I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1439

1439 Falling One After Another
Purity went silent when they heard Chu Yunfan’s words. None tried cursing him again. They only dared to curse him before because they thought he was overestimating his strength.

However, they finally understood why Chu Yunfan was so confident—because he had the strength to back up his words. Purity could not fight back if he had decided to destroy them.

Even if Purity had Nine Stars’ help, Chu Yunfan could kill all of Purity’s experts. He did not need to kill everyone in Purity to cause the sect to collapse. There was no doubt about it.

Purity could not help but feel resentment toward their sect master. They dared not feel such resentment toward Chu Yunfan because they knew he could destroy them with just a word, no different from crushing an ant with a boot.

The sect resented their master for offending a formidable monster like Chu Yunfan. They knew their leader and some higher-ups’ participation in Tang Siyu’s encirclement and suppression had caused today’s disaster.

Although the sect members knew these thoughts were wrong, they could not help but think so.

The entire sect was dead silent, waiting for their master’s decision. They knew Chu Yunfan would destroy the sect if their master stubbornly resisted.

The sect master spat a mouthful of blood. He smiled bitterly and said, “Do I have a choice?”

Ultimately, he could not bear to let the sect die alongside him. Although someone else would have done that, he wondered who would care about the flood after he died. Undoubtedly, such a person existed, but the sect master could not do such a thing.

‘The sect’s foundation is something countless people here have worked hard for.’

The sect master closed his eyes and recalled his master entrusting him with the sect before dying. Now, the former had come close to destroying the sect.
“I can tell you the token’s secret and I can kill myself, but you must swear to let Purity go.” The sect master stared at Chu Yunfan. “Otherwise, I’d rather die than tell you the secret.”

Chu Yunfan nodded. “I’ll let them go as long as you tell me the secret and kill yourself.”

He never intended to massacre Purity. Although he had always been decisive and would not be soft-hearted, he was not a murderous demon. Chu Yunfan would not take action if there were no need to kill.

He came to Purity today to learn the token’s secret and avenge Tang Siyu. He had achieved his goals, so there was no point in killing. He did not care about the sect’s hatred for him.

He knew the sect did not threaten him, no matter how many people there were. Moreover, he used another identity—Jian Wuchen. The sect could only hate his alias.

The sect master looked at Chu Yunfan’s cold expression and did not know whether or not he could believe Chu Yunfan. However, he had no other choice at that moment. The entire sect would die if he did not trust Chu Yunfan.

“All right, let me tell you the secret. The token is related to the Violet Thunder Sword Sect that ruled this region in ancient times. They were once a formidable sect. Jinzhanghan, Great Wei, Great Qi, and the outer realms were under they’re rule. Later, they declined and got destroyed by a rising star.

“However, none could find the location of Violet Thunder Sword’s final treasure vault. People believe that token to be one of the keys to opening the sect’s treasury.”

Ultimately, Purity’s sect master decided to tell the truth, not daring to hide anything from Chu Yunfan. He knew Chu Yunfan would destroy the entire sect if he played tricks, and Chu Yunfan noticed it.

Still, the sect master had his plans. Since he was no match for Chu Yunfan, he knew an expert would want to find Chu Yunfan if others knew he had the token. Then Chu Yunfan would die at others’ hands sooner or later.

Though the sect master’s plan was not great, he still had hope for revenge. However, he would never show it for fear that Chu Yunfan would see right through him.

Chu Yunfan nodded, thinking, ‘So, that’s how it is. Violet Thunder Sword’s strength does sound extraordinary. That is evident from the level of the teleportation array engraved on the token.’

The token had surpassed the Void Core Stage and the Core Form Stage. It was impossible to nurture an array expert of this level if it were an ordinary sect.

Although the sect master only briefly explained, Chu Yunfan could feel the power of the former Violet Thunder Swords. It was terrifying.

The current three great empires and vast outer realms were territories ruled by the Violet Thunder Swords. One could imagine just how powerful they once were.

Chu Yunfan also knew that news of his possessing the token would spread like wildfire after today. He worried about attracting many experts’ jealous eyes. Still, he remained fearless.

No matter how many Cores showed up, they would resemble pawns. Moreover, none could recognize Chu Yunfan if he changed his disguise. He knew about the sect master’s little plan but cared not for it.

“In that case, take your own life,” Chu Yunfan said coldly, “You don’t have to try and fool me. I have a list of the people who attacked that day.”

“I hope you keep your word.” As the sect master spoke, he circulated all his mana. His body resembled an exploding furnace, turning into a rain of blood that filled the sky.

Immediately after, Purity’s members became teary-eyed. Their master had sacrificed himself before Chu Yunfan to protect them. Then the half-step Cores who had participated in Tang Siyu’s entrapment also stood out.

Even if they were unwilling, Purity would not agree.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The half-step Cores self-detonated one after another, dying before their fellow members. Suddenly, one member could not bear the pressure of death and turned to escape. Still, he could not outrun Chu Yunfan’s sword.

His sword-shaped light swept the sky and fell, cutting the half-step Core in two.
