Chapter 1267 Oath

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The entire Nine Continents City was decorated with lights and cheers. Even at night, the streets were filled with people. It was as lively as the New Year, because a great piece of good news had already spread throughout the entire city.

His Majesty the World King, Chu Jun, had returned, and he had annihilated all those terrifying arachnids with every move he made. Marshal Tao had already ordered the lifting of the ban, and the entire city had held a banquet to celebrate the return of His Majesty the World King.

Although Chu Jun hadn't appeared in decades, his prestige hadn't diminished in the slightest. Especially now that he had returned with the might of annihilating hundreds of thousands of arachnids and saving Nine Continents City from danger, his prestige in the hearts of the cultivators in the city instantly rose to the peak. At this moment, everyone in the city was talking about the name "Chu Jun". Everywhere they went, they heard people talking about Chu Jun's deeds with interest. There were also people who seriously described how Chu Jun had annihilated hundreds of thousands of arachnids on his own.

Chu Jun entered the City Lord's Mansion surrounded by the crowd. Xiao Yuyi rushed out from within and threw a burst of fragrant wind into Chu Jun's embrace.

Chu Jun hugged her full and delicate body that was slightly trembling from excitement and lightly kissed her on the forehead. He said softly, "Yu Yi!"

Xiao Yuyi's face was red, but her heart was filled with joy. Suddenly, she shook and gently pushed Chu Jun away, staring blankly at Zhao Yu beside her.

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Master!"

Xiao Yuyi's face turned pale. Chu Jun thought to himself that it was bad. Just as he was worried, Zhao Yu took Xiao Yuyi's hand and said gently, "Big sister Yuyi, it was the last time I called you master. From now on, we will be sisters."

Xiao Yuyi's pretty face instantly turned from white to red, her cheeks burning like fire. She ate and said, "Yu … Yu'er, it's really you!"

Zhao Yu smiled and nodded, "Let's go in and have a good talk!" After saying that, she pulled Xiao Yuyi in intimately.

Chu Jun couldn't help but feel relieved. The girls also heaved a sigh of relief. Only Ding Qing was a little unhappy. She thought to herself, "How should I explain my relationship with Brother Jun to Ding Ding?"

"Auntie, why are you dumbfounded? They're all in!" Ding Ding asked curiously.

Ding Qing instantly regained her senses. A trace of panic flashed through her eyes and she said, "Oh … then let's go in as well!" With that, he walked in.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you? You're absent-minded!" Ding Dingqi said.

Ding Qing rubbed her face guiltily and said, "Is that so?"

Ding Ding nodded. Ding Qing chuckled and said, "Perhaps I'm tired from traveling."

Ding Ding gave a suspicious oh, then pulled Ding Qing's hand and walked in together.

"Linglong, let me discuss something with you." Ding Qing said weakly.

Ding Ding stopped and looked at Ding Qing doubtfully. "Auntie, did I hear wrongly? You actually called me Linglong and wanted to discuss things with me. The sun has risen from the west. Are you really alright?"

Ding Qing blushed and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Little bastard, isn't your butt itchy?"

Ding Ding smiled and said, "This is a normal aunt. Tell me, what is it?"

Ding Qing opened her mouth, but in the end, she still couldn't say anything. She said angrily, "That brat has taken advantage of it. He's so happy. Why do you want me to explain to Ding Ding? There's no reason for that. Forget it, let him explain himself."

Ding Dingba blinked his eyes a few times. Seeing that Ding Qing was still as if she wanted to say something, the doubts in his heart grew even more intense. With Auntie's temperament, what could make it difficult for her to say?

"Auntie, what exactly are you trying to say?" Ding Ding frowned.

"That … I just want to ask, what happened to your parents?" Ding Qing said.

"They're all fine, but they're not in Nine Continents City. I'll bring you to see them in two days!"

"Oh, that's great. Let's go in!"

Ding Ding grunted. He turned around suspiciously and continued walking inside. Ding Qing looked at Ding Ding's back and gritted her teeth. She secretly said, "You have to solve your own problems yourself. You have to face them yourself. You have to risk it!"

"Ding Ding, don't call me aunt in the future!" Ding Qing said.

Ding Ding turned around and didn't believe his ears. "Auntie, what did you just say? Say it again."

Ding Qing was someone who dared to love and hate, so she repeated, "Don't call me aunt in the future!"

"Why?" Ding Ding asked in confusion.

Ding Qing covered her face with both hands and said weakly, "I... I slept with your man!"

Ding Ding's mouth immediately opened into an "O" shape. Ding Qing did not hear a response. She thought that Ding Ding did not hear it clearly again and repeated in a loud voice, "I slept with your man. Your man slept with me. Anyway … it's all the same. Don't call me aunt in the future."

Still no response!

Ding Qing let go of her hand that was covering her face nervously. She happened to see Ding Ding turn around and leave expressionlessly.

Ding Qing's heart instantly sank to the bottom. Back then, Ding Ding had mentioned that she would marry a local egg. It seemed that she was only young back then. Now that she had grown up, her thoughts were naturally different. It seemed that she was unhappy.

"Ding Ding!" Ding Qing shouted twice. Ding Ding only went in without even turning his head.

Ding Qing bit her cherry lips and followed behind in a daze.

In the main hall, Chu Jun was being surrounded by everyone and gathered in the middle.

Ding Ding stood to the side with a tense face and silently stared at Chu Jun, who was surrounded by the crowd. Ding Qing then walked in, her face slightly pale and her gaze turned to Chu Jun for help.

Chu Jun had long noticed that Ding Qing and Ding Ding were lagging behind. Ding Qing probably wanted to show her cards to Ding Ding, so Chu Jun was also a little uneasy. Seeing the two women's expressions when they entered, he couldn't help but shout in his heart, but he wasn't worried. Ding Ding was different from Yu Yi. With this girl's careless personality, as long as he used some methods later, he should be able to coax her easily.

Chu Junhuan scanned his surroundings and his heart sank. Because there were many people missing, first of all, Fragrant Monarch was not here, Eldest Senior Brother Shangguan Yu was not here, and Master Qu Zhengfeng, Ling Zijian, and the others were not there.

The girls clearly understood the meaning behind Chu Jun's gaze. The originally lively atmosphere instantly fell, and everyone silently lowered their heads.

Ning Zhongtian sighed softly and said, "Jun'er, this heaven and earth catastrophe has suddenly occurred. Many people have perished, including Junior Brother Qu, Junior Brother Ling, and Yu'er. Only a few dozen people in the entire Heavenly Phoenix Sect are still alive."

Chu Jun's entire body trembled, and his face instantly turned pale. Although he had expected it, when he personally confirmed it, it was still difficult to accept this cruel fact.

"Brother Jun, don't be sad!" Ning Yun blinked.

Chu Jun slightly shook his body and stood up. He said softly, "Where are Master and Fragrant Lord buried? Take me to worship!"

Zhao Yu and Huang Bing hurriedly supported Chu Jun to the left and right. Xiao Yuyi hurriedly said, "Fragrant Monarch, she did not perish!"

Chu Jun's face instantly turned from white to red. He pressed down on Xiao Yuyi's shoulder and excitedly said, "Xiangjun, she is not dead? Where is she?"

"Sister Xiangjun went to Lu Zhou for reinforcements. Xiao Bao went with her!" Tao Fei Fei said softly.

Chu Jun instantly felt relieved. His heart seemed to have floated up from the ice cave. He frowned and asked, "Where is Lu Zhou?"

Ning Yun hurriedly explained, "Ever since the catastrophe, the terrain of the human realm has completely changed. The Nine Continents Continent no longer exists. Right now, there are only four continents. They are the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, the Western Oxhe Continent, the Southern Support Tribe Continent, and the Northern Gulu Continent. This continent is the Eastern Victory Divine Continent."

Chu Jun couldn't help but ask, "So that's the case. Who are Fragrant Lord and Little Treasure going to Lu Zhou to rescue?"

Xiao Yuyi said angrily, "Who else is there? That guy Li Yifu!"

Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "How many forces are there in the Mortal Realm now?"

Tao Fei Fei replied, "After the catastrophe, the entire human realm was sparsely populated. All industries were withered, and the population was less than one tenth of the original. The Eastern Victory Divine Continent stretched for nearly two million kilometers, with a total population of less than one million. The biggest force is us." The population of Lu Zhou was even smaller, about 600,000 to 700,000. Li Yifu occupied that place. Bu Zhou was occupied by Wan Wujiang. As for the River Continent, it was still an unowned land. There were only a few scattered factions. "

Chu Jun, Ding Qing, and the others couldn't help but be shocked. Back then, the population of the human realm was more than a billion. Now, it was only a few million in total. How many lives had been taken from this vast arena?

"Although Li Yifu still respects the World King on the surface, in reality, he is acting against the will of others. Eighty-ninth out of ten of Sister Xiangjun's visits this time won't result in anything. As for Wan Wujiang, he simply ignores us." Tao Fei Fei said coldly.

Chu Jun said in a deep voice, "How long has Xiangjun been gone?"

"It's been two days!" Ning Yun said.

Chu Jun couldn't help but frown and say, "It's only been two days, and I shouldn't have gone far. I'll go and chase her back now."

Xiao Yuyi hurriedly pressed down on him and said, "There is a teleportation array. She should have arrived early. Perhaps she will return soon. Although Wan Wujiang and Li Yifu do not listen to orders, they do not dare to provoke us. Xiangjun will not be in danger."

Chu Jun couldn't help but feel relieved. At the same time, he asked curiously, "Is there a teleportation array between continents?"

Xiao Yuyi gave him a reproachful look and said, "It has been decades since you left. What's so strange about rebuilding the teleportation array here?"

Chu Jun looked at the girls apologetically and said, "What happened in the past few decades is a long story. I'll go pay my respects to Master and the others first, then bring Fragrant Monarch over, and then I'll explain it to you in detail."

At this moment, Chu Jun, led by everyone, arrived at the place where Qu Zhengfeng and the others were buried.

A cemetery was specially opened up in Nine Continents City. Qu Zhengfeng, Ling Zijian, Shangguan Yu, Huang Qi, the big club … and a large number of people were buried here.

Looking at the rows of names, the once vivid faces flowed through his mind like movies. Chu Jun instantly burst into tears as he solemnly knelt in front of Qu Zhengfeng's tomb. He kowtowed three times and loudly said, "Master, Martial Uncle, Senior Brothers, I, Chu Jun, solemnly swear that I will never let the Nine Cauldrons Calamity happen again." "If you violate this oath, five thunderbolts will overwhelm you, destroying both your body and spirit!"

The girls couldn't help but turn pale as they covered their mouths and exclaimed softly, their eyes filled with anxiety. Zhao Yu and Huang Bing were extremely calm, their eyes glittering as they looked at the man kneeling on the ground. Apart from pride, there was not the slightest bit of worry on their faces. There was nothing this man had said that could not be done.
