I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible

Chapter 22: Subduing Zhang Kui

Pa!

Zhang Kui knelt in front of Chu Xuan.

“It’s you?!”

Looking at Chu Xuan who was sitting on the reclining chair, Zhang Kui could not believe his eyes. Was this young man the one who attacked just now?

He looked a little like Chu Qiuluo.

Was he not Chu Qiuluo’s useless son?

Was such a young unity realm expert a useless person?

Beside him, Dong Qian’s face was swollen and he had fainted on the ground.

On his head, there was a silly and cute-looking cat.

The moment Dong Qian entered the courtyard, he felt his shoulder weighed down as something jumped onto his shoulder.

He was so scared that his hair stood on end. Before he could react, he felt a small, fleshy paw slap his face repeatedly at an extremely fast speed.

It slapped both sides of his face.

He fell to the ground in a daze.

He did not dare to move. He did not even dare to activate the spatial escape bead.

He cursed Zhang Kui in his heart. He just had to insist on breaking into the Chu family’s territory. Was he going to die now?

Chu Xuan sighed gloomily and asked, “Are you cultists all mentally ill? Why do you insist on targeting me? Is it because my father is Chu Qiuluo?”

Zhang Kui wanted to cry, but had no tears to do so. Under normal circumstances, he would naturally not have paid any attention to a piece of trash among the direct descendants of the Chu family.

However, his father was Chu Qiu Luo, which was why it was different.

D*mn it, your father was already a monstrous expert, and now his son is even more ridiculous.

“What status do you have in the cult? Ninth level of the void realm, and your strength isn’t bad either...”

Chu Xuan asked curiously.

A ninth-level void realm martial artist was considered a true peak expert in the Qin Kingdom, and this person ought to be an important figure in the cult.

If he killed him, the cult would surely send an even stronger expert after they discovered his demise.

How troublesome!

He only wanted to stay in seclusion and become stronger peacefully, yet why was there so much nonsense hindering him from doing so?

Zhang Kui felt that he ought to put up a strong front rather than lower his head to a young man, as doing so would be beneath his dignity.

Suddenly, he saw a small tree swiftly crawling over using its roots.

It seemed to indicate that it was very interested in him.

He panicked.

How could a tree that could walk be simple?

“I’m Zhang Kui, the first vice sect leader of the Qin Kingdom’s cult!”

Chu Xuan’s eyes lit up. “His status isn’t low at all.”

He formed a plan in his heart and decided to control Zhang Kui, the first vice sect leader. With his status in the cult, he could naturally order the cult to stop harassing him.

Moreover, with him acting as a high-level spy in the cult, if the evil imperial court made any moves, he would be able to be notified in advance.

“Don’t be afraid. I, Chu Xuan, wouldn’t even kill a chicken, so why would I kill you?”

Zhang Kui’s body trembled, and his heart became even more panicked. Anyone who said such words was not a good person.

He still remembered that Chu Qiuluo had said something similar back then but, in the blink of an eye, he had massacred dozens of cultists.

His son was the same.

His life was at stake here!

Zhang Kui broke out in cold sweat. He wanted to put up a desperate struggle, but he could not move at all.

Cultists were brutal, but not all of them were unafraid of death. Zhang Kui happened to be one who was afraid of death.

“The first vice sect leader might be a valuable asset. It would be a pity to kill him,” Chu Xuan said to himself.

Dong Qian, who was pretending to be unconscious, suddenly trembled when he heard that Zhang Kui, the vice sect leader, was valuable and that it would be a pity to kill him. In that case, would he be the one killed instead?

“Young Master Chu, Young Master Chu, I am the branch leader of the cult in Chu County. I am also someone of value.”

He hurriedly opened his mouth to speak.

His cowardly actions left Chu Xuan speechless.

Zhang Kui cursed in his heart. This spineless thing... No wonder the Chu County branch had suffered such heavy losses.

Chu Xuan directly used the soul seed seal to control the two people.

Zhang Kui and Dong Qian immediately turned respectful. Deep in their hearts, they were afraid, but they could not even form any thoughts of resistance or disobedience.

From this moment on, they were Chu Xuan’s loyal servants; the kind that would never betray him.

After understanding the purpose behind Zhang Kui and Dong Qian’s incursion, Chu Xuan was speechless. Were it not for him, the Chu family would have been thrown into chaos countless times.

“Please calm your cult members down. Don’t keep sending people over to disturb the Chu family, got it?”

“Yes, yes, master. I will definitely restrain the cult members. If anyone disobeys the order, I will kill them!”

Zhang Kui’s speech was accompanied by awe-inspiring killing intent.

“You are the first vice sect leader. Work hard and strive to become the sect leader of the cult in the Qin Kingdom.”

The best way to resolve the problem of the cult’s harassment was naturally to control the cult itself.

Zhang Kui was the first vice sect leader and, under the right circumstances, had the chance to become the sect leader.

However, the cult was also divided into factions. It would not be easy for Zhang Kui to become the sect leader just because he wanted to.

One had to know that the sect leader of the cult in a country would have the support of the experts of the evil imperial court behind him.

If Zhang Kui wanted to become the sect leader, he had to obtain the support of the experts of the evil imperial court as well as defeat the current sect leader. Only then would he be able to replace the sect leader.

Chu Xuan was not in a hurry. With Zhang Kui’s current position as the first vice sect leader, he was already capable of doing many things. The operation against the Chu family could be temporarily brought to an end.

As long as he had enough time to develop in seclusion, when he broke through to the emperor realm, Chu Xuan would not be afraid of even the evil king of the evil imperial court coming to attack him.

There was no emperor realm expert in the Southern Region!

“How much do you know about Black Moon Tower?”

Chu Xuan paid more attention to Black Moon Tower. They were all over the South Region and had a wide network of businesses and clients. They were not afraid of any force in the Southern Region either.

It could even be said that they were the strongest force in the Southern Region.

“Black Moon Tower can be found almost everywhere. Even our cult’s secret operations cannot be hidden from them. It is very likely that Black Moon Tower has a treasured artifact that can spy on others and obtain intelligence!” Zhang Kui said respectfully.

He was also very wary of Black Moon Tower.

No matter how careful the cult was, as long as they stayed in a certain place for a little too long, they would be discovered by Black Moon Tower.

“Moreover, it is said that the strongest person in the Qin Kingdom is not the one from the Qin royal family, but rather a mysterious expert from the branch of Black Moon Tower in the Qin Kingdom.” Zhang Kui continued.

The power Black Moon Tower possessed was quite interesting.

They boasted about their credibility, but were also black-hearted.

Chu Xuan had some ideas and plans regarding Black Moon Tower. However, he first needed to be strong enough before he could even consider carrying them out.

At this moment, Chu Xuan sensed a powerful aura emerging from within the Chu family’s territory.

Chu Tianming!

It seemed that he had just rushed back in a hurry.

Did he receive information about Zhang Kui’s attack?

“You guys should go. You should know what to do, right? If I need you to do anything, I’ll let you know.”

Chu Xuan threw out two jade talismans.

“Take them. They can help you avoid detection. I want to see if Black Moon Tower can really detect everything.”

The two jade talismans were concealing talismans that he had received as a reward from the system.

“Thank you, master!”

Zhang Kui and Dong Qian were extremely shocked. These were actually jade talismans. In the entire Southern Region, jade talismans were mostly found in historical sites and were extremely rare.

Almost all of them were in the hands of the various top powers.

Although Black Moon Tower sold them, the price for one was astronomical and they could never have afforded one.

After activating the jade talismans, Zhang Kui and Dong Qian disappeared and silently left the Chu family’s territory.

Chu Xuan sensed that Chu Tianming was patrolling the ancestral grounds. He smiled and returned to his room to sleep.

After subduing Zhang Kui, he would at least be safe for a period of time. There would no longer be any heretics coming over to harass him.

“You did not leave seclusion but managed to subdue an expert from the heretic cult. You have been rewarded with ten years’ worth of cultivation as well as the Heavenly Golden Divine Eyes!”

Bang!

A surge of energy and comprehension filled his mind and body. Chu Xuan’s strength rose steadily.

Second level of the unity realm...

Third level of the unity realm...

His strength did not stop rising until he achieved the eighth level.
