1471 Everyone Was Shocked
The president of Great Qi’s Alchemist Association realized that Agula, who he had always regarded as his greatest enemy, was nothing compared to Chu Yunfan.
After all, Agula had barely stepped into the alchemy expert ranks, and the Thirteen Brilliant Suns he cultivated had various problems. Moreover, Chu Yunfan had severely injured one of his arms. He feared that Agula would have to leave the alchemy expert ranks.
The president never imagined a young man in his twenties could possess such astonishing and dazzling cultivation in both alchemy and martial arts.
The president looked around and said, “What should we do? Chu Yunfan is strong, but Is it a good or bad thing for us?”
An alchemy expert from Great Qi said, “I don’t think it’s necessarily a good thing. After all, Jinzhanghan is dominating the world right now. They won’t allow us or Great Wei to stand out. Now that a genius has appeared in Great Wei, Jinzhanghan will not allow Chu Yunfan to live.”
“In that case, we shall just wait and see. It won’t be worse for us, no matter who wins.”
He had already given up on finding trouble with Chu Yunfan when he discovered Chu Yunfan was in the Core Form stage.
‘Is this some kind of joke? That’s a kingdom guardian-level master. Only a few exist in Great Qi. How could we dispatch anyone to deal with him? It’ll be a significant loss for Great Qi if we lose. If we don’t keep this matter a secret and let Chu Yunfan escape, I’ll face the terrifying wrath of a kingdom guardian.’
And Chu Yunfan did not need to fight them head-on. Great Qi would soon collapse if he destroyed one of their cities. They could not deal with an expert of this level. Only experts of the same level could contend with Chu Yunfan.
No matter what, Jinzhanghan should be the first to feel threatened if Chu Yunfan rose. Hence, Great Qi was not too nervous. At that moment, their best chance of survival was to watch them fight.
Everyone soon agreed to remain neutral during the battle between the two sides.
Meanwhile, Tian Yi clenched his fists as he listened from the sidelines. He had no right to speak on this matter. In comparison, Chu Yunfan was the center of attention.
Tian Yi felt aggrieved, thinking, ‘Why did he become the center of attention?’
“Still, Chu Yunfan is a monstrous figure. We must foster a good relationship with him.” Great Qi’s president quickly decided. He did not want to rope Chu Yunfan in, but at least wanted to befriend him.
If a genius like Chu Yunfan survived, everyone would have to obey him a few hundred years later. After all, he was an expert who leveled a country.
After obtaining information about Chu Yunfan, Jinzhanghan, Great Qi, and other major powers finally realized how formidable he was. It was not something they had expected. Instead, it exceeded their expectations a thousand times over.
If a Core Form was dissatisfied, he could slaughter everyone inside and outside the base.
“I never pegged him for a Core Former. He’s much too young.”
“That’s right. Didn’t another Core Former appear a few days ago? Wasn’t that person’s name Jian Wuchen? He’s around the same age.”
“Yes, I heard about that. Jian Wuchen defeated more than ten sects in one go and even slaughtered all of Nine Stars’ masters. There might not have been a master of this level for decades or even centuries.”
“But two of them in just a few days? That’s too much!”
Most compared Chu Yunfan to Jian Wuchen, who had recently become famous, but no one knew the two were one and the same. None dared to think in that direction. Otherwise, it would be too shocking. After all, one was a sword genius, and the other was a prodigy in alchemy.
Everyone sighed when they recalled seeing two geniuses consecutively.
Undercurrents surged, and a storm brewed as all the significant forces investigated Chu Yunfan. While the story’s main character himself remained as steady as a mountain.
He either strolled around and completed transactions with merchants who sold medicinal herbs or participated in the meet to discuss alchemy with various alchemists.
No one dared to underestimate Chu Yunfan after the incident with Agula. Everyone regarded the former as an alchemy expert, especially his outstanding martial arts skills, which made people look at him in a different light.
Soon after, the various influential powers received a notice from the Alchemist Association Headquarters. Since the teleportation portal to the outside world was broken, no one could use it.
Chu Yunfan would have to go to a city thousands of miles away from here if he wanted to use a teleportation portal. The news caused a massive commotion, especially at this sensitive moment.
One would say it caught most people’s interest.
Jinzhanghan was mighty in the Alchemist Association, but its power was not unlimited. The various influential forces also had a considerable pull on the Alchemist Association.
The news could not remain hidden from them since Jinzhanghan was involved. It made many people realize that this matter was not as straightforward as it seemed.
Those who were smarter guessed that Jinzhanghan had come with ill intentions, and their target was Chu Yunfan.
The representatives of Great Wei’s Alchemist Association also received the news at the first possible moment. The leader, Gongsun Wulong, immediately went looking for Chu Yunfan.
Gongsun Wulong said, “Master Chu, I’ve just received news that the city’s teleportation portal has been destroyed and can no longer be used. It’s probably related to Jinzhanghan.”
“Understood.” Chu Yunfan nodded.
Gongsun Wulong was astounded. After all, it was an urgent matter, and Chu Yunfan replied with one simple word.
