Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 853 - 233: The Great Yan Emperor’s Shock! The Lifesaver is a Wanted Criminal?_5
"The Imperial Court has offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver for Daoist Fan Wu!"
"The old servant initially thought there was a mistake, perhaps just a similarity in names... but the characteristics of the ’murderer’ are exactly the same as those of Daoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple."
After uttering such words, the tears of the old eunuch were nearly flowing, how could he have encountered such a situation?
How did he come across such a high-ranking individual who is also a wanted criminal by the Imperial Court?
Moreover... a wanted criminal with a reward of 1,000 taels of silver!
Hisss!!!
Good heavens!
How could this be?
Upon hearing the old eunuch, named Eunuch Zhao, express such remarks, even the Great Yan Emperor fell into a dead silence. He had never anticipated such a development; who could have imagined... that these events were connected?
Some time ago, the Great Yan Emperor was aware of the massacre of the Holy Fire Guard in a county town within the Great Yan Dynasty. After all, the Holy Fire Guard was special, and such a significant event was impossible for him, as the Emperor, not to know.
But what he had not anticipated was... the person who killed so many of the Holy Fire Guard turned out to be the very individual before him... the high-ranking person who helped the Great Yan Dynasty resolve the terror of the Demons and Devils!
So to say, a court wanted criminal was within five steps of him, the Emperor?
No...
No, that is not the point!
The point is that such a powerful being was offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver by their Great Yan Dynasty?
For a moment, the Great Yan Emperor almost wished he could flay the official who issued the warrant! To put it bluntly, such a powerful being, whether he killed dozens or even thousands of Holy Fire Guards, their Great Yan Dynasty couldn’t afford to be in conflict with him.
Not to mention offer a reward!
But alas, their Great Yan Dynasty had indeed issued a reward!
How could this be such a coincidence?
It’s simply unbelievable!
At that moment... the Great Yan Emperor only heard, Fan Wu speak, "Oh... you are correct, I am indeed a wanted criminal under pursuit by your dynasty. How come... does the Great Yan Dynasty need an Emperor to personally capture a wanted criminal?"
The Great Yan Emperor: "..."
The old eunuch: "..."
An eerie silence lingered for quite a few breaths, eventually broken by the Great Yan Emperor, "This must be a misunderstanding."
Being an Emperor of the dynasty, the Great Yan Emperor still retained his reason.
He knew some matters had to be turned over.
Even if it seemed somewhat embarrassing.
But it must be resolved.
"Enough already." Fan Wu chuckled, "Whether you reward me 1,000 taels, 10,000 taels or even 100,000 taels of silver, I won’t quibble over this matter with you. Resolving this demon was not out of any fondness for your Great Yan Dynasty, but merely done incidentally."
After saying such words, Fan Wu departed, and both the Great Yan Dynasty and the old eunuch didn’t know what to say to keep him. Or rather, they didn’t know if they should try to keep such a person, since they had issued a warrant against him.
That Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple not dwelling on this matter further was indeed a great mercy on his part.
"Phew..." Watching the receding figure of Fan Wu, the Great Yan Emperor ultimately did not offer any words of retention. He slowly exhaled, not even knowing himself what his feelings were at that moment.
"Your Majesty..." When the old eunuch behind him wanted to say more, he realized that the Great Yan Emperor’s expression was not particularly good, so he had to hold back his words.
Suddenly.
The Great Yan Emperor spoke, "Re-investigate the Holy Fire Guard incident thoroughly. I want to comprehend the full origin and development of the event, from start, through the process, to the end, crystal clear."
The old eunuch was startled; serving alongside the Emperor for so many years, he knew the Emperor seemed somewhat angry.
But this sort of anger seemed not to be directed towards the recently mentioned Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple, but rather towards some subordinates.
Indeed...
The old eunuch knew what the Great Yan Emperor was angry about; their Great Yan Dynasty had almost deeply offended such a powerful being, how could he not be furious? Missing an opportunity to bond with such a powerful being, how could he not feel enraged?
"Yes!" The old eunuch immediately nodded solemnly, "This old servant will ensure the subordinates investigate thoroughly, never again wronging Daoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple!"
"..."
...
Elsewhere.
"It’s like a dream." The person who uttered these five words was Patriarch Liu, who, compared to those in the Imperial Palace, seemed to be in less disarray. At that moment, he looked around at the considerable damage and exclaimed, "That Taoist Priest is truly like an Immortal God!"
Were it not for fear of overstepping the place of the Immortal Gods above, Patriarch Liu even thought that Fan Wu was more formidable than some of the heavenly Immortal Gods! At least, he, the head of the Liu Family, had never heard of any deity who could wreak such unimaginable destruction within this human realm.
