Chapter 1167: The War Begins
Not long after, Di Jun entered through the grand gates of the Saint Emperor Palace.
His heart was filled with confusion; he didn’t know why Qin Jun had summoned him alone, especially after having just met with Immortal Zhenyuan and Yunxiao.
Could there have been some change in circumstances?
Di Jun felt unsettled but kept his expression as usual, calm and unruffled. He approached the high platform, knelt halfway, and cupped his hands as he asked, "May I know why Your Majesty has summoned me here?"
It appeared that only the two of them were in the Saint Emperor Palace, but Di Jun could sense several faint presences hidden in the shadows, none of them weak.
"Could those be the hidden troops trained by Your Majesty?"
Di Jun was secretly curious. It was said that Qin Jun had conscripted a group of beings above the realm of entering the sage realm to form the Emperor’s secret guard, consisting of very few members who were mostly hidden, responsible for transmitting messages, assassinations, and protecting Qin Jun.
The specific details about the Emperor’s secret guard were unknown to anyone; people only knew it existed.
Qin Jun’s eyes twinkled with a mysterious light as he smiled and said, "Di Jun, do you wish to become stronger?"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun’s eyes widened, and his breathing grew rapid.
Seeing Fuxi ascending to sainthood had filled his heart with envy. Now, hearing that Qin Jun was willing to help him become stronger, how could he not be tempted?
