The Immortal Emperor Returns Chapter 142 - A Life-or-death Decision!

Chapter 142 A Life-or-death Decision!

Chu Xun’s divine sense gushed forth like a raging tide. Now that he had reached the middle phase of Foundation, his divine sense could easily reach destinations that were thousands of miles away.
Chu Xun was always very particular, when it came to matters involving his parents.
After almost half a day, however, his eyes looked as cold as a frozen lake in winter. When one looked right into those eyes, it would send a chill to one’s bones.
Everyone was trembling in fear.
Several strands of Reincarnation Lines appeared and surrounded Chu Xun. Each strand was like a white snake, beautiful yet lethal.
Chu Xun looked at Liu Baifeng and asked, “Where are my parents?”
His voice was so calm that it made one freak out a little upon hearing it.
Liu Baifeng tried to avoid making eye contact. In his eyes, one could see hatred and fear.
With a flick of a finger, Chu Xun released several strands of Reincarnation Lines which contained great strength and intensity. They dashed forward with the speed of lightning, and hit the decorative rocks at the side of the garden.
Boom!
The rocks which were about the size of a round table, exploded immediately, leaving debris scattered all over the place.
Everyone was frightened when they saw that!
With another flick of his finger, Chu Xun released another group of Reincarnation Lines. This time, they no longer traveled in winding patterns. Instead, they headed directly for the members of the Liu Family, like a couple of white spears.
The members of the Liu Family immediately cried out in fear. Since the Reincarnation Lines could smash huge rocks into small pieces, they would surely become sieves upon being pierced by them!
They all looked at Liu Baifeng, hoping he could save them.
Liu Baifeng clenched his jaws. With an ominous look on his face, he said, “Do you wish to be charged with treason, Chu Xun?”
Chu Xun was initially a little stunned, then he reacted with a sneer and said, “Treason? That’s a big word. Since when was Huaxia Country completely under the control of the Liu Family?”
“Huaxia Country does not belong to the Liu Family, indeed, yet our prosperity today was largely the result of our ancestors’ contributions on the battlefield! They fought alongside the first Minister for the country, with all their might and spilled their blood for this country. The first Minister once said that as long as Huaxia Country exists, the Liu Family will always prosper. The plaque at our gate was even inscribed by the first Minister himself. You are the major general of Huaxia Country, yet you are threatening the descendants of our founding fathers today, by creating a bloodshed. Isn’t that treason?” Liu Baifeng responded passionately.
Chu Xun’s expression changed, He had to admit that Liu Baifeng was an amazing speaker. His reply was truly passionate and inspiring, and would surely invoke the anger within all the hot-blooded youths in the Liu Family.
“Get out of the Liu Family house, Chu Xun!” shouted a handsome young man. He looked to be in his twenties. Fear had disappeared from his eyes, as he stared at Chu Xun angrily.
“I agree! Get out! We are the descendants of our nation’s founding fathers, how dare you threaten us? I don’t believe you have the guts to kill me!” another young man shouted, as he stepped forward and looked Chu Xun straight in the eyes.
“Let’s turn him over to the military court! He’s just a major general. There are so many people in our family who are ranked way above him. If he dares to resist, we can mobilize an army against him. I don’t believe he will be able to defeat that!” shouted someone.
...
At this moment, everyone from the Liu Family was filled with heightened passion.
Chu Xun remained calm and collected. His mouth curved into a smile of disdain and mockery. Just as he was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was an unknown number, Chu Xun raised his eyebrows and answered, nonetheless.
“Senior... ” A timid, soft voice was heard.
Chu Xun immediately recalled the cute girl with a round face and big eyes, who always wore a pair of fake rabbit ears. It was Jade Rabbit.
“Why would Jade Rabbit be calling me?” Chu Xun thought curiously.
“Senior, do you still remember the phone number that you asked me to look into?” Jade Rabbit spoke timidly.
“Yes.” said Chu Xun.
“Senior, I found it. The owner of that number is called Liu Xiefei. He is the one whom Jin Lang has been contacting. After doing some investigating, I learned that this Liu Xiefei is from the Liu Family in the capital...”
Realizing that there was no response, Jade Rabbit asked tentatively, “Are you still there, senior?”
“I am. Can you pass all the information you have gathered to the top official now?” Chu Xun asked.
“Of course.”
“Great. I have to go now, let me treat you to a meal someday.” said Chu Xun with a smile. He then hung up. His eyes were filled with ferocity once again.
“My senior said he will treat me to a meal.” Jade Rabbit giggled, as she held her phone tightly.
Chu Xun’s eyes shifted to the group of clamoring young men of the Liu Family again.
“Puff!”
A strand of Reincarnation Line pierced through someone’s arm with a burst of energy. The blood spilled was evident to all.
“Ouch...”
A horrible shriek came from the handsome young man, who had first asked Chu Xun to get out of the Liu Family.
“Puff! Puff!”
A few more strands of Reincarnation Lines were released and pierced through his arm, thigh and shoulder, all the multiple areas which caused even more blood to spurt out.
Chu Xun had no intention of killing him, so the spots he chose to penetrate were not fatal points. They were enough to cause one to suffer from immense pain, however.
The young man’s handsome face was distorted by extreme pain. All the other young men took a few steps back in fear, after hearing his hysterical screams.
At a glimpse, Chu Xun saw that those young men, who were previously clamoring loudly, were now trembling in fear. They were merely fueled by passion. After seeing that young man rolling on the floor and screaming in pain, their passion disappeared like flickering flames being doused by cold water.
Chu Xun smiled in disdain and looked toward Liu Baifeng. As if mocking him, Chu Xun said, “I’ll count to three. If you don’t give me an answer by then, don’t blame me for killing all of them. All their lives are now dependent on you.”
After he finished speaking, Chu Xun raised one hand and waved it gently. Several strands of Reincarnation Lines immediately burst forth like numerous spears, pressing against the throats of more than fifty members of the Liu Family.
“One.”
The descendants of the Liu Family were so scared when they heard Chu Xun’s voice that they could feel their souls leaving their bodies. Some even wet their pants and the stinky smell of urine spread very quickly. Some could not stop crying, yet were too intimidated to cry out loud. It was because those white lines were as sharp as spears, and were pressing against their throats. Judging by the chill around those white lines, they did not doubt that these weapons could take their lives.
Liu Baifeng’s expression changed again. “Chu Xun! Do you really wish to commit treason?” Liu Baifeng shouted angrily.
“Two.”
One could sense the indifference in his eyes and the chill in his voice.
“Chu Xun...” Liu Baifeng said, then he was interrupted by someone from the Liu Family who said, “What are you doing, brother? Do you really plan to just watch us die?”
That man was Liu Baishan, the younger brother of Liu Baifeng.
“He would not dare to do so.” Liu Baifeng said firmly.
“He would not dare?” Liu Baishan said. Despite being the younger brother, he looked very anxious and his skin was swarthy. He opened his eyes wide and shouted, “Liu Baifeng, do you still have a conscience? How could you let us bear the consequences of your wrongdoing?”
The other family members stared at Liu Baifeng angrily, as well. Everyone had heard about Chu Xun’s cruelty, for every time he fought, he would paint the floor red with the blood of his enemies. It was apparent that Liu Baifeng planned to use them as sacrifices.
Not only did the Liu Family know about his cruelty, all their bodyguards knew about it, too. They never doubted that Chu Xun would kill them without any hesitation. One only needed to recall the incident of that grandmaster of Tiandao Sect to prove their doubts. His blood probably had not dried off yet.
“Uncle, are you just going to watch us die? Please, save me... I don’t want to die...”
“Brother, please tell General Chu of his parents’ whereabouts now!”
“Liu Baifeng, your son is just as disgusting as you! Are you really unaware about all the things he has done over the years?”
All of a sudden, everyone was mad at Liu Baifeng. They all shouted and cursed at him.
“Three.”
Chu Xun still remained calm, without a single trace of expression in his eyes; there was only his indifference. He slowly raised his hand. The moment he put his hand down would be the moment when their throats would be pierced by the Reincarnation Lines.
