Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 435 - 432: Storm is Coming, Wind Fills the Building! [Third Midnight Update]
Chapter 435: Chapter 432: Storm is Coming, Wind Fills the Building! [Third Midnight Update]
Mei Ruohua and Qin Feng were very efficient in handling their tasks; they had all the jade stones Li Chen needed delivered to Jiangnan before the 15th.
Taking a bold risk, Long Wujiang ventured to ask: "Alliance Hierarch, what do you need so many jade stones for?"
Li Chen’s gaze suddenly turned cold, startling Long Wujiang. He quickly bowed his head, not daring to meet his eyes.
"Shouldn’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, don’t you even understand this rule?"
Long Wujiang shivered with fear and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Li Chen waved his hand and said, "Alright, let this be the last time. You have done very well this time, wait until I finish my current business, then you will be handsomely rewarded!"
"Thank you, Alliance Hierarch!"
Although Long Wujiang looked utterly frightened, deep down in his heart he thought viciously:
Hmph, Immortal Master Li, once you’re busy with your task, it will be time for you to go meet King Yan!
After leaving Li Chen’s presence, he couldn’t wait to call Yuann Jintian to report the situation here.
"Finished reporting?"
However, just as he hung up, a voice akin to the Death God’s suddenly reached his ears.
Long Wujiang glanced sideways and upon seeing the person, his soul nearly scattered in fright.
"Li, Li, Immortal Master Li?"
Li Chen sneered sinisterly: "Speak, who were you passing messages to?"
Realizing he had been exposed, a fierce and ruthless look flashed in Long Wujiang’s eyes as he abruptly lashed out at Li Chen.
"You who do not know whether you’re dead or alive!"
Li Chen lifted a finger, a Light Blade tore through the sky and slashed off Long Wujiang’s arm.
In an instant, blood gushed out like a waterfall!
Li Chen watched the ghastly Long Wujiang and said coldly: "Now, you can talk, right?"
Long Wujiang mustered courage from who knows where, bit down hard, and shouted: "Immortal Master Li, just kill me, if Long Wujiang even furrows his brow, he’s no man!"
"Swish!"
Li Chen formed his fingers into a blade again and chopped off his other arm as well.
"You think if you don’t speak, I won’t have any way to deal with you?"
The chilling words still echoed in the air as Li Chen suddenly stepped forward and struck Long Wujiang’s head with a palm.
"Soul Capturing!"
After struggling in pain for a moment, Long Wujiang’s soul and memories were all seized by Li Chen.
Quickly sorting through the captured information, a sudden burst of murderous intent appeared in Li Chen’s eyes.
"Central Continent Yuann Family, Bashu Tang Sect, Miao Territory Ghost Sect, what a bold move!"
"Young Master!"
"Alliance Hierarch!"
Mei Ruohua and Qin Feng emerged from either side, cupping their hands in salute to Li Chen.
Li Chen took out a tissue, gently wiped the blood off his hands, and said, "Qin Feng, Ruohua, I have a task for you!"
...
Meanwhile, at the Central Continent Yuann Family:
Deputy Sect Master Yingg Gui of the Yin Ghost Sect and Master Tang Qianqiu, the Great Grandmaster in concealed weapons from the Tang Sect, had both received invitations from the Yuann Family and came to the meeting.
Yuann Jintian greeted each of them with a bow and said: "I just received a secret report from Long Wujiang. Immortal Master Li is preparing to absorb spiritual power from jade stones at Yuhua Mountain for his breakthrough, which presents a once-in-a-millennium opportunity to take him down."
"If we miss this chance and let him break through his bottleneck, then looking across the entirety of Huaxia, no one will be his match. By that time, our three families will likely face a major disaster!"
"Immortal Master Li, that bastard, killed the Qilin of our Tang Family; this enmity is irreconcilable. If we don’t tear him to pieces, my heart will never be appeased!"
The first to express his stance was Tang Qianqiu. His words were filled with bitterness, practically wishing he could reduce Li Chen to ashes immediately.
"Several Elders of our Yin Ghost Sect have fallen at the hands of Immortal Master Li. Our Sect Master said that if our three families join forces and successfully slay him, the Miao Territory Ghost Sect will become an ally of the Yuan Family, never to betray!"
Ying Gui was not to be outdone, following up with his statement.
Yuann Jintian was very satisfied with their attitude and nodded, "Very good!"
After speaking, he turned his gaze toward the High-level Venerated Elder, Feng Yunhai.
"Master Feng, could you please accompany Vice Sect Master Ying and Master Tang on a trip to Yuhua Mountain? If this mission to kill Immortal Master Li is successful, my Yuan Family will be sure to reward you handsomely!"
"Thank you, Family Head!"
Feng Yunhai stepped forward and gave Yuann Jintian a salute with cupped hands.
Yuann Jintian then glanced over the three of them and shouted loudly: "Servants, bring wine! Let’s toast to strength for the three masters!"
After the toast was finished, Yuann Jintian called over Old Six.
"Old Six, that Immortal Master Li has a girlfriend named Ye Chuxue who studies at Jiangnan University. Take your men there now and capture her. In case Master Yuan fails, having this trump card in hand will force him to hold back in fear of injuring the hostage!"
"Alright, I’ll take my men there now. I’ve heard Immortal Master Li’s little girlfriend is heavenly in appearance; her flavor must be exceptionally exquisite!"
As he said this, Yuann Jinsan, the old lecher, couldn’t help but lick his cracked lips.
Clouds gather at the beginning of the stream as the sun sets behind the pavilion; the mountain air is heavy with the promise of rain and the wind fills the tower.
The entirety of Jiangnan is shrouded in a deadly aura.
But at this moment, the campus of Jiangnan University is still brimming with life, full of the vitality of youth.
Li Chen spent the night setting up a Binding Spirit Formation without taking a moment to rest, and then hurriedly rushed back to school to find Ye Chuxue.
After the incident with Gongzi Yu, even though he made all possible preparations, he still couldn’t stop worrying about Ye Chuxue.
If anything were to happen to his beloved girl, even if he won the whole world, it would be as if he had been utterly defeated.
When he arrived, Ye Chuxue was chatting and laughing with Lan Huanxi and two other sisters from her dormitory.
Upon seeing Li Chen, Ye Chuxue greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Li Chen, you’re just in time. There’s a meteor shower tonight at Yuhua Mountain, and we were just discussing going to see it. Would you like to join us?"
Hearing that Ye Chuxue and the others planned to go to Yuhua Mountain, Li Chen felt a sudden shock in his heart.
"The meteor shower won’t start until midnight. Aren’t you girls afraid of the danger?"
"The area around Yuhua Mountain is a scenic spot with good security; what dangers could there be? You’re not scared to go, are you?"
The speaker was Wang Rui, a local from Jiangnan and the boyfriend of Anjin. He was also the organizer of this trip to watch the meteor shower at Yuhua Mountain.
Anjin also parted her lips slightly and said, "It’s said that this kind of meteor shower is incredibly rare, happening once in a hundred years. We would regret missing it for the rest of our lives if we don’t go!"
After she spoke, she turned to Lan Huanxi and said, "Huanxi, are you coming with us?"
Lan Huanxi didn’t respond but instead looked to Li Chen with an inquiring gaze.
Seeing Lan Huanxi’s hesitation, Anjin stepped forward, taking her hand and reassuringly said, "Huanxi, don’t worry. My Wang Rui is on the provincial free combat team. Five or six thugs would never get close to him. With him there, there won’t be any danger!"
"Miss Ye, if your boyfriend can’t protect you, I can keep you safe!" A tall and burly male student, wearing a grin of ingratiating friendliness, stepped forward to strike up a conversation with Ye Chuxue.
As he spoke, he deliberately flexed his biceps in front of Li Chen.
However, Ye Chuxue dismissed him with just one word.
"Go away!"
