The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 19 Roommates in College!
“Have a good time.”

A faint voice sounded, and then the door of the room was opened, letting in a glimmer of light, before it was closed quickly again.

Chu Xun’s sudden appearance startled Tang Rou and Chen Hanlong, both of whom were waiting for him anxiously.

“Brother Chu Xun, are you okay?” Tang Rou asked with concern.

Chu Xun shook his head and said, “Let’s go!”

“Sir, what’s inside…” Chen Hanlong asked curiously.

“It’s a very interesting place inside.”

An evil smile appeared at the corner of Chu Xun’s mouth.

He believed that the small illusion formation he set up casually would be kept in mind by Elder Gui for the rest of his life.

…

When the door of the room was opened, Elder Gui knew that Chu Xun was about to leave, so he shouted loudly, “Stop there!” Then, he rushed toward the door.

However, as soon as he took a step forward, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

“Where am I?”

Elder Gui widened his eyes. Strange stones were piled up around him, the evil wind was whistling, and the surroundings were full of haze.

“Are there any monsters here?” Ghost Elder wondered.

“Roar!”

An earth-shaking roar sounded and made Elder Gui tremble suddenly.

He turned his stiff body around and was scared out of his wits. On a strange stone behind him was a monster with sharp mouth and teeth. The monster, which looked like both a lion and a tiger and was as huge as a small hill, stared at him with bloodshot eyes and saliva dripping down from its mouth.

The monster roared and pounced toward Elder Gui, its huge body covering the sky and sun.

Elder Gui’s legs went soft that he couldn’t even jump or run. He collapsed on the ground directly.

“I’m dead!” Elder Gui closed his eyes subconsciously, thinking that he would die this time.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds later, Elder Gui did not feel any pain and opened his eyes cautiously.

However, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the falling snow in front of him. Everything in his sight was covered with snow.

“What the hell is going on?” Elder Gui became a little nervous, murmuring, “What the hell is this place? Will there be a rain of sabers in the sky?”

“Whoosh, whoosh…!”

The sharp sounds of breaking through the air rang through the sky.

Elder Gui looked up and was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating.

He saw sharp sabers shining in chilling light fall down from all over the sky!

…

When the woman in the top floor saw Chu Xun leave on the video, she stood up suddenly and walked out.

“Follow me.”

The two bodyguards at the door hurriedly followed behind her.

The three of them came to the room which Elder Gui was in. The woman pressed an obscure button.

“Swish!”

The dark room was lit up as bright as day.

When they pushed the door open and walked in, the three of them were dumbfounded.

They saw that Elder Gui, whose face was pale, lay on the ground in messy clothes like a beggar and that his body kept twitching. Obviously, the old man was on the verge of collapse.

“What are you waiting for? Help him now!” the woman shouted.

Unexpectedly, the woman’s words brought Elder Gui back to reality, and he gradually started to regain his consciousness.

The woman had wanted to send him to the hospital, but Elder Gui signaled them to go straight to the top floor.

After Elder Gui was carried to the top floor, the woman waved at the two bodyguards, who then left. She knew that Elder Gui must have something to tell her.

“Elder Gui, what happened?” The woman was obviously a little panicked as Elder Gui was her biggest reliance now.

Elder Gui drank a few mouthfuls of water, and his spirit recovered a lot. Thinking of what had happened to him just now, he couldn’t help but shiver.

“Miss, we should never make this man our enemy!”

“Is he very powerful?” the woman asked.

“He is more than powerful. No human power could defeat him,” Elder Gui said with a lingering fear.

The woman looked surprised and said incredulously, “No human power could defeat him; is he a god?”

To her surprise, Elder Gui nodded without hesitation, saying, “Even if he is not a god, he is someone similar to them.”

The woman was very shocked, and her eyes flickered. No one knew what she was thinking about. After a long while, she asked, “Do you think that he deserves our relying on him?”

“At least for the time being, yes,” Elder Gui said with certainty.

The woman remained silent, but there was a firm expression in her eyes.

Elder Gui sighed faintly and helplessly. There was no time left for them in waiting.

Chu Xun, Tang Rou, and Chen Hanlong left, taking Bai Ze with them.

No one stopped them this time.

After walking out of Purple Bamboo Club, Chu Xun had intended to let Chen Hanlong bring Bai Ze to the Dragon Eagle Gang while he went to visit Tang Rou’s family.

However, he received a phone call from Sun Ying, saying that he had found the person that Chu Xun told him to find.

Chen Hanlong drove Tang Rou home first, and then drove Chu Xun to the Dragon Eagle Gang.

Sun Ying and Titan had been waiting at the gate of the manor of the headquarters of Dragon Eagle Gang for them.

The car stopped.

Titan, who had a huge body, bypassed Sun Ying quickly and ran over to open the door of the car for Chu Xun.

Sun Ying widened his eyes and stared at Titan with dissatisfaction.

“Where are they?” Chu Xun asked.

“They are inside. This way please, sir!”

The basement of the villa was transformed into a private prison.

They came to the basement.

“Sir, they are inside,” Sun Ying pointed to a room and said to Chu Xun.

Chu Xun walked over and opened the small window on the door to look inside.

He saw three young men huddled up in the corner of the room with their faces full of fear. The three men, Zheng Liang, Zhao Yuebo, and Li Yiming, were Chu Xun’s roommates when he was in college.

The three of them had already entered the society and started working. They were scared badly after being taken there suddenly.

Chu Xun opened the door and walked in.

The three men looked at Chu Xun at the same time.

“Long time no see!” Chu Xun whispered to them.

The three men looked confused. They did not recognize Chu Xun.

“It seems that three years are enough for people to forget many things. I’m Chu Xun.”

As soon as Chu Xun finished his words, the three men almost jumped up in shock.

“Are you Chu Xun?” Zheng Liang adjusted his glasses and asked in a sharp voice.

Zhao Yuebo looked at Chu Xun in shock.

“Are you still alive?” Li Yiming blurted out.

Chu Xun squinted slightly.

Chu Xun looked at Li Yiming’s greatly surprised face and asked, “You seem to be very surprised that I’m still alive?”

Li Yiming’s body trembled slightly, and he smiled unnaturally before saying, ” Yes, I’m a little surprised. After all, you have disappeared for three years.”

“You were asking me why I was still alive just now, so, you have regarded me dead, right?” Chu Xun’s voice was cold.

“No, no, I’m just a little surprised to see you again,” Li Yiming avoided Chu Xun’s eyes and said hurriedly.

Chu Xun sneered!

“Back when I was caught by others, the three of you saw it with your own eyes. I want to ask you, why wasn’t there any news about such a big event?”

As Chu Xun had learned, after he was taken away, it seemed that no one knew that he was missing. Even if others didn’t know it, his three roommates watched him being taken away back then. Why did they keep silent toward this and why didn’t they tell anyone about this?

“We…” Zhao Yuebo opened his mouth but failed to speak out a complete sentence.

“Tell me everything! Since we used to be classmates, I won’t go tough with you. I also hope that you won’t make things difficult for me,” Chu Xun said in a calm voice.

The three men lowered their heads and kept silent!

Chu Xun sighed faintly!

Even though these three people didn’t tell him, he had many ways to find out the answer himself, such as Soul-searching Technique.

However, he didn’t want to do that. These three men were just ordinary people, and their nerves were fragile. If Chu Xun performed Soul-searching Technique on them, it would cause irreparable damage to their brain nerves.

“You really don’t want to talk about it?” Chu Xun looked a little sad. These three men used to be his roommates and were his first friends in college.

“Chu Xun, I…”

Zheng Liang habitually lifted his glasses, but Li Yiming interrupted him with a shout as soon as he spoke.

“Chu Xun, what right do you have to imprison us? Do you know it’s illegal?”

Chu Xun’s eyes began to become cold. He stared at Li Yiming and said, “I hope that you won’t exhaust my last bit of kindness.”

Li Yiming avoided Chu Xun’s eyes and pretended to look tough when he shouted, “What do you want from us? What can you do to us? We’re in a society ruled by law. I will sue you when I get out.”

Chu Xun’s eyes became completely cold. He came to a conclusion that the drugs the police found from his bed that year had something to do with Li Yiming.

“Since you don’t want to tell me the truth, then don’t blame me for being cruel.”

After finishing his words, Chu Xun grabbed Li Yiming by the neck and pulled him over before he could struggle. He pressed against Li Yiming’s head with one hand and exerted True Energy through it.

Li Yiming trembled suddenly, and his eyes started to become dull!

Soul-searching Technique.

With Chu Xun’s current cultivation, it was still a little hard for him to perform Soul-searching Technique.

Fortunately, Li Yiming’s willpower was weak.

As a lot of information came into Chu Xun’s mind, his face looked increasingly terrible.

A few minutes later!

“Crack!”

With the harsh sound of cracking bones, Li Yiming’s neck drooped down softly.

Chu Xun, who had got the information, shattered Li Yiming’s neck without hesitation.

Zheng Liang and Zhao Yuebo both held their breath and were frightened, and their eyes were frozen.

Chu Xun casually threw Li Yiming’s body to a corner.

The body slammed onto the ground, splashed the dust.

Zheng Liang’s and Zhao Yuebo’s legs went soft, and they both collapsed on the ground.

Chu Xun looked at them coldly with bitterness in his eyes.

Now, he had found out the answers of the questions that had confused him for long.

It turned out that the drugs that the police found from his bed was put there by Li Yiming personally.

Afterwards, Li Yiming got 500,000 yuan as a reward.

As for Zheng Liang and Zhao Yuebo, they both chose to remain silent after receiving 100,000 yuan from Li Yiming.

…

Chu Xun turned around and walked out.

Seeing Chu Xun out, Sun Ying and Chen Hanlong hurriedly walked toward him.

“Let the two of them go,” Chu Xun said to Sun Ying.

“Two? Aren’t there three of them?” Sun Ying was confused. As he stretched out his head and looked into the room, his expression suddenly changed. He nodded hurriedly and said, “Don’t worry, sir. I’ll handle it.”

Chu Xun nodded slightly!

As he thought, Zheng Liang and Zhao Yuebo did not deserve to die for their guilt. As for how to silence them about this, Chu Xun believed that Sun Ying would find a way to do that.

“Take this.”

Chu Xun didn’t like to owe others any favor, so, he took out a Jade Card and handed it to Sun Ying.

“Life-saving Jade Card.” Chen Hanlong’s eyes widened.

The Jade Card that Chu Xun gave to Sun Ying was made by Warm Jade. It could protect people against cold and heat and even save their lives. Chu Xun also had one Jade Card, but he had used it to save Titan.

Sun Ying had heard from Chen Hanlong about the magic power of the Jade Card. He received the Jade Card with trembling hands and looked overjoyed.

“You’re really lucky, man,” Chen Hanlong said with jealousy.

“Yes, yes, yes!” Sun Ying nodded vigorously and carefully kept the Jade Card close to his body.

Chen Hanlong pouted his mouth without jealousy and said, “Well, you overreacted. Nobody would grab it from you.”

Sun Ying showed a silly smile. He did not miss the jealousy in Chen Hanlong’s eyes.

When Chu Xun was about to leave, several screams sounded in the room next to him!

Chu Xun knew the screams came from Bai Ze when he heard the voice.

Sun Ying and Chen Hanlong looked at each other, and their expressions changed.

They all knew why Chu Xun caught Bai Ze—to use Bai Ze to exchange for Wang Song.

Sun Ying had told Titan to keep a close eye on Bai Ze and not to abuse him.

If something bad happened to Bai Ze, Sun Ying would feel guilty toward Chu Xun.

He didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Chu Xun that he could not do his job well.

Thinking of this, Sun Ying began to feel uneasy.
