Chapter 898 - 898 An Understatement
898 An Understatement
With Wei Hai’s tragic death, the siege of the Tangs was finally resolved.
However, the impact of this battle was just starting to show.
Although Chu Yunfan had killed Divine experts before, they were all newbies. None of the people who besieged the Tangs were newbies.
Moreover, they were all very strong. Any one of them was strong enough to wipe out those Chu Yunfan had fought previously. But now, he had killed them all.
And they weren’t any long, drawn-out battles. They were instant kills. When those people went up against Chu Yunfan, they were simply tortured to death.
It had only been a year, but in this one year, Chu Yunfan’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds. In terms of strength, he might not be considered invincible, but in terms of potential, he was terrifying.
Even Tang Siyu, who had entered the Divine Abilities Stage before Chu Yunfan, did not hold such a high position in the hearts of the people. And the reason was simple.
In their eyes, although Tang Siyu was a genius about the same age as Chu Yunfan and had already entered the Divine Abilities Stage, in terms of actual threat, she was far less than Chu Yunfan.
Although Tang Siyu had shown her amazing combat power and severely injured Ghost Granny, she was still not as powerful as Chu Yunfan, who had easily killed Ghost Granny, Qingyan, and Wei Hai.
They did not know that with her current physique, Tang Siyu’s speed of cultivation was far beyond their imagination. Though she was not as good as Chu Yunfan, she was now one of the top masters of the world.
In their eyes, the most threatening person was naturally Chu Yunfan. And the most terrifying thing was that he had yet to enter the Divine Abilities Stage. Once he did, how many would be able to go up against him? It was simply unimaginable.
Moreover, Chu Yunfan was completely different from all the other experts they had known before. It was like he had no concept of mercy.
Not a single one of those who attacked him had survived. They were all killed.
This kind of person was the most terrifying. He didn’t care about rules or relationships. Anyone who was his enemy would have to consider carefully whether they would die if they went against him.
‘There’s going to be another unparalleled expert in the world,’ the leaders of the major forces thought.
After killing Wei Hai, Qingyan, and Ghost Granny, Chu Yunfan withdrew his divine power. Under Tang Siyu’s lead, he and Chu Haoyue entered the guest hall within the depths of the Tang ancestral home.
At this time, the Tang clan’s morale was high. Now that Tang Siyu had entered the Divine Abilities Stage, the Tangs once again had a guardian. For the Tangs, which were still in a precarious situation, it was undoubtedly a stabilizing force.
Moreover, Tang Siyu was still young—only in her early twenties. Her future was limitless. The clan leaders of the other families were already old, so how could they compare with Tang Siyu?
It was just a matter of time. After a few decades, Tang Siyu would probably be the top master of the world. As for the other Eight Greats—except for the Chus—the clan leaders of all the families were already old and might not be able to survive for a few decades.
The Tang clan’s future glory could be predicted. Her strength was the greatest practical benefit to the people of her family.
“Congratulations. The Federation has gained two more Divine experts after my short trip. It’s great news,” Chu Yunfan said with a faint smile as he sat on the throne in the main hall.
Although they had relied on his Divinity Nourishment Pill, their breakthroughs were just like pushing the boat with the current. Chu Haoyue’s cultivation was a little lacking, while Tang Siyu had the special Arcane Sky Spirit Physique. In fact, if she cultivated naturally, she could step into this level in less than two years. That would have been equally as shocking.
“I have to thank you for this. Otherwise, I might not have the chance to reach this level in this lifetime,” Chu Haoyue said with a smile.
He wasn’t spouting nonsense. He knew that with his talent, it would be very difficult for him to reach the Divine Abilities Stage without any special encounters.
“That’s not necessarily true. The Federation is getting stronger and stronger. It’s an undeniable fact that it’s improving all the time. It took luck to enter the Innate Stage more than two hundred years ago, and it’s not much different from today’s breakthrough into the Divine Abilities Stage.
“Now, there are countless martial artists who enter the Innate Stage every year. With the Federation’s current speed of development, it’s only a matter of time before it completes its path. Sooner or later, it will breed the Divines and become the same as Innates.” Chu Yunfan, on the other hand, had a completely different opinion.
With the Federation’s development speed, sooner or later, more and more people would enter the Divine Abilities Stage. It then wouldn’t be as difficult as it was now.
“How did you escape?” Chu Haoyue asked after a pause.
“Escape?” Chu Yunfan’s mouth twitched. “I didn’t escape. I left after killing them all.”
“How is that possible?” Chu Haoyue was in complete disbelief. “I heard that even the Monster Cult’s sect master went to ambush you!”
This was the reason why Chu Haoyue thought that Chu Yunfan might not be able to return. If he were to go up against others, Chu Yunfan would still have some chance of winning. But against the Monster Cult’s sect master, Chu Yunfan simply had no chance of winning.
Initially, Chu Haoyue’s understanding of these things was only limited to the surface. Before he entered the Divine Abilities Stage, he lacked knowledge of many things. But after stepping into this field, he understood how shallow his previous thoughts were.
There were also strong and weak people in the Divine Abilities Stage, and the difference was very big. In addition to the president, who was publicly acknowledged as the world’s number one expert, the Monster Cult sect master was also publicly acknowledged as one of the strongest experts in the world.
The Monster Cult sect master had long stepped into the fourth tier of the Divine Abilities Stage and was unrivaled throughout the world. Even if he encountered an expert of his level, let alone Chu Yunfan who was only at the Innate Stage, his opponent would probably die.
Divine elites were difficult to kill, but not impossible.
Especially Chu Yunfan, who had demonstrated it with his own hands. Once one’s strength reached a certain level, it was not difficult to kill Divine experts.
“What a pity. I wanted to attract the Jiang Great Ancestor, but instead of him, the Monster Cult sect master showed up,” Chu Yunfan said with a hint of regret in his voice. “What’s even more unfortunate is that I only injured him and was unable to make him stay. It won’t be easy to have such a good opportunity again.”
Chu Haoyue stared at Chu Yunfan speechlessly. Chu Yunfan spoke so casually as if the sect master was just an unknown small character. But everyone knew what kind of person the sect master was. That was not something to be trifled with.
“You actually severely injured the Monster Cult’s sect master? Once this news gets out, I’m afraid everyone will be in an uproar!”
