I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

Li Huan's pupils contracted instinctively because he had received orders from the Li clan to come and cripple the army. Of course, because the External Army was an army of Grand Xia, they couldn't use violent methods to slaughter them as they did to their enemies. Therefore, they could only use all kinds of methods to torture them. 

In just a short time, one-third of the soldiers of the External Army had died from torture. If this continued, the remaining two-thirds would be tortured to death in the next six months. At that time, the Ministry of War would send new recruits to replace them. Everything was done perfectly. No one would care about an army that no longer had a leader. The Li clan took this opportunity to take control of another army. It could be said that everyone was happy.

At the same time, it was a warning to everyone that if they offended the Li clan, even if they died like Chu Yunfan, they would bring disaster to their families. Everyone related to Chu Yunfan would be punished.

However, Li Huan had not expected to meet Chu Yunfan here. As he recalled Chu Yunfan's reputation within the Li clan, he instantly wanted to escape. Chu Yunfan had managed to escape from the demons and Demon God Sect that had joined forces, coupled with the Li clan's secret support. He had killed many experts of the demons and the Demon God Sect. If not for the supreme figure of the demons, Chu Yunfan might have really escaped.

As the Grand Elder of the Li clan, Li Huan knew some inside information. Because of this, the moment he saw Chu Yunfan, his reaction was to escape. He was just an ordinary elder, and his cultivation had only just entered the Creation Stage. How could he face Chu Yunfan, who could easily slaughter the experts of the demons and the Demon God Sect?

"Chu Yunfan, it's useless even if you're back. According to the Ministry of War's transfer order, the External Army has already been placed under the command of Marquis Huntian. You no longer have the right to command this place. You're acting recklessly. I will report you to the Ministry of War and strip you of all your positions," the Li clan's Grand Elder said boldly.

"The External Army is under Li Qianyuan's command?" Chu Yunfan sneered, but the killing intent in his eyes became colder. "Who do you think you are? How dare you harm a meritorious minister of the Imperial Court? One-third of the entire External Army has been killed or injured!"

Chu Yunfan scanned the ground with his divine will. The corpses on the ground were shocking to him.

"They are all soldiers who have made great contributions to the Imperial Court. They didn't die in the hands of the foreign tribes, but they died in the hands of you despicable people. How dare you mention Li Qianyuan to me? I guess you haven't heard the news yet. Li Qianyuan is dead, and he died by me hands!" Chu Yunfan sneered. "Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens. None of you will escape!"

Li Huan's first reaction was that it was impossible. Although Li Qianyuan was not invincible, he couldn't have been defeated by his peers. This had never happened before. Li Qianyuan spent decades to establish his invincible prestige.

But at this moment, Li Huan felt an extreme sense of danger from Chu Yunfan. This feeling made him turn around and flee immediately. Regardless of whether Li Qianyuan had died at Chu Yunfan's hands or not, since Chu Yunfan had returned with ill intentions, he did not dare to stay and confront Chu Yunfan head-on.

"Chu Yunfan, I will report this to the Ministry of War. Don't even think about running away!" Li Huan roared, and then he swept out of the city. In an instant, he had already fled hundreds of kilometers.

"You're not getting away." Chu Yunfan sneered, not worried about Li Huan getting away.

Chu Yunfan waved, and a lightning whip appeared out of thin air. Then, it chased after Li Huan like a swimming dragon.

Stab!

Li Huan didn't even have time to escape. His brain was pierced by the lightning whip, and it proceeded to sweep his entire body into the Mountain River Diagram. All of this happened too quickly. In a flash, the Grand Elder of the Li clan, who had dominated Baotai for more than half a year, had died at Chu Yunfan's hands.

All these changes made the experts of the various forces in Baotai feel that it was difficult to breathe. Seeing Chu Yunfan display his might as soon as he returned, these forces could not help but feel extremely wary.

Originally, Baotai had become Chu Yunfan's private territory, and the forces related to Chu Yunfan had been supported. However, after more than half a year of action, it was not only the soldiers in the army who were persecuted by the Li clan. Even the forces that Chu Yunfan had supported had been ostracized, and it was difficult for them to survive. Now, the dominant forces in the city were either the Li clan's forces or those related to the Li clan. Otherwise, it would be impossible to establish a foothold in Baotai.

But now, after seeing Chu Yunfan kill Li Huan with lightning speed, everyone was dumbfounded. That was a Creator Grand Elder. Such a figure would be a big shot in any direction. If he appeared on the human-demon battlefield, he would be a terrifying existence that could change the situation.

Ever since Li Huan had taken over Baotai, no one had been able to shake his position. However, such a terrifying existence had been killed in one strike. Although many people had heard of Chu Yunfan's name, this was the first time they had seen him in person. At this moment, their expressions changed drastically.

"Is this Chu Yunfan? Why is he ten times more terrifying than the rumors?"

"He just said that Li Qianyuan, Marquis Huntian, is dead. Is this news true?"

"I think this news should be true. After all, this news is not difficult to verify. Marquis Huntian is the darling of the Li clan. Even if there is a slight movement, it should be easily detected by others. If what he said is wrong, he will only become a laughing stock."

"That's right. I think so too. I'm afraid Marquis Huntian is truly doomed."

"Then what should we do? Chu Yunfan is so vicious. He definitely won't let us off. What should we do?"

"We need to get out of here, and fast!"
