Chapter 468 The Death of Hong Ling!
Tan Yuqing was very angry with Yu Hong, thinking if it weren’t for this lecher, none of this would happen.
“It’s not too late to chase after them now,” Yu Hong said.
The speed of people at Grade Nine of Great Completion was incomparable to that of military vehicles.
However, at this time, countless soldiers and military vehicles with powerful thermal weapons rushed in this direction.
“Fall Back!” Tan Yuqing said angrily with a sullen face.
“Retreat because of this bunch of nonentities?” Yu Hong was unwilling to give up. If he let Tang Rou and Hong Ling escape, he would be in big trouble.
“The master said that this should be a secret battle. But it is now a clarifying confrontation. If our identity was exposed, it might ruin master’s plan.” Tan Yuqing’s face darkened.
“But how do we explain ourselves to the master then?” Yu Hong was terrified and couldn’t help shuddering at the thought of Wu Keyin’s punishment methods.
“This is it. If you want to go after him, go after him yourself.” Tan Yuqing snorted and turned to leave.
The two people at Grade Nine of Human King Realm looked at each other and then left with Tan Yuqing. They thought it was stupid of them to help Yu Hong now.
Yu Hong’s face was gloomy. Thinking of how Wu Keyin would react, he couldn’t help shivering. With a fierce look in his eyes, he went in the opposite direction of Tan Yuqing.
When countless soldiers rushed to the intersection and saw blood and broken arms all over the ground, they roared angrily and fired their guns to vent their anger.
At this time, Chu Xun was still drunk and was sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, he woke up, rushed out of the door and looked in the direction of Gujiang City.
“What the hell is going on? Why does Evocation of Heavenly Secrets run on its own?” Chu Xun’s heart skipped a beat, and he felt a bit panicked for no reason.
It was definitely not a good thing for Evocation of Heavenly Secrets to run on its own.
Both Jing Hong and Hua Qingwu were at the early stage of Gold Core. They had sensed Chu Xun the moment he appeared.
The two of them came to him almost at the same time.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Chu Xun frown, Jing Hong asked.
“Evocation of Heavenly Secrets is running on its own in Gujiang City. Something was happening there,” Chu Xun said.
“What can happen in Gujiang City? Our men are all on Qianlong Mountain, aren’t they?” Hua Qingwu was puzzled.
“I have to go and have a look. I have an intuition that something awful is about to happen.” Chu Xun decided to go and have a look. Evocation of Heavenly Secrets working automatically must have something to do with him.
“We’ll go with you.”
Chu Xun nodded.
Just as the three of them were about to leave, they saw Yan Yi running over in a panic.
“Sir, the troops stationed in Gujiang City called. Miss Tang Rou and Hong Ling were in danger.”
Chu Xun’s face suddenly changed.
“Is this really true? Tang Rou and Hong Ling were on the mountain in the afternoon. When did they go to Gujiang City?” Hua Qingwu said.
“The disciples at the foot of the mountain reported that Miss Tang Rou and Miss Hong Ling left Qianlong Mountain in the afternoon.”
Before Yan Yi could finish his words, Chu Xun disappeared in a flash.
Jing Hong and Hua Qingwu had no time to think further and followed Chu Xun closely.
Chu Xun moved very fast with all his strength. If something really happened to Tang Rou and Hong Ling, he wouldn’t forgive himself for the rest of his life.
It only took Chu Xun a few minutes to travel 50 kilometers. Because of his fast speed, he felt his blood was boiling and his skin was burning.
A new team was stationed at the intersection.
Chu Xun revealed his identity.
“Commander.”
Seeing Chu Xun, these soldiers were particularly excited.
Although this place had been cleaned, Chu Xun still found traces of the battle.
Guided by the soldiers, Chu Xun went to the hospital and saw Tang Rou and Hong Ling there.
Yu Hong had sealed Tang Rou’s cultivation and dislocated her jaw. These doctors were just ordinary people, so they could only pop her jaw back.
Only after that could Tang Rou speak and ask them to call their men at Qianlong Mountain for help.
Chu Xun unlocked the seal on Tang Rou.
“Brother Chu Xun.” Tang Rou hugged Chu Xun and cried. This time, she was really scared.
“I’m sorry.” Chu Xun’s heart was full of guilt. It was all his fault that Tang Rou was in danger.
Tang Rou cried for a long time and when she was tired, Chu Xun asked, “Where is Hong Ling?”
All the doctors and soldiers present were silent.
Chu Xun sensed an uneasiness inside him.
After Tang Rou was sent here, she was separated from Hong Ling, so she did not know how Hong Ling was. But looking at these people’s faces, she suddenly panicked.
“Where is Sister Hong Ling?” Tang Rou jumped out of bed and looked at the doctor next to her.
“Commander, please don’t be sad.” A soldier lowered his head and said in a low voice.
Chu Xun felt as if he was hit by a bomb, and his body shook a little.
Tang Rou’s face turned pale, and she looked at the soldier in disbelief. “What do you mean? Where is Sister Hong Ling?”
Several minutes later, Chu Xun and Tang Rou saw Hong Ling.
She was lying quietly on the bed, covered with a piece of white cloth, without breathing.
Chu Xun’s eyes became bloodshot immediately, and his killing intent was surging.
The soldiers and doctors around him couldn’t bear the frighteningly strong pressure. They could feel their blood was boiling and then they fell to the ground.
Jing Hong and Hua Qingwu, who rushed over after Chu Xun, hurriedly ran their internal energy to protect these people. Otherwise, they would be torn into pieces by Chu Xun’s pressure.
“You go out first.”
Jing Hong asked the soldiers and doctors present to leave. Even if she and Hua Qingwu joined hands, they could not stand Chu Xun’s pressure, not mention to push it back.
“Hong Ling, wake up... wake up...” Tang Rou cried while holding Hong Ling’s body.
“Chu Xun, calm down.” Seeing that something was wrong with Chu Xun, Jing Hong shouted.
Chu Xun came to his senses, and the blood in his eyes disappeared a little. He walked over, lifted the white cloth, and breath came in short pants again.
The doctor had treated Hong Ling’s back, but it was still badly mutilated and her internal organs had been shattered.
Chu Xun’s mind was in a whirl. Memories kept flooding back to him. When he first returned to Earth, he met Hong Ling in the antique market for the first time. She was dressed in red and looked extremely charming. In the underground casino, she attached herself to him. When Dramatic Change of Sky and Earth happened, she happened to get the seed of Dragon Flower and was saved by him. She guarded the Rock Sect, protected Qianlong Mountain, and fought all over the country. A few hours ago, she was still quarreling and drinking with him, but now the death did them apart.
“Ah...” Chu Xun couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart. He raised his head and roared. The tables and chairs were shredded by the sound waves, and the whole hospital was shaking.
Although Chen Hanlong and Hong Ling’s were not that good at cultivation, they meant a lot to Chu Xun.
The death of such a beautiful woman, a close friend wrenched at Chu Xun’s heart.
He once swore that he would never let anyone around him get hurt again in his life. When he saw Hong Ling lying quietly in front of him, he could not accept the fact.
“Kill them!”
Chu Xun raised his head and roared, shaking the sky.
At the same time, in a hotel room in Gujiang City, Tan Yuqing and the other two people at Grade Nine of Human King Realm were screaming miserably.
They rolled on the ground, blue veins all over their bodies bulging, and were enduring massive torture.
“You good-for-nothing.” Wu Keyin said angrily.
“Master, please spare my life.” Tan Yuqing was at Grade Nine of Great Completion, but at this moment, his face was distorted and his saliva was dripping.
“Yu Hong, how dare you betray me? You’ve been poisoned with Bone Melting Pill. Without the antidote, how long can you live?” Wu Keyin’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
“Master... Master, please spare my life.” Tan Yuqing pleaded. Bone Melting Pill could slowly melt one’s bones and the person would become a pool of blood.
“It’s Yu Hong’s fault, but you have failed to supervise him. I won’t kill you three this time, but you will receive a small punishment.” Wu Keyin flicked out three black pills.
The three of them hurriedly picked one pill up and stuffed it into their mouths. This was the antidote to Bone Melting Pill.
Tan Yuqing’s cultivation was profound, so he recovered more quickly. The other two at Grade Nine of Human King Realm couldn’t even stand up after taking the antidote.
Once Bone Melting Pill took effect, it would melt the bones bit by bit. The pill-taker would definitely die after suffering a killing pain. Besides, the pill-taker would even have no strength to commit suicide.
“Are you sure that the woman named Hong Ling will die?” Wu Keyin asked.
“I’m sure.” Tan Yuqing wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Wu Keyin chuckled slightly, which was particularly scary. “I hope this Hong Ling is very important in Devil Chu’s heart, otherwise her death will be worthless.”
At this moment, a roar sounded in the void.
Wu Keyin’s eyes lit up. “Whose voice is this?”
“It’s the Devil,” a person at Grade Nine of Human King Realm got up and said respectfully, “I have seen him once, and have an impression of his voice.”
Wu Keyin was pleasantly surprised. “I didn’t expect that the Devil would really appear. His voice is full of anger. It seems that Hong Ling’s death is worth it.”
“Master, what should we do now?” Tan Yuqing asked respectfully.
“Just enjoy the show.” Wu Keyin’s eyes crinkled at the edges. It seemed that Chu Xun’s anger made him in a good mood. “Ask our men who are keeping an eye on Qianlong Mountain to continue their job, and send someone to find out where Yu Hong is.”
“Yes, sir,” Tan Yuqing said.
In the military hospital, Chu Xun had calmed down a lot.
However, Jing Hong and Hua Qingwu knew that there must be a terrible storm hidden under Chu Xun’s calmness.
“Let’s take Hong Ling back and let her rest in peace!” Jing Hong said.
Chu Xun nodded.
Hong Ling’s body was taken back to Qianlong Mountain.
Everyone in Qianlong Mountain wailed mournfully. They were so sad that they couldn’t control themselves.
Hong Ling had lived in Qianlong Mountain for a long time. For Liu Ran, Yan Lan, and the other elders, she was their child.
Looking at her cold body, the elders cried so hard that they even fainted.
Chen Hanlong and others were close to Hong Ling. During the period of Dramatic Change of Sky and Earth, many old friends had disappeared. Now that Hong Ling had died, they were quite sad and could not control themselves.
Chu Xun opened up a cemetery in Qianlong Mountain, and put a formation to protect it.
The first tombstone was Hong Ling’s.
After Hong Ling was buried, Chu Xun asked Tang Rou what had happened to them.
“The Mustelid race.” Chu Xun’s eyes were cold.
“I think there is something strange about this,” Jing Hong said. She raised her hand, and there was a black hair on her fingertip. “I found it on Tang Rou.”
“By the way, one of them is called Tan Yuqing, and the other is called Yu Hong.” Tang Rou remembered that during the quarrel, they had called each other by their names.
“Brother Chu Xun, please avenge Sister Hong Ling.” After saying that, Tang Rou stood up and walked out.
“What are you going to do?” Chu Xun noticed that there was something wrong with Tang Rou.
“I want to accompany Sister Hong Ling beside her tomb for ten years.” Tang Rou straightened her slender body.
“Accompany Hong Ling for ten years?”
Chu Xun, Jing Hong, and Hua Qingwu were all shocked.
“Don’t bother talking me out of this. I’ve made up my mind,” Tang Rou said.
Chu Xun swallowed the words that he was about to say. He was a little worried because Tang Rou had changed a lot. She just cried when she saw Hong Ling’s body, but never shed a tear again after that. This was not like her.
“Rourou, do you think that you caused Hong Ling’s death?” Hua Qingwu said.
Tang Rou’s delicate body trembled slightly. “If it weren’t for me, Sister Hong Ling wouldn’t have died.”
“Rourou, you are overthinking it...”
“Sister Wu, Sister Jing Hong, please take care of Brother Chu Xun in the future.” Tang Rou interrupted Hua Qingwu and then walked out of the door.
After a few steps, Tang Rou suddenly stopped. She turned to look at Chu Xun and said, “Sister Hong Ling asked me to bring you some words.”
“What?”
“She said that she loved you!”
After Tang Rou finished speaking, she gradually walked away.
Chu Xun was surprised to hear that Hong Ling liked him. He then remembered what Hong Ling said to him after he refused Tang Rou that day.
Chu Xun closed his eyes, and two drops of tears flowed down his cheeks. He did not know how much he owed her. “Hong Ling, your love is too great. I am not worth it,” he thought.
However, when Chu Xun opened his eyes again, they were full of indifference. He called Flame Wyrm, Long Liu and his other four brothers over.
“Take my orders and lead the forces stationed in Gujiang City to block the entire city. People are only allowed to enter and no one leaves. Anyone who disobeys will be killed.” After saying this, Chu Xun looked at Jing Hong and Hua Qingwu. “Contact Scarlet Siren, Long Yi and Long Er, and try to contact Jiu You and ask them to come here. You two, go guard the main roads in Gujiang City.”
Hua Qingwu wanted to follow Chu Xun, but Jing Hong stopped her. Jing Hong knew that Chu Xun was sad and serious. At this moment, no one could disobey his orders, not even her and Hua Qingwu.
After everyone left, Chu Xun took out the black hair that was found in Tang Rou.
Chu Xun made a magic signet, and the black hair floated in the air. He bit his finger, and flicked a drop of blood, which fell on the hair.
In an instant, the hair was surrounded by a red light.
Chu Xun made another magic signet, and the hair flew out of Qianlong Mountain.
The Art of Owner Tracking!
The skin and hair were also parts of one’s body. Through tracking the hair, one could find its owner.
Chu Xun caught up with the hair as fast as lightning.
The hair took Chu Xun all the way to the southeast, in the direction of Yu Hong’s escape.
The hair was like a flash of light and as fast as lightning. Chu Xun followed it closely.
He ran at breakneck speed for several hours.
In Jun City.
It was thousands of miles away from Gujiang City.
“There’s nowhere for you to run.” After saying that, Chu Xun followed the hair into the city.
After entering the city, the hair began to fly about.
Chu Xun put away the hair. It seemed that the owner of the hair had stayed in this city before, so he left his smell everywhere.
“Governor of Jun City, come and see me.”
Chu Xun had no scruples at all. He raised his head and roared angrily, which shocked all the warriors in the whole city.
Who was this person? He was so arrogant! He actually dared to order the governor of Jun City to come to see him.
Jun City was guarded by the Mo Family, which had existed for thousands of years.
When Mo Wuyang, the patriarch of the Mo Family, heard the roar, his face changed slightly, thinking the person with such a roar must be extraordinarily powerful.
Mo Wuyang felt something strange. In the past few days, there had been two big shots coming to Jun City.
“I am Mo Wuyang, the patriarch of the Mo Family. Please come and have a chat with me,” Mo Wuyang shouted loudly. His voice was like thunder.
Chu Xun rushed over to where the voice sounded. In the blink of an eye, he landed in a vast courtyard.
Mo Wuyang was tall and had a strong aura. He was dressed in splendid clothes and had an extraordinary bearing.
“I heard your order. What can I do for you?” These words were very subtle. Mo Wuyang was hinting that Chu Xun was too arrogant by using the word “order”.
Chu Xun was not in the mood for formalities.
“I’m Chu Xun, and I’m tracking a person. This person once stayed in Jun City, so I would like to ask if you know this person.”
“You are Chu Xun the Devil?” Mo Wuyang was shocked. It was said that the Devil had been missing for a long time. How could he be here?
Chu Xun nodded and said, “This man is only at Grade Nine of Great Completion, and he is good at cultivation. Do you know him?”
Mo Wuyang saw the murderous intent of Chu Xun. He himself was at Grade Nine of Great Completion, but he was also shocked by Chu Xun’s aura.
Moreover, the Devil was not someone to be trifled with. He did not want to offend Chu Xun for no reason.
“Three days ago, a person at Grade Nine of Great Completion passed by Jun City and headed east.” The Mo Family naturally paid special attention to the sudden appearance of such a powerful person in Jun City.
“Patriarch Mo, do you know his name?” Chu Xun asked.
“He didn’t visit our family. He just passed by. So we had nothing to do with each other,” Mo Wuyang said. After a moment of silence, he added, “However, some disciples of our family saw this person. If you wants his portrait, I can get someone to draw it.”
“Thank you for your kindness, Patriarch Mo. Sorry to bother you. I should get going now.” Chu Xun only needed to know the general direction of this person.
Chu Xun rushed to the east. After he flew out of Jun City, he made a magic sign to perform Art of Owner Tracking again.
A day later, Chu Xun came to a place called Kun City.
Now, the sky and earth were still changing. Many cities were surrounded by high walls and moats to prevent the invasion of fierce beasts.
Those distinguished families of Martial Tao took over the city and established themselves as kings. Fortunately, they lived in peace with the country and did not do anything out of line.
These major forces were in charge of managing the warriors in the city.
The troops stationed in the city protect the civilians.
There was peace between the two forces, and the country also turned a blind eye to it, which was a tacit admission.
In Kun City.
This city was guarded by Profound Sky Sect, which had existed for thousands of years.
Chu Xun followed the hair into the city, and the hair flew straight to the mansion of Profound Sky Sect.
The mansion was as big as smaller city. Profound Sky Sect was extremely arrogant. They actually built another palace in the city, occupying a fourth of the Kun City’s area. It was luxurious and spectacular.
The hair flew in the direction of Profound Sky Sect.
Chu Xun followed it like a shadow.
“Who are you? How dare you barge into Profound Sky Sect? Do you want to die?” The guards of the Sect were all at First Grade of Human King Realm.
“Have you ever seen a cultivator at Grade Nine of Great Completion come here recently?” Chu Xun asked.
“Who are you? Get lost quickly, or we won’t be merciful. Profound Sky Sect is not a police station. Go there if you are in trouble,” one of them joked.
Chu Xun didn’t bother to pay attention to them. After he made a magic signet, the hair flew inside, followed by Chu Xun.
“How dare you!”
The four people at First Grade of Human King Realm suddenly attacked Chu Xun.
Boom!
Chu Xun’s Hong Meng Immortal Qi swept across the four people, causing them to fly out and cough up mouthfuls of blood.
Chu Xun only used part of his strength. Otherwise, they could easily explode and become a bloody mist.
Chu Xun followed the hair into Profound Sky Sect. There were many corridors and a pavilions. It was ridiculously large.
“We are attacked!”
The four guards, who had been sent flying, got up and shouted.
Immediately!
Countless disciples of Profound Sky Sect appeared and surrounded Chu Xun.
A person at Grade Five of Human King Realm stepped forward and shouted, “Who are you? How dare you barge into Profound Sky Sect?!”
Chu Xun stared at the direction of the hair. He didn’t want to answer at all and hurried towards the hair.
“Take him!” The person was furious.
Dozens of disciples of Profound Sky Sect rushed toward Chu Xun with weapons in their hands.
Boom!
The Hong Meng Immortal Qi swept across them like raging waves. The disciples who rushed up were all sent flying and fell to the ground.
So did the man at Grade Five of Human King Realm. He was blown away by the air blast and smashed the rockery in the courtyard. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone looked at Chu Xun in horror, and their hands and feet were cold.
Chu Xun didn’t care about these lowly disciples at all. He followed the hair and rushed to the inner courtyard.
