Chapter 2011 - 2011 Promotion, Marquis Zhenyuan
2011 Promotion, Marquis Zhenyuan
Chu Yunfan was naturally dissatisfied when he saw the miserable state of the army. However, he knew that the Flying Celestials would not fight with the Li clan over a dead person. If that happened, the Flying Celestials would be enemies with the entire world.
But now that he was still alive, the situation was completely different. The Flying Celestials naturally could not just watch as the Li clan targeted him and did nothing.
“It’s time for you to move!”
Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Yunfan’s mind. Just as Chu Yunfan returned to Baotai and cleaned up the various forces of the Li clan in the city, everyone was waiting to see if Grand Xia would punish Chu Yunfan for doing such a thing. However, to everyone’s surprise, Grand Xia turned a blind eye to this scene. Many sharp people sensed the inner workings hidden behind this.
On the third day, the notice from Grand Xia finally arrived. To everyone’s surprise, this was an imperial edict from the king of Grand Xia. Not only was Chu Yunfan fine, but on the contrary, because he had killed many foreign races and demonic cultivators, he had been promoted to Marquis Zhenyuan.
Chu Yunfan was to become the only marquis of the younger generation!
Originally, Li Qianyuan was the one-word marquis of the younger generation, but he had died at Chu Yunfan’s hands. Therefore, Chu Yunfan, who was conferred the title of Marquis Zhenyuan, became the only marquis of the younger generation and was above everyone.
For a while, this caused a huge commotion in Grand Xia. It was said that the Li clan had sent people to the palace to meet the king, hoping that he would retract the decree. However, it was obvious that the Li clan could not shake the will of the king, and the decree to confer Chu Yunfan the title of Marquis Zhenyuan was still issued.
For a moment, Chu Yunfan was in the limelight and became the only marquis among the younger generation. It was not difficult for the geniuses of the younger generation to become marquises. As long as these geniuses on the Prodigy List did not die, becoming marquises was almost certain. This was how a military family like the Li clan was formed. Generations of descendants were constantly conferred marquis titles, and the power they slowly accumulated was shocking.
However, just like when Li Qianyuan was the only one who had been conferred the title of marquis, it was already a very remarkable thing to be the first to do it. After all, to become a marquis wasn’t just about having enough contributions. The power behind it also needed to be constantly working. When Li Qianyuan was granted the title of Marquis Huntian, it was a shock. The Crown Prince’s forces were constantly working behind him, which led to Li Qianyuan’s title.
Now that Chu Yunfan had become a marquis, the power behind him was unquestionable. Everyone knew that it was the Flying Celestials. With the strength of the Flying Celestials, it was not difficult for them to make a person a marquis. Many of the Grand Elders in the Flying Celestials also had titles of nobility.
Not to mention, Chu Yunfan’s military exploits were real. He had killed many high-stage Creators. Killing a few of them was enough for an ordinary person to be awarded the title of marquis. Chu Yunfan had killed hundreds of high-stage Creators along with the demons and the Demon God Sect in one breath. This credit was simply earth-shattering. Not to mention being invincible among the younger generation, even among the older generation of experts, this glory was very rare.
These high-stage Creators were usually the tycoons of a region. They controlled countless forces and would not easily gather together. Only by targeting Chu Yunfan could these top experts who were usually far apart gather together. This was a prerequisite that ordinary people would not dare to imagine, let alone being surrounded by so many experts. It was simply a dead end. It was already very difficult to escape with one life, let alone kill them. It was simply impossible to kill all these experts. If Chu Yunfan had a protector by his side, even the protector would have fallen. There were too many conditions required. In other words, these were things that only Chu Yunfan could do. No one else could do it. They didn’t even dare to think about it.
Even the number of Creators that many of the Flying Celestials’ senior elders had killed in their entire lives was not even half of the number that Chu Yunfan had killed in these two battles. With so many heads as a contribution, Chu Yunfan’s promotion was naturally a matter of course.
There was even news that Chu Yunfan wasn’t just going to be conferred the title of Marquis Zhenyuan, but also the title of one-word marquis. However, the Crown Prince’s faction fought to the death to stop this.
This news was enough to shock everyone.
one-word marquises were different from two-word marquises like Marquis Zhenyuan. The number of outstanding nobles who were conferred the title of one-word marquis was only one-tenth of the number of two-word marquises. Generally speaking, only those who had made great contributions could be conferred the title of one-word marquis.
Most of the existing one-word marquises were conferred during the founding of the country. They were not comparable to two-word marquises. Although Chu Yunfan didn’t get the title in the end, just being nominated was already amazing.
Chu Yunfan was so young. Although he was currently a two-word marquis, he had a great chance of becoming a one-word marquis in the future. Thinking of this, many people looked at Chu Yunfan in a completely different way. Chu Yunfan could not even be considered a potential stock at this time because he had completely displayed his talent.
Chu Yunfan’s fief was in Baotai. It could be said that Baotai had been completely granted to Chu Yunfan. From then on, Chu Yunfan could have half of all the profits of Baotai. This was an astronomical amount of wealth that could be used as a family heirloom.
Baotai was in a state of jubilation, especially the External Army. Chu Yunfan had returned and avenged them in one fell swoop. Not only was he not blamed by the Imperial Court, but he was even conferred the title of Marquis Zhenyuan, becoming a noble.
However, along with the imperial edict, other than the seal and robe of the Marquis Zhenyuan, there was also an imperial edict for Chu Yunfan to report to the capital. This was different from when he was promoted to External General. This time, after he was made a marquis, Chu Yunfan would go to the Imperial Capital to meet the current king and report his work to him.
When Chu Yunfan thought of meeting one of the top masters in the world, the king, even though Chu Yunfan’s heart had long been calm, he could not help but feel a little excited. After receiving the imperial edict, Chu Yunfan did not delay and immediately used a teleportation portal to head to the Imperial Capital.
