Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 315 - 140: Daoist Priest Fan is extremely experienced, so even for the first time, it won’t hurt (A 10,000-word mega - !)_2
"I couldn’t have imagined... that the lord of the Nanjun Prefecture Government and the Thousand Household from the Imperial Heaven Prefecture would dare to venture deep into danger to rescue someone."
"My lord," the middle-aged man’s companion, a young man of exceptional bearing, spoke. However, in the presence of the middle-aged man, he appeared rather humble, "By the sound of it, that Daoist Priest Fan is quite formidable, isn’t he?"
"Indeed," the middle-aged man replied, "I would guess he’s one of those old monsters who’s lived for hundreds of years! Cultivators from the Daoist Sect, if nothing else, do indeed live for a very long time."
"Who would have thought that after being away from Nanjun Prefecture Government just one year, I would return to such a significant incident."
The middle-aged man’s tone carried a hint of emotion.
"However..."
As he spoke, his brow furrowed involuntarily, sitting in the spacious carriage, he lifted a corner of the curtain next to him and said with suspicion, "Each year when we come to the Nanjun Prefecture Government, the Eldest Young Master from the branch family always comes to greet us."
"Why is this year so exceptional? We have already delved deep inside the prefecture, and it has been so long, merely an hour away from reaching the branch family, and yet we haven’t seen a single person from the branch family?"
The middle-aged man’s tone carried a trace of dissatisfaction, "Could it be that they don’t understand what we represent? A small branch of the Fu Clan in Nanjun actually failing to welcome the main family’s convoy?"
"Have these people from the branch families, within their own small corners of Nanjun, become too comfortable? Have they stopped respecting us, the main family from the Imperial City?"
"My lord, in these past years our Fu Clan’s Nanjun branch family indeed has been as prosperous as the noonday sun, even becoming one of the foremost great families within Nanjun Prefecture Government," the young man said.
"Perhaps... they believe by now they can almost do anything they want within Nanjun Prefecture Government, and thus they think our main family can’t control them."
"Hmph!" Hearing this, the middle-aged man let out a cold snort, "Has Fu Daoxiong, the head of the branch family, forgotten how many years ago, when he and his father left the main family to make their way to Nanjun, our main family from the Imperial City gave them such great assistance?"
"How many years has it been, three to five hundred? He has already forgotten that he was born into the Imperial City’s main family?"
"Has he forgotten the assistance given to him by the main family?"
At this point, the middle-aged man took a deep breath, allowing his thoughts to settle, then said coldly, "When we get to the Fu Clan’s branch house in Nanjun Prefecture Government, demand that this year they give fifty percent more tribute to the main family in the Imperial City than in previous years!"
"That is the price for their disrespect towards the main family!"
Having said this.
The middle-aged man began to rest with his eyes closed.
This large convoy continued to speed along the roads of the Prefecture Government, and after almost half an hour, finally slowed to a stop.
The middle-aged man, who had been resting for a good while, finally opened his eyes.
He again lifted the curtain.
He saw that they had arrived at their destination.
But still.
No one was there to greet them.
His brows were tightly knit, and his face no longer expressed suspicion but a thick shade of indignation. He was so angry that he slapped his palm down on the carriage.
Bang!!!
The carriage, made of sturdy wood, now bore a palm print, indented an inch deep, causing the young man beside him to swallow nervously.
The middle-aged man looked furious, his eyes filled with rage, his teeth clenched as he said, "Outrageous audacity! They really have grown too bold! Do they truly think that by being a significant family in Nanjun, they can disregard the main family!?"
"How dare they!!!!"
"Off the carriage!!!!!"
The middle-aged man forcefully pushed aside the carriage’s curtains and, with an angry expression, stepped out, ignoring the young man scurrying behind him; he pushed through the carriage drivers blocking his way.
Upon viewing the desolate entrance of the Fu Clan’s house in the Nanjun Prefecture Government, he was even more enraged, smoking with anger, "Not even a gatekeeping house servant is present, nor are they willing to let a few house servants out to greet us!!!!!"
The middle-aged man walked straight towards the direction of the Fu Clan’s residence.
Facing the newly repaired, but still somewhat dilapidated, firmly shut gate...
He paused momentarily.
But the inner indignation, coupled with the pride coming from the main family in the Imperial City, didn’t allow him to think too much more.
He simply kicked directly at the gate.
Bang!!!!!!
The somewhat dilapidated and recently repaired gate was immediately kicked open. The shaky gate fell once again, collapsing to the ground and breaking apart.
A line of people poured into the Fu Clan’s estate, only to come face to face with a group of members from the Imperial Heaven Prefecture.
The middle-aged man was taken aback.
The Imperial Heaven Prefecture members were taken aback as well.
The reason for so many Imperial Heaven Prefecture members still being inside the Fu family’s house was because the mansion in Nanjun was so large, it seemed like an estate within the Prefecture Government grounds. The Imperial Heaven Prefecture had been searching and confiscating property for several days, yet every day they still made new discoveries.
Some Imperial Heaven Prefecture members even stopped returning to their accommodations, instead, they cooped up inside the Fu Clan’s mansion, daily continuing their confiscation and searching for evidence of the Fu Clan’s past crimes.
As this group of Imperial Heaven Prefecture members was preparing for another day of property seizure, they saw a group of people kick open their newly repaired gate.
The door collapsed to the ground, broken apart.
