I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1342 Becoming a Pawn

As for Blood King’s clamor, Chu Yunfan acted as if he didn’t hear it and entered secluded cultivation.

And the Marquis Zhongxin residence stopped their expansion and defended with all their might.

Everyone knew that they were not the ones who would decide the outcome. Even if they expanded their forces to the entire south of Great Wei, if Chu Yunfan was defeated by Blood King, then what they did today would be like a flower in the mirror, a moon on the water.

In fact, no matter how many people they sent out, they would die.

The forces who were fawning over them today would become wolves and pounce on them to tear them into pieces.

At this time, the residence stopped all project. Everything could only be decided after Chu Yunfan came out of seclusion.

During this month, Chu Yunfan and the residence did not respond.

A month later, he came out of seclusion. However, no one knew. Everyone was waiting for Blood King to come out of seclusion three months later.

In their opinion, Blood King would come out of seclusion in three months. That would be the time to decide everything.

On this day, in the residence.

Chu Yunfan was sitting across from the director of the Agency of Secrets. The two of them were discussing the Dao.

“It’s been a long time. I wonder if you’ve found what I asked you to find?” Chu Yunfan said,

“That girl called Tang Siyu. We have already searched the entire Great Wei. I can tell you very responsibly that she is definitely not in Great Wei. Now, we are searching outside Great Wei. However, in the outer realms, our agency’s strength is much weaker. It’s not like in Great Wei where we control everything,” the director slowly said.

Chu Yunfan nodded. This wasn’t the Federation. There was no Internet here. To have managed to investigate the entire country in a month, the power of the agency was already very shocking.

“But you didn’t come to find me today to tell me that you haven’t found her yet, right?” Chu Yunfan asked.

“Of course. I wonder if you’d be interested in Blood King’s whereabouts, Master Chu?” the director said.

Chu Yunfan’s pupils constricted. What he was most concerned about was the whereabouts of Blood King.

Three months from now, Blood King would come out of seclusion. Everyone was waiting for him to appear.

However, how could Chu Yunfan just sit and wait for Blood King to appear?

Though Chu Yunfan’s strength had improved, he would still have no chance of winning against Blood King, who also had in improvement of strength. At most, he would only be able to protect himself. Self-preservation was meaningless to Chu Yunfan.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan had ordered the entire Marquis Zhongxin residence to do their best to find Blood King. It was best to take advantage of the fact that he had yet to break through and wipe him out.

Chu Yunfan wasn’t about to wait for the enemy to be ready before attacking.

Since Blood King was not ready, now was the best time to strike.

Therefore, although it seemed that the entire residence had not made any moves, in truth, all the spies had been sent out in secret. Once they found Blood King, Chu Yunfan would make his move.

But at this time, he discovered that the network of the residence was too weak, and the place where a martial arts expert went into seclusion was often a top secret.

Blood King was not like Mi Siyuan, who had his own base camp. If Blood King had such a base, Chu Yunfan would have charged over long ago. Even if it was as powerful as the Great Formless Sect, so what? It would still be uprooted by Chu Yunfan.

The real problem now was that they couldn’t find him.

Even if the director didn’t come, Chu Yunfan would still choose to look for him.

However, Chu Yunfan never expected that the director would personally come looking for him.

“Why? Do you have any news about him?” Chu Yunfan asked slowly.

“That’s right. As far as I know, he’s currently in seclusion in an extremely secretive valley in Sierra Luanyun. Although his whereabouts are top secret and can be hidden from others, it’s impossible for him to hide from me,” the director said.

With the agency as a behemoth, even an ordinary Core would have to give in to him.

“So, he’s in Sierra Luanyun.”

Chu Yunfan immediately knew where Blood King was. After all, he had been looking at the map of Great Wei a lot recently.

“He really hid himself well. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid it would be very difficult for me to find him.

“But why did you help me? This matter shouldn’t have anything to do with you. Why did you choose to wade into this muddy water?” Chu Yunfan asked.

He began to doubt the director’s purpose. After all, everyone knew that the director was loyal to the emperor of Great Wei.

Everyone knew that this matter involved the second prince, so he should know about it. However, if he were to get involved so rashly, wouldn’t he be afraid of offending the second prince?

“Everyone knows that this matter is related to the second prince, right? Are you planning to fall out with the second prince?”

This was what he found the strangest. With the agency’s status, even the second prince would choose to curry favor with the agency before he ascended the throne. At the very least, he would not let a behemoth like the agency fall to his opponent.

“Sharp as ever, Master Chu. Since you’ve asked, I’ll tell you the truth.”

The director glanced at Chu Yunfan and knew that Chu Yunfan was suspicious. If he did not have a reasonable explanation, Chu Yunfan would not believe him.

“Although the second prince has a wide network in the court and has an extremely large influence, there are many people who don’t like him,” the director said, “As for why I’m involved, to be honest, it’s because they’re exploiting a weakness I have. I have no choice but to help them.”

Chu Yunfan was a little surprised. The director had actually confessed to this extent. He even revealed that they were blackmailing him.

However, he understood in the blink of an eye. This was to win Chu Yunfan’s trust, and the most important thing was who was behind him that could force the director to make such a decision.

He thought about it for a moment and understood that there were probably many people who wanted the second prince dead. The struggle for the throne had always been extremely bloody.

The second prince making a name for himself by killing Atela was clearly not something that many people did not want to see. It was as if Atela had become a pawn in someone’s hand, and Chu Yunfan had become a pawn in someone else’s to kill Atela.

But this time, Chu Yunfan was willing to be that pawn.
