Chapter 5 - Resolving the Murderous Aura!

Chapter 5 Resolving the Murderous Aura!

Chu Xun looked on with detachment. His voice was cold as he said, “If that’s the case, prepare to die.” Saving someone like Chen Hanlong would just add to his bad karma and hamper his cultivation.

Out of the blue, a gust of cold wind swept the sky and produced a whimpering sound that resembled the weeping of a woman.

Even though the sun was bright, the wind sent shivers down Chen Hanlong and made his hair stood on its end.

“Thud!”

Chen Hanlong knelt in front of Chu Xun, putting aside all his concerns.

“Sir, I have made a grave mistake. Please save me.”

Still looking aloof, Chu Xun turned around to leave.

“Thud!”

Bai Jing knelt next to Chen Hanlong.

“I once saved Sister Liu Ran’s life. Please consider that and save Chairman Chen.”

Chu Xun’s footsteps paused. He turned his head to look at her.

“Once, when we were shopping together, Sister Liu Ran was nearly run down by a driver who lost control of his car. I was the one who pushed her away,” Bai Jing explained, her voice panicked.

“Are you telling the truth?”

“I can swear it. If I lie in any way, then let me suffer a terrible death,” Bai Jing said, raising her hand to make a vow.

“Do you remember the car’s license plate?”

“I do. Gu A45609.”

Chu Xun knew he must repay this debt of gratitude.

“Get me some raw gems that haven’t been polished or carved.”

“Huh?” Bai Jing looked at him in bewilderment.

“If you want me to save him, hurry.”

“Of course… I’ll go now.” Bai Jing climbed to her feet and ran off to find the raw gems.

Everything was possible with money!

In less than thirty minutes, Bai Jing came back running with a bag in hand.

“Let me know if you can use these.”

Chu Xun took the bag from her hands and found twenty or so first-rate raw gems inside.

His True Energy was the most effective substance for resolving murderous aura, but he didn’t want to waste it on Chen Hanlong.

Chu Xun carried the bag of gems to the middle of the rooftop and began casting a seal with his free hand. He flicked the gems off one by one and before long, he was left with the final piece in his hand. He looked at Chen Hanlong. “Come over here!”

Chen Hanlong’s body stiffened, but he quickly walked over to Chu Xun. He stood next to him, trembling.

“No matter what you see later, don’t be afraid.”

Chen Hanlong’s heart went cold. Still, he forced himself to nod.

Chu Xun flicked off the last gem in his hand and crawled at the air like he was drawing open a heavy curtain. The air began rippling outward.

Chen Hanlong could see the scene before him changing to take on the darkness of the primal chaos. When he looked up and around, he couldn’t help crying out loud. “Oh my God!”

What he saw was a massive black saber more than thirty-meter long tottering above his head, looking like it was about to fall on him. Even though he had prepared himself for this, he was still so terrified that his soul threatened to leave him. He turned around, wanting to run.

Chu Xun kicked him on the legs, forcing him to kneel.

“Don’t scream if you don’t want to die,” Chu Xun rebuked him angrily.

Chen Hanlong was shivering, but he didn’t dare to move anymore. All he could do was silently plead for the massive saber not to fall.

Chu Xun reached out with his hand, drawing seven flickering orbs of light to him. They transformed into a seven-star whip in the air and fell into his hand.

Glancing at Chen Hanlong, who was crumpled up on the floor, Chu Xun smiled disdainfully.

Spirit-Amassing Seven Stars Formation.

To be fair, sparing this much effort to resolve murderous aura was completely unnecessary. The only reason he was doing this was to show Chen Hanlong the evil deeds that he had sown.

“Kaboom!”

The floor quaked. The massive saber fashioned out of murderous aura fell straight on Chen Hanlong’s head.

Chen Hanlong was so terrified that he forgot to yell. He crumpled on the floor, his eyeballs rolling to the back of his head.

Chu Xun waved his arm and coiled Chen Hanlong in his whip, and then pulled him away from the direct target of the saber.

“Rumble!”

The massive saber fell, blasting the floor wide open and sending boulders flying everywhere. The dust obscured the sky.

“How are you feeling?” Chu Xun sneered.

Chen Hanlong’s eyes were turning white and his face was crumpling in nervousness. If the same thing happened again, he might just die from fright.

Chu Xun’s whip once again trembled before coiling around the massive saber formed out of murderous aura and giving it a hard jerk. The saber of more than ten Chinese feet deviated from its direction, whipping around to face him.

He propelled himself off the floor, his body soaring into the air, and threw a punch so hard that loud explosion noises resounded.

“Break!”

His fist slammed onto the body of the saber and his True Energy burst forth from his hand. A cultivator’s True Energy was, in the first place, the bane of every filthy object in the world. Murderous aura was no match for it.

“Boom!”

The saber of more than ten Chinese feet exploded bit by bit until it dissolved into millions of light orbs.

Chu Xun immediately sat down cross-legged and reached out with his hand. The millions of light orbs formed a lengthy river and flew toward him.

“Spirit-Amassing Seven Stars Formation—Purify it!”

The formation began activating!

Countless green light orbs rose in all directions and began pouring into the myriad of light coming from the ruptured saber. The light orbs originated from the raw gems.

As if they were dye, the myriad of light slowly began to turn green.

That green light was none other than spiritual force.

The millions of green light orbs surrounded Chu Xun.

He smiled happily as he greedily absorbed the spiritual force around him.

The force entered his body and nourished his every cell.

His face sometimes brightened, sometimes darkened. His aura became fainter.

Chen Hanlong stared wide-eyed at him. He was about to lose all perception of Chu Xun’s existence.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but Chu Xun suddenly opened his eyes. Dazzling golden light erupted from his pupils.

“An Immortal!”

Chen Hanlong muttered.

Chu Xun stood up, his body producing crackling and rattling noises as he moved. His satisfaction was evident.

Even though he didn’t manage to cultivate enough to step into the intermediate Qi Refinement Stage, it was still good progress nonetheless. In particular, his Azure Dragon’s Tyrannical Physique Technique had gotten even stronger.

He waved his hand, dismantling the Spirit-amassing Seven Stars Formation. The raw gems that he put in order earlier all turned into dust.

“Chairman Chen, are you alright?”

Bai Jing didn’t see what had happened as she was outside the formation. All she could see was Chen Hanlong kneeling at one point of time, lying on the floor at another, before finally kowtowing to a resting Chu Xun.

Chen Hanlong shook his head and pulled Bai Jing toward Chu Xun. He made her kneel with him.

Perplexed, she wanted to question him. However, Chen Hanlong’s glare swiftly silenced her.

Chen Hanlong made three sincere kowtows to Chu Xun.

After what had happened, he was convinced that Chu Xun was a deity who has descended to the human world.

Bai Jing continued to question Chen Hanlong with her gaze.

Chen Hanlong continued to ignore her. How could he so casually reveal an Immortal’s secret? Wouldn’t he be divulging the will of heaven? That would just draw heaven’s wrath on him.

“It’s over. Your life is safe now. But there are still things that you must do.”

“Do tell, Immortal!” Chen Hanlong said deferentially.

Bai Jing couldn’t help being confused when she heard him call Chu Xun an Immortal.

“Just call me Sir. It’s more pleasing to the ears.”

“Yes.” Chen Hanlong immediately nodded.

“The massive black saber you saw earlier was the manifestation of Chen Wan’s rancorous energy, but it’s already dealt with. But you must bring her family home and settle them if you want to end your ill-fated relationship cleanly.”

“Yes! I’ll send my men immediately!” Even without Chu Xun’s order, he would have invited Chen Wan’s family back to Gujiang City as well. After all, he had nearly lost his life because of his selfishness.

Chu Xun nodded.

It wasn’t just luck for a minor hooligan like Chen Hanlong to survive and become one of the prominent figures of Gujiang City. He had quite the brains as well.

He was now sure that Chu Xun was an Immortal from heaven.

If he wasn’t smart enough to hold onto this powerful figure now, he might as well feed his IQ to the dogs.

Chen Hanlong begged Chu Xun to give him a chance to express his thanks.

Chu Xun wanted to bid farewell now that the matter was solved. After all, he only helped Chen Hanlong because Bai Jing once saved his mother. He was just returning a favor.

However, finding his parents was like looking for a needle in a haystack. His divine consciousness could only be extended to a range of ten or so meters. If he still had his Immortal Emperor’s cultivation, he would be able to find them with just his divine consciousness.

Now, he had no choice but to borrow help from secular forces.

Chu Xun considered Chen Hanlong’s request at length before nodding.

…

…

When Chu Xun finally left, he left with Chen Hanlong’s thank-you gift.

“Chairman Chen, don’t you think that your gift is too valuable?”

Bai Jing didn’t understand why Chen Hanlong would gift Chu Xun an entire villa as well as twenty million yuan. As far as she knew, even those famous Feng Shui masters from Hong Kong would only request payment of about several million yuan.

The villa that Chen Hanlong gave Chu Xun was located on Mount Qianlong, a part of a neighborhood popular among the rich and powerful of Gujiang City that their company developed. Chu Xun’s new home had a market value of thirty million yuan. In other words, Chen Hanlong had gifted him fifty million yuan in total.

Chen Hanlong merely smiled. How could those Feng Shui masters from Hong Kong compare to Chu Xun? His legs would still tremble whenever he thought of what happened within the formation. That was a complete miracle.

The compensation of fifty million yuan wasn’t anywhere close to being enough, he thought.

…

Chu Xun drove to Mount Qianlong at high-speed. It was true that he needed a place to stay.

If anyone were to receive a villa and twenty million yuan out of the blue, he or she would probably faint from excitement.

However, Chu Xun paid it no mind.

These gifts bought Chen Hanlong a connection with an Immortal Emperor.

Chu Xun was confident he would repay him several times over.

That was why he felt no guilt whatsoever about receiving these gifts.
