I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1734

1734 Greatly Strengthened, Falling Out During the Banquet
Along with stepping into the late Abstract Observance Stage, Chu Yunfan clearly felt that his cultivation had more than doubled, his strength had skyrocketed, and even his battle prowess had followed suit to soar to a brand new realm.

Even if he didn’t transform into a hou, there were only a small number of Interpreters who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him. Unless he encountered a top elite disciple at the peak of the Abstract Interpretation Stage, an ordinary Interpreter was not his match.

Chu Yunfan felt that he could easily kill three to five of his original selves. He could already feel his combat strength soaring with just one increase in cultivation level. He was different from ordinary people. It was easy for ordinary people to break through, but the increase in combat strength after breaking through was limited. Chu Yunfan’s breakthrough was far more difficult than ordinary people’s, but once he broke through, his cultivation and combat strength would also undergo an earth-shattering change.

It was bitter first, then sweet. The more he went on, the greater Chu Yunfan’s cultivation advantage became. What was did it mean to be invincible within the same level? He was truly invincible within the same level. He could even go against the flow and defeat experts who were far higher than him.

“Coupled with my hou from, even an ordinary peak Interpreter wouldn’t be a match for me. Although it won’t be long, it’s enough for one battle.” Chu Yunfan sneered. “What trap? I’ll uproot all the parasites in their places.”

Chu Yunfan calculated the time. Today was already ten days later and was time for the banquet?

As the sun set, the night sky tore apart the last rays of the setting sun bit by bit, covering everything like a black cloth. A bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a cold moonlight on the ground. Although it was late at night, the ancestral land of the Chen clan was extremely lively.

Today, the head of the Chen clan had set up a banquet in the ancestral land to entertain Chu Yunfan and the leaders of the various major forces. All the influential figures in Baotai were in attendance. Even many people who had not participated in the battle between the two sides were at the banquet. It was as if this was really just a banquet to discuss the future of Baotai.

“Chu Yunfan hasn’t come yet. Don’t tell me he doesn’t dare to come.”

“Maybe. The situation at this banquet is still unclear. Chu Yunfan might not come in person. You know many people hate him so much that they’re gnashing their teeth.”

“That’s impossible. None of you are right. Don’t you know that Chu Yunfan has already sent a reply? He will personally attend today’s banquet.”

“He’s so arrogant. Everyone has arrived early and is waiting for him.”

“He is the garrison leader. According to the rules of Grand Xia, he has the final say in Baotai.”

The guests discussed animatedly. Although they were not invited to the inner hall, it did not prevent them from having all kinds of guesses. Many of them had their own channels of information, so it was difficult to tell whether it was true or not.

“Lieutenant Colonel Chu Yunfan has arrived!”

With the announcement of the servants, all the voices quieted down. Everyone eagerly turned their heads. This was the first time many people were laying eyes on him, and this was when they found out Chu Yunfan was so young.

He looked to be at most twenty years old. His lips were red and his teeth were white. He looked delicate, but his gaze carried a bit of power that could not be rejected. Dressed in a black robe, he looked very capable.

As Chu Yunfan walked in, everyone was silent, as if they had lost their voices under his light. Under the guidance of the servants, Chu Yunfan passed through the outer court and arrived at the inner court. Unlike the chaos in the outer court, the inner court was located in a relatively closed hall. The leaders of the various large factions were already sitting in the corners of the hall, exchanging drinks. This was also a rare opportunity for them to make friends.

The leaders of the four forces were the focus of everyone’s attention. However, as Chu Yunfan walked into the inner court, everyone’s eyes focused on him.

“Is that Chu Yunfan? He looks so young. Is he really as powerful as the rumors say?”

“Rumor has it that he is at least at the Abstract Interpretation Stage, but I can’t tell at all now. To my knowledge, he’s invincible. This is the first time I’ve encountered a person that even I can’t see through.”

“You still dare to take over even though you know that so many garrison leaders have died here? If you don’t have some skills, I’m afraid it won’t work.”

The leaders of the various large factions began to discuss in private. However, their voices were very soft, and they even exchanged information with each other through their divine wills.

They watched Chu Yunfan walk in. Even the leaders of the four forces had never seen Chu Yunfan before. Before this, they had only seen his portrait. It was clear his power was not something that a mere portrait could compare to.

“You’re here, Colonel Chu. Please, take a seat,” Master Chen said as he hurriedly stood up and said. Usually, there was no one in Baotai who could make him so polite.
“No need, I won’t be sitting. It’s a waste of time,” Chu Yunfan said.

“What do you mean, sir?” Master Wang asked, his eyes incomparably gloomy.

At this moment, everyone became nervous, including Master Xu who was drinking in the corner. He almost spat out his wine because he didn’t expect Chu Yunfan to be so simple and violent.

Looks like Chu Yunfan was going to lay out all the cards on the table.

“I said, I won’t be sitting as it’s a waste of time. I don’t know if you poisoned the food,” Chu Yunfan said with a faint smile, “So, to be on the safe side, I won’t be sitting.”

“What jokes, sir. Why would we poison the food?” Fusion’s leader said.

He and the sect leader of Skyreach silently blocked Chu Yunfan’s escape route. Together with the head of the Wang and Chen clan, they formed an array to trap Chu Yunfan.

“I already know your plan. There’s no point in pretending. Why don’t we just save all of us some time?” Chu Yunfan said indifferently. He glanced at everyone. He was not afraid of the faint encirclement.
