The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 471 Qilin Fruit!

Wu Keyin and the other three men were made into eternal fire, suffering day and night to taste the pain of burning.

As long as Chu Xun was alive and the magic formation remained unbroken, the eternal fire would never die.

They could neither move nor speak. The pain they were enduring could not be told to anyone else, so they could only endure it.

However, everyone knew that this kind of pain was no less than being skinned alive.

Chu Xun and others left.

There were many people around the square. They had been around for a long time, but they dared not approach because of the power of Chu Xun.

After a while, the surrounding square was crowded with people. The sound of gasps became loud.

Everyone was guessing, how did these four had offended Chu the Devil and suffered such a cruel punishment?

Someone took a picture of what was happening and posted it on the Internet.

The members of Martial Tao Forum became excited.

After two years, Chu the Devil had reappeared and used very cruel methods to turn people into eternal fire.

Everyone was guessing what had happened.

There were different opinions and various speculations. But in the end, they were just speculations, and there was no evidence, so everyone looked upon it as a spectacle.

Martial Tao Forum, because of the presence of Chu Xun, had been thrown into chaos for several days.

There was nothing like an absolute secret.

Wu Keyin and others’ identities were exposed, and their hatred with Chu Xun was also known.

The descendant of Immortal Level, Wu Keyin, assassinated Chu the Devil’s confidante. It had angered Chu the Devil and he was thus turned into an eternal fire, which had been burning for several days.

“Wu Keyin? I remember that there was a man named Wu Kejin whose legs were cut by Chu the Devil.”

“The Immortal Level descendant acted so recklessly. Didn’t he think this is still the era of the rule of the Assembly of Immortals?”

“If one angers Chu the Devil, he will end up being just miserable, whether he is a descendant of Immortal Level or Divine race.”

“The fire has been burning for days. How long do you think they will burn?”

“With the means of Chu the Devil, it definitely won’t be short. Her confidante was killed. With Chu the Devil’s vengeful nature, how can he easily let go of these four men?”

The discussion on the Internet had gone viral. Some people praised Chu Xun for being affectionate and righteous, while others called him cruel.

Chu Xun naturally didn’t know any of that. Now his goal had been achieved, he wouldn’t care about the comments of others. With the example of Wu Keyin and his men, he believed that anyone who wanted to hurt people of Chu Mansion would have to think about it twice.

“Little Xun, please talk to Rourou. This child has a persistent personality and insists on mourning Hong Ling’s death for ten years. She doesn’t listen to what we say.” This is the tenth time that Tang Wenyan and his wife begged him.

Chu Xun smiled bitterly. He had talked to Tang Rou eleven times. But this girl was even more stubborn than him, and no one could change her decision.

He came to the cemetery for the twelfth time.

Tang Rou was sitting in front of Hong Ling’s grave.

Seeing Chu Xun coming, Tang Rou glanced at him lightly, ” Chu Xun, don’t try to persuade me anymore.”

Chu Xun felt a little upset. Since the death of Hong Ling, Tang Rou’s personality had changed a lot. There was a touch of strength in her feebleness, and she had been trying to suppress something in her eyes.

“I’ll take a look at Hong Ling.” Chu Xun replied. Seeing that Tang Rou closed her eyes again, he stood for a while, turned and walked away gently.

After Chu Xun left, Tang Rou opened her eyes, looked in the direction in which Chu Xun was leaving, and whispered to herself, “Chu Xun, compared to Hong Ling, my love was too shallow. I will never put you on the spot again.”

Chu Xun, who was walking far, slowed down slightly and his eyes were guilty.

In the past few days, Tang Wenyan and his wife had been begging everyone on Qianlong Mountain to take turns to talk to Tang Rou, but it didn’t work out well.

Why was a good thing always followed by a bad thing?

Hua Qingwu had woken up, which was a good thing, but now no one could be happy.

Chu Xun felt a little depressed. Although Wu Keyin and others had made it into eternal fire, it could not completely dispel the hostility in his heart.

What about revenge? Hong Ling had died, and she would never come back.

It was time to go for a walk.

The Gate of Broken Soul had been destroyed. And Tianlong Fort and Sifang Sword Sect had been lingering for too long.

In the beginning, Wu Ming and Zuo Ziqiu had been sent as spies to the two forces. Now it was time to draw the net in.

Since they were enemies, no matter how strong or weak, it would be reassuring to erase them.

Chu Xun quietly left Qianlong Mountain without disturbing anyone.

A few days later, a piece of news completely set off a storm on the already stirring Internet.

Tianlong Fort had collapsed.

Long Feiyang, the master of Tianlong Fort, was easily killed by Chu Xun.

One day later, Sifang Sword Sect was completely destroyed.

All these were Chu the Devil’s work

The world was afraid.

Chu Xun was standing on the top of the mountain with folded arms.

Wu Ming and Zuo Ziqiu stood silently with their hands down.

Wu Ming and Zuo Ziqiu stood silently with their hands down.

The two were thankful. They said goodbye to Chu Xun, and headed to the Fire Dragon Palace.

Chu Xun was the only one left. He smiled wryly. He had been traveling alone in the alien land for three thousand years. He had spent some time with his family these few days, and now suddenly felt a little lonely when he was alone. He thought he had become more emotional.

Chu Xun decided to go to see Jiu You first before making plans for what to do next. This kid had been fighting in the south and hadn’t even called home. She deserved a beating.

He only knew that Jiu You was in the south, but the south was so vast, so he could only inquire about her whereabouts slowly.

On the way, Chu Xun encountered an expedition team of more than ten people. Now there were countless such teams, and explorer unions had been established in various cities.

The explorers’ union was responsible for issuing news and listing the items needed, such as some meaty beasts, or some spiritual herbs.

The explorer team would go deep into mountains and forests to hunt animals and pick herbs, and then send them to the explorer’s union in exchange for corresponding rewards.

Generally, this kind of team consisted of a dozen people.

The team that Chu Xun encountered was not very strong. The leader was named Zhang Shan, a very common name. He had the strongest cultivation base, but it was only the sixth rank Human King Realm.

After Dramatic Change of Sky and Earth, everything on the earth had revived and spiritual energy was abundant, causing the sudden emergence of a large number of masters.

When he first returned to Earth, Innate Realm and Acquired Realm were considered masters, and Grandmaster was even hailed as a myth. But now, even the Great King was forced to rely on hunting to make a living.

Actually, with Zhang Shan’s cultivation base, he could have just found a force to join, and he would live well.

But there were still many people in this world who liked freedom more.

“Brother Tianhe, why are you traveling alone in these mountains and forests? How dangerous it is!” Zhang Shan was easy-going, and after meeting Chu Xun, he invited him to join his team temporarily.

Although the other team members were unhappy, Zhang Shan was the captain and had the right to decide who went and who stayed.

But apart from Zhang Shan, the other team members were hostile to Chu Xun, because one more person would reduce their share of the benefits.

Chu Xun was now in the form of Liu Tianhe, and even his appearance had changed. After listening to Zhang Shan’s question, he laughed and said, “I was lost!”

Zhang Shan was surprised. He patted Chu Xun on the shoulder, “Brother, now the world has changed, and all kinds of strange things happen frequently. For example, the road I walked on yesterday has changed its direction today. You must be more careful when you go out.”

“Brother Zhang Shan, is this Qilin fruit easy to find?” Chu Xun asked casually. He had learnt in their previous conversation that Zhang Shan’s team had accepted the task of picking Qilin fruit.

Qilin fruit was a kind of spiritual fruit, and it tasted juicy and sweet, very delicious, with the effect of beautifying and nourishing the face, so it was the favorite of those powerful women.

Zhang Shan smiled bitterly, “Of course not. It’s all luck. We have been hanging around here for a week.”

“If you have something to do, you can go first.” A team member named Li Jinyuan next to him said to Chu Xun.

In this team, except for Zhang Shan, this Li Jinyuan had the highest cultivation base, Grade Five Human King Realm.

Since Chu Xun showed up, Li Jinyuan had been extremely hostile to Chu Xun, because Chu Xun was also Grade Five Human King Realm. If he found Qilin fruit, Chu Xun would get as many rewards as him after they got paid. If Chu Xun were not there, then he could score more.

It was all about money. Chu Xun naturally didn’t care about it.

“Don’t worry, if I find Qilin fruit and exchange it for a reward, I won’t get a penny.” Chu Xun laughed.

Everyone was surprised. The way they looked at Chu Xun was implying a question, was he a fool? Was there anyone who didn’t do things for money in the world?

“Brother Tianhe, don’t worry. If you find Qilin fruit and get paid, I promise you will get a share.” Zhang Shan glanced at Li Jinyuan, “I’m the boss here.”

Li Jinyuan glared at Chu Xun gloomily and said nothing.

Zhang Shan smiled awkwardly, “Brother, you were lost, but where did you go?”

“Have you heard of someone named Jiu You?” Chu Xun asked.

As a result, Zhang Shan’s face changed sharply. He made a silent gesture, then looked around, lowered his voice, and asked, “Brother, are you talking about Queen Jiu You?”

Chu Xun nodded slightly.

“Brother, do you have anything to do with Queen Jiu You?” Zhang Shan’s eyes changed.

The other team members also became attentive, waiting for Chu Xun’s answer.

“I have never seen her before, but I heard that she was fighting here, so I wanted to go to see her.” Chu Xun said.

Zhang Shan was relieved. He seemed to be afraid of Queen Jiu You. He was about to speak when Li Jinyuan said sarcastically, “Don’t be delusional. Queen Jiu You is very powerful, and her subordinates are all high-level Human King Realm. With your cultivation base, you are not qualified to guard the door for Queen Jiu You.”

Chu Xun was speechless. He was not qualified to guard the door for Queen Jiu You?

“Brother, don’t blame Jin Yuan for speaking straight, but it’s a fact. Queen Jiu You doesn’t accept martial artists under Grade Seven Human King Realm. Even I am not qualified.” Zhang Shan said, “Do you know who is behind Queen Jiu You?”

Before Chu Xun could react, Li Jinyuan interrupted again, “Chu the Devil is behind Queen Jiu You. Don’t you even know who Chu the Devil is?”

Chu Xun smiled bitterly, could he not know himself?

“Where is Queen Jiu You now?” Chu Xun just wanted to know where Jiu You was now.

“Brother, don’t bother to try. Queen Jiu You won’t take you in.”

“I’m just curious, where is this Queen Jiu You now?” Chu Xun was helpless.

“Idiot, you want to go to her without knowing where Queen Jiu You is?” Li Jinyuan sneered.

Chu Xun’s eyes were slightly cold, and he looked at Li Jinyuan. He didn’t want to argue with him, but it didn’t mean that Li Jinyuan could provoke him repeatedly.

Li Jinyuan trembled because Chu Xun’s gaze somehow made him feel cold all over his body.

Zhang Shan glared at Li Jinyuan, then turned to Chu Xun and said, “Queen Jiu You is in Tianlong City. We are all from Tianlong City. When we find Qilin fruit, we still have to return to Tianlong City in exchange for rewards.”

“Tianlong City?” Chu Xun was slightly surprised. It seemed that it was named after Sky Dragon Guard.

“Yes, Tianlong City is the new name after Queen Jiu You took over it.” Zhang Shan explained, “This city has been renewed too quickly, just like the current Qilin City who changed its name only a few days ago.”

“Qilin City?” Chu Xun had a strange feeling.

“Qilin City had been occupied by a beast, Flaming Qilin. He is unusual. He even told all the aliens to go worship him.” Zhang Shan lowered his voice, “I heard that Flaming Qilin once said that he would fight with Chu the Devil.”

Chu Xun was stunned that Flaming Qilin had come here to make trouble.

“Besides, this Qilin fruit only appeared after the Flaming Qilin came. It is said that Qilin fruit was originally an ordinary spiritual fruit, but when the Flaming Qilin passed by it, it was contaminated with the Qilin’s breath, so there has been an amazing change.” Zhang Shan said.

“Amazing change?” Chu Xun laughed blankly, “Just beautify your face?”

“Brother, this is no ordinary beautification. It is said that after eating Qilin fruit, you can be ten years younger in an instant.”

Chu Xun was surprised, “So amazing?”

Zhang Shan nodded and said, “Otherwise, how could the explorers’ union have offered a high price ten times that of middle-grade spirit herbs on Qilin fruit?”

“In this case, you can just follow the Flaming Qilin directly. The fruit trees after he passes by will be contaminated with his breath. You can just watch the fruit trees and pick the fruit.”

“Brother, you are too innocent. Who dares to follow Flaming Qilin? Besides, you have to keep up with him even if you want to follow him.” Zhang Shan smiled bitterly. “Flaming Qilin said that Qilin fruit belongs to him. Who dares to pick it privately will be killed instantly.”

“Then you dare to pick it?” Chu Xun was surprised. They were so bold!

“Flaming Qilin just said that. He has walk through so many places. I guess he doesn’t even know which fruit trees the Qilin fruit will grow on.”

Chu Xun nodded. That was it. But he secretly decided to ask him for more Qilin fruit when he met Flaming Qilin, so that he could bring them back to his father and mother when he went back home.

“Okay, we’re almost done resting. Keep looking!” Zhang Shan stood up and spoke.

They began to search all over the mountains.

One day passed, and they found nothing.

Chu Xun found that there were many teams around, all of which were targeting Qilin fruit.

The next day, just after dawn, Chu Xun felt something. He jumped onto a hill and looked around, only to see the red light flashing in the dense forest.

Divine thought spread, and the sight of the place was immediately reflected in Chu Xun’s mind.

There was a red fruit tree whose branches and leaves looked like burning fire, and there were more than a dozen red fruits on it.

Chu Xun woke up Zhang Shan who was still in concentration and showed him.

Zhang Shan’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly awakened the others, and said to Chu Xun, “Brother, this is Qilin fruit. It should be just ripe, so hurry up to pick it before someone else gets ahead of us.”

They rushed over.

At the same time, other teams around also found Qilin fruit, and they rushed to compete for it.

Chu Xun and others rushed over, only to find that the fruit tree was exuding terrible temperature, and it was all roasted and cracked, and the surrounding mountains, grass, and trees turned to ashes.

“Be prepared, grab the Qilin fruit when it matures and falls.” Zhang Shan stared at the magma-like fruit tree and ordered.

“Why don’t you pick it now?” Chu Xun was surprised. He found that everyone around him was waiting.

Zhang Shan glanced at Chu Xun weirdly, “Who can stand this temperature? One will be refined into ashes when he goes near.”

Chu Xun secretly scolded himself as being stupid. He was not afraid of magma, so he had forgotten that.

“Brothers, be prepared. Once the fruit is ripe, there will be a bloody battle.” Zhang Shan’s eyes become fierce. As veteran hunters in the mountains, no one was a pushover.

Chu Xun was not surprised. The expedition team had lived a dangerous life. Although Zhang Shan was relatively easy-going, he was as cruel as anyone else in the face of interests.

Chu Xun yawned wearily, and it attracted the attention of others.

“It’s so boring!” Chu Xun wanted to step forward and pick all the fruits to save time.

After waiting for an hour, the temperature on the fruit tree slowly dissipated and the branches were shaking

“Attention, the fruit is about to fall.” Zhang Shan stared closely at the swinging Qilin fruit.

Chu Xun looked left and right, and found that everyone seemed to be staring at it. He was a little amused. Such a fight was like a simple child’s game in his eyes, and he couldn’t take the slightest interest at all.

“It is so boring.” Chu Xun thought to himself.

However, this kind of experience was relaxing for him without all the killings and bloodshed.

After returning to the earth, he had been fighting north and south and killing people everywhere. To be honest, it was indeed a bit tiring. This kind of situation was a rare relaxing vacation for him.

At this time, a swaying Qilin fruit finally fell off the branch.

“Do it.” Zhang Shan shouted.

Everyone moved right in hearing the order.

Chu Xun stepped out subconsciously and grabbed Qilin fruit with his hand. Chu Xun’s speed shocked everyone present.

Zhang Shan was stunned for a moment and was overjoyed, “Brother, good job.”

Chu Xun exuded a breath to check the Qilin fruit, and found that it was just an ordinary spiritual fruit, but it contained a strong fire attribute violent factor.

Suddenly, Chu Xun’s nose twitched. He approached the Qilin fruit and smelled it. His face changed and he threw the Qilin fruit to Zhang Shan directly.

The Qilin fruit smelled of urine, which made Chu Xun’s face blacked.

At this time, another Qilin fruit fell from the branch.

But Chu Xun just avoided with a look of disgust on his face.

The so-called spiritual fruit was refreshing whether one smelled or eaten it. This Qilin fruit smelt like urine, which was unpleasant.

Seeing Chu Xun retreating instead of grabbing the fruit, everyone was stunned, but they quickly screamed and rushed forward to snatch it.

“Ah! You worthless people, how dare you ignore my command? You are asking for trouble.” There suddenly came a roar, like a thunderstorm, and a fiery red figure like lightning.

Before he arrived, monstrous coercion swept in. The highest cultivation base present was only the sixth-rank Human King Realm, and each of them was intimidated and shivering, squatting on the ground. What was more, a man flushed with surging blood, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Swoosh!

The fiery red figure arrived, and he cracked the ground when he landed. This man was dressed in a dark red robe with a golden Qilin embroidered on it. His face was handsome and his red hair was dancing in the wind like a fire, full of power.

Flaming Qilin.

All the people present were pale with fear.
