1655 Everyone Has Their Own Plan
Under Huang Feng’s guidance, Chu Yunfan arrived at a corner of the Merit Hall. There were four people waiting there. One was a tall and slender woman with fair skin and a delicate face. She was dressed in tight clothes and looked valiant. There was also a tall and strong man, a middle-aged man of medium height, and a man in a luxurious robe with an arrogant expression.
“Huang Feng, this person is the strong reinforcement you were looking for?” the arrogant man questioned. He glanced at Chu Yunfan and saw that Chu Yunfan had clearly just entered the Abstract Stage. His expression became a little disdainful.
“Senior Fan, he is one of the top ten inner disciples of our batch,” Huang Feng hurriedly said.
...
“One of the top ten? Each batch is worse than the last. A person who just stepped into the Abstract Stage managed to enter the top ten?” the arrogant man said with a faint smile.
However, the expressions of the others changed slightly. They knew very well how difficult it was for a fledgling Abstract to be one of the top ten of the Flying Celestials’ inner disciple test. After all, they all went through it, so they understood how difficult it was.
The arrogant man also understood this, but he didn’t care. So what if Chu Yunfan was a genius? In front of him, Chu Yunfan was nothing.
Huang Feng was just about to explain that Chu Yunfan had not been in the fledgling Abstract Stage when he became a seed disciple, but in the Golden Core Stage. But when he saw Chu Yunfan’s gaze, he immediately shut his mouth and said nothing.
“Since my cousin introduced him, this man must have real talent,” the woman said.
“Brother Chu, this is my cousin, Huang Ling’er, and this is Fan Shixin,” Huang Feng introduced the woman and the arrogant man. “These two are Iron Heart Tie Shixiong and Senior Zhang Yi.” He introduced the tall man and the medium-sized man.
“Greetings, Seniors.” Chu Yunfan cupped his hands.
“Huang Feng may have introduced you, but he himself is already a burden. Let me test your capabilities.”
Iron Heart sneered and suddenly attacked. In an instant, his fist arrived in front of Chu Yunfan. His fist was powerful, but it didn’t cause a sonic boom. It was extremely fast. Like a bolt of lightning, he arrived before Chu Yunfan.
This Iron Heart’s cultivation had clearly long surpassed the Abstract Stage and had already stepped into the Abstract Observance Stage.
Bam!
Chu Yunfan raised his hand to block the punch. His body shook slightly, and he blocked it.
Instantly, everyone had a whole new level of respect for Chu Yunfan. Iron Heart’s cultivation was already at the Abstract Observance Stage, and when this punch was thrown toward Chu Yunfan, Chu Yunfan was able to receive it and was not sent flying. It was not without reason that Chu Yunfan had entered the top ten and become a seed disciple.
“Not bad. You’re pretty strong. You can stay.” Iron Heart nodded, indicating that he recognized Chu Yunfan.
Chu Yunfan swept his gaze over the group. He discovered that among these people, the one with the highest cultivation was Fan Shixin. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Abstract Observance Stage. Next was Huang Feng’s cousin, Huang Ling’er, who was also at the late Abstract Observance Stage. The remaining Iron Heart and Zhang Yi were also at the Abstract Observance Stage.
Huang Feng himself was at the late Abstract Stage. Although he was considered great among the new inner disciples, there was still a huge gap between him and these veteran disciples.
“Not bad. I’ll let you join us.” Fan Shixin nodded.
“But let me make it clear to you that Lone Star’s life is mine. None of you are allowed to fight me for him. I’m taking the Evolution Pill. As for you, I won’t mistreat any of you. I will reward you all. If you dare to defy me, I will kill you with my own hands.” Fan Shixin sneered.
Chu Yunfan frowned and realized that this was different from what Huang Feng had said. Then, he heard Huang Feng’s telepathy. After listening to Huang Feng’s explanation, Chu Yunfan finally understood that Fan Shixin had a great background. His father was an elder of the Flying Celestials, so he had been pampered since he was young. He respected very few people.
This group of people had been hired to help Fan Shixin complete this mission. Although they would not be able to obtain the Evolution Pill, they would still be able to obtain many benefits from Elder Fang.
Chu Yunfan raised his eyebrows. “Brother Huang, this isn’t right. This is different from what you told me.”
“Brother Chu, this is the best result we can hope for. There are many people watching Lone Star. Aside from us, there are many people from other sects chasing after him. With our cultivation, we have no chance of winning.” Huang Feng smiled bitterly and begged for mercy. He was relieved that Chu Yunfan did not turn hostile on the spot.
Of course, Chu Yunfan did not turn hostile. However, he made up his mind. When the time came, he would not give up Lone Star. This concerned whether he could transcend the Abstract Stage or not, and this was a mission issued by the Imperial Court. If one wanted to be conferred the title of Marquis or Minister, they would have to rely on the accumulation of such contributions.
Although Fan Shixin had agreed to his participation, Chu Yunfan could clearly feel the hostility in his eyes. Chu Yunfan didn’t know what he was plotting. Although it was only for a moment, Chu Yunfan still caught it.
“Since none of you have anything to say, let’s set off. It’s better to be early than late,” Fan Shixin said.
The group Merit Hall. Upon exiting, Fan Shixin waved toward the sky and a flying warship appeared. This ship shone with golden light and was engraved with countless runes. It looked very powerful and was clearly a high-grade magic treasure.
“Let’s go. This is my airship. It’s much faster than flying on your own,” Fan Shixin said as he jumped in.
Chu Yunfan and the others did not hesitate and immediately followed.
With a wave of Fan Shixin’s hand, the airship turned into a beam of light and flew into the distance. In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared.
