Chapter 2008 The Li Clan Is Just The Crown Prince’s Lapdog
Some people were happy, while others were worried. In Baotai, all the forces related to the Li clan were in a panic. On the contrary, the local forces that were originally supported by Chu Yunfan were extremely excited.
The forces in Baotai had already been sorted out by Chu Yunfan. The local tyrants who opposed him naturally could not continue to exist. They had long been uprooted.
The remaining forces were either close to Chu Yunfan or had a relationship with him. However, after the news of Chu Yunfan"s death spread, they became frightened. Before they could find another backer, the Li clan"s forces had already landed, not giving them any time to react.action
In this half a year, they were pushed aside to the point where they could only drag out their days. With the support of the Li clan, these forces that had various relationships with the Li clan continued to nibble away at the various interests of Baotai.
After two years of development on Chu Yunfan"s part, the nearby bandits and foreign forces that had broken into this area had been uprooted. It could be said that these foreign forces had been wiped out.
After all, with the existence of Zhenyao City, even if the foreign races broke in, they could only be small-scale troops. Ordinary local forces could not do anything about it, and the border areas often faced attacks from various foreign races. However, all of this was useless against the local garrison troops, which were more elite than the regular army.
After two years, Baotai had become the most prosperous city among the many border cities nearby. The benefits involved were also incomparably huge. The Li clan"s quick response to taking over Baotai and the External Army was definitely not only because of their grudge against Chu Yunfan. And now, they finally had a day to stand out.
For a moment, Baotai was in chaos. The civilians who did not know what was going on watched as the originally high and mighty Li clan members fled like hamsters. They hurriedly fled out of the city. Some people even tried to fly out of the city impatiently. However, just as they were about to fly out, the barrier in the city was activated. It was like a spider web, trapping all these people.
The elite troops that had not been in the city for a long time marched into the city in an orderly manner and quickly took over the city"s defenses. Although the armor on these soldiers was not complete, and many of them wore it, it seemed that in one night, their spirit and energy were found again.
A ma.s.sacre was inevitable. The anger that these soldiers had suppressed for more than half a year was completely released. These forces were usually good at bullying the people, but they were no match for the External Army, which had regained its spirit. In just a short day, they were slaughtered.
The Li clan"s subsidiary forces were trying to resist and clamoring.
"Chu Yunfan, you will die a horrible death!"
"The Li clan will avenge us!"
"Marquis Huntian will not let you off!"
However, no matter how fiercely they shouted, it could not change the fact that they were constantly being slaughtered. After a whole day, the rising and falling resistance in the city finally came to an end. The forces that the Li clan had spent a lot of money to plant were cleaned up inside and out.
Stepping on a pool of blood, a young man stepped into Baotai like a king.
In the depths of the Flying Celestials, there was a place with green mountains and clear waters that were surrounded by immortal energy. It was like a paradise on earth.
Two figures were confronting each other. The chessboard was like a battlefield, with black and white chess pieces flying up and down. The two of them were killing happily.
One of them was Situ Xuan, the sect leader of the Flying Celestials. The other was dressed in a moon-white robe. He had white hair and a youthful face. He looked like an immortal from heaven.
If there were people who were familiar with the Flying Celestials, they would probably be shocked to see this person. This person was none other than the Flying Celestials" chief grand elder, Zhangsun Yuan, who had not appeared for a long time.
Zhangsun Yuan was the head of the Grand Elders, and his position in the sect was only second to Situ Xuan. In fact, he was even above the vice sect leaders.
"Chu Yunfan has uprooted the Li clan in Baotai!" Zhangsun Yuan said as he casually placed a black piece down.
"That must be the case. Although this child has the heart of a Buddha, he also has lightning-fast methods." Situ Xuan thought about it for a while and placed the white piece. He didn"t seem to be surprised by this news.
The Flying Celestials had always been collecting information on Chu Yunfan. Although Chu Yunfan was a disciple of the Flying Celestials, the more they valued him, the more information they had to collect. With the Flying Celestials" mature system, it was naturally impossible for them to hand over their huge foundation to someone of unknown origin.
"Besides, he has been suppressing his anger for so long and needs to vent it. The Li clan"s interference this time has gone too far," Situ Xuan continued.
Chu Yunfan cleaned up the Li clan"s forces tied up the Li clan"s spies in the External Army, and hung them on the flagpole. As soon as this matter came out, it caused a sensation. However, when they thought about how Chu Yunfan had killed Li Qianyuan, they were shocked but not surprised. These people added together were not as important as Li Qianyuan"s finger.
Situ Xuan said, "The Li clan sent people to question me, but I have already chased them away. I still need them to explain why Li Weiyuan appeared in the ranks of those who besieged Chu Yunfan. Hmph, the Li clan has been relying on the protection of the Crown Prince and the peerless genius Li Qianyuan. They think that it will not be a problem for them to rise in the future. They have caused big trouble several times. Do they really think that the Flying Celestials can"t deal with their clan?"
Situ Xuan"s eyes were filled with disdain. Although the Li clan was a colossus in the eyes of others, to the Flying Celestials, it was nothing more than something that could be slapped to death.
The Flying Celestials had stood tall in Grand Xia for countless years, and they had known countless powers like the Li clan. They watched as these people built skysc.r.a.pers and then watched them crumble. It was the att.i.tude of the Flying Celestials that no matter how the world changed, the ten great sects would always stand tall and remain at the top of Grand Xia.
In his eyes, the Li clan was nothing more than a lapdog of the Crown Prince. If they dared to make a ruckus in front of him, he would kill them with a slap. It was only because the Crown Prince was very likely to become the next king that he had some scruples. Otherwise, no prince would dare to clamor in front of him. Even the king would not dare to target the Flying Celestials so brazenly.
"We will make the Li clan pay the price. This is also a warning to everyone who thinks of provoking the Flying Celestials," Situ Xuan said coldly.
