The Immortal Emperor Returns Chapter 83

Chapter 83 A Call for Help!
Everyone present got a single pill.

They looked excited, and there was pa.s.sion in their eyes. The pill appeared so amazing to them that it could even cure s.e.xual dysfunction.

As they were all businessmen, they had to meet clients frequently.

The long time of indulging in wine and sensuality eroded their health.

Almost every one of them had hyperlipidemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia or diabetes.

Besides, it's natural that human beings, who fed on grains, would get sick sometimes.

Therefore, in their eyes, nothing could be more precious than the pill, which could help them recover their health.

After receiving the pill, everyone was overjoyed, yet they did not forget to thank Chu Xun.

Each of them expressed their determination to follow Chu Xun's lead loyally.

Chu Xun nodded slightly at them.

In fact, he did not care what these people would do in the future, and he gave them the pills just because he did not want to owe them anything.

After a short chat with them, Su Laohu had someone see these elated big figures off.

“Big Brother, isn't this gift too precious for them?” Su Fan asked, his eyes fixed on the dozen gold pills in Chu Xun's hands.

“It doesn't matter. I can make more pills as long as I have material,” Chu Xun replied flatly.

“Big Brother, now, my heart is filled with continuous flows of admiration for you.” Su Fan approached Chu Xun and stared at the gold pills in his hands. “Do they taste good?” he asked.

The corner of Chu Xun's mouth twitched as he answered grumpily, “You're healthy. Why do you want to eat it?”

“Well, I'm injured in fact. Look.” Su Fan showed his arm to Chu Xun and pointed at a small bite on it, saying, “An ant bit me last night…”

“Get lost!”

Chu Xun was speechless after hearing the words.

“Please give me one, Big Brother. I really want to know how it tastes.” Su Fan pestered him.

Chu Xun had no choice but to give him two pills.

Su Fan took one of them quickly, but soon, he showed a bitter expression and shouted, “Why did it taste so acrid?”

As a matter of fact, the pill didn't taste that bitter, just that Su Fan had hated the bitter taste very much since he was a child.

“The pill is made of refined ancient ginseng. Absorb it quickly. It's helpful for your cultivation. You can keep the other one in case of emergency.”

After saying this, Chu Xun handed two gold pills to Su Laohu.

Su Laohu accepted the pills happily without pretending to refuse. The pills were so valuable that even if Chu Xun had not offered to give him two, he would ask him for two pills cheekily.

A soldier ran over when Chu Xun was about to go to Hua Qingwu.

“Mr. Chu, here is your mobile phone.”

“Thank you!”

Chu Xun took the phone and thanked him.

His phone powered off during the month when he stayed at the bottom of Mount b.u.t.terfly, so he had it charged after arriving at the Su Family, for fear that Chen Hanlong could not get in touch with him.

When he turned on the phone, it kept ringing.

There were dozens of missed calls and hundreds of unread messages.

“Brother Chu Xun, where are you? I failed to contact you.”

This message was from Tang Rou.

“Mr. Chu, I've arrived safe and sound with Madam.”

This message was from Elder Gui.

“Mr. Chu, I'm Sun Ying. Please don't forget me. If there is anything I can help, please let me know, and I'll try my best to help you.”

Sun Ying's message demonstrated his bandit-like style.

Apart from these messages, Chu Xun also received some messages from Li Tian, Zheng Guangyi, Bai Renjie, and Bai Renxiong.

When spotting Chen Hanlong's message, Chu Xun narrowed his eyes. The message read, “Mr. Chu, I got some news of the person you're looking for.”

This message was sent half a month ago.

Another message from Chen Hanlong was sent yesterday. “Mr. Chu, help…”

Seeing the message, Chu Xun immediately called Chen Hanlong.

However, Chen Hanlong's phone could not be reached.

Chu Xun tried to contact Zheng Guangyi but failed, too.

“Something happened?”

Chen Hanlong's last message was absolutely asking for help, but something unexpected happened so that he failed to complete the sentence.

“Mr. Chu, is there anything I can do for you?”

Noticing the change of Chu Xun's expression, Su Laohu asked.

“I have to go back now.”

Gujiang City was his home base, and the people he cared for and loved were there.

“Let me go with you, Big Brother,” Su Fan, who was trying to digest the pill, jumped and chimed in.

Chu Xun was hesitant toward the suggestion for Su Fan could not watch his mouth well.

However, Su Fan was so clever that he knew what Chu Xun was worrying about. He immediately expressed that he would follow Chu Xun's every order.

Chu Xun agreed despite that he doubted the words.

That was because Su Fan said that even if Chu Xun did not bring him, he would go there himself.

Su Laohu had no objection toward the idea. Moreover, he eagerly hoped that Su Fan could follow Chu Xun as well.

Hua Qingwu, who went out to enjoy the scenery in the garden with the female gambler, came back.

Chu Xun went to her and explained the situation.

They finally decided that Chu Xun went back first and Hua Qingwu would go to find him after she settled the business on the hand.

The female gambler would stay there to protect Hua Qingwu, thus she did not follow them, which made Su Fan feel very happy.

With Su Laohu and other powerful figures in Yunyan City, Chu Xun did not worry about Hua Qingwu's safety.

Su Fan acted very quickly that he booked some flight tickets through a call.

An hour later.

A military Jeep was running fast on a road like lightning.

An hour later, Chu Xun and Su Fan boarded the plane to Gujiang City.

The headquarters of Dragon Eagle Gang in Gujiang City, which covered an area of over one thousand square meters, now lay in ruins and was in a mess.

Four figures were fighting there and entangled together.

Under their force, the lawn cracked, and the floor bricks were broken.

Boom!

There was a dull sound of collision.

The four figures dispersed.

One of the four figures staggered after landing on the ground, and fled into a dilapidated villa beside.

“Stop.”

“You can't escape…”

The other three figures shouted and chased after the escaping figure at the same time.

At one corner of the hall of the villa was a burrow, which led to a bas.e.m.e.nt.

The figure who escaped there rushed into the burrow quickly.

The other three figures followed the escaping man into the villa but stopped at the burrow, and they looked grave.

“d.a.m.n! He ran away again,” one of the three figures yelled angrily.

“It's all because of this d.a.m.n formation,” another person snapped. If one took a closer look at the burrow, they would find that it was covered with a light s.h.i.+eld like a layer of thin pellicle, and as soon as someone approached it, there were flowing light on the s.h.i.+eld.

The three figures once were injured by the magic formation before.

“I'm wondering when that silly Taoist could break this magic formation,” one of the three figures said in a hoa.r.s.e and angry voice, “when the formation was damaged, I will break that guy's neck.”

The other two nodded in agreement. They had a hard time in the past two days.

The figure who fled into the burrow had reached the Great Completion of the ninth level of the Acquired Realm, just as they did; however, this man was despicable that he launched sneak attacks against them from time to time, and would hide into the formation after getting injured. After that, the man would drink Immortal Water to cure himself before launching another sneak attack.

As a result, the three were very angry, and they were almost driven mad for they could not catch him.

The figure who fled into the burrow walked down along the stone stairs and entered the bas.e.m.e.nt.

“Elder Mo!”

Someone came up to help the figure, and it was no other than Chen Hanlong.

The injured man was Mo Xinghe.

Zheng Guangyi and his son, Sun Ying, and t.i.tan were also in the bas.e.m.e.nt.

Chen Hanlong took out a bottle of original Immortal Water and handed it to Mo Xinghe.

With his mouth corner stained with blood, Mo Xinghe looked dejected. He received the bottle and drank it up.

After that, he looked better immediately.

“I didn't complete the mission Mr. Chu gave me,” Mo Xinghe said with guilty.

Before Chu Xun left, he ordered Mo Xinghe to protect the gang, but now, those members were forced to hide in this bas.e.m.e.nt.

“Don't blame yourself, Elder Mo.” Zhen Guangyi wanted to comfort him, but he did not know what else he could say.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! When Mr. Chu came back, he will torture them to death.” Sun Ying punched the wall and growled.

His gang, the Dragon Eagle Gang, was beaten down, and the members of the gang either fled or were caught. Now, he and t.i.tan were the only two members in the gang.

Chen Hanlong sighed and said with a bitter smile, “We could hold on only for several days more, and we only have three bottles of Immortal Water now. If the situation continues like this, we will die of hunger and thirsty even if our enemies won't break in.”

“Who the h.e.l.l are these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds?” Zhen Guangyi asked in confusion.

In fact, everyone was as confused as him. Those who attacked them appeared suddenly, went to Chen Hanlong first, and asked him to give them the formula of the Immortal Water.

They came for the Immortal Water but did not reveal their ident.i.ty.

“I'll try to sneak out and bring back some food later.”

Mo Xinghe was furious. How could he, who had reached the Great Completion of the ninth level of the Acquired Realm, be forced to such a corner? He tried to get out to look for Chu Xun but was beaten back.

“If only we could get the mobile phone charged,” Zheng Qian murmured.

They had been trapped in the bas.e.m.e.nt for near a week, and Chen Hanlong's phone powered off after he sent out his last message.

“Chen Hanlong, give us the formula of the Immortal Water and we'll retreat immediately and won't hurt you.”

The voice was from above the ground, carrying the Internal Breath of the speaker. As Chen Hanlong and others were in the formation, the voices of ordinary men could not reach them.

Chen Hanlong stood up, strode to the direction of the voice, and raised his head, only to see a skinny, pale-faced man with a goatee look down at him. The man's two front teeth were exposed in the air.

“Oh my, no demon should exist after the establishment of our country, but why here is a mouse demon?”

Chen Hanlong mocked the mouse-like man.

“Give me the formula of the Immortal Water, and I'll spare your lives.” The mouse-like man's voice was sharp, just like that of a mouse.

“You do look like a mouse demon. If you want to get the Immortal Water, kneel down and call me grandpa, and I may be pleased and give you two bottles of the Immortal Water, my grandson.”

Knowing that the mouse-like man could not get into the formation, Chen Hanlong insulted him boldly.

“You are courting death.”

The mouse-like man's voice sounded sharp and grave, and his small eyes were full of killing intent.

Although the man was blocked out by the magic formation, Chen Hanlong still felt a little frightened when he was stared by the man.

Despite being outnumbered, Chen Hanlong would not show any trace of fear. He sneered and laughed. “My grandson, yes, I'm courting death. Come down and kill me if you can. I'll stretch my head to you…”

When Chen Hanlong kept provoking the man. Mo Xinghe stood up and approached the entrance of the burrow quietly, hiding in dark and keeping close to the wall.

At this moment, an overweight man with a fat face walked to the mouse-like man from behind, like a huge moving ball, and looked down.

Chen Hanlong pressed down on Mo Xinghe's body slightly, and Mo Xinghe instantly stopped moving.

“d.a.m.n. First, there was a mouse demon, and now we got a pig demon here too. Are demons nowadays so rampant? And they even dare come out in groups?” Chen Hanlong pretended to look surprised as he mocked them.

The fat man got tired and groaned because he lowered his head for too long. “You know nothing. We're…” the fat man said to Chen Hanlong but was interrupted.

“Shut up!” the mouse-like man shouted at the fat man.

“How dare you roar at me, you silly mouse.” The fat man glared at the mouse-like man.

“Right now.”

Chen Hanlong yelled suddenly.

Mo Xinghe, who hid in the dark, was close to the entrance of the burrow. He stepped heavily on the ground and bounced out after hearing the voice, leaving the ground collapsed.

“Be careful!”

The mouse-like man shouted and crossed his arms in front of his face to defend himself.

Mo Xinghe kicked his arms as quickly as lightning and exerted his power of the Great Completion of the ninth level of the Acquired Realm.

Boom!

The mouse-like man stepped backward continuously under the blow, and where he stepped cracked under his feet.

Yet, the mouse-like man did not get injured, which showed that he was at a high level of cultivation.

Mo Xinghe kept cautious. He turned around, grabbed the slow fat man by the collar, and jumped into the bas.e.m.e.nt while dragging the fat man.

Chen Hanlong quickly put away the Jade Card in his hands.

When the mouse-like man chased them to the entrance, the magic formation was activated again, and the light s.h.i.+eld started to s.h.i.+ne.

The fat man was too chubby that he rolled down the stone stairs like a ball after being dragged into the bas.e.m.e.nt. Dust kept falling from the roof, and without the magic formation, the bas.e.m.e.nt would have collapsed.
