The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 140 I Will Only Kill One Person

Chu Xun rarely kept his eyes wide open. He was very dissatisfied with the statement of the top official.

“When did I say I was going to kill the whole family?” Chu Xun asked.

According to the words of the top official, he was like a freak killer.

The top official’s mouth twitched and he looked sideways at him, saying, “Don’t you know what the others call you?”

Chu Xun raised his eyebrows and said, “What?”

“They all say that you are the devil, the cruel man,” said the top official.

Chu Xun was stunned for a while, then he fell silent. Then he raised his head and said indifferently,

“I like it! I just want to scare the people in this world by merciless slaughter, so that no one would dare to hurt my friends, my family and I.”

Hearing that, the top official’s eyes nearly popped out. Then he thought of the Liu Family again and asked, “Why on earth do you want to deal with the Liu Family? Apart from Xiaobai, I remember that the others did not offend you.”

Chu Xun gave Liu Xiaobai, who was too scared to speak, a scathing look, and thought for a long time. Then he spoke coldly,

“Just because of one false word, the Liu Family killed my whole family.”

The top official had an expression of surprise. He was not pretending. He felt regretful now. He should have asked someone to investigate Chu Xun thoroughly. Because of Chu Xun’s identity, he did not dare to have him investigated, for fear of causing any unnecessary trouble.

He turned to look at Liu Xiaobai. After a long time, he looked back at Chu Xun. He had got the answer from Liu Xiaobai’s reaction.

“The Liu Family’s status is too special.” The top official frowned and said. The Liu Family was different from those forces of Martial Tao. If Chu Xun destroyed the Liu Family, it would definitely cause an international sensation. At that time, he and Chu Xun would become enemies, which he did not want to happen.

Chu Xun looked at him and said seriously, “I will kill only one person!”

After that, Chu Xun left. Before he left, he said that he could heal the old man.

The old man was too old and he was about to die. But Chu Xun’s words made him alert. Who was willing to die if he could live?

...

The manor of the Liu Family had been given to them by the first chairman of the new country. At the door, there was a plaque. Because it had existed for a long time, some of the red paint had peeled off. There were four gilded characters on the plaque, Pillar of the Country, which had been written by the first chairman himself.

The manor was in a shabby state and the characters were mottled, but all of these showed the brilliant past and present of the Liu Family.

“Who are you looking for?”

The inquiry came from a bodyguard of the Liu Family, who had an arrogant tone and a haughty manner, all of which made Chu Xun unhappy.

Chu Xun stepped forward and ignored the bodyguard’s inquiry.

“Are you deaf or blind? Can’t you hear me?” the bodyguard said, aggressively.

Unfortunately, it was then he learned what real arrogance was.

Chu Xun only waved his one hand, then he flew away as he coughed up blood, and felt as if he had been hit by a train. He flew very high and far, and then disappeared.

“Who dares to act so recklessly in the Liu House?”

There were many bodyguards in the Liu Family, who had been carefully chosen. Of course, they also worked with due diligence. At this moment, they rushed toward Chu Xun, while shouting.

But when Chu Xun smashed the three-meter-wide and five-meter-high red gate of the Liu Family to pieces, they immediately retreated while shouting, twice as fast as when they rushed over. It turned out that people could walk backward faster than they walked forward.

At the foot was a stone path. It was the end of autumn now, so it was quite cold. The breeze blew, and the leaves on the tree fell in the wind. Chu Xun reached for a piece of leaf and played with it.

He walked very slowly into the courtyard, as if he was taking a stroll. And every time he took a step forward, the bodyguards would take two steps backward.

They were bodyguards, but not dare-to-die corps. No one felt that their body was stronger than the red gate. Besides, so many people were retreating. So it was not disgraceful and they would not laugh at each other.

Someone had already run in to report.

...

Liu Baifeng, the current householder of the Liu Family, was 50 years old. But he did not have white hair, nor were there any wrinkles on his fair face. It seemed that God favored him very much, and had bestowed on him all the good things.

At this time, the main hall of the Liu Family was very lively.

At the moment, somebody was sitting in the place which belonged to Liu Baifeng, the householder of the Liu Family. He looked to be about 50 years old, too. He wore a Taoist robe, had a beard, and carried a horsetail whisk in his hands, looking arrogant and proud. He was Shi Jin, and was from the Heaven Tao Sect.

Beside Shi Jin, there were several people with strong cultivation, who were about the same age as Shi Jin. They all had haughty looks.

“Presbyter Shi, this is my thanks. Please accept it.” Liu Baifeng came forward and handed him a check.

Shi Jin glanced at the number on the check. Then he waved his horsetail whisk and took the check quickly.

Of course, Liu Baifeng did not forget the other people with Shi Jin. Anyway, the Liu Family was not short of money.

“Presbyter Shi, I’ll entrust Xiangru to you. Please take good care of him in the future. Thanks a lot.” Seeing Shi Jin accepting the check, Liu Baifeng said this with a smile.

“It’s a pleasure, Householder Liu. Xiangru is outstanding and is a talent, who appears once in a blue moon. Since he has been accepted by the First Presbyter of Heaven Tao Sect as his last disciple, he will definitely have a bright future,” said Shi Jin with a smile.

This time, he was telling the truth. The First Presbyter of Heaven Tao Sect had an extremely high cultivation. Even if it was a pig, it would become an immortal pig after being taught by the First Presbyter, let alone that Liu Xiangru was such a talent.

There were a large number of family members in the whole Liu Family. And there were more than 50 people whose surname was Liu in the hall now. Although everyone had different ideas, at least at this time, they behaved flawlessly. They all came forward to congratulate Liu Xiangru for being accepted by the First Presbyter of Heaven Tao Sect.

Clap!

A bodyguard rushed in. But because he ran too fast, he tripped at the threshold and fell in directly, scaring everyone.

Liu Baifeng was about to yell at him, but the bodyguard was faster than him. He got up and said hurriedly, “Someone has broken in.”

After the bodyguard finished speaking, the hall was quiet for three seconds. Then all hell broke loose! They were not afraid, but excited.

Since the establishment of the Liu Family in the early days of the founding of the country, no one had ever dared to disrespect the Liu Family. They were very curious and wondered who the person was, who was not afraid of death and dared to make trouble here.

They all started to ask questions and some young people were so restless that they ran out directly. They were all interested in it.

“Damn it, what’s the use of hiring you? Did you just watch him break in, with so many of you out there?” Liu Baifeng shouted angrily.

The bodyguard was frightened and said with a pitiful look, “That man smashed the red gate with one blow. We were no match for him.”

Liu Baifeng was stupefied and was about to speak.

But Shi Jin said first, “Don’t be angry, Householder Liu. He should be a member of the Martial Tao. It’s understandable that your bodyguards are no match for him.”

The bodyguard was immediately grateful to Shi Jin. “Look, not only does he have the temperament of an immortal, but he is also so sensible. What a good man.”

Liu Baifeng was puzzled. He naturally knew that people of the Martial Tao were strong, but he did not think that he had ever offended anyone.

“Lin Zhong, go and have a look.” Shi Jin ordered a man, who had a brutal look.

The man stood up, cupped his fists toward Shi Jin, turned and strode out of the hall, without saying anything.

“Don’t worry, Householder Liu. Xiangru is the disciple of the Heaven Tao Sect, so the business of the Liu Family is our business,” said Shi Jin.

“Thank you very much, Presbyter Shi.” As the householder of the Liu Family, Liu Baifeng was naturally not a stupid person. He thanked Shi Jin, but sneered in his mind. “Huh! Without money, will you still help us?”

Shi Jin took on everything, which made Liu Baifeng very proud. Shi Jin was from the Martial Tao, but so what? He was also greedy. Money makes the world go round.

Shi Jin thought he was superior to others, but in fact, he had become Liu Baifeng’s hatchet man. This was the difference between different values.

At this time, Liu Baifeng suddenly jumped up. He saw that all the bodyguards in his family were retreating toward them. There were so many people that his view was blocked. Only then did he realize that there were so many bodyguards in his family.

They retreated, because someone was approaching. Thinking of that, Liu Baifeng’s face darkened. There was only one person on the other side and he actually managed to scare so many bodyguards and made them retreat.

He wanted to see who the man was, but his view was blocked by the bodyguards, and he could not see anything.

Shi Jin, as well as people beside him, had contemptuous looks on their faces. In their eyes, these bodyguards were just a group of completely useless men.

“Piss off!” Liu Baifeng was furious. Even if people in the secular world were no match for those in the Martial Tao, they should not be so weak and cowardly. As the saying goes, the few are no match for the many. Those from the Martial Tao were also people, not gods. There were hundreds of strong bodyguards, how could they not stop the other side?

Whoosh!

Hearing that, the crowd really separated into two groups quickly and made way for him, like the tide retreating at both ends.

Liu Baifeng was proud of himself. It seemed that his prestige was still very high in the family. At his command, hundreds of people moved.

But then the pride on his face turned into shock.

He saw a figure flying toward them like a torn pocket, and then fell in front of them, cracking the white and clean floor.

“Lin Zhong!” Shi Jin jumped up, seeming to have been hit by electricity, and shouted in shock.

The others were also stunned and dumbstruck.

Although Lin Zhong was the weakest among them, he was also a grandmaster of First Grade. Now he looked so pitiful. There was an obvious footprint on his face. Half of his face had caved in, his mouth and eyes were distorted, half of his teeth had been kicked out, and his mouth was full of blood. All of these made it hard for them to accept.

Whoola!

The crowd separated again to make way.

A white figure came in slowly. His eyes were narrowed slightly and he twirled a yellow leaf around his fingertips. He looked very relaxed, just like he was walking around his own garden. The only fly in the ointment was that his look was too indifferent.

As Chu Xun walked in, his eyes fell on Shi Jin, then moved away, and finally stopped at Liu Baifeng.

Shi Jin frowned. The man was too young, just like a new graduate. He looked behind Chu Xun and saw no one else. He was shocked in his heart. “Did this young man hurt Lin Zhong? It’s incredible. If one wants to defeat Lin Zhong, he or she needs to be at the same cultivation as a grandmaster of Second Grade at least. It’s really rare to see such a young grandmaster of Second Grade, and no one can train one, except for those amazing forces.”

“My friend, I am Shi Jin, the presbyter of Heaven Tao Sect.” Shi Jin was thoughtful and clever. He directly said that he came from the Heaven Tao Sect to frighten the other party.

But Chu Xun did not even look at him. He said directly to Liu Baifeng, “Are you Liu Baifeng? I’m here to pick up my parents.”

Shi Jin’s face was gloomy and his eyes gleamed with coldness. He was the presbyter of Heaven Tao Sect, and no one dared to ignore him.

But Liu Baifeng’s expression suddenly changed and his eyes blinked rapidly. Both fierceness and fear were concealed in his eyes.

“Young man, you’re in the wrong place. I don’t know you. Why would your parents be here?” Liu Baifeng smiled unnaturally and said.

The corners of Chu Xun’s mouth lifted and he said with sarcasm on his face, “You know me, don’t you?”

Before Liu Baifeng could speak, Chu Xun continued, “Don’t pretend anymore. I just want to take back my parents, and take back Liu Xiangru’s head. Then we will live in peace with each other. I have been kind enough. Don’t force me to kill you all.”
