The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 68 - Two Stars in the Dry Moon

68: Chapter 68 Two Stars in the Dry Moon

68 -68 Two Stars in the Dry Moon

The news of Qin Yu losing the Imperial Guard Token caused a storm throughout the royal capital.

Although the three major sects did not express their attitudes, observant people noticed that the interactions between the Purple Light Sect and Qin Yu were becoming increasingly scarce.

Meanwhile, Qin Jun, the instigator of the event, spent his days practicing spear techniques within the palace.

Under Guan Yu’s guidance, his spear skills improved by leaps and bounds, and at the same time, his Purple Rainbow Lightning Technique was on the verge of a breakthrough to the second layer.

The Purple Rainbow Lightning Technique is divided into six levels, each with its own spell.

Qin Jun had already mastered the Thunder Palm of the first level.

However, as a close-range spell and with the possession of the Silver Dragon Soul-Devouring Spear, it was estimated that Thunder Palm would struggle to unleash its full potential.

For the following week, Qin Jun seldom left the palace and was fully immersed in his spear technique.

Nan Yuxin did come to see him once during this period, but upon seeing him so diligently practicing his spear, she was too embarrassed to disturb him and left.

As for Chang Qianqian, she wasn’t able to enter the palace at all.

After a week of training, Qin Jun had transformed completely.

Although his spear skills were not exquisite, wielding the Silver Dragon Soul-Devouring Spear was no longer as difficult as before.

He also felt confident in fighting cultivators of the same level.

Previously, he had relied on the mythology system to level up, which left his foundation unstable, but now it was as solid as a seasoned expert.

At the very least, Yan Mobei and his servants together were no match for him.

It would take no more than five moves to take them down.

On this day, under Shen Yan’s guidance, Qin Jun and others moved to the newly prepared Yuewang Palace.

Tonight was also the time for the Talent Banquet, which would take place at Yuewang Palace as well.

The layout of Yuewang Palace was grander than the Cheng Family in Qingtan City, with an area more than twice as large.

There were thousands of rooms, embellished with numerous gardens and small rivers and filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers.

Upon entering the main gate of Yuewang Palace, rows of maidservants and servants knelt down and shouted in unison, “Greetings to Third Prince!”

With a quick glance, there were at least a thousand people, a sight that gave Qin Jun a thrill.

No wonder people are so desperate for power.

“Alright, go on with your tasks!” Qin Jun waved his hand with a smile.

The servants bowed once more before dispersing.

Standing beside him, Shen Yan smiled and said, “Your Highness, are you pleased?”

This time, he skipped the formality entirely, indicating a sense of closeness.

Qin Jun had only returned for a few days before he was made a king and, with a little scheming, stripped Qin Yu of his greatest power.

The gap between the two was clear to all discerning eyes.

The Qian Emperor could clearly see the tricks of Qin Jun.

But so what?

Qin Yu dared to deceive his sovereign and commit disrespect; even if the emperor knew the truth, he was still furious.

I lent you the power to use, but I didn’t say the Imperial Guards were all yours!

I’m not dead yet, and you disregard me.

Alright then, I will strip you of your power and see how you preen then!

It was rumored that because he was stripped of the Imperial Guard Token, Qin Yu was again infuriated to the point of illness and had not left the Palace of Prince Yu for a week, continually recuperating.

“I’m satisfied.

From a young age, I’ve always noted Eunuch Shen’s dedication to his work.

When have you ever made a mistake?” Qin Jun said jokingly.

A bit of flattery didn’t shorten one’s life.

After all, Shen Yan would be working under him in the future. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

When he ascends to the throne, the entire Qianyue Kingdom will be his!

Shen Yan’s face beamed with joy, and he bowed with a smile, “Alright, the news of the Talent Banquet has been spread.

Any young cultivator may attend, and the specific procedures and tasks will be introduced to you by Steward Zhang.

I must return to the palace with other matters to attend to.”

A dignified elderly man dressed in luxurious clothes bowed and said, “For any trivial matters in Yuewang Palace, Your Highness can ask me to assist.”

Qin Jun nodded at him with a smile and then said to Shen Yan, “Eunuch Shen, please take your leave without me escorting you.”

Shen Yan waved his hand and left, while Qin Jun introduced Guan Yu, Daji, Yan Mobei, and the Roaring Sky Dog to Old Zhang.

Old Zhang’s gaze lingered on Guan Yu, and he thought to himself, “This must be the legendary general who defeated Xiao Beilong in one strike.

Truly impressive!”

It was not yet noon, and Qin Jun had plenty of time to explore Yuewang Palace.

“Daji, what do you think Yuewang Palace is missing?” Qin Jun began his usual teasing of Daji.

“What?” Daji asked in confusion.

Yuewang Palace seemed to lack nothing, replete with luxury.

“A mistress,” Qin Jun said mysteriously, causing Guan Yu and Yan Mobei to twitch at the corners of their mouths.

Fortunately, the gaggle of children had already gone off to play, or they would be corrupted by Qin Jun again.

Daji rolled her eyes and didn’t respond.

Qin Jun was always trying to express his love for her, and although she felt helpless, there was still some flutter in her heart.

However, she couldn’t bring herself to admire him as he was too young and his cultivation too weak.

She said bluntly, “When you become a real man, a mistress will naturally come your way!”

Qin Jun collapsed in frustration, cursing internally, Damn, you really have the nerve to say something like that.

A man may be killed, but he cannot be humiliated!

However, he could only harbor his resentment silently.

If it came to a fight, he certainly wouldn’t stand a chance against Daji.

…

Time trickled by, and nightfall soon arrived.

At dusk, the Yuewang Palace had already lit up with lanterns, and two rows of servants stood at the entrance, welcoming the young cultivators inside.

Inside the palace, there were hundreds of tables laden with pastries for the guests to enjoy.

“This is Yuewang Palace, huh?

It’s really impressive.

Qin Jun has really made something of himself,” Chang Qianqian exclaimed with surprise as she looked ahead at Yuewang Palace.

Having not seen Qin Jun for a week, she certainly wasn’t going to miss tonight’s banquet.

All those accompanying her were young disciples.

The Great Elder, Xu Hai, had not come.

“Well, he is a prince, after all.

Of course, he’s impressive.” Chang Hao’s tone was sour.

By now, he had completely given up any hope of getting revenge on Qin Jun.

Even Qin Yu had been repeatedly bested by Qin Jun.

If he dared to offend Qin Jun again, it would certainly be suicidal.

Zhong Ling sighed, “Qin Jun really is exceptional.

We should try to be on good terms with him in the future.”

As she said this, she glanced subconsciously at Zhuo Junjie, who was walking in the front.

Although Zhuo Junjie was extremely talented and recognized as the number one genius of Qianyue Kingdom, it was not wise to oppose a whole kingdom.

Zhuo Junjie’s expression was impassive as his eyes fixed forward, just as a group from the Purple Light Sect approached from the other direction, with Yuewang Palace’s gate in the middle.

Leading them was the Purple Light Sect’s top disciple, Lu Xuanfeng.

He too saw Zhuo Junjie, and their eyes met in mid-air, causing both to frown simultaneously.

Within Qianyue Kingdom, Zhuo Junjie was the only genius to make the list of notable figures.

Although Lu Xuanfeng was hailed as the second genius of the kingdom, his status was far inferior since he hadn’t made the list.

As both groups reached the entrance of Yuewang Palace, Lu Xuanfeng was the first to smile and say, “Zhuo Junjie, tonight we should have a good comparison.

I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

In response, Zhuo Junjie said indifferently, “Perhaps you’ll be defeated by someone else first.”

The cultivators passing by immediately burst into lively discussions upon seeing the two:

“Zhuo Junjie and Lu Xuanfeng, the twin stars of Qianyue!”

“Tsk, tsk, it looks like these two will compete for glory again tonight.”

“What ‘twin stars of Qianyue’—they can only dominate within the kingdom!”

“You say that as if you’re famous beyond our borders.”

Zhong Ling couldn’t help but sigh as she watched Lu Xuanfeng, “Although Lu Xuanfeng has lost to Senior Brother Zhuo before, he’s not giving up.

Given his confident appearance, tonight’s banquet is bound to be full of surprises.”

“Pfft, the most impressive person tonight will definitely be Qin Jun!” Chang Qianqian said with hands on her hips, unimpressed.
