Chapter 228: Coming by Order!

Chapter 228 Coming by Order!

“Kid, be honest with me. Where have you been in the past decades?” Long Ao complained.

The point was that he refused to believe that Chu Xun became so powerful now. Back when he first met Chu Xun, he could defeat him with one hand.

Now, the situation changed completely—Chu Xun could defeat him with only one hand.

“I went to look for your ancestors,” Chu Xun teased. It was rare for him to do so.

Long Ao shrank his neck and said in a low voice, “Did you learn all these skills from Ancestor Long?”

“He was not that powerful to teach me these.” Chu Xun made fun of Emperor Ao.

“Kid, I’m warning you, don’t be disrespectful to Ancestor Long. Otherwise, I’ll fight against you with all my might.” Long Ao threatened Chu Xun.

Chu Xun glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and mocked him deliberately, “Well, you’ll get killed before you could exert your might, ok?”

Long Ao rolled his eyes and did not know how to reply.

The two of them returned to Qianlong Mountain, squabbling all the way.

...

At the foot of the mountain, an old man looked at Qianlong Mountain with a frown, and couldn’t find the way up the mountain. Just as he was at his wit’s end, he happened to see Chu Xun and Long Ao.

Chu Xun knew this old man, who was the teacher of the top official. They hadn’t seen each other for more than a decade. Now, the old man was a fifth-grade Grandmaster.

“Mr. Chu, Senior Long.”

The old man stepped forward and bowed respectfully toward them. The strong could be the teacher of the weak. Chu Xun and Long Ao could easily crush the old man with a single finger.

“Zhong Ren, why are you here?” Long Ao asked. They were old acquaintances, and he had once taught Zhong Ren.

“I’m here by order,” Zhong Ren said respectfully.

Chu Xun and Long Ao looked at each other. They believed that Zhong Ren was there under the order of the top official.”

“Let’s go. This isn’t a good place to talk.”

Chu Xun waved his hand, and the path led to the mountain appeared.

Zhong Ren was shocked inside and thought Chu Xun’s skill amazing.

On their way up the mountain, Zhong Ren repeatedly thanked Chu Xun for saving his life. Back then, if it weren’t for Chu Xun saving him, he would have died long ago.

“You’re really well-informed. You know my whereabouts clearly. I suspect that you’re watching over me with the satellite.” Chu Xun teased. In fact, he knew that it was Emperor Ao who told the top official about his whereabouts so that those guys could find him wherever he went.

Emperor Ao was really the guardian of Huaxia.

“Mr. Chu, you must be joking. I’m afraid that all the people of the entire Martial Tao World have known that you’ve come out,” Zhong Ren said with a smile.

“Hm?” Chu Xun looked at him with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Zhong Ren took out his mobile phone and logged in the Martial Tao Forum. Then he handed the phone to Chu Xun and said respectfully, “Please have a look, Mr. Chu.”

Chu Xun took the phone and saw that the whole forum was full of his name.

“The Return of Immortal Chu!”

“Having Disappeared for 15 Years, He Killed Human King Angrily as soon as He Returned!”

“The Devil Lord Chu Came Back and Killed Three Kings in Succession—Who Can Compete with Him?”

...

...

All the tiles of the posts were related to him.

After a moment of silence, Chu Xun asked, “What’s this?”

Zhong Ren explained how the Martial Tao Forum was established.

Until then, Chu Xun learned that the forum was built for him.

“This isn’t something good,” Long Ao said in a low voice.

Chu Xun nodded in agreement. Those arrogant words, such as “Lord Chu came back”, “killed Human King angrily”, “who can compete with him”, and etc., were written deliberately by someone who wanted to lavish praise on him.

“I don’t care. I hope they know what’s good for them and don’t court death.” Chu Xun snorted coldly.

...

As soon as the three of them went up the mountain, Tang Rou ran over with a sweet smile and said, “Brother Chu Xun, you’re back.”

Chu Xun nodded and ruffled her hair.

“Lass, you just saw Chu Xun and couldn’t see me?” Long Ao teased her.

Tang Rou was a shy girl, and her face immediately blushed.

“Where are the others?” Chu Xun asked.

“They’ve all gone to downtown. I’m here to wait for you, Brother Chu Xun,” Tang Rou said.

“Will they run into danger?” Long Ao was a little worried about them.

“I don’t think so. With their current cultivation, they will be able to protect themselves unless they encounter Grandmasters above the fifth grade,” Chu Xun replied.

“Grandmasters are busy with hunting fierce beasts now and rarely stay in downtown. So they’ll be fine,” Zhong Ren said. Although those fierce beasts were terrifying, every part of their bodies was precious. There was nothing more attractive to the warriors than strengthening their cultivation.

While talking, the three of them walked into the main hall and sat around a table.

Tang Rou made some tea for the three of them and then sat aside obediently.

“What did you come to see me for?” Chu Xun asked Zhong Ren.

“I came here by the order of the elderly official. He wanted you to take charge of the Fire Dragon Palace, Mr. Chu.”

The Fire Dragon Palace?

“What kind of a place is it?” Chu Xun asked.

“The Fire Dragon Palace is an organization made up of officials and people from the Martial Tao World. They kill fierce beasts and protect the people,” Zhong Ren explained.

“Who is the former chief of the Fire Dragon Palace?” Chu Xun asked.

“Originally, Elder Gao Qingling was the chief. However, three months ago, he fell into a trap when he hunted a Silver Lightning Leopard and died, unfortunately. Thus, the position of the leader of the palace is vacant now.”

“You can just choose another leader, can’t you?”

Zhong Ren smiled bitterly and replied, “It’s not that simple. The Fire Dragon Palace is becoming stronger and stronger as a force that mustn’t be underestimated. The struggles within it are complicated, and everyone wants to be the leader of it. Because the warriors are not under the control of the government, they became a headache of the top official.”

“So, he couldn’t wait to leave this trouble to me?” Chu Xun questioned sarcastically.

“Mr. Chu, you’re mistaken. The top official said that if you don’t want to accept the position, he won’t force you and will let Elder Long take it,” Zhong Ren replied.

“Me?” Long Ao jumped up after hearing the words. With an expression of unwillingness, he waved his hand and said, “Don’t count on me. I’m old and like to lead an idle life. I don’t want to be bothered by those affairs.”

Chu Xun remained silent. What he meant was clear—”don’t count on me”.

Zhong Ren felt helpless and said with a bitter smile, “Senior Long, the top official told me that Azure Dragon was in the Fire Dragon Palace and got injured yesterday.”

“What?” Long Ao’s eyes widened. “Repeat your words.”

“Azure Dragon leading the 12 Constellations joined the Fire Dragon Palace, but they were too weak and were bullied by others. In a fight yesterday, he got injured.”

“F*ck, who is it that dared to hurt my disciple? He must be courting death.” Long Ao was furious and stamped his feet in anger. “Let’s go to the capital city. I want to see who this arrogant man is.”

“Senior Long, if you go there like this, they will regard you as an enemy and take you down together.” Zhong Ren reminded him.

“Take me down together?” Long Ao was stunned for a while before saying with disdain, “It’s still uncertain who’s going to be taken down. They are just a group of good-for-nothings, and I’ll kill them all with one hand.”

A strange expression flashed across Zhong Ren’s eyes as he said, “You may not know about the Fire Dragon Palace, Senior Long. There are three Human Kings, seven half Human Kings, and several hundred Grandmasters in the Fire Dragon Palace.”

Long Ao was stunned and swallowed his saliva. “Three Human Kings, and seven half Human Kings...This is indeed a very terrifying force.”

“Zhong Ren, you’re itching for strikes, are you? How dare you make fun of me?” There was a dangerous expression in Long Ao’s eyes.

Zhong Ren was startled and said in a hurry, “Don’t get me wrong, Senior Long. How dare I make fun of you?”

“You still dare to deny it?” Long Ao was furious. “There are so many Human Kings in that palace, and still, you wanted me to take charge of it. Aren’t you trying to embarrass me deliberately?”

As soon as Long Ao finished speaking, he sent a palm down.

Bang!

Zhong Ren was knocked out of the door by the palm.

Long Ao rushed out of the room in a flash. Outside the door, wailing and howling sounds could be heard and didn’t die down until a long while later.

Chu Xun and Tang Rou went out.

They saw Zhong Ren lying on the ground with his face black and blue and tears all over his face.

“Let’s see if you still dare to tease me again.” Long Ao rolled up his sleeves and was about to continue to teach Zhong Ren a lesson.

“Senior Long, I really didn’t make fun of you. The top official said that it had to be you or Mr. Chu because no one else has higher cultivation than you,” Zhong Ren said the words as quickly as possible and almost bit his tongue several times. He complained secretly that Long Ao was so savage.

“Uh!”

Long Ao was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had misunderstood Zhong Ren.

He looked at Chu Xun.

“Rourou, let’s go look for them in downtown,” Chu Xun said.

“Sure!” Tang Rou smiled sweetly.

Swoosh!

Chu Xun disappeared with Tang Rou in the blink of an eye, like a flash of flowing light.

Long Ao was amazed for a while, then rushed to the edge of the cliff and shouted, “Kid, don’t think about hiding away. Only you can shock those Human Kings. You can’t just stand by and watch me get abused, can you?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll close my eyes and don’t watch. Besides, it’s none of my business. Azure Dragon isn’t my disciple.” Chu Xun’s figure appeared at the foot of the mountain.

Long Ao was rendered speechless.

“Senior Long, what should we do now?” Zhong Ren got up from the ground and followed him, with a bitter expression on his face.

“Is Azure Dragon really injured?” Long Ao asked.

Zhong Ren’s expression became serious as he said, “Yes. He fought against someone over a beast bone, and his opponent was an eighth-grade Grandmaster with a half Human King as his backup and injured Azure Dragon with one palm.”

Long Ao’s eyes were blazing, and his face was full of anger. Azure Dragon was a fifth-grade Grandmaster, so he was no match for an eighth-grade Grandmaster.

Bang!

Zhong Ren suddenly fell backward and fell to the ground more than a dozen meters away.

“Bastards! How could you guys just stand there and watch them injure Azure Dragon?” Long Ao questioned angrily.

Zhong Ren felt like weeping but had no tears. He wanted to call him names and curse him, but he was afraid of being beaten up even more. Thus, he could only endure the toothache and explain, “I wasn’t there at that time. When I received the news and rushed there, he already got injured. I had argued with the man that beat Azure Dragon, and they said they were willing to compensate Azure Dragon for the sake of the country, but they refused to apologize.”

“Bastards.” Long Ao gritted his teeth. “Come, let’s go to the capital.”

“Us?” Zhong Ren was shocked.

As far as he knew, Long Ao was only a half Human King, so it was useless for him to go there.

“Don’t worry. That kid Chu Xun won’t let me get injured.” Long Ao was full of confidence.

However, Zhong Ren still felt worried.

“Let’s go, hurry up. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up.” Long Ao turned around and left.

Zhong Ren was stunned. He shook his head helplessly and stepped forward to follow Long Ao.

...

Chu Xun and Tang Rou entered the downtown area.

Because of the mutation of earth, Gujiang City was several times bigger than before. There were high mountains and towering trees in the downtown area. The place was as crowded as before because the people of the Martial Tao World had come out, though there were just some warriors in the Innate Realm and Acquired Realm. The Grandmasters were busy hunting the fierce beasts.

Roar!

There was an astonishing beast’s roar.

Chu Xun and Tang Rou saw a young man who was dressed in luxurious clothes and riding on a giant white tiger. The young man held a jade fan in his hand and looked majestic.

“Brother Chu Xun, look.”

Chu Xun raised his head and saw a giant white crane with seven-or-eight-meter long wings. The crane swooped down from the sky, bringing a strong gust of wind with it. Blew by the wind, the pedestrians on the street started to waver.

The white crane landed on the ground, and a simply-dressed, sexy-looking woman jumped down from the crane.

Moo!

A huge, three-to-four-meter-high black bull slowly walked over. As it breathed, two streams of white smoke drifted out of its nose like two white snakes. Its bowl-sized hooves fell on the ground and cracked where it stepped.

A ragged, stinky, middle-aged man was lying on the bull’s back. He crossed his legs and rubbed his feet with one hand. After that, he put the hand under his nose and sniffed it, showing an intoxicated look.

Most of the people around him were ordinary civilians, and they all tried to avoid him when they saw him. They all had an expression of disgust on their faces, but they dared not voice their anger.

At this time, an uproar broke out.

A young man riding on a fierce-looking green wolf with a big mouth and sharp fangs came over.

As the passers-by all tried to avoid the wolf, a seven or eight-year-old girl was scared out of her wits. She stood in the middle of the road and blocked the green wolf’s way.

The wolf was irritated. It let out a low roar and showed its fangs. Mucus dripped down from its teeth as it opened its bloody mouth and bit toward the little girl viciously.

However, the young man that rode on the wolf showed no intention of stopping the wolf.

The pedestrians around all screamed in horror.
