He didn’t know how strong the evil gods in the grassland were. He didn’t know if they had reached the level of the previous Emperors, but at the very least, they were far above ordinary Kings.

If the records in the Flying Celestials were not wrong, these evil gods might have survived since the end of the ancient era.

At least in Chu Yunfan’s memory of the Alchemy Emperor, he had never seen these so-called evil gods. Presumably, in the era when the Emperors ruled the world, these evil gods were not even worth mentioning.

This was true. If there were emperors, how could these evil gods have the chance to develop a race like the Hus?

Any Emperor could kill these evil gods thousands of times.

Any one of them was a powerful existence that was once invincible in the world.

Countless Kings had died of old age, but these evil gods had survived through all sorts of secret techniques.

Someone was using living beings as blood sacrifices to increase the life force of the evil gods. These were secrets among ordinary people in the world, but for an expert like Chu Yunfan, it was not a secret.

This method was too evil. Every year, who knew how many living beings had to be sacrificed to keep them alive.

Therefore, the war between the Hus and the humans had never stopped. This was because the Hus needed to plunder enough people from Grand Xia for blood sacrifices.

It was far from just a lack of food and wealth.

This was also the fundamental reason why the Hus and the humans had slowly developed into mortal enemies. Grand Xia wanted to uproot the Hus.

The Hus also wanted to turn Grand Xia and all the humans in the world into animals, providing them with the lives they needed for the blood sacrifice.

Even if Grand Xia had more than one King guarding it, they currently had no way to challenge the evil gods.

Therefore, although Chu Yunfan had such great ambitions, he did not dare to be careless. Even if he reached the King Stage and was stronger than ordinary Kings, it was not enough to defeat the evil gods and reverse this trend.

He also knew that other than the evil gods of the Hus in the depths of the grassland, there was also a terrifying barbarian god lurking deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the southern barbarians.

Similar to the Hus in the grassland, the barbarian god also plundered and brainwashed the human race, thus forming the barbarians—a behemoth that could fight against the humans.

The barbarians also had to sacrifice their blood to the barbarian god. They were no different from the evil gods of the Hus in the north.

They were the malignant tumors of the entire world. Those barbarian god and evil gods had survived until now through evil methods and had become the greatest threat to the world.

“It’s good that you know your limits!” Situ Xuan nodded slowly. He knew that Chu Yunfan was not a reckless person, so he nodded in satisfaction.

“But what do you plan to do next? The Destiny Sect will definitely think of a way to deal with you now, but we have no way to fight against the Destiny Sect!” Situ Xuan said worriedly.

If the world was at peace, then there was nothing to be afraid of.

Because the order was still there, it was impossible for the Destiny Sect to do as they pleased. After all, there was still the imperial family suppressing them.

But now, the imperial family had to fight against the overwhelming demons, so they had no time to care about the grudge between the Destiny Sect and the Flying Celestials.

If the old sect master of the Destiny Sect personally made a move, the entire Flying Celestials would be in danger.

After all, the founder of the Flying Celestials was only at the King Stage. The many methods he left behind were still fine against martial arts experts below the King Stage, but against a true King, there was no chance of victory at all.

“It’s fine. They can’t do anything to me!” Chu Yunfan said with a cold smile. “Even if they want to target me, we have to see if they have the ability!”

Seeing Chu Yunfan’s confidence, Situ Xuan didn’t say anything more.

Soon, all kinds of things about Chu Yunfan were circulating in the world, and he was called the number one expert below the King Stage.

An imperial edict came from the Imperial Capital. The human king summoned Chu Yunfan. This time, Chu Yunfan had swept through the depths of the grasslands and made a great contribution.

Chu Yunfan had been promoted to Duke Zhenyuan!

He was promoted from a marquis to a duke.

This was the highest title that a normal person could obtain.

After all, even the emperor of Grand Xia only held the title of king.

Under the urging of the Grand Commandant’s Office, Chu Yunfan quickly stepped onto the teleportation portal to the Imperial Capital.

Not long after, Chu Yunfan’s figure appeared in the Imperial Capital.

Although the demons outside had tried their best to seal the Imperial Capital, there were still ways to use the teleportation portal to teleport people in and out.

However, this price was much higher than before. It was almost ten times higher than before the demon invasion.

However, Chu Yunfan was going to the Imperial Capital under the orders of the human king, so he did not have to worry about the cost of teleportation.

Soon, the news of Chu Yunfan’s appearance in the Imperial Capital spread.

In the Imperial Capital, countless consciousnesses were communicating.

Toward Chu Yunfan’s appearance, some of them showed friendliness, while others showed extreme malice. Chu Yunfan could even feel that many of them had clear killing intent toward him.

His existence had offended too many people. There were countless people who wanted to kill him.

After waiting in the Imperial Capital for three days, Chu Yunfan finally met the current master of Grand Xia, the human king.

Compared to when he first met the human king, the human king’s expression was much more weathered. It was obvious that even with the human king’s talent, he was exhausted from dealing with this series of matters.

“You’ve done well,” the human king said as soon as he saw Chu Yunfan. “All this time, I’ve only heard bad news. You’re the only one who keeps bringing me good news!”

The human king looked at Chu Yunfan with satisfaction.

“Your Majesty, you flatter me. I only did as I should. I am also a member of the human race! It’s all part of my duty!” Chu Yunfan looked at the human king and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

“Good job!” The human king laughed and said, “What’s funny is that some people don’t understand. They actually flirt with the demons, Hus, marine folks, barbarians, monsters, and other races.

“These people are already crazy for the sake of benefits. They don’t know that without the protection of the human race, they would probably have died long ago. How could they cultivate to this realm!”

“They’re all dead!” Chu Yunfan’s eyes flashed with killing intent. “They all deserve to die!”

Chu Yunfan hated traitors like them the most. At the same time, he felt that they were extremely stupid. The human race was the umbrella of protection for everyone. Once the human race fell apart, everyone, regardless of their strength, would be greatly threatened.
