The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 170: Breaking the Rules

"No problem, once you encounter him, just tear this talisman apart, and I will be able to return to the mortal realm for a short time to help you!"

Yun Qing nodded and took out a yellow talisman, handing it to Qin Jun; it was covered in mysterious blood-colored runes.

Black Impermanence suddenly spoke with a smile, "Yun Qing has also recently broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm, which will be a significant aid when the time comes."

Qin Jun gladly accepted the yellow talisman. The help of an Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse was naturally not to be refused. Besides, Yun Chengmo would probably need ten to eight years to recover to his peak. Qin Jun worried he wouldn’t be able to restrain his killing intent and make an early move. Demons are notoriously fickle in their tempers.

"If you can help me kill Yun Chengmo, I will reward you!" Yun Qing said, looking earnestly at Qin Jun.

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow, feeling the rhythm of triggering a side quest!

"Rest assured! Leave it to me!"

Qin Jun patted his chest in assurance. With Sand Monk with him, he actually didn’t need Yun Qing’s intervention, but since she was willing, Qin Jun would grant her the favor, deeply moved by her millennia-long obsession.

Yun Qing nodded gratefully. With her cultivation, she didn’t have the power to go to the mortal realm temporarily, especially since she hadn’t learned the Yin and Yang Escape Technique like Black and White Impermanence.

"Let me tell you about his fighting style and the signs of his appearance," Yun Qing continued, and she proceeded to explain all she knew about Yun Chengmo.

Qin Jun couldn’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment; not that the information was useless, but because he had not triggered a side quest!

After Yun Qing finished speaking, she turned to Black and White Impermanence and bowed, "Thank you both for giving me hope to end my longstanding wish."

She had not known Black and White Impermanence before, but they had suddenly approached her and brought up Yun Chengmo, unsettling her calm.

"You’re welcome. We’re also helping our Highness," said Black Impermanence with a nod and a smile.

Then Qin Jun said nothing more. After bidding farewell to Yun Qing, they left the ghost inn.

Watching their retreating figures, Yun Qing murmured to herself, "The two ghost gods actually refer to a person from the mortal realm as ’Your Highness.’ Could this young man have been their master in a previous life?"

To become a Ghost God surely required long years; thus, she concluded that in a distant past life, Qin Jun must have been the master of Black and White Impermanence. The two became Ghost Gods after death and were now repaying Qin Jun—a common tale in the netherworld.

Walking on the ghost street, Qin Jun asked, "You could have passed the message to me, so why did you insist I come down to the netherworld?"

White Impermanence explained, "Since we were strangers to her before, she said she would only speak if she saw Your Highness."

The arrival of a living person in the netherworld was a rare event, enough to convince Yun Qing.

Qin Jun had a moment of realization, then chose not to ask more, his thoughts turning to Sand Monk, curious about the shock this nine-layered Immortal Realm monk would bring him.

...

Early the next morning, Jia Xun knocked on the door, pulling Qin Jun back from his cultivation.

He got up to open the door for Jia Xun and asked, "What’s the matter?"

"I just got news. In this Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition, each contestant is allowed to bring a servant to the Imperial City. So, the immortals are discussing who should accompany you to the Imperial City," Jia Xun said joyfully. Qin Jun had recently offended many, and Jia Xun was worried that if Qin Jun went to the Imperial City, he might not return, so this news was a pleasant surprise.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun’s eyes also gleamed with excitement.

He immediately went downstairs with Jia Xun.

At that moment, the cultivators in the Roaming Dragon Inn were all discussing this matter.

"It’s unreasonable to bring a servant!"

"It’s said it’s because contestants keep dying off lately, and the various kingdoms are complaining. The Imperial Dynasty cannot afford to lose face."

"Exactly, a lot of people from our Luoyan City have died, and not outside, but within the city itself."

"It feels like there’s a conspiracy behind it; think about the demonic cultivators that appeared before."

"Don’t scare me, could it be that exaggerated?"

Qin Jun listened to these conversations, a thought flashing through his mind. The murder cases in Luoyan City weren’t all his doing; similar events were happening in other cities as well.

Could it be that something big was about to happen?

However, with the foundations of the Imperial Dynasty, they truly weren’t afraid of kingdom contestants bringing one bodyguard into the Imperial City. Not everyone was like Qin Jun, with a plethora of strong subordinates. At most, a kingdom could summon a Transforming Void Realm force, and even that only from a few kingdoms. For smaller kingdoms like Qianyue Kingdom, the strongest force was merely at the Ascending Mortal Realm.

Arriving at a corner of the first floor, Evening Star, Li Bai, Li Yuanba, Fa Hai, Daji, and Li were discussing, with Qin Yun standing behind them full of envy; Zhu Yanqing was drinking tea on her own, not joining in; a group of guards surrounded them.

Upon seeing Qin Jun approaching, Li Yuanba was the first to speak, "Your Highness, you don’t need their help—as long as you have me, that’ll do!"

"No, although you are very strong, Yuanba, it is safer to have one more person," Evening Star said, shaking his head.

"Brother Qin Jun, let me accompany you!" Li came over and acted coyly, causing Zhu Yanqing at the side to frown slightly.

Previously, it didn’t matter much, but now that she had accepted Qin Jun, she couldn’t help but feel jealous.

Qin Jun shrugged and said with a smile, "Stop it, this time I plan to bring someone else, so you all just wait here at ease!"

"Someone else?" The group was surprised, and Roaring Sky Dog’s eyes flashed with a hint of color. Could it be one of Black and White Impermanence?

"Actually, you can bring four people!" Evening Star suddenly said, causing everyone to look at him.

Stroking his beard, Evening Star suggested with a demeanor of resourceful planning, "Your Highness, Yuanba, the Fourth Prince, and Miss Zhu can each bring one person."

At this statement, everyone’s eyes widened, including Qin Jun’s. Damn, why hadn’t I thought of this?

With Roaring Sky Dog as a combat pet, he could essentially bring five strong allies to the Imperial City—then who would he need to fear?

The key was that with Evening Star’s words, he had astutely brought Qin Yun and Zhu Yanqing together on the same boat—a deep strategy indeed!

"From the time of my birth, I’ve carried extraordinary vigor, wandering tens of thousands of miles across the universe. Heroes emerge all over the world, showing their names and standing as models among gallant men!"

"All the nations and nine provinces are at my disposal, as I collide through the five lakes and four seas. The reason I wander the world seeking the Way is to find my master, roaming the vast lands!"

Just then, a hearty and wild laugh came from outside the inn, resonating like thunderous drumbeats and turning many a cultivator’s head. Strong individuals like Evening Star and Li Bai frowned.

This visitor was no ordinary person!

"Clad in my robes, I carry my bowl wherever I go, my mind never straying each day. Roaming the clouds across the earth dozens of times, I nonchalantly traverse a hundred more journeys!"

"Thus, I was fortunate to meet a sage, leading me to a path illuminated with golden light. First, to gather the baby and the enchantress, and then to release the Wooden Mother and Golden Father!"

As he read the lines, Qin Jun felt they were familiar, as if he had seen them in a book. Then, a burly monk entered, his long, flame-like disheveled hair, eyes bright as lamps; his indigo face neither black nor green, draped in a yellow cloak, his waist cinched with a white rattan belt, his neck adorned with nine skulls, holding a fearsome jeweled staff in his hand.

Indeed, it was him!

Qin Jun excitedly stood to his feet at the sight.
