I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1411 The Imperial Capital Surrenders, Victory

Chu Yunfan said this without hesitation. Facing the challenge from Yun Huang, he had no intention of retreating and directly agreed.

Yun Huang lacked a worthy opponent, but so did he.

Now, Chu Yunfan’s combat strength was already at the peak of the Void Core Stage. In Great Wei, it was difficult to find a match for him. Previously, whether it was Ye Fei or the First Guardian, they were not his match at all.

Yun Huang served as a rare opponent for him.

Because of the aura he released, Chu Yunfan guessed that Yun Huang was an expert who had already surpassed the Void Core Stage and had already firmly reached the Core Form Stage!

In the Core Stage, there were three major stages. The first stage was the Void Core Stage. As the name suggested, it was to gather all the mana in the body and turn it into a Void Core in the meridians.

This was just a phantom of the golden core and could only be considered the first step. After that, it was the Core Form Stage. Experts in this level would begin to try to turn the illusory core into a solid core. This realm was the Core Form Stage.

At this stage, the meridian would begin to have a physical body. It was not like before, where it was just a phantom, or rather, it was just a meridian that existed in concept. And their combat strength would undergo an earth-shattering change along with this process. It could be said that theses were existences that completely surpassed the peak Void Core Stage.

Although Yun Huang was not the strongest in the Core Form Stage, and Chu Yunfan could even sense that he had just broken through not long ago, facing Void Cores and Core Formers were completed different.

That was why Yun Huang sighed with emotion. Invincibility was a kind of loneliness.

After breaking through to the Core Form Stage, whether it was Ye Fei or the First Guardian, they were no match for him. The two sides were not on the same level at all. Similarly, if Great Wei’s Imperial Court could be said to have a certain degree of deterrence against Void Cores, then to Core Formers, the country as a unit no longer had any deterrence.

At the very least, a country at the level of Great Wei was not a threat to a Core Former at all.

Core Formers were much stronger than Void Cores. Moreover, their golden cores had already formed a physical body. As the saying went, if one swallowed a golden core, their fate would be in their own hands. Even if he was surrounded by 100 thousand Blood Barbarians, an existence of this level could easily kill them. There was nothing to be afraid of.

It was laughable that the emperor wanted to control such a high-level expert and make him work for him. Wasn’t that a joke? There was no such possibility.

The Void Core Stage and the Core Form Stage were two completely different concepts. They were far more powerful than one could imagine.

That was why Yun Huang could completely ignore the words of the emperor. He did not even care about offending the emperor because it did not matter.

And now, Chu Yunfan’s cultivation level was at the peak of the Divine Abilities Stage, while his combat strength was at the peak of the Void Core Stage. Once he broke through to the peak Void Core Stage, his combat strength would also improve. At that time, he would have the strength to fight Yun Huang.

Chu Yunfan felt his blood boiling at the thought of fighting a strong enemy. It had been a long time since he felt this way.

“Good lad. You actually dare to go to my sect? I’m really impressed by you!” Yun Huang exclaimed.

Everyone understood why—they all knew that the Monster Subduers was Yun Huang’s territory. It could be said that he had the geographical advantage and commanded the people in the Monster Subduers.

In a war, the right time, the right place, and the right people were important. In a battle between warriors, the right time, the right place, and the right people were also important. And in the Monster Subduers, Yun Huang’s geographical advantage would be maximized.

Chu Yunfan chose to personally find the Demon Subduers, which was undoubtedly giving up the geographical advantage. At the same time, this was also a reflection of his confidence. If he wasn’t confident enough, he wouldn’t have dared to do this. It was because of this that Yun Huang looked at Chu Yunfan in a different light.

“I hope that you really have such strength and are not boasting,” Yun Huang said indifferently.

“Whether or not I have such strength, we’ll see in three months,” Chu Yunfan said slowly.

“Very well, then I’ll wait for you to come to the Monster Subduers.” Yun Huang nodded. “You may proceed. Just don’t cause any more suffering.”

After saying that, Yun Huang stepped on a ray of light and disappeared from the spot. Everyone was dumbfounded. Was it over just like that?

The collision that many people were secretly anticipating had ended just like that?

The experts in the rebellion heaved a sigh of relief. As for the forces on the Imperial Capital’s side, they were all pounding their chests. They had not expected Yun Huang to be so unreliable and deceitful.

From the conversation between the two parties, it was not difficult to deduce that Chu Yunfan’s strength was probably a level lower than the current Yun Huang. If Yun Huang was willing to make a move, Chu Yunfan would probably be defeated and they could turn the situation around.

Who knew that Yun Huang would just make a so-called opponent and let Chu Yunfan go?

As for the possibility of Chu Yunfan being defeated by Yun Huang three months later, it had nothing to do with them. After three months, everything would have been settled. Everything in Great Wei would be over by then.

They simply couldn’t stop Chu Yunfan in his current state. Originally, the defense of the Imperial Capital could stop the Jinzhanghan from moving south for more than a year. But now, they did not have enough people, and they did not have the slightest confidence in facing Chu Yunfan’s fierce attack.

“Yun Huang is unreliable!”

“How could this be? Yun Huang is so treacherous!”

“It’s over… It’s over!”

On the contrary, the morale of the rebellion army was greatly boosted. Victory was right in front of them.

Suddenly, just as Wei Wuya was about to give the order to attack the Imperial Capital, a white flag was raised. Everyone was dumbfounded. The Imperial Capital had surrendered.

In the beginning, no one believed it. They all thought it was a trap. However, they soon realized that this was not a trap. They really had surrendered.

The defenders of the Imperial City walked out and surrendered one after another. Soon, they got the whole story from the surrendering guards. It was the emperor who had personally issued an imperial edict, asking them to surrender to the army outside the city. The defenders in the city did not have much morale, so they naturally went along with the flow and left the city to surrender. Even the most stubborn of them did not have the slightest intention of resisting.

Even the emperor had surrendered. What was the need for them to fight to the death?
