Chapter 113: Leaving No Stone Unturned!

Chapter 113 Leaving No Stone Unturned!

Chu Xun’s divine sense spread away like flood while he kept recording the video.

All of a sudden, his eyes lit up for he found what he needed.

Chu Xun put away his cell phone and rushed to the front yard. He had to take his time because the formation could not trap Long Ao for long.

After reaching the front yard, Chu Xun stared at the artificial fountain, which was built up with green stones. He then walked forward and clasped the two dragon carvings, and as he tightened his grip, the stone carvings weighing about 500 kilograms turned slowly.

Crack!

When the stone carvings turned half round, there were rumbling sounds as if Chu Xun had triggered a certain mechanism. The fountain started to shake, and the dragon carvings moved sideways, revealing an entrance with the height of a man.

People with superb skills were always bold. Without any hesitation, Chu Xun walked down along the stone stairs.

After walking for about five minutes, Chu Xun reached a stone door about ten meters high, and the two dragon reliefs on the door were vivid.

Chu Xun went forward and pushed the door with great strength.

Boom!

With the sound, the door was pushed open.

Chu Xun entered the door and found that this underground cave covered an area of more than one hundred square meters. The chisel marks on the wall indicated that it was an artificial underground space.

To Chu Xun’s surprise, the cave was lit as bright as day by two fist-sized luminous pearls on the wall.

Chu Xun was left speechless with wonder. A luminous pearl about such a size was priceless, and there were very few such pearls on earth. Thus, it was really extravagant to light the cave with two such luminous pearls.

Chu Xun looked around and smiled. There was a magic formation in front of him, which was named Eye-covering Formation. To put it bluntly, the formation was a diversionary tactic.

However, the formation was only an inferior one of the first level, so it posed no threat to Chu Xun. Chu Xun stamped the Eye of Formation and cracked it, and the formation was broken at once.

After breaking the formation, Chu Xun lifted his eyes and suddenly held his breath with a rare eager expression in his eyes.

“Oh, I made a fortune,” he whispered.

“Heavenly Mist Herb.

“Seven-star Lotus.

“Luxuriance Herb.

“...”

Over ten kinds of spiritual herbs of the lower grade added radiance and beauty to each other and gave off bright light, and there was a strong fragrance of herbs and spiritual power.

Chu Xun laughed and thought that Long Ao had stored really a lot of good things in secret. Long Ao was almost 200 years old now, so it was natural that he had got some extraordinary things. However, now, those treasures would soon be Chu Xun’s.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Xun sealed these spiritual grasses and herbs with a special technique and put them into his Storage Space.

“Is it too wicked for me to take all of them away?” Chu Xun murmured, “if the worst comes to the worst, I’ll pay for them with the loan agreements.”

With this thought in mind, Chu Xun felt much more relieved.

Just as Chu Xun was about to leave, he suddenly let out an exclamation of amazement, because he found that his divine sense was bounced back the moment it touched the wall aside.

Chu Xun sensed something strange.

Chu Xun walked to the wall and tried to feel something carefully, a weird expression on his face.

He found another magic formation, which was also a cloaking formation.

“Is there any treasure behind it?” Chu Xun wondered.

Chu Xun’s eyes lit up as if they were about to pierce through the formation in front of him.

This formation was a second-level one and was set up by the cultivator behind Long Ao. Chu Xun felt a little excited, and it was like a space-crossing battle that the cultivator set up the formation and Chu Xun broke it.

His divine sense spread and covered the entire formation. As long as he found the Eye of Formation, he could break it.

A moment later, Chu Xun’s eyes lit up; he found it. He won again this time.

Boom!

He crashed the Eye of Formation with a punch, and the formation immediately disappeared.

Chu Xun raised his eyes. He had long been curious about what was hidden behind the formation. At this moment, his heart thumped as he took a closer look at it.

“Dark Mystery Stone.

“Shape-shift Herb.

“Heavenly Jade Fruit.”

The herbs bathed in each other’s radiance and lit up Chu Xun’s eyes, making him feel excited.

There were more than ten kinds of spiritual grasses and herbs of the medium grade, as well as materials for weapon making. Among them, some were exactly what Chu Xun needed to make Level-improving Pills.

Chu Xun looked at them fixedly. When he was in the other world, he never took those herbs as precious things. However, now, he was on earth, and those herbs were extremely precious to him like treasures.

It was just like a rich man got cloyed with dainties of every kind, and when he was trapped in a desolate place and only had wild fruits to eat, he would even swallow a drumstick without spitting out the bones.

Chu Xun now was like that rich man. When he was in the other world, he could restrain himself in front of such precious herbs. Now, though he was on earth, only these kinds of things could tempt him.

In an instant, Chu Xun put all these things useful to him into his Storage Space, and he even took away the soil that the herbs were planted in. He robbed the place thoroughly.

The smile on his face showed that he was in a good mood. With these materials, he was one step closer to making Level-improving Pills, so he was really very happy.

His divine sense spread further as he thought there might be some other treasures hidden there.

As he had expected, his divine sense was bounced back by a stone wall.

Chu Xun was overjoyed and rushed to check the wall. After a careful check, he suddenly looked serious.

It was an inferior magic formation of the fourth level.

Chu Xun was overwhelmed by astonishment. He was the only one who knew what a fourth-level formation represented.

It indicated that the cultivator behind Long Ao was at least in the Nascent Soul Stage and might be even stronger than that.

A man in the Nascent Soul Stage could cause the mountains to fall, the earth to split, the flood to dry up, and the ground to collapse, with a wave of his hand. Besides, he could wipe out a small country like Gaoli, Country Y easily. Except for nuclear weapons, nothing could pose a threat to him.

At the moment, even Chu Xun felt a little terrified. If a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage attacked him, he would not be able to even flee, and the cultivator could kill him with a lift of his finger.

Chu Xun wondered if he should return back those hard-earned treasures.

“No.” Chu Xun thought to himself and gave up the idea. He was Immortal Emperor Chu, and though he lost most of his cultivation for the time being, he would not chicken out without a fight.

Chu Xun’s eyes were as bright as sharp blades, and he was full of a domineering aura. “Since I took them, I’ll just keep them. Who could do anything to me?”

Chu Xun made up his mind and looked at the fourth-level formation in front of him with an expression of pity on his face. With his current cultivation, it was impossible for him to break a fourth-level formation. Nevertheless, he really wanted to see what was hidden behind it.

Though he was reluctant to leave, he dared not to stay there either. The formation that trapped Long Ao would not hold on for long, so he’d better go now; otherwise, once Long Ao broke free from the formation, let alone the powerful figure in the Nascent Soul Stage, even he could cause much trouble to Chu Xun.

Chu Xun rushed to the exit of the cave at full speed, making sonic booming sounds. With each of his steps, he crossed a dozen meters. Several minutes later, he was a few kilometers away from the cave. Of course, he did not forget to bring the four luminous pearls on the wall with him.

...

...

Boom!

The formation that Chu Xun set up to trap Long Ao exploded and disappeared with winds.

Long Ao smashed the formation with his fists and finally broke free.

Though he looked awkward, it also proved that he was very powerful.

With a furious expression in his eyes, Long Ao raised his eyebrows but found that Chu Xun was not there.

“You escaped? That’s very smart of you, kid.”

However, soon, he realized he was wrong. His expression changed, and when he flashed to the front yard in the blink of an eye, the open door of the cave greeted him. He rushed into the cave in a hurry.

“Chu Xun...”

The roaring voice caused the ground to shake.

Azure Dragon and the amiable old man looked at each other in the back yard, confused.

“Should we take Elder Long to hospital for a checkup?” the amiable old man said worriedly.

Azure Dragon was speechless and went to the front yard. Judging from the roaring voice, he realized that Chu Xun must have done something unforgivable that enraged his master very much.

“Well, that’s interesting!” the amiable old man murmured, and it seemed that he was gloating over Long Ao’s misfortune. He then swaggered his way to the front yard as well.

Long Ao’s eyes were burning with anger, and his hair stood on end in rage. He looked like a mad lion.

After he rushed out of the cave, he moved the dragon carvings to their original place. Following one direction, he roared angrily and started to hunt Chu Xun at a lightning speed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Azure Dragon and the amiable old man, who just reached the front yard, saw Long Ao flash across the place, and could still hear his roaring voice.

“What has that kid done?” The amiable old man was a little shocked and wondered what Chu Xun had done to drive Long Ao so mad. It was the first time that he had seen Long Ao get furious like that.

Azure Dragon was stunned as well and wondered to himself, “Was that furious man really my immortal-like and steady master? What has Chu Xun done that enraged my master so much and made him lose his composure?”

Chu Xun fled at a fast speed and dared not take a rest at all. He seemed to hear Long Ao’s mad voice.

Chu Xun would escape at such a speed mainly because he felt guilty. Long Ao was not as fast as Chu Xun. What was more, he went in the wrong direction, opposite to the direction that Chu Xun fled. Thus, he would not meet Chu Xun unless he circled the earth.

Long Ao chased to several kilometers away, but still did not see Chu Xun. His beard rose up in anger as he thundered, “You damn thief Chu Xun, I won’t let you off this time!”

Chu Xun was so merciless that it was no exaggeration to say that he robbed the place while leaving no stone unturned. He even took away the luminous pearls on the wall. The cave, where used to be a place full of treasures, now became a valueless one. Fortunately, Chu Xun did not break into the latter formations, or Long Ao would hunt him wherever he went and then commit suicide so as to apologize to Ancestor Long.

Though he knew he could not find Chu Xun, Long Ao still could not help but roar to vent his anger and depression.

Until he got tired cursing, he went back with a livid face.

Seeing Long Ao back, Azure Dragon walked to him hurriedly and asked with concern, “Are you alright, master?”

Long Ao shook his head angrily.

“Master, Senior Chu told me to give you this.” Azure Dragon handed a piece of paper to Long Ao with both hands.

After receiving it, Long Ao looked even more furious. The paper turned out to be the loan agreement he gave Chu Xun, only that there were several lines of words on its back.

It read: Elder Long, you made a fortune that I bought these weeds from you with 5 billion yuan. I guess you must be laughing in joy now, right? That’s ok, because I’m willing to let you gain this profit at my expense. I have always been doing fair businesses, cheating neither the old nor the young, so you don’t have to thank me. Now, we’re even, and you no longer need to feel guilty for owing me money. Forgive me for not saying farewell in person, for I’m afraid you would be reluctant to part me. Just as a saying goes, it’s better to miss each other than meet. See you again in Jianghu—your sincere friend, Chu Xun.

Snap!

The paper was torn into pieces, which were blown away by winds.

Long Ao’s face turned purple with anger, and his lips trembled.

With a frown, he asked in a trembling voice, “When did he give this to you?”

“About a dozen minutes ago. He also took the top official with him,” Azure Dragon crinkled his neck and replied, frightened by Long Ao’s aura.

Long Ao was even more enraged to hear that Chu Xun went back when he went out to chase him and that Chu Xun even took away the amiable old man.

“So you watched him leave without doing anything?”

Azure Dragon lowered his head and dared not to reply. He felt very aggrieved as he had no choice but to watch Chu Xun leave. If he dared to stop Chu Xun, Chu Xun would beat him up, so he was helpless about it.

Bang!

Long Ao kicked Azure Dragon away.

“From now on, I’m going to start seclusion to practice, and when I come out again, I hope I will see my yard as perfect as before.” After saying this, Long Ao turned to leave.

Azure Dragon wanted to shed tears. He did nothing wrong, yet he was dragged into this.

“Rest assured, master, when you finish your seclusion, you’ll find your yard exactly the same as before,” Azure Dragon said with tearful eyes.

Long Ao nodded and walked away.

“Master, what about the top official?” Azure Dragon asked.

“Just mind your own business,” Long Ao answered without looking back.

Long Ao guessed that the amiable old man must have gone with Chu Xun himself because Chu Xun would not have dared to go against the whole country by kidnapping the amiable old man.

He walked faster toward his secret chamber and almost could not hold back his anger anymore. “Damn you, Thief Chu Xun.” he cursed inwardly.
