1582 The Subduing of the Imperial Capital
Chu Hongcai cried sadly. This time was different. Last time, they were saved by Wei Wuji, so although they suffered a big change, they were fine. This time, the entire Chu family had been executed, and he was the only one who had escaped.
Chu Hongcai had only managed to escape with his life under the protection of his personal guards. At that time, Xiang Feiyun had not cares for this million-strong army and just let them go after scattering them. After all, not everyone was like Chu Yunfan who had a nuclear bomb in his hands. Destroying an army of a million soldiers and killing an army of a million soldiers were two different things.
Tens of thousands of people was a whole wave of people, not to mention millions. Even if a Golden Core wanted to kill all these people, it would be very difficult. Under those circumstances, Chu Hongcai had managed to escape. But before he could return to the Imperial Capital, he heard that the entire Chu family had been executed. Naturally, he did not dare to return to the Imperial Capital.
Instead, he came to this secret valley. Ever since they had been interrogated by the imperial court and were almost killed, the Chu family had been on guard. Even though Wei Wuji had great trust in the Chu family, no one truly knew his thoughts, not to mention that the future emperor might not trust the Chu family so much. As the saying goes, a crafty rabbit has three burrows. Therefore, the Chu family had established a secret base in this forest. It was hard to spot from the outside.
After Chu Hongcai sent Chu Yunfan a message, he retreated to the secret base to wait for Chu Yunfan because he knew that Chu Yunfan would come here to find him as soon as he returned.
As expected, he met Chu Yunfan here.
“It’s too tragic, Brother Fan. I was useless. I only dared to look from afar. Everyone’s heads were hung on the city walls.” Chu Hongcai burst into tears. He had not been like this since becoming an adult.
In just a few short years, Chu Hongcai had grown from a young boy when Chu Yunfan first met him to a resolute and decisive youth. His cultivation had went for the early Divine Abilities Stage to the peak. His progress was not slow. Other than Chu Yunfan’s guidance, more importantly, the Chu family had risen through the clouds because of Wei Wuji. Chu Hongcai could then enjoy a hundred or even a thousand times more resources than before.
In the end, cultivation was a process of accumulating resources. In a situation where they had similar talent and resources, their cultivation speed could not be mentioned in the same breath. But now, he couldn’t hold it in any longer and started to cry in front of Chu Yunfan.
“I’m useless! Useless. I could only watch as everyone died!” Chu Hongcai started to wail.
“Why are you crying?” Chu Yunfan said coldly, “Wipe your tears and kill all these people who think they’re gods.”
Chu Yunfan was burning with anger. He no longer cared about the background of these people. Since the other party was clearly coming for him, he would not be a coward. He still had nuclear bombs, so he was fearless.
“I promise you that I’ll let you chop off Xiang Feiyun’s head with your own hands,” Chu Yunfan said coldly.
“Thank you, Brother Fan.” Chu Hongcai wiped away his tears. He knew that he and Chu Yunfan were the only two people left in the Chu family. Chu Yunfan was destined to be someone extraordinary and would not stay in this world for long. From now on, the Chu family could only rely on him to prosper.
“You are not a child anymore. The Chu family’s resurgence will depend on you,” Chu Yunfan said.
“Yes, Brother Fan.” Chu Hongcai nodded.
“No matter who the other party is, I promise you that I’ll make them pay the price!” Chu Yunfan gritted his teeth. “Let’s go to the Imperial Capital. I want to check out how strong he is.”
Chu Yunfan and Chu Hongcai flew in the direction of the Imperial Capital. Chu Yunfan was extremely fast. In just two hours, he had already arrived at the Imperial Capital.
The Imperial Capital, which had just experienced a great battle, had recovered its former prosperity. Although the million-strong army had been defeated, the casualties were only a few hundred thousand. Without experiencing a siege, the Imperial Capital of Great Wei had surrendered.
Under Xiang Feiyun’s pressure, all of Great Wei had bowed their heads, just like how they had bowed their heads to Chu Yunfan. In the face of absolute strength, even a country had to bow its head. This world was the heyday of martial arts. If it was the Federation, no powerhouse would dare to do such a thing. The most powerful would always be the Federation Government. They could capture powerful Divines and uproot a behemoth as they pleased.
No one dared to face the power of the Federation. That was the golden age of ordinary people. No matter how powerful the cultivators were, they had to be under the law.
A roar filled with anger exploded above the Imperial Capital.
For a moment, figures flew out one after another and looked up at the sky. When they saw who it was, they were instantly scared out of their wits. The two people flying in the air were none other than Chu Hongcai and Chu Yunfan.
Chu Yunfan had accumulated a lot of power over the years. Even though Xiang Feiyun had proven that his cultivation was extremely terrifying, at this moment, he was not as terrifying as Chu Yunfan.
“He’s back. He really came back!”
“That’s right. With Chu Yunfan’s personality, he definitely won’t let this go.”
“A storm is coming!”
“So what if Chu Yunfan defeats Xiang Feiyun? There are too many experts from Grand Xia. He can’t fight all of them alone.”
For a moment, everyone was discussing animatedly. Everyone could feel a shocking killing intent from Chu Yunfan and Chu Hongcai. It was fine if it was Chu Hongcai, but it was Chu Yunfan’s strength that made everyone tremble in fear. They did not dare to underestimate him.
At this moment, in a manor in the depths of the Imperial Capital, a group of young men in luxurious clothes were chatting and laughing away.
