Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor Chapter 530: 527: Beautiful Lady, You Have an Impending Bloo

Chapter 530: Chapter 527: Beautiful Lady, You Have an Impending Bloody Misfortune! [Third Release]

Li Chen eliminated Li Gui with a single stroke, a move that could be interpreted on two levels.

Being the scapegoat for the Chen Family, it was Li Gui who swaggered and deceived, having no ties with your Chen Family. Now that I have killed him, there’s no witness left to tell the tale.

Of course, the notoriously feared Immortal Master Li is no benevolent layman; he certainly wouldn’t repay evil with good, or engage in acts of kindness without reason.

Rumors have always circulated that he is a Killing God, soone who slaughters whole cities and exterminates clans just to vent his anger. Although this might be an exaggeration, the number of Dead Souls that have perished by his hand already tallies up to ten thousand. A hundred or so more would hardly make a difference.

Not to look too far, the current case of Li Gui is the best evidence of this.

Now that Li Chen has set his terms, if the Chen Family remains obstinate, then Li Gui serves as a grim premonition for them.

Chen Zhen, who could beco the Chen Family Master, naturally understood the implied ssage in Li Chen’s words.

He took another glance at Li Gui’s corpse, and after weighing the pros and cons, he respectfully said, “Immortal Master Li, please follow to the backyard, and I will fetch it for you right away!”

Seeing that Chen Zhen was so tactful, Li Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, “Very well, lead the way.”

Having said that, Li Chen drifted down.

The young girl Bai Jie, who had been mocking Li Chen just before, was now petrified with fear, her delicate body trembling. She no longer dared to look directly at Li Chen, terrified she might et the sa fate as Li Gui.

However, Li Chen didn’t even glance at her, completely ignoring her as he strode towards the backyard.

Chen Zhen invited Li Chen to take the seat of honor and asked him to wait a mont while he fetched the ancestral secret manual.

After Li Chen had drunk two cups of tea, Chen Zhen returned, holding a tattered ancient text in his hands.

“Immortal Master Li, this is our Chen Family’s ancestral ‘Demon Puppet Secret Technique.’ Please have a look!”

Li Chen nodded slightly, took the ancient text, and casually flipped through a few pages.

However, after only a cursory glance, his expression grew solemn.

“Chen Family Master, what is the aning of bringing out a duplicate with missing pages? Do you think you can deceive so easily?”

Chen Zhen trembled with fear and quickly explained, “Immortal Master Li, please calm your anger, and allow to explain!”

Seeing his deanor, Li Chen already knew there must be a backstory, so he raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.

“Immortal Master Li, long ago during the Northern Song period, my Chen Family ancestor had a battle with Master Jue Yuan from the Shaolin Temple at Phoenix Mountain. My ancestor was defeated, and the ‘Demon Puppet Secret Technique’ was taken by the Shaolin Temple. Our Chen Family only kept a duplicate.”

“And due to the long passage of ti and inadequate preservation, even this duplicate has beco incomplete!”

Listening to his story, Li Chen’s brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, “Are you saying that the complete ‘Demon Puppet Secret Technique’ is held within the Shaolin Temple?”

Chen Zhen nodded and replied, “Yes, exactly. The Eighteen Copper n of the Shaolin Temple were forged by Master Jue Yuan using this ‘Demon Puppet Secret Technique.'”

Li Chen nodded in realization, and said, “Alright, I understand!”

Seeing that Li Chen seed to believe his words, Chen Zhen felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted.

“Immortal Master Li, the night has fallen; why not stay at the Chen Family for a few days, allowing us to show so hospitality and treat you well?”

Li Chen shook his head and said, “No need, I have matters to attend to, perhaps another ti!”

Chen Zhen was still sowhat uneasy, fearing that Immortal Master Li might settle accounts in the autumn, so he gritted his teeth and said, “Immortal Master Li, I have another favor to ask.”

Li Chen stopped: “Speak.”

Chen Zhen gave a deep bow to Li Chen.

“My Chen Family is willing to join the Huaxia Alliance, and we hope for Immortal Master Li’s approval!”

Li Chen paused for a mont, then spoke indifferently, “This matter, you should send soone to discuss it with Long Wuhen.”

Hearing that Li Chen had granted permission, Chen Zhen felt as if the weight that had been hanging over him had finally been lifted.

“Thank you, Immortal Master Li!”

Li Chen didn’t pay any more attention to him and turned to walk towards the door.

It seems like I’ll have to make another trip to the Mount Songy Shaolin Temple.

Shaolin Temple is in the Central Plains, and to get there from Xiangxi, I must pass through Jiangnan.

Rembering that it had been two or three months since he last saw Ye Chuxue, Li Chen decided to return to the university first.

…

The next day at noon, Li Chen returned to Jiangnan University.

However, before he even entered, he saw Senior Brother ng Lang had set up a fortune-telling stall, with the words “Chinese Divine Calculation” written on it in big letters.

At that mont, he was gleaming at the handbag of a passing girl, which contained a box of sanitary pads.

“Beautiful lady, I see darkness in your brow and your gaze is lifeless. Upon calculating, you are at risk of a blood disaster within the month!”

The girl rolled her eyes and said, “Classmate, do I even need you to tell that? I have a ‘blood disaster’ every month, okay?”

With that said, she no longer paid any attention to ng Lang and walked away with swagger.

Li Chen approached with a slightly mocking smile and teased, “Senior Brother ng, when did you start playing the fortune-teller?”

Upon hearing Li Chen’s voice, ng Lang was stunned for a mont, then he shouted with surprise, “Are you Li Chen, the freshman from last year?”

“You are even more wayward than , not showing up for half a year. Our departnt head, Old Qiao, has been nearly driven mad looking for you!”

At this, Li Chen was taken aback and asked, “The departnt head? What does he want with ?”

ng Lang replied, “What does he want? You’re the only new student in the Archaeology Departnt. If he can’t find you before sumr break, the entire Archaeology Departnt could be dissolved!”

“Li Chen, if you have ti, you should go see Old Qiao. His entire family relies on this job for their livelihood. If the Archaeology Departnt is shut down by the school, he might as well smash his rice bowl!”

Li Chen nodded and said, “It’s that serious? Where’s Old Qiao now? I’ll go see him!”

“He’s probably in the office at Building No. 5, Old Qiao spends every day there reading. Co on, I’ll take you there!”

While speaking, ng Lang had already packed up his stall and stuffed it into his backpack.

…

The head of the Archaeology Departnt, nad Qiao Tianliang, was not yet fifty, pretty much completely bald, a true flat mountain top.

Archaeology has always been a niche major with virtually no market for it dostically. As a result, the number of students enrolling each year has been declining.

Last year was even more ridiculous, with only one new student nad Li Chen. Even more absurdly, this sole seedling was hardly ever present at the school.

A few days ago, he received a notice from the school administration that if there were no students in class again, they would dissolve the entire Archaeology Departnt.

This worried Director Qiao greatly, causing him to constantly pull at his hair. What little was left is practically gone now. Slap a few scars on him and put a Kasaya on, and no one would doubt that he was a monk.

“Director Qiao, May Day is almost upon us. What are you planning for your departnt’s evening gala this year?”

The speaker was the head of the Art Departnt, Liu Xin. Knowing full well that the Archaeology Departnt had no students, her question obviously carried a malicious intent.

Qiao Tianliang kept a straight face, not responding, and just buried his head in his books.

Liu Xin smacked her forehead, pretending to suddenly rember: “Ah, I almost forgot. Your Archaeology Departnt is just you, a solitary commander. With no one else, what May Day gala could you participate in!”

“Ah, it’s beyond why the school leadership keeps it around when the Archaeology Departnt has no new students, purely a waste of resources, and yet they haven’t dissolved it!”

Imdiately after, she stood up with a bragging tone, saying, “Director Qiao, you keep on reading slowly here. I’m going to the lecture hall to see how the students are rehearsing. Ah, there are just so many outstanding students, I have no idea who to pick for the May Day gala, it’s really troubling!”

However, before her words even ended, a loud male voice ca from the doorway.

“With here, the Archaeology Departnt’s flag will not fall!”
