I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

Yang Yi was in shock. His eyes were filled with shock and anger. However, in reality, the difference in status between them was like the difference between heaven and earth.

It was only when Yang Yi was almost strangled to death by Chu Yunfan that he finally understood why he was only an ordinary marquis, while Chu Yunfan was a top-notch prodigy that everyone knew. Although he was very strong in the eyes of ordinary people and had already reached the peak of the Cosmos Stage, he was weak in front of Chu Yunfan.

All his glory came from his contributions, his title, and the protection of the Crown Prince. In the past, he felt that these were very stable. But now, he was easily defeated by Chu Yunfan.

On the other hand, Chu Yunfan's strength did not come from his status as a marquis of the empire, nor was it because he was a disciple of the Flying Celestials, nor was it because he was number one on the Prodigy List. Instead, it came from his own strength. Only the strength that originated from oneself was the strength that no one could take away.

That was why he was eager to recruit Chu Yunfan to the Crown Prince's side and did not dare to go against the Crown Prince's words. Chu Yunfan could say that he did not care for the Crown Prince one bit.

The funny thing was that Yang Yi had thought that Chu Yunfan was so powerful because he had the support of the Flying Celestials. Now, he understood that Chu Yunfan's strength came from his own strength.

But what was even more tragic was that he realized that even though he knew that Chu Yunfan's strength was the true strength, he couldn't do it. From the very beginning, he had taken the wrong path.

Thinking of this, although he was still shocked and angry, he did not dare to argue with Chu Yunfan anymore. He only said fiercely, "Hmph, just wait!"

After saying that, Yang Yi stepped on the light and left the military camp as if he was fleeing.

"How can such a person be worthy of being a marquis of the Empire?"

After Yang Yi left, two other people appeared in the commander's office. They were You Chuyun and Chu Hongcai. Seeing Yang Yi in such a sorry state, Chu Hongcai sneered in disdain.

Beside him, You Chuyun's lips twitched. His emotions were complicated and he didn't know how to put it, because this was a normal official title. As for Chu Yunfan, who Chu Hongcai used as a comparison, he was the abnormal one. Among the many marquis in the empire, there were very few who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Chu Yunfan.

Not everyone conferred the title of marquis had great strength. The vast majority of them had endured enough seniority and slowly grinded enough contributions before they were conferred the title of marquis.

"Hahaha, Hongcai, don't learn from him. You have to rely on your own strength to protect your wife and children!" Chu Yunfan laughed, completely disregarding the conflict just now.

"My Lord, but if this is the case, we'll have completely shed all pretense of cordiality with the Crown Prince's faction," You Chuyun said worriedly.

Chu Yunfan waved and said, "Then we'll fall out with each other. The princes and princesses are now competing for the throne, but the outcome has not been decided yet. If we rashly join one of them, we will become a thorn in the eyes of all the other princes and princesses. I don't need to say anything more about the difference between offending the Crown Prince and offending all the princes and princesses."

Only then did You Chuyun realize in shock that he had only thought of offending the Crown Prince's faction, but he had never thought that the Crown Prince's many opponents also had an extremely powerful factions behind them. Offending the Crown Prince was better than offending everyone.

"Moreover, it won't be so easy for the Crown Prince to deal with me. Ordinary Creators can't even withstand a single move from me. How many Creators can the Crown Prince recruit? It's fine if he doesn't come looking for trouble, but if he dares to come looking for trouble, then I'll teach him an unforgettable lesson," Chu Yunfan said nonchalantly.

"That's right. So what if he's the Crown Prince? If he dares to abuse his power for personal gain and take revenge, we might as well rely on other princes and princesses!" Chu Hongcai said loudly.

"The most important thing is not whether the Crown Prince will come to find trouble with us. The most important thing is to increase our strength. As long as we have enough strength, the Crown Prince can only hold back even if he is dissatisfied with us." Chu Yunfan sneered.

On the other side of the world.

In the Eastern Palace of the Imperial Capital.

A young man wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe sat on the throne. This man had a handsome face and vaguely resembled a king.

"Did he really say that?" the young man said with a malicious expression.

"That's right, Your Royal Highness. Chu Yunfan is arrogant and despotic. He has no respect for you. He even said that if you want to control him, you will have to wait until you ascend the throne," Yang Yi, who was standing before the young man, said hurriedly.

"How dare you, Chu Yunfan!" The Crown Prince slapped the armrest of his throne and shattered it.

"Your Highness, not only did Chu Yunfan kill Marquis Huntian, but he has also turned a blind eye to your good intentions. If we don't deal with him, I'm afraid the others will also be alienated." Yang Yi glanced at the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince's expression was extremely sinister. After a long time, his expression relaxed again. "Now is not the time to touch him. He has just killed Marquis Huntian, which is the focus of everyone's attention. The Flying Celestials is even more guarded. It's not that easy to touch him.

"Besides, my father has already called me over to give me a scolding. The collusion between Marquis Huntian, the Demon God Sect, and the demons made my father very unhappy. It's not the right time to make a move."

The Crown Prince shook his head. He knew all too well that although his position seemed to be glorious, he was actually sitting on a pile of gunpowder. He had an unimaginably powerful father and a group of brothers and sisters chasing after him. If he was not careful, he might lose the whole game. The more he did, the more mistakes he made. It was good not to do it.

If he was in an ordinary family, he would definitely be a peerless genius that was hard to come by in a hundred years. However, in the imperial family, his aptitude was rated as mediocre. It was simply a huge joke.

"Bear with him for a few days. After the Prodigy Battlefield opens, we'll deal with him," the Crown Prince said coldly.

He recalled being called over by his father and being reprimanded for being narrow-minded and short-sighted. He did some petty things and immediately understood something.

"Besides, it's just Chu Yunfan. So what? Wait until I go to the Prodigy Battlefield and get that thing. It won't be difficult to deal with Chu Yunfan. At that time, I'll personally kill him.

"For now, the one we need to guard against is not Chu Yunfan, but the other ambitious princes and princesses," the Crown Prince said, "Send someone to keep an eye on my good brothers and sisters. If there's any movement, report to me immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness," Yang Yi said.
