Chapter 1732 Each With Their Own Ulterior Motives

After Chu Yunfan uprooted the Ding clan, he announced that he would be in seclusion. However, the undercurrents that he had stirred did not end because of his seclusion. On the contrary, all kinds of undercurrents were surging in places that no one could see. Without a doubt, the military camp became the focus of countless people in Baotai.

However, after Chu Yunfan shot the scouts with the Divinity Breakers, no one dared to approach the camp. They only dared to watch from afar, but they were too far away, so these spies often had no way of getting any specific information.

However, half a month later, when an invitation was sent to the camp, all of this peace was broken. All the major forces in the city, including the Chen clan, the Wang clan, Fusion, and Skyreach, jointly set up a banquet and invited Chu Yunfan to attend to discuss the general situation in Baotai.

This made many people in the city look sideways. After Chu Yunfan uprooted the Ding clan, the other major forces in the city finally made their move.

"Is this a sincere invitation or is this a trap?"

Many people had all kinds of speculations, but everyone knew that after this banquet, no matter what the outcome was, it would completely change the situation in Baotai. Whether Chu Yunfan could completely control Baotai depended on this banquet.

At night, a figure quietly entered the camp. With the cover of the night, no one noticed his figure. At this moment, in the colonel's office, Chu Yunfan sat on the main seat and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with interest.

"They set up a trap to deal with me?" Chu Yunfan said slowly.

"That's right. Colonel, remember not to let your guard down. These people even invited foreign aid to deal with you," the middle-aged man said, but he was a little puzzled because Chu Yunfan's reaction was a little unexpected. He didn't feel shocked as if those people's actions were under Chu Yunfan's control.

Could it be that he had been in control from the beginning to the end, or even indulged it?

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man felt a chill down his spine. Everyone had underestimated Chu Yunfan because of his age, but now it seemed that everyone had made a mistake. Chu Yunfan was much more cunning and difficult to deal with than everyone had imagined.

"Of course, I will pay attention to these things. However, I still don't understand. Aren't all the major forces in Baotai one? Why did you choose to help me, Master Xu?" Chu Yunfan questioned.

This middle-aged man was none other than the head of the Xu clan, a relatively large family in the city. But compared to the Ding clan, the Wang clan, and the Chen clan, the size of the Xu clan was still too small. It was not even half of the size of the three families. It could only be considered a medium-sized family.

Seeing that Chu Yunfan had finally asked this question, Master Xu said, "Colonel, since you've asked, I have nothing to hide. The Xu clans' real opponent isn't you, sir, but the other major factions. As long as they are still around, the Xu clan will never be able to stand out."

Chu Yunfan understood everything when he heard Master Xu say this. No wonder he chose to help Chu Yunfan. To Master Xu, the real enemy was the various major forces that suppressed them. As long as the various major factions were still around, this situation would not change for a day. The Xu clan would never have a day to stand out.

However, it would be different if he chose to help Chu Yunfan. Not only was Chu Yunfan more powerful, but even after he eradicated several major forces, he was only a passerby. Chu Yunfan would not stay in Baotai for ten, twenty, or thirty years.

Master Xu understood very well that a figure like Chu Yunfan was like a divine dragon in the sky. Why would he stay in Baotai for long?

Chu Yunfan would leave sooner or later, but the Wangs, Chens, Fusion, Skyreach, and others would stay for a long time. It was evident who would be the long-term enemy in the future.

Chu Yunfan wasn't surprised by this result. These forces seemed to be working together to deal with him, but in fact, they had their own ulterior motives.

Each of them had their own plans and demands.

The Wangs, Chens, Fusion, and Skyreach all hated Chu Yunfan to the bone, but the other small forces might not think so. They naturally had their own plans, but not everyone was as bold as the Xu clan, daring to bet on Chu Yunfan.

"You didn't lie. Very good." Chu Yunfan smiled. "I admire people who know how to adapt to the times. I planned to uproot all the major forces in Baotai, but since your Xu clan is willing to rely on me, there's no need for me to go all out.

"After all, you can see that my future is not limited to a small pond like Baotai. However, while I'm here, I have the final say. As long as you are willing to cooperate, everything can be discussed," Chu Yunfan said calmly.

"I'm willing to die for you, sir!" Master Xu answered.

He was shocked, especially when he heard Chu Yunfan's plan to uproot all the major forces in Baotai. He immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Everyone had underestimated Chu Yunfan's situation and how ruthless he was.

According to Chu Yunfan's plan, these disobedient forces were all on his list of targets. The Xu clan was also on his list of targets, but now he felt like he had escaped a disaster.

"Very good. After I eradicate all the dirt, I will submit a letter to the Ministry of War and recommend you to be the administrative officer of Baotai. As long as you cooperate with me, your future will naturally be yours."

Chu Yunfan looked at Master Xu with satisfaction. The Xu clan was the first force to rely on him, so he naturally had to make a gesture.

"All right, it's late. You can go, but don't let anyone see you, lest they become suspicious." Chu Yunfan waved, and Master Xu immediately left.

After Master Xu left, Chu Yunfan quickly found You Chuyun and told him about the matter. You Chuyun was shocked when he found out that the various factions had set up a trap to deal with Chu Yunfan.
