Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 389 - 386: The Wily Tiger!

Central Continent, Yuann Family:

At this time, the high-level members of the Yuann Family were all gathered in the main hall:

Yuann Jintian, the current Family Head, sat at the head seat, while the others were seated on both sides.

Unusually, this Yuann family meeting included an outsider.

That person was none other than Medicine King Valley’s Great Elder, Pang Guang!

He was exceedingly humble, delineating his purpose in great detail.

After hearing Pang Guang’s account, the Yuann Family members were instantly up in arms.

Especially Yuann Jinsan, Yuann Family’s Old Six, whose most beloved grandson, Yuann Hua, had one of his ears cut off by Immortal Master Li not long ago in Hang City.

They wanted to form an alliance with Heavenly Master Sect and the Long Family to jointly confront Immortal Master Li.

But who would have thought Gongzi Yuu would be so incompetent? Barely a month after he assumed the position of Sect Leader, he was slain. Not only did he meet a boneless demise, but he also dragged the entire Heavenly Master Sect down with him. Because of this, Yuann Jinsan harbored pent-up frustration for quite some time.

Now, there emerged another chance for revenge. How could he not be delighted?

He briefly gathered his thoughts and was the first to stand out and say, "Eldest Brother, in my opinion, those two Li’s are from the same clan. The Li Family didn’t dare to reach out blatantly into the Jiangnan region and created Immortal Master Li in the shadows, which is utterly condemnable."

"If we do not take precautions and prepare in advance, should that young Li Chen grow in power over time, our Yuann Family may follow in the footsteps of the Heavenly Master Sect, falling into a pit of eternal doom without hope of rising again!"

Other members of the Yuann Family also felt the threat from the rise of Immortal Master Li, and various signs suggested that the so-called Immortal Master Li might indeed be a member of the Imperial City Li Family. The Yuann Family had always been at odds with the Li Family, so how could they stand idly by and watch their archenemy rise in power?

Moreover, Immortal Master Li had cut off an ear of Yuann Hua some time ago; this was like slapping the Yuann Family’s face outright, without restraint.

Tolerable or intolerable, if an uncle could bear it, the aunt certainly could not.

Third Son of the Yuann Family also stood up and echoed, "Eldest Brother, Old Six is right. After all these years of our Yuann Family’s patience, if we do not show our fangs now, I fear other families might encroach upon us and disrespect us right on our own turf!"

Since taking over as Family Head, Yuann Jintian had always adhered to the ancestral teachings, keeping a low-profile and patient stance. Some time before, when Old Six, Yuann Jinsan, requested to send someone to assassinate Immortal Master Li and avenge his grandson Yuann Hua, he forcefully suppressed this proposal in favor of wait-and-see.

Now that Medicine King Valley, the iron-clad ally of the Li Family, has come forward to pledge fealty, if he continues to be forbearing, he might lose his authority as Family Head.

Moreover, taking action against Immortal Master Li would not only deal a heavy blow to the Li Family, cutting off one of its arms but also allow them to obtain that thousand-year-old snow lotus at the pinnacle of the Earth, killing two birds with one stone. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

With these thoughts in mind, he coughed lightly twice, casting a surveying glance downwards, and asked in a deep voice, "Since Immortal Master Li was able to slay Gongzi Yuu, he must have reached the Demigod Realm. Who among you is willing to take on this heavy responsibility and head to the peak of the Earth to intercept him?"

Before he could even finish, everyone present fell silent. They looked at each other, exchanging glances but without a volunteer in sight.

It’s easy to talk big, but when it comes to directly facing Immortal Master Li, who is like a Killing God, they lacked the courage.

There was much murmuring below, and the meeting hall turned into a cacophony, but despite the lengthy discussion, not a single person stepped forward.

Yuann Jinsan stroked his beard and respectfully suggested, "Eldest Brother, if we make a move, the Li Family is sure to not stand idly by. In my opinion, why not send word to the Fourth Brother overseas and have him handle this?"

"Old Six is correct, the Overseas Hongmen under our Fourth Brother is filled with experts. If we let him take charge of this affair, it will surely be foolproof, and we’ll effortlessly dodge the sight and hearing of the Li Family!"

What Yuann Family’s Fourth Son referred to was the line of Yuann Kewen, son of Yuann Datou. Back in those days, due to the discord between father and son when Yuann Datou proclaimed himself emperor, coupled with Yuann Kewen’s forthright nature and keen interest in worldly society, he ceased concerning himself with political affairs, venturing alone to the Ten Miles of Foreign Market in West Sea, gathering numerous disciples and establishing the Red Gang.

At that time, he was as renowned as Green Gang’s big shot Du Yuesheng and the old master Zhang Xiaolin of the Four Directions Dragon Hall at West Beach, collectively known as the three top figures of the Republic’s worldly society.

After the establishment of the new Huaxia, he backed the wrong horse and, fearing a massive purge, led the Hong Sect elite core to flee overseas and renamed it Overseas Hongmen.

After more than half a century of recuperation, Hongmen’s influence has spread all over the globe. Not only are there a plethora of experts within their ranks, but they also act as military contractors, active in war-torn regions like Africa.

Many African nations have the shadow of Hongmen behind them. Toppling the government of a small or medium-sized country is a walk in the park for them. This gives a glimpse into the extent of their terrifying power.

Yuann Jintian made the final decision, slamming down his hand and declaring, "Well then, we’ll follow Old Six’s suggestion. Send a message to Old Four and have his Overseas Hongmen people intercept Immortal Master Li at the summit of the Earth, Mount Everest, and seize the thousand-year-old snow lotus!"

...

After leaving Medicine King Valley, Li Chen didn’t head straight for the summit of the Earth, Mount Everest, but instead returned to Hang City.

The incident with Ye Chuxue still weighed on his conscience. Hence, before setting out on this long journey, he had to be fully prepared to avoid any accidents occurring again.

At this moment, Ye Chuxue was lying on her bed, staring at a video without so much as blinking.

This was a video uploaded by netizens with a very catchy title: New Century Wu Song Fighting a Tiger!

The video was shot by an amateur, with many shaky scenes, mostly focusing on the large tiger, while the main character "Wu Song" was just a blurred silhouette. One couldn’t make out any specific facial expressions, let alone the most basic gender characteristics.

However, Ye Chuxue was well aware that the "Wu Song" in the video was far away yet close at hand.

Casually, she pushed Li Chen, who lay beside her, and blinking her sparkling eyes, asked, "Brother Li Chen, which is more formidable, this tiger or Little Cutie?"

Li Chen thought for a moment and replied, "The tiger is a bit more formidable. After all, it has lived for more than a thousand years. Even though most of that time was spent in a dog’s body, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. But Little Dragon compared to it would be evenly matched; it’s likely they’d be at a stalemate."

Ye Chuxue tilted her little head and asked naively, "Over a thousand years... wouldn’t that mean it has become a spirit?"

Li Chen nodded and said, "Right, didn’t you see it breathing fire at me?"

Hearing this, Ye Chuxue asked with concern, "Did it burn you?"

Li Chen gently pecked her fair and tender cheek.

"What do you think, Xue’er?"

Seeing that Li Chen was teasing her again, Ye Chuxue reflexively turned over.

She would have been better off not turning, for as she did, Li Chen’s hand slipped and unintentionally touched the mountainous region below her neck.

The situation instantly became awkward.

After a moment of silence, Ye Chuxue timidly asked with a blush, "Is it big?"

Li Chen was taken aback, "What’s big?"

When Ye Chuxue saw that Li Chen was pretending not to understand, she kicked him out of bed like a rabbit attacking an eagle.

"Go to hell!"

It was then that Li Chen finally understood, with a naughty smile he replied, "I wouldn’t know, I’ve never touched another girl’s."

After making that comment, the image of Lin Xuanfei uncontrollably surfaced in his mind. And also that beautiful misunderstanding at the school gate.

It had been a while since he had seen that girl. He wondered how she was doing studying abroad in the UK?
