The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 475 Greed

“Get down to the point!”

Chu Xun interrupted Eagle who was babbling and flattering. He was too talkative. If Chu Xun hadn’t stopped him, he would keep talking about it until tomorrow.

Eagle was startled, and then he slapped his forehead, saying, “Guess what we’ve found?”

“Say it!” Chu Xun said.

Eagle shrank his neck, saying, “It turns out there is a jade pond in Yuchi Slope, and there is a treasure in the pond. It was shining, but I couldn’t see clearly what it was.”

“Then, what are you waiting for? Move it back quickly,” Spotted Tiger said excitedly.

“Move? How to move? It’s a big pond like a lake. And It’s so foggy there that you can’t see anything. Some people entered it, but they never came out.” Eagle despised the tiger. If the treasure could be moved, he would have already brought it back.

“Let’s go and take a look!” Chu Xun stood up and spoke.

Eagle took everyone into the air and flew south. It took half an hour for Eagle to fly there.

Yuchi Slope was located in the mountains, and the fog could be seen from a distance. There were faint flashes in the mist. As Eagle had said, they couldn’t see what was in it clearly.

The hillside was crowded. The news that there was a treasure in Yuchi Slope had been spread for half a month. It was not a secret.

Chu Xun ordered Eagle to hover over the jade pond. He wanted to investigate it with divine sense but was surprised to find that people were walking over the Yuchi Slope.

“Mansion Lord, this place is very strange. It is a bit like Mount Lu. There is a layer of invisible power above this jade pond like glass that people can walk on,” Eagle said.

Chu Xun suddenly understood that this layer of power was a barrier. He motioned for Eagle to land.

“There are a lot of masters.” Jiu You looked around and found a lot of experts from the main forces.

Chu Xun had already sensed that there were several experts in the Human-Immortal Realm hidden in the crowd.

“Mansion Lord, this place is like a big glass bottle with white mist inside, and we can’t see anything,” Eagle said.

Chu Xun nodded slightly, saying, “It is true, but the bottle had no cap. It looks like someone is inviting us to enter.”

“No one dares to go in now. The people who went in before didn’t come out yet. They all died inside.” Eagle was a little frightened.

“How did you know that they died inside?” Chu Xun looked at Eagle curiously.

“I saw one person go in, but his body was thrown out later. There were only bones left without any flesh,” Eagle whispered.

Bai Xiang and the others changed their expressions slightly and looked at the pond in the distance in shock. They couldn’t see anything but a canyon between two towering mountains. The fog in the valley was dense. The entrance was just over there, but everyone was hiding far away, not daring to approach it.

“Be careful, everyone.” Chu Xun reminded them not to approach the entrance for the time being. He turned on Evocation of Heavenly Secrets and felt a little uneasy.

“Look, what’s that?” Someone exclaimed.

Everyone looked over and was then taken aback. They saw a vertical eye appearing at the entrance, blocking the entire canyon, and the eye was blinking, looking at them.

“What kind of monster is this?” Eagle shrank his neck. “Its eye is so big. How giant its body will be?”

Everyone was shocked, according to the size of the eye, the body was estimated to be outrageous.

Splash!

Suddenly, a stream of green water spouted from the entrance of the valley, and the stream was enveloped in green clouds, emitting the rich refreshing spiritual energy.

The people around were taken aback and hurriedly retreated.

When the green water fell to the ground, the grass and trees splashed with the water emitted a green glow and became full of vitality, and even the dead trees were regenerating.

“This is Spirit Flux!” Someone exclaimed.

Everyone’s eyes became red, and they rushed forward to fight for it, but it was a pity that all the Spirit Flux had been absorbed by the vegetation. These people went so crazy that they even pulled out the vegetation that was spattered with Spirit Flux and then ate it.

“The water is Spirit Flux. Then, what kind of treasure is in there?” Eagle murmured.

Everyone looked at the canyon eagerly, wondering what treasure there was?

Chu Xun frowned. Suddenly, a very uneasy emotion was emerging in his heart.

Right at this moment, there was a melodious piece of music coming from the entrance, which made people feel light and relaxed as if walking in the cloud.

Everyone was immersed in the beautiful music.

However, the warriors who had fought for Spirit Flux before became dull and began to stagger towards the entrance.

“Are they courting for death?” Eagle stared at them with widened eyes.

“Are you guys alright?” Chu Xun asked.

Bai Xiang and the others nodded their heads. They had heard the beautiful music, but they felt nothing wrong with their bodies.

Everyone widened their eyes and stared at those people. There were more than a dozen of them, and they had already arrived at the entrance.

The first person took a step and walked directly in; his figure was soon wrapped by a white mist. Then the second...the third...and the last one was swallowed.

Crack...

Suddenly, the sound of chewing was heard. It sounded as if someone was eating something.

Eagle’s eyes were full of fear, saying, “When that person went in before, there was also such a sound.”

Chu Xun was surprised and glanced around, and he saw that most people looked horrified.

There was a dead silence. Everyone was chilling and seemed to be waiting for something.

Splash!

Suddenly, a ray of white light flew out of the entrance, fell to the ground, and then bounced.

It was a skeleton with no flesh. Of course, it was impossible to tell whether it was one of the dozen people who had gone in.

Splash!

Afterward, server rays of light flew out and fell to the ground in a parabola. They were all complete skeletons.

Someone counted them and there were seventeen skeletons exactly, which was the same as the number of the people who had entered.

The bones were bleached. Thinking of the sound of chewing before, everyone was horrified and retreated far away from the entrance.

In the valley, there must some great horror.

“Look, what’s in their mouths?” Someone with sharp eyes saw the red glow in the skulls of those skeletons.

A man boldly stepped forward, pried open the mouth of one skeleton, and took out something.

It was a red fruit, a bit like an apricot. It had a fragrant smell and was shimmering with red light, looking mouth-watering.

“That’s an alien fruit!” Someone beside him exclaimed.

Wow!

Everyone couldn’t help but rush forward with red eyes to scramble for the alien fruits frantically.

“Go away, that alien fruit belongs to me.” A Grade Eight expert in Human King Realm decapitated a low-level warrior with a knife, and blood was spurting. He grabbed the alien fruit and laughed wildly.

“Fight with me if you want it.”

Several battles broke out in an instant. Blood was spattered everywhere, and screams could be heard all the time. People kept falling and dying, just for the alien fruits.

Jiu You and the others were gearing up to join the confused fighting.

“Don’t move.” Chu Xun scolded.

Alien fruit was indeed powerful with the effect more significant than some elixirs. However, Emperor Ao had found although it could improve the cultivation base to a large extent, it was burning Life Energy and would overdraw life.

Emperor Ao hadn’t worked out a countermeasure yet. Jiu You had taken an alien fruit before and burned some Life Energy. Her problem had not been solved yet. Chu Xun would never allow anyone of Chu Mansion to take alien fruits privately.

Everything was circulating in the world. There were mutual promotion and restraint between the five elements. No pains, no gains. Taking alien fruits could make a rapid increase in cultivation base, but it was a shortcut, and you would have to pay a corresponding price.

What worried Chu Xun the most was that he didn’t know how much Life Energy would be burned and how long Jiu You’s life would be reduced.

So, he had to find a solution as soon as possible.

Jiu You and the others were puzzled. The power of alien fruit was well known in the world, and there would be unexpected gains after taking it. Why didn’t Chu Xun allow them to snatch it?

But Chu Xun’s order could not be disobeyed. They could only watch other people fight aside.

“Stop!”

A big shot appeared on the stage. He was an expert in the Human-Immortal Realm, whose tyrannical coercion oppressing the souls of people, making people worship and unable to resist him.

This was a middle-aged handsome man was dressed in a brocade robe, and his actual age must be scary.

“Put down the alien fruits in your hands, and get out of my way,” the man said. His voice was calm but imposing.

Under the coercion of an expert in the Human-Immortal Realm, those people could hardly stand steadily. How dared they resist?

Although everyone was unwilling, they obediently placed the alien fruits on the ground and carefully retreated, not daring to breathe heavily.

This person waved his big hand, put away a dozen alien fruits, and hummed coldly. Everyone was scared and bowed their heads, not daring to look at him directly.

“What the hell? He is too arrogant!” Jiu You couldn’t help whispering. She was not allowed to scramble for the alien fruits, so she felt unhappy. Seeing this person so arrogant, she got more upset.

Experts in Human-Immortal Realm were quite keen of hearing, and Jiu You’s words made this person’s eyes gloomy, so he looked over, and terrible pressure gushed out like a tide.

But when he saw Chu Xun next to Jiu You, his eyes shrank slightly, and his expression changed. He hurried to withdraw the pressure and turned away.

Jiu You wielded her small fists at his back, shouting, “Who do you think you are?”

With Chu Xun by her side, she would not be afraid even if the sky fell, not to mention that guy was just in the Human-Immortal Realm.

Chu Xun couldn’t help smiling.

After this expert in Human-Immortal Realm left, the warriors present rushed forward again. They began to scramble for the bones, smashed or crushed them, wanting to see if there was anything good inside.

This was human nature, selfish and greedy. For their own selfish desires, they didn’t mind if others were frustrated or destroyed.

At this time, a figure ran over, and it was Tibetan Mastiff King.

“Mansion Lord.” Tibetan Mastiff King bowed.

“Get up,” Chu Xun said.

“Old Dog, where did you go? We almost went into the valley to find you,” Eagle complained.

Tibetan Mastiff King glared at him, saying, “If you dare to stand in the entrance now, I will believe you.”

Eagle smirked and thought to himself, “I’m just kidding. Why is he so serious? He doesn’t know how to chat.”

“We did try to find you. Where did you go?” Golden Lion asked.

They had looked for Tibetan Mastiff King before but hadn’t found him, so they had been worried about him.

“Mansion Lord, do you know what this is?” Tibetan Mastiff King took out a jade bottle and handed it to Chu Xun.

Chu Xun opened the jade bottle, and a golden glow and fragrance of flowers were emitted. Inside the bottle was some powder with a strong medicinal fragrance.

“This is pollen?” Chu Xun asked while looking at Tibetan Mastiff King.

“Yes,” Tibetan Mastiff King nodded, “there was a branch stretching out of the entrance before, and a golden flower grew on it. It was close to me, so I picked it off.”

“Anything wrong?” Chu Xun asked when he saw Tibetan Mastiff King’s angry expression.

Tibetan Mastiff King nodded and said, “A master in the Human-Immortal Realm wanted to rob it. Fortunately, Senior Gao Mohan of Faith of Divine Radiance stepped up to protect me.”

Chu Xun was surprised. It was a small world!

Jiu You yelled and wanted to see the pollen in the jade bottle, and Chu Xun handed it to her. No one had expected after Jiu You took and sniffed at it, she suddenly poured the pollen into her mouth and swallowed it.

Chu Xun was shocked and had no time to stop her.
