Chapter 227: Million Black Dragon Army
The Destiny Carriage advanced swiftly with the escort of the Dragonrise Legion, unimpeded by soldiers’ families, the legion’s progress naturally quickened considerably.
Qin Jun meditated on a recently constructed comfortable bed, with a sunshade made of jade above his head, while Daji and others sat on their own chairs. The roof of the Destiny Carriage, which had been modified according to Qin Jun’s suggestions, was equivalent to a loft and had become an extravagant vehicle for home travel; had it been on Earth, it would certainly have been a sensational hit.
The capital of Canglan Kingdom receded further and further behind the army.
Qin Jun opened his eyes, looking at the mountains ahead, his heart filled with emotion. He had pressed Zhu Yanqing the day before for a long time about her origins, but she stubbornly refused to talk about her background, only revealing that her hometown was very far from Wuqi Kingdom — so far that it was beyond the reach of ordinary people in their lifetime.
This had frustrated him all night; unsatisfied curiosity was like being scratched in the heart by a cat.
Regardless of where Zhu Yanqing came from, Qin Jun wasn’t worried. The saying went, ’When soldiers come, block them with generals; when water comes, counter it with earth.’ Perhaps if her people saw how handsome he was, they might not make things difficult for him?
As Qin Jun was lost in his thoughts, Evening Star approached and whispered, "Your Highness, Bai Menghu and his disciples have quietly followed the legion. Should we stop them?"
Although Bai Menghu bore the divine beast bloodline, no one had been able to activate it, and the same was true for his disciples. Their bloodlines were too thin, or even nonexistent, rendering them practically useless; the strongest among them, Bai Menghu, was only at the ninth level of the Golden Elixir Realm and wasn’t of much use, so Qin Jun had left them in the Canglan Kingdom capital.
"Let it be, just let them follow," Qin Jun said with a shake of his head and a smile. Bai Menghu and the others were clearly eager to serve the legion, and he certainly wouldn’t refuse them.
It was better than maintaining a group of good-for-nothings, after all!
"It seems I’ll need to visit the Netherworld Holy Sect at some point."
