Chapter 801: Chapter 224: Great Yan Imperial City! Patriarch Liu: ??? (Ten thousand words)

Not far away.

The Governor of Zhu Yao City gazed at the devastation nearby, feeling his throat dry up. A sharp-eyed junior official beside him passed a water bottle, and after he gulped down some cool water...

He managed to slightly calm his turbulent thoughts.

He couldn’t help but wipe his forehead only to find his hands drenched, not from a leaking bottle, but from the cold sweat on his brow.

Moreover, it was already autumn, far too cool for midday heat to cause such sweating.

He was purely frightened by the disastrous scenes before him.

Only when he witnessed the site of last night’s confrontation did he finally realize... the immense terror of the being he had almost provoked!

Terrifying!

A Governor of Zhu Yao City, fearful of a fugitive wanted by the Imperial Court... Should such news spread, many would surely laugh out loud, and many colleagues within the court would look down on him.

But the Governor no longer cared about others’ opinions; he was only concerned about his own life and the Black Gauze Cap perched atop his head.

Last night, he had narrowly avoided provoking Qiu Long Temple’s Fan Wu, who could slay Demons and Devils.

Fortunately, the Holy Fire Guards were sensible.

And quite perceptive.

Realizing that Qiu Long Temple’s Fan Wu was not to be trifled with, they chose not to provoke him and stood quietly aside.

The Governor greatly appreciated this about the Holy Fire Guards!

Although this might seem cowardly, "knowing the times makes one a wise man." It was clear to anyone with eyes that Qiu Long Temple’s Fan Wu should not be provoked; doing so would be sheer folly!

"Are you sure that Qiu Long Temple’s Fan Wu has left Zhu Yao City?" the Governor said, vigorously wiping the sweat off his forehead, only to find it increasing.

He simply stopped wiping.

Turning to the official beside him, he asked, and then added, "How long has it been since he left Zhu Yao City?"

The junior official really wanted to retort—he had confirmed it many times and had repeatedly informed his superior, yet why was he still asking?

Of course, such thoughts remained unspoken. The official quickly replied, "Reporting to Your Excellency, Qiu Long Temple’s Fan Wu has left; he has been gone from our city for over two hours."

"Two hours? That should be quite far off, right?" the Governor murmured to himself, "Good, good... The farther the better, the farther the better!"

He felt that his city could not accommodate such a mighty figure; if such a powerful being were angered, even he, the Governor, couldn’t bear the fury.

The Governor placed himself in the shoes of the demon from last night, shuddering all over.

That demon had lasted only a stick of incense under Fan Wu’s hand; as for himself,

he wasn’t sure if he could withstand a single breath.

This wasn’t self-deprecation but a deep understanding of his own power.

In other words...

He knew his limits well!

A cultivator from the Great Zhou Dynasty, wanted by the Great Yan Dynasty, had used formidable power to slay a demon in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Such news had inevitably spread throughout Zhu Yao City,

letting the locals know that last night’s incident involved a battle against demons!

They had thought... it was a battle between gods and demons, only to realize it was one man!

Could one person be that powerful?

But as the news spread wider, everyone inevitably believed it, for why else would the authorities allow such news to circulate so widely?

So, a fugitive wanted by the court had resolved a crisis for them in Zhu Yao City of the Great Yan Dynasty,

preventing a demon from breaching the city?

"Good heavens... so last night’s creature was truly a demon!" remarked a citizen of the Great Yan Dynasty, patting his chest with lingering fear, his face full of dread: "Last night... the noise was so terrifying, I thought my house was about to collapse. Thank goodness it didn’t, but it scared me to death!"

"It wasn’t just about houses collapsing? I felt... even the ground was sinking! In my house... all the chickens, ducks, and geese were restless. I even found several chickens dead this morning from fright! I had raised these chickens laboriously for two and a half years!"

"Then what do you want to do? You surely can’t expect to get those chickens back from that demon, right? Just be thankful that you didn’t lose your life, that’s a big enough fortune among misfortunes!"

"Yes... If it weren’t for that fugitive’s intervention in saving Zhu Yao City, we likely would have died at the hands of that demon."
