Chapter 2072: The Happenings of the Last Ten Years

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

You Chuyun invited Chu Yunfan to the main seat, then stood still and reported about the External Army’s development over the past ten years.

With the illustrious reputation Chu Yunfan left behind, You Chuyun and Chu Hongcai then stepped into the Cosmos Stage one after another.

A Cosmic could become an elder or a true disciple in the Flying Celestials. They could be considered a member of the upper echelons.

In theory, they could lead the army independently, but neither of them did. They stayed in the army.

As a result, the resources that the two of them could have obtained had also flowed to the External Army. After years of continuous development, the army had long become the mainstay on the human-demon battlefield.

Afterward, the army expanded again and again. In addition to You Chuyun, there were also several Cosmics. They were all people who followed him and Chu Yunfan back then. With the secret manuals that Chu Yunfan had left behind, these people were quite talented, so they all entered the Cosmos Stage one after another.

These were all peerless secret manuals that could not be bought with money outside. It required the experience of people to be accumulated from generation to generation.

During this process, the army gradually expanded to 100,000 people and became an independent legion. The position of the legion commander had always been vacant, reserved for Chu Yunfan.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Chu Yunfan had already fallen. It was only

because the entire army of the External Army insisted that Chu Yunfan had not fallen that they gave up.

Zhenyuan City’s size had also expanded again and again in this process. In just a dozen years, the original outskirts had become the inner city, and the size of the main city had expanded by more than three times.

On the other hand, the External Army’s soldier quality had also improved. More than half of them had already entered the Abstract Stage. They could be considered a very elite army and were famous among the nearby races.

All the other races had basically fled when they saw the army’s flag.

Chu Yunfan nodded in satisfaction. “Well done. Thank you for handling things while I wasn’t around for all these years. It’s all thanks to you that the External Army has reached this stage!’

“This is the foundation you left behind, Marquis Chu,” You Chuyun hurriedly said, “l wouldn’t have been able to do this on my own!”

You Chuyun had not been blinded by what he had. He naturally understood that the reason why he could do all this was because of Chu Yunfan. If he were to take over the army alone, he would not be able to suppress the various leaders it had.

Even the defenders of Baotai back then could have given him a hard time.

Not to mention that his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. Before this, it would’ve been almost impossible!

His greatest hope in this life was to enter the Cosmos Stage. Now that he had reached his dreams and become one of those true disciples, there was naturally nothing to be dissatisfied about.

You Chuyun said, “The pressure from all sides has been increasing over the years. Fortunately, you have returned, Marquis Chu.”

He wasn’t spouting nonsense, but as time passed, Chu Yunfan never showed his face again. Many people had long suspected that he was definitely dead, or else it wouldn’t be like this.

There were countless people who coveted the External Army as if it were a big cake, all wanting to reach their hands out. A few years ago, Chu Yunfan’s reputation could intimidate a region. In the later stages, it was basically the reputation brought by the newly risen Chu Hongcai that suppressed the evil hands.

Otherwise, the entire army would have changed hands long ago.

Fortunately, Chu Yunfan had returned, and You Chuyun finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He quickly said, “I’ll tell everyone the good news right now!”

Chu Yunfan shook his head and said, “Don’t tell anyone about this. I don’t want anyone to know that I’m back for the time being. You have to keep it a secret for me for a while!”

Chu Yunfan knew that his return would be exposed sooner or later, but before that, it was best to stall for time. At least now was not the time to tell the news.

He had to seize this time to cultivate and improve his cultivation to the Arcana Stage. By then, he would be able to fight Jun Tianci, who had been here for more than ten years.

“I understand!” You Chuyun quickly nodded. Although he didn’t know why, he still followed Chu Yunfan’s advice.

“What happened after I went into seclusion all these years?” Chu Yunfan said.

You Chuyun paused for a moment before telling Chu Yunfan everything that had happened over the years. Only then did Chu Yunfan know that after he left, the world was in turmoil, and it was not inferior to when he was around.

When he had just entered seclusion, almost everyone in the world believed that he had already died. The Mysteries Pavilion could not calculate Chu Yunfan’s whereabouts at all, not even a little bit of information.

On the other hand, the Flying Celestials were furious. It could be said that Jun Tianci’s actions against Chu Yunfan had exceeded the limits of what the sect could tolerate.

The two great sects had once clashed intensely outside of Grand Xia!

The Destiny Sect definitely wouldn’t lower their heads and admit that they had done something wrong, much less hand over Jun Tianci to be punished by the Flying Celestials.

As for the Flying Celestials, Chu Yunfan had suffered countless assassinations, including from Jun Tianci, a top genius of the previous generation.

If the Flying Celestials appeared weak now, who would dare to join their sect in the future? They would probably take a detour when they saw the Flying Celestials’ signboard.

Both sects had reasons to not back down. All kinds of fierce conflicts and collisions had been going on outside Grand Xia for three years. Due to this, both sides suffered heavy casualties and even infuriated the empire. Thus, Grand Xia’s Grand Commandant personally came to pay a visit, and only then did the two sects turn their hostility into friendship and stop fighting each other in the outer regions.

However, everyone knew that this was just a temporary hibernation between the two sides. The three-year battle had caused heavy losses to them. Moreover, the Grand Commandant had personally intervened, so both sides had no choice but to give face.

However, this battle had also shaken the world. All the major forces had seen how terrifying the situation would be if the ten great sects were enraged.

After the Flying Celestials temporarily calmed down and accepted the fact that Chu Yunfan had died, another party joined the battle against the Destiny Sect.

It was Serene Immortal Mountain.

Although they were nothing to a colossus like the Destiny Sect, it was guarded by a top-notch expert like the Elder Princess.

Even if they weren’t from the top ten sects, no one dared to underestimate their existence..
