Chapter 788: Feigning Death and Concocting Pills

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The result of this battle was that both sides suffered heavy losses. No one was able to gain the upper hand. In many people’s eyes, this was a confrontation between the Chus and the Jiangs.

The Chus had lost Chu Yunfan—a super genius with extraordinary potential. In the future, he might even step into the Divine Abilities Stage

This was something the Chus was very sure of. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have used nuclear weapons. Originally, the Chus didn’t plan to fall out with the Jiangs, but after the Jiangs used a nuclear weapon to kill Chu Yunfan, the Chus dropped all pretenses.

This time, the Jiangs, which had suffered a loss of more than a hundred advanced mecha, more than a dozen ninth Innate experts, and two peak-Innate experts, didn’t have it easy either.

Totaling up the experts who had died at Chu Yunfan’s hands, the Jiangs’ losses had reached an unimaginable level. It was hard to say whether that huge price was worth it just to eliminate Chu Yunfan.

However, it was already done.

The two great families had used nuclear bombs. One could imagine what level of confrontation this was. The two great families were at daggers drawn, and it was as if they were about to start a nuclear war.

The two families were both deeply rooted within the Federation. They possessed powerful forces, and for a time, the Federation was silent.

The other powers began to send envoys to mediate the situation. Although they hoped that the two powers would suffer heavy losses, they did not want a nuclear war. If that happened, the Federation would very likely be dragged into the abyss of eternal damnation.

This was especially so now that the Federation was facing internal and external problems. The president’s whereabouts were unknown, and there were also the threat of monsters and the holy land. The Federation could not afford to have a nuclear war between the two powers.

At this moment, in the Mountain River Diagram, Chu Yunfan and Tang Siyu sat opposite each other and had no intention of leaving.

He could easily guess that this was the work of the Jiangs. If he left now, with the Jiangs’ ruthlessness, he was afraid that they would go all out and launch a few more nuclear bombs.

After all, they had already fallen out with the Chus, so it didn’t matter.

Before nuclear bombs were launched, deterrence would be the best option. However, once launched, they would become weapons. Once used, there would be a second time. And a third. And more until the problem was dealt with.

Tang Siyu recuperated while Chu Yunfan thought of countermeasures. In terms of strength, he was still too weak.

If outsiders were to know what he was thinking, they would probably find it inconceivable. With his strength, Chu Yunfan could easily defeat an ordinary eighth Innate expert. No matter what, he wasn’t considered weak.

However, the opponents he was going to face—be it the gigantic Jiang family or the so-called seventh divine servant that suddenly appeared—weren’t opponents that he could contend against at the moment.

There were too many experts lurking about in this world.

Through his terminal, Chu Yunfan could see that the internet was buzzing with all kinds of rumors and inferences.

However, everyone seemed to agree with the fact that Chu Yunfan was dead. Under the coverage of nuclear bombs of that level, unless it was a Divine expert, one would find it difficult to escape.

Reading all this, Chu Yunfan was a little curious. He did not know if the seventh divine servant had escaped, but the man was most likely not dead.

When Chu Yunfan entered the Mountain River Diagram, he had felt the fluctuations of a magic tool. The man had most likely used a magic tool to protect himself. If he wasn’t directly hit, the chances of him surviving were very high.

‘Since everyone thinks that I’m dead, it’s just as well. For now, I’ll do my best to increase my strength, and I don’t have to worry about anyone disturbing me!’ Chu Yunfan thought.

The outside world thought that he was already dead. From a certain perspective, this was a good thing. He didn’t have to worry about the Jiangs trying to find trouble with him.

“I’m going to head out to get some medicinal herbs. After I’ve consumed the Innate One Energy Pill, my strength will advance another step,” Chu Yunfan said.

He had already confirmed it. Earlier on, he had already asked Lu Qingxuan to gather the medicinal herbs for him. She should have gathered almost all of them by now.

When Lu Qingxuan received Chu Yunfan’s call, she was both surprised and happy. The world was saying that Chu Yunfan was dead. Even the Jiangs had confirmed the news of Chu Yunfan’s death once again.

There had been a huge mistake previously, but that time was different. Everyone assumed that he was dead. After all, the aura of death around him was so thick that even gods could not save him. However, no one had really seen him die.

But this time, it was confirmed. Even the satellite had confirmed that there was no living creature in that area. No one had walked out of that nuclear attack.

Chu Yunfan was confirmed to be dead.

Lu Qingxuan had been mentally and physically drained over the past few days. The pressure from all sides was so great that she could hardly bear it anymore.

However, just as she was about to throw in the towel, Chu Yunfan suddenly contacted her.

Upon arriving at the secret base established by the Shanhe Alchemy, she finally Chu Yunfan’s face again. Other than her, Chu Yunfan had the highest authority in this secret base.

“Why? Is it strange to see me?” Chu Yunfan said with a smile.

“If I didn’t see the shadow behind you, I would have thought you were a ghost!” Lu Qingxuan said happily.

Lu Qingxuan finally accepted the fact that Chu Yunfan was still alive and well. Her heart felt at ease. Although Chu Yunfan was often absent, he was the core of the company.

“You can rest easy now. Have you prepared the medicinal herbs that I requested?” Chu Yunfan asked.

“Yes, I’ve already prepared them,” Lu Qingxuan replued.

After Chu Yunfan returned, he continuously dipped into the company’s funds. More than half of the profits from the past two years were going to be invested in himself.

“Since you’re not dead, why are you hiding?” Lu Qingxuan asked, a little puzzled.

“Because there are too many people who want to kill me. I’m running out of time,” Chu Yunfan said, “When I come back, I’ll definitely kill them all and turn the world upside down.”

“Then what about your parents?” Lu Qingxuan asked.

“It’s not convenient for me to show my face now. In a few days, find them and tell them that they don’t have to worry.” Chu Yunfan sighed. He felt that he was being very unfilial by making his family worry about him.

However, now that a great enemy was in front of him, he did not have a lot of options.

After leaving Lu Qingxuan with instructions, Chu Yunfan once again disappeared from the secret base. The discussion about the Battle of Mount Tai in the outside world continued to grow.

Especially after the Battle of Mount Tai, the Jiangs and the Chus were at daggers. They became the focus of countless people’s discussions and attention.

At this time, Chu Yunfan began concocting pills in the Mountain River Diagram.
