The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 509 A Storm on the Way

In the space constructed of Elf Divine Trees, Chu Xun and the Queen of Elves admired each other for their cultivation levels, but they fought without hesitation at the same time.

Chu Xun dodged the Enchanted Shaft, and the Queen of Elves fought with Chu Xun head on relying on her profound cultivation.

Chu Xun was holding the Roaring Dragon in his left hand and the Tweeting Phoenix in his right hand, and the little purple figure in his body was emanating bright purple light. His Qi was soaring.

The more the Queen of Elves fought, the more frightened she became. Chu Xun’s Internal Breath seemed to be inexhaustible and infinite. However, the Queen of Elves had consumed a large amount of her Internal Breath.

Buzz!

The Hong Meng Immortal Qi was swirling wildly around Chu Xun. His fist was shining like the blazing sun, and its energy waves were surging.

Boom!

There came a terrifying, deafening sound of an explosion, and cracks appeared on the space boundary wall. The Queen of Elves was sent flying and smashed into the space boundary wall.

Chu Xun followed her like a shadow, and his fist energy was rumbling like thunder. He did not show any mercy at all.

The Queen of Elves was shocked. It was not because her cultivation level was not as high as Chu Xun’s. It was just that Chu Xun’s Qi became even stronger as he fought, but she found it difficult to hold on because her Internal Breath was being consumed too fast.

The looks on the faces of the Sacred Maidens Su Wei’er, Su Lianyi, and others outside the space changed abruptly because they could clearly feel Chu Xun’s coldness.

Chu Xun threw a punch, and purple light burst out from his fist, sweeping like a tide and filling the entire space.

The Queen of Elves performed her cultivated skills desperately. She knew that her effort was somewhat futile, but she did not want to stay still and wait passively for death.

Puff!

The terrifying attack launched by Chu Xun suddenly disappeared.

Chu Xun froze for a moment and then realized that it was an Elf Divine Tree that messed things up.

“Chu Xun, I’m so glad to see you again.” A tender branch was glowing with hazy green light. It was the voice of the Spirit of the Divine Tree.

“Do you know that I have been trapped for fifty years because of her?” Chu Xun’s tone was calm and emotionless. “Are you going to protect her?”

“Chu Xun, let her go. She knows that you won’t let it go easily if you come out. Therefore, she has tried to make up for her mistake,” said the Spirit of the Divine Tree.

“Make it up?” Chu Xun sneered. “I want to know what she has done to make it up to me. Does she burn incense and pray for me every day? Has she insincerely told you that she made me suffer because she had no other choice?”

“I know you must be holding a grudge because you’ve been trapped for fifty years, ” the Spirit of the Divine Tree said, “but she has really tried her best to make it up to you. Thirty years ago, Flaming Qilin got seriously injured and returned to the Elf race, but you were trapped. It was she that came out and saved your woman.”

The look in Chu Xun’s eyes suddenly became ice-cold. “What happened?”

“Ask her about the details,” said the Spirit of the Divine Tree.

Chu Xun looked at the Queen of Elves coldly. “Did you come out and save my woman?”

The Queen of Elves nodded slightly.

“What on earth happened?”

The Queen of Elves told him everything that had happened.

“You got trapped because of me, but I saved your woman. So we are even now, aren’t we?” said the Queen of Elves.

“If I hadn’t gotten trapped because of you, my woman wouldn’t have fallen into that dangerous situation.” The look in Chu Xun’s eyes was ice-cold. “I hate self-righteous people like you the most.”

Boom!

Suddenly, Chu Xun produced something and hurled it out. Shining with a cold silvery light, it flew toward the Queen of Elves.

Swoosh!

The Elf Divine Tree made a move again. A branch swept crossed the air at the thing that Chu Xun hurled out.

Click!

This time the branch failed to stop the silvery light because the Stellar Core that Chu Xun hurled out directly smashed the branch into pieces.

The Queen of Elves was so shocked that her face turned pale. With her Internal Breath circulating through her body, she slammed her palms at the Stellar Core coming at her.

Boom!

The blast waves rolled, and the Queen of Elves let out a muffled groan. She was sent flying and smashed into the boundary wall again. She coughed up a mouthful of blood.

“Chu Xun, have mercy,” said the Spirit of the Divine Tree.

“Chu Xun, please don’t hurt my master.” The pretty face of the Sacred Maiden Su Wei’er turned pale. She directly knelt down to Chu Xun and implored.

The elves outside the space all knelt down.

Chu Xun looked at the Queen of Elves with his cold, sharp eyes and said, “I will spare your life, not because of their pleading, but because you have saved my woman.”

According to Chu Xun’s temperament, anyone bearing malice toward him must be eliminated thoroughly. However, the Queen of Elves had saved Jing Hong and Hua Qingwu, and Chu Xun had always been clear-headed when it came to matters of gratitude and resentment. For this reason, he only injured the Queen of Elves and spared her life.

Moreover, he was unable to kill the Queen of Elves in the presence of the Elf Divine Tree. Even Emperor Ao didn’t dare to say that he could easily defeat a formidable Elf Divine Tree.

Chu Xun messaged the Spirit of the Divine Tree to unlock the space. He rushed out directly and with his divine sense sweeping through the air, he disappeared in a flash.

In the easternmost part of the Elf Forest, there was an orchard shrouded in thick fog. Although it was called an orchard, there were only three golden fruit trees.

Chu Xun moved as fast as lightning. He crossed the air, passed through the thick fog, and appeared in the orchard.

Each of the three golden fruit trees was laden with a dozen fresh fruits giving off sweet and refreshing scents.

They were one of the Elf race’s holy treasures, the Arcane Fruits.

Chu Xun raised his hand and waved it. An invisible force blew through the branches and leaves of a fruit tree. He plucked all the Arcane Fruits from this tree.

However, when he was about to pluck Arcane Fruits from another tree, a branch swept across the air and wrapped itself around him.

Chu Xun knew it was a Spirit of the Divine Tree again, but no matter how hard he struggled, he just couldn’t break free from this branch.

The Spirit of the Divine Tree was sober, and it recovered its energy very quickly.

Chu Xun knew that since the Spirit of the Divine Tree had taken action to stop him, it would be impossible for him to pluck more Arcane Fruits, so he gave up struggling.

“Chu Xun, you can’t do this. Arcane Fruits are the foundation of the Elf race. If you pluck and take all of them away, the Elf rice will fall because of a lack of resources,” said the Spirit of the Divine Tree.

“Does this have anything to do with me? I saved the Elf race, but I have been trapped for fifty years. Shouldn’t I get some compensation?” Chu Xun was still angry.

“I can compensate you with something else.” After the Spirit of the Divine Tree finished speaking, a dozen jade boxes appeared in front of Chu Xun.

Chu Xun was slightly surprised, but soon he came to know what they were. Back then, he gave these jade boxes to the Spirit of the Divine Tree and asked it to help him collect pollens.

He opened one of the jade boxes. There was indeed the pollen of an alien fruit in it.

At this time, a dozen green fruits appeared, glowing with green light.

“These are the ever-young fruits. They may come in handy,” said the Spirit of the Divine Tree.

Chu Xun stayed silent for a good long while, and then he put away the fruits in front of him and sighed softly. “Please see me off.”

The Elf Divine Tree saw Chu Xun to the entrance of the valley.

“Chu Xun, are we still friends?” asked the Elf Divine Tree.

Chu Xun was in a trance for a moment, and the anger in his heart was dissipating quickly. In fact, even if he were at the Nascent Soul Stage now, it would still be very easy for the Spirit of the Divine Tree to kill him.

However, the Spirit of the Divine Tree had not taken any action on him from the time he injured the Queen of Elves to when he plucked the Arcane Fruits.

The Spirit of the Divine Tree was inexperienced and naive. She would feel happy for a long time if he simply chatted with her.

Chu Xun could sense that the Spirit of the Divine Tree felt attached to him, couldn’t bear to let him go, and didn’t want to hurt him.

“Yes, we will always be friends.” Chu Xun chuckled.

“Chu Xun, thank you for being my friend.” The voice of the Spirit of the Divine Tree was full of joy.

“Thank you for being willing to be my friend.” Chu Xun gave a soft smile.

“Will you come back to see me again?”

Chu Xun nodded and said, “Yes, I will. I will come back to see you after I finish taking care of things.”

“Can you bring some tablets to me?”

“No problem!” Chu Xun smiled his agreement.

Perhaps the tablets loaded with movies and dramas he gave to the Spirit of the Divine Tree back then had long been broken. After all, fifty years had passed.

Gujiang City had become an empty city.

This was the decision of Jing Hong and Hua Qingwu.

When immortals fought, mortals suffered. Ordinary people could only suffer.

Jing Lei and his companions were bloodthirsty killers. They never cared whether their antagonists were warriors or ordinary people. Wherever they went, they carried out ruthless laughter.

Since they came to the Earth, they had already slaughtered the people in ten cities in a very short time. Tens of millions of civilians had died by their hands.

To prevent the people of Gujiang City from being slaughtered, Jing Hong, Hua Qingwu, and the others discussed with the troops stationed in the city, and the latter agreed and temporarily withdrew from Gujiang City.

Gujiang City had become an empty city now. Only Jing Hong, Hua Qingwu, and Jiu You had stayed.

Although Jing Lei and his companions might not be able to break the magic formation set by Chu Xun, they still wanted to break the formation and save Wu Keyin. Therefore, the three of them had to be prepared, just in case.

Back then, Chu Xun transformed Wu Keyin into an ever-burning lamp for two purposes. One purpose was to take revenge, and the other purpose was to deter the alien races.

Moreover, the plan worked very well. Since Wu Keyin was transformed into an ever-burning lamp, the alien races had lied low for several decades, not daring to show up.

However, fifty years had passed, and although people had not forgotten the name “Chu the Devil”, its deterrence was much weaker than before.

However, as long as no one could prove that Chu Xun was really dead, then the name “Chu the Devil” would still hover about the Assembly of Immortals and alien races like a giant stone, deterring them from acting with impunity.

If the people from the Assembly of Immortals rescued Wu Keyin and took him away, the deterrence of the name “Chu the Devil” would completely disappear.

Jing Hong, Hua Qingwu, and Jiu You would never let such a thing happen.

The three of them stood on the highest building in Gujiang City, waiting for the people of the Assembly of Immortals to come and save their man.

Before they arrived, Flaming Qilin and Yan Wushuang came first.

Now there were five masters at the Immortal Level guarding Gujiang City and waiting for the people of the Assembly of Immortals.

The weather changed suddenly. Dark clouds covered the clear sky, and the wind was whistling.

A storm was on the way.

The people of the Assembly of Immortals came.

Besides Jing Lei and his four companions, there were three persons more people who had come along. These three persons were far more renowned than Jing Lei and the others now.

The looks on the faces of Jing Hong and the others all became serious. It was all because of one of the comers. This person was wearing a suit of golden armor and holding a long golden spear in his hand. His appearance was a bit rough, but his vibe was very terrifying. He was Kuang Zhan.

Besides him, there were two old acquaintances of Flaming Qilin, Shang Wu and Gu Yifeng.

If the comers were only Jing Lei and his four companions, the fight would be a bloody one. However, there were Kuang Zhan and the other two persons, it would surely be a dead-or-alive fight. The Chosen Ones of the Assembly of Immortals would be alive, and they would be dead.

This time, the people of the Assembly of Immortals came prepared. They were determined to break the formation set by Chu Xun and save Wu Keyin.

“We have no chance of winning this fight. You can leave now. There’s no need to sacrifice your lives,” said Jing Hong, looking at Flaming Qilin and Yan Wushuang.

Yan Wushuang laughed wildly. He was not afraid of disturbing the people of the Assembly of Immortals at all. He looked at Jing Hong and said loudly, “Don’t underestimate me. Although Chu Xun’s moral standing is not good, I can’t just watch those bastards of the Assembly of Immortals ruin his reputation. What’s more, I have a feeling that we are not going to die.”

Yan Wushuang’s words resonated with Flaming Qilin. “You’re right. Although Chu the Devil has a very bad moral standing, he is a hero when it comes to killing bastards. He can’t free himself now, and I can’t bear to watch those bastards from the Assembly of Immortals bully his woman. The Qilin race has never been afraid of anyone. This fight——I will fight to the death without regrets!”

“Haha...” Yan Wushuang laughed wildly, and his heroic spirit soared. He pointed his long sword at the Chosen Ones of the Assembly of Immortals and said wildly, “It takes great courage to fight to the death without regrets. If we can survive this time, I will surely have a drink with you. Should we die on the battlefield, let’s ask the King of Hell to give us some wine to drink.”
