Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 232 - 232 231 Long Family Bows Down Midnight Update

232: Chapter 231 Long Family Bows Down [Midnight Update] 232: Chapter 231 Long Family Bows Down [Midnight Update] The comer was none other than Li Chen!

Li Chen stood with his hands behind his back, watching Long Wuhen and the others with a smile that was not quite a smile.

“Long Family Master, what are you doing here?

Discussing how to take revenge on me?”

Long Wuhen, frightened, hurried forward and saluted Li Chen with clasped hands.

“Immortal Master Li, you are an unparalleled powerhouse.

My father devoted his life only to Martial Arts.

Now at the age of 120, he was able to die in battle at your hands during a duel, and it is considered a death well met.

I believe my father, even in death, would smile contentedly in the underworld.”

Li Chen heard Long Wuhen speak boldly and could not help but regard him highly.

“Long Family Master, do you know where you went wrong?”

Long Wuhen pondered carefully before replying with clasped hands: “I should not have provoked Immortal Master Li!”

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, “Is that all?”

Long Wuhen was taken aback, truly unable to figure out where else he had provoked this Killing God.

Li Chen coldly smirked and said, “It seems the Long Family Master really has a short memory.

Well, let me remind you.

Did you ever send someone to Donghua to attack a chief physician named Tang Lan?”

Hearing this, Long Wuhen was greatly startled.

No wonder Immortal Master Li was so furiously enraged; the root cause was here.

“No, absolutely not, I swear to heaven!”

Seeing Long Wuhen’s adamant denial, a look of doubt emerged in Li Chen’s eyes.

At this moment, panic visibly surfaced on the face of Long the Third.

With a flick of his fingers, Li Chen shattered Long the Third’s knee caps, causing him to fall to the ground with a “thud”.

“Do you have something to say?”

Long the Third’s face turned red, and he stammered without being able to utter a complete sentence.

How clever was Long Wuhen?

He instantly understood what had happened.

Unable to contain his anger, he stepped forward and shouted sternly, “Old Third, was it you who harmed Immortal Master Li’s family?”

“Big brother, I…”

Long Wuhen, filled with righteous indignation, exclaimed, “Old Third, have you lost your mind?

Our Long family was almost ruined by your actions!”

Long the Third, realizing that his misdeeds had been exposed and terrified, hastily kowtowed begging for mercy.

“Big brother, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong.

Please forgive me this time, forgive me this time!”

Long Wuhen, his eyes filled with sorrow, said, “Old Third, it’s too late now, no one can save you.

Go and atone to our father!”

Before the words fell, he lifted his palm and heavily struck the top of the skull on Old Three’s life gate.

“Phut!”

Blood spurted from Long the Third as his eyes bulged, and he fell headfirst into a pool of blood.

After killing Long the Third with a palm strike, Long Wuhen knelt before Li Chen to admit his guilt.

“Immortal Master Li, the fault was initially on our Long Family.

I am willing to atone with my blood, and I hope Immortal Master Li could show mercy and spare our Long Family a way out!”

“Family Head!”

“Big brother!”

Chen Buyi, Long Wujiang, and others seeing Long Wuhen willing to die to atone, cried out in alarm.

Li Chen remained unchanged and did not say a word, simply watching them quietly.

“Second brother, Old Four, Think Tank, only by my death as the Family Head can we appease Immortal Master Li’s anger, do not say more.

After my death, I entrust you to take good care of Xiaoting and her daughter!”

After saying these last words, he concentrated a mass of True Yuan in his palm and violently struck his own top of the skull.

However, the expected gruesome scene of brain matter exploding did not occur.

Li Chen lightly intercepted Long Wuhen with a palm.

Long Wuhen looked at Li Chen, surprised and puzzled about what he was up to.

Li Chen gave him a slight smile and said, “Long Family Master, I am naturally inclined to killing.

Now that the real culprit has been punished, there’s no need for further carnage!”

Hearing that Li Chen was considering sparing their Long Family, Long Wuhen was overjoyed.

“Immortal Master Li, you are willing to spare our Long Family?”

Li Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, and lightly said, “I now give you two options to choose from: first, become dogs under my command; second, have your entire clan slaughtered.

Choose for yourself!”

Although long before Li Chen entered, Long Wuhen had discussed with Think Tank Chen Buyi and others, and had already prepared to submit to Li Chen.

But hearing it firsthand, that Li Chen wanted them, the Long Family, to become his dogs, still caused a piercing pain in their hearts.

Since the mid-Qing Dynasty, the seven generations of ancestors of the Long Family had worked tirelessly, hence firmly establishing themselves in the Jiangnan area, achieving the foundation of a century-old hegemony.

Now, in a single moment, it had all toppled, reduced to being dogs under another’s command.

How tragically pitiful, how lamentable!

Long Wuhen forcefully calmed his mind and knelt to the ground in respect.

“We are willing to honor Immortal Master Li as our master, and swear to be his dogs!”

Seeing this, Long Wujiang, Chen Buyi, and others also knelt down successively, shouting in unison.

“We are willing to honor Immortal Master Li as our master, and swear to be his dogs!”

Li Chen originally thought that subjugating the Long Family would require quite an effort.

However, he didn’t expect things to progress so smoothly, feeling extremely elated and proud.

“Alright, all of you, rise!”

While speaking, Li Chen handed a pill into Long Wuhen’s palm.

Long Wuhen looked at the pill in his hand, somewhat baffled.

“Immortal Master Li, what is this?”

“Gathering Peak Pill, take it and your injuries will heal by tonight!”

Hearing the words “Gathering Peak Pill,” Long Wuhen was greatly shocked.

Gongzi Yuu had once spent a hundred billion to secure one.

To think that Immortal Master Li gave such Divine Medicine to him for healing, it was simply unimaginable!

“Immortal Master Li, this is too precious, I dare not accept!”

“What’s there to dare not accept?

I give it to you, so take it.

Besides, I have some tasks for you.

If you delay my important matters with your damaged body, can you bear that responsibility?”

Long Wuhen, scolded by Li Chen, was sweating profusely, quickly bowing deeply in respect.

“Please give your instructions, Immortal Master Li.

Even if it means walking through fire and boiling water, Wuhen will not shirk!”

Li Chen waved his hand and said, “There’s no need for you to walk through fire and boiling water.

You want the Life Spirit Spring, right?

I can give it to you now!”

Hearing Li Chen mention the “Life Spirit Spring,” Long Wuhen’s heart skipped a beat, a chill rushing up his spine, daring not to utter another word.

He was terrified that one careless mistake could anger this unpredictable Killing God before him and bring disaster upon the Long Family.

“The Long Family controls half of Huaxia’s pharmaceutical market.

I plan to consign the Life Spirit Spring to you.

However, I must clarify beforehand that I want ninety percent of the profit.

Do you agree?”

Hearing this, Long Wuhen finally let out a sigh of relief.

Hurriedly wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he said repeatedly: “Good, I will arrange it right away!”

Seeing Long Wuhen’s agreement, Li Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Actually, even if he demanded all the profits, Long Wuhen and the others wouldn’t dare to object.

However, this wasn’t a sustainable strategy.

Having his fill while letting his subordinates starve isn’t suitable.

He must leave some for them to sustain their loyalty.

Using both carrot and stick, this is truly the master strategy to manage subordinates.

Having dealt with Long Wuhen, Li Chen then turned his attention to Chen Buyi.

“So you are Little Zhuge, Chen Buyi?”

Considering himself extremely clever, Chen Buyi was still full of trepidation in front of Li Chen.

“Chen Buyi has seen Immortal Master Li!”

Li Chen glanced at him, smiling faintly: “Your Martial Arts talent is good, but it’s a pity that your foundation is damaged; it’s hard for you to enter the Grandmaster Realm in this lifetime!”

Hearing Li Chen accurately describe his condition, Chen Buyi was taken aback.

He forcefully calmed his mind and said; “Seven years ago, when I attempted to break into the Grandmaster Realm, I was ambushed by a powerful enemy, causing severe foundational damage, and hence dashed all hopes for the Grandmaster Realm in this lifetime!”

Li Chen shook his head, smiling: “That’s because you haven’t met me yet.

Think Tank, do you believe that by the end of this year, you can break through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate and enter the Grandmaster Realm?”

Even the usually calm and composed Chen Buyi, hearing that there still might be a chance to break through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate and attain innate power, was shocked.

Never reaching the Grandmaster Realm was his greatest heartache.

Li Chen took out a white porcelain jade bottle and threw it to Chen Buyi, saying: “These are Marrow Cleansing Pills, take one on the first and fifteenth day of each month.

After three consecutive months, it will help you repair your damaged foundation!”

Chen Buyi, not expecting Li Chen to give him such Divine Medicine, was flabbergasted, continuously bowing deeply in gratitude.

Li Chen waved his hand and said: “Since you are my dogs, don’t disgrace me when you’re out there.

But remember one thing, just as I can save you, I can also kill you.

I hope you all act wisely and cherish your actions!”

After finishing his words, he raised his hand and with a palm strike, shattered the rockery in the courtyard.

Afterwards, Li Chen clapped his hands, laughed heartily, and walked out, leaving Long Wuhen, Chen Buyi, and others disheveled in the cold wind.
