The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 521 - Die Because of Him!

Chapter 521 Die Because of Him!

As the saying goes, “When you help others, help them to do the whole thing well.”

Now that Chu Xun had rescued these people, he had to help them find a place to live for the time being.

He knew that it was just a drop in the bucket. All the natives in the Subterranean Devils Realm were raising human beings as pigs, and countless human beings were suffering. He wanted to save as many people as he could.

Led by the young man named Eleven, Chu Xun found the residence of the so-called Great Elder Master Jimmy.

It was a magnificent castle constructed entirely from huge stones.

Eleven and the others were obviously afraid of this place because they were trembling nonstop.

Chu Xun could feel the anger welling up inside him. He couldn’t figure out why there were so many human beings here after the human race had defeated and sealed the Subterranean Devils Clan.

Four unusually tall and strong men of the Subterranean Devils Clan were standing guard at the stone gate of the castle.

“Who are you? Do you know where you are? How can you bring these dirty pigs here? Are you courting death?” One of the guards shouted angrily.

“Although you can speak human language, you are not a human being after all,” Chu Xun said indifferently.

Hum!

Several Reincarnation Lines shot out, blood spurted out, and heads fell to the ground. Those Subterranean Devils, who had just reached the Grandmaster Realm, were too weak for Chu Xun.

Boom!

The stone gate burst open, and Chu Xun walked through it with Eleven and the others.

“Enemy attack!”

A guard shouted desperately.

Chu Xun did not stop him. He would call all the enemies over, and that would save Chu Xun a lot of trouble.

Those guards were tall and strong. They looked intimidating, but there was not even a single Great King among them.

Countless Reincarnation Lines dashed wildly through the air and easily took the lives of all the devils away one by one.

They were just devils speaking human language, so Chu Xun killed them without any mercy or worry.

Blood dyed the ground red, heads fell to the ground, and the air was filled with the strong smell of blood.

Eleven and the others trembled with fear. In their eyes, those warriors of the Subterranean Devils Clan were gods who were used to slaughtering humans. This was the first time they saw a human being kill the warriors of the Subterranean Devils Clan as easily as reaping wheat.

This city was located at the periphery of the Subterranean Devils Realm. There were no masters in this city.

Over a hundred Subterranean Devil Warriors were exterminated in an instant.

Chu Xun didn’t see Great Elder Master Jimmy. After interrogating a Subterranean Devil Warrior, he learned that Jimmy went to attend a banquet held by the lord of the city.

He scanned the castle with his divine sense and found Jimmy’s pigsty.

It was an enclosed courtyard with numerous rows of shabby stone huts. Over a dozen children were crawling on the ground. The oldest one was only three to four years old.

Eleven told Chu Xun that these children would be taken away for special training when they reached the age of five.

In the shabby stone huts, there were some women wearing dirty clothes. Some of them were pregnant.

These women had one thing in common. They were all apathetic, with their hands cuffed and legs shackled. In the eyes of the Subterranean Devils Clan, they were just sows, and their only function was to give birth to children.

Chu Xun could hardly contain his anger.

He asked Eleven to help them settle down and then left.

He flew into a rage as he broke into the mansion of the lord of the city. He saw Great Elder Master Jimmy, a short and fat man. He produced a Violet Underworld Flame, which burnt Jimmy to ashes.

The City Lord was a low-level Demon King. Chu Xun smashed him into blood mist.

He wiped out all the Subterranean Devils in the mansion.

In the next few days, he was a little crazy. He sealed the four gates of the city with magic formations and slaughtered all the Subterranean Devils in the city.

Only human beings survived in the city.

Chu Xun knew that it was useless, but he still did it. At the very least, he felt much better.

He left the city because he didn’t want to face those human beings whose eyes were lifeless and whose bodies were like walking corpses.

Quite a few of them were still conscious. Perhaps they would awaken those soulless shells and bring them back to life after some time.

Chu Xun had never underestimated ordinary people. They had unlimited creativity and could always work miracles.

He hoped that someday the human beings in this city would work a miracle and become as vigorous as the people in the cities of the outside world.

Today, Chu Xun came to another city.

He walked into a noisy tavern where he saw human beings again. They were all beautiful young girls without soul or dignity. They tried their best to cater to the so-called Subterranean Devil Warriors around them just for the sake of food.

Eleven told him that the human beings in the Subterranean Devils Realm normally had a very short lifespan of only forty to fifty years.

Those young girls were the lucky ones that Eleven had mentioned. They had caught the fancy of those Subterranean Devil Warriors. At least they wouldn’t be treated as food, and they could live for a few years without worrying about food.

As Chu Xun showed up, the whole tavern fell silent, because he did not hide his human aura.

In the Subterranean Devils Realm, it was well known that humans were just pigs and slaves with their hands cuffed and legs shackled, and they could enter places like taverns only when their masters took them there.

“A cup of water,” Chu Xun said lightly.

His words brought a deathly silence to the entire tavern.

In the Subterranean Devils Realm, food and water were scarce resources. Only very powerful warriors could afford to drink water. Even that Great Elder Master Jimmy killed by Chu Xun was not qualified to drink water.

Anyone who wanted to drink water must have a sufficiently high status and enough Fire Spinel.

The ordinary members of the Subterranean Devils Clan could only extract a kind of bitter sap to quench their thirst, and not everyone could enjoy this sap. At least, a human being like Chu Xun was not qualified to drink it.

“Hey, whose slave are you? Why aren’t you wearing shackles?” Shouted a man of the Subterranean Devils Clan, who was more than two meters tall.

Chu Xun knocked on the bar counter, looked at the owner, and said, “A glass of water.”

With that, he took out a stalk of low-grade spiritual herb and threw it on the counter.

The tavern owner stared at Chu Xun and said, “You can’t buy a cup of water with one stalk of spiritual herb.”

Without saying anything else, Chu Xun threw another four stalks of low-grade spiritual herb to him and said indifferently, “Is it enough now?”

The owner nodded in a somewhat polite manner and said, “It’s enough, but a small tavern like mine does not have any water.

“I suggest that you have a glass of fresh blood of young human girls. It’s delicious and cheap. You can buy ten glasses with only one stalk of spiritual herb. Isn’t that a good deal?” the owner said vehemently.

The owner thought that Chu Xun was perhaps a slave of some big shot, so he could take out so many stalks of spiritual herb at one time.

Chu Xun frowned slightly. Eleven had told him that some young girls would be bought and used as food. However, he didn’t expect that he would see that so soon.

“What do you usually drink?” Chu Xun asked. In fact, he did not need water, and he just wanted to know more about the Subterranean Devils Clan.

The owner raised the glass of green liquid in his hand. “Karra sap.”

“Then give me a glass of that sap,” said Chu Xun.

“My distinguished guest, if you take such a cheap drink back, your master will definitely not like it. I advise you to buy some fresh blood of young girls. This way, your master might not punish you.” The owner kindly advised Chu Xun to buy what he thought was the most delicious.

“A cup of sap,” Chu Xun said again.

After the owner confirmed that Chu Xun would not buy the fresh blood that he peddled, the look on his face became very sullen. “You stupid slave, you will be punished by your master when you get back.”

“Hey, you slave, I’m asking you. Are you deaf? Whose slave are you? Why aren’t you wearing shackles?” That Subterranean Devil Warrior with a fierce aura yelled at Chu Xun. Then he stood up and walked toward Chu Xun.

Chu Xun turned around and looked at him. Then he reached out his hand gently and clenched it.

Bang!

The Subterranean Devil Warrior blew up and turned into blood mist before he could walk to Chu Xun’s side.

“No one in this world dares to call himself my master,” Chu Xun said in a low voice.

The entire tavern fell silent, and then the shrill screams of human girls rang out.

All the Subterranean Devil Warriors in the tavern stood up and looked at Chu Xun in disbelief. “How could that be possible? How could a human being practice martial arts?”

In the Subterranean Devils Realm, humans were prohibited from practicing martial arts, which was a rule made by the Five Demon Lords. No one dared to violate this rule.

“Who is your master? How could he allow you to practice? Both you and your master are going to die this time,” a Subterranean Devil Warrior shouted angrily.

Bang!

He blew up before his voice faded away.

Chu Xun shook his head. “Just like the alien races, you never remember the lessons that you have learnt.”

The Subterranean Devil Warriors in the tavern were scared out of their wits. They wondered if Chu Xun was really a slave. After all, they had never heard of such a powerful slave, but he killed two Subterranean Devil Warriors in a row without batting an eyelid.

“You...” The tavern owner’s legs trembled. Chu Xun had killed two Subterranean Devil Warriors in a row, but the owner didn’t even know how Chu Xun did it.

“A cup of sap,” Chu Xun said softly.

The owner, who was about 2.5 meters tall, suddenly shuddered. He hurriedly prepared a cup of sap for Chu Xun. He knocked over several wine jugs as he walked to Chu Xun.

“Your... Your Highness, here’s your sap...” His hands were shaking violently. Quite a bit of sap spilled out.

Chu Xun took the cup of sap from the owner’s hands. He savored the sap and frowned slightly. The juice was too bitter to drink.

He stood in front of the counter and drank the bitter juice quietly. As he drank, the look on his face did not change at all, except that he frowned when he took the first sip.

After finishing the sap, Chu Xun put down the cup gently. All the Subterranean Devil Warriors in the tavern were watching his every move in horror.

Bang! Bang...!

As soon as the cup landed on the counter, all the Subterranean Devil Warriors suddenly blew up and turned into blood mist at the same time.

Those girls were so paralyzed by fear that they couldn’t even scream. They were all trembling with fear.

“You are free now.” Chu Xun turned around and walked toward the tavern door.

After he walked out of the tavern, the look on his face suddenly changed. He turned around and rushed into the tavern. He saw a girl cutting her throat with a porcelain shard while trembling.

She was the last one that tried to kill herself. The other girls had all killed themselves and were now lying in pools of blood.

Chu Xun rushed over and desperately transferred Hong Meng Immortal Qi to her, trying to save her.

“Why?” He couldn’t understand why they committed suicide after they were set free.

“You don’t understand. If our masters die, we slaves must die as well. Otherwise, they will roast us on fire and then devour us. I would rather kill myself than be tortured like that.” The girl pushed Chu Xun’s hand away with difficulty and stopped him from transferring Hong Meng Immortal Qi to her.

Chu Xun felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body felt stiff as he blankly watched the girl close her eyes.

Those young human girls had died because of him.
