1731 The Conspiracy
Ding Cheng had been in the garrison army for many years and had met many garrison lieutenants, including those who had died inexplicably. He had seen a lot of things, so he naturally knew that to these elite disciples from the various major forces, the garrison lieutenant was just one of the places to be gilded. It was rare for them to put in all their effort to rectify military affairs. Even if they had this determination, they would die quickly without knowing why.
However, Chu Yunfan was different from these people because he had no intention of negotiating with the major forces in Baotai. In other words, even if Li Qianyuan did not lure Ding Feng to do things for him, Chu Yunfan did not intend to let them go.
Chu Yunfan did not hesitate at all. On the first day he got to the camp, he beheaded all of Ding Cheng’s aides for failing to respond to a summon. Even he was declared a deserter because he did not return to the camp.
This simple and crude method did not care about any means. Ding Cheng could see that Chu Yunfan did not have any intention of respecting them, so he did not care about any means.
To Chu Yunfan, compromise was meaningless. They were just a bunch of ignorant natives. This was the reason why he and the Ding clan had miscalculated and were easily eliminated by Chu Yunfan.
Of course, Ding Cheng did not think that it was because Chu Yunfan was strong. He was just a mere elite disciple of the Flying Celestials. Although he was not easy to deal with, it was not impossible to deal with him.
Ding Cheng’s words also made everyone fall silent. If they had thought that Chu Yunfan only wanted to take back his power in the army and not allow anyone to share it with him, then they would have thought that Chu Yunfan was a lucky man.
Now with the Ding clan uprooted, everyone naturally understood that Chu Yunfan had come with ill intentions. He did not intend to compromise with them. He did not intend to live out his term peacefully.
The five forces usually schemed against each other, but at this time, they were surprisingly united. Chu Yunfan was not a fierce dragon that could not cross the river, and this fierce dragon had clearly shown hostility. There were not many choices left for them.
“Everyone, when my clan was uprooted, you all stood by and watched. But now, no one knows who Chu Yunfan will attack next,” Ding Cheng said unhappily as he glanced at everyone. “Don’t forget how Chu Yunfan put a big label on my clan.”
He continued, “Speaking of which, I’m afraid that all of you aren’t very clean either. Today, Chu Yunfan found an excuse to exterminate my clan. Next time, he will find an excuse to destroy all of you one by one. The foundation left behind by our ancestors will all be ruined in your hands!”
“Ding Cheng, you’re saying this because you want us to fight Chu Yunfan to the death and reap the benefits,” the head of a small family said.
Thinking of Chu Yunfan’s terrifying power, the man felt a chill down his spine. If Chu Yunfan targeted him, he was afraid that he would have no chance of escaping.
“If I said that in the past, you can choose not to believe me. Now that my clan has been uprooted, he won’t give up until he finds me and kills me. I swear that when we surround Chu Yunfan in the future, I’ll be at the front lines and will not use you as a shield.”
As Ding Cheng spoke, his eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent. His face was ashen as he shouted, “Chu Yunfan uprooted my clan and announced the so-called evidence of our crimes to the world. I, Ding Cheng, am too ashamed to meet my ancestors. If I can’t sacrifice his head to the souls of my fallen clan, how will I ever continue in this life?”
Ding Cheng’s words and his killing intent shocked everyone. However, the Chen clan’s head, Chen Taining, said, “This b*stard is coming for us. Since he refuses to show us respect, we’ll just handle him like the previous few.”
Chen Taining’s words revealed that the deaths of the previous lieutenant colonels were inextricably related to them. However, the leaders of the various forces did not find it strange. Instead, they felt that it was very normal.
“It’s not that simple. He has the Flying Celestials behind him, and he’s the champion of the sect’s inner disciple competition. He’s a seed disciple in the Flying Celestials. If he dies here for no reason, we’ll be in big trouble,” the leader of Fusion, Pan Bo, said with a worried expression.
Everyone’s expression fell. They all knew how protective a behemoth like the Flying Celestials could be, and they knew how terrifying the Flying Celestials were. The thought of facing such a behemoth head-on sent chills down their spines even though they were experienced and knowledgeable.
“Don’t worry, everyone. Although he has the Flying Celestials backing him, there are people in the Flying Celestials who dislike him. We don’t have to worry about the pressure from that front. Moreover, my clan received a letter from Li Qianyuan previously. The person Chu Yunfan offended is Marquis Li Qianyuan. There’s no need to worry about the pressure from the Imperial Court,” Ding Cheng hurriedly explained.
“What? He offended so many people!”
“The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. He has offended too many people. Most importantly, Chu Yunfan even dared to offend Marquis Huntian.”
“That’s right. If it weren’t for the pressure from the Flying Celestials and the Imperial Court, what would we have to worry about? We just have to let him die without a burial place,” everyone said indignantly.
“In that case, we must act as soon as possible. This guy is vicious. He said that he was in seclusion, but he could attack at any time. Master Jian, I heard that you have some connections in the demonic path. Could you please contact a Cosmic? We’ll split all the expenses. How about it?” Chen Taining proposed to Skyreach’s leader, Jian Wen. He seemed to have made up his mind.
“No problem, leave it to me. He’s just an elite disciple of the Flying Celestials. Does he really think that no one can deal with him?” Jian Wen responded.
“But Chu Yunfan almost never leaves the camp. We have to find a way to lure him out. We won’t attack the camp,” one of the small clan leaders said.
“Then let’s organize a banquet and invite Chu Yunfan there to discuss the major events of Baotai.”
