Could it be...
Could it be their accomplices? After all, to know the details of that group so clearly, the only possibility is that he must be their accomplice, right?
After swallowing his saliva in secret, the Shop Assistant recounted everything that had happened in the guest battle without leaving anything out.
He tried to explain the situation using the simplest sentences possible.
Every single word that the Shop Assistant now spoke,
left Hu Banban with a face full of shock and bewilderment.
"Is it highly likely that they’ve gone to the Fu Clan’s ancestral home in the Imperial City?" Hu Banban exclaimed incredulously.
The Shop Assistant nodded stiffly, replying with a somewhat uncertain tone, "That’s... roughly correct."
"Hiss!!!"
Hu Banban took a sharp intake of breath, he hadn’t expected so much to happen during the four hours he was away.
The Fu Clan descendants being extremely overbearing ⇨ Daoist Fan Wu couldn’t stand by and let this slide, making the other party bleed out in five steps ⇨ Daoist Fan Wu was prepared to kill his way up to the Fu Clan ⇨ Daoist Fan Wu really went!!!
And he even took His Highness the Prince of Nanjun with him!
This is not good!
This is very bad indeed!
Even Hu Banban could hardly recognize His Highness the Prince of Nanjun, so how could those people from the Fu Clan recognize him? What if something happened to the Prince within the Fu family compound? Would he not fail the mission His Majesty entrusted to him?
After all, His Majesty had said—he wanted to bring His Highness the Prince of Nanjun back to the Imperial Palace unharmed.
And also to invite Daoist Fan Wu, Priest Xing Fengzi, Miss Yun Jiuqing, that ox, and the Destiny Coffin... all of them to enter the Imperial Palace.
If he, Hu Banban, couldn’t even accomplish this, would His Majesty blame him?
"Damn the Fu Clan!" Hu Banban cursed inwardly, wondering why the Fu Clan had to act up at a time like this, and it was even in front of Priest Fang Wu.
Moreover, he was well aware of how terrifyingly powerful the Imperial City Fu Clan was. The Fu Clan’s patriarch possessed the Dragon Support Technique!
Within the Fu Clan, there were hundreds of cultivators alone.
Add to that their own influence, many independent cultivators have allied with them.
All the cultivators in the great Imperial City combined, there were probably close to a thousand people, right? Even if most of these people were scattered throughout the Imperial City, with only a few hundred at the family compound, that was still several hundred cultivators!
That number was incredibly exaggerated!
"If anything goes wrong with His Highness the Prince of Nanjun and Daoist Fan Wu, our house will definitely report this matter to His Majesty!" said Hu Banban through gritted teeth.
He rushed out of the inn in a hurry, then quickly mounted his tall horse. Spurring his horse on, he galloped towards the direction of the Fu Clan in the Imperial City.
At this moment, he could only pray silently in his heart, hoping nothing would happen to Daoist Fan Wu and the others.
However, he felt that such a possibility was too low.
With the strength of just a few people, they were attempting to challenge the power of a grand family that had stood for a thousand years.
Hiss...
Are you sure there isn’t a problem here?
...
Imperial City Qiantian Division.
The Deputy Commander of the Qiantian Division of the Imperial City, leading a handful of Hundred Household officers, was approaching the Fu family compound at an extremely fast speed.
In the organizational structure of the Qiantian Division, the Supreme Commander held the greatest authority, followed by the Commandery Prince Co-Commander, and then the two Deputy Commanders.
This Deputy Commander of the Qiantian Division, leading a group of Hundred Household officers, was one of the two third-in-commands in the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Qiantian Division!
The incident at the Fu family was too significant.
To the extent that an ordinary Thousand Households of the Qiantian Division, even if involved in this matter, would not be given face.
It required his position as a Deputy Commander of the Qiantian Division, bringing personnel with him, to perhaps be given a bit of face by both parties.
"My lord, who exactly was bold enough to take action against the Fu Clan?" asked a Hundred Households officer who could not contain his curiosity while speeding along, unable to help but speak out.
"It’s most likely another of the Great Clans," replied the Deputy Commander of the Qiantian Division, with a calm tone.
In reality, this was just his speculation.
A fairly reasonable guess.
After all, the Fu Clan members who came to report to the authorities themselves could not clarify what exactly had happened. They only knew that someone had attacked the Fu family, and it seemed that the attacker was formidable.
How many people were involved in the attack? Who were they? Which power did they belong to? What was their motive?
Those anxious Fu Clan members who came running to seek help from the Qiantian Division...
Not one could provide a clear account.
It left the Deputy Commander of the Qiantian Division completely exasperated, only able to keep guessing in his mind what could have happened to the Fu Clan to be the most reasonable explanation.
"The Fu Clan is no longer as powerful as it was centuries ago," said the Deputy Commander of the Qiantian Division, "And I also know a piece of information. The branch family of the Fu Clan in Nanjun Prefecture who provided blood ties to the Imperial City’s Fu Clan’s main house was wiped out by a Taoist known as ’Fan Wu of Qiu Long Temple’."
"This news came from the Qiantian Division in Nanjun Prefecture not too long ago. A branch family of the Fu Clan in Nanjun Prefecture was exterminated, adding insult to injury for the already declining main family of the Fu Clan in the Imperial City."
"Although we at the Qiantian Division haven’t leaked this news within the Imperial City, it’s possible that some other Great Clan learned of it through other channels."
