Chapter 367 A Lunatic!

Chu Xun did not believe this strange-looking man.

This man looked at him with a mocking expression.

The two of them stared at each other silently.

“Oh,” the strange-looking man suddenly said as he adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable, “I forgot to tell you something.”

“Go ahead,” Chu Xun replied.

“This is the place where the Subterranean Devils Clan is sealed. It’s a wonderful space, or we may also call it a world.”

“I agree, as so many people have been made into lunatics here,” Chu Xun said indifferently.

The corner of the strange-looking man’s mouth twitched. He knew that Chu Xun was mocking him, but he didn’t care. He continued with a smile, “The wonderful part about this place is, when an hour passes here, a whole day passes outside.”

Chu Xun’s eyes widened in surprise, and he blurted out, “Highly-curved Space.”

The strange-looking man looked at Chu Xun in surprise. “You know about this?”

Highly-curved Space referred to a place where time moved very slowly. When Chu Xun was in the world of cultivation, he had once practiced in such a place, where time moved 10 times slower than the outside. That place was a beautiful and blessed land, while the place where he was now was as terrible as hell.

“Here is another thing that I forgot to tell you,” the strange-looking man said in a mysterious tone.

A bad feeling arose in Chu Xun’s heart.

“If I’m not mistaken, you only have a Spiritual Body. The Poison of Fire in this place is harmful to it,” the strange-looking man said with a taunting look and paused for a while before adding, “But if you’re able to refine this poison, you can strengthen both your body and soul. You know, sometimes, poison can work as medicine.”

“Damn you! What a load of bullshit!” Chu Xun almost cursed.

“Without a physical body, you’ll die in one month. Even if you manage to return to your physical body, you’ll become insane and moody.”

Chu Xun fell silent, with eyes fixed on the strange-looking man. It took him a while to respond. “What are you planning?”

The strange-looking man looked at Chu Xun in astonishment and said, “You’re really something. Even a man at the late stage of the Gold Immortal Realm can’t compare with you in terms of temperament.”

“A man in the Gold Immortal Realm is merely nobody, compared to the Immortal Emperor.” Chu Xun mocked inwardly.

“Just tell me what do you want me to do.” Chu Xun looked indifferent.

With Jing Hong protecting his physical body outside, he was not worried at all. He believed that Jing Hong would keep his body safe and sound even if he spent a month there and a few years passed correspondingly outside.

The strange-looking man cracked a smile. “Well, you became impatient just as I gave you a word of praise. I haven’t talked to anyone for thousands of years. I’m so bored. Talk with me.”

“What do you want to talk about?” Now that the matter had come to this point, Chu Xun was no longer in a hurry to leave.

“Tell me something about Earth. I haven’t breathed in fresh air for so long.”

Chu Xun told him what was happening on Earth frankly.

“Haven’t any people from the Assembly of Immortals appeared yet?”

Chu Xun shook his head, his eyes full of sarcasm.

“Those sons of b*tches.” The strange-looking man appeared excited as he spoke in an angry tone. “It seems they have given up the Earth.”

“Given up the Earth?” Chu Xun was puzzled.

“If I’m not wrong, the people of the Assembly of Immortals probably have found a new planet and moved there.” The strange-looking man sighed before continuing, “According to what you said, Earth had undergone a mutation, yet those so-called immortals didn’t show up to save you. They either wanted to watch you die or hadn’t heard the news.”

“Watch us die?” Chu Xun sneered. “Who do they think they are? Don’t talk like we would die without them.”

The strange-looking man suddenly laughed as he looked at Chu Xun. “You have guts. Few dare to rebuke the immortals like you. But, you can never deny their power with a few words of condemnation.”

Chu Xun didn’t reply but smiled icily. He didn’t give a damn whether the Assembly of Immortals was powerful or not.

“I hope the Assembly of Immortals wouldn’t covet this land, which had once been destroyed, otherwise...”

“Otherwise?” Chu Xun asked.

“Otherwise they would come back and take back control of this planet after it’s revitalized and full of opportunities,” the strange-looking man replied.

“Take back control? I’m afraid that’s an invasion,” Chu Xun said in a frosty tone with a purple glint in his eyes.

“The immortals used to dominate this planet,” the strange-looking man reminded him.

Chu Xun sneered, his entire body emanating a cold aura. “This planet now belongs to all human beings,” he said chillingly.

“No one can stop the immortals.”

“Really?” Chu Xun said with a sneer, “Well, they can try. If they dare to covet this planet, I’ll raze the entire Assembly of Immortals to the ground.”

At this moment, the strange-looking man was astonished by Chu Xun’s imposing manner and how he despised the immortals.

“I’m wondering which force it is that has trained you into such a valiant person.” The strange-looking man marveled at Chu Xun’s imposing manner. He was really impressed.

“Chu Mansion!” Chu Xun answered.

The strange-looking man pondered for a while before saying in confusion, “That seems to be a newly-established force; otherwise, I would have heard of it.”

“Of course, you don’t know about it,” Chu Xun said in a tone of disdain, “you’ve been trapped here for thousands of years. You have no idea what has happened outside.” He raised his head high as he continued, “Our Chu Mansion will be more famous than the Assembly of Immortals in 10 years.”

The strange-looking man stared at Chu Xun, not knowing what to say.

“You’re not guarding this place of your own free will, are you?” Chu Xun looked at the strange-looking man and asked.

The strange-looking man’s eyes glittered faintly with red light. Chu Xun’s hair stood on end after he saw this. “Did I hit the nail on the head? Hold on, don’t go demonized.”

Fortunately, the strange-looking man slowly calmed down.

“The four main clans of the Assembly of Immortals reached an agreement that each of them would guard this place for 500 years in turns. However, I’ve been guarding here for thousands of years,” the strange-looking man said, upset and aggrieved.

“It turns out that he was duped,” Chu Xun thought to himself.

“During the battle of the ancient times, the Earth was almost rendered deserted, hundreds of clans were sealed, and the Assembly of Immortals suffered heavy casualties. They thus decided to guard this sealed land in turns...” The strange-looking man muttered, “They abandoned us; my family abandoned me.”

Though the strange-looking man’s words were inarticulate, Chu Xun managed to make out what they meant. According to what he said, the four clans of the Assembly of Immortals would send people to guard the sealed place in turns, but they didn’t send anyone to replace him after he guarded this place for thousands of years.

Chu Xun’s expression suddenly changed. He drew backward quickly, but it was too late. He was caught by a streak of red light and pulled toward the strange-looking man.

“Buzz!”

The Hong Meng Immortal Qi erupted around Chu Xun. The two Golden Cores of white and purple started to run inside his body, about to shatter the red light.

To Chu Xun’s horror, the red light was so powerful that he couldn’t run his Golden Cores freely. Thus, he couldn’t break away either.

The next moment, he was dragged over to the strange-looking man.

He did not panic. He looked relaxed but was tense inside. If the strange-looking man was really going to hurt him, he would rather die by destroying his soul himself.

“What do you want from me?” Chu Xun asked coldly.

The strange-looking man grinned and replied, “I’ve been trapped here for thousands of years and I’m hungry. I want to swallow you.”

“I’m just in the spiritual form. What’s the point of eating me?” Chu Xun sneered.

The strange-looking man curled his lips and said, “You’re really boring. You have no sense of humor.”

“This is not funny at all.” Chu Xun’s tone was filled with anger. Aside from Emperor Ao, this strange-looking man was the first man that made him feel he was so weak. He realized that he had to improve his cultivation fast, or he would lose his dignity as an Immortal Emperor if he encountered such a man again.

“You know what? If I want to hurt you, I can do so just by lifting my finger,” the strange-looking man said in a mocking tone.

“Why are these old guys all as arrogant as Emperor Ao?” Chu Xun thought to himself in anger, and he said in a scornful tone, “You’re tied up, and you are still bragging. How interesting!”

“Bang!”

The strange-looking man sent Chu Xun flying by just waving his hands. Chu Xun’s soul couldn’t help trembling.

“Kid, to be honest, you’re really not good at chatting.” The strange-looking man squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Xun with disdain.

“Well, that’s my way of chatting. If you don’t want this conversation to go on, I can go,” Chu Xun snapped.

“Go then!” The strange-looking man gave him a sidelong glance.

Chu Xun stood up and whizzed towards the vortex as fast as lightning. After he reached the vortex, he turned back, looked at the strange-looking man, and laughed. “You old nut, enjoy yourself here.”

After that, he stepped into the vortex.

“Bang!”

A stream of white light rose from the vortex, and Chu Xun felt as if he had stamped on an iron plate. He let out a scream and was sent flying backward.

He lay on the ground, twitching all over. The white light that erupted from the vortex was so powerful that it almost shattered him into pieces. The armor that he made with his divine sense was shattered.

“Kid, how do you feel now?” The strange-looking man laughed wildly.

Chu Xun clambered to his feet and glared at the strange-looking man. He realized that this man had known he would be knocked back but didn’t say anything so he could watch him lose face.

“Do you know how to get out of here?” Chu Xun suppressed the urge to curse. Now was not the time to turn against him.

“Of course. I’ve been guarding here, so of course I know how to get out of here,” the strange-looking man replied.

“If you become demonized, will you unseal the Subterranean Devils Clan?” Chu Xun’s expression turned serious as he spoke.

The strange-looking man nodded. “Maybe.”

Chu Xun gave him a look of disdain upon hearing those words and said, “After becoming demonized, you’ll lose your mind. I’m afraid you won’t remember what happens after that.”

The strange-looking man froze but immediately said, “You’re very smart. Well, you can’t get out by yourself anyway. Why don’t you stay here and guard this place with me?”

Chu Xun was speechless. He started to worry that he would be trapped here if this man didn’t tell him how to get out, as this man was such a weirdo.

“You know, I only have my Spiritual Body. I’ll die in one month if I’m trapped here.” Chu Xun then added, “In the end, you will get nothing more than insane company.”

The strange-looking man nodded and said, “That’s right. However, it’s good to have company here even for just 29 days.”

“So you will let me go in 29 days?” Chu Xun asked.

The strange-looking man shook his head. “Is there any difference between staying here for 29 days and 30 days? At that time, you’ll become either a lunatic or a blockhead and will bring your family and friends big trouble after you return.”

Chu Xun was pissed off, but he managed to keep his composure. “What do you want from me exactly?”

“Beg me. Maybe I’ll let you go just like letting out a fart.” The strange-looking man gave Chu Xun a mocking look.

“Boom!”

Chu Xun’s eyes turned chilling as he raised his hand and released a stream of purple light.

The strange-looking man didn’t dodge at all. He met the purple light with his head and exploded it.

“More blows!” the strange-looking man said in a provoking tone.

Chu Xun was rendered speechless again. “He is totally a psycho, a masochist!” He decided to stop attacking and save some strength.

It made him worried that the Poison of Fire had already corroded his Spiritual Body. However, he had no place to retreat to since the air here was full of this poison. He had to find a way to get out of there.

Chu Xun entered the vortex again. “Since it’s a formation, there must be an Eye of Formation. At worst, I could just break the seal.”

His divine sense searched around, and a moment later, he found that the seal carried insulating and attacking power. It was like an Interlink Formation that could cut this place off from the rest of the world and launch attacks.

Chu Xun began to look for the Eye of Formation.

The strange-looking man stared at Chu Xun with a glint in his eyes. A while later, he couldn’t help but ask, “You still know formations?”

Chu Xun ignored him and focused on studying the seal in front of him.
