The Immortal Emperor Returns-Chapter 47 - Illusion!

Chu Xun smiled tenderly and looked calm.

However, Qin Huanyu had a strong hunch that this was probably the tranquility before the storm. He wondered if he were Chu Xun, what would he do if his woman suffered such a great humiliation? He would at least feel very angry and could not be as calm as Chu Xun.

“Rourou, go to wait for me in the rest room,” said Chu Xun with a smile.

Tang Rou could not help but pout her small mouth, reluctant to leave.

Chu Xun comforted her in a soft voice. He was always patient to those who were around him.

Tang Rou knew that Chu Xun certainly would solve her problem. Having suffered the humiliation and given that it was hard for her see Chu Xun, she was unwilling to leave.

“Tang Rou, let’s go out first! I believe Mr. Chu will handle everything well. Let’s not disturb him,” Liu Xin walked forward and whispered to Tang Rou. She had more social experiences than Tang Rou, so she knew that Chu Xun did not want Tang Rou to see what would happen in the following time.

Tang Rou hesitated for a moment, looked up at Chu Xun and said, “Promise me you will come to see me.”

“Yes, I promise I’ll come to see you.” Chu Xun nodded with a smile.

Tang Rou left the place with Liu Xin reluctantly. She did not know that so far, she was the only one who dared to act in a reckless manner in front of Chu Xun.

“All you unrelated personnel should also go out.”

After Tang Rou left, the smile on Chu Xun’s face disappeared, and he looked indifferent.

The several senior executives could not help but look toward Qin Huanyu.

Qin Huanyu frowned secretly. It made him feel very uncomfortable that Chu Xun stole the show as soon as he came in.

“Little brother, did you take this place as your own home?”

Qin Huanyu felt it necessary to declare whose place it was.

Chu Xun’s expression remained unchanged. He looked around, and as his eyes finally fell on Qin Huanyu, he smiled.

“I don’t care whose place it is. As long as I want to, I can turn this place into a slaughterhouse.”

Slaughterhouse?

This time, apart from Qin Huanyu, the several senior executives also looked angry and wondered if Chu Xun was comparing them to animals.

“Clap!”

Huang Chenguang had suppressed his anger for a long time. At the moment, he could not hold back his anger any more. He stood up and pounded on the table before saying, “Who do you think you are? Open your eyes, kid! This is not where you can act so arrogantly.”

Chen Hanlong and Zheng Guangyi felt a chill on hearing the words and thought at the same time that this idiot was dead.

However, the others all felt relieved and pleased on hearing Huang Chenguang’s words.

Chu Xun looked at Huang Chenguang coldly and asked in an icy tone, “Are you one of those who bullied Rourou just now?”

“So what if I’m?” Huang Chenguang questioned disdainfully.

“Very good!” 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

Chu Xun’s raised mouth corners looked chilling. As his shadow swayed, he disappeared from where he was. When he appeared again, he was only five meters away in front of Huang Chenguang.

The people present were shocked by Chu Xun’s sudden disappearance and reappearance.

“Rise.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Chu Xun suddenly raised his hand gently.

“Boom!”

Hundreds of fire dragons rose into the sky around Huang Chenguang.

Chu Xun was performing the Ninth Heaven Burning Formation.

Though the formation was a small one, it was enough to deal with Huang Chenguang.

“Refining!”

As Chu Xun’s voice fell, hundreds of fire dragons pounced toward Huang Chenguang. With a light whizzing sound, all the fire dragons disappeared. Huang Chenguang was left in the posture he was in several seconds ago as if what had happened just now were just a flash in the pan.

“Old Huang, are you all right?” Qin Huanyu asked subconsciously, but there was no response. He thought that Huang Chenguang was angry at him and did not want to talk to him for he did not show due respect to Huang Chenguang that day. “Old Huang, don’t be so mean.” As Qin Huanyu said that, he walked over trying to pat Huang Chenguang on the shoulder.

However, the moment he touched Huang Chenguang, he sounded a cracking sound—Huang Chenguang collapsed. Yes, Huang Chenguang collapsed into a pile of dust.

“Ahh...”

Being the closest to Huang Chenguang, Chen Qianqian screamed harshly and retreated backward rolling and crawling.

The pupils of other people suddenly dilated, and their faces were full of fear.

Especially Qin Huanyu, he was frozen on the spot and couldn’t help trembling. He wanted to escape but couldn’t even lift his feet.

In the blink of an eye, a living man had turned into a pile of ash. The hundreds of fire dragons, which appeared and disappeared quickly, had turned Huang Chenguang into this.

Chen Hanlong and Zhen Guangyi felt their legs went weak, but at the same time, their faces were full of disdain. “The ending of those who dare to talk to Chu Xun in this way should be like this.” they thought to themselves.

There was a foul smell in the air, and some people were scared into wetting their pants.

Chu Xun frowned and waved his hand gently, and a hurricane rose up out of thin air and rolled up the ashes that Huang Chenguang had been turned into. The hurricane then disappeared from the mid-air and dispelled the foul smell at the same time.

Chu Xun smashed Huang Chenguang’s bones and scattered his ashes.

The people who were present could not help but think of this chilling sentence.

“Plop.”

The sound of someone falling on the ground made everyone’s heart beat faster. Following the sound, they saw that a senior executive passed out in fear.

However, no one laughed at this executive but envied him. After all, this executive would no longer feel feared after he fainted.

Chu Xun looked indifferent. He walked to Lin Hong, and with a wave of his hand, Lin Hong bumped on the window and flew out of it as if he had been bumped away by a powerful force.

“Plop!”

Qin Huanyu could not hold on any more and collapsed on the ground.

Since they were on the 22nd floor, Lin Hong would die after being thrown out of the window.

Chu Xun looked calm as if he had killed an ant, not a human. Three years ago, he was unable to protect himself and his parents, but now, he was capable of protecting his friends from being harmed.

There was dead silence in the room. Now, no one doubted Chu Xun’s words and all believed that Chu Xun could turn the place into a slaughterhouse. They felt like that they were lambs to the slaughter.

When Chu Xun looking at those feared and trembling people, a rare feeling of pity rose in his heart because he recalled that he was like them when he was framed back then.

As he shook his head, raised and waved his hand, the air around him was twisted, but soon, it was all peace in the room.

“Wheeze... Wheeze...”

Heavy panting sounds kept echoing in the room. Clothes soaked in sweat, people all panted heavily as if they had been saved out of water, and they all felt they had experienced a narrow escape.

“Old Huang, Lin Hong...” Qin Huanyu screamed in shock. Maybe because he was feared or because he was shocked, his voice sounded hoarse.

The people in the room trembled subconsciously. They looked back, only to see Huang Chenguang and Lin Hong sit there safe and sound.

“You... didn’t you die?” Qin Huanyu said in a stuttering tone.

With their faces as pale as paper, Huang Chenguang and Lin Hong could not help trembling. At the moment, they could not think and even did not know whether they were alive or dead. The feeling of being killed was so real that they all thought they were dead now.

Chu Xun raised the corner of his mouth with sarcasm on his face. The moment he entered this meeting room, he had turned the room into an Illusory Formation. Thus, what these people had experienced was just an illusion.

Chu Xun did have thought about killing Huang Chenguang and Lin Hong, but he gave up the thought in the end. After all, they were in a society ruled by law. Besides, he was not powerful enough, so he did not want to cause trouble. Moreover, killing was a choice only when there was no other alternative, and it would only bring him with more bad karma. Last but not least, he was not a maniac killer, and he would only kill whose who deserved death.

Qin Huanyu and others looked at Chu Xun with horror in their eyes. As for Chen Qianqian, she had long been collapsed and trembling on the ground and in fear.

Chu Xun walked over and sat down on Qin Huanyu’s seat. He then looked around with a meaningful expression.

“You’re Director Qin, right?” Chu Xun suddenly looked at Qin Huanyu and asked.

Qin Huanyu trembled suddenly and his teeth started to shiver. Sweats flowed into his eyes, causing pain in his eyes. However, he dared not to wipe his sweats and could only keep nodding his head.

“Shall I leave Rourou’s matter to you?”

Qin Huanyu was stunned and looked up in confusion.

“I... can handle it. I promise...” Qin Huanyu’s teeth shivered, making clattering sound. He could not utter a complete sentence, but luckily, he had made himself clear.

Chu Xun smiled and nodded slightly.

“Then, I’ll wait for your good news, Director Qin.” After saying this, Chu Xun then looked at Chen Hanlong and Zheng Guangyi, saying, “The two of you stay here and lend a hand to Director Qin.”

“Yes.”

The two of them quickly replied.

Chu Xun nodded and turned to leave.

...

Chu Xun left the room and used his divine sense to locate Tang Rou.

In Tang Rou’s rest room, Liu Xin had changed into another set of clothes, and the bloody scratch on her hand had been wrapped up. Looking at Tang Rou, who looked toward the door from time to time, Liu Xin felt amused.

“Tang Rou, the man you called Brother Chu Xun, who is him exactly?” Liu Xin asked curiously.

Tang Rou stared at the door and answered casually, “He is Brother Chu Xun, or who else can he be?”

Liu Xin rolled her eyes helplessly. There was no problem with the answer indeed.

“Stop looking at the door, or you will leave two holes on it.” Liu Xin moved a chair to sit in front of Tang Rou and teased her. “You like that Brother Chu Xun, right?”

“Huh?” Tang Rou was stunned at first, and soon, her face blushed.

“Wow...your face is so blushed. What I said is true, right?” Liu Xin teased with a playful smile.

“No, don’t talk nonsense.” Tang Rou retorted hurriedly and wondered if she had showed her feeling toward Chu Xun so obviously.

“So you mean you don’t like him,” Liu Xin said in a dragged tone with a playful smile. “That’s great. Since you don’t like him, I can feel at ease to pursue him. He is really handsome...”

“You can’t pursue Brother Chu Xun...” Tang Rou got anxious and blurted out the words.

Liu Xin asked with a sly expression, “Why can’t I pursue him? You don’t like him anyway, so just leave the chance to me. Let charity begin at home.”

“No, you can’t pursue Brother Chu Xun anyway.”

“Haha...” Liu Xin could not help but point at Tang Rou and laugh. “You exposed your mind. How could you deny that you don’t like him?”

Tang Rou was stunned and realized that she had been fooled by Liu Xin. Her face blushed, and she pretended to try to cover Liu Xin’s mouth. The two girls chased each other noisily.

...

Standing outside the door, Chu Xun had heard every single word they said. He, of course, knew Tang Rou’s feeling toward him, but because he had been cultivating for a long time, he became emotionless and thought little about this kind of things. Moreover, his parents were still missing; how could he be indulged in personal feelings? Thinking of this, he sighed lightly. He could only let Tang Rou down for the time being.
