Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 321 - 141: Heading to the Great Zhou Imperial City! The Destiny Coffin Escapes Again! (10,000-Word Mega - , Subscription Requested)_2
"However..." Si Ma Hundred Households cautiously reminded, "Daoist Priest Fan, I have something to say, although I’m not sure whether it should be spoken."
"Speak freely." Fan Wu, who had killed the clan members of the Fu family, remained as calm in his countenance and tranquil at heart as ever.
As if the ones he had killed weren’t more than twenty cultivators.
But rather as if he had nonchalantly crushed more than twenty ants.
Si Ma Hundred Households hesitated, "Although you, Daoist Priest Fan, may not care about that main Fu Clan, I still feel the need to remind you... The branch of the Fu Clan in the Prefecture Government is already quite formidable, and I estimate that the main Fu Clan is likely to be far more powerful and profound than the branch here in Nanjun Prefecture."
"Especially since that main Fu Clan is a cultivator family from the Great Zhou Imperial City! The Imperial City, that’s right under the feet of the emperor. It’s said that if you casually throw a brick, you could hit a third-rank minister. The waters there are much deeper than what we have in the Prefecture Government."
"Although, I do not have particular knowledge of that main Fu Clan, the attitude with which that fellow Fu Yuantong spoke was so arrogant and domineering..."
"It indicates that the other party has the confidence to be arrogant and to even fall out with Nanjun Prefecture’s Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine."
Si Ma Hundred Households paused and continued, "Daoist Priest Fan, you killed so many madmen from the Fu Clan to help the Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine. Once the main Fu Clan gets wind of this, those guys will probably have you in their sights..."
"I’m not implying that you can’t handle the main Fu Clan, but being targeted by these relentless great families, they might resort to some unsavory underhanded tactics."
"Uh... Daoist Priest Fan, did you hear what I said?"
Si Ma Hundred Households was astounded to find that after his warning, not only was there no thoughtful solemnity on Daoist Priest Fan’s face, but rather a pronounced curiosity.
This left Si Ma Hundred Households utterly bewildered! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Was Daoist Priest Fan not worried at all?
Even if Daoist Priest Fan wasn’t afraid of a head-on conflict with the main Fu Clan, if the opponent employed some cunning schemes, Daoist Priest Fan should find it troublesome, right?
After all, the actions of the Fu Clan in the Prefecture have been underhanded and despicable enough.
The ways of the main Fu Clan...
I’m guessing...
Couldn’t be any better!
In fact, they might even be worse!
"I did." Fan Wu grinned and said, "The way it sounds makes it seem rather interesting; I’m actually very much looking forward to that main Fu Clan giving me a good time."
Si Ma Hundred Households: "...Um, what?"
It seems.
Daoist Priest Fan had listened, but not quite taken in the gravity of what was said; he seemed to be eagerly anticipating an enemy from the heart of the Imperial City!
This feeling, Si Ma Hundred Households didn’t quite know how to describe it with words. If pressed to describe it...
It was as if Daoist Priest Fan were like an old gambler, experienced in the ways of war, who had come across a brothel from the big city.
And this old gambler was filled with extreme anticipation.
Si Ma Hundred Households knew that this analogy wasn’t the best, but in the moment he could think of no better one.
...
The incident with the Prefecture’s Fu Clan quickly reached the ears of the Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine, and naturally, he showed a tinge of anger in his eyes at the audacity of someone daring to attack the Qiantian Divine Leader within Nanjun Prefecture Government.
Although the Thousand Household Leader appeared amiable in front of Fan Wu, it was because Fan Wu was stronger, and the Thousand Household Leader had to be amiable.
If dealing with people the Thousand Household Leader was not familiar with, or those whose strength or cultivation was comparable or slightly weaker than his...
He wasn’t as easygoing.
There would be no amicability to speak of.
"Brazen!" The Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine spat out these two words coldly, but he did not overreact to this news, because of the way more significant events that had happened in the Prefecture in recent days...
Far outweighed this piece of intelligence!
The Thousand Household Leader had grown numb to it.
"Tsk... That’s the Imperial City’s Fu Clan!" On the side of the Thousand Household Leader, someone lifted a teacup, took a satisfying sip of the hot tea, and said teasingly with a chuckle, "I heard that the Imperial City’s Fu Clan has quite a number of connections in the Imperial Court. Initially, that Fu Clan was among those who helped The Holy Emperor establish the Dynasty."
"Rumor has it that after conquering the vast territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, The Holy Emperor granted a number of his generals and ministers Life-Saving Gold Medallions, a total of twenty such medallions."
"Even if you escalate this matter to the Imperial Court, even to the ears of the emperor, it wouldn’t really bother the Imperial City’s Fu Clan."
"After all, not a single person from the Qiantian Divine died."
Upon saying this, the person laughed, "Without significant losses, you’ll find it even harder to act against that family from the Imperial City, and it would probably be difficult to make them pay any price."
The speaker was naturally the good friend of the Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine.
The Governor of Nanjun Prefecture.
The father of Yun Jiuqing.
—Yun Shouji!
The Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine frowned slightly. Yun Shouji’s words seemed cold but were indeed blunt truths, as the facts stood thus. The connections of the main Fu Clan in the Imperial City couldn’t be fully explained in just a few words.
