The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 567 Fleeing for Their Lives

This time, all the warriors in Yanxue City heard it very clearly.

The arrogant man claimed to be Chu Xun.

Wait?

The expressions of all the warriors changed at almost the same time.

“Chu Xun... Isn’t he Chu the Devil?”

Those eccentric warriors shrank their necks and didn’t dare to make a sound anymore.

Being eccentric or not depended on whom they were faced with.

Faced with Chu the Devil, being eccentric was courting death.

It seemed that Chu the Devil came here for the sake of the Yan family.

Some people rushed toward Chu Xun, wanting to see Chu the Devil in person.

Not long after Chu Xun’s second roar, many warriors gathered where he was.

“Do you know the whereabouts of the Yan family?” Chu Xun asked.

“I know it,” a warrior said to Chu Xun, “seven days ago, late at night, a group of people attacked the Yan family. They were powerful.”

“Do you know who they are?”

The warrior shook his head.

“Does anyone else know anything?” Chu Xun asked.

“I saw the people of the Yan family fled northwest,” someone said.

Northwest?

Chu Xun thought for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up. “Could it be that the people of the Yan family fled to the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy?”

However, that was only his guess. He needed more accurate information.

After some inquiries, Chu Xun didn’t get any more information.

He could only get a rough overview of what happened that night.

That night, a group of powerful people ambushed the people of the Yan family. Then they even fought Elder Ancestor of the Yan family.

Even the Elder Ancestor was no match for them.

Yan Guilai, together with his relatives and the disciples of the Yan family, fled northwest.

“Thank you very much!” Chu Xun thanked the warriors.

He got on the flying ship and sped northwest.

Gao Mohan contacted Yue Jingchou by his cell phone.

“How is it going on?” Chu Xun asked.

Gao Mohan shook his head and said, “The situation of the Yan family may not be optimistic. Jingchou has led people to search in our direction.”

Chu Xun’s eyes were cold.

According to the warriors, Yan Wushuang and Flaming Qilin stayed in Yanxue City for not long. Then they went northwest.

Chu Xun drove the flying ship quickly.

“Brother Chu, do you have any suspects?” Gao Mohan asked.

Chu Xun shook his head and said, “I have a few suspects, but I’m not sure. I have a feeling that they are probably from the Assembly of Immortals.”

“I suspect they are from the Assembly of Immortals too,” Gao Mohan said.

According to the warriors, the Yan family was attacked seven days ago, during Chu Xun’s wedding.

The people from the Liu Family appeared.

People of the alien races appeared.

Only the people of the Assembly of Immortals, who had a deep hatred for Chu Xun, did not appear.

It was abnormal.

“No matter who they are, I hope Yan Guilai and the others are safe now,” Chu Xun said in a low voice and drove the flying ship again.

Out of Yanxue City, there were several corpses at the end of a gorge road 1,500 kilometers northwest.

Two figures rushed over at high speed.

They were Yan Wushuang and Flaming Qilin.

Yan Wushuang’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

“They were disciples of our Yan family.”

Yan Wushuang rushed forward.

Here was a gorge road with high mountains on both sides and a road in the middle. It was only a dozen meters wide.

Looking up, because the mountains on both sides were too high, they could only see a line of the sky.

This gorge road was also called Line of the Sky.

The gorge road was about tens of kilometers long and appeared after the movement of the earth’s crust.

The two walked for a few hundred meters and came across several corpses again.

Flaming Qilin looked at Yan Wushuang.

Yan Wushuang nodded slightly. Yes, they were also disciples of the Yan family.

The traces of battles everywhere on the road meant that they were not chasing in the wrong direction.

The several-dozen-kilometer-long gorge road for the people of the Yan family was like a bridge to Hell.

Yan Guilai, Bi Keyun, and an elder were guarding the rear.

The others were running in a panic.

They had experienced dozens of bloody battles over the past seven or eight days.

Yan Guilai and the elder beside him urged the others to run away while nervously watching what was going on behind them.

Yan Guilai knew that the group of people was waiting for an opportunity to kill all of them. They would not let the Yan Guilai and the others escape to the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy alive.

Yan Guilai held an Amethyst Mine in his hand.

It was a kind of natural ore that could be used to create frighteningly powerful bombs.

The technique of producing the bombs was lost.

The people of the Yan family had found more than a dozen Amethyst Mines in an ancient relic.

The Amethyst Mine was capable of injuring the experts at the later stage of the Immortal Level.

It was because those people were afraid of Amethyst Mine that they didn’t dare to approach.

He had only acquired dozens of Amethyst Mines.

He used half of them before, only a few left.

Yan Guilai did not dare to use it rashly.

Keeping rushing for days had exhausted every one of the Yan family.

To survive, they did not dare to stop rushing.

Together with the disciples of the Yan family were the members of the Chamber of Lead-Glass.

The group of people was arrogant. They destroyed the Chamber of Lead-Glass while chasing after the people of the Yan family.

If Yan Guilai hadn’t come back to save them, the members of the Chamber of Lead-Glass would have been wiped out long ago.

Lady Superior Bi Keyun’s face was cold. Although the Yan family had saved most of the disciples of the Chamber of Lead-Glass, she was not grateful at all.

She knew that the Yan family brought with them the disaster.

If the people of the Yan family had fled in a different direction, the Chamber of Lead-Glass would not have suffered such a disaster.

A group of people was chasing behind them in the distance.

Neither too close nor too far away, they could keep the people of the Yan family and the Chamber of Lead-Glass under their watchful eye.

The group was consisted of more than a dozen people and led by a sturdy middle-aged man with a strong aura.

The middle-aged man was at the later stage of the Earth Immortal Realm.

He alone was a terrifying existence.

The others of the group were all at the Immortal Level, and half of them were in the Earth Immortal Realm.

With such power, if it weren’t for Amethyst Mine, it would be easy for them to kill all the people of the Yan family.

The Yan family’s Elder Ancestor was only at the later stage of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Yan Guilai and Bi Keyun were in the Human-Immortal Realm.

The difference in strength between both sides was large.

Yan Guilai gripped the Amethyst Mine tightly.

It was their only guarantee.

“Why do they have Amethyst Mines?” The tall and sturdy middle-aged man said coldly.

Not knowing the reason, no one answered.

Amongst them, a young man at the initial stage of the Earth Immortal Realm looked at the sturdy man and said playfully, “Could it be that you’re afraid of the Amethyst Mine?”

Disdain flashed in the sturdy man’s eyes.

With his cultivation and the Phoenix-Winged Golden Armor, he had no fear of the Amethyst Mine at all.

“Kill some of them so that they will run faster. I’m tired of waiting,” the sturdy man was irritated.

“No problem, leave it to us,” some of them disappeared in a flash.

Suddenly, screams rang out from the crowd fleeing from the Yan family and the Chamber of Lead-Glass.

Several figures suddenly appeared in the crowd.

Their Internal Breath surged wildly around them.

The ordinary disciples couldn’t withstand the pressure of an expert in the Immortal Level at all.

Some of them turned into blood mist.

The people of the crowd were in chaos, panic-stricken and screaming.

Yan Guilai’s eyes were red, and he rushed over.

Elder Ancestor and Bi Keyun did not dare to follow him, afraid of the terrifying sturdy man behind them.

If he got closer to them, few of them would be able to survive.

The only one who could barely contend against the sturdy man was the Yan family’s Elder Ancestor. He even had to rely on the Amethyst Mine.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand a single blow of the sturdy man.

“I’ll kill you!” Yan Guilai roared, his aura surging. He punched fiercely at one of the young men.

The young man sneered. He raised his hand and activated his Internal Breath. Then he blasted several disciples of the Yan family. An energy chain shot out of his hand.

Boom!

The shock waves from the collision threw the disciples around into the air, making many of them dead or wounded.

Yan Guilai’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.

The Amethyst Mine in his hand released bright violet light.

Seeing it, the expressions of these people changed slightly. They suddenly stepped back and turned around to rush away.

They didn’t dare to contend against the Amethyst Mine and retreated.

Yan Guilai’s eyes were red. In seconds, more than a dozen disciples of the Yan family had died. There were also a dozen disciples of the Chamber of Lead-Glass dead.

“Mr. Yan, let’s fight these bastards to the death. I’m not afraid of death,” a presbyter of the Yan family roared.

They selected these disciples from various regions and nurtured them. They watched the disciples grow up.

But now, they watched the disciples killed.

“Mr. Yan, we are not afraid of death,” the disciples of the Yan family cried out in unison.

“Let’s fight them to the death!”

“All of you, shut up! Hurry up and keep running!” Yan Guilai roared angrily.

What could they fight the group with?

Any one of the group could kill all the elders and disciples of the Yan family.

The disciples of the Yan family were sad and angry. Knowing that Yan Guilai wanted to keep them safe, they could only run away in tears.

“Hurry up. We’ll be safe as long as we reach the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy,” Yan Guilai cheered them on.

Actually, he was not sure if it was right or wrong to escape to the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy. Considering the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy was the closest to Yanxue City, he wanted to have a try.

Perhaps they wouldn’t have the chance to arrive at the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy.

Even if they managed to arrive at the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy, they might not be able to survive.

Now, whether they could survive or not would depend on the will of heaven.

They had sent more than a dozen disciples to report to the Chu Mansion.

Perhaps the only person who could save them was Chu Xun.

It was a matter of expediency to flee to the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy.

Yan Guilai stepped back to bring up the rear.

“I feel something strange,” Bi Keyun frowned and said.

“What’s it?” Elder Ancestor asked.

“It seems they don’t want to kill us all and want to make us run fast,” Bi Keyun said.

“I have the same feeling with you,” Elder Ancestor mused.

“Guilai. What do you think of it?”

Yan Guilai frowned. In fact, he also had the same feeling.

“How about this? Let’s have a try,” Yan Guilai said.

“What’s your plan?” Bi Keyun asked.

Yan Guilai looked at her and said, “Please protect the disciples and leave. Elder Ancestor and I stay here. If they don’t dare to step forward, they may be afraid of the Amethyst Mine. If they fight us, as we guessed, they may have a conspiracy.”

Elder Ancestor nodded and looked at Lady Superior Bi Keyun, “Please take care of these disciples.”

Bi Keyun hesitated, unable to make a decision.

“Please go ahead,” Elder Ancestor boomed.

Bi Keyun was not a pretentious person. She looked at them and said, “Then... Let’s meet up at the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy.”

Elder Ancestor and Yan Guilai nodded.

The two stood still, no longer following their disciples.

Bi Keyun gave them a look and urged everyone to leave.

Seeing Elder Ancestor and Yan Guilai stop, the tall and sturdy man stared blankly for a moment. Then he sneered and said, “Do they see the problem? They are much smarter than I imagined.”

“Perhaps you overestimated them too much,” another person sneered.

“I think that with no hope of escaping, they plan to fight us with their lives.”

“Their spirit is commendable. It’s admirable for them to sacrifice themselves and protect their disciples.”

These people made fun of Yan Guilai and Elder Ancestor of the Yan family at will, praising and degrading them.

However, what Elder Ancestor and Yan Guilai did was not important to them.

They wanted to drive all the disciples of the Yan family and the Chamber of Lead-Glass to the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy.

Then the disciples would be used for blood sacrifice together with the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy to release the Subterranean Devils.
