570: Chapter 570: Dragon Emperor 570: Chapter 570: Dragon Emperor After chatting for a full two hours, Qin Jun left Kuafu’s room with complete satisfaction.
Although Kuafu did not have his memories from a previous life, the system had arranged for him to have the memories of a Great Witch from the Witch Clan; he simply lacked the experience of chasing the sun.
Pretending to be a young Witch Clan fanboy, Qin Jun asked Kuafu about Witch Clan legends, feeding Kuafu’s vanity.
As soon as the Witch Clan was mentioned, Kuafu became utterly talkative, his face beaming with pride.
In the end, Qin Jun not only earned five loyalty points from Kuafu but also gained considerable information about the Witch Clan.
According to Kuafu, he was not considered a top fighter among the Witch Clan; the strongest were the twelve ancestral witches.
Compared to the ancestral witches, Kuafu considered himself worthless.
Just as he stepped out from Kuafu’s room, Ji Yongsheng couldn’t resist asking in his mind, “How did you manage to attract a Daluo Realm powerhouse to pledge allegiance to you?”
In Ji Yongsheng’s eyes, only the existence of someone in the Daluo Realm could capture his attention.
Qin Jun often managed to recruit various powerful figures, and Ji Yongsheng couldn’t be bothered to ask, but this time, he couldn’t remain calm.
Why would a Daluo Realm powerhouse pledge allegiance to someone from the Immortal Realm?
Ji Yongsheng couldn’t understand.
“You tell me first about our relationship, and also the origins of the Extreme Flame Demon God!”
Qin Jun snorted coldly in his mind.
While speaking, he walked into his own room.
“I really can’t say.
Trust me, if I let you know now, you would fall into a calamity from which you couldn’t escape, and even if that Daluo from before were here, they couldn’t protect you,” Ji Yongsheng said helplessly.
Initially, he had just brushed Qin Jun off, telling him to break through to the Immortal Realm first.
He had not expected that guy to break through to the Immortal Realm so quickly, making Ji Yongsheng feel like he’d been slapped in the face.
“Is it really that horrifying?” Qin Jun frowned with concern.
If even Ji Yongsheng was afraid, could it be one of the gods under the control of Heavenly Dao?
Or could it be Heavenly Dao itself?
Having thought this, Qin Jun decided to let it go.
He didn’t want to take the risk.
Moreover, now that he had summoned Kuafu, he wasn’t afraid even of God Temple, so why rush to complete a main quest?
When he returned to the Southern Domain, he would have other quests to complete.
This night was destined to leave everyone on the ship unable to sleep peacefully, all because of Kuafu’s arrival.
…
In the blink of an eye, three days swiftly passed.
Kuafu did not blend in with Yang Jian and the others; he kept to himself.
Most of the time, he only talked to Qin Jun, and occasionally Zhu Bajie and Liu Ruolai would come to chat.
Kuafu always had a cold expression when facing Zhu Bajie, and though he was slightly warmer to Liu Ruolai, he was still indifferent.
“In another two days, we should be able to reach the Black Dragon Palace,” Jiang Ziya said with a smile, standing beside Qin Jun.
According to him, it was better for them to keep control of the magic ship, to prevent the slaves from getting any ideas.
Therefore, Jiang Ziya had already learned to control the magic ship, and also reviewed all the records about the Southernmost Sea on the ship, including the maps.
Qin Jun nodded and whispered with a smile, “Once we arrive at the Black Dragon Palace, I want you to pick out nine majestic dragons for me to pull my carriage!”
Nine dragons to pull a carriage?
Jiang Ziya was startled, not expecting Qin Jun to have such ambition.
That was a complete affront to the dignity of the Dragon Clan!
But thinking of Yang Jian and others, as well as the mysterious Great Witch Kuafu, he came to terms with it.
Indeed, Qin Jun had nothing to fear.
For a moment, Jiang Ziya felt a flood of emotions; it was good to follow Qin Jun, who had many capable people under his command.
It was unlike the past, during the Investiture of the Gods, when he had to solicit powerful beings to assist his own master.
At this moment, Qin Jun was somewhat excited.
In just two days, he would be able to see Li.
How could he remain calm?
He wondered how the girl had been doing recently.
“Yīn——”
Just then, a dragon’s roar was heard from ahead, drawing the attention of Qin Jun and Jiang Ziya.
Liu Ruolai, who had not seen a real dragon before, was also curious and came closer.
The three of them looked up to see a green dragon tumbling in the sea ahead, its body over a hundred meters long, with many sea beasts surrounding it.
A transfomed Demon King was also hovering in the air, attacking it.
“Tsk tsk, don’t bother struggling anymore, just give in!”
This demon king resembled a shark but had a pair of wings on its back like those of a bat, stirring up the stench of blood as they flapped.
“Our Dragon Clan has never interfered with your Demon Clan, do you want to declare war?” continued the green dragon, struggling as it spoke.
Its cultivation was at the Earth Immortal Realm, making it a solid pillar in the Dragon Clan.
The shark demon king crossed his arms over his chest, sneering, “Declare war?
Your Black Dragon King is no match for our king, unqualified to declare war.
If not for the support of the Dragon Emperor, your Dragon Clan wouldn’t even be able to stand in the Southernmost Sea!”
Dragon Emperor!
At the mention of this name, something flickered in the green dragon’s eyes.
In the eyes of the outside world, the Dragon Clan was the overlord of the Southernmost Sea, and even the Green Fox King didn’t dare to provoke them lightly.
However, only a few knew that the Dragon Clan of the Southernmost Sea was under the protection of the Dragon Emperor.
Thousands of years ago, the Dragon Emperor brought the Dragon Clan to the Southernmost Sea, defeating the Green Fox King with his unsurpassed magical powers and signing a treaty that nobody within the Southernmost Sea could harm the Dragon Clan’s people.
The current Black Dragon King was a disciple of the Dragon Emperor and was also the reigning Dragon King.
The Dragon Emperor had gone to seek greater achievements in wider realms and occasionally returned to visit and intimidate the Green Fox King.
“Your Dragon Emperor perished outside, now your Dragon Clan can just wait to be devoured by our Demon Clan!” cackled the shark demon king, certain that dragon flesh was highly nourishing!
Whoosh—
At that moment, a black streak shot across the sea level at incredible speed, piercing through the shark demon king’s head, freezing its ferocious expression instantly.
The sea beasts, lacking high intelligence, continued their relentless assault on the green dragon even as their leader was instantly killed.
At the end of the sea horizon, the Rank-8 magic ship rapidly approached.
“Go save it,” said Qin Jun softly; after all, it was a dragon and kin of sorts, so it deserved to be saved.
The founder of the Dragon Clan was his subordinate, the princess of the Dragon Clan was his beloved, so the Dragon Clan was essentially his people too.
Standing beside him, Jiang Ziya nodded and quickly flew towards the green dragon.
Jiang Ziya, with his True Immortal Realm third layer cultivation, found such a minor matter effortless to deal with.
By the time the magic ship reached the green dragon, Jiang Ziya had already killed all the sea beasts, and the bloodied green dragon lay on the sea surface, watching the people on the ship nervously with its anxious draconic eyes.
“Do you know the Black Dragon King?” Qin Jun asked, looking down at it.
The map showed only the approximate route; if they had a dragon to guide them, it would be far more convenient.
“What do you want to do?” the green dragon asked uncertainly.
Human cultivators were known to be cunning, a fact that had spread among the demon and dragon clans.
“Rest assured, I mean no harm, otherwise I wouldn’t have saved you,” said Qin Jun with a gentle laugh.
Just then, an oppressive might approached from the sky.
Yang Jian and the Nine-Headed Insect appeared behind Qin Jun, while Tang Sanzang stood atop the attic and called out loudly, “A capable being from the Demon Clan is attacking!”
For Tang Sanzang to call someone a “capable being,” they must be extremely powerful!
The green dragon shuddered even more, peering in horror as thick demon energy rolled in from the horizon, chilling it to the bone.
