The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 643 The Wen Family’s Ancestor

The Wen Family had been bustling for a few more days. Not only was it celebrating the birth of a new life, but it was also a celebration that the Wen Family had made friends with an expert in the Gold Immortal Realm.

If Wen An went out now, he could even talk with those big forces, with his back straight.

On this day, Chu Xun had recovered eighty percent of his cultivation. He stopped cultivating, sat at the stone table, and he was in a daze. He was thinking about how to return to the earth.

Since the Assembly of Immortals had sent those Chosen Ones to the earth, Chu Xun would be able to go back.

“Jing Hong would give birth to our child in four months. I’m really looking forward to that day. My parents should be happier than me, right?”

He was lost in various fancies and conjectures.

It must have consumed countless resources for the four top forces to send those Chosen Ones to the earth. Since he had to go back, he had to find a way to get into the four forces.

Wen Ruyi came. He’d been visiting Chu Xun often these past few days, but there was a Forbidden Area Installation at the door. Every time he came, he would wander around for a bit before leaving. He didn’t expect the Forbidden Area Installation at the door to disappear today. When he saw Chu Xun in the yard, he waved his hand happily and said, “Big Brother.”

Chu Xun waved him over.

“What can I do for you?” Chu Xun asked.

Wen Ruyi shook his head. “I was afraid you would feel bored if you lived here alone, so I came to see you.”

Since they had learned that Chu Xun was an expert in the Gold Immortal Realm, the people of the Wen Family would tiptoe when they passed by the courtyard for fear of disturbing Chu Xun’s cultivation.

Unsummoned, no one dared disturb Chu Xun. Wen Ruyi was young and didn’t have so many scruples.

“Ruyi, where’s your father?” Chu Xun thought he was not familiar with the terrain of the Assembly of Immortals, so he wanted to get a map of it first.

“He is in the ancestral shrine. On this day of every month, he will clean up the shrine with his own hands.”

“Can you take me to him?”

Wen Ruyi nodded and bounced forward to lead the way.

The ancestral shrine was the place to worship the ancestors of the Wen Family, and it had an independent courtyard.

On this day of every month, the people in charge of the ancestral shrine would leave, leaving Wen An alone to clean the place.

Generally speaking, a master would hand over cleaning to servants. It was unexpected that Wen An was so devout. He cleaned the shrine personally every month, showing this person had a good temperament.

“Dad...” Wen Ruyi stood at the door of the ancestral shrine and called out.

“Naughty boy, how many times have I told you? This is the resting place of our ancestors. Don’t make noise here.” Wen An’s reproachful voice came out.

“Big Brother is here,” Wen Ruyi whispered, drawing back his neck.

Wen An walked out in a hurry, forgetting to put down the rag in his hand. When he saw Chu Xun, he bowed hurriedly and said, “Nice to meet you, Senior Liu.”

“You are too polite. I asked Ruyi to bring me here. You can blame me if you want,” Chu Xun said, waving his hand.

“I don’t dare to.” Wen An bent his waist and said reverently. How dare he blame an expert in the Gold Immortal Realm? Was he courting death?

“I need to talk with you,” Chu Xun said.

“Please speak ahead.”

Wen An waited for a while, but Chu Xun didn’t speak. He looked up carefully and saw Chu Xun looking into the ancestral shrine.

Chu Xun’s eyes were a little shocked. He stood at the door and saw a few portraits and memorial tablets in the ancestral shrine just now.

He stepped inside and stared at a portrait for a long time.

“No wonder...” Chu Xun looked back at Wen Ruyi and said, “No wonder I feel that you are familiar. Are you his descendant?”

Although the portraits on the wall were old, they were well preserved. The portraits looked very clear, and one of the portraits was that of Wen Yuchen. He was guarding the exit of the Subterranean Devils Clan.

At first, he had suspected that the Wen Family was Wen Yuchen’s family. However, the Wen Family was so weak that he overthrew the idea.

Chu Xun looked at Wen An and said, “I didn’t expect you to be Wen Yuchen’s descendants.”

Wen An was a little confused. He didn’t know who Wen Yuchen was.

Chu Xun pointed at the portrait and said, “His name is Wen Yuchen. He should be the Elder Ancestor of your Wen Family.”

“Senior, do you know our ancestor?” Wen An couldn’t believe it. Chu Xun was so young. How could he know the people of the Wen Family thousands of years ago?

“Of course I do,” Chu Xun nodded and said.

Wen An’s eyes instantly lit up. Maybe his ancestor, Wen Yuchen, was still alive.

Chu Xun observed his expression and chuckled. “Yes, he is still alive.”

After confirming his thoughts, Wen An was shocked. His face was full of disbelief. “Is the Elder Ancestor of our Wen Family a million years ago still alive?”

“I also know that the Wen Family was brilliant and was once among the four great forces. However, it was replaced by the Wang Family now. I originally thought your family would have been annihilated a long time ago and didn’t expect that you are hiding here.”

Wen An was so shocked that he couldn’t speak. This was a secret of the Wen Family. Except for him, no one else knew about it.

“I didn’t expect that historical one of the top forces of the Assembly of Immortals is living in such a small city. I’m afraid Wen Yuchen will go crazy if he knows that,” Chu Xun sighed softly.

In fact, he was a little happy in his heart. The Wen Family had declined to such an extent, and Wen Yuchen had guarded the sealed land of the Subterranean Devils Clan for millions of years. His hatred was enough to burn half of the sky of the Immortal Domain.

“Ruyi, summon the other presbyters to come here quickly. Anyone who dares to be late will be expelled from the Wen Family.” Wen An was truly too excited. He never imagined that their ancestor was still alive.

“Are these people reliable?” Chu Xun asked.

“They are all the most intimate family members of the Wen Family. With the same bloodline, they are absolutely reliable,” Wen An said respectfully.

Wen Ruyi answered and ran off.

It did not take long for the presbyters of the Wen Family to rush over. Something serious must have happened. Otherwise, the master couldn’t say that.

Seeing that Chu Xun was also there, the presbyters quickly saluted.

“Don’t be too polite.” Chu Xun waved his hand.

“Master, why did you summon us here?” One of the presbyters asked.

Wen An took a deep breath and said to Wen Ruyi, “Ruyi, guard at the door. Don’t let anyone else in.”

“There is no need to do that,” Chu Xun said.

Wen An was stunned and then nodded. With Chu Xun here, who would dare to eavesdrop?

“Master, what happened?”

Wen An’s expression was solemn, but he was still a little excited. In a trembling voice, he said, “Senior Liu said that our Wen Family’s Ancestor Wen Yuchen is still alive.”

The presbyters looked at each other. “Who is Wen Yuchen?”

Wen An pointed at the portrait and told them.

The presbyters were stunned. According to the ordering of the portraits, Wen Yuchen was a figure tens of millions of years ago. How could he still be alive? Was that possible?

Ignoring the reactions of the presbyters, Wen An shouted excitedly in a low voice, “The heaven has blessed our Wen Family. I didn’t expect our Elder Ancestor to be alive.”

“Is the Elder Ancestor is really alive?” A presbyter was so excited that he couldn’t control himself.

“What Senior Liu said can’t be false,” Wen An said solemnly.

The presbyter fell to his knees. “Senior Liu, I don’t doubt your words. It’s just unbelievable.”

Chu Xun let him stand up and said with a smile, “I understand.”

With different levels of cultivation and realms, their horizons were naturally different. These people were only in the Human King Realm. It was unimaginable for them to know that some people could live so long.

“Senior Liu, please tell us where our ancestor is.” Wen An knelt on the ground.

Chu Xun replied, “He is temporarily trapped and can’t come back yet, but I will find a way to save him when I go back.”

The expressions of Wen An and the others dimmed.

“Don’t worry. It won’t take long for him to come back,” Chu Xun said. Wen Yuchen was in the High Immortal Realm. If he knew the current situation of the Wen Family, he would go crazy. At that time, the Assembly of Immortals would suffer a lot.

“Big Brother, is our ancestor powerful?” Wen Ruyi asked curiously.

Chu Xun thought for a moment and said, “Yes.”

“How powerful is he? Is he as powerful as you?”

“He’s more powerful than me.”

“Senior Liu, may I ask what cultivation level is our ancestor currently at?” A presbyter carefully asked.

“He is in the High Immortal Realm,” Chu Xun said.

Wen An and the others stiffened while their breathing quickened. He was in the High Immortal Realm. It was so terrifying.

“Heaven has blessed our Wen Family. Haha...” Wen An laughed hysterically, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Chu Xun was silent. The strongest one of the Wen Family was Wen An, who was only a sixth-grade Human King. It could be imagined how difficult it was for the Wen Family to survive for tens of millions of years.

“Tell me about the current situation of the Wen Family,” Chu Xun said.

Wen An was silent for a while and spoke slowly...

After saying that, the presbyters of the Wen Family widened their eyes, and their eyes turned red. They didn’t know about the past stories of their family until Wen An told them why the Wen Family took root in Tong’an City.

The pedigree of the Wen Family recorded a few secret histories, including how the Wen Family became one of the four top forces, how the family declined in the end, how they evaded the pursuit for generations, and so on.

Of course, only Wen An knew about this family pedigree. Other people thought that their family originated from Tong’an City. They didn’t know about the glory of the Wen Family back then.

Thousands of years ago, the Wen Family moved to Tong’an City and stayed here. The last households of the family only told the next ones to protect the current Wen Family. Maybe they felt that it was hopeless to revenge and only wanted to keep the family moving on. Therefore, the Wen Family would not completely disappear.

No one knew which householder stopped to mention taking revenge. They knew that it was an idiot’s daydream to rely on the current Wen Family to take revenge.

Although Wen An knew these secret histories, he was powerless even if he wanted to. What could he do? The Wen Family was no match for the four top families at all. The other party could easily slaughter all the people of the Wen Family with any expert of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Therefore, he could only bury this matter firmly in his heart and make the Wen Family continue. As for taking revenge, he didn’t even dare to think about it.

However, it was different now. Their Wen Family still had an ancestor alive. Hatred was growing in their hearts.

“Senior Liu, please tell us where our ancestor is trapped. We are willing to do anything to save him,” Wen An said.

Chu Xun sneered and said, “He is not on this planet. Although Wen Yuchen is in the High Immortal Realm, he is still trapped. What can you do to save him? Are you counting death?”

Wen An and the others remained silent. Although Chu Xun’s words were harsh, they were true.

“But we have to do something, don’t we?” Wen An asked.

“What you have to do is to protect yourselves. Stay alive until Wen Yuchen comes back. As for the revenge, it’s not up to you. When he comes back, he will have his own plans,” Chu Xun said.
