Chapter 527: Chapter 175: 26 Free Attribute Points! The Ancestors of the Imperial City Fu Clan! (10,000-word huge Chapter, please subscribe)_3
The Deputy Commander of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau paused, then continued, "Such an incident is very likely to occur, after all, the Fu Clan has operated in the Imperial City for so many years and certainly has many enemies."
"These enemies are not simple characters. Once the Fu Clan shows signs of collapse, they will definitely not hesitate to strike!"
"But..."
The Deputy Commander of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau took a deep breath, "Regardless of the motives on both sides, we must stop the fight! This is the Imperial City! It is under the feet of the Emperor of Great Zhou!"
"When forces collide in arms under the feet of the Emperor of Great Zhou, where does that leave His Majesty’s dignity?"
"Where does that leave the laws of Great Zhou?!"
The headquarters of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau in the Great Zhou Imperial City was not particularly far from the Fu Clan compound. In addition to that, the group included a Deputy Commander of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau and a number of Hundred Households officers.
Their speed was not much different from that of horses, and before long, they had already drawn very close to the Fu Clan.
It was at this moment.
An especially perceptive officer of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau suddenly heard some sounds that were not quite right.
"It’s screams!" that Hundred Households officer immediately exclaimed, "Definitely screams! The fighting within the Fu Clan’s main residence may be more severe than we imagined. Because these are not the screams of one person, but many!"
Another Hundred Households officer next to him said gravely, "If that’s true, then the fighting inside must have reached an extreme level of desperation!"
Hearing this, the expression of the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was not particularly pleasant.
To stir up such trouble right under the Emperor’s nose was one thing, but to cause such a commotion was another.
Was this a complete disregard for imperial authority?
Was this a complete disregard for the Emperor?
About ten breaths later, the main residence of the Great Zhou Imperial City’s Fu Clan was already in sight, with their sprawling buildings that seemed like a grand estate nestled within the Imperial City.
Only a compound this large could accommodate so many people, serving to highlight the distinction between the Great Clans and ordinary families.
By this time, there was no need for the perceptive Hundred Households officer to remind them.
Even the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau could hear the cries of battle and the constant screams coming from inside.
At the same time, he also noticed many people from the Imperial City looking toward the Fu Clan compound from a great distance.
That such an incident had been witnessed by so many commoners.
This was truly troublesome.
"Sir! It seems there are people blocking the entrance to the Fu Clan’s main residence!" At this moment, a Hundred Households officer of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau urgently warned.
The Deputy Commander of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau looked intently and indeed saw several people blocking the way.
Three men and a woman.
And an ox.
And a coffin.
One of the men among the three men and a woman seemed familiar to him but he couldn’t immediately recall who it was. The ox was disregarded by him. However, the sight of the large red coffin made him involuntarily freeze for a moment.
What is this?
"The Destiny Coffin?" the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau couldn’t believe that he was seeing the Destiny Coffin in the Imperial City!
Yes!
He recognized the Destiny Coffin. After all, such a special and strange object was not too big a secret within the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, and naturally, he as the Deputy Commander should not be unaware of it.
"Shouldn’t it be at the Nanjun Prefecture Government?" The Deputy Commander of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was somewhat astonished, "Why is it in the Imperial City?"
And he noticed that there were no seals on the Destiny Coffin, indicating that it was able to move freely at the moment.
What in the world was the Imperial Astronomical Bureau in Nanjun doing?
Letting such a special existence move around freely, were they not afraid that the Destiny Coffin would suddenly run away?
The Deputy Commander of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was perplexed.
While he was deeply frowning, suddenly, a huge commotion erupted from within the Fu Clan mansion, startling him into directing his gaze towards that direction.
Then he watched, wide-eyed, as one person after another was thrown high into the air, only to fall back down in a state of disarray.
Falling from such a height, they must have broken all the bones in their bodies!
Those who were thrown up appeared as though they had been tossed by someone with immense strength.
This feeling was very intense!
"There’s no need to bother with those few people!" After another glance at the few people blocking the entrance, the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau had a rough idea of their level of ability.
He ordered, "Leave one person to watch them, focusing on guarding the Destiny Coffin! The rest follow me inside!"
"Yes, Sir!!"
The Deputy Commander of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, along with a group of Hundred Households officers, directly crossed over the walls of the Fu Clan compound and landed steadily within the mansion.
They looked around with alert eyes towards the scene inside the mansion.
Instantly.
They were stunned!
For they saw one bloody corpse lying on the ground after another, witnessed person after person with severe injuries screaming in agony... They even saw the ground in front of them upheaved, with the overturned dirt appearing to press down on many people.
Because they could faintly hear pleading and screams coming from beneath the turned soil.
Clearly, there were people lucky enough not to be crushed underneath.
