The Immortal Emperor Returns - Chapter 519

Chapter 519 Another Visit to the Seal of the Subterranean Devils Clan!

Although Chu Xun had averted the crisis for the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy, more than half of its people had been killed or injured, which was a serious damage to its foundation.

The blood and corpses in the courtyard had been cleaned up.

“Mr. Yue, why don’t you move the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy to Qianlong Mountain?” Chu Xun said.

Yue Fandie shook his head. Although he knew the matter of life and death very well, he still found it difficult to let it go when he thought of the violent death of so many elders and disciples.

“The tombs of those elders and disciples who have died for the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy are right here. I have to guard them.”

Chu Xun nodded. He could understand how Yue Fandie was feeling. “They are all brave people. They haven’t brought shame upon the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy.”

Yue Fandie nodded. “You’re right. They are brave people who have defended the dignity of the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy at the cost of their own lives. They are dead now, so I have to guard them.”

“Bro, you’ve been missing for fifty years. Why did you suddenly come to the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy?” Yue Fandie said curiously.

“In fact, I have been out for some time.”

Yue Fandie seemed to have thought of something. Shocked, he said, “Some Chosen Ones of the Assembly of Immortals were killed in Gujiang City. Did you do that?”

Chu Xun nodded.

Yue Fandie’s face beamed with admiration. “In fact, I should have known that you did it. It’s just that I’m not sure, because you have disappeared for so long.”

“Mr. Yue, I came here to visit the seal of the Subterranean Devils Clan again.” Chu Xun told Yue Fandie everything about his encounter with the doppelganger of the Fifth Fiend Lord of the Subterranean Devils Clan in the Elf race.

Yue Fandie looked serious. “Are you worried that the Subterranean Devils Clan has other tricks up their sleeve?”

Chu Xun nodded his head slightly. He was indeed worried about this. If the Subterranean Devils Clan came out at this time, the Earth would be in a state of complete disorder and confusion, and he would have to struggle to deal with it.

He needed fifty years to collect all the raw materials for the Life Extension Elixir.

“Well, when are you planning to get down there?” Yue Fandie asked.

“Right now!”

In fact, the Hall of Tetrarchy had a secret mechanism that was controlled by Yue Fandie.

Last time, Chu Xun’s soul left his body. This time, Chu Xun’s body would go down there, so Yue Fandie opened the secret mechanism of the seal.

Boom! Boom!

The ground was shaking, and the Tetrarchy Cauldron was giving off hazy light. The ground suddenly caved in, revealing a dark hole.

The Tetrarchy Cauldron began to shine with bright light, floating in the middle of the hole.

“Bro, be careful,” Yue Fandie said.

Chu Xun nodded, grabbed the half-crippled Mu Ziran with his hand, and plunged into the hole.

Yue Fandie and his four sons stood guard at the entrance to the Hall of Tetrarchy.

Chu Xun sent out his divine sense and descended rapidly. He had been there once, so the way down there was familiar to him.

He rushed in from the seal directly, grabbing Mu Ziran in his hand. Exactly speaking, he was sucked in by the vortex.

Clank!

The Cold Steel Chains clanked. Wen Yuchen stared at Chu Xun.

“Brat, is it you?” Wen Yuchen recognized Chu Xun, looking a little surprised.

“Mr. Wen, it’s been decades since we last met. Look at you now. You should have gotten rid of all the foul aura.” Chu Xun was surprised because Wen Yuchen’s aura was so strong. Although he was at the Initial Nascent Soul Level now, he was still surprised at the aura that Wen Yuchen inadvertently showed.

“I have to thank you for that. If it weren’t for you, I would have been invaded by the Poison of Fire and become a devil.” Wen Yuchen laughed loudly.

“You should have recovered your cultivation level to the peak, right?” Chu Xun asked with a smile.

Wen Yuchen shook his head. “I can’t do it that fast, but I have recovered it by sixty to seventy percent.”

Chu Xun was shocked again. He casually asked, “May I know what your cultivation level is now?”

Wen Yuchen was straightforward. “I already set foot in the High Immortal Realm back then.”

Chu Xun nodded silently. “That makes sense. Otherwise, he would not have been qualified to guard the seal of the Subterranean Devils Clan.”

“Bro, you have improved your cultivation level a lot. Why can’t I figure out your cultivation level?” Wen Yuchen was a little surprised. He could feel that Chu Xun was very powerful, but he just couldn’t figure out his cultivation level.

Chu Xun smiled. “It would be strange if he could figure out my cultivation level. I’m not even a cultivator now. The Hong Meng Scripture is a path that no one has ever walked. Even I have no idea what will happen in the future.”

“I’d better not mention my cultivation level in front of you. Otherwise, I will be humiliating myself,” Chu Xun said with a smile on his face.

However, Wen Yuchen didn’t think this way. “Bro, I can tell that your bone age is less than 100 years, but I feel your cultivation level is very high. I dare say there is not a man of your age who has a cultivation level higher than yours.”

Chu Xun smiled. He did not want to spend more time talking about this.

Wen Yuchen looked at Mu Ziran and asked in confusion, “Who is this?”

“A Chosen One of the Assembly of Immortals.” Chu Xun threw Mu Ziran to the ground in front of Wen Yuchen.

Wen Yuchen stared at Mu Ziran, and his aura began to become violent.

“Mr. Wen, he is going to die soon.” Chu Xun reminded him. Wen Yuchen’s aura was so oppressive that Mu Ziran began to show the whites of his eyes.

Wen Yuchen was a little stunned, but he immediately withdrew his oppressive aura and stared at Mu Ziran. “Let me ask you a question. Which family of the Assembly of Immortals are you from?”

The householder of the Mu family had just reached the High Immortal Realm for a short time. Facing such a person, Mu Ziran was so scared that he almost passed out.

“I… I’m from the Mu family of the Assembly of Immortals,” Mu Ziran answered, trembling.

“The Mu family?” Wen Yuchen frowned and murmured to himself. “I’ve never heard of the Mu family in the Assembly of Immortals.”

“Mr. Wen, the Assembly of Immortals sent a total of 15 people over this time. As far as I know, among these 15 people, nobody is from any of the families you mentioned,” Chu Xun said.

Wen Yuchen remained silent. After a long while, he stared at Mu Ziran and asked, “Have you ever heard of the Yuan, Ma, Gu, and Wen families?”

Mu Ziran thought about it for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he looked astounded.

“Speak.” Wen Yuchen roared angrily when he saw Mu Ziran’s reaction.

Scared and trembling, Mu Ziran hurriedly said, “If you are asking about the three overlords of the Assembly of Immortals, I do know about them.”

“The three overlords?” Wen Yuchen was a little surprised. “Tell me everything in detail. If you miss a word, I’ll grind your bones into dust.”

“The Ma family in the eastern region, the Gu family in the western region, and the Yuan family in the southern region are the most powerful families of the Assembly of Immortals. They have existed for tens of millions of years and have great power. The Mu family is attached to the Gu family.” Mu Ziran spoke as fast as he could.

“What about the most powerful family in the northern region? Is it the Wen family?” Wen Yuchen asked.

Mu Ziran shook his head. “The northern region is under the control of the Wang family.”

“What about the Wen family?” Wen Yuchen asked anxiously.

Mu Ziran thought about it for a long time and then shook his head. “I have never heard of the Wen family.”

“That’s impossible!” Wen Yuchen shouted angrily. “Back then, the Yuan, Gu, Ma, and Wen families formed an alliance. The other three families still exist. What about the Wen family? That’s my family.”

“Did you hide something from me?” Chu Xun asked, staring at Mu Ziran.

Mu Ziran was so scared that he trembled. Compared with Wen Yuchen, Chu Xun made him feel more scared. He said in a trembling voice, “What I said is true. I swear, I swear in the name of the entire Mu family. If I tell a lie, the entire Mu family will be doomed to immediate destruction.”

Although his oath was insubstantial, no one dared to swear such a blood oath without absolute confidence.

It seemed that Mu Ziran didn’t lie, and Chu Xun did not find any signs showing that Mu Ziran lied.

“Perhaps something bad has really happened to the Wen family.”

Both Chu Xun and Wen Yuchen thought of this possibility. The latter’s aura began to grow violent again.

Bang!

Before Mu Ziran could even scream, the violent, oppressive aura of Wen Yuchen had torn him into pieces and turned him into blood mist.

Chu Xun swiftly leaped out and landed on the ground thousands of meters away.

“That’s impossible. The Wen family is so powerful. Nothing bad should have happened to it.” Wen Yuchen roared furiously.

Boom!

He smashed a huge stone weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds with his palm.

Wen Yuchen flew into a violent rage and thrust his fists and palms like crazy. His terrifying Internal Breath was surging and rolling savagely, creating numerous large pits in the ground and smashing countless huge stones.

Half an hour later, the area within a radius of about one thousand meters was razed to the ground. Only then did he slowly calm down.

“Sorry, I lost control of myself.” Wen Yuchen felt a little embarrassed when he found that Chu Xun was hiding somewhere far away from him.

“I understand that!” This matter was related to the entire Wen family. It was already good enough that Wen Yuchen did not lose his mind and become a devil again.

With a swift move, Chu Xun appeared in front of Wen Yuchen. “It’s useless to be anxious now. You’d better tell me something first. Which family was supposed to take your place?”

Wen Yuchen shook his head and said, “At that time, they just decided to let me stand guard first and said that they would send someone else to replace me later. I have no idea which family was supposed to come and replace me.”

“You…” Chu Xun was speechless. He thought that Wen Yuchen was just too careless about such an important matter. He couldn’t help giving a thumbs-up and said, “I’m impressed.”

Wen Yuchen was a little annoyed. “Brat, I’m your senior after all. Can’t you show some basic respect?”

Chu Xun sneered. He used to be an Immortal Emperor. Even an Almighty at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage had to bow to him respectfully without daring to raise the head. Someone in the High Immortal Realm was now talking about respect with him. Who on earth should be respected?

“Let’s get down to business.” Chu Xun’s face became serious.

Wen Yuchen froze for a moment as he thought to himself, “Even I feel a little anxious when Chu Xun suddenly becomes serious. What’s going on?”

Wen Yuchen did not know that even though Chu Xun was not an Immortal Emperor now, he still had the aura of an Immortal Emperor. It would be strange If Wen Yuchen did not feel shocked and nervous when Chu Xun showed such an oppressive aura inadvertently.

In terms of aura alone, Chu Xun was comparable to Emperor Ao.

“In the outside world, there are not only the people of the Assembly of Immortals and alien races.” Chu Xun glanced at Wen Yuchen and added, “There are also the people of the Subterranean Devils Clan.”

“What?” Wen Yuchen was shocked. “That’s impossible. I have been standing guard here for tens of millions of years. Even if I might be mentally disturbed sometimes, I can still guarantee that no fiend can get out of here.”

“I ran across the doppelganger of the Fifth Fiend Lord,” Chu Xun said.

Wen Yuchen was shocked again. “Tell me the details.”

Chu Xun told Wen Yuchen everything about his encounter with the doppelganger of the Fifth Fiend Lord.

Wen Yuchen pondered for a moment, and the look on his face became sullen and serious. He said, “In that case, the Subterranean Devils Clan must have cast some secret spells in the outside world.”

“What makes you so sure about that?” Chu Xun asked.

“You don’t know about the battle that took place back then. At that time, hundreds of races and clans fought for supremacy and destroyed the Earth before they stopped fighting. The Earth was in a state of chaos. Although the Subterranean Devils Clan lost the battle, it was sealed in a hurry. In addition, the Assembly of Immortals also drew back in a hurry, and other races and clans withdrew their resources and refused to stand out. No one cared about if the Subterranean Devils Clan cast any secret spell.”

“You bastard.” Chu Xun’s face darkened. “No one from the Assembly of Immortals is good.”

Wen Yuchen glared at Chu Xun. “Those from the Assembly of Immortals are bastards. It has nothing to do with the Wen family. You should know that had it not been for the Wen family’s efforts back then, no civilian on the Earth would have survived. The Assembly of Immortals initially planned to slaughter all the civilians on the Earth and let the Earth rest and recover as soon as possible.”

Chu Xun narrowed his eyes. “I don’t know that the Earth has experienced such a disaster. The Assembly of Immortals is indeed ruthless and brutal.”
