Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

69: The villainous boss is an ant.At this moment, Elder Jin stepped forward and performed a salute to Qin Bingyao: ”Greetings, Empress of Great Qin.”

In the entire Wine God Temple, only the Temple Master could suppress Qin Bingyao, so he dared not be negligent.

Moreover, Lu Chen, who was beside Qin Bingyao, was an existence capable of killing a Great Emperor Fifth Level.

Even if he was not a Heavenly Emperor, he was an existence second only to a Heavenly Emperor.

However, he always felt that Lu Chen was not quite right; he gave off the feeling of a Mortal. But the matter of Lu Chen killing five Great Emperors had caused such an uproar, even more sensational than the beastly things Gu Yun had done, which made him unable to gauge Lu Chen’s true depth.

”Elder Jin, there is no need for such formalities.” Qin Bingyao’s expression was calm, and her tone had no fluctuations.

Elder Jin then turned to Lu Chen and bowed: ”Greetings, Senior.”

Lu Chen clasped his hands behind his back, putting on an appearance he considered to be that of an expert, and nodded.

Elder Jin felt not the slightest dissatisfaction; if Lu Chen could truly kill Great Emperors, offending him would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

”Please, the two of you.” Elder Jin stepped to the side and raised his hand to lead the way.

Qin Bingyao immediately unleashed a strand of spiritual power, enveloping Lu Chen to help him tread through the air.

Seeing this, Elder Jin and the people around them all revealed expressions of confusion.

Just as Qin Bingyao was about to explain, Lu Chen spoke first: ”This Emperor has recently been comprehending nature and has placed a Seal on my own cultivation, which is why it is like this.”

Elder Jin immediately showed an expression of realization: ”So that is how it is. Senior is truly a role model for us all, never forgetting to Cultivate for even a moment. No wonder you possess such strength; this Junior admires you.”

The people around them also nodded repeatedly, their flattery ringing out loudly.

Lu Chen kept a straight face, while inwardly he quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he sensed a different gaze and turned his head to look.

That person was wearing a white robe and a blood-colored crown; it was precisely Cao Bu.

Cao Bu smiled at him, which counted as a greeting.

As the saying goes, when fellow countrymen meet, they shoot each other in the back; he would not be polite.

Lu Chen returned the smile, inwardly becoming vigilant. He always felt that this person was not simple.

”The two of you, please follow me.” Elder Jin led everyone toward the Wine God Temple below.

Qin Bingyao and Lu Chen followed in front, while Cao Bu, Leng Yue, and the others followed behind.

”Bing Yao, do you know that man?” Lu Chen asked.

Qin Bingyao looked in the direction he was gazing, her eyes landing on Cao Bu. After thinking for a moment, she said, ”It should be Gu Qingtian’s Adopted Son, Cao Bu.”

When Gu Qingtian achieved Ascension, she had seen Cao Bu in the Gu Clan camp. After ruling out others, she was certain it was him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen’s expression was one of shock.

So this person was the villainous big boss he needed to kill.

He secretly sized up Cao Bu, very much wanting to rush up and question him: ”Why aren’t you a Great Emperor?!” ”Why aren’t you a Great Emperor?!!” ”Why aren’t you a Great Emperor?!!!”

Before long, the group entered the Wine God Temple.

Hundreds of people had already gathered inside the hall. Aside from Cao Bu and Lu Chen, the cultivation of everyone else was at least that of a World Venerable.

Seeing Leng Yue and Qin Bingyao, people from various major forces stepped forward to greet them one after another.

One had the background of an Immortal, and the other had a ”Heavenly Emperor” holding down the fort.

Especially after learning that Lu Chen was that ”Heavenly Emperor,” even if they harbored doubts, they all crowded around to offer flattery.

Cao Bu stood not far away, calm on the surface, but inwardly calculating how to deal with Lu Chen.

One mountain cannot hold two tigers; in the end, only one of him or Lu Chen could remain.

As time passed, more people poured into the main hall.

It was not until the first quarter of the Xu hour that the Emperor-level forces and Immortal Emperor-level forces of the Spirit Realm had all arrived.

”Everyone!” A deep, resonant voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

Everyone stopped their discussions and looked toward the source of the sound, only to see Elder Jin walking out accompanied by a man in ink-colored brocade robes.

The other party’s hair and beard were half-white, yet he did not appear old. His facial contours were rugged, his nose bridge was high, and he carried a bronze wine gourd in his hand. His steps were light and slow, and his entire being was wrapped in an air of drunkenness. Even without speaking, he made people feel a sense of approachability and free-spiritedness.

”Greetings, Wine Emperor!” Many experts bowed in unison.

Wine Emperor scanned the room and raised his hand to press down lightly: ”Everyone, sit down and speak.”

By the time his voice fell, he was already seated in the main seat.

The various experts sat down one after another. Cao Bu followed Leng Yue and sat in the middle of the left side.

Wine Emperor’s gaze specifically swept over Cao Bu and Lu Chen.

The lowest cultivation in the hall was that of a World Venerable; one of these two was at the Heavenly Bridge Realm First Level, and the other had no cultivation at all. It would be hard not to notice them.

He sent a voice transmission to ask Elder Jin, and after receiving the reply, a trace of realization flashed in his eyes.

”Everyone, this Emperor will not waste words; let us begin the drawing of lots.” Wine Emperor gave Elder Jin a look.

Elder Jin stood up, took a drawing box out of his storage ring, scanned the room, and said in a loud voice: ”Everyone, please follow the order in which you joined the Alliance, and come forward in pairs to draw for the qualification to host the Heavenly Pride Battle.”

As soon as his voice fell, two Quasi-Emperors from the back stood up and walked toward Elder Jin.

Leng Yue explained to Cao Bu: ”Bu’er, don’t look down on them because their positions are at the back; these two are people from the forces where the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and Ye Heavenly Emperor are located.”

Cao Bu nodded: ”Adoptive Mother, so are we the last to draw?”

”Correct, the Gu Clan is newly risen and joined the Alliance last.” Leng Yue replied.

Cao Bu looked in the direction of Lu Chen: ”When did the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty join?”

Leng Yue glanced at Qin Bingyao in the very front row: ”Just before us.”

Cao Bu remembered the Child of Luck experience card and immediately said: ”Adoptive Mother, let me go draw the lot later.”
