I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1445 Chu Yunfan Appears, Frightening Everyone

Everyone relaxed upon finding out that Nine Stars’ old sect master would participate in this battle.

Ordinary people did not understand the difference between the Void Core Stage and the Core Form Stage, but Cores did. One could not simply calculate it with reason.

Nine Stars’ members thought Chu Yunfan would die after meeting their old master.

“I didn’t expect Nine Stars’ old master to be alive. Wasn’t there a rumor stating he had died?”

“That’s right. The old master entrusted his position to the current master a hundred years ago. Nine Stars’ old master was already old at that time. I didn’t expect him to reappear.”

“Nine Stars is terrifying. They have more than two Core Formers guarding them.”

“What’s going on with Nine Stars’ old master? Why didn’t he appear in the battle against Jian Wuchen earlier?”

Everyone felt they had won and were much more relaxed, so they discussed in low voices. Their chances of winning were much higher with the old master’s help. They did not even need to rush to the front lines. Also, it should reduce the probability of casualties.

Someone asked, “When will the old master arrive?”

Deputy Master Zhang looked at the person and said, “He’s already here. He’ll appear when the time is ripe. However, we can’t alert the enemy. It won’t be good if Jian Wuchen gets wind of it and gets scared off. After all, he’s as timid as a mouse.”

He burst into laughter, and others followed suit. It was as if Chu Yunfan was just as Deputy Master Zhang said, easing the previously tense atmosphere. Most of Nine Stars’ members were overjoyed and relieved.

“What if Jian Wuchen doesn’t dare to show up?” someone asked, causing the others to be on tenterhooks again. If that happened, they would have made so many preparations for nothing.

“Don’t worry. Jian Wuchen won’t live up to his legend if he doesn’t dare to show up. Then, everyone will finally understand how overrated he is. His life will be difficult then.”

Deputy Master Zhang sneered and continued, “Our current master will deal with Jian Wuchen when he has time. Also, Jian Wuchen offended the Mysteries Pavilion. If he moves a few more times, it’ll be challenging for him to hide the news.”

Everyone thought about it and agreed. It would be a good thing if Chu Yunfan did not show up. In that case, Nine Stars’ old master would take action and save the clan their efforts.

“Hmph, Jian Wuchen will die for even daring to provoke us. Still, I want him to stay alive for a while longer.” Deputy Master Zhang smirked. “No one needs to worry about today’s alliance meeting. If Jian Wuchen dares not appear, forget it. If he does, this will be his grave.”

Everyone’s mood improved, and their discussions became heated. Most started discussing how to get the powerful secret from Chu Yunfan after they killed him.

Chu Yunfan was formidable and had a mysterious background. Most people suspected he had many secrets. They even began discussing sharing his secret with others.

Suddenly, a young man dressed in black clothes pulled a Mount Sky disciple and asked, “Excuse me, where’s your master? I must talk to him.”

The disciple felt dissatisfied when the person pulled him. The former impatiently said, “What do you want?! Are you blind? Don’t you know we’re amid an alliance to deal with Jian Wuchen?!”

“I know.” The young man grinned with a sunny smile.

“Then why are you wasting your breath? I don’t care who you are. Do you think you can meet my master just because you want to?” the Mount Sky disciple said proudly.

Mount Sky had been cowardly and even had to join forces with other sects to deal with Chu Yunfan since he was a formidable opponent.

Mount Sky’s master was a high and mighty figure to ordinary people, but the young man seemed ignorant.

The young man in black clothing grinned and said, “Isn’t Mount Sky’s master someone I can meet whenever I want? I think that should be possible. You said you’re allying to fight Jian Wuchen, right? What a coincidence. I’m Jian Wuchen.”

“Even if you have the same name, you can’t… What do you mean you’re Jian Wuchen?!” The Mount Sky disciple screamed. He did not get it initially but quickly flinched and looked at Chu Yunfan in horror.

During this period, lower-level disciples knew Chu Yunfan as a murderous demon. After all, he could quickly eradicate sects, making him a terrifying existence.

The higher-ups knew he had a sense of decency and did not kill the innocent. However, those of lower levels had strange sources of information. After the continuous transmission of information, the news changed.

Chu Yunfan had long become a grim reaper to certain folk. What the disciple least expected was for Chu Yunfan to appear before him so nonchalantly.

The disciple thought of the many legends about Chu Yunfan and became so frightened that he almost fainted. He felt like Chu Yunfan could eat him alive.

Meanwhile, the others were also scared out of their wits. The initially lively atmosphere turned dead silent. No one expected Chu Yunfan to appear and mingle among them.

Everyone considered that he must have heard them speaking ill of him and trembled despite themselves. They feared he would kill them with his sword. The whole place instantly fell so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone paled in fear but dared not try to escape. Their legs would not listen to them even if they tried.

Chu Yunfan touched his face and felt a little depressed. ‘Am I that scary?’

Although Jian Wuchen’s features were slightly sharper than his actual self, he had not shifted into a monster. He had never considered the countless rumors about him frightening ordinary people. After all, rumors stopped at the wise, but there were too few wise men.

Immediately after, news of his appearance spread from Mount Sky’s depths to atop the mountain, and a furious roar came from it, “Jian Wuchen?! Where is he?!”
