Chapter 1290 - 1290 The Shock of the Imperial Guardian

1290 The Shock of the Imperial Guardian

The meal-lecture came to a halt when a servant came in to announce that the imperial guardian had arrived.

Everyone’s heart trembled, especially Lady Shui Ji. She looked at Chu Yunfan reluctantly. Those who didn’t know better would think that she was looking at her lover.

However, the others could understand because they also felt the same way. They really felt that it was a pity. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after all.

Just the few words that Chu Yunfan had given them in this short period was equivalent to them having to fumble around and cultivate for a few years, or even more than ten years.

They were not immortal. What they lacked the most in cultivation was not resources or inheritance, but time.

However, they didn’t dare to reject. If it was anyone else, they would have immediately sent people to chase them out. However, the person who came was the imperial guardian.

The imperial guardian that Chu Yaowei had invited previously had appeared, and everyone looked at each other and looked at each other in dismay.

“Hurry up and invite him. If not, I’ll go invite him,” Chu Yaowei quickly said. He had no idea how long he had spent to hire this imperial guardian. He had paid a huge price to hire him. Although it wasn’t not effective in the end, he didn’t dare to neglect him.

After a while, under Chu Yaowei’s lead, an old man in black clothes strode in. Everyone stood up and greeted him.

“It’s you, Elder Ku.”

“Greetings, Elder Ku.”

“May you have a long life, Elder Ku.”

Zhang Ling, Lady Shui Ji, and the others immediately greeted him. A look of shock flashed across their eyes. They had not expected Chu Yaowei to invite this old man.

Elder Ku was not even from their generation. It should be said that he was a legendary figure in their previous generation. When they had just started their journey and made a name for themselves in Great Wei, Elder Ku was already one of the top experts in Great Wei.

His fame was not inferior to theirs. Later on, he even stepped into the Core Stage and became the overlord of a generation. Later on, it was said that he had joined Great Wei and became the imperial guardian.

After that, he rarely made a move. However, every time he made a move, something big must have happened.

Although they knew that the imperial guardian who could be invited must be a big shot and not a simple person, they did not expect Chu Yaowei to be able to invite Elder Ku.

However, Fu Wentai’s eyes flashed with understanding. Compared to the others, he had a deeper relations.h.i.+p with Marquis Zhongxin’s residence. He had vaguely heard that Elder Ku had once received help from a previous marquis.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to find someone to deal with a Core.

Even if they were both Cores, it was still unusual for them to deal with another Core. If they failed to kill the snake, there would be endless trouble. It was not a top-notch expert that could be hired with money.

If that was the case, then it made sense.

Elder Ku had just entered. He did not care about the others and looked directly at Chu Yunfan, who was sitting on the main seat. His eyes were bright as he stared at Chu Yunfan.

Otherwise, either side could easily crush them to death.

“Elder Ku, this is—” Chu Yaowei quickly went forward and said.

“Chu Yunfan. I heard about it on the way here.” Elder Ku looked at Chu Yunfan and sighed. “Heroes are born from young people. I didn’t expect that such a young hero would actually appear in Great Wei.”

“Elder Ku, you flatter me.” Chu Yunfan cupped his hands.

Elder Ku waved his hand and said, “I’m not flattering you. You don’t have to be so modest. I was asked by Yaowei to ambush Ancestor Wusheng. I didn’t expect that he would be killed by you.”

“Speaking of which, I’m ashamed. On my way here, I was stopped by an array formation. Although I was only stopped for half a day, if you hadn’t turned the tide, I’m afraid that Ancestor Wusheng would have succeeded in his plan,” Elder Ku said bluntly.

Only then did everyone understand why Elder Ku had not arrived on time. It was probably because Ancestor Wusheng had set up an array formation on the path that he had to pa.s.s. Although it could not do anything to Elder Ku, it was enough to stop him for some time.

For a Core, even this short time was enough to wipe out an entire city.

Thinking of this, they all felt a chill down their spines. If Chu Yunfan had not suddenly appeared, stopped Ancestor Wusheng, and killed him, they would have died long ago by the time Elder Ku arrived.

However, when they saw that Elder Ku did not seem to have any intention of falling out with them, they heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, it would have been another terrifying battle between immortals.

“It’s nothing,” Chu Yunfan said lightly.

Elder Ku looked at Chu Yunfan in a daze and then laughed out loud.

“If Old Ancestor Wusheng knew about this, he would probably be angered to death. If anyone else said this, I would think that they were arrogant, but I think that what you said is the truth.”

Elder Ku clearly had already understood the whole story before he came. He already had a good understanding of Chu Yunfan. In fact, he was in a state of shock. When he arrived here, he found out that Chu Yunfan had killed Ancestor Wusheng, and he was even more shocked.

Although Ancestor Wusheng had only just entered the Void Core Stage—which was much later than him—in reality, after he had entered the Core Stage, his progress was not great. Compared to Ancestor Wusheng, he did not have much of an advantage.

It was precisely because of this that he did not want to take on this matter at the beginning. He was not completely confident that he could kill Ancestor Wusheng. If he could not kill that kind of Core in one fell swoop, there would be endless trouble.

If Chu Yaowei hadn’t sent him a letter and exchanged a Longevity Pill for his help, he might not have been willing to interfere in this mess.

For a young man, it might not be much, but for someone his age, a Longevity Pill to increase his lifespan by 20 years was undoubtedly crucial. It was worth it for him to fight with Ancestor Wusheng. However, after he broke through the array and rushed over, he found out that Ancestor Wusheng had been killed by Chu Yunfan.

This shocked him. Even if he attacked, he was not completely confident that he could stop Ancestor Wusheng. Heavily injuring and killing a Core were two completely different concepts.

Not only did Chu Yunfan manage to do it, but what was even more terrifying was that, according to the information he had obtained, Chu Yunfan had easily killed Ancestor Wusheng. It was not a bitter battle at all.

During the battle, Ancestor Wusheng revealed that Chu Yunfan’s combat strength might have already surpa.s.sed the fledgling Void Core Stage.

This made him even more shocked. From the beginning, he never underestimated Chu Yunfan.
