The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 470 Ever Burning Lamps!

Chu Xun ran as fast as he could. He went back to Gujiang City that night and saw Jing Hong and the others.

Jing Hong handed Chu Xun a mobile phone and said, “Some people were watching us outside Qianlong Mountain, but they were all killed by Flame Wyrm.”

Chu Xun frowned slightly and said, “That didn’t alert the enemy, right?”

“They used phones to contact each other, but their phones haven’t rung,” Jing Hong said.

“That’s good.” Chu Xun turned on the mobile phone and found that there was only one number in it.

“Long Yi, Scarlet Siren and the others are here and stationed at every intersection.” Jing Hong thought for a moment and said, “Jiu You is still fighting in the south. We didn’t get in touch with her.”

“No need to contact Jiu You. You and Little Wu go to guard the two main roads,” Chu Xun said.

Jing Hong nodded.

“Then be careful.” Hua Qingwu left. She knew that Chu Xun must have his own plans.

After that, Chu Xun walked step by step toward Huarui Hotel.

In a presidential suite at Huarui Hotel, Wu Keyin was tasting expensive red wine, and his eyes were slightly narrowed.

Tan Yuqing and the other two people at Grade Nine of Human King Realm stood respectfully in front of him.

Wu Keyin glanced at them. “Any news about Yu Hong?”

Tan Yuqing trembled slightly. He lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry, but there’s still no news.”

“Useless.” Wu Keyin frowned and scolded him. “Those who dare to betray me will never have a good ending.”

“My lord, don’t worry. I swear I’ll find him and bring him back for you,” Tan Yuqing said.

Wu Keyin was very satisfied with Tan Yuqing being so humble. He nodded slightly and said, “I really want to see the Devil’s crazy look.”

“My lord, don’t you think too highly of the Devil? Compared with you, he is nothing. I guess he still doesn’t know who did this,” a man at Grade Nine of Human King Realm said flatteringly.

“You’re right. Although the Devil’s cultivation is high, he’s just a reckless man after all. But you are a man of resourcefulness,” the other man in the same realm said.

Tan Yuqing’s face was full of disdain. They were such sycophants. He snorted and said, “If you underestimate the Devil, you will suffer a great loss.”

“Elder Tan, what are you saying? Do you think the Devil is stronger than our master?” one of the two men asked.

“I don’t know if he’s stronger than our master, but the Devil’s fame is built on countless people’s lives. I just feel that the mad lion is more terrible. The Devil must be irritated. We’d better be careful because he’s the mad lion now,” Tan Yuqing said.

“Elder Tan, I think you think too highly of the Devil. I don’t like you discouraging us.” The man at Grade Nine of Human King Realm took a look at Wu Keyin. Seeing that he didn’t seem to be annoyed, he couldn’t help refuting Tan Yuqing’s words.

“Better safe than sorry. If you are blindly arrogant, you will fail,” Tan Yuqing said.

“Our master is here, so we won’t fail. No matter how powerful the Devil is, he doesn’t even know who we are. What he could do is to torture himself. Elder Tan, are you afraid? Or do you still think our master is no match for the Devil?”

“Stupid.” Tan Yuqing thought. He was furious. “When did I say that our master was no match for the Devil? I just think that it is better to be careful. After all, the person we offended is the Devil, not an ordinary person.”

“What a joke. Devil Chu is just a nobody in front of our master.”

“You...”

“Shut up, all of you.” Wu Keyin scolded them.

“My lord, I have an idea. May I tell you?” Tan Yuqing asked.

“Go ahead.”

“Given the Devil’s vengeful nature, he will definitely investigate and affix the responsibility for what happened. Yu Hong has disappeared for the time being, but if he is caught by the Devil, he will definitely betray us. I think we should temporarily go somewhere to avoid the Devil. I heard that Queen Jiu You is fighting in the south, so why don’t we go to the south...”

“Do you mean we are going to the south to kill Queen Jiu You?” Wu Keyin’s eyes flashed.

“That’s right. Queen Jiu You is much more important than Hong Ling. Even the death of Hong Ling can drive the Devil crazy. If something happens to Queen Jiu You, the Devil would be overwhelmed with anger and sorrow.” Tan Yuqing’s eyes sparkled with sinister light.

“There’s no need,” Wu Keyin said indifferently.

Tan Yuqing was stunned and thought it was difficult to be a loyal, frank subordinate.

“The chance of Yu Hong being caught by the Devil is very slim. Yu Hong is a coward, so he might have escaped thousands of miles away by now. Furthermore, the Devil doesn’t know Yu Hong at all. Even if Yu Hong stood in front of the Devil, he wouldn’t do anything to Yu Hong. Therefore, your worries are completely unnecessary.”

Tan Yuqing pondered for a while. He felt that Wu Keyin’s analysis was very reasonable. “My lord, you indeed are resourceful. You are right. I don’t have to worry about anything.”

“That’s right. My lord, you are a man of ideas. The Devil is no match for you no matter in terms of cultivation or wisdom.” A man took the opportunity to flatter Wu Keyin.

Tan Yuqing was annoyed. His cultivation was higher than the two people. In the outside world, they had to show him much respect when they saw him. Now they dared to insult and mock him again and again. If it weren’t for Wu Keyin, he would have killed them long ago.

“Is there any news of the people watching Qianlong Mountain?” Wu Keyin asked.

“My lord, no news now,” a man said.

“Go and ask what’s going on over there?” Wu Keyin frowned.

“Yes, my lord,” answered the man hurriedly. He took out his mobile phone and made a call in front of Wu Keyin.

At this time, Chu Xun was standing in front of the building of Huarui Hotel. Feeling the mobile phone was vibrating, he took it out, looked at it, and then picked it up.

“Hey, is there any news?”

“What news do you want?” Chu Xun replied gently.

“Idiot. Report anything you know to me.” The man didn’t seem to notice something was wrong with the speaker.

“Still no news,” Chu Xun said.

“What the hell are you doing? Nothing has happened in Qianlong Mountain?”

“No.”

“What? Tell me now. You’re such a good-for-nothing.”

“Open the door and I’ll report it to you in person.” Chu Xun was already standing outside the door of Wu Keyin’s room.

The man at Grade Nine of Human King Realm in the room was slightly stunned and subconsciously walked to the door. “Bastard, who ask you to come here without permission?”

Wu Keyin’s face changed slightly, and he rose to his feet.

The man had opened the door. It was not that he was not alert, but he was on the phone and just did this subconsciously.

When someone was on the phone, no matter what you gave him, he would subconsciously reach out to take it. He would subconsciously do whatever you asked him to do. This was the habit of thinking.

“Bastard, who asked you to come here?” The man opened the door and found Chu Xun was a little familiar. He subconsciously felt that Chu Xun should be one of his men, so he scolded him without hesitation.

However, Tan Yuqing’s expression suddenly changed. He shouted in fear, “Come back!”

Tan Yuqing’s voice did not alert that man. On the contrary, it startled him. He subconsciously turned around to take a look.

But the moment he looked back, he felt that his neck was suddenly tightened, and that his bones were almost crushed.

He was so shocked, and his face changed greatly. He immediately ran his Internal Breath, only to find in shock that his Internal Breath was suppressed, and he couldn’t even use a bit at all.

Chu Xun slightly tightened his grip.

Crack!

His bones crunched. The eyeballs of the man at Grade Nine of Human King Realm bulged and his tongue was stuck out.

Crack!

His neck bone was completely broken, and his head tilted. He was not dead, and his nerves on the neck were still working, but he was disabled now.

Chu Xun raised his hand and threw the man into the room. Then he stepped in.

“Chu Xun the Devil.” Tan Yuqing was so shocked that his tone changed.

When other man heard this name, he jumped a few meters away and looked at Chu Xun in horror.

Wu Keyin’s eyes flashed quickly, and he was shocked, too. He was so sure that it was impossible for Chu Xun to find this place. But now Chu Xun was standing in front of him. His heart beat wildly and he couldn’t calm down.

“Wu Keyin, Wu Kejin’s elder brother, the scumbag of the immortals,” Chu Xun looked at Wu Keyin and said with a poker face.

Then, he looked at Tan Yuqing. “Tan Yuqing, one of the people who killed Hong Ling.”

Tan Yuqing was panicked. How was this possible? The Devil not only found them, but also knew their names and identities very well.

“You have caught Yu Hong?” Wu Keyin quickly realized that since the Devil was here, he must have found Yu Hong.

Chu Xun smiled coldly, and his eyes were tinged with a murderous intent.

“You shouldn’t be so stupid as to irritate me.”

“Chu Xun, you are really a good opponent. I suddenly like you a little.” Wu Keyin calmed himself down. He knew that it was no use panicking now.

“You are too base and puny to be my opponent!” Chu Xun sneered.

Wu Keyin’s face darkened. He had just taken action, but the Devil had barged into his den already. This made him a little annoyed.

It was just like playing chess. He had just moved a piece once, but his king had been checkmated by the Devil. He was both shocked and angry.

“Do you know how Yu Hong died?” Chu Xun looked at Wu Keyin. Before Wu could speak, he said, “He died a more miserable death than dying from Bone Melting Pill.”

Wu Keyin’s eyelids were twitching. Chu Xun even knew about Bone Melting Pill.

Tan Yuqing and the other two people at Grade Nine of Human King Realm were very surprised. What kind of death was more terrible than dying from Bone Melting Pill?

“In fact, Yu Hong died a happy death. After all, he only suffered for a short time. But you will suffer endless pain before you die,” Chu Xun said calmly, but others felt creepy.

“Chu Xun, stop scaring me. Yes, you find me, but so what? Do you really think I only have brains?” Wu Keyin sneered.

“Brains?” Chu Xun looked at him, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

Wu Keyin ground his teeth with hatred. He hated such a look.

“Chu Xun, I planned to slowly torture you to death, but you are asking for it yourself. I’ll give you a quick one.”

Wu Keyin was exasperated. He took the lead to attack. With a bang, he was surrounded by white light, and all the things in the room exploded in an instant. He raised his hand and slammed it down on Chu Xun.

Chu Xun’s eyes were cold, and he looked coldly at Wu Keyin’s palm print. Hong Meng Immortal Qi around him surged wildly, and purple mist gushed out of his fist. He struck out with his hands violently, and his punch was extremely fierce.

Boom!

Wu Keyin’s palm print was directly blown up. Terrible blast rolled, and the walls of the room were blown up.

Wu Keyin’s face suddenly changed. He couldn’t withstand Chu Xun’s punch and was sent flying out of the window.

The room was on the 22nd floor. Wu Keyin was knocked out of the window and fell.

Chu Xun took a step forward and flew down at a high speed. His feet were surrounded by purple light, and he slammed hard on Wu Keyin.

Wu Keyin shouted angrily and slammed his palms toward Chu Xun.

Boom!

A terrible blast of air rolled. Wu Keyin was stepped on top of his head, and fell to the ground with a harsh sound.

Bang!

The ground burst, the cracks began to spread out, and the surrounding buildings shook. Wu Keyin was furious. He was a descendant of the immortals and an expert at the Immortal Level, yet he was trampled on the top of his head like a bug. This was a great humiliation.

Chu Xun and Wu Keyin were fighting downstairs. Tan Yuqing and the other man at Grade Nine of Human King Realm walked to the window and jumped down.

“Wu Keyin, you’re too weak. You’re as weak as your brother, that good-for-nothing. I’m really curious who gave you the courage to provoke me?” Chu Xun said with a slight mockery.

Wu Keyin’s face was gloomy. Chu Xun was much stronger than he had imagined. When Chu Xun had fought with his younger brother back then, he was definitely not as powerful as he was now. In less than two years, he had improved so much. Such a cultivation speed was really scary. He had to get rid of Chu Xun, otherwise, he would be a strong enemy of Assembly of Immortals.

Swoosh!

Chu Xun stepped in front of Wu Keyin, raised his fist to punch Wu. His punch was full of power.

Wu Keyin was furious. His Internal Breath surged wildly, and he struck out at Chu Xun.

Bang!

The fist and palm met, causing a terrible force that had the power of shattering gold and stone.

Wu Keyin’s face turned red. Once again, he was sent flying by Chu Xun’s punch. His arm was almost broken.

Chu Xun’s fist was too powerful.

“My lord, we’ll help you.”

Tan Yuqing and the man rushed to Chu Xun at the same time. They raised their hands and sent out two horrible chains.

Both of them had extraordinary cultivation and powerful attacks. At least their former opponents thought so.

Chu Xun casually punched twice and shattered the two chains. He then moved, and the next moment, he was in front of them.

Bang!

Tan Yuqing groaned. His arms were broken and he coughed up a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying backward.

He was at Grade Nine of Great Completion, but he couldn’t even take one punch from Chu Xun. This scene frightened the man at Grade Nine of Human King Realm next to him. The man turned around to escape.

Bang!

Chu Xun raised his leg, and kicked the man violently on the back. The bones on the man’s back crunched, and were broken. He felt his internal organs were displaced.

Swoosh!

Chu Xun turned around and rushed to Wu Keyin. His fists with purple light looked like purple gems, and a casual wave of his hand would cause an ear-piercing roar.

Wu Keyin’s face was grim. He was definitely no match for Chu Xun in combat. He flipped his hand and took out a broken piece of yellow paper with magic figures. After he activated it, it was shining with golden light.

Chu Xun narrowed his eyes. In his fight against Wu Kejin back then, Wu Kejin had taken out a piece of broken paper with decree. It belonged to Assembly of Immortals, and was very powerful. Later, he had also taken out a piece of broken yellow paper with magic figures and summoned the experts from the outside world. Chu Xun had almost died.

Wu Keyin’s paper was exactly the same as the one that Wu Kejin had used.

Chu Xun was not afraid. In the past two years, his cultivation had improved a lot. He might not be able to defeat the experts coming from the outside world, but he could still be able to escape unscathed.

However, this was Gujiang City, and they were surrounded by residential areas. If Wu Keyin really summoned the experts, tens of thousands of residents would die.

Wu Keyin’s eyes were fierce. He was determined to kill Chu Xun. Chu Xun had made too great progress.

Boom!

Thousands of beams of golden light burst out of the yellow paper, and the flowing clouds in the sky were spinning rapidly. which was exactly the same as the scene happening after Wu Kejin had summoned the experts.

Swoosh!

The golden light burst out. The golden ripples were surging. Holding Dragon’s Wrath tightly, Chu Xun madly ran his Hong Meng Immortal Qi and chopped at the yellow paper.

Bang!

The air was rolling, and the void was shaking and roaring. The broken yellow paper was smashed by Chu Xun.

Wu Keyin was dumbfounded and couldn’t believe his eyes.

Chu Xun activated Dragon’s Wrath and pounced on Wu Keyin. He slashed fiercely with his saber at Wu. The blade was emitting a terrible light and had a shrill scream.

Wu Keyin turned pale with fright. He ran his Internal Breath to resist and flew back at the same time.

Poof!

Blood spurted out, and Wu Keyin fell to the ground. There was a terrible wound on his chest. His skin and flesh were cut open, and blood kept gushing out.

“The descendants of the immortals are so weak.” Chu Xun’s tone was cold, and his words were sharper than Dragon’s Wrath.

Sweat broke out on Wu Keyin’s forehead, and he was trembling with fear. If he had not resisted the chop desperately, he would have been split in half.

“Chu Xun, I really underestimated you.” Wu Keyin’s eyes were full of resentment. With a flash of cold silver light, a set of armor appeared on his body.

“You’re a loser. How dare you say that?” Chu Xun disdained him. “Today, none can save your life.”

“This is Silver Dragon Armor, which can defend against an attack from someone of Earth Immortal Realm. Chu Xun, are you already an expert of Earth Immortal Realm?” Wu Keyin said mockingly.

Swoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xun waved his knife and chopped down fiercely.

Clang!

Dragon’s Wrath hit Wu Keyin’s silver armor. Sparks flew in all directions, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.

Wu Keyin was sent flying by the slash.

Chu Xun frowned. Wu Keyin’s Silver Dragon Armor was really extraordinary. It could resist the sharp blade of Dragon’s Wrath, and only got a shallow mark.

Bang!

Wu Keyin fell to the ground, causing a big hole in the ground. He jumped up and looked at Chu Xun fiercely.

“Chu Xun, there is no way that you can kill me.” As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around to flee.

“My lord, save us!” The ma at Grade Nine of Human King Realm shouted. He had been disabled by Chu Xun with one kick.

“You good-for-nothing. What’s the point of saving you?” Tan Yuqing and the man were extremely angry when they heard those ruthless words. They couldn’t help roaring, “Wu Keyin, you beast, you will die a miserable death.”

Wu Keyin was furious. He couldn’t believe that even his servants dared to insult him. If they hadn’t been so away from him, he would have activated Bone Melting Pill planted in their bodies. But he would let them go this time, because if they couldn’t get the antidote once half a month, they would die.

“You have the nerve to call yourself a descendant of the immortals? You are just a panic-stricken loser.” Chu Xun sneered and chased after them the next moment.

Wu Keyin was definitely more than four times faster than the speed of sound. However, he didn’t know that Chu Xun was five and a half times faster. In just a few breaths, he was caught up.

Wu Keyin’s hair stood on end. Chu Xun’s speed frightened him.

Swoosh!

The Saber Qi swept across the area and disappeared in a flash.

Clang!

Wu Keyin was sent flying, and once again caused a big hole in the ground.

“You’re too slow.” Chu Xun sneered.

With a fierce look in his eyes, Wu Keyin got up and ran like mad again.

Chu Xun’s eyes were deep. He put away Dragon’s Wrath, took out Ancestral Dragon’s tail bone, and caught up with Wu Keyin in two steps.

A whistling sound rang out.

Ancestral Dragon’s Bone was activated, and gave off a purple-golden light. Chu Xun waved his hand. Large amounts of purple-golden ripples appeared and then ruthlessly hit Wu Keyin.

Bang!

Wu Keyin was sent flying. A part of Silver Dragon Armor was dented and squeezed his waist, and the pain was unbearable.

Bang!

Chu Xun stepped in front of Wu and sent him flying again, denting the armor again.

Wu Keyin groaned in pain. The dented armor almost broke his ribs.

“Wu Keyin, your turtle shell can’t protect you.” Chu Xun pushed his speed to the extreme.

Bang!

Wu Keyin couldn’t resist at all and was sent flying again.

Something clanged!

Chu Xun followed him like a shadow and repeatedly sent Wu Keyin flying. He would always arrive first before Wu Keyin landed, and then slap him away. Wu Keyin couldn’t even have the time to land on the ground even once.

Poof!

Wu Keyin spat out a mouthful of blood. Silver Dragon Armor was full of dents, and his body was almost crushed.

“Chu Xun, how about we call off the battle? I can represent Assembly of Immortals and make an alliance with you.” Wu Keyin was scared.

“Who do you think you are? Who do you think Assembly of Immortals is? Do you think it is qualified to ally with me?” Chu Xun said coldly. Then he took a step forward, kicked Wu Keyin and sent him flying.

There was a crunching sound.

Wu Keyin’s ribs couldn’t bear the pressure of the dented Silver Dragon Armor, and one of them broke. He couldn’t help screaming.

If he were attacked again, his body would be crushed. Wu Keyin could only put away Silver Dragon Armor.

Chu Xun’s eyes were cold. He put away Ancestral Dragon’s tail bone, moved forward, and raised his fist to punch Wu.

Bang! Bang!

Chu Xun punched him hard a dozen times in a row and crazily vented the anger in his heart.

After a while, Chu Xun stopped. Wu Keyin lay on the ground feebly, and all his bones were smashed by Chu Xun.

“Don’t worry. You won’t die. I’ll let you live,” Chu Xun said indifferently. “Death is a mercy to you. I’ll let you suffer a fate worse than death. I’ll let everyone see what will happen to someone who has provoked me.”

Wu Keyin’s eyes bulged and were full of fear. His jaw and neck bones had been smashed by Chu Xun. Except for his eyeballs, there was no part in his body that could move.

“Flame Wyrm, Long Yi and Long Er, come to see me.” Chu Xun raised his head and shouted. His voice was as loud as thunder, which alerted the whole Gujiang City.

All the warriors in Gujiang City were shocked. They had heard the movements of this big battle, but they didn’t expect that the main character would be the Devil, who had disappeared for two years.

Flame Wyrm, Long Yi, Long Er, and the others rushed over when they heard the shout.

Chu Xun ordered them to take Wu Keyin and his men to People’s Square of Gujiang City.

Chu Xun began to set up a web of formations.

In the center of the square, the magic formations were activated at the same time, and a magic barrier appeared.

Chu Xun threw Wu Keyin and the other three inside the barrier. Then, he imprisoned them with a secret method and let them stand there straight.

“Do you know ever burning lamps?” There was no trace of emotion in Chu Xun’s words.

Wu Keyin and his men couldn’t move or speak, but their eyes were full of fear.

Chu Xun reached out a finger, and a purple light appeared. With a puff, a hole as thick as a finger appeared on the top of Wu Keyin’s head, but there was no blood gushing out.

Next, Chu Xun did the same thing to the other three people.

Chu Xun asked someone to bring him a hemp rope as thick as a finger. The rope penetrated through the small hole in the top of their heads, leaving only a one-finger-long part outside. He then lit the ropes outside.

Poof!

Four flames jumped up more than one meter above the heads of the four people. The lowest cultivation of these four people was Grade Nine of Human King Realm, so their bodies contained a huge amount of energy. Although they could not move or speak, the formation could drive his cultivation to run all the time, so the flames were particularly high.

Chu Xun set up a Five Ghosts Transportation Formation. In this way, there would be enough spiritual energy to be transported into their bodies. With the help of the formation, their cultivation could run on their own, so as to ensure that the flames would last for a long time.

At the moment when the flames rose, the eyeballs of Wu Keyin and the other three people bulged, and their eyeballs were covered with blood.

Not only the ropes outside were burning, which made them painful. These hemp ropes had been tampered with by Chu Xun, so they were burning inside them, burning their internal organs, limbs, and bones.

Jing Hong and Hua Qingwu turned around and couldn’t bear to see this anymore. It was too cruel. However, they didn’t object to Chu Xun’s act, because their dear Hong Ling was killed by those people.

Flame Wyrm, Long Yi, and the others were frightened, and felt their hands and feet were cold. It was too scary. But they knew that Chu Xun was warning the whole world.

Chu Xun looked at this coldly, and there was no pity in his eyes. As long as he was alive, the magic formations would last, and the four human-shaped ever burning lamp would never be extinguished.

Devils versus immortals? Justice versus evil? Chu Xun didn’t care about it at all. He only followed his heart.
