1470 The Net Forms!
None of them could alter the entire country’s fate. After all, there were few existences of this level in the world. If that alone were not enough to shock them, then Chu Yunfan’s age would.
He did not look like a teenager or a mid-aged adult, looking to be only in his early twenties. The alchemists never thought a twenty-year-old could reach such heights. They suspected he had started cultivating the moment his parents conceived him. How could he have reached such astonishing cultivation levels?
Everyone looked at each other in shock. The alchemists had vowed to eliminate Chu Yunfan but never expected him to be such a formidable force. They were in dismay because they had still been apprentices in their twenties. The strongest among them were at most junior alchemists, and those who became senior alchemists were geniuses like Agula.
However, Chu Yunfan differed. He possessed the cultivation of an alchemy expert in his twenties and had also reached the Core Form Stage.
In the deadlock situation, someone finally asked, “I-Is he a monster? How do we kill someone that powerful?”
Everyone had no choice but to stand down after reading Chu Yunfan’s information. After all, his achievements were outstanding. He had defeated Yun Huang—the original number-one expert and leader of the Monster Subduer Sect. Yun Huang was famous even in Jinzhanghan and had been the only kingdom guardian in Great Wei.
Yun Huang had supported more than half of the situations in Great Wei, and Chu Yunfan managed to defeat such a terrifyingly strong person.
“How strong is Chu Yunfan? The experts we know can’t withstand a single blow from him.”
Although the alchemists might not understand it fully, they clearly saw the gap between the Core Form Stage and the Void Core Stage. They were not that ignorant.
“We can’t kill him even if we ask for assistance,” someone lamented.
Jinzhanghan had its own kingdom guardians, but they could not just ask someone of that level for assistance whenever they wanted to. Especially when the target was another kingdom guardian-level master. Hence, the alchemists had to consider their options carefully.
They wondered where else they could find someone to deal with Chu Yunfan.
The president said, “Don’t worry, everyone. Although this b*stard is hard to deal with, his existence has attracted the khan’s attention. I’ve already sent out news of Chu Yunfan’s arrival. The khan has promised to send his men.”
A sharp light glinted in his eyes. ‘Chu Yunfan’s existence is quite a massive threat to Jinzhanghan.’
A senior alchemist pipped up, “I’m afraid fighting here would be inappropriate though. If that happens, Headquarters might have a falling out with our kingdom.”
The Alchemist Association Headquarters was an independent behemoth of the three great kingdoms and had a bottom line. They could disregard the struggles between the various alchemist associations, but if any of them killed people in their territory, there would be a falling out between them and the perpetrators. If that happened, even if many alchemy experts from Jinzhanghan were part of Headquarters, they would not swallow their anger.
After all, the Alchemist Association Headquarters transcended kingdoms and had existed much longer than Jinzhanghan’s history. It was not that no one had tried defying Headquarters since ancient times, but ultimately, they returned in defeat and even aroused Headquarter’s revenge.
They mobilized all their forces and destroyed it. Among them, there were even forces with Core Formers. One could imagine how terrifying Headquarters was. Unless it were essential, no one would be willing to shed all pretense of cordiality with such an existence.
The president said coldly, “It doesn’t matter! The meet is about to end. Chu Yunfan will leave this place, and we can ambush them on the journey back.”
Someone asked, “What if he uses the teleportation portal to leave? This base has a portal, though it is a high price to use it.”
If the alchemists of Great Wei courageously tried to escape, they might be unable to stop them.
“Hmph, it’s not that simple. I’ve already asked our kingdom to shut down the portal so he can’t escape. He’d have to be thousands of miles away to reach the nearest place with a portal. Such a distance is enough to send Chu Yunfan to his death!” the president said coldly and confidently.
The others were relieved.
“In that case, our plan is foolproof. We have to kill Chu Yunfan.”
“That’s right. This b*stard is too much of a threat. Our kingdom will never have a day of peace with him around.”
“Hahaha! We’ll cut off his head and send it to Great Wei’s little emperor!”
The deadlocked atmosphere disappeared. The alchemists felt relaxed now that they had a way to kill Chu Yunfan.
Meanwhile, the alchemists of Great Qi were gloomy. They, too, had received information about Chu Yunfan. After all, Jinzhanghan was not the only place with spies in Great Wei. Other large forces did too.
Though the level of spies differed, Chu Yunfan’s information was no longer a secret. After all, the battle in front of everyone had exposed everything, and it was the first time Chu Yunfan had revealed he possessed a Core Former’s combat strength.
Like the alchemists of Jinzhanghan, the ones in Great Qi were just as dumbfounded, especially Tian Yi. He was a self-proclaimed genius but was now in his thirties. He too had just become a senior alchemist and was still far from becoming an alchemy expert.
Even so, people praised him as a genius, and he had always thought. Until Agula destroyed his pride.
