Chapter 287 - The Greatest Emperor of All Time (1/2)

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.
