Chapter 736: Forming an Alliance
Ascending the city wall, Xiang Yu approached Qin Jun with a clasped fist and a smile, "I am Xiang Yu, especially here to pledge my allegiance to Your Majesty!"
He neither knelt down nor was his tone serious; in fact, it was rather casual, causing Wen Zhong, Yang Ren, Zhenwu Emperor, Six-Eared Macaque, and Li Si to frown. However, they refrained from commenting. First, because Xiang Yu had broken through to become a Daluo-level immortal, making him too formidable to reprimand, and secondly, the situation was urgent—they had no time for such concerns.
Qin Jun didn’t seem to mind Xiang Yu’s informality and chuckled, "In the future, you will be one of King Yan Palace’s own. For today’s battle, I’ll count it as a merit for you."
The demon soldiers on the city wall were curious about how Qin Jun’s appearance and even his aura had changed. If it wasn’t for the unaltered dragon robe, they might have surrounded him.
Xiang Yu’s lips curled as he gazed toward the phantom silhouette of the Demon Emperor on the horizon, his expression growing solemn, "What kind of monstrosity is that fellow, after all?"
"The Demon Emperor, the sovereign who unifies the Demon Clan under heaven," Qin Jun replied softly.
His eyes fixed on Donghuang Taiyi, wondering what exactly this fellow was planning. He also felt a tinge of annoyance that the Demon King of Bull had not notified him beforehand.
"Demon Emperor, why have you led your troops to King Yan City?"
Qin Jun asked with a mask of a thousand faces, unconcerned even if Donghuang Taiyi remembered his appearance, as long as he could maintain his dual identity.
Man Hui returned to the midst of the demon army, turning back with a face full of unwillingness and resentment, not towards Qin Jun, but Xiang Yu.
In the midst of battle, Xiang Yu had managed to break through to the Daluo level, leaving Man Hui with a disgust as if he’d eaten something foul.
