1016 Clouds Moving in From All Sides, the Eye of the Storm
“Right, who is this Mr. Chu?” the first elder of the Wei clan asked.
According to what Xu Long and Zhou Buyi said, it was obvious that Mr. Chu who suddenly appeared was not an ordinary person. He must be an expert among experts.
Even Li Tao, who had entered tier eight of the Divine Abilities Stage, had been defeated by the other party. Even as the first elder of the Wei clan, he had to pay attention to such an expert.
“We can’t find any information about him. It’s like he suddenly fell from the sky. We can’t find anything,” Zhou Buyi shook his head.
During this time, they had already done their best to find out Mr. Chu’s background. But in the end, they could not find any information. Therefore, the only source of information they could find was that Lin Chenxi had picked up Chu Yunfan.
They couldn’t find any more than that.
“This is getting interesting,” the first elder said in a playful manner, “According to logic, it was impossible for someone to appear out of thin air. That does not make sense.”
He believed that Xu Long and Zhou Buyi wouldn’t dare to lie to him, so there must be a big problem with Mr. Chu’s background.
After all, even in the Holy Land, there were not many who could kill a tier-eight Divine in seconds.
Chu Yunfan was one of the rarest people—one of the top few.
“What should we do now? Order Tianhe to hand over control of the mine immediately?” Zhou Buyi asked the first elder.
“It’s too late. If we had done that earlier, there would have been no problem. Now that the news has been leaked, if we do that, the other forces will definitely not restrain themselves like they are now. They will surely follow up immediately.” the first elder frowned.
“The Sky Breakers, the Divine Maidens, and the Azure Dragons are like dogs. They have sharp noses. But this is good. Let them go and check out the situation first.”
The first elder tapped his fingers on the armrest and said after a moment of thought.
“But won’t they get there before us?” Zhou Buyi said.
At this time, none of the three forces took Chu Yunfan to heart. In their opinion, the Sky Breakers, the Divine Maidens, and the Azure Dragons—the three major forces in the vicinity—had appeared at the same time in a high-profile manner. It was clear that they wanted to interfere, and this was the big trouble they were facing.
“As for Mr. Chu, it’s impossible for him to keep the flood dragon spirit.”
“It doesn’t matter. Hmph, let the three of them fight. The fiercer the fight, the easier it will be for us to fish in troubled waters. Who gets the flood dragon spirit will be dependent on their strength. Although the Sky Breakers, the Divine Maidens, and the Azure Dragons are powerful, they’re still nothing compared to me.”
At this point, the first elder’s face revealed absolute confidence as if he was the only one in the world who could do it.
“Pass down the order. Help me keep a close eye on the situation at the mine. I want to know everything that happens at the first moment,” the first elder said, “As for Mr. Chu, if he’s smart enough to retreat now, he might be able to keep his life. However, if he’s delusional, he’ll die there.”
The first elder knew all too well how powerful the flood dragon spirit in the mine was. Even with the Wei clan’s power, they had to be extremely careful, let alone others.
This was the reason why he was not very anxious at the moment. Whether he wanted to fish in troubled waters or swallow the flood dragon spirit for himself, it all depended on whether he had such a good appetite.
At this time, the outside world was a complete mess. Many people did not expect that a flood dragon spirit would eventually cause such a series of events.
In particular, the high-profile entry of the three major forces nearby made the matter even more confusing.
The other small and medium-sized forces also tried to fish in troubled waters, making the whole situation even more chaotic.
Everyone could feel that the arrival of a storm was inevitable. And as the center of this storm, the people of Tianhe felt even greater pressure.
Though the city lord, Lin Hongfeng, was personally stationed there, it was no exception. The representatives of various forces came one after another, either threatening or enticing Li Hongfeng to hand over the flood dragon spirit.
At this time, Lin Hongfeng finally felt the huge pressure that came with owning the mine. All this time, they had only participated in the sharing of the mine, and the one who was really under this pressure was Taining. After they took over, because of the existence of the great killer god, Chu Yunfan, no one in the other cities dared to say anything. They were basically all stunned by Chu Yunfan’s amazing performance.
But now that the flood dragon spirit had been exposed, and the nearby major forces had swarmed in, they instantly felt great pressure.
This was especially so for Lin Haoren. Each of the forces that had sent people here was famous, and there were even behemoths like the Azure Dragons and the Divine Maidens.
Normally, there weren’t many people that they could afford to provoke. After all, although they had obtained control of the mine this time around, it was essentially because of Chu Yunfan’s strength and not their own. This made them feel less confident.
“Father, what should we do? The Azure Dragons have already sent people to warn us that if we don’t hand over the flood dragon spirit, they’ll teach us a lesson.”
Outside the mine, Lin Haoren looked at Lin Hongfeng with a worried look.
Lin Hongfeng shook his head, a wry smile on his face. Then his expression became determined. “At this point, do you think that our city could possibly retreat? If we do so, not only will we offend Mr. Chu, but those people will also remember our cowardice.
“Besides, they want us to hand it over? How are we supposed to do that? If that flood dragon spirit gets out, the consequences will be unimaginable. No matter who it is, they will have to wait until Mr. Chu comes out of seclusion,” Lin Hongfeng said.
Compared to the nervous Lin Haoren, Lin Hongfeng could see the situation even more clearly. They had no way to retreat and could only stand on the same side as Chu Yunfan. Otherwise, they would definitely not have an easy time.
Moreover, the president of the Azure Dragons, the first divine maiden of the Divine Maidens, and the sect leader of the Sky Breakers were all famous and invincible. However, this mysterious Mr. Chu was no ordinary person. Who would win and who would lose was still unknown.
“Father, Brother, don’t worry. Master is very powerful. Those people are no match for him,” Lin Chenxi said confidently.
Chu Yunfan, who was inside the mine, didn’t know that the undercurrent was already raging outside. He was sitting cross-legged in the mine, and in front of him, the Thunder God Scepter was floating up and down.
Flames were constantly pouring out of his hand. He was refining the scepter.
The flood dragon spirit was too powerful. Only with the help of the scepter could it be subdued.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and the scepter flew into his hand.
