The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 158 Being Fearful Before the Fight!

The news that the Golden Knife Sect had been exterminated soon spread throughout the whole Martial Tao world.

This incident caused a great disturbance.

The entire Martial Tao world was shocked.

Once again, Chu Xun’s name was renowned throughout the entire Martial Tao world.

Some people thought Chu Xun was too cruel. Once he was offended, he would slaughter the whole sect, which was against the harmony of heaven.

However, some people held different views that a warrior should return the favor to those who had helped him and take revenge on those who had hurt him. They thought that the people of the Golden Knife Sect who had surrounded and killed Chu Xun’s family, should bear the consequences of their deeds.

The comments in the Martial Tao world about Chu Xun were very varied.

Just then, the Heaven Tao Sect, one of the first-rate forces in the Heaven Tao Sect world, stepped forward.

“Chu Xun’s methods are cruel and he has killed many innocent people. So the Heaven Tao Sect has decided to enforce justice on behalf of heaven to kill Chu Xun.”

These simple words from the Heaven Tao Sect made the entire Martial Tao world excited.

Because there had been news that people of the Heaven Tao Sect had captured Chu Xun’s parents and Chu Xun had declared that the householder of the Heaven Tao Sect had to personally send his parents out, or else he would personally visit the Heaven Tao Sect.

Everyone understood what Chu Xun meant by his personal visit, that was, to kill all of the people of the Heaven Tao Sect.

It was a world-shaking collision.

Some people thought that Chu Xun had overestimated his own abilities. After all, the Heaven Tao Sect had existed for hundreds of years and had a profound foundation. However, Chu Xun was weak and alone, so how dare he challenge the Heaven Tao Sect?

Of course, there were also some people who felt ashamed of the Heaven Tao Sect. As a first-rate force in the Martial Tao world, it was really shameless of them to kidnap the parents of a mortal.

After all, there was a rule in the Martial Tao world that warriors could neither fight with mortals nor get involved in the politics or disputes of the secular world.

Of course, all rules were made for the weak. The strong naturally had the ability to ignore the rules.

Everyone knew that this battle between Chu Xun and the Heaven Tao Sect was inevitable.

The Ruthless Chu and Devil Chu was widely-known in the Martial Tao world, but few had seen him in person. They had only heard of his achievements.

Therefore, many forces and warriors rushed to the Heaven Tao Sect to see Devil Chu in person.

Some well-informed people were informed of Chu Xun’s appearance in Xiafei City, and they immediately understood that Chu Xun’s target was the Wuji Sect.

Then they immediately rushed to Wuji Sect without stopping, hoping to see Devil Chu in advance.

People of the Wuji Sect also received the news that Chu Xun was about to arrive. Hundreds of people in the Wuji sect were in a state of panic.

The householder of Wuji Sect, Zhao Wuji, had the same cultivation as Yan Song, and was also a grandmaster of Seventh Grade. At this moment, however, his well-maintained face was creased with worries.

The overall strength of the Wuji Sect was lower than that of the Golden Knife Sect, which had already been destroyed. How would the people of the Wuji Sect be able to stop the Devil Chu?

However, at this moment, people from the Heaven Tao Sect once again stood up and said that they would protect the Wuji Sect.

Zhao Wuji was not happy, because the Heaven Tao Sect only said that they would protect the Wuji Sect, but did not send anyone over to help them. The meaning of the Heaven Tao Sect was very clear. They wanted Zhao Wuji to go to the Heaven Tao Sect to seek shelter, together with all people of the Wuji Sect.

If they went to the Heaven Tao Sect, would the Wuji Sect still be his own Wuji Sect?

Zhao Wuji was very unwilling to give up. The Wuji Sect, which had existed for a hundred years, had not been carried forward by him. On the contrary, was it going to be annexed by the Heaven Tao Sect?

But Chu Xun was on the way. His methods were well-known all over the world. If he came, countless people of the Wuji Sect would be killed and blood would flow like streams.

There was a wolf in front of him, and a tiger behind him. What should he do?

Zhao Wuji regretted that they had offended Chu Xun.

But he also understood that no matter what he said now, it would not help. As the saying went, a living dog is better than a dead lion.

Therefore, he chose to go to the Heaven Tao Sect for shelter.

Similarly, people of the Poison Sect, Arhat Sect and Shadowless Sect were all in a state of panic.

That was because they had also been on Qianlong Mountain and had tried to kill Chu Xun’s kin.

Now it seemed that Chu Xun was going to take revenge on them, one by one. They could not get away from it.

Should they go to the Heaven Tao Sect for shelter, just like the Wuji Sect?

In the Poison Sect, King of Poison and his presbyters were discussing this matter urgently. The entire main hall was in an uproar.

“King of Poison, I think we had better go to the Heaven Tao Sect as soon as possible. Chu Xun is in a state of anger and killing mode now. Let us avoid him for the time being, so that we will not suffer the same fate as the Golden Knife Sect.” A presbyter suggested.

“Bullshit. If we are afraid and give up before the fight, do we still have the dignity of a warrior? The Poison Sect is different from the Golden Knife Sect. Chu Xun is indeed very powerful, but the Poison Sect is not weak.”

“We are not going to give up. We just want to avoid losses. They all say that Chu Xun is ruthless and is a devil. Is that for no reason? You should know that no one will survive wherever he goes. Are we going to let him destroy the Poison Sect?”

“Could it be that by joining the Heaven Tao Sect, we are able to protect our Poison Sect? The Heaven Tao Sect seems to want to protect us, but in fact, they just want to take the opportunity to annex the Poison Sect. The villain’s design is obvious. In this case, why not try our best to fight with Chu Xun? Even if we die, we can meet our ancestors of the Poison Sect with pride.”

The group of people were arguing fiercely.

The eyes of King of Poison flickered and he did not pay attention to their arguments. No one knew what he was thinking.

Everyone also noticed that and gradually, the sounds of their arguing came to a halt.

“King of Poison, it is up to you to decide whether to fight or not.”

King of Poison seemed to be awakened from his reverie by the man’s voice. He looked around and said, “I have made up my mind.”

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on King of Poison.

“My decision is… to fight!” said King of Poison.

“King of Poison, we can’t do that! Our Poison Sect cannot be ruined by us. How can we face our ancestors after death?”

“Humph, it is ridiculous for you to come up with such a splendid excuse for being so afraid of death!”

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel again, King of Poison frowned and shouted, “Stop!”

King of Poison was angry, so the quarrels naturally stopped.

“The fight I am talking about is not a one-on-one fight between Chu Xun and us.” The eyes of King of Poison twinkled.

All the presbyters were surprised.

“If we unite with the other sects, Chu Xun will definitely be killed, even if he has superhuman powers.” King of Poison said in a high-pitched voice.

To unite with the other sects?

There were no stupid people here. In an instant, they all understood King of Poison’s meaning.

“What a good strategy!”

“I am so ashamed. With so many people, we are still not as smart as you, my King of Poison.”

“That is a good idea. If we unite with Arhat Sect and Shadowless Sect against Chu Xun, why should we be afraid of him?”

“You are right. Chu Xun is on the way to the Wuji Sect. There are still a few days left, which is enough for us to unite with the other sects. If we join forces, we are no weaker than the Heaven Tao Sect. If Chu Xun really dares to come, he will not have a chance to go back alive.”

“I think if he knows that we will be joining forces, he will be afraid and will not dare to come. Haha…”

The group of people looked relaxed and began to make jokes about Chu Xun. There was no hint of panic on their faces anymore.

It had to be said that King of Poison’s strategy was really wonderful. If these sects united with each other, there would be several grandmasters of Seventh Grade. Even if Chu Xun was a god, he would be no match for them.

“Since it is so, I will get in touch with the other sects,” King of Poison said as he stood up, “Everyone, go back and perform your own duties. Let us wait to see Chu Xun’s head being cut off!”

Hearing that, all the presbyters burst into laughter. At this time, Chu Xun was no longer a threat in their eyes. Therefore, when they talked about Chu Xun, their words were frivolous and they made fun of him. They were very proud now.

However, at this moment, a sudden bang was heard.

The house and the ground were shaking.

Whoola!

The blue-and-white porcelain teacup on the table next to King of Poison fell and smashed into pieces.

What was going on? Did an earthquake happen?

At this time, a disciple of the Poison Sect rushed over in a panic. His arms were broken and his body was covered with blood.

He stammered, “House… householder, the Devil Chu is here!”
