1267 A True Dragon Appears in Shallow Water



Ordinary people might not know much about the Emissaries, but as the Director of Intelligence of the empire, he had a deep understanding of these two people.

The two masters of the Netherworld Sect in the Jinzhanghan Kingdom had once caused endless killings at the border of the empire. They had always been wanted by the Great Wei Kingdom.

Even the Intelligence Department had sent experts to hunt down the Emissaries more than once, but in the end, the two of them escaped. He had even personally taken action once, sneaking into the outer realms and waiting for half a year before finally getting the chance to kill the two of them.

Who knew that the two of them would escape in the final battle and even kill many of the Great Wei Kingdom's elite experts?

Under such circumstances, how could he not have a deep impression of the Emissaries?

However, the Emissaries, who had given the entire Great Wei Kingdom a headache and could do nothing about him, had died at Chu Yunfan's hands.

It was even an overwhelming suppression.

According to the battle report, the two of them had never had the upper hand against Chu Yunfan from the beginning to the end. Chu Yunfan had even stripped the Black Emissary of his spirit weapon treasure robe, the Black Dragon Night Robe.

The intelligence director still had a good impression of the Black Dragon Night Robe. This robe was the reason why the Emissaries were able to escape unscathed. Although the Emissaries had just obtained the Black Dragon Night Robe at that time, they were able to kill their way out of their encirclement with just this robe.

At that time, the Intelligence Department, which did not know that the Black Emissary had the Black Dragon Night Robe, suffered heavy losses. They could not hurt the Black Emissary at all and were all killed.

The White Emissary's half-spirit saber was even more of a headache for them. They died if they brushed against it and get injured if they knocked against it.

The combination of one attack and one defense made it almost impossible for them to compete. However, the current combination of one attack and one defense was still the same combination of one attack and one defense, but the enemy they faced was much more terrifying than before.

It was because the intelligence director knew how terrifying the Emissaries were that the old man felt that it was completely unbelievable that Chu Yunfan had killed them. If it wasn't for the fact that the reports from more than one spy had confirmed each other, he wouldn't have believed it at all.

Was Chu Yunfan really that terrifying?

But now, it seemed that this Chu Yunfan was really such a terrifying existence.

The intelligence director couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. He looked at the battle report and saw how Chu Yunfan had crushed the Black Emissary and forcefully stripped off the Black Dragon Night Robe.

It made his pupils contract. When he read that Chu Yunfan had caught the half-spirit saber with his bare hands and crushed it, he looked as if he had seen a ghost. To be able to casually crush a half-spirit weapon… This kind of physique was strong to an unbelievable level.

It was even more terrifying than the Core Stage!

He wanted to know how Chu Yunfan cultivated. It was too terrifying. This was not someone that the Marquis Zhongxin's residence could nurture.

In short, a true dragon could not be raised in shallow water. Even the Great Wei Kingdom's imperial family could not raise such a top-notch expert, let alone Marquis Zhongxin's residence.

Chu Yunfan's strength alone was not enough to shock the director. What really shocked him was Chu Yunfan's age. He finally understood why Chu Yunfan's matter was a level 8 intelligence report.

"Impressive. I didn't expect such a character to appear in Marquis Zhongxin's household." The old man's eyes narrowed slightly. No one knew what he was thinking.

"That's true. Should we monitor him immediately?" the middle-sized young man quickly asked.

Then, the old man glanced at the middle-sized youth and said, "Are you kidding me? How could you possibly monitor a half-step Core? If he finds out, you won't even know how you died!"

The middle-sized young man immediately broke out in cold sweat. He had only suggested this out of instinct because he had done the same to other experts in the past. However, he had forgotten that the target he proposed to monitor this time was a half-step Core.

That was an overlord. What kind of surveillance could be hidden from an expert of that level? Was he planning to find a Core Stage expert to monitor him?

Wasn't that a joke?

"Master, I misspoke," the youth hurriedly said.

"Although we can't monitor him, we still have to investigate his background. Marquis Zhongxin's household definitely can't cultivate such a character. Chu Yunfan must have a sect behind him. The sect that can cultivate such a character must be extraordinary. We actually didn't notice it before. We have to find out what sect it is and what its purpose is," the director said.

He was not worried about Chu Yunfan. Even if a half-step Core could fly into the sky, he would not be able to overturn the sky. What really worried him was the huge sect that might exist behind Chu Yunfan.

In the Great Wei Kingdom, there were many such existences. Disciples and successors of various sects were spread all over the Great Wei Kingdom. Among them, there were many people with ulterior motives.

The director was afraid that Chu Yunfan was also such an existence. If that was the case, with the potential that he had shown, it was unknown how much danger he would cause.

"I understand," the youth quickly said.

"Also, help me send a gift to the marquis' residence. Just say that it's a birthday gift for the old madam," the director suddenly said.

Hearing this, the youth could not help but widen his eyes. He looked at the old man in disbelief. He knew the identity of this old man. He was in charge of the empire's intelligence. Some people even called him the king of the shadows.

Usually, other people wanted to curry favor with him, but they had no way to do so. He had never taken the initiative to make friends with others.

Was this Chu Yunfan really so different?

Just thinking about it made him feel that it was completely unbelievable.

This kind of thing happening to the old man was simply a fantasy.

However, the youth did not dare to hesitate. He did not even dare to speculate because he knew very well that if he continued to guess blindly, what awaited him would only be a mass grave.

After the youth left, the old man finally sighed and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a person. An alchemy expert? Princess Gushe has been looking high and low for an alchemy expert. This might be a suitable candidate…"

His voice became softer and softer until it was almost inaudible. No one knew what he said.

Chu Yunfan didn't know that while he was making pills in seclusion, this trend had quietly swept out of Conglong and even began to affect the imperial capital.
