Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 810 - 225: The Girl and the Demon Venerable! Fan Wu’s Assault! _4

The old envoy paused for a moment before responding, "I am not particularly familiar with Daoist Fan Wu, but if you insist on an answer... from my very limited understanding, I think... he would take action."

Daoist Fan Wu wouldn’t care how close that place is to the Imperial Palace. I believe he cares even less what the Situ Family means to the Great Yan Dynasty."

"Even..."

At this point, the old envoy had some hesitation in continuing because what he wanted to say—if Daoist Fan Wu were in the Imperial Palace of the Great Yan Dynasty and detected the presence of Demons and Devils, he feared that he would burst in without hesitation, and utterly disregard the imperial authority of the current emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Such words were not quite suitable for an envoy like him to speak, after all, they were somewhat treasonous.

"Hiss!" Patriarch Liu was sweating coldly, "If the current Emperor comes to know that the Liu Family has some connection with Daoist Fan Wu, and that it was I who told Daoist Fan Wu the location of the Situ Family... will the Imperial Court take action against our Liu Family?"

The old envoy said, "When you told Daoist Fan Wu the location of the Situ Family, you should have considered this possibility."

"This..." Patriarch Liu frowned, "Who could have known that Daoist Fan Wu would rush to the Situ Family immediately without any hesitation?"

Honestly, he was indeed fearful that this incident would bring very adverse effects to their Liu Family.

But the biggest problem was that he found he had no choice in the matter.

Since the Liu Family was only a minor clan, faced with such an event, their only option seemed to be continuous compromise with all parties, apparently having no way to adequately handle the situation.

Would he choose not to tell Daoist Fan Wu the location of the Situ Family?

In that case, Patriarch Liu felt that his small Liu Family could not withstand the wrath of Daoist Fan Wu, who dared to slay even deities!

And his current choice was to disclose the location of the Situ Family to Daoist Fan Wu.

But if Daoist Fan Wu could not handle the Situ Family, then their Liu Family would have to face the fury of the Situ Family.

Damn it!

Amidst his confusion, the Liu Family realized a great crisis loomed over them. Once such a grave crisis befell them, none in the Liu Family could withstand it; even all together, they could not resist.

Moreover, this involved the Demon Venerable known as San Qing Supreme Demon, which alone sounded horrifying.

Patriarch Liu had always thought, being the head of a noble house, he was someone significant.

Yet at this moment, he realized how insignificant he was, unable to solve any issue he encountered.

Everyone he met was untouchable.

"Alas..." Patriarch Liu sighed deeply, "Now all we can do is to quickly send some of our younger family members away from the Imperial City. In case the Liu Family truly faces a great crisis, relying on those younger family members sent away, perhaps we can rise again."

"At least... at least it won’t lead to the extinction of the Liu bloodline, doing so would also honor our ancestors." Patriarch Liu finished off his already cold tea in one gulp.

Then, unable to help himself, he got up again; clenching his teeth, he said, "No, I must personally visit the Situ Family!"

The old envoy was surprised, "Visit the Situ Family?"

Patriarch Liu said, "If Daoist Fan Wu has not come into conflict with the Situ Family, that means this is just a minor misunderstanding. If there has been conflict, that means... this is no misunderstanding."

"If it’s a misunderstanding, then all will be well, and nothing will happen."

"If it’s not a misunderstanding, then I must think of a way out."

The old envoy sighed too.

His influence in the Imperial Court was not very high; he couldn’t help his old friend much either.

The old envoy said, "Don’t worry, since it has come to this, just completely trust Daoist Fan Wu."

"Alas, that’s all we can do."

Patriarch Liu sighed.

...

Great Yan Imperial City.

Situ Family. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

As one of the top-ranking families within the Great Yan Dynasty, the Situ Family had a vastly large family residence in the core area of the Imperial City. In this prime region of the Imperial City, just this residence alone was worth several million taels of silver.

Furthermore, the Situ Family was home to numerous cultivators!

Among them, some cultivators were from the Situ Family, possessing the family’s bloodline. Others were cultivators nurtured by the Situ Family, though lacking the Situ bloodline, they had learned some of the family’s techniques.

Such a family had a millennium of standing within the Great Yan Dynasty, even more formidable than the Fu Clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Because the clan’s power was at its peak, showing no signs of decline.

Even the commoners passing by the residence of the Situ Family looked at their estate with admiration and longing.

It seemed as if entering their grounds to become a house servant would make them rush in immediately without stopping.
