Chapter 1898 The Demon God Sect Is Heavily Injured, and the Aftershocks Are Shocking

When this news spread, it caused an endless storm, especially when many things that happened that day were spread.

This kind of thing could not be hidden from others. The number of people who had sealed off Baotai from transmitting information to the outside world was not small. Once there were a lot of people, it was easy to leave traces and the matter was quickly discovered. In other words, it wasn't just the Demon God Sect that was involved that day. There were also people in Grand Xia who were involved, cutting off Baotai's communication channels with the outside world. This forced Chu Yunfan to take the risk and go to the rescue alone, which eventually led to his death.

The moment this news came out, everyone fell silent. After all, this matter involved the Demon God Sect and the demons behind the Demon God Sect. It could be said that it had always been a taboo within Grand Xia. Having something to do with the Demon God Sect and the demons undoubtedly crossed the line.

Grand Xia would never tolerate this. If it was only the Demon God Sect that made a move, it would not have shocked the entire Imperial Court. However, there was a traitor behind it.

A storm brew.

Sure enough, in just three days, the Grand Commandant's Office of Grand Xia personally issued an order to uproot all the families suspected of colluding with the Demon God Sect. More than a dozen small aristocratic families and sects were found to be related to the Demon God Sect and were uprooted.

The main members of these sects and families would be beheaded. The rest would be sent to the toughest mines. Their descendants would never be used within ten generations.

For a time, a bloody storm was set off. There were even rumors that this matter involved the Marquis Huntian, Li Qianyuan. After all, with Chu Yunfan's death, the grudge between him and Li Qianyuan was also revealed. Many people suspected that Li Qianyuan had something to do with the Demon God Sect being able to block the news of Baotai so smoothly.

However, they couldn't find any evidence against Li Qianyuan, and there was a force that secretly quelled the matter, which made many people who disliked Li Qianyuan very disappointed. However, this cast a shadow over Li Qianyuan's reputation.

And this was just the beginning. Following that, the Grand Commandant's Office of Grand Xia sent out orders. Scouts were sent out everywhere, and a large number of garrisons were mobilized to raid the Demon God Sect's encampments in various places.

In a short time, dozens of Demon God Sect's branches were destroyed and uprooted. However, most of the branches had long been empty as if they had already expected Grand Xia's revenge. Even so, the destruction of dozens of Demon God Sect branches was a heavy blow to the Demon God Sect.

The local powers that were related to the Demon God Sect were all investigated. The Demon God Sect's power in Grand Xia regressed by decades overnight.

All of Grand Xia watched the actions of the Grand Commandant's Office in silence. No one knew what was the reason for the Grand Commandant's Office to be so furious. To be precise, it was the number one person in the military, the Grand Commandant, who was furious.

After all, it was just a prodigy on the prodigy list who had died. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this.

Very soon, more news came. Only then did everyone know that this matter was related to a top figure of the demons. That figure had disregarded his dignity and identity to personally attack Chu Yunfan, angering the Grand Commandant.

Everyone was curious about what Chu Yunfan had done to make such a big shot disregard his dignity and tacit understanding to personally attack. But no matter what, it was meaningless. After all, Chu Yunfan had already fallen.

This series of events dazzled everyone. From the fall of Chu Yunfan on the prodigy list, the rage of the Grand Commandant's Office, the shock of the Imperial Court of Grand Xia, and the heavy losses suffered by the Demon God Sect. Many sects and clans in Grand Xia were uprooted, implicating at least hundreds of thousands of people. It could be said to be an unprecedented catastrophe.

And the person who caused all this was Chu Yunfan.

"He's really dead?" Many of those in the Flying Celestials found this unbelievable.

Chu Yunfan had made a name for himself in the Flying Celestials a long time ago. He was so powerful that he even defeated Ye Yin, who was ranked second and was only below Yang Dengxian, who was ranked first.

The next generation that the Flying Celestials had nurtured was eliminated by the Demon God Sect just like that, and everyone could feel that the atmosphere in the sect had stagnated. At Chu Yunfan's level, he could influence the entire sect. He had many fans within the sect. At first, they didn't believe it, but the series of events that happened later showed that it should be true. Otherwise, the Grand Commandant's Office wouldn't be so angry.

Even Chu Yunfan's name had been erased from the prodigy list. It proved that something. This person, who had once amazed them, had fallen halfway, just like so many talented geniuses since ancient times. As the saying went, the last laugh was the best. No matter how amazing one's talent was, if one couldn't walk to the end, it would be meaningless.

At this moment, within the Imperial Capital of Grand Xia, Li Qianyuan was sitting on the main seat in his residence. He looked at a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar with a happy expression.

"Why did you come here personally?" Li Qianyuan asked.

The scholar looked gentle and refined, and his eyes flickered with the divine light of wisdom.

"His Royal Highness sent me to tell you that there are some things that are best left untouched, Your Grace. His Royal Highness personally helped you erase your traces, but there won't be a next time," the middle-aged scholar said, "Although they couldn't find evidence, the Grand Commandant doesn't need evidence. As long as there's suspicion and a reasonable reason, it's enough."

Li Qianyuan's expression changed at the mention of the Grand Commandant. Even as a marquis, he had to lower his head in front of the Grand Commandant. Not to mention him, even the crown prince had to lower his head. The Grand Commandant was truly the number one person in the military. If the crown prince wanted to take the throne, he needed the Grand Commandant's support.

The Grand Commandant was clearly very unhappy about this incident. If the crown prince hadn't stepped in to erase all traces and suppress the undercurrent, he would have been implicated. Thinking of this, Li Qianyuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Moreover, His Royal Highness will surely ascend the throne in the future, and you will be a minister of the court. Once such a thing is discovered, it will destroy your future. The prince hopes that you will be careful, Your Grace," the scholar warned.
