The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 112 - Paying the Debt!

Chapter 112 Paying the Debt!

Chu Xun looked at the amiable old man with a meaningful expression.

The amiable old man did not get blushed or nervous. He waved his hand in a heroic manner and said, “Don’t look at me. I don’t have money. All my possessions belong to our country.”

Chu Xun was amazed and mocked in secret. “He is indeed a politician. He is so cheeky that he didn’t have the money yet talked so righteously.”

“You look upon money as dirt and don’t have money, yet you want the Pulse Thunder Gun?” Chu Xun looked at the two of them and continued, “No problem!”

Before the two old men could feel delighted, Chu Xun added, “You can write me a loan agreement then.”

Uh?

The two old men were stunned.

“Both the two of you are poor yet unwilling to write me a loan agreement. Are you planning to get the gun without paying anything? Don’t you know that gentlemen shouldn’t accept anything handed out in contempt?” Chu Xun said and thought with disdain, “Though the two of you are not gentlemen at all.”

The amiable old man and the elder looked at each other, and the former gnashed his teeth before saying, “Fine, I’ll write you a loan agreement then.”

“It’s just a loan agreement. He won’t sue me for the debt, will he? Besides, even if he does, can he win me?” the amiable old man thought to himself.

Azure Dragon fetched them two pieces of paper and two pens, and the two old men began to write the loan agreement.

Both of them felt very aggrieved.

The amiable old man stood at the top of the secular world with military power.

The elder, with profound cultivation, stood at the top of the world of Martial Tao.

However, these two bigwigs now were forced to write a loan agreement by Chu Xun, so how could they feel comfortable at the moment?

“Chief, what are you doing is improper,” Chu Xun said with mocking eyes.

The amiable old man’s face blushed slightly and he immediately changed the word “IOU” into “Loan Agreement” and complained inwardly, “This kid is really cunning and knows a lot.”

For an iou, the prescribed period for litigation was two years, while for a loan agreement, the prescribed period for litigation was 20 years. The amiable old man had wanted to play a trick but was seen through by Chu Xun.

“I’m done!” the elder said with anger and threw the paper at Chu Xun. The thin paper shot toward Chu Xun like a sharp blade.

Chu Xun stretched out his hand and caught the paper between his fingers. He glanced at the paper several times and found the date and the elder’s fingerprint all on it. When he saw the elder’s signatures, he curled his lips with disdain.

Long Ao was the elder’s signature, seeing which, Chu Xun mocked in secret. “Long Ao, what a vulgar name.”

“Kid, why do you look at my signature like that?” the elder felt displeased for he was forced to owe Chu Xun 5 billion yuan.

Chu Xun laughed and said, “Don’t misunderstand me. I just feel that your name is extremely domineering. It gives others a feeling of a tortoise and would make those rascals shiver upon hearing it...”

“Shut up!” Long Ao frowned. He did not feel anything wrong with his name. However, he felt very uncomfortable when he heard Chu Xun describe his name like that.

“My little friend Chu Xun, here you are.”

Chu Xun received the paper from the amiable old man and read it very carefully. Compared with others, politicians were always more cunning. Moreover, the Huaxia characters were both extensive and profound, and sometimes, the change of one word could cause the meaning of the whole sentence to change.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the agreements, Chu Xun put them into his Storage Space. Then, he took out the Pulse Thunder Gun and handed it to the elder and the amiable old man.

The amiable old man hurriedly accepted the gun and observed it over and over again with his face full of joy.

“Can you tell which country developed it?” Long Ao’s face looked serious because the power of the Pulse Thunder Gun was too terrifying. If it was used by a man in the Acquired Realm, it could injure even a Grandmaster of the First Grade.

The amiable old man shook his head, and his eyes became fiercer as he said in a deep voice, “This gun must be handed over to a weapon expert to explore, but don’t be too optimistic. It’s not easy to find out the country that supported the Golden Wolf Mercenary by exploring the gun. However, this sample will help us improve our weapons greatly.”

Chu Xun was not interested in what the two old men were talking about and felt it boring. This time, he came for the cultivator behind Long Ao. However, Long Ao was too stubborn to be convinced and even frustrated him many times by saying that he was not powerful enough.

“When can I meet him?” Chu Xun did not know why he wanted to see that cultivator so much, maybe because that was what his heart desired.

“I don’t know!” Long Ao answered straightforwardly.

Chu Xun was so angry that he wanted to gnash his teeth.

“My little friend, please don’t get angry. It’s not that I’m trying to make things difficult for you intentionally; it’s just that it’s not the right time.” Long Ao’s face looked serious and his voice was sincere.

Chu Xun raised his eyebrows and did not say anything. He knew that something could not be forced and he must be patient about it.

“Since that’s the case, take care of yourselves. Remember to raise money quickly...” When speaking of raising money, Chu Xun paused for a moment and his eyes lit up. He looked at Long Ao suddenly and said, “In fact, if you don’t have money, you can give me something else as a pawn.”

The amiable old man and Long Ao became on the alert at once. They had known much about Chu Xun’s character through this meeting.

“What do you want?” Long Ao asked in a wary tone.

Chu Xun squinted at him and said, “Whatever. Spiritual elixirs, spiritual herbs, and spiritual fruits all will do.”

Chu Xun could feel indistinctly that Long Ao had many treasures hidden in this yard.

Long Ao was stunned at first and then his mouth twitched. “This kid actually dared to make such a request. Both spiritual elixirs and spiritual herbs are very precious in this ear as there is only a small amount of spiritual energy in the world now.”

“If you do have some, give them to me quickly, or pay me with money.” Chu Xun urged him. Since he was the creditor of these two men now, he was emboldened a lot.

“I don’t have even a weed, let alone spiritual elixirs and spiritual herbs,” the elder said in a displeased tone.

“It’s right and proper that he who owes money pays the debt, and if he doesn’t have money, he should pledge something else. Do the two of you want to repudiate your debt?” Chu Xun narrowed his eyes and continued, “As an old saying goes, when a man is poor, his ambition is not far-reaching. Yet, it’s really rare to see someone as poor and knavish as the two of you. However, it doesn’t matter. I can give up the money, but I can’t accept that I won’t get anything from the deal. So I decided...”

Chu Xun spoke with a drawl, which made the two old men feel nervous. He then continued, “I decided... to expose these two loan agreements to the media or upload them to the Internet.”

“I don’t care! I’m not to be threatened.” Long Ao raised his head with a strong sense of righteousness, looking as if he would rather die than compromise.

Chu Xun was astonished. “What kind of people are they? They owed me money, yet they behaved as if it were righteous.” Chu Xun was speechless.

The amiable old man raised his chest and joined Long Ao’s side, sharing a bitter hatred of their enemy, Chu Xun, looking fearless as if he would rather die than surrender.

Chu Xun felt very enraged by these two old rascals.

He could not defeat Long Ao.

He dared not to beat the amiable old man either.

He had an impulse to call them names.

Long Ao behaved so calmly, but in Chu Xun’s opinion, he was like a dead mouse who felt no cold.

The amiable old man looked serious yet laughed inwardly. “Which media dares to report the news? As for uploading them to the Internet, the State Internet Supervision Bureau won’t allow it to happen, and those who dare to spread it will get investigated the next day.”

Chu Xun thought for a while and immediately understood what the two of them relied on.

“Do you really want to repudiate the debt?” Chu Xun’s eyes looked dangerous.

“What do you want to do?” Long Ao was vigilant. He knew that Chu Xun was not a man easy to handle.

“Nothing!” Chu Xun shook his head and said, “I’m thinking about exchanging my martial arts with you in a fight after your yard is repaired.”

Long Ao’s eyes popped out and realized that it was an undisguised threat.

“Kid, if you dare to destroy my yard again, I’ll come after you wherever you go.”

Chu Xun did not take the words seriously, and thought since the elder started to act so shamelessly, why couldn’t he use some tricks as well?

“Elder Long, seriously, do you have spiritual herbs and spiritual elixirs or not? I’m badly in need of them,” said Chu Xun.

Chu Xun was telling the truth. He wanted to start refining a kind of pill as soon as possible, and the pill was named “Level-improving Pill”.

By taking the pill, ordinary people could get their essence and medullae purified, obtain some True Energy, and thus enter the first stage of the Qi Refinement Realm, while warriors could improve their cultivation by one level higher.

Chu Xun intended to let those who had a close relationship with him begin to cultivate. After all, the enchantment was only an external object, and only by cultivating could one be able to protect himself and fight against his fate.

Chu Xun did not want to be alone without any close friend a hundred years later.

“No!” Long Ao replied straightforwardly.

Chu Xun was very angry because Long Ao told a lie with a straight face.

“Are you sure?” Chu Xun asked, and his divine sense swept away at the same time.

It was not easy to find all the herbs needed to make Level-improving Pills on earth, where spiritual energy was dying out.

Chu Xun did not question Long Ao without any reason. He felt that there was what he needed in this yard and guessed that someone had taught Long Ao how to hide the auras of those spiritual herbs and spiritual elixirs. That was why he could locate them specifically for the time being.

“Kid, are you out of your mind? If I do have those herbs and elixirs, why would I leave them to you and not eat them myself?” Long Ao asked back.

“Remember it’s you who pushed me to this point,” Chu Xun said calmly.

As he turned over his palm, several pieces of good ancient jade appeared in his hand. Among the jade objects that he got from Qitian Jewelry Corporation, those were all he had now, and the others had been made into enchantments.

Swoosh...!

With several whooshing sounds, those jade objects were thrown out and fell on different spots, surrounding Long Ao with him at the center.

The next moment, Chu Xun waved his fingers and set up a formation quickly.

Long Ao’s expression suddenly changed. He, of course, knew that Chu Xun was trying to trap him with a formation.

“Kid, how dare you!” Long Ao roared in anger for Chu Xun showed no respect to him and provoked him so many times.

Swish!

Long Ao stamped the ground violently, and where he stamped exploded while he rushed away quickly.

“It’s too late!” Chu Xun laughed.

“Sky-covering Formation, start!”

Boom!

The air was distorted by an invisible force, and there were exploding sounds.

A huge seven-color formation, which looked like a water curtain and the inverted Milky Way, appeared and enveloped Long Ao.

Buzz!

The wall of the formation gave off light like spreading ripples.

Long Ao flew back in the mid-air, his face blushed with anger. He had been too careless that he failed to flee out of Chu Xun’s quickly-set formation.

Bang!

Long Ao punched forward, and his Internal Breath came out of his body and formed a fist print that hit the formation wall.

Long Ao was so powerful that the whole formation began to shake violently.

“Kid, wanna trap me with his small formation? You’re dreaming!” Long Ao said proudly while punching forward again, which caused the formation wall to flicker as if it would crack at any time.

Chu Xun smiled faintly with sarcasm in his eyes as he stared at Long Ao. “If you could break my formation so easily, then it would not live up to its name as a superior second-level formation.”

Chu Xun pointed forward with his finger!

Buzz!

The entire formation was activated and buzzed as if it had been brought to life.

Long Ao looked grave. It was a bright day just now, but now, it was as dark as ink that one could not see his hand in front of him.

Long Ao tried to take a step forward, but with a bang, he felt as if he had bumped into an iron wall, so he could not help but fall backward continuously. His forehead turned red and swollen for he just bumped there.

Long Ao frowned and stopped moving. Instead, he flicked his fingers and released his Internal Breath through his fingertips.

He suddenly took a step sideways when he heard some jangling sounds. The next second, a beam of white light passed across his ear and almost scratched him.

Long Ao was shocked. The beam of light, in fact, was the Internal Breath he just released. He had not expected it to come back at him after making a circuit.

Besides, he forgot that he was surrounded by barriers. As a result, he got himself bumped again when he walked sideways just now. He heard a loud bang, and it seemed that he crashed that wall down. Long Ao was furious because it was his head that got bumped. He saw stars and there were buzzing sounds in his ears.

Long Ao flew into a shameful rage, and his body began to emit shining white light as he protected himself with Internal Breath.

He stretched out his hand and felt around like a blind man who tried to felt an elephant. However, he felt nothing around, yet once he took a step, he would bump onto a wall. Fortunately, he did not get injured under the protection of his Internal Breath.

Long Ao was very enraged and punched forward with both hands. His overwhelming Internal Breath swept over, and wherever it passed, there would be sounds of explosion and collapse. He then tried to take a step forward again, and sure enough, he did not meet any barrier this time.

“How childish you’re, trying to trap me with this small trick!” Long Ao said proudly while walking with long steps and punching with both hands.

“Azure Dragon, what is Elder Long doing?” the amiable old man swallowed his throat hard, felt a chill down his spine, and murmured.

Azure Dragon was dumbfounded and did not know how to reply.

In their eyes, Long Ao looked like a mad man for he sometimes looked angry, sometimes laughed, and sometimes waved his hands and stamped his feet in joy.

However, they knew well that Long Ao could not be a mad man and that it was all because of Chu Xun’s trick.

When they looked at Chu Xun, they could not help but feel surprised because Chu Xun was recording a video with his cell phone and wore an evil smile on his face. Seeing that, Azure Dragon and the amiable old man got a chill on their backs, and their hair stood on end.
