Chapter 414 - Coming Prepared!
The Immortal Emperor Returns
Chapter 414 Coming Prepared!
The atmosphere was oppressive. Everyone looked grave.
Zang Yuanzhi and the Macro-primates had a great ambition. They wanted to control all the forces in the Kunlun Mountain area and swallowed them one by one, the Yan family and Chamber of Lead-Glass included.
In fact, because of the relationship between the Yan family and Chu Xun the Devil, they did not dare to push the Yan family too hard. They planned to start with the Chamber of Lead-Glass and other forces first, and then quickly take down the Yan family. In this way, by the time Chu Xun heard the news, it would be too late for him to rescue them.
However, they didn’t expect Chu Xun to appear so quickly and completely ruin their plan.
“This meddlesome guy.” Jin Wei yelled angrily.
Jin Cheng, however, was puzzled. He looked at Zang Fengling and asked, “Young Master Zang, Chu Xun the Devil had killed all the others. Why did he let you off?
Zang Yuanzhi was displeased and glared at Jin Cheng, saying, “What do you mean? Was my son supposed to be killed by the Devil?”
Jin Cheng cupped his hands together and said, “Master Zang, you’ve misunderstood me. Since the Devil has killed everyone there but your son, isn’t there any conspiracy behind this?”
Zang Yuanzhi pondered for a moment, then looked at Zang Fengling and said, “Tell me what happened at that time, and don’t hide anything.”
Zang Fengling told them the whole story.
“Bastard, how dare he look down on my family. Chu Xun the Devil, you are too arrogant.” After hearing what Zang Fengling said, Zang Yuanzhi had a gloomy look in his eyes, and his face was full of killing intent.
“F*ck, Chu Xun the Devil! How dare you take our Macro-primates as a group of paper tigers! You’re digging your own grave!” Jin Wei yelled angrily, his eyes glinting with anger.
The elders of the Zang family all looked grave. According to what Zang Fengling said, Chu Xun claimed that he could destroy the Zang family as easily as lifting his hand and that the Macro-primates were just a group of paper tigers.
“The Devil also said that we Zangs should be careful. If he gets unhappy someday, he would come and slaughter us all,” Zang Fengling observed everyone’s expressions as he said cautiously.
“Chu Xun the Devil, do you really think that we Zangs are as fragile as clay?” Zang Yuanzhi’s voice was ice-cold.
“He also said that the Macro-primates were just a group of wild monkeys. He said that he was going to lock all of you up in the zoo as exhibiting animals,” Zang Fengling said.
“Ahh...” Jin Wei roared in anger. “Chu Xun the Devil, we Macro-primates and you are at daggers drawn. I’m going to kill you.”
“Gather our people together. We’re going to destroy the Chamber of Lead-Glass this night and let the Devil know who is in charge of the Kunlun Mountain area,” Zang Yuanzhi said angrily.
“No.” Jin Cheng thought for a moment and said, “At this moment, I’m afraid that Chu Xun the Devil is still in the Chamber of Lead-Glass. We can’t act rashly.”
“Brother Jin, don’t worry. So what if he is there? I have my own ways to deal with him,” said Zang Yuanzhi confidently.
Jin Cheng was shocked, looking at him in confusion.
“Tonight, I’m going to make blood flow like rivers in the Kunlun Mountain area.”
A very high-ranking elder of the Zang family changed his expression slightly and said, “Master, are you going to ask Elder Ancestor to come out of seclusion?”
“That’s right. Elder Ancestor is the only one who can deal with Chu Xun the Devil,” said Zang Yuanzhi.
Everyone in the Zang family couldn’t help but look overjoyed. If their Elder Ancestor came out of seclusion, no one could be his match.
Jin Wei and Jin Cheng had long known that the Zang family had a very powerful figure, so they weren’t surprised. To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for the fact that they knew that there was a powerful figure in the Zang family, they wouldn’t have treated the family with the attitude they had now.
Zang Fengling lowered his head, and there was a sinister smirk in his eyes. In fact, Zang Yuanzhi asked him to go to the Chamber of Lead-Glass with the purpose of conquering this place. As for the idea of marrying Yao Baiyue, he made the decision on his own, which caused more than 150 people of the Zang family to be slaughtered. Moreover, he had sent someone to sneak into the Fire Dragon Palace and offend Chu Xun, and he concealed all these things.
He couldn’t speak these out. Otherwise, he would be severely punished even though he was the young master of the Zang family.
...
In the ancestral land of the Zang family, countless memorial tablets were placed in the large room for worship, all of which belonged to the ancestors of the Zang family. Hundreds of candles were burning around, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of candle burning. The temperature was also very high in the room, but people still felt chilling standing in it.
Zang Yuanzhi led a group of elders to pay their respects to the ancestors.
After that, he walked to the stone platform where the memorial tablets were placed, and with an extremely respectful expression, he gently turned the candlestick beside the stone platform.
Thunder!
The wall behind the stone platform slowly moved away, revealing an entrance.
Zang Yuanzhi led his men through the stone gate, and the surroundings suddenly became bright. It was an open space surrounded by stone mountains. Under their feet were withered branches and fallen leaves, which made the place look very desolate.
The night wind blew over, and withered leaves flew in the air. There was a gloomy aura in the place.
Zang Yuanzhi led his men forward, stopped in the middle of the open space, and then knelt down with his men.
“I, Zang Yuanzhi, invite you with respect to come out, Elder Ancestor.”
His voice echoed throughout the place that was surrounded by stone hills.
The elders of the Zang family didn’t dare to raise their heads.
The voice gradually dissipated, but there was no response.
Half an hour passed, but the Elder Ancestor did not show up.
“Elder Ancestor, our family is in trouble. We need your help.” Zang Yuanzhi opened his mouth again.
His voice drifted, echoing in the air.
This time, there was finally a response—a low sigh, hearing which, the people present almost froze.
“You don’t have even a bloodstain on your bodies. How could the Zang family be in trouble?” The voice seemed to have come from all directions. It was hard to tell where the voice came from exactly, but it was full of anger.
Zang Yuanzhi and other elders all trembled.
“Elder Ancestor, please don’t be angry. There is a person in the outside world who is known as Chu Xun the Devil. He is very cruel and bloodthirsty. Today, he slaughtered more than 150 people of our family. We are ashamed that we are no match for him. We have no choice but to disturb you. Please forgive us.”
“Chu Xun the Devil?” The old man’s voice was filled with doubt.
“Yes, Elder Ancestor. He was born twenty years ago. He slaughtered many people and destroyed many clans, and his hands are covered in blood. Now, he has insulted our family many times, and even started a massacre.”
“Born twenty years ago? How old is he now?”
“In his 30s.”
“Bastard!” Elder Ancestor flew into a rage and said, “Zang Yuanzhi, you have lived in vain for so many years! How can’t you even deal with a thirty-year-old young man?”
“Please don’t be angry, Elder Ancestor. It’s said that Chu Xun the Devil had a great opportunity to obtain a peerless cultivation method and magic formation manual. That’s why he became so powerful.”
“A peerless cultivation method and magic formation manual?” the Elder Ancestor whispered. After a while, he continued, “Alright, I’ll go and take a look with you.”
Zang Yuanzhi was overjoyed, but there was no change to his expression. He knew that the Elder Ancestor was interested in Chu Xun’s cultivation method and formation manual.
“Chu Xun the Devil, your number is up.” He lowered his head with a sinister smile on his face.
...
In the middle of the night, the bright moon was as round as a plate, and the stars were all over the sky.
Chu Xun, who was in cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes. His body flashed as he appeared outside the tent, staring in the front.
Under the bright white moonlight, he saw a swarm of people moving toward the Chamber of Lead-Glass like a dark cloud.
At this time, two figures rushed out of the tent and stood behind Chu Xun. They were Long Yi and Long Er.
Before long, Yan Guilai and the elders of the Yan family were alarmed and came out in a flash.
“That is Zang Yuanzhi, the head of the Zang family. Even he came here as well.” Yan Guilai was slightly surprised when he recognized the person that was leading the group.
“Don’t they know that Immortal Chu is here? How dare they come here?” An elder of the Yan family muttered.
Yan Guilai glared at him and said proudly, “I guess that they thought only Chu Xun was here, so they were so fearless. If they had known that we Yans were also here, they would have been scared out of their wits and fled like mice.”
The elders of the Yan family looked at him with strange expressions. They didn’t notice that their family head was so thick-skinned before.
The people of the Chamber of Lead-Glass also noticed those uninvited people of the Zang family because the latter didn’t hide their whereabouts at all.
Bi Keyun rushed out with a group of elders. Looking at the approaching people of the Zang family, she frowned. Then she looked at Chu Xun and the others who had set up camp in the distance, and her expression relaxed a little.
“Miss Bi, it’s been a long time since we last met. You’re still as charming as before.” Zang Yuanzhi stopped a hundred meters away with his men as he spoke in a loud voice.
Bi Keyun’s eyes were filled with malice as she sneered. “Mr. Zang, I haven’t seen you for a long time, but you’ve become more and more overbearing. Why did you bring so many people to my Chamber of Lead-Glass in the middle of the night?”
“We are here looking for whores.” An elder of the Zang family shouted loudly.
His words caused everyone in the Zang family to burst into laughter.
The people of the Chamber of Lead-Glass were furious. These words were too vicious and too humiliating.
“Zangs, you are also a family of Martial Tao with a history of a thousand years. How dare you insult us as soon as you open your mouth? I thought too highly of you.” Bi Keyun was so angry that she was trembling all over.
Zang Yuanzhi stepped forward and said, “Miss Bi, we are not here to quarrel with you. Today, more than 150 members of my family were killed in your Chamber of Lead-Glass. We’ve come to ask for an explanation.”
“Mr. Zang, you are the head of a big family. How can you be so shameless? Your men attacked my Chamber of Lead-Glass and were killed by me. Yet, you are so shameless to come and demand an explanation from us!” Bai Manru, an elder of the Chamber of Lead-Glass, said angrily.
Zang Yuanzhi’s gaze was sinister as he sneered and replied, “Miss Bi, I won’t beat around the bush. If you’re willing to surrender to my family with your people, then I won’t pursue the matter that you’ve killed my men. Otherwise, I’m afraid that your Chamber of Lead-Glass will no longer exist after tonight.”
“This old thing is becoming more and more shameless.” Yan Guilai muttered, and then shouted loudly, “Mr. Zang, you are really becoming more and more manly. You came with your men at night just to bully a group of weak women. Is this what a real man should do?”
Zang Yuanzhi’s eyes turned vicious, but he pretended to be surprised as if he had just seen Yan Guilai. He said, “Oh, it turns out that Mr. Yan, the head of the Yan family, is also here. Where did you hide just now? Did you hide in a rat hole? We wouldn’t have noticed you if you hadn’t made a sound.”
Yan Guilai’s face darkened. He eyed Zang Yuanzhi and shouted, “We have nothing to do tonight, so we wanted to hunt some beasts. You were acting so stealthily just now that I thought it was a bunch of wild dogs. Sorry, I didn’t recognize you.”
Everyone from the Zang family was enraged as they glared at him.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Zang. It was so dark. Looking from here, you were really like wild dogs. I’ve got people to heat water and set fire, preparing to eat dog meat, but I didn’t expect it to be you guys. It’s really disappointing,” Yan Guilai said.
No matter how good-tempered the Zangs were, they couldn’t hold back their anger after being called a wild dog again and again. Besides, they were well-prepared tonight, so they were naturally more confident.
“Mr. Yan, only women would try to seek advantage in a war of words. You are the head of your family. How could you learn from women?” Zang Yuanzhi asked.
Yan Guilai laughed oddly and replied, “Mr. Zang, you’re right. A man should have a great ambition and defeat his opponents on the battlefield. So during the day, we killed more than 150 beasts. It’s really enjoyable!”
