1497 The Gathering of Heroes

Previously, when discussing the Dao with Yun Huang, Yun Huang had mentioned the Ultimate West Demon League. The Monster Subduers had occupied this place for generations to suppress the Ultimate West Demon League at the western border.

Great Wei had turned a blind eye to the Monster Subduers for generations because of this reason. If they were to always be the first barrier to block the Western demon league’s eastward advance, unless the Monster Subduers rebelled, Great Wei had no reason to go against the Monster Subduers.

Chu Yunfan knew some things about the Ultimate West Demon League. In the demon league, there were tribes, and each tribe was a race. There were seventy-two tribes, and their leaders were known as the seventy-two demon kings. Each of these seventy-two demon kings was a Core.

Among the 72 demon kings, there were 10 who were extra strong. They were Core Formers. However, these ten demon kings lived deep in the Ultimate West Demon League and rarely appeared. Therefore, ordinary people had not heard of them.

At first glance, the strength of the Ultimate West Demon League was indeed extremely powerful, much stronger than the Monster Subduers. But in fact, it was much weaker than many forces in the three major human kingdoms.

Although the human race was divided into many kingdoms, the Ultimate West Demon League was just a comprehensive name. The tribes in it had many conquests and were not peaceful with one another. This was why the Monster Subduers could guarantee the stability of Great Wei’s western border alone.

“They’re indeed a troublesome opponent, but how many did they send?” Chu Yunfan asked.

“As far as I know, 20 of the 72 demon kings have come. Among them, four of them are Core Formers who are among the top ten demon kings,” w.a.n.g Dong said solemnly.

Chu Yunfan finally understood why w.a.n.g Dong had said that they had a chance of winning if he joined them. If he didn’t, their group would have no chance of winning at all.

Based on what w.a.n.g Dong had said, the other major powers probably had their own goals and were not aligned with each other. In other words, they had divided their territories to prevent uncontrollable disputes from erupting. The various factions were wary of each other and did not want to fight to the death unless it was necessary.

Of course, this was his plan before entering the treasury. If he really entered, things would be unpredictable.

‘It’s indeed very troublesome,’ Chu Yunfan thought. The Ultimate West Demon League rarely appeared. If it wasn’t for the rumor that the Violet Thunder Swords was involved, the Ultimate West Demon League probably wouldn’t have appeared.

“It doesn’t matter. Since I’ve promised you, I’ll do my best to help you obtain a Herb King,” Chu Yunfan said.

When he attacked earlier, many auras had appeared at the same time. Chu Yunfan had not found any aura similar to that of the khan, so he was not too worried.

“All right, we’ll set off immediately.” w.a.n.g Dong nodded, and the group of people flew toward the mountain peak outside the city.

At this moment, there were already countless people waiting on the mountain peak outside the city. These experts were floating in the air, standing according to their respective camps.

Chu Yunfan and the others were not the first to arrive. The first to arrive was a group from Great Wei’s imperial family. There were two people in the lead. One of them was the chief disciple of the Monster Subduers, Yun Tian. Beside him was an old man dressed in a dragon robe and exuding a n.o.ble aura. Chu Yunfan had never seen him before, but he could tell from the royal aura on his body that he was a member of Great Wei’s imperial family.

Chu Yunfan was a little stunned. He never thought there was such a person in Great Wei’s imperial family. Previously, he and Wei Wuji had joined forces to fight against the previous emperor, but they hadn’t encountered this man. He didn’t know whether it was because he didn’t want to get involved in worldly affairs or because of the previous emperor’s instructions.

In short, if this old man had attacked at that time, Chu Yunfan would not have been able to get away with it. After all, he only had the combat strength of a half-step Core Former at that time. At most, he could only protect himself.

However, it made sense when he thought about it. Jinzhanghan had more than one Core Former. It was unlikely for Great Wei’s imperial family to not have a single Core Former. If that was the case, the khan alone could probably overturn the entire capital of Great Wei.

Although there was a difference in cultivation between Core Formers, it was a completely different matter if there was another Core Former overseeing them.

Other than the group of people from Great Wei’s imperial family, there was also a group of people carrying the banner of Great Qi’s imperial family. The leader was also an old man wearing a royal robe. He was probably similar to the expert from Great Wei’s imperial family. They were all hidden experts from the two kingdoms’ imperial families. Most likely, they were even part of the imperial family. With the wealth, resources, and manpower of the two imperial families, it would be unbelievable if they couldn’t produce a few experts.

In addition, the imperial family of a third kingdom was also present. They were the experts of Jinzhanghan. The leader of the experts was a middle-aged man who wore a robe embroidered with wolves.

‘The Left King of Jinzhanghan!’ Chu Yunfan’s pupils contracted slightly.

This middle-aged man was somewhat similar to the khan and the Right King. In addition, his cultivation was much stronger than the Right King’s. He had reached the peak of the intermediate Core Form Stage and was one of the strongest experts in this group.

Therefore, it was not difficult to guess the ident.i.ty of this person. He was the crown prince of Jinzhanghan, the Left King.

Jinzhanghan was indeed the most powerful among the three kingdoms. They had brought with them forty to fifty experts. The weakest of them was at the half-step Core Stage, and most of them were top experts who had entered the Core Stage. In terms of strength, only Great Wei and Great Qi combined could be compared to Jinzhanghan.

In addition to Jinzhanghan, there was a group of experts wearing the uniform of the Netherworld Sect. They were undoubtedly the experts of the Netherworld Sect, the largest sect in Jinzhanghan. The status of the Netherworld Sect in Jinzhanghan was similar to that of the Monster Subduers in Great Wei.

There was also a group who stood at the side and did not fit in with everyone else. Their bodies emitted a dense demonic aura. Chu Yunfan took a look and saw that these fellows were all hidden in their cloaks. But there was no doubt that they were the experts of the Ultimate West Demon League. Because they were demons, they kept a distance from everyone.

Not long after, the owner of the last sword token, Nine Stars, arrived. The sect master of Nine Stars took the lead. When he saw Chu Yunfan, he snorted coldly and his eyes flashed with an unfriendly light.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, an old man in yellow walked out from the crowd and said, “Now that everyone is here, take out your sword tokens and prepare to open the treasury.”
