Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 260 - 260 259 Miao Territory Ghost Sect Second Update

260: Chapter 259: Miao Territory Ghost Sect [Second Update] 260: Chapter 259: Miao Territory Ghost Sect [Second Update] Li Chen had no idea what was going through Zhao Yuqing’s mind, otherwise, he would have executed her on the spot to clear his little companion’s name.

“Elder Du, you won’t climb the knife mountain nor will you jump into the boiling oil.

I just want to ask you one thing, what on earth are you trying to do?”

Elder Du was so frightened that his lips turned white and he trembled uncontrollably, not daring to utter another word.

Li Chen stood with his hands behind his back, a light and breezy smile playing at the corner of his mouth: “Elder Du, you don’t need to be so afraid.

Rest assured, I won’t kill you…

for the time being!”

Hearing that Li Chen wouldn’t kill him, Elder Du quickly prostrated on the ground, knocking his head against the floor in thanks.

“Go back and deliver a message to your Sect Master and the Wu Family.

Tell them that soon, Immortal Master Li will come to pay a visit, so have them prepare their coffins and wait for their execution.

I’m the kind of person who takes lives without bothering to bury the dead!”

“Good, good, good, I’ll definitely deliver the message!”

Seeing that he really could live, Elder Du was ecstatic, continuously bowing in gratitude.

“Okay, you can scram!”

Li Chen waved his hand dismissively, as casually as one would shoo away a hen.

Elder Du ran like he had been granted amnesty.

He was just about to get into a car when Li Chen’s chilling voice came from behind.

“Can’t you understand human speech, or what’s wrong with you?

I said ‘scram’, with the tone of ‘gun’ in three syllables!”

Elder Du’s heart jumped, he looked down, bit his teeth fiercely, and then curled into a ball, rolling away in a very smooth fashion.

It was a long time before Zhao Yuqing dared to approach, sticking out her little tongue playfully and asking, “How come you’re so formidable?”

Li Chen gave her a look and said, “No choice, I’m just too handsome!”

Huh?

Too handsome?

Zhao Yuqing felt baffled; her little brain couldn’t understand what being good-looking had to do with being formidable.

As she racked her brains, pondering whether there was a proportional or geometric relationship between the two, Li Chen’s voice floated over on the breeze.

“Hey, what are you spacing out for?

If we don’t get going, it’ll be dark soon.”

Zhao Yuqing glanced over to see Li Chen had started the car and was waving at her.

At this sight, her heart leaped with joy, and she bounced over like a rabbit just released from its cage.

Zhao Yuqing got into the passenger seat and asked Li Chen, “Where are we going now?”

Li Chen, expressionless, said blandly, “First, I’ll take you to Yanzhou!”

Zhao Yuqing was taken aback, “Take me to Yanzhou for what?”

“The Miao Territory Yin Ghost Sect is after you.

Yanzhou is the Headquarters of the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance, and the Yin Ghost Sect wouldn’t dare to encroach on it lightly.

Your personal safety will be assured there!”

Hearing this, Zhao Yuqing couldn’t help but feel elated.

After all, he still cared about her safety.

But as soon as the thought of having to part with Li Chen crossed her mind, her bright eyes dimmed again.

“Can I follow you?”

Zhao Yuqing’s eyes, brimming with hopeful ripples, stared unblinkingly at Li Chen.

“No, I have important matters to attend to and can’t look after you!”

Li Chen’s unemotional words shattered all of Zhao Yuqing’s hopes.

“I don’t need you to look after me; just treat me as a maid.

Like a maid beside an aristocratic young master in ancient times, I can serve tea, fetch water, and I can even…

warm the bed for you!”

When she uttered the words “warm the bed”, Zhao Yuqing bit her lip, her face blushing with shyness, her eyes darting, intently watching Li Chen’s reaction.

Li Chen was startled and said, “It’s still summer now; it’s not cold, so there’s no need for anyone to warm the bed yet!”

“Hmph, such a blockhead!”

Seeing Li Chen being so lackluster, Zhao Yuqing couldn’t help but pout, her jade hands linking, murmuring a low, coy huff to herself.

However, this further confirmed her suspicion that Li Chen might really be gay.

With these thoughts, Zhao Yuqing’s eyes couldn’t help but sweep over Li Chen’s lower half subconsciously.

How could such a handsome man be gay, she thought; it would be such a waste!

Li Chen, at this moment, was entirely preoccupied with the current situation and didn’t notice Zhao Yuqing’s ever-so-curious gaze.

The overall situation was quite troubling for him.

Heavenly Net was like a lurking viper, one never knew when they might strike with a deadly bite.

And then there was the Great Jiangnan Alliance, making the loudest noise of all.

If Heavenly Net was a viper, then they were a lion of the grasslands.

But this lion, much like his Martial Arts Alliance, was still in a phase of integration.

On the surface, they appeared to confront each other, but everyone knew that the time for a decisive battle wasn’t right yet; neither side would foolishly disrupt this delicate balance.

Lastly, there were the Miao Territory Witch Family and the Yin Ghost Sect, whose overall strength wasn’t remotely comparable to the Great Jiangnan Alliance, let alone Heavenly Net.

But what worried Li Chen the most was them.

Heavenly Net, like vipers, would only strike when it’s a guaranteed kill.

They wouldn’t make a move without certainty.

The Great Jiangnan Alliance, like lions, wouldn’t pull any dirty tricks for now in order to occupy the so-called moral high ground.

But the Miao Territory Yin Ghost Sect was different; they had no moral constraints.

If one must describe them with an animal, it would undoubtedly be the hyena.

No, they were even more ruthless than hyenas.

Hyenas only scavenge, but the Yin Ghost Sect was adept in both open and covert schemes.

With their mastery of secret techniques, Gu poison, corpse refinement, and a never-ending array of tricks, they were difficult to guard against.
