Chapter 1408 - 1408 The Soaring Power
1408 The Soaring Power
At Conglong, in the back garden of the Marquis Zhongxin residence. Chu Yunfan sat on the stone bench and sipped on cups of tea. His face revealed a peaceful expression.
He had already unleashed all his potential. Although he seemed to be invincible and looked a majestic sight in the battle against Ye Fei, easily killing him and the thirty-six other Cores, he had to perform at his very best and had gained many insights.
Before long, he would be able to gather all the divine power in his body into his meridian and turn it into a Void Core. The Great golden core Path was right in front of him. Although he was still far from the golden core, he had to eat one bite at a time and build his foundation piece by piece, so he was not in a hurry. When his cultivation entered the Void Core Stage, there was no doubt that his combat strength would completely surpass the Void Core Stage and reach another level.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard as a figure appeared in front of him. It was none other than Wei Wuya.
The prince’s face was filled with fatigue and excitement. He hadn’t rested for the past few days and nights. As a higher-up, he had too many things to arrange: the reward for the 300 thousand rebel soldiers, the rewards and treatment of the dead and wounded, and the treatment and reorganization of the million captives. After all, he could not leave this million soldiers alone. To find a place to imprison them was impossible, so the best method was to integrate them into his own army.
This was very difficult in itself. He had to disrupt the original organization and insert his own people. He also had to prevent the million strong army from exploding and rebelling. Apart from that, he had to meet and appease the loyalists from the various factions one by one.
Originally, Wei Wuya was worried that no one was willing to join him. Other than the Chu clan, who was tied to the chariot, the other forces were all watching. No one stood up to support him.
However, his problem now was that he had too many factions wanting to join him, and he could not appease them at all. In the end, he could only meet them one by one instead of meeting them in groups.
Wei Wuya had been busy for a few days and nights before he was finally finished. He had to deal with every single one of these matters personally. Even though he was at the upper stage of the Divine Abilities Stage, he was exhausted.
However, even though he was exhausted, he felt extremely excited at this moment. He had never felt this way before. Everyone had to kneel at his feet and let him make the decisions. This was the taste of power.
It was like the sweetest poison that could make people addicted.
Fortunately, Wei Wuya had not lost his mind. He knew who was the one who had really established everything—Chu Yunfan.
“I’m finally done with my work. I haven’t had the time to visit you for the past few days. I hope you will forgive me, Master Chu.” Wei Wuya clasped his hands in greeting and sat opposite of Chu Yunfan.
After not seeing Wei Wuya for a few days, he now had the bearing of a true king. However, this was to be expected. The so-called bearing and aura could only be nurtured after being in a high position for a long time, not born. Although he was originally a prince, he was a prince who was not favored. It was impossible for him to cultivate the demeanor of a king in a high position.
“It’s fine. I haven’t congratulated you yet, Your Highness.” Chu Yunfan didn’t mind and just smiled.
At this point, Wei Wuya couldn’t help but smile too. Although he didn’t accept some people’s suggestion to immediately ascend the throne, in order to make himself seem legitimate, he self-proclaimed himself as regent.
He then became the rightful regent, completely different from his previous identity.
However, Wei Wuya could be arrogant in front of others, but he did not dare to show off in front of Chu Yunfan. He knew that all of this was built on Chu Yunfan’s persistence. If Chu Yunfan said that he did not support him, his current power would collapse on the spot. After all, he had to rely on Chu Yunfan to force the million strong army to surrender and obtain the support of countless forces.
“Master Chu, you must be joking. All of this is because of you. I would never forget it,” Wei Wuya hurriedly said.
Chu Yunfan smiled but didn’t say anything. Wei Wuya then said, “I’ve already issued a decree to confer Marquis Zhongxin the title of Duke Zhongxin, a first-class duke. Once the great cause of purging the court is completed, I will confer the new Marquis Zhongxin the title of ‘King Chu.’ What do you think, Master Chu?”
As Wei Wuya spoke, he carefully glanced at Chu Yunfan. He knew that Chu Yunfan wasn’t interested in these things, but he should be satisfied with the title of the Chu clan.
As expected, Chu Yunfan nodded with a smile and said, “Then I’ll thank Your Highness on behalf of the residence.”
Although he wasn’t interested in these things, the matriarch would be very pleased to hear this news. It could also be considered as repaying the Chu clan for taking him in.
“What are you talking about? This is the reward for being courageous,” Wei Wuya hurriedly said, “If it weren’t for the help of Marquis Zhongxin, I would be even busier!”
Wei Wuya couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air as he thought of so many things. Fortunately, with the full help of the Chu clan, he barely managed to settle the matter in a few days.
“Now that we have defeated the Imperial Army, we should be able to march into the Imperial Capital,” Wei Wuya said.
Right now, his position as regent was self-proclaimed and didn’t count. Only when he invaded the capital and became the legitimate ruler of Great Wei would everything count. Now that he had finally managed to reorganize the million strong army, he could not wait to invade the Imperial Capital and change the dynasty.
He now understood why Chu Yunfan had said that no matter what the problem was, as long as he won, it could be completely covered up. Chu Yunfan didn’t even bother to deal with the problems he had in the past. After winning this battle, all the problems were solved.
All problems were nothing in front of a super victory. By the time he took down the Imperial Capital, the problems he faced now were nothing.
“Indeed,” Chu Yunfan said as he nodded, ” This is a good opportunity. If this drags on, the Imperial Court will continue to recruit troops from all over the country. It will only prolong the war and damage the entire country.””
“That is as well, but I’m afraid that Yun Huang’s Monster Subduer Sect might make a move now.” Wei Wuya’s face was filled with worry.
Yun Huang’s reputation was not something that Ye Fei could compare to. In fact, Yu Huang was already a world-renowned top expert even before Ye Fei debuted. Though Chu Yunfan displayed shocking strength, it did not give Wei Wuya the slightest sense of security.
