The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 32 - Chamber of Commerce

32 -32: Chamber of Commerce

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft…

Bullets successively hit each member of the Assassins, with the power of Desert Eagle growing stronger along with Qin Jun’s cultivation.

Now, at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, using the Desert Eagle, he was capable of instantly killing practitioners at the energy refining realm.

“Ding!

Killed an energy refining realm sixth-level cultivator!

Gained 65 experience points!”

“Ding!

Killed an energy refining realm seventh-level cultivator!

Gained 71 experience points!”

“Ding!

Killed an energy refining realm fifth-level cultivator!

Gained 59 experience points!”

…

Seeing five Assassins shot, the remaining members became vigilant.

They quickly dodged, but unfortunately, Qin Jun’s speed was faster, making their heads spin with his rapid fire.

As Assassins continued to fall, the system’s notification sounds were like beautiful music, making Qin Jun’s blood surge with excitement.

It seems meddling in others’ affairs today was the right choice!

Directly pulling aggro and triggering a side quest, maybe after a few more waves, it might be possible to break through to the Golden Elixir Realm!

“So strong!”

The leader of the Assassins thought in shock.

The middle-aged man with a big beard had a similar expression, while the ten children he was protecting looked at Qin Jun with admiration on their faces.

Qin Jun, clad in white, walked among the Assassins; blood splattered but did not stain him, leaving an indelible impression on all who witnessed the scene.

In less than a minute, all the Assassins laid on the ground, leaving only their trembling leader backing away, clearly terrified of Qin Jun.

“What did you just say?”

Qin Jun toyed with the Desert Eagle and tauntingly smiled as he approached the leader of the Assassins.

Daji and Roaring Sky Dog did not intervene; they stood not too far away, watching as if enjoying a play.

Handling this batch of Assassins was a job Qin Jun could complete on his own.

The leader was soaked in cold sweat, even his red scarf dampened, reflecting the terror plainly written on his face.

“Just who are you, and do you know who you have offended by going against the Yan Family?” the leader of the Assassins asked through clenched teeth, his voice trembling, obviously very unsettled.

Yet, as he was speaking, he subtly moved his right hand behind his waist.

“Who is it?” Qin Jun’s face revealed a strange smile, hoping to draw out the power behind the Assassins.

If they knew that Qin Jun had disrupted their plans, surely they would be resentful, which could lead to another side quest.

Phew!

Qin Jun, you’re becoming more and more cunning!

Qin Jun thought proudly to himself, but the leader of the Assassins had no clue of his thoughts.

He heard only the leader declaring sternly, “I am carrying out tasks for the current Fifth Prince; you should not persist in your folly!”

Now in the imperial capital, the Fifth Prince, Qin Yu, could be said to have the world under his command, deeply trusted by the Emperor, his power widespread in both court and country.

Commoners and officials alike were inclined to believe that Qin Yu would become the Crown Prince.

It was common knowledge that the Emperor was frail, and he was estimated to have only three to four more years.

“Oh, you’re serving the Fifth Prince!” Qin Jun feigned terror, but his eyes flashed with a chilling intent.

Indeed, enemies were bound to meet!

If the force behind the Assassins was Qin Yu, then meddle in these affairs Qin Jun must!

“Hmph, I advise you to leave swiftly!” the leader of the Assassins said coldly.

He did not seek to leverage the Fifth Prince’s power to hassle Qin Jun, for he knew he was no match for a Foundation Establishment powerhouse.

However, this matter was far from over.

The opponent had wiped out his men; surely he would report this matter to the Fifth Prince.

In his eyes, Qin Jun was as good as dead.

At that moment, the feigned terror on Qin Jun’s face vanished, replaced by a coldness.

He raised the Desert Eagle and fired.

The bullet tore through the air and directly pierced the leader of the Assassins.

“You…”

The leader of the Assassins widened his eyes, the dagger in his hand behind his back slipping to the ground.

Until his death, he never understood who Qin Jun really was.

If his backer had been anyone else, it might have been fine.

But it was Qin Yu he had offended, which was truly unlucky.

“Ding!

Killed an energy refining realm eighth-level cultivator!

Gained 88 experience points!”

“Ding!

Completed the side quest—Annihilate the Assassin Squad!

Gained 2000 experience points!”

Two consecutive system notifications rang out, melting the coldness on Qin Jun’s face.

Needing six thousand experience points to break through the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment, annihilating these Assassins meant he was not far from achieving his breakthrough.

“Many thanks to Young Master for the rescue.

I am Yan Mobei, the head of the Yan Family.

May I inquire as to Young Master’s noble surname and honorable name, so that in the future, our Yan Family can properly express our gratitude?”

The middle-aged man with a big beard came forward and greeted with a fist-palm salute.

It was clear Qin Jun didn’t appear to be a villain and coupled with what he previously said to the leader of the Assassins, it was apparent that he was a hero acting valiantly.

“Qin Jun!”

Qin Jun made no secret of it, since he wasn’t the type to hide his good deeds under a bushel!

After all, he was someone who would be Emperor in the future; the more renown he could garner now, the better!

“Qin Jun…

such a familiar name…” Yan Mobei muttered under his breath, and the next second, his face changed colors as he looked at Qin Jun with disbelief.

Wasn’t Qin Jun the name of the Third Prince who was recently demoted?

The three protectors of the Yan Family, guarding the ten children, also looked in their direction, realizing that someone who could shock Yan Mobei so deeply was no ordinary person.

“Correct, I have returned once more,” Qin Jun said with a smile.

On the day Qin Jun’s predecessor was escorted out of the imperial palace, all the commoners in the capital witnessed it, because he was paraded through the streets out of the city, a truly humiliating spectacle.

And there was no doubt that it was Qin Yu’s idea; initially, the Emperor had intended to send Qin Jun quietly to the borders, but Qin Yu proposed, “Qin Jun’s corruption has already caused an uproar in the capital.

The royal family must address this with high emphasis, letting the populace know that no one is above the law, while also serving as a cautionary tale for future generations!”

Just thinking about it infuriated Qin Jun.

While he wasn’t the true original inhabitant of this body, he couldn’t stand Qin Yu’s scheming methods.

Why must they, born of the same roots, push one’s own siblings into a deadly plight?

The predecessor had no power within the government and the only threat he posed to Qin Yu was his betrothal, a pity that the former prince was too incompetent for anyone to take the engagement seriously.

For the betrothed was none other than the daughter of the powerful General Nan Meng, Nan Yuxin.

Nan Meng certainly wouldn’t marry off his daughter to a wastrel, even if he was a prince.

Nowadays, Nan Meng’s authority in the court was no less significant than the Chancellor’s, deeply trusted by the Emperor.

With this in mind, Qin Yu must have set his sights on Nan Yuxin.

If he could gain the support of a powerhouse like Nan Meng, the throne would indeed be within his grasp!

“Greetings, Third Prince!”

Yan Mobei immediately fell to one knee, respectfully addressing Qin Jun, with the Yan family protectors following suit in alarm.

Qin Jun inwardly reveled in satisfaction, finding Yan Mobei increasingly agreeable.

“I am now a man bearing sins; spare the formalities.

What has your Yan Family done to offend Qin Yu?” Qin Jun asked, waving his hand.

He had never heard of the Assassins before, a clear indication they weren’t part of any official records.

Qin Yu daring to privately dispatch killers to exterminate a clan just outside the royal capital was an act that blatantly defied imperial authority.

Perhaps he could find something to use against Qin Yu through the Yan Family.

“Alas, all because they coveted our family’s commercial association!” Yan Mobei replied, his voice filled with gloom and helplessness.
