The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 90 The Whole Team is Wiped Out
The 12 members of the 12 Constellations, as well as Immortal Master Gao, were wiped out.

Chu Xun wore a cold expression and stood there with his hands behind his back.

His clothes were still tidy and clean even after he killed 13 people in succession.

Chu Xun knew that these people he killed all served in state organs and what he did would bring him big trouble.

Nevertheless, he did not regret it. If he could choose again, he would still choose to kill them all.

He still felt indignant at the moment. Among his subordinates, Chen Hanlong followed him the longest and was loyal to him. However, because of him, Chen Hanlong lost his beloved woman, which made Chu Xun feel very guilty.

Chu Xun would dig into the matter. He must find out why the country would raise such a group of unscrupulous people and who ordered these people to seize the formula of the Immortal Water.

Chu Xun shifted his gaze to Azure Dragon and others, who immediately felt nervous and frightened.

…

“Who ordered you to seize the formula of the Immortal Water?” Chu Xun asked in a flat tone.

Azure Dragon and others kept silent. They knew the answer but they could not speak it out because they were not allowed to.

“Aren’t you afraid of being killed?” Chu Xun’s tone turned fiercer.

Azure Dragon had a bitter expression on his face at the moment. He was a Grandmaster, but he was so depressed that he gave up struggling.

“Yes, we’re afraid of being killed, but we can’t tell you. We must follow our rule,” Azure Dragon said in a bitter tone.

His words might sound hidebound, but it showed that they held their belief strongly.

“Go back and tell your boss I will hunt him wherever he goes.”

After saying this, Chu Xun jumped over the wall and disappeared.

Azure Dragon and others did not let out a sigh of relief until now, and they felt as if a stone had been moved from their chests.

Chu Xun put too much pressure on them.

“He is so scary!” Green Snake pat her own plump breast and said in fear.

Among the members of the 12 Chinese Zodiacs, only Green Snake, Jade Rabbit, and Sheep were women.

“He looks so young, yet his power is so frightening. I felt breathless just now,” Sheep said in a soft tone of fear.

Jade Rabbit nodded and agreed, and the artificial rabbit ears she wore shook with her movement, looking very cute.

“Dragon, what do you think about that man?” War Tiger’s voice was deep and low. Among them, he was the most warlike one and crazy about fighting. However, when facing Chu Xun just now, he did not have any killing intent.

Azure Dragon pondered for a moment and his eyes glittered. “His power is unfathomable, and I think he is a Third Grade Grandmaster at least.”

There were nine grades of Grandmasters. Bothe Azure Dragon and Cancer, who died, were First Grade Grandmasters.

On hearing Azure Dragon’s words, others all looked terrified. It appeared frightening to them that such a young man was a Third Grade Grandmaster.

Golden Monkey’s expression suddenly changed as he said in a worried tone, “Oh, no! Mouse and Silly Piggy are still there. Since that man killed Immortal Master Gao and Lion, could he have killed Mouse and Silly Piggy…”

Before Golden Monkey finished his words, others all changed their expressions.

Clang!

The door of the yard was suddenly burst open, and two figures rushed in.

“Mouse, Silly Piggy!”

Golden Monkey shouted in surprise.

The fat and skinny figures that rushed in were exactly the mouse-like man and the fat man.

Looking at the corpses all over the floor, they looked shocked, and when they saw that Cancer’s head was cut off his body, they were scared.

“Are you alright, the two of you?” Azure Dragon asked them.

Seeing that the two came back safe and sound, the people present all felt relieved.

“We’re fine.” Mouse shook his head and glanced at the corpses with fear in his eyes. He then turned to look at Azure Dragon and other people and asked, “Are you guys alright?”

“Yes, we’re fine!” Azure Dragon shook his head and replied.

“No, I don’t feel good. I’m almost scared to death. The two of you didn’t see that all these experts at the ninth level of the Acquired Realm were killed by one blow. It was so scary…” Green Snake yelled in a charming voice.

“Yes, yes, I agree.” Jade Rabbit nodded and agreed.

Mouse and Silly Piggy, the fat man and the mouse-like man, looked at each other and showed a bitter smile at the same time.

The fat man told them what he and the mouse-like man had seen in highly-colored details.

On hearing his words, everyone was petrified.

They could believe their ears when they heard that Immortal Master Gao was beaten to death by someone with a hammer.

Thinking of the scene made them feel terrified.

“We offended a tough guy this time.” Mouse still felt scared when thinking of what had happened.

“Fortunately, the two of you did not go hard with Chen Hanlong. Well done, Silly Piggy.” Azure Dragon wiped off his cold sweat as he stared at the corpses all over the ground.

“It was they who offended a though guy.” Golden Monkey looked at the corpses and paused for a while before continuing, “However, the even didn’t have any chance to yell out their pain.”

“Well, let’s stop talking about this topic. It’s too horrifying,” Sheep said in a soft voice.

“Silly Piggy, do you know that handsome man’s name?” Green Snake suddenly asked.

“Yeah, he is so strong.” Jade Rabbit nodded her head, and her artificial rabbit ears shook more happily.

Mouse shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

“I heard Chen Hanlong call him—sir,” said the fat man.

Green Snake lost her interest in the topic and replied, “That’s not a name at all. Every man could be addressed like that.”

“Alright. We should leave this place as soon as possible. Let’s go back to the capital and make a report.” War Tiger’s voice sounded hoarse. He looked at the corpses with a complicated expression and continued, “Let’s bring them with us.”

“Why? I think we should just burn them into ashes,” the fat man said in a tone of disgust.

The members of the 12 Chinese Zodiacs left the place safely.

Big fire flared in the yard behind them, and there were crackling sounds.

The fire did not die out until two hours later. The yard and the corpses of Cancer and his teammates were burned into ashes.

…

…

After he left the place, Chu Xun returned to Qianlong Mount Villas directly.

Mo Xinghe called him saying that he had finished cleaning up the site.

Chu Xun didn’t go back during the last two months, so the villa was full of dense spiritual energy now.

However, Chu Xun was in no mood to cultivate.

He realized from the incident that his subordinates and friends were too weak and that he could not protect all of them at the same time. Thus, he thought it was time for him to teach them some cultivation methods.

Chu Xun spent three hours motionlessly in considering how to protect his subordinates and friends from harm.

He could not trust all of them and the cultivation methods should not be exposed easily, so he decided to teach those who he trusted some cultivation methods.

Besides, the request for cultivation was every harsh, so not all the people were fit to cultivate.

…

At the same time, an airplane for special use landed in the airport of Yanjing City.

Azure Dragon and his teammates got off the plane.

The 12 of them left the airplane through special accesses.

“You guys go back to the base first. I have some affairs to handle and I’ll go back soon.”

After saying those words, Azure Dragon left in a hurry.

…

There was a quadrangle dwelling with white walls and red tiles in the suburban district of Yanjing City.

Red flowers and green willows could be seen both inside and outside the yard, forming a vigorous scene.

In the yard, an old man with grey hair and beard was lopping a plant so cautiously as if he were fondling his beloved woman.

Sometimes, the old man’s sharp eyes would observe around, showing his strong aura casually.

Suddenly, the old man looked toward the door and murmured to himself, “Steps unsteady, short of breath. It seems that something happened, and I’ll be bothered.”

As soon as his voice fell, a figure appeared in the old man’s sight. It was no other than Azure Dragon, who had parted other members of the 12 Chinese Zodiacs at the airport.

“Master!”

Azure Dragon bowed to the old man respectfully.

The old man answered the voice and continued to lop the plant.

“Master, I have something important to tell you,” Azure Dragon said in a serious tone.

After cutting off the last withered branch, the old man stopped lopping the plant and walked to sit by a stone table. He made himself a cup of tea and took a sip, muttering, “You always said that you had something important to tell me when you came to me, but they all turned out to be trifles.”

“Master, the person Elder Ancestor looked for showed up.”

“Oh!” the old man responded indifferently, but soon, he suddenly spat out the tea in his mouth and stood up, asked with a surprised look, “What did you say?”

Azure Dragon was startled by the old man’s reaction. He replied hurriedly, “I met a man when carrying out my mission. He is very similar to the man Elder Ancestor looked for.”

“Go ahead!” the old man said in a hurry.

Azure Dragon told the old man what he had experienced without missing a single word.

The old man looked very excited after hearing the words. “You can’t feel any fluctuation of Internal Breath from him but he is very powerful. Yes, he meets all the requests for the person Elder Ancestor looked for…”

“Master, what did you say?” Azure Dragon asked subconsciously for he did not catch the words.

“Well, you won’t understand even if I explain it to you. Tell me quickly, where is he?”

“He should be in Gujiang City, but I don’t know the specific location.”

Azure Dragon answered frankly, but the old man rolled his eyes at the answer with anger.

“Get everything prepared. I’ll go to Gujiang City.” The old man could no longer sit there calmly and wanted to have a look himself.

“Master, are you going to find that man?” Azure Dragon asked.

“Is there any problem with that?” the old man asked.

“Master, he is a cruel man and killed all the members of the 12 Constellations. I’m afraid the seniors would not let him off,” Azure Dragon said in a low voice. His heart trembled when he thought of how that man killed so many experts at the ninth level of the Acquired Realm with one blow.

The old man was dazed, but he soon grumbled, “Tell them not to take any action until I come back. If anyone dares to act recklessly, I’ll break his neck.”

“Master…”

“Stop calling me like that, I’m not dead. Prepare a trip for me quickly, and I’ll come back soon.”

After saying this, the old man crossed over ten meters in the blink of an eye as if he could fly.

…

At the moment, Chu Xun was still thinking about how to protect his subordinates and friends. As it would take a long time for them to master the cultivation methods, Chu Xun tried to come up with some quicker methods.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He got an idea.

As a man of action, Chu Xun immediately started his plan. He drove to the antique mall.

House of Treasure!

It was the second time that Chu Xun went there.

As soon as he walked in, a servant came to him with a warm smile.

“I want to see Hong Ling.” Chu Xun spoke out his intention.

The servant was a little surprised, but he still nodded his head and walked into the inner room.

A moment later, there were sounds of high heels knocking on the floor as a charming figure appeared from the back of the shop.

Hong Ling pushed her red, long, and curly hair back, and she looked so stunning that the customers in the shop all looked at her with a stunned expression.

“Sister Hong, this gentleman wanted to see you,” the servant said.

Hong Ling looked up and his smile froze on her face when she saw Chu Xun, but soon, she regained her composure and walked to him quickly. “Mr. Chu,” she said in a respectful tone.

Her bright eyes were full of curiosity for she did not know Chu Xun’s intention.

He took Chu Xun to the inner hall, and this time, there was nobody else except them. Chu Xun remembered when he first came there, he met Warm Jade.

However, small auctions like that one would not be held every day, and would be held twice every month at most.

Hong Ling made Chu Xun a cup of tea and asked, “What can I do for you, Mr. Chu?”

“We’re in your territory, so don’t be overcautious. You behaved like I’m the host,” Chu Xun said with a smile and waved his hand, signaling Hong Ling to sit down.

Hong Ling felt she was wronged. She could not help but be overcautious when she saw Chu Xun, because he was too powerful, could kill human beings as easily as killing chickens, and possessed magic skills. As a result, it was strong of her to not run away from him.

“Mr. Chu, if you’d like to, you can own this territory at any time you want,” Hong Ling sat down and said seriously.

Back when they were in Bauhinia Casino, she said that she wanted to follow his lead, but he didn’t show up again, so she had to give up the idea at that time.

Chu Xun was stunned. He smiled and thought to himself, “Why did the words sound like I’m a robber?”

“Forget about it. I know nothing about business.” Chu Xun refused, waving his hands, trying to reassure her, lest she thought too much.

As he expected, Hong Ling let out a sigh of relief. She had run House of Treasure for many years, so she was not really willing to give the shop to Chu Xun.

“Then, why did you come here, Mr. Chu?” Hong Ling was curious about Chu Xun’s intention. She had thought that Chu Xun went there to seize the shop.

“I need you to find me some gems, gems of the best quality. The more, the better,” said Chu Xun.

“Don’t worry, I’ll pay you. I’ll have someone bring you the money later,” Chu Xun added.

Hong Ling woke up from deep thoughts. It seemed that Chu Xun misunderstood her when she remained silent. “Mr. Chu, please don’t get me wrong. I was not thinking about money. I just recalled that several days ago, someone deposited some pieces of precious jade material in the opposite antique pavilion. I heard both the quality and color of the material are top-level.”
