Blood Moon Hunters

It was midnight. Juyongguan seemed quiet and peaceful. Nobody knew that this was an illusion created by the cultivators.

“That’s…”

Everyone was leaking cold sweat. The voice coming out just now made their soul tremble. There was no doubt that it was the greatest emperor of all time, Emperor Qin Shihuang, who was speaking.

“May I ask if you are Qin Shihuang?”

Wang Bugui didn’t look scared anymore. His body was quivering, but he was suppressing his fear as he tried to talk to the mysterious figure.

Other people knew how risky it was to try to talk to Qin Shihuang because His Majesty sounded quite angry with those intruders.

Wang Bugui wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences if Qin Shihuang felt offended by his questions.

Those people dared not to say a word because the Imperatorial Power made it hard for them to breathe. Their primordial spirit and their body were submitting themselves to the supreme power.

“Hmph!”

Soon after Wang Bugui asked the question, Qin Shihuang grunted coldly again. The short sound contained Taoist power. The other people felt that their blood had been boiled.

The cracks on Blood Demon King, Zhao Yun, and Lyu Bu became more obvious. They felt dizzy and could barely stand upright.

Wang Bugui gritted his teeth and tried not to be influenced by the voice. He then explained, “I didn’t mean to offend you, I was just investigating the cause of the sudden change of the Dragon Qi.”

“You stirred up my Dragon Qi and disturbed me. I won’t believe any of your excuses!”

Emperor Qin Shihuang scolded him. His fury made the others feel their heart jump out of their throat.

They wondered how a man who had died 2,000 years ago could still be so powerful. They felt like meat on a chopping block and had no way to escape.

“I didn’t mean to offend you. Please forgive me!” Wang Bugui didn’t give up.

“Being awakened consumes a lot of my power. I’ll give you one more chance to come up with a better excuse,” Qin Shihuang said slowly.

“We’re all people of Hua Xia, and we fight for this place. That’s part of the reason why I searched all the places to discover resources. Only in that way can I promote my cultivation level and protect my homeland.”

Wang Bugui cried out at the top of his lungs. He then puked up blood because of his anger and the pressure on him.

But Qin Shihuang seemed to have been moved by him. The emperor’s fury and Imperatorial Power were going away. Pure spiritual strength between heaven and earth started to gather and nourish those people.

“That is…”

Everyone could feel the spiritual strength healing their wounds. Even Wang Bugui’s severe injuries had been cured, but he still looked exhausted.

“I can spare your life for the sake of that reason, but you should leave this place as soon as you’re cured, or I will forget what you’ve said and kill you all.”

Those words from Qin Shihuang made other people shake in fear because they knew from the history books that Qin Shihuang was known for having a hot temper.

“Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die.”

He invented that quote, and he surely represented it.

Wang Bugui thought for a moment and said, “I plead for you to instruct us in cultivation.”

“What?!” asked Qin Shihuang. He sounded quite surprised. He poured his fury on Wang Bugui.

“Ahh!”

Wang Bugui gritted his teeth. Blood oozed out of his mouth, and he was managing to support himself so that he wouldn’t fall.

“I spared your life because you are protecting Hua Xia. How dare you be so greedy!” scolded Qin Shihuang.

Wang Bugui raised his head and explained, “The devils are going wild in the West, and they are even devils who are as powerful as immortals. They were training their armies and preparing for something.

“They are destroying the Western world and are plotting against the East. Not long ago, they sent a devil at the Sage Level to scout our homeland. We found him and killed him.

“But they don’t want to give up. They will definitely come for the East after they take charge of the Western world. Invading Hua Xia is part of their plan! If that day comes, our homeland would be totally devastated. That’s why I am pleading for your instruction.

“We need your instructions so that we can make achievements faster and kill all the intruding devils. Otherwise, we will have no way to survive the devil troops led by that immortal devil.”

Those words from Wang Bugui really inspired the other people. Even Qin Shihuang dropped his guard and hostility. He stopped exerting the pressure and fell into silence.

“Boom!”

After the booming sound, the eight dragons boosted their circling and then they became one. The land under Juyongguan radiated golden light, casting it over heaven.

“Growl!”

The unmatched Dragon Qi shook heaven and earth. It brought out a drastic storm that swept Juyongguan. The Dragon Qi and golden light went away later, leaving a golden cloud floating in the sky.

The cloud gave out formidable pressure and turned into the shape of a human figure. He was in a black rode embroidered with dragons. On his head, there was a crown, under which there was a handsome and stern face.

“Shoosh!”

Other golden rays turned into eight smaller golden dragons. Along with the Dragon Qi around him, there were nine dragons orbiting him in total.

Other people were too shocked to say anything because they had seen the legendary emperor of all time!

“That… is that the greatest emperor, Qin Shihuang, named Ying Zheng?”

Some of these people still couldn’t believe that they had seen the emperor show up again. He was so majestic-looking that nobody else dared to speak in front of him.

“What’s your name?” asked Ying Zheng, pointing his finger at Wang Bugui.

There seemed to be some special power in his words. They could hear him commanding, and they felt that they had to obey him.

But Wang Bugui was the only person that felt he didn’t have to. He was acting on his own will. He cupped his hands and said, “My name is Wang Bugui. It’s my pleasure to meet the greatest emperor!”

Ying Zheng was surprised to see how the young man behaved. The young man wasn’t submitting himself to the greater power. His words and tone were strong proof that he had stopped being afraid.

“I’m surprised. It seems that my Imperatorial Power carries little weight on you now. That was impossible during the days when I was alive.” Ying Zheng was talking to himself.

“Someday in the future, I’ll be the Human Emperor, so I wouldn’t submit myself to your power. You’re the greatest emperor of all time, and all I have for you is respect.”

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Bugui, asking in surprise, “Palace of the Human Emperors? No wonder I can feel some imperatorial aura in you. You’ve been acknowledged by the Imperial Clan. That’s why you can resist my Imperatorial Power.”

When he looked at the others, he became very curious and exclaimed, “A remote ancient soul and two spirits of martyrs. It seems that you are both the inheritor of Xiang Yu’s power. That’s interesting.”

Qin Shihuang spoke as he looked at Lyu Bu and Lyu Hao. But soon after, he shook his head and sighed. “What a pity that you two are no match for him. Or you’d be invincible with the Overpowering Halberd skill.”

He paused for a second. Then he seemed to have realized something and added, “Wang Bugui, you’ve created a new way that no heir of the Imperial Clan had ever tried. I’m looking forward to seeing how powerful you’ll become.”

Wang Bugui was the only one that didn’t look surprised by those words. Qin Shihuang was really as powerful as was told in the legend. He could see through people’s inheritance in one glance.

“He’s indeed the greatest emperor of all time!” Ning Zhe, who had been keeping silent, couldn’t help exclaiming.

Ying Zheng craned over to see more people in the back. Then he said, “Well? The reincarnation of some immortal Buddha? Or should I call you a devilish Buddha? You seem to have something to do with the Taoism in the remote ancient.

“A swordsman, with the faint aura of Dugu Baishi. It’s faint but distinguishable. Are you from Penglai, the legendary fairy island?

“Another inheritor of the spirit of a martyr? Gui Guzi’s heir? I see. That’s why you do Simultaneous Training with that woman. You want to learn the two different cultivation methods.

“Hahaha… Your generation is a huge surprise to me!”

He named all these people’s inheritance nonstop. He had even seen Ning Zhe’s last life and his relationship with Leng Yueyan back then.

Qin Shihuang was giving everybody goosebumps again and again. The man’s power was beyond those young men’s imagination.

He was able to see through anyone he wanted. Nobody could hide anything from him. He didn’t even need to calculate. He was doing all these things so casually.

They also found that Ying Zheng could stop their spiritual strength from running by looking at them. The Tao principle in the area had been slowed down and the will of Taoism was bending to Ying Zheng.

Nobody knew exactly how powerful the man was. He showed up and had conquered the Taoism in this place.

His power was beyond their imagination. They could only pay their respect to him by calling him “the greatest emperor of all time”.
