Chapter 88: The Frightened Evil King When the Evil King entered the Chu family’s territory and saw that the guards of the Chu family were all at the profound realm, he felt that he had been overly cautious.

How could a mere Chu family stand up to an Evil King like him?

So what if there was an ambush? Who would be able to stop him?

If Qin Keyun, the empress, personally made a move, he would be no match for her. Still, if he wanted to escape, the other party would not be able to stop him.

With this thought in mind, the Evil King stopped hiding himself. Instead, he swaggered out.

He headed in the straight toward the Chu family’s ancestral residence.

Although he was no longer overly cautious, the Evil King did not want to be exposed in advance. After all, if others knew that the Evil King had visited the Chu family, but the Chu family had emerged unharmed, people would know that there was something wrong with the Chu family.

As such, even though the Evil King was swaggering forward, the guards still did not notice him.

There was a small courtyard in front of him.

The Evil King only took a brief glance at it before ignoring it. He planned to continue moving forward.

However, his body moved, and the scene before his eyes changed.

He suddenly appeared inside a small courtyard.

There was a handsome young man in front of him who was sitting leisurely on a reclining chair.

Beside the young man was a beautiful woman dressed as a servant who was elegantly making tea.

Gulp!

The Evil King swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He felt his scalp go numb and his muscles instantly tensed up.

At this moment, he was extremely nervous!

Just a moment ago, he had been outside the courtyard preparing to go to the Chu family’s ancestral residence to control the family head and thereby secretly control the entire Chu family.

However, he had suddenly appeared inside this courtyard in the blink of an eye.

The crux of the matter was that he did not even know how he ended up inside the courtyard.

The Chu family was extremely terrifying!

At this moment, cold sweat ran down the Evil King’s back and he felt extremely regretful. Why did he decide to take control of the Chu family?

It was all that damn Kun Wu’s fault!

That’s right, it was him who had messed up his mood and caused him to become impatient and irritable. That was why he hot-headedly ran over to the Chu family.

Looking at the young man on the reclining chair, the Evil King’s body tensed up and he stood ramrod straight.

Who was he?

Was he Chu Qiuluo?

The Evil King remembered the name of the outstanding talent of the Chu family who had once dominated the Qin Kingdom and became famous throughout the Southern Region.

On second thought, the Evil King felt that something was amiss.

Chu Qiuluo was indeed talented, but how old was he? How could he be so powerful?

No matter how monstrous he was, he would at best have reached the half-step Emperor realm.

Besides, did Chu Qiuluo and his wife not go missing?

Were they not only at the peak of the void realm before they went missing?

Given the Great Qian Dynasty’s way of doing things, Chu Qiuluo would have had to go to the Great Qian Dynasty if he wanted to break through to the unity realm.

Therefore, the person in front of him was definitely not Chu Qiuluo.

He looked young, but was he actually an old monster?

The Evil King was a little flustered.

Escape?

He immediately dispelled this thought. The other party had silently moved him, a half-step Emperor realm, into the courtyard.

No matter what, he would not be able to escape from the other party’s palm.

Chu Xuan yawned. He glanced at the frightened Evil King and said, “Evil King?”

The Evil King’s body trembled.

‘What should I do? Should I beg for mercy?’

‘I’m the Evil King. Wouldn’t it be too embarrassing for him to beg for mercy?’

Then again, it was not really embarrassing to beg for mercy from an old monster.

In an instant, the Evil King’s thoughts changed rapidly. He bowed and said, “Yes, yes, I pay my respects to Senior!”

“Why are you here?”

“I’m here to pay a visit to the head of the Chu family,” The Evil King hurriedly lied.

Chu Xuan rolled his eyes. The Great Evil King of the evil imperial court secretly came to visit that old man Chu Tianming in the middle of the night?

Who was he trying to fool?

“Hmph!”

Chu Xuan only coldly harrumphed.

The Evil King was so frightened that his body trembled, and he hurriedly said, “This Junior did not know his place and wanted to control the Chu family. Please spare my life, Senior!”

His dignity was important, but not as important as his life.

After all, he had already been humiliated again and again, making him the most undignified of all the evil kings in history.

As such, he did not mind losing a little bit more dignity.

The Evil King consoled himself.

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before asking, “Do you know about the Great Qin Emperor?”

The evil imperial court had existed for a long time, perhaps even before the great war with the demons.

However, it had only truly risen to prominence after the great war.

Even the Great Qian Dynasty could not suppress its rise, and was instead suppressed by it. From this, one could tell how extraordinary the evil imperial court was.

As the current Evil King and one of the top experts in the Southern Region, he definitely knew a lot of secrets.

The Evil King was startled. He did not know why the other party asked this question.

“I don’t know much.”

“Tell me what you know.”

“Yes, yes.”

The Evil King nodded and sorted out his thoughts before saying, “I once read in an ancient book that the Great Qin Emperor unified the Southern Region and established the Great Qin Empire, which was the largest empire in the Northern Zone...”

Chu Xuan was surprised. He had thought that the Evil King would know more, but the other party did not seem to know much. The Evil King only knew that the Great Qin Emperor had unified the Southern Region, and had founded the largest empire in the Northern Zone.

After all, the other regions in the Northern Zone had not been unified yet, so now that the Southern Region had been unified, the Great Qin Empire naturally became the largest empire in the Northern Zone.

Since he could not get too much information about the Great Qin Emperor, Chu Xuan changed his focus, “How much do you know about the Asura Ancient Land?”

“Not much.”

The Evil King panicked. He did not know much about these ancient secrets.

What if the other party felt that he was worthless and slapped him to death?

“Speak.”

“Yes, yes.”

Cold sweat dripped down the Evil King’s forehead. He did not dare to raise his hand to wipe it away and maintained his bowed posture, not even daring to take a deep breath.

“Rumor has it that the Asura Ancient Land was the battlefield where the demon race invaded the Southern Region and started a war.”

“Because those who participated in the war were all Heaven realm experts, the battle became so intense that the ley lines of the Southern Region collapsed, thereby damaging the laws of Heaven and Earth. There is also news that the Asura Ancient Land will open in twenty to thirty years.”

After saying that, the Evil King glanced at Chu Xuan nervously.

“What other experts does the evil imperial court have?”

Chu Xuan pondered. Which expert had founded the evil imperial court?

Currently, the top forces in the Southern Region all had backers behind them. They either had the support of other forces, or they had prepared a scheme for the Asura Ancient Land.

Some of them were the branches of major forces that had left the Southern Region to rebuild their factions.

“Apart from me, there’s also my uncle. However, he’s always in closed-door cultivation.”

The Evil King hesitated for a moment but, in the end, he chose to answer honestly.

Given the other party’s terrifying strength, if he really wanted to destroy the evil imperial court, they would not be able to even mount a resistance. As such, he might as well answer honestly.

Whether he lived or died depended completely on luck.

Chu Xuan understood. His uncle was the previous evil king, and the strongest expert of the evil imperial court.

There were even rumors circulating in the outside world that he had successfully broken through to the Emperor realm through some kind of secret technique.

After asking all those questions, Chu Xuan waved his hand, and a stream of energy entered the Evil King’s body.

At the same time, he planted a soul seal on the Evil king.

Controlling the Evil King of the evil imperial court could come in handy some time.

“Go back and reorganize the evil imperial court.”

Chu Xuan waved his hand.

“Yes, yes, my Lord,” The Evil King said respectfully.

He was panicking inside. Had he been controlled just like that?

What was even sadder was that he had still retained his mental clarity and consciousness, but was unable to resist Chu Xuan’s will.

Moreover, he was actually filled with respect and reverence toward this old monster before him. He was completely unable to muster even the slightest thought of opposing him.

The Evil King would much rather have lost his self-consciousness than have a clear mind. He was deeply aware that he was being controlled, yet was unable to resist. He was being constantly tormented by this contradiction.
