BXBX NOVEL Chapter 244 - The Submission of the Rock Sect!
Chapter 244 The Submission of the Rock Sect!
Chu Xun told Wu Ming to go back to the Tianlong Fort as a spy and report their movements to him. Since the team they sent to Longcheng City to seize the fortune had been wiped out, they wouldn’t let the matter down.
In addition, Chu Xun told Wu Ming to find out the location of the treasure house of the Tianlong Fort as soon as possible.
When Chu Xun returned to the door of the hotel, the fight had been over.
Jiu You broke Chai Yuan’s legs and all his bones. Thus, Chai Yuan was dying.
Wen Zhong was beaten down by Lei Bao. He got burned all over, lying on the ground and twitching.
As for those half Human Kings, they were disabled by Winsome Widow and Yan Chong, who was in a rage.
Seeing that Chu Xun came back alone, the people around all guessed that he failed to catch up with Wu Ming.
“Master, how about them?”
Lei Bao asked respectfully.
Only the few of them knew that Wu Ming would end the same way as Zuo Ziqiu did.
Chu Xun’s tone was cold as he replied, “Destroy their cultivation and left them to fend for themselves.”
Since they had already become the Tianlong Fort’s enemies, there was no need for them to show any mercy. If these people went back and recovered from their injuries, they would only cause trouble for Chu Xun and his companions.
With a few shrill shrieks, all the people from the Tianlong Fort were deprived of their cultivation.
Later, Yan Chong went to check if there was any empty room in the hotel, but found that there was no empty room left.
Yan Yi’s injury had almost recovered. He walked over and said, “Chu Xun, if you don’t mind, let’s share a room.”
Chu Xun waved his hand and said to Yan Chong, “Go to check out who has booked the eight rooms next to Mr. Yan Yi’s room.”
Yan Chong went to check it. After a while, he came back with an odd expression on his face.
“Master, all the ten rooms next to that room have been booked by the Sifang Sword Sect.”
Chu Xun was surprised. “What a coincidence,” he thought to himself. The corners of his lips curled into a smirk as he said in an overbearing tone, “Tell them to get out of the rooms.”
The people around were stunned. This was... indeed what Chu the Devil would do. He had just frustrated the people from the Tianlong Fort hard, and now he had set his eyes on the Sifang Sword Sect.
However, just as everyone knew, Chu Xun’s relationship with the Sifang Sword Sect was very tense. After he reappeared, the first Human King he killed was Cui Xingyi, who was a member of the Sifang Sword Sect.
Yan Chong, Lei Bao, and Winsome Widow rushed into the hotel. After a few minutes, they came out.
Chu Xun raised his eyebrows and looked at them with enquiring eyes.
“Master, the people of the Sifang Sword Sect have left.” Yan Chong had a strange expression on his face.
“After the Tianlong Fort suffered such a huge setback from us, it would be strange if they don’t flee.” Winsome Widow chuckled with disdain.
Lei Bao nodded with a smile on his face, which caused his beard to shake. In the past, these sects would not take the Fire Dragon Palace seriously.
“They’ve fled really fast, or I’ll crush them,” Jiu You, who looked very pretty, said in a childish yet chilling voice.
Chu Xun smiled and then ruffled Jiu You’s soft purple hair. “Little girl, don’t pretend to be mature and experienced.”
Jiu You glared at Chu Xun, feeling wronged. Then, she tidied up her hair.
“Let’s go in,” Chu Xun said to Yan Yi and others.
Then, this group of people entered the hotel in a mighty manner.
As the Sifang Sword Sect left ten empty rooms there and Chu Xun only had eight people on his side, there were still two empty rooms after each of them took one.
Jiu You wanted to stay with Chu Xun in the same room, but Chu Xun picked her up and threw her into another room.
Chu Xun went back to his room and recalled the Storage Ring that he seized from You Tianyi. He had a rough look at it before and found that there were a lot of good things in it.
You Tianyi’s Storage Ring was of high quality, with ancient and mysterious patterns on it. What’s more, the space inside was very large, about 200 cubic meters. You Tianyi’s cultivation was not high enough, so he had only been able to activate half of the space. Now, Chu Xun activated the rest of the space.
He didn’t know where You Tianyi got this ring and guessed that maybe he got it from a relic. Unfortunately, You Tianyi was dead, so Chu Xun was not sure if he could find that relic.
What surprised Chu Xun was that there were several pieces of Cold Stone of Fantasy in the ring, which were the most important materials for building Storage Space. However, these stones were only about the size of the fist of a child.
Chu Xun thought for a moment and decided to refine those stones into a Storage Space.
It took him an afternoon to make those stones into five Storage Rings. However, the quality of the rings was not high, and the space inside each ring was only about 20 cubic meters. After all, they were made with only Cold Stone of Fantasy.
Chu Xun secretly transmitted a voice message to Jiu You, Yan Chong, and others, telling them to come to his room.
Yan Chong and the others were practicing when Chu Xun’s voice suddenly sounded in their minds, and it almost scared them into Qi deviation.
“What’s this? Is it the logo of the Fire Dragon Palace?” After putting on the ring, Lei Bao asked curiously.
“Place one drop of your blood on it,” Chu Xun said.
Lei Bao forced a drop of blood out of his finger and placed it on the ring. Then, he saw red light flowing inside the ring, and the blood was absorbed quickly. The next moment, Lei Bao suddenly opened his mouth wide, widened his eyes, and said excitedly, “There is a storage space in it.”
As he said that, he waved his hand above the table, and the tea set on it suddenly disappeared.
Yan Chong and Winsome Widow looked stunned, and they stared at the ring on Lei Bao’s finger with keen eyes.
They had heard of Storage Space for a long time, but they didn’t have the chance to see it.
Chu Xun took out two more rings and gave them to Yan Chong and Winsome Widow respectively.
The two of them were so excited that their faces were blushed. They took the ring with trembling hands and couldn’t wait to use their blood to bind the ring with them.
Without saying a word, Jiu You blinked her eyes and peeked at the rings on their fingers from the corner of her eyes.
Chu Xun was amused after seeing her expression, and he took out a small ring. Jiu You was small, and her fingers were slender, so Chu Xun specially made a small ring for her.
Seeing this, Jiu You grabbed the ring eagerly and put it on her finger, and then she bound the ring with her through a drop of her blood.
Generally speaking, ordinary Storage Rings couldn’t be bound to anyone, but Chu Xun set a magic formation on their rings. Thus, except for their owners, others couldn’t open them.
After they almost calmed down, Chu Xun waved his hand, and several weapons appeared. There were silver spear, huge mace, broadsword, and Purple-gold Armor, which had been broken but was repaired by Chu Xun.
All of a sudden, all the metal objects in the room started shaking, and a fierce aura spread out while rays of light erupting.
The several of them were stunned with their eyes fixed on those weapons. Yan Chong swallowed secretly. They couldn’t remain calm in the face of so many treasures.
“Each of you pick one weapon that fits you,” Chu Xun said.
“Are you going to give them to us?” Lei Bao’s throat became dry.
Yan Chong’s and Winsome Widow’s eyes were burning with greed. Those were secret treasures... and it was hard to find them. Yet, Chu Xun took out four at a time, and maybe he still had more.
Jiu You had already moved to snatch the silver spear.
The other three people could not wait any longer as well. Yan Chong rushed to seize the broadsword, Lei Bao grabbed the huge mace, while Winsome Widow snatched the Purple-gold Armor.
Holding the broadsword, Yan Chong showed a silly smile. He forced out a drop of blood out of his body and dripped it on the broadsword. Unfortunately, the blood slipped to the ground.
“You don’t have to bind it with you through your blood,” Chu Xun said with a smile. Only those artifacts which had a spirit could be bound through blood.
The few of them were overjoyed. With those secret treasures, their battling power increased greatly.
“You’re so generous, master.” Lei Bao was happy.
“Thank you, master...”
Chu Xun looked at Jiu You and couldn’t help laughing. Jiu You was trying to carry the silver spear on her back, but she was too small and filed to do so. Finally, she threw the spear into her Storage Ring angrily.
About half an hour later, Lei Bao and others slowly calmed down.
“All of a sudden, I became rich from being poor. I have a feeling that god of luck had knocked on the wrong door.” Yan Chong was still a little excited. “Old Lei, hit me. I want to know if I’m dreaming or not.”
Lei Bao nodded and then raised his huge mace.
Yan Chong was startled. “What are you doing?”
“I’m trying to let you know you’re not dreaming and to test the power of my mace.”
“Piss off,” Yan Chong said grumpily. How could he not be killed after being hit by such a huge mace?
“Well, stop playing. Mr. Yan Yi is here.”
Yan Chong and the others put away their secret treasures.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
Yan Chong rushed over and opened the door.
“Mr. Yan.”
Yan Yi hurriedly greeted Yan Chong as well. In any case, Yan Chong was a Human King. If it weren’t for Chu Xun, Yan Yi would have to address Yan Chong as senior respectfully.
Yan Yi came in and saw the other people in the room. “Are you talking about something? Then I’ll come back later,” he asked.
“It’s okay. We’ve finished our discussion.” Chu Xun stood up. “What can I do for you, Mr. Yan?”
“I did have something to tell you.” Yan Yi’s expression was very serious.
“Don’t hesitate, Mr. Yan. Just tell me what I can do for you,” Chu Xun said. He owed Yan Yi a favor, so he had to help him.
“I want to let my Rock Sect follow your lead,” Yan Yi said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Chong and the others, as well as Chu Xun, were all stunned.
“Why? Are you in any trouble? If you need help, just tell me. I’ll do whatever I can to help you.” Chu Xun looked surprised. Compared to those old forces that had been known for many years, the Rock Sect was indeed a little weak. However, it had a history of several hundred years, so it possessed some power. It should be difficult for such a sect to submit to others so easily.
Yan Yi replied, “To tell you the truth, our sect is in some tough troubles.” Then, he told Chu Xun what had happened in detail.
It turned out that the Rock Sect was located in the Mt Wujin. After the mutation of the earth, the Mt Wujin suddenly changed as well and became full of spiritual energy. Therefore, it was targeted by many forces. Among them, there was a force named the Broken Souls Cult and was the most powerful one. The people of the cult told the Rock Sect to leave the Mt Wujin within a month; otherwise, they would slaughter the sect.
“Broken Souls Cult?”
Yan Chong’s voice was full of shock.
“You know this sect?” Chu Xun asked curiously.
Yan Chong replied, “The Broken Souls Cult is a mysterious force that has risen up in the past half a year. All of its disciples are dressed in black with their faces covered by a black cloth. It’s hard to see their appearance. But their cultivation is strong, and they use a kind of weapon named Soul-breaking Snag. I heard that many forces have been slaughtered by them. They are very cruel and ruthless.
“Because the Broken Souls Cult was so cruel and killed so many people, many forces were dissatisfied with them, and they joined hands to kill them three months ago. However, to their shock, the Broken Souls Cult sent out ten Human Kings and overpowered them. As a result, only a dozen of them survived while hundreds of them were killed,” Lei Bao continued.
Chu Xun raised his eyebrows and thought that the Broken Souls Cult was really a strong force for it sent out ten Human Kings to attack their enemy at a time.
“Even if our Rock Sect retreat from the Mt Wujin, we could hardly protect ourselves. The Rock Sect has a history of several hundred years and possesses some power. Thus, it has been targeted by other forces. We’d rather submit to the Chu Mansion than being swallowed by other forces. At least, we could find a shelter for those several hundreds of people in our sect and won’t be killed,” Yan Yi said with a helpless look in his eyes.
Chu Xun could understand Yan Yi’s helpless situation. People wouldn’t have choices if they were weaker than their enemy. For example. if it weren’t for Chu Xun, the Rock Sect, which had existed for hundreds of years, would have been wiped out by the Tianlong Fort alone. Perhaps, Yan Yi understood this too, so he came to Chu Xun for help.
“Then the other people in your sect...”
“Don’t worry. All of us are sincere to submit to you, and this is a decision made by me and the elders in our sect jointly. Once you accept us, we’ll try our best to follow your lead and will never betray you,” Yan Yi said in a serious tone.
Chu Xun’s furrowed eyebrows smoothed as he said seriously, “I owe you a big favor, Mr. Yan, so I’ll accept you and your sect and will try my best to keep you safe. If you don’t want to follow my lead someday, you can go and I won’t stop you.”
Chu Xun had wanted to return the favor. However, to his surprise, Yan Yi looked angry after hearing his words. “Chu Xun, I’m not a man who would go back on my words. Though I did you a favor before, you helped me as well today, so we’re even. Once the Rock Sect submits to you, it will follow your lead forever and will never betray you. If you accept us just because you wanted to return the favor, I can’t accept it. You can take it as I have never come today,” Yan Yi said.
Chu Xun couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He was not considerate enough in terms of this matter. He underestimated Yan Yi’s good character. He really wanted to help, but...
“Mr. Yan, please don’t be angry. I’ll accept you and your sect. In the future, I’ll regard you the same as my other fellows.”
After he heard Chu Xun’s words, Yan Yi didn’t look angry anymore. With a smile, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, “Greetings, master.”
Chu Xun quickly helped him up. As a matter of fact, he really appreciated Yan Yi’s decisive character.
After that, they discussed for a while. Chu Xun told Yan Yi that the Rock Sect didn’t have to retreat from the Mt Wujin. After he finished his business there, he would go to the Mt Wujin and deal with the Broken Souls Cult.
