1315 An Invitation From the Core Council



Before this, Chu Yunfan had no idea about the existence of the Core Council. He had risen to power too quickly, and he had been hiding his strength and biding his time to recover.

He was not very clear about the various secrets of Great Wei. He had never known about the existence of the Core Council. However, he immediately understood why there was such a council. Just like the United Nations, there was a need for such a platform to coordinate these terrifying existences that could destroy the world.

If two Cores were to fight to the death, Great Wei would be in chaos.

At the same time, he also knew that Great Wei had never publicized such an organization. They were afraid that this organization had the intention of Cores working together to protect themselves against Great Wei's imperial court.

However, it was undeniable that this organization was indeed an extremely terrifying and powerful organization. Just by thinking about their recruitment criteria, one would know.

The young man in the luxurious robe was Ambassador Lin.

Ambassador Lin reacted quickly. Although he was holding back his anger and felt extremely jealous, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he bowed and said, "I am Lin Sheng, the ambassador of the Core Council. Greetings, Master Chu."

Although he was indignant, he didn't dare to show it because he knew how terrifying this person was. Chu Yunfan had killed two Cores in one go, and Soul Hunter, who was once as famous as him and ranked among the top ten young experts of Great Wei, was crushed inch by inch by Chu Yunfan while wearing a spirit inner armor. Just thinking about it made Chu Yunfan seem extremely terrifying.

Although Lin Sheng was jealous, he was not stupid.

"I don't remember having any dealings with the Core Council. May I know why they've sent you?" Chu Yunfan said calmly as he glanced at Lin Sheng.

"I'm here on behalf of the Core Council for two things. First, if you know about the Core Council, you should know its standards, Master Chu. Without a doubt, you've met the standards of the council. The council wants to recruit you as a member."

Lin Sheng calmed himself and suppressed the jealousy in his heart as he tried to speak in a calm tone.

So that was the case.

Chu Yunfan soon understood what was happening. After he killed Ancestor Wusheng and Mi Siyuan in succession, his combat strength was widely known. Even though his cultivation had not entered the Core Stage, few people dared to underestimate him.

In two days, the news of him killing Mi Siyuan in one battle spread throughout the entire Great Wei, especially in the south.

Originally, these places were the territory of the Great Formless Sect. Now that Mi Siyuan had been killed, it was clear that everything was going to be reshuffled.

In just two days, all the major forces had handed over the property that they had taken from the Chu clan. They didn't dare to stop. Even if they didn't offend the people of the Marquis Zhongxin's household, they still sent out generous gifts. After all, if they sent out generous gifts at this time, Chu Yunfan might not remember them, but if they didn't, there was a high chance that they would be remembered.

Marquis Zhongxin's household also took advantage of this opportunity to expand their sphere of influence to the Great Formless Sect at lightning speed. No one dared to stop them, and the Great Formless Sect had already withdrawn all their forces back to their own sect, so how could they dare to stay outside?

At the same time, this also meant that Chu Yunfan had established absolute authority in the south of Great Wei. No one could rival him. At this time, it was not surprising that the Core Council wanted to rope him in.

"Let's talk about this later. Didn't you say there was something else? What is it?" Chu Yunfan asked.

Ambassador Lin looked at Chu Yunfan and gulped. Although he didn't think that Chu Yunfan was particularly scary before he came, now that he was facing Chu Yunfan, he felt a terrifying pressure.

Chu Yunfan didn't release any pressure, but when he thought about how this young man with an indifferent expression had killed many half-step Cores and even killed two Cores, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"Master Chu, I've brought the council's wishes. They hope that you will quite while you're ahead and put an end to things, Master Chu," Ambassador Lin said after some thought.

Then, he felt his courage return to him. Yes, although Chu Yunfan was powerful, he had the legendary Core Council behind him. In Great Wei, even the imperial court did not dare to ignore the decisions of the council.

"Put an end to things? Quit while I'm ahead? Do you want me to let the Great Formless Sect go?" Chu Yunfan sneered.

"That's right, we should stop while we're ahead. We've brought along the proposal of the Great Formless Sect. If you let them go, they're willing to compensate the Chu clan ten times their losses, Master Chu," Lin Sheng said directly.

"Ten times the compensation?" Chu Yunfan looked at Lin Sheng with a faint smile. 

"That's not going to happen. The Great Formless Sect killed at least a hundred people from my clan, and now they want me to let them go so easily? How is that possible?" Chu Yaowei butted in and said.

He couldn't help but speak first. With his shrewdness, he wouldn't suddenly interrupt, but he was afraid that Chu Yunfan would agree. If that happened, the Chu clan's plan would fall short.

If Chu Yunfan let them go, the entire Chu clan would have no way to explain themselves, not to mention that as the Chu clan rose up, weakening the Great Formless Sect would become an inevitable matter. If the Great Formless Sect's strength was not damaged, then it would still be a colossus and a huge threat.

No matter how one looked at it, the Great Formless Sect had to be eradicated. They absolutely could not let them go so easily.

"Marquis, I'm afraid you have no say in this matter."

Lin Sheng did not even look at Chu Yaowei. If it was not for Chu Yunfan, he would not even take Chu Yaowei seriously.

Facing Chu Yaowei's sudden interruption, Lin Sheng reprimanded him without holding back.

"I've already made myself clear. How could I let this go just like that? Otherwise, whoever comes to kill my clan's disciples in the future can be easily brushed off. Who knows how many clowns will jump out." Chu Yunfan shook his head.

"Master Chu, the Great Formless Sect made an unintentional mistake. Moreover, you've already killed Mi Siyuan. Do you still have to be so heartless and exterminate them?"
