The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 34 - 34 34 King of Bloody Blade

?34: Chapter 34 King of Bloody Blade 34: Chapter 34 King of Bloody Blade Daji, whose loyalty was maintained at ninety, did not bother about the Yan Family being too weak any further.

Before leaving, Yan Mobei wished to bury his Clan members, which Qin Jun could comprehend.

Straight away, he instructed Daji to blast numerous pits for the burials.

This incident genuinely frightened Yan Mobei and the others; they had not expected Daji to be so powerful, fearing that she might not be as simple as just being at the Foundation Establishment stage!

No wonder Qin Jun dared to return to the capital; it turned out he had a trump card indeed!

Throughout the burial process, ten children started crying intensely, including Yan San, whose grieving made Qin Jun’s heart wrench and also annoyed him.

However, he did not interrupt the children’s weeping; rather, his killing intent towards Qin Yu grew stronger.

If Qin Yu were to ascend the throne, it was doubtful that the Qianyue Kingdom would enter a peaceful and prosperous era.

To annihilate whole Clans at the slightest disagreement, the emperor’s ruthlessness was sufficient, but it was excessive.

To be an emperor, one needed not only ruthlessness but also a sliver of benevolence, benevolence meant for the common people!

“Yan San, do you want revenge?”

After the simple funeral concluded, Qin Jun rubbed Yan San’s head and asked.

Yan Mobei and three guards looked over in surprise, while the rest of the children, still naive—though they had mocked Yan San as useless before the Clan’s disaster, saw their previous conflicts evaporate in an instant—thus they all turned their gaze towards Yan San.

“Yes!

I must avenge this in my lifetime!” Yan San wiped away his tears and said resolutely.

Qin Jun couldn’t help but sigh, “Damn, this kid would absolutely be the protagonist in a novel world!”

Carrying the vendetta of his Clan’s bloodbath, the useless turning into an unparalleled genius—a perfect protagonist template!

“Would you like to follow me then?

I will train you to become a master, and then you can take your own revenge!” Qin Jun asked with a sly grin on his face.

“Willing!”

Yan San replied excitedly, while the rest of the children showed envious expressions.

Qin Jun’s performance had inspired great admiration in them, and in their hearts, he was both benefactor and idol.

Yan Mobei hesitated, “Young Master…

about San’s aptitude…”

“You all are mistaken!”

Qin Jun burst into laughter, and then turned and walked away.

Daji and Roaring Sky Dog followed closely behind him.

Seeing this, Yan Mobei had no choice but to suppress his doubts and led the remaining Clan members to quickly follow.

…

Within an expansive and imposing palace, the Fifth Prince Qin Yu was reading at his desk.

At merely sixteen years old, he was as handsome as Qin Jun.

He wore brocade clothing adorned with various jewels.

Under his sword-like eyebrows, his eyes were focused on the book.

Two beautiful palace maids were massaging his shoulders and back.

The book he was reading was about classic cases of struggles for power among ministers from past dynasties, a taboo subject within the royal palace.

Yet he dared to read it, indicating his ambition.

“Your Highness, Blood-Blade King requests an audience,” a young eunuch said softly as he ran in.

Without turning his head, Qin Yu gestured with his hand and replied, “Let him in.”

Blood-Blade King was his confidant, an expert at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment realm!

He also had established a secret assassination organization named Blood-Blade, which held a certain reputation in the kingdom.

Taking on various assassination jobs on a daily basis, no one would have thought that this organization was controlled by Qin Yu.

Soon, the Blood-Blade Guard strode in with confidence.

He wore a red robe that seemed soaked in blood.

Below his pale hair was a cold and tough face, and he appeared to be around his forties.

A curved blade, half a zhang in length, was fastened to his waist.

As he walked in, it seemed as if the temperature in the grand hall dropped significantly, causing the two palace maids to shiver.

“How did it go, has the Yan Family been eradicated?” Qin Yu glanced at Blood-Blade King and asked indifferently.

Kneeling on one knee, the guard said gravely, “Most of the Yan Family has been killed, but Yan Mobei escaped with a group of Yan children.

I dispatched a squad of Blood-Blade Guards to pursue and assassinate them, but they have not yet returned and are likely to have met with misfortune.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately put down his book, looked up at Blood-Blade King, and asked with furrowed brows, “Yan Mobei has no cultivation in energy refining, are you implying that someone is helping the Yan Family?”

In the capital, there were not many who dared to oppose him, but indeed there were some.

Blood-Blade King did not answer; he understood Qin Yu was not really asking him, but rather pondering.

Besides, it wasn’t his place to respond to that question; doing so might cause the suspicious Qin Yu to overthink.

Among the princes, Qin Yu had the most kingly mindset.

Working for him, everyone was walking on thin ice, fearing to misspeak.

“You may leave.

I will have someone look into Yan Mobei’s whereabouts.

Wait for my command,” Qin Yu waved him away, the Yan Family was but a speck of dust in his eyes, to be wiped away at his convenience.

Now that someone was aiding the Yan Family, he was not concerned but merely curious.

There were more than just the Yanbei Chamber of Commerce within the capital.

Blood-Blade King bowed respectfully and quickly left, with the hall returning to its quiet state.

Qin Yu picked up the book and continued reading.

The two palace maids did not make a sound, their expressions unchanging throughout.

…

“We’re about to enter the capital,” Qin Jun said, gazing at the formidable gates ahead, while Daji and Roaring Sky Dog showed curiosity.

This was their first time visiting the Human Clan’s capital.

Yan Mobei and the others were a bit nervous.

The city gates of the capital were ten meters high, made of cast bronze, and embellished with carvings of exotic and mythical creatures, lending them a majestic aire.

The walls stretching from the gates were so long that they separated the wilderness beyond comprehension.

At the gates, a group of soldiers stood guard, each at least at the fifth layer of the energy refining realm, making it impossible for common thieves to break in.

“Once we’re through, I’ll have Roaring Sky Dog go with you, and Daji will help me sneak in,” Qin Jun instructed as he turned back.

Despite his transformation, commoners wouldn’t connect him to the Third Prince, but the gate guards knew his face.

To be cautious, he decided to enter the city quietly.

The capital was vast, incomparable to any other city.

Once inside, finding a place to hide would certainly be easy.

“This…” Yan Mobei looked at Roaring Sky Dog, instantly becoming uneasy.

Depend on this mutt?

He guessed they would be captured by Qin Yu’s men upon entry, and the black dog would likely be stewed.

If Roaring Sky Dog heard his thoughts, it would surely tear them to pieces.

“Don’t worry, we will meet up once we’re inside,” Qin Jun reassured with a wave of his hand.

Yan Mobei was relieved upon hearing this.

Subsequently, Daji wrapped her arms around Qin Jun’s waist, and the two vanished into the air, leaving Yan Mobei and the others gaping at the spot where they disappeared.

Such speed…

At the same time, Qin Jun opened his eyes to find himself already within the capital.

He and Daji stood in an alley, with the noise from the nearby streets making him feel as though he was dreaming.

Having fully merged with this body, the previous memories were tantamount to an extra sixteen years of life for him.

Everything about the capital evoked a sense of familiarity.

Stepping out of the alley, they were greeted with various vendors, taverns, and shops along the streets, with carriages and citizens bustling around, a scene of prosperity.

To the left was the city gate where Yan Mobei and the rest were just registering with the city guards, now approaching them.

“Capital, I have returned, and all that’s here is destined to be mine!”

As Qin Jun turned toward the heart of the capital, he glimpsed the faint outline of the distant palace emerging at the horizon.
