I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1976

1976 A Thousand Accusing Fingers, Enemy of the World
In any force, not every descendant had a protector. Only the most promising prodigies with outstanding talent who could beat their peers could have a protector to protect them.

For protectors, it was not only to protect the hope of their family’s rise, but it was also closely related to themselves. Such top-notch experts would lower their status and do nothing but protect a prodigy for decades until that person rose to become a top-notch expert themselves.

The benefits the protectors would obtain were naturally self-evident. Just the gratitude of these prodigies who had risen to become top experts brought countless rewards, bringing huge gains to the protector and their descendants.

Becoming a protector of a certain prodigy was not a difficult task, but a lucrative job that many people fought for. This was especially true for those older figures who had already reached the upper limit of their cultivation and had no way to advance. They would fight for such an opportunity with all their might.

Some of forces even had their direct ancestors personally come forward to protect their descendants. Under such circumstances, to protectors, prodigies were their future hope, and even the hope of their lineage. One could imagine that Li Qianyuan’s death was like his protector’s future being cut off by a knife. The anger in his heart instantly burst out. However, he still endured it.

Although he was already a top expert in the Li clan, compared to the Elder Princess, he was nothing. He had seen texperts of the Winged Tiger Tribe being crushed to death with a single slap. Among them was even the protector of the Winged Tiger Tribe. Their strength was not inferior to his, and it was because of this lesson that he did not dare to act rashly. He could only stare at Chu Yunfan, wishing he could tear Chu Yunfan into pieces.

“Li clan people, what are you trying to do? Why are you being such sore loser?”

The experts of the Flying Celestials also stood up one after another, blocking the way of the experts of the Li clan. The elder of the Flying Celestials was especially at full strength, fighting against the Li clan’s protector.

“Chu Yunfan was too ruthless. He killed the chief disciple of our sect for no reason. He needs to explanation himself. We can’t just let this go!”

“That’s right. Chu Yunfan has committed an unforgivable crime. His martial arts should be crippled!”

“If he doesn’t die, the hatred in our hearts won’t be appeased!”

Following the words of the Li clan’s expert, the experts of the sects who had their chief disciples killed by Chu Yunfan also began to clamor. In an instant, it felt as if the entire world was the Flying Celestials’ enemy.

Chu Yunfan had offended too many people. Even if the people he killed were not the chief disciples of the various large sects, they were the best of the best in their respective sects. They were not much different from the chief disciples.

Even the remaining forces did not have any disciples killed by Chu Yunfan were probably not happy to see Chu Yunfan rise like this. Before this, Chu Yunfan was still a pursuer and a junior. But now, after Chu Yunfan killed Li Qianyuan, he was the number one person of the younger generation in the world. His status would change from challenger to the challenged. He had become a thorn in many people’s eyes!

The pressure that Li Qianyuan had once endured was now overwhelming Chu Yunfan. For a moment, there were thousands pointing fingers at him. However, Chu Yunfan did not seem to see it. He was calm and there was a faint coldness in his gaze. He had stood at the top of the world more than once, so he was naturally not unfamiliar with this feeling.

When a person stood at the peak, they would have to face the open spears and hidden arrows of various factions. This was normal. Chu Yunfan could now see the true faces of the various forces and their motives.

In this world of great conflict, thousands of boats were racing against each other. Everyone was fighting for the chance to transcend. If one person was strong, they would occupy more resources, while others would have fewer opportunities. Naturally, they would block the path of others and become a thorn in everyone’s eyes.

The people of the Flying Celestials, who were under great pressure, couldn’t help but smile bitterly. They hadn’t expected Chu Yunfan to make such a big move. They never thought that he could kill Li Qianyuan. What kind of shocking strength was this?

The Flying Celestials was one of the top ten sects and had never lacked experts who could be ranked on the Prodigy List. However, it had been many years since a person had been able to rank first on the Prodigy List. The last one was more than a thousand years ago. It was so long ago that people had almost forgotten that the Flying Celestials had once been glorious.

And now, another one had appeared. They had seen Chu Yunfan’s strength, so they were naturally very meticulous. Even the true disciples who were of the same generation as Chu Yunfan were very happy. When a person was slightly stronger than them, it might arouse their jealousy. However, when a person was so powerful that they could only look up to him, then this jealousy would turn into admiration.

If Chu Yunfan’s level was similar to theirs, then Chu Yunfan’s rise would undoubtedly be another competitor for them. However, Chu Yunfan stood at a very high level, and he was not on the same level as them. There was no competition between the two sides. No matter how thick-skinned they were, they were too embarrassed to say that they were Chu Yunfan’s competitors.

Without competition, there was no longer any conflict of interest. Naturally, Chu Yunfan was much more pleasing to the eye. Moreover, they knew that their future wealth was tied to the Flying Celestials. The stronger the Flying Celestials was, the more limitless their future would be. A powerful Flying Celestials needed a leader with immeasurable potential like Chu Yunfan to lead it.

At this moment, they all knew that they absolutely could not take even half a step back under the pressure of the crowd, especially the elder in the lead. He understood what it meant for the Flying Celestials to have a disciple ranked first on the Prodigy List.

“Even if all of us die in battle, we will not let you have your way!”

For a moment, the atmosphere in the arena froze. Both sides were at loggerheads. A great battle was about to erupt,

“Enough. Do you have no respect for me?!”

Suddenly, the Elder Princess’ cold shout came from the side. Everyone immediately shivered. Only then did everyone remember that there was a terrifying existence here that suppressed everyone. Everyone’s life and death were in her hands.

Immediately after, a huge pressure crushed the entire scene. The aura released by everyone’s bodies collapsed and disappeared without a trace.

No one dared to resist. They all turned to look at the Elder Princess to see how she would deal with this matter. A matter of life and death could be decided with a single word.
