Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 856 - 234: The Great Yan Trembles! Leaving the Great Yan, Heading to Shangwu! _2
"Not only are the Holy Fire Guards who survived questionable," someone questioned, "the official who offered Daoist Fan Wu a thousand taels of silver is also questionable! Whichever cogitation his subordinates pitch, he believes. If you tell me that guy didnโt accept silver from those below him, I wouldnโt believe it!" ๐ณ๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐จ๐๐๐น.๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ
"Even if he didnโt receive any silver, that official is certainly too incompetent, nothing but a scoundrel! Such a person... almost caused devastating casualties to our Great Yan Dynasty. In my opinion, such an official should be sentenced to death!"
"Thankfully, a Taoist Priest from the Great Zhou Dynasty stepped in to save us, otherwise, with such a demon causing chaos in the Imperial City, who would have survived?"
"Damn demons! My house was destroyed by that demon, ah... Now I have to stay at a relativeโs house."
"Being able to save your own life is already good, houses can be rebuilt!"
"Yes, this time, many people died."
"I heard... bodies were hauled out cart by cart, and many bodies were mutilated, not a single one intact, but mere lumps of flesh! Apparently, most of the bodies were people from the Situ Family."
"The Situ Family? The top Great Clan? They really had bad luck this time!"
"Not just bad luck, they nearly faced extinction!"
"..."
If it werenโt for some family members of the Situ Family being outside the Imperial City, the entire clan might have truly faced annihilation. However, at present, the Situ Family could barely be said to have avoided complete ruin. Relying on those family members outside, there was simply no way to revive the Situ Family.
After all, the core group of the family had turned into corpses. And those family members of the Situ Family who were outside, whether they held half the blood of the Situ Family, was uncertain. And these commoners were very pleased to see the downfall of the Great Clans.
They were indeed extremely frustrated by the exploitation from these Great Clans on normal days. But back then, no matter how frustrated, it was futile because by no means could a group of commoners confront a Great Clan, right? The common people do not fight with officials!
Now, seeing a Great Clan virtually wiped out, to say they werenโt happy would be a lie. If it werenโt for the atmosphere, they would love to rejoice and leap for joy!
The most important thing was... the place where Fan Wu fought the demons and devils was quite special, located where many Great Clans had their estates.
The unfortunate Great Clans were not limited to just the Situ Family.
Numerous family estates of Great Clans were in complete ruins!
After all, when even the Imperial Palace of the Great Yan Dynasty had been left in such a state, could their estates hope to fare any better?
And regarding the shock caused in the Imperial City...
Fan Wu and the others were not aware of it.
...
At this moment, Fan Wu and the others had already left the Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty, and they had been on the road for nearly three days. Three days of continuous travel, enough for them to reach the frontier of the Great Yan Dynasty, they had arrived at a small frontier city!
Liu Feng had not come with Fan Wu and the others, but had split from them within the Great Yan Dynasty. Due to the multitude of incidents in the Imperial City, the Liu family also needed support.
For a while, Liu Feng simply couldnโt extricate himself from the Great Yan Imperial City, so he could only genuinely apologize to Fan Wu and the others.
For their part, Fan Wu and the others didnโt really mind, since, after all, they were just along the same route.
Now, Fan Wu and the others, located in this small frontier city called Linhai County, seemed quite prosperous at first glance. It is named so because it is a coastal city with a coastline stretching for tens to hundreds of miles.
"So this is the sea!" Yun Jiuqing, though she had traveled extensively, had actually never been to the seashore. Her impression of the sea was limited to descriptions in books.
Now, seeing the grand and mighty sea with her own eyes, her expression was filled with awe. It was much bigger than any lake she had seen!
"Just crossing this sea, we can reach the Shangwu Dynasty," commented Xing Fengzi next to her. "It looks like weโll need to make a cross-sea journey."
Yun Jiuqing had never seen the sea, let alone Xing Fengzi, this Taoist who had not been down the mountain for long.
Xing Fengzi continued, "The elders in the Taoist Temple told me that the sea is very dangerous. Because the imperial power of the dynasties cannot extend into the sea. There are many terrifying behemoths in the sea, many powerful demons and devils. The rumored Penglai Demon Island is located deep in the sea."
"The biggest challenge we face now... is who would be willing to take us to the Shangwu Dynasty? Especially the closer to the deep sea, the greater the risk, who... would be willing to take that risk?"
"Though just a strait separates the two dynasties, the distance across this strait is not short. Even if there were a bridge over the sea, it would take several days to cross."
"Moreover, atop this grand and mighty sea, who has the power to build such a bridge?"
