The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 150 Into the Depths of the Mountains and Forests

Azure Dragon was secretly surprised when he learnt that Chu Xun was going to Golden Knife Sect. “They must be really unfortunate to have provoked him among all people… But I have to say I am somewhat happy to know this. Those bastards have been acting with no regard of the law and bullying the ordinary people. It is about time someone teaches them a lesson.” thought Azure Dragon as he mourned for them in advance.

He then asked a crucial question.

“Senior, do you know where Golden Knife Sect is?”

“No idea!” answered Chu Xun, without any hesitation.

Azure Dragon was stunned at first, then he gladly introduced Chu Xun to a guide — Jade Rabbit.

Jade Rabbit was a master at using computers, it would only take minutes for her to locate Golden Knife Sect.

Chu Xun accepted her help. If Jade Rabbit was truly that good, she could indeed provide valuable help.

Azure Dragon then called Jade Rabbit and told her that Chu Xun needed her help.

Jade Rabbit admired Chu Xun greatly, so she agreed to help, without having to think too much about it.

Jade Rabbit arrived after about half an hour.

She wore a pink tracksuit, which made her skin look even fairer than usual. She carried a rabbit-shaped backpack, and her fake rabbit ears swayed from side to side. With her blushing cheeks and round eyes, she looked really cute.

“Hi, Senior.” Jade Rabbit greeted him timidly.

When she learned that she was going to help Chu Xun locate Golden Knife Sect, she nearly fainted with happiness.

Chu Xun smiled gently and asked, “Are you sure you can pinpoint the exact location of Golden Knife Sect?”

Jade Rabbit nodded. She then took out a map and presented it, as if it was some kind of treasure to Chu Xun. Raising her cute face, she said,

“This is what I found before I left. The location of Golden Knife Sect is marked there.”

Indeed, the route to Golden Knife Sect was marked out very meticulously, even the winding shortcuts were marked out as well. Needless to say, even a child would be able to find Golden Knife Sect easily with this map.

“Are you able to locate the other sects as well?” asked Chu Xun.

Jade Rabbit nodded.

“Then help me find out Wuji Sect’s location, then print it out.”

The amiable old man then asked someone to bring over the printer.

Jade Rabbit’s skills were truly amazing. Within a mere five minutes, the location of Wuji Sect appeared on the paper.

“Now Poison Sect.” said Chu Xun.

After another five minutes, Poison Sect was located successfully.

“Shadowless Sect.”

“Arhat Sect.”

“Ghost Yin Sect.”

Chu Xun recited the names of all the sects that had besieged Qianlong Mountain the other day.

With a few taps on the keyboard, they were all located swiftly and accurately.

Chu Xun put the printed maps inside his Storage Ring, then smiled at Jade Rabbit and said,

“Thank you so much. I will treat you to a meal when I return.” He then walked away.

Staring blankly at Chu Xun’s departing back, Jade Rabbit’s mouth closed and her eyes reddened. Tears then started raining down her face.

Azure Dragon and the amiable old man looked at each other, both speechless.

“Chu Xun is too cunning, yet Jade Rabbit is so naive.” thought the two.

However, Jade Rabbit stopped crying all of a sudden, and showed a bright smile.

The amiable old man and Azure Dragon looked at each other again. They were apparently concerned about Jade Rabbit.

“Rabbit… Are you okay?” Azure Dragon asked.

“Of course! I’m fine!” Jade Rabbit said, as she tilted her head. Chu Xun had sent her a secret message just now, telling her she had to stay behind, as the trip would be too dangerous.

She was naive, so she was very easily pacified. A simple, caring message from Chu Xun was enough to bring the radiant smile back onto her face.

Jade Rabbit was fine! Now the amiable old man and Azure Dragon were bewildered.

…

Luoying Mountain, Kaiyuan Province, Yangqing City.

This was where Golden Knife Sect was hidden.

Luoying Mountain was not very high, yet it was very majestic. It looked more like a ridge without an end. Its terrain had different varying levels. One could find ancient trees and boundless bushes on that mountain, where countless serpents, rats and ants were rampant.

Chu Xun stood at the foot of the mountain. It had taken him two whole days to arrive at his destination.

He then entered the deep forest right away.

It was dark in the forest and there was a rotten stench in the air. The fallen leaves were about one meter high. If one stepped onto the leaves, it came up to one’s thighs. Chu Xun touched the ground with the tip of his foot gently. With a white flash appearing under his feet, he drifted a few meters away instantly.

“Chirp!”

The chirping of some unknown birds could be heard occasionally, and it sounded especially jarring and ominous in the quiet forest.

Chu Xun stayed calm and collected as he continued his journey.

“Swoosh!”

A giant figure suddenly leaped toward Chu Xun from a treetop. A strong, fishy smell engulfed him immediately.

Chu Xun closed his fingers to form the shape of a blade and made a swipe across the sky, releasing a blinding white slash bursting with energy.

“Puff!”

Blood was spilled all over the place. That giant figure sneaking up on Chu Xun was cut into two and hit the ground with a loud thump.

It was a python, with a body as thick as a bowl. Even though it had been cut into two, it was still alive and wriggling about on the ground.

Chu Xun could not help being reminded of Jiu You. “Jiu You is still deep asleep. When it wakes up, it will surely become much more powerful.” He thought, as he looked at the colorful wristband on his wrist.

He then ventured further into the forest.

Thick, green fog suddenly appeared in front of him. It was the miasma from the forest. Once a person inhaled it, one would be lost in an endless illusion.

Chu Xun walked right through it without being affected at all.

“Boom!”

The mire under Chu Xun’s feet exploded all of a sudden, splattering mud all over the place. A giant mouth filled with irregular fangs then attempted to bite his legs with the speed of lightning.

Chu Xun raised one foot, then stamped down hard with immense strength.

“Crack!”

With a loud cracking noise, that terrifying mouth was disfigured, its fangs were dislocated and scattered all over the place.

That was a giant crocodile which was at least five meters in length, and each fang was at least five centimeters long. Should one get bitten by it, the consequence would be beyond imagination. Its bite was as strong as that of a meat mincer.

Chu Xun stepped down hard again.

“Puff!”Visit vi p novel. com

The giant crocodile’s head exploded, its blood splattering everywhere.

With only two strong stomps, the crocodile which was comparable to a mincer, was killed effortlessly by Chu Xun.

Even so, his clothes were not tainted by even one drop of blood, and he never stopped moving.

Along his path, he encountered a frog the size of a palm. It was crimson in color and was extremely beautiful. However, the venom coming out of its mouth could corrode a rock and leave a hole upon contact, instantly.

He also encountered a centipede that was half-a-meter long. Its entire body was red, and it could release a poisonous gas that could kill any living being. Wherever it traveled, the trees and flowers along its path would wither and die. The ground also turned charcoal black.

In this deep forest that had at least a thousand years of history, all kinds of strange sights could be seen, including species that had long been extinct in the outside world.

Since Golden Knife Sect was able to settle down in this kind of place, it suggested that there must be something special about them.

No wonder government agencies disliked the people of Martial Tao. The kind of places they resided at were way too dangerous. Should they ever get into trouble, they just needed to hide at home. No one would ever be able to find them.

“Howl..!”

Multiple howls of wolves could be heard throughout the forest.

Chu Xun raised his eyebrows when he saw the wolves surrounding him. There were more than ten of them, each had sharp fangs and was as sturdy as a bull. Through their eyes, one could tell that they were cold-blooded and ferocious.

Wolves with such huge builds were impossible to be found outside. Those in the zoos were all too small and timid.

Chu Xun formed a magic signet, then raised his hands and pressed them down.

A giant handprint appeared in the sky and smashed the ground with the impact of thunder. With a deafening “Boom”, the ground shook and the rocks nearby were sent flying all over the place, due to the impact. The ground even sank a little.

None of the wolves were harmed, however.

They were all frightened and ran off in different directions. After a moment, they soon disappeared.

Chu Xun did not take their lives, for he did not want the younger generations to believe that wolves were as big as teddy bears and as timid as kittens.

He then continued moving forward, after scaring away the wolves.

However, he encountered another sort of problem within only a hundred meters.

It was a giant carnivorous tree which had a width as thick as two humans. Its roots were like long whips or spears. When it swung its branches, it looked as if devils were dancing in the air.

Those branches had terrifying strength, for they could easily smash rocks the size of tables. Its roots could also break out of the ground without one noticing, catching one off guard.

This time Chu Xun did not hold back his strength. He released thousands of strands of Reincarnation Lines to mince the carnivorous tree into small pieces, including its roots.

Chu Xun’s sight was finally no longer obstructed, after he traveled for at least a thousand meters into the forest. He reached a flat plain which was about ten thousand square meters wide.

At one thousand meters away, there existed a complex of huge buildings.

Chu Xun squinted and his mouth curved in a sneer.

There was a giant rock in front of the buildings, and three words were carved on it in a magnificent style — Golden Knife Sect.
