Chapter 1316 - 1316 Prerequisite
1316 Prerequisite
Lin Sheng explained everything to Chu Yunfan.
Chu Yunfan instantly understood the cause and effect. The reason why the Core Council would suddenly intervene and appear was probably that the Great Formless Sect had sought them out.
In the entire Great Wei, the only one who could help them, apart from Great Wei’s Imperial Court, was the Core Council. And it was clear that the Imperial Court would not help them. Therefore, the only one they could ask for help was the Core Council.
He just didn’t know how much the Great Formless Sect had paid to get the help of the Core Council.
Thinking about it, Chu Yunfan found it funny.
!!
When the Yuwen clan went to the Great Formless Sect for help, the Great Formless Sect probably never thought that they would end up like the Yuwen clan.
He was not interested in exterminating the Yuwen clan. After all, the one who offended him was Yuwen Chang, not his clan. The one who really wanted to exterminate the Yuwen clan was Great Wei.
Yuwen Chang had betrayed Great Wei and colluded with Jinzhanghan, and this was the price they had to pay. However, the Great Formless Sect was different. In order to force Chu Yunfan out, Mi Siyuan killed more than a hundred people from the Chu clan alone. The others added up to hundreds.
Of course, Chu Yunfan couldn’t just let it go like that. Otherwise, what would others think of him? Wouldn’t he be bullied casually? Anyway, as long as they paid a sufficient price, it would be fine.
“Must I kill them all?” Chu Yunfan sneered as he looked at Lin Sheng. “If I had been defeated back then, would you have stood out to persuade Mi Siyuan not to kill me and let the residence go?”
Looking at Chu Yunfan’s half-smile, Lin Sheng could not help but feel speechless. He understood what Chu Yunfan meant. If Chu Yunfan were defeated, then Mi Siyuan would definitely take the opportunity to beat the Chu clan into a pulp and fall from then on. He might not even be able to keep Chu Yaowei’s head.
The battles in Great Wei were just so cruel.
And the Core Council would never ask Mi Siyuan to show mercy and let the Chu clan off for Chu Yunfan. This was very obvious.
Chu Yaowei understood the mocking smile on Chu Yunfan’s face—he was mocking their double standards.
At this point, Lin Sheng had no room for retreat, so he said, “No matter what, this is the decision made by the entire Core Council. The elders in the council do not wish for the Great Formless Sect to be exterminated like this. Don’t forget, Master Chu, even if you are in your prime now, there will inevitably not be such a day in the future.”
When Lin Sheng said this, there was a hint of threat in his tone. He had already thrown caution to the wind. How could Chu Yunfan have such a high level of cultivation and be on equal footing with the council elders?
The indignation in his heart instantly turned into a high-pitched voice.
“How dare you!” Chu Yaowei was shocked and angry as he shouted.
Lin Sheng was using the Chu clan to threaten Chu Yunfan. If anything happened to Chu Yunfan in the future, the Chu clan would end up like the Great Formless Sect.
Now that the Chu clan was at its peak, he actually cursed the Chu clan to be raided and exterminated in the future. How could Chu Yaowei not be angry?
Chu Yunfan did not have such a big reaction. Through Lin Sheng’s words, he finally understood the thoughts of the council elders. They wanted to compress the fight within a relatively reasonable range, leaving a line in their actions so that they could meet in the future.
Clearly, Chu Yunfan’s pursuit of the Great Formless Sect had made them feel the grief of the fox when the rabbit died. No one wanted to die, and the orthodoxy they left behind would be uprooted.
“You dare to threaten me with this?”Chu Yunfan narrowed his eyes and sneered. “I’m telling you that there’s no room for discussion on this matter. If I want to uproot the Great Formless Sect, none of you will be able to stop me. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try. I’m giving them a chance by letting them die. I don’t want to hurt the innocent, but if they are stubborn and want to drag the entire sect down with them, then I’ll give them that chance.”
As Chu Yunfan spoke, his aura was released. It was just a trace, but it made Lin Sheng feel like he had fallen into an ice cave, and his entire body was drenched in a cold sweat.
Chu Yaowei did not feel it at all, but to Lin Sheng, it was as if h.e.l.l had appeared in front of him. He suddenly felt that death was so close to him!
How terrifying was this?!
He suddenly remembered that even though he had the support of the Core Council, in the eyes of this person, he was no different from an ant. What he relied on was nothing in front of Chu Yunfan.
It was laughable that he had tried to put on airs in front of Chu Yunfan.
At this moment, the flames of jealousy that had risen because of Chu Yunfan’s young age were instantly suppressed by this terrifying experience of being on the verge of death.
After he truly understood the difference between the two of them, his previous thoughts disappeared without a trace.
“But Master Chu, this is the decision of the entire council. The deputy chairman is personally involved in this matter. Before I came, the deputy chairman asked me to pa.s.s on a message to you.” Lin Sheng said through gritted teeth.
He felt his entire body was drenched in cold sweat. With every word he said, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to death.
He didn’t even know how to say these words. In front of Chu Yunfan’s power, his legs almost gave out. It was an unprecedented feeling. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it. How could there be someone in the younger generation who was so powerful? It was simply not an existence that he could look up to.
All his pride was nothing in front of Chu Yunfan.
“In that case, if I don’t agree to let the Great Formless Sect off, I won’t be able to join the council.” Chu Yunfan sneered.
“That’s right, letting the Great Formless Sect go is the prerequisite for you to join the council, Master Chu,” Lin Sheng braced himself and continued.
“Hahahahaha, what a good condition. You make it sound as if I want to join this council. But, my friend, since you’re here, why are you hiding?” Chu Yunfan suddenly said as he looked at Lin Sheng.
