I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1727 Killing the Ding Clan

The news of the garrison being attacked quickly spread throughout Baotai overnight.

The entire city was calm and collected. People in the hinterland of Grand Xia had fewer chances to encounter the Demon God Sect and would make a fuss. However, these people who had lived on the border since young had been dealing with the Demon God Sect for a long time. Naturally, they were used to it.

However, they saw the heads of more than ten Blood Devils hanging outside the military camp. Many people gasped. One had to know that the monsters of the Demon God Sect were not ordinary people. At the very least, they were above the Abstract Stage.

Abstracts were nothing in the Flying Celestials, but in this border area, Abstracts were considered experts. Now, more than ten of them had been killed in one go, and their heads were hung on poles outside the military camp. It was almost the same as the officers who were killed by Chu Yunfan for failing to meet the deadline.

Soon, all kinds of rumors about the new lieutenant colonel spread. Compared to the previous garrison lieutenant, Chu Yunfan was many times stronger. The deaths of the officers did not seem to affect him at all. On the contrary, it made him even more powerful.

On this day, the gates of the military camp were opened, and squads of soldiers trotted out of the camp. This instantly alarmed the various major factions.

During this period of time, Chu Yunfan was only tidying up his internal affairs and did not come out. From time to time, one would hear the sounds of training, but no one came out of the camp. This made many people unable to spy on them even if they wanted to.

It wasn’t that no one had thought of spying from the air, but who knew that Chu Yunfan would be so sneaky? He took out a few Divinity Breaker Crossbows from the armory in the military camp and shot down those who were spying from the air.

They didn’t even ask why or whose spy it was. They didn’t even bother to ask the reason. Anyone who got close was shot down with the crossbows. Divinity Breaker Crossbows were terrifying weapons that could pierce through an Abstract with a single arrow.

Now, everyone saw these soldiers coming out of the camp. However, they were surprised. Compared to the original soldiers, these soldiers who had been trained by Chu Yunfan for a period were clearly much stronger. Their spirits were completely different, and they looked like elites.

Many people remembered that a few days ago, these soldiers looked like ruffians. They couldn’t help but click their tongues in wonder. They didn’t know that Chu Yunfan actually had the ability to train soldiers.

In Grand Xia, the ability to lead troops in battle was passed down from generation to generation. It was not something that ordinary people could come into contact with. Little did they know that in the Federation, as long as they were willing, many people could come into contact with some knowledge of leading troops to war. After all, the Federation cultivated all-rounded talents in both civil and military affairs, not bookworms. Moreover, Chu Yunfan was one of the best among them, so this matter was naturally not difficult for him.

The leader was naturally Chu Yunfan and his underlings who were riding drakehorses.

“Isn’t that the direction of the Ding clan?” Someone figured out the direction Chu Yunfan and the others were heading in.

The five major forces in the city all had their own bases, each occupying a region. Therefore, they could easily determine that Chu Yunfan was leading his troops in the direction of the Ding clan.

“He can’t be planning to fall out with the Ding clan, right?”

“How dare he!” A scout from the Ding clan was shocked and angry. He quickly sent the news back.

Chu Yunfan didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding from the crowd. He swaggered through the city with his soldiers and headed in the direction of the Ding clan.

All of a sudden, the winds and clouds in Baotai began to gather in the direction of the Ding clan.

“Stop. do you know what this place is?”

Chu Yunfan led his troops to the entrance of the Ding clan’s ancestral land. Immediately, more than ten servants stopped Chu Yunfan at the gates.

When faced with the 300 soldiers behind Chu Yunfan, the servants were not afraid. As servants of the Ding clan, they were used to being arrogant and had no respect for these soldiers.

On the contrary, these soldiers of the garrison army were supposed to work for the Ding clan. They were the high and mighty masters. As for these soldiers, they were just a group of slaves.

Soon, hurried footsteps were heard. Under the lead of a middle-aged man, the clan’s higher-ups came to the door and blocked Chu Yunfan and the others.

“Colonel Chu, do you know what you are doing? Don’t think that just because you’re an official of the Imperial Court, you can trespass into a private residence.” Ding Feng stared at Chu Yunfan.

He had not expected Chu Yunfan to target him directly, leaving him with no time to make a move. Last night, he had secretly contacted the red monsters of the Demon God Sect. No one should have discovered him.

Thinking of this, Ding Feng calmed down. No matter what, no one could have known what he had done, so Chu Yunfan could not have come for this matter. However, he never expected that even though Chu Yunfan didn’t know what he had done, it didn’t stop him from targeting the Ding clan.

What strong dragon does not suppress the local snakes? This rule did not exist here.

“Trespass?” Chu Yunfan said with a faint smile. From atop his drakehorse, he stared down at Ding Cheng. “The Ding clan has been indebted to the king for a long time, but you don’t know how to repay His Majesty or the country. Not only did you take in the deserter, Ding Cheng, but you also dared to hold the Imperial Court’s army captives to be used as slaves. The evidence is conclusive and unpardonable.”

“What?” Ding Feng didn’t expect Chu Yunfan to casually put a big hat on him. Taking in deserters in Grand Xia was a major crime, but usually, there weren’t so many people who cared about such things.

However, once someone started to fuss about it, it would be a big deal. He could have said that he did not know about this matter, but using soldiers of the Imperial Court as slaves led to the unpardonable death penalty.

What did he mean by heinous? If he was caught, he would be beheaded or even exterminated.

The Ding clan treated the soldiers of the garrison army as slaves and ordered them around. This was of course something, but to talk about holding the soldiers captive was pure nonsense. This was because Ding Cheng held the power of the garrison army. With just a word, these soldiers would obediently work for the Ding clan.

“Y-You evil person! What vicious thoughts!” Ding Feng stared at Chu Yunfan as he trembled in anger.
