Chapter 1858 Reporting To The Imperial City, Cultivation Advancement Is Near

In just over a year, the environment of Baotai had undergone earth-shaking changes. With a strong army like the external army guarding the city, the foreign tribes couldn't infiltrate the border areas.

Chu Yunfan only had one att.i.tude toward the forces that had infiltrated the city, and that was to uproot them. No matter who they were colluding with, if they were found out, they would be executed. Under the iron fist of lightning, even the local bandits were uprooted, let alone the forces of the foreign tribes that had infiltrated.

Originally, there were a large number of hu bandits living in the border areas. With the strength of the original Baotai garrison, it was naturally impossible to eliminate them. Once they left the city, they might be ambushed and completely wiped out.

Under such circ.u.mstances, these bandits were extremely arrogant. Now that the external army had risen, these bandits could only flee. After capturing all the bandits, Chu Yunfan beheaded them and built a warning to intimidate the bandits.

With a peaceful environment, Baotai naturally developed quickly. In just a year, it had developed by leaps and bounds and became the center of many nearby cities. After all, not all border towns had such conditions. This was no longer a frontline city, so it was naturally impossible for there to be elite troops stationed there.

Even when they were at the front line, it was impossible for them to defend against the attacks of all kinds of bandits. This was because the most elite troops were responsible for resisting the demon army and did not have the time to pacify the place. They could only defend the city from hara.s.sment. Some remote places would inevitably be hara.s.sed by these bandits. This was an old problem.

It wasn't that Grand Xia didn't want to resolve this, but Grand Xia was facing all-powerful enemies from all directions. Even with the strength of the empire, it was still a little difficult.

In addition, after Baotai became an inland city, the garrison troops were longer second-line local garrison troops. They could defend the city, but they were unable to go out to suppress the bandits. In addition, these bandits knew the severity of the situation and did not dare to attack the city. Otherwise, in a fit of anger, Grand Xia would be able to uproot these bandits in just a breath's time.

Therefore, many cities turned a blind eye to these bandits. However, Chu Yunfan did not care about these unspoken rules. He basically killed everyone he caught without any mercy.

The entire area around Baotai became a forbidden zone. The people of Baotai could see the cavalry of the external army coming out of the city from time to time. Hundreds and thousands of them would take turns to exterminate the bandits. They would return triumphantly in a few days. The ordinary bandits were no match for the army. Even if there were some hidden experts among them, they were no match for the Flying Celestial disciples.

It was not until the actual extermination of the bandits that Chu Yunfan realized how chaotic the nearby area was. The supporters behind many bandits might be the disciples of some evil cult. However, they were basically no match for the Flying Celestial disciples. These were all the elite disciples of the sect.

In fact, Chu Yunfan had even encountered bandit leaders at the Cosmos Stage. Ordinary Flying Celestial disciples were not their match, and in the end, Chu Yunfan personally attacked and killed them in one blow.

After a few bandit leaders in the Cosmos Stage were killed, all the experts among the bandits fled. They all heard that a ruthless person had come.

On this day, Chu Yunfan was holding a doc.u.ment from the Grand Commandant's Office in the commander's office in Baotai. It was a promotion doc.u.ment promoting Chu Yunfan from Second Grade General to First Grade General.

The speed of his promotion was so fast that it would probably scare the eyes of many people. However, Chu Yunfan was not surprised. After more than a year, he was still the same as before. He looked like he was in his early twenties, and there was a hint of understanding and certainty in his expression.

In Chu Yunfan's opinion, this was only a matter of course. In this year, he had personally killed more than ten Cosmics. They were all old bandits who had committed countless crimes and had acc.u.mulated a lot of blood debt. Therefore, Chu Yunfan didn't show any mercy. These Cosmics were basically at the first, second, or third level of the Cosmos Stage. They were ranked at the bottom among the Cosmics.

However, even sixth or seventh-level Cosmics were no match for Chu Yunfan. They were all killed with one punch. There was no essential difference to him. Except for a few itinerant cultivators, the rest of the Cosmics were mostly disciples of the large sects in the outer realms. They had become bandits here for various reasons. They even supported many groups of bandits with the goal of plundering all kinds of resources to support their cultivation.

However, all of them had died at Chu Yunfan's hands. In the past year, he had killed more than a dozen Cosmics. In addition to the ordinary bandits, there were more than 100,000 of them. It could be said that he was about to wipe out all the bandits near Baotai. Otherwise, those incomparably ferocious bandits would not have fled at the sight of the wind.

These were all real military achievements. Even if Li Qianyuan, a high-ranking official, wanted to suppress them, it was impossible. After all, the Grand Commandant's Office was not an existence that Li Qianyuan could crush. It was a behemoth that specialized in managing senior officers above the general level.

After Chu Yunfan was promoted to First Grade General, he had to report to the Imperial City. This meant that he had stepped into the ranks of high-ranking military officers. Above that, he would be conferred the t.i.tle of marquis.

However, this was the most difficult step. Grand Xia had millions of regular troops and tens of millions of second-line troops. Among them, there were many generals, but those who could successfully become marquises were still very few. Li Qianyuan was the only one in the younger generation.

However, since he had already reached this critical point, Chu Yunfan thought to himself that it was only a matter of time before he was granted the t.i.tle of marquis. At that time, he would be able to sit on equal footing with Li Qianyuan and would not be afraid of Li Qianyuan's schemes.

"It's been a whole year. I'm getting moldy in Baotai. It's time to go out," Chu Yunfan said calmly.

To him, going to the Imperial City was not only to report on his work but also to take this opportunity to see if he could get news of Tang Siyu.

"However, there's still a month before the debriefing. I'll raise my cultivation to the fourth Cosmos Stage before I go to the Imperial City."

Chu Yunfan's eyes sparkled. No one else knew that his cultivation had reached the critical point of the third Cosmos Stage. He was only one step away from breaking through to the fourth level.
