1724 The Various Forces’ Reaction

If it was in the Federation, such a situation would never happen. Even the second and third-tier troops would definitely not be in such a state.

From Chu Yunfan's point of view, the system of Grand Xia was problematic from the very beginning. Back then, the ten great sects had joined forces to assist the king in establishing Grand Xia. From then on, the ten sects began to infiltrate every aspect of Grand Xia.

In many places, the power of the ten sects was much greater than that of Grand Xia. Although the empire was still the largest power around, there were too many places in the world that it couldn't control.

Right now, Grand Xia seemed to be in a stable state. That was because the various major powers, including the Flying Celestials, needed such a power to unify the power of the humans. It would not allow the demons, barbarians, and Hus to take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, in an area like Baotai that was almost ungoverned by the three powers, Grand Xia had long lost its dignity. Otherwise, it would not have lost so many garrison officers in one fell swoop.

The local tycoons dared to pull the soldiers out of the army to be used as coolies. One could imagine how arrogant they were.

"What should we do with the soldiers who were dragged to do hard labor?" You Chuyun asked Chu Yunfan.

"There's no hurry. You should first gather information about the various forces in Baotai. I want to know everything. As for the Ding clan, I'll settle the score with them sooner or later," Chu Yunfan said.

"The most important thing now is for you to improve your strength. I have some martial arts manuals here. You can take your pick and learn whatever you like. Also, choose a few confidants and teach them some martial arts. In the future, we'll go to the battlefield."

As he spoke, Chu Yunfan waved, and dozens of jade slips appeared on the long table in front of him. They were all kinds of martial arts, including punch techniques, saber techniques, sword techniques, physique techniques, and so on. They included the cultivation methods of various mainstream martial arts.

They were all ordinary goods that he had collected from the Alchemy Emperor's memories. Though they were just ordinary goods in his impression, they were great things that could not be bought with money by You Chuyun and the others. Although they were from the Flying Celestials, the sect was a big place. They had to exchange points for anything they wanted. They were not like Chu Yunfan, who was a seed disciple that the sect's higher-ups paid attention to. They were just ordinary disciples. It would take a long time to exchange for a reliable martial art.

Even in the Flying Celestials, the martial arts that Chu Yunfan had given them were considered first-class martial arts. Although they could not be compared to Chu Yunfan's own Nine Netherworld Stomps and Eight Astonishing Punches, they were enough to surprise You Chuyun and the others.

You Chuyun and the others walked over. Their divine wills probed into the martial arts manuals, quickly assessing them. These techniques were all extremely profound, and they were instantly surprised and delighted. In the Flying Celestials, they had to be at least elite disciples to obtain martial arts of this level. But now, Chu Yunfan had taken out these martial arts and let them learn as they pleased. This made them shed tears of gratitude. They were very grateful that they had not backed the wrong person.

In Chu Yunfan's opinion, You Chuyun and the others were still too weak. The strength that he had to rely on now was these people, but they were not of much use at the moment. They had to reach the Abstract Interpretation Stage at the very least to be able to help him.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan waved and a bottle of pills appeared in his hand. Then, he waved again and handed out 11 pills into the arms of his 11 underlings.

"Take these pills. They should be enough to improve your strength. For now, you have to think of ways to improve your strength and train your soldiers. Although the Baotai garrison is only a second-tier garrison, I will bring them to the battlefield in the future," Chu Yunfan said.

"Thank you, Senior Chu!"

With Chu Yunfan's help, their cultivation would soon have a huge breakthrough. Even breaking through to become an elite disciple in the future was just around the corner. This made them ecstatic.

Under Chu Yunfan's orders, the entire camp was sealed off. Without his orders, no one was allowed to leave. The storm that he had stirred up began to cause a huge uproar in Baotai.

After Chu Yunfan took office, he did not hesitate to purge all the officers. These officers were all local people born and raised here, and more or less had some connections with the local forces. For a time, there were many pairs of hostile eyes outside the military camp.

At this moment, in the ancestral land of the Ding clan, the higher-ups of the clan had gathered.

"Everyone, this new garrison lieutenant doesn't come with good intentions. He has no respect for our clan. What should we do?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. He was dressed in a luxurious robe and had a furious expression on his face. This person was the current head of the Ding clan, Ding Feng.

A middle-aged man in military armor standing next to him said with an ashen face, "Chu Yunfan is clearly here for me. He took advantage of my absence to kill all my trusted aides."

This middle-aged man in armor was none other than the deputy commandant of the Baotai garrison. He was also the original number one person there. This was especially true when several former garrison lieutenants died for unknown reasons not long after coming here. Those people had failed to control the army, which gave him the opportunity to plant his roots.

But now, he could say that he had been beaten back to his original state overnight. His trusted aides had all been killed, but he did not dare to show his face. Chu Yunfan's ruthless methods had cleared out the vermin.

However, his bottom was not clean either. Once he appeared, how could he escape?

"Then he shall die. In any case, a few garrison lieutenants have already died."

"That's right. He's just a garrison lieutenant. There are thousands of them in Grand Xia. What does it matter if Chu Yunfan dies?"

"If he goes against our clan, we will kill him."

The higher-ups of the clan clamored one after another as if they wanted blood.
