Chapter 1018 - 1041: Rescuing Jin Haotian
The speed of the Immortal Vulture was so fast that Chu Lin felt it was even quicker than his own instant teleportation. Seeing this immortal creature, he suddenly thought of the Golden Demon Vulture inside the Reincarnation Bracelet. He wondered how it and Xiaoying were doing now.
The Golden Demon Vulture had once told him that it would eventually evolve into a Golden-Winged Roc, whose speed was ranked first in the Immortal Realm. The Golden-Winged Roc was considered the king among the Bird Race, holding a status akin to that of the Phoenix Race.
No one in the Immortal Realm could use a Golden-Winged Roc as a mount. Having such an immortal creature as a mount would surely be prestigious. Chu Linfeng imagined how cool it would feel to soar through the skies of the Immortal Realm on the back of a Golden-Winged Roc one day.
Soon, Hanjiang City appeared before them, and Chu Linfeng said, "Flame, go into the Hanjiang City Lord’s Mansion and bring out a person named Jin Haotian. He’s my friend, so don’t harm him. Kill anyone who dares to stop you."
The Flame Immortal Monarch hesitated for a moment and said begrudgingly, "Why me? I don’t know him."
"Because you’re my underling. If I don’t send you, do I need to go myself?" Chu Linfeng laughed.
The Flame Immortal Monarch’s face turned dark, "Fine, fine! Why did I even recognize such a boss!" With that, he flickered and disappeared into the City Lord’s Mansion.
Chu Linfeng felt immensely satisfied seeing the disgruntled expression of the Flame Immortal Monarch, even more so than after a fierce battle with several women. Watching the Flame Immortal Monarch descend, he also flew down.
The Flame Immortal Monarch had a fiery temperament but was helpless in respecting Chu Linfeng. However, he treated others differently.
With the death of the Hanjiang City Lord, the mansion was in chaos. The elders and tributors had taken all valuable items, leaving only a few homeless servants. The mansion was now abandoned.
The Flame Immortal Monarch finally found an elderly man after searching for a long time. This old man was only an ordinary immortal. Seeing the Flame Immortal Monarch appear, he turned pale with fear.
"Old man, is there someone named Jin Haotian in this mansion? Where is he? Take me to him," the Flame Immortal Monarch demanded.
"I, I don’t know this person. Immortal Monarch, you should ask someone else," the old man said with a face full of terror, surprised that this middle-aged man was an Immortal Monarch.
The Flame Immortal Monarch was a bit irritated, but looking at the old man’s mere ordinary immortal status, he said, "Get lost! Useless, can’t even find one person!"
He then went directly into the main hall, but there he found a middle-aged man engaged in frantic activity with two naked women.
The Flame Immortal Monarch was instantly infuriated, hating such public displays of indecency. With a thought, the two women flew off the middle-aged man, their bodies suddenly exploding into a pool of blood.
The middle-aged man was shocked, staring terrified at the Flame Immortal Monarch and asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"
At this moment, the middle-aged man was also completely exposed. Seeing that phallic object still upright in front of him, the Flame Immortal Monarch waved his hand, sending out a Wind Blade. A scream like a pig being slaughtered erupted from the middle-aged man.
The phallic object was now detached from his body, lying quietly on the ground while blood gushed from him. Writhing in pain, he was trembling all over, his face turning pale.
"If you don’t want to die, tell me where Jin Haotian is. Otherwise, you won’t live another moment," the Flame Immortal Monarch threatened.
This middle-aged man was in the late-stage Golden Immortal Realm. After the City Lord’s Mansion descended into chaos, he entered the Soul Captivating Hall, finding two women who hadn’t left. He had long wanted to visit this hall and now wanted to indulge himself as much as possible.
Little did he know that this indulgence would almost cost him his life. Knowing that this guy was an Immortal Monarch, he was terrified and endured the pain to say:
"Jin Haotian is still locked in the dungeon of the City Lord’s Mansion. Whether he’s alive or dead, I don’t know."
"Where’s the dungeon? If anything happens to him, I’ll take your life," the Flame Immortal Monarch angrily said.
"The dungeon is in the underground chamber behind the mansion. This is all I know. Please spare my life," the middle-aged man said.
The Flame Immortal Monarch looked at him and said, "Killing you would dirty my hands. Death you can avoid, but suffering you cannot."
With that, a Wind Blade sliced down, severing one of the middle-aged man’s arms, as the Flame Immortal Monarch left the Soul Captivating Hall.
Quickly reaching the backyard, he couldn’t find the entrance to the underground chamber. With a thought, he used his Divine Sense to survey the ground. "Someone used a Blinding Technique. Such a petty trick in front of me? Break!"
A fiery flame shot from his hand, and after a few breaths, an entrance appeared on the ground. The Flame Immortal Monarch entered directly.
Meanwhile, Chu Linfeng was strolling leisurely within the mansion, surprised that he had unknowingly destroyed it. He wondered if Jin Haotian would still want to be the Hanjiang City Lord.
Soon, the Flame Immortal Monarch returned with a middle-aged man, emaciated almost to the bone, his long hair covering his face, much like the Elder of Skill Transmission he had seen in the mine.
The middle-aged man slowly lifted his head, gently brushing the hair aside, and upon seeing Chu Linfeng, a look of shock appeared on his face:
"Are you Brother Lin Feng? Are you really Brother Lin Feng?"
"Brother Jin, you’ve suffered. I’m sorry for coming late!" Chu Linfeng immediately said.
Jin Haotian, once chubby, was now reduced to skin and bones, having suffered greatly. "Flame, do you have any spirit medicine to heal Brother Jin’s injuries? Give him one quickly."
The Flame Immortal Monarch immediately retrieved a red porcelain bottle from his Storage Ring and produced a golden elixir, saying, "This Immortal Cyan Pill should be able to heal his injuries."
"Immortal Cyan Pill? That’s a top-tier second-grade elixir. It’s too valuable; I can’t accept it." Jin Haotian said hurriedly.
"Once I give something, there’s no taking it back. Don’t force me to get angry," the Flame Immortal Monarch said. He respected Chu Linfeng but was indifferent to others.
The word ’Immortal Monarch’ struck fear into Jin Haotian, shocking him that Chu Linfeng could befriend such a powerful figure.
"Brother Jin, just take it. The Hanjiang City Lord is dead by my hand. If you want to become the Hanjiang City Lord, you can do so at any time. I believe that if you wish it, no one in Hanjiang City will dare oppose you, knowing that you have an Immortal Monarch backing you. Who would dare defy you?" Chu Linfeng said.
Jin Haotian felt like he was dreaming, looking at Chu Linfeng, unable to speak for a long time...
