The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 682 The So-called Fiends Are Actually the People of the Earth

Ma Yanchen thought that Chu Xun was mocking him on purpose.

However, Chu Xun said, “What’s the use of you, trash? Look carefully.”

Chu Xun took out a jade box and a few different spiritual fruits. He ran his cultivation to refine the spiritual fruit and let the juice fall into the jade box.

Next, a flame appeared and heated the top half of the jade box. The inside of the box sounded and emitted rolling white mist.

Not long later, Chu Xun removed the raging flame and used the ice to wrap the jade box.

He fiddled with the wine for a while. Then, the smell of wine really spread.

“Trash Ma, did you see that? This is wine made from fruit. You should learn to make it, and you can use the method if you go to travel in the future,” Chu Xun said.

Ma Yanchen was so angry. “We’re hunting the Fiends, not traveling.”

“Look. You have to admit that you’re trash. You have to be calm when hunting the Fiends. What’s wrong with the Fiends? If we beat them, they will get injured. If they bleed, they may die. Just relax. With me taking care of you, this is just a journey,” Chu Xun said while eating the meat and drinking the fruit wine.

Ma Yanchen was furious. He swore that if anyone asked him who he hated most in his life, his answer was Liu Tianhe. He would never change his mind.

Everyone thought that Chu Xun was joking. They didn’t expect that he really took the hunting of Fiends as a journey. He either barbecued or went into the mountains to pick magical flowers and herbs on the way.

“If we go like this, the other forces may finish killing before we come to the Fiends,” Ma Yanchen said. His companions also agreed. Some of the other forces had already killed quite a few Fiends.

“Trash, do you still remember what I said?” Chu Xun scolded him in the tone of an elder, “What is our purpose? Whatever useful we see, get them. Have you forgotten the Three Alls Strategy I said? Whoever we meet, we should take away their stone tablets so that we don’t have to kill the Fiends ourselves.”

“Not only should we fight for first, but we also need to kill the Fiends to train ourselves,” Ma Yanchen said.

Chu Xun said, “I would have forgotten it if you hadn’t reminded me. You’re still useful, Trash Ma. Stop talking nonsense here. Let’s move forward with all our strength.”

Ma Yanchen’s face darkened. He swore he would kill Chu Xun once his cultivation exceeded Chu Xun’s.

The group of people quickened their pace.

“Look!” A disciple of the Ma Family suddenly pointed at the sky and yelled.

Everyone looked up and saw a line of clear words appear in the air.

It was the Vanquishing Fiends List.

The first place belonged to Wang Yunzhe, and his Vanquishing Fiends Count was 43.

The second place belonged to Xue Yanming, and his Vanquishing Fiends Count was 39.

The third place belonged to He Yijun, and his Vanquishing Fiends Count was 35.

The details of the top 10 all showed up.

“Do you know these people?” Chu Xun asked.

Ma Yanchen answered, “Wang Yunzhe is a member of the Wang Family and is as famous as me. I don’t know the others.”

“Let’s find Wang Yunzhe and rob him first,” Chu Xun said.

Everyone had a strange expression on their faces. Was Chu Xun really going to implement the Three Alls Strategy?

All of them continued forward.

Chu Xun frowned slightly. There was a smell of blood.

Sure enough. Not long after, everyone saw that the ground was littered with corpses. There were roughly more than 20 people.

“The blood hasn’t dried up yet. The battle hasn’t stopped for long,” Ma Yanchen said.

Chu Xun looked at the corpses. They were all young and strong men, and their clothes were slightly rough.

“Which family are these people from? It seems that the Fiends are not easy to deal with, and so many people of other forces have died.” Chu Xun gloated. There was no foul aura on these people, so they should be from those big forces.

“These are the Fiends,” Ma Yanchen said.

“Are you sure?” Chu Xun was slightly stunned. “Are you blind, Trash Ma? They are obviously human beings, just like us.”

“That’s right. They are humans, but we address them as the Fiends.”

“What do you mean?” Chu Xun frowned. For some reason, he felt inexplicably panicky.

“These people are all the earth residents. They were kidnapped in the ancient times and imprisoned here,” Ma Yanchen said.

“Earth residents?”

Hearing these words, Chu Xun’s heart suddenly trembled, and his aura became violent. He clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white.

“The Fiends you mentioned are actually from the earth?” Chu Xun gritted his teeth and asked with the last hope in his heart.

“That’s right. There are no Fiends here at all. The so-called Fiends are the earth residents. We call them Fiends because both they and we look the same. We need some stimulation to kill them more heartily.”

“Are you tempering yourselves with the earth people?”

“That’s right. The people on the earth were low but tough. They are more suitable for training than the Fiends. When I came in to hunt last time, even teens didn’t fear death. We came to the right place this time. Let’s use these people to practice first. When we get to the earth, we will get used to killing.”

Chu Xun’s breath was in disorder, and he felt a burst of pain in his heart. These beasts actually treated the earth residents as whetstones.

It turned out that the so-called Fiends were his comrade.

Chu Xun’s eyes were red, and his heart was filled with killing intent. He wanted to kill these beasts.

“The Assembly of Immortals is truly vicious.”

Everyone felt that Chu Xun’s breath was strange, and his killing intent was terrifying. They thought that he was excited because of hearing about the earth residents, so they didn’t pay much attention to him.

“Continue to go forward.” Chu Xun felt sad in his heart. He swore secretly that none of the Chosen Ones of the Assembly of Immortals who came in this time would be able to get out alive.

An hour later, Chu Xun encountered another group of people.

The other party was also about a hundred people, resting beside a stream. The water of the stream turned red. Not far from them, more than 20 bodies were lying in disorder.

They were all the earth residents who had been killed.

The other party also saw Chu Xun and his companions.

One of them shouted from afar. “Which force are you from?”

“I’m Ma Yanchen of the Ma Family in the Eastern Region,” Ma Yanchen said arrogantly.

At this time, one of the young men with extremely powerful cultivation and the smell of blood stood up and cupped his hands. His cultivation was not inferior to Ma Yanchen’s. He said, “I’m Bai Haihan from the Sect of Holy Fire in the Western Region.”

Chu Xun almost couldn’t suppress the killing intent in his heart. He looked up and found that the ranking list in the air had changed a long time ago. For example, Wang Yunzhe ranked first, and his Vanquishing Fiends Count was 87 now.

Bai Haihan was ranked ninth, and his Vanquishing Fiends Count was 36.

It meant that he had killed 36 of the earth residents.

Ma Yanchen cupped his fist, wanting to signal everyone to keep walking.

However, Chu Xun said, “Let him roll over and hand over his stone tablet.”

“It...” Ma Yanchen was put in a difficult position. There were cases of people fighting over the stone tablets, but they would only do so when the exit was about to open. Right now, the Vanquishing Fiends Count was not high, so there wouldn’t be any conflicts.

“As I said, whatever useful we see, get them. Ask them to come over and hand over their stone tablets with both hands. If they dare to refuse, kill them without mercy,” Chu Xun said coldly.

Ma Yanchen’s face was full of embarrassment. Chu Xun was doing this in the interests of the Ma Family, but he didn’t want to start an internal war so early. Even if he won, it would be hard for him to explain it to the other families when he got out of here.

“Get out of my way, trash.” Chu Xun stood up from the sedan chair with a cold face. He pointed at Bai Haihan and said coldly, “You, get over here. Hand over your stone tablet with both hands. If you dare to refuse, you will die!”

His voice swept out like a tide, shocking everyone and causing the ground to tremble.
