Chapter 572: Chapter 182: 86 Free Attribute Points! Slay—The Gu God of the Blood Gu Sect! (A long Chapter of 10,000 words asking for subscriptions)_6
"Indeed! We were caught in the ruse of the Blood Gu Sect, a feint to draw the tiger from the mountain. Without Daoist Fan Wu, things could have been dire."
"Fortunately, the turmoil within the Imperial Palace has ended."
"..."
Many people breathed a sigh of relief because just a few days ago, an old Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had just passed away.
If there were no Crown Prince today, then the entire Imperial Palace, as well as the whole Imperial City, would have descended into chaos.
Moreover, such turmoil would spread outwards from the Imperial City in all directions, leading to a situation within the Dynasty’s borders where numerous ambitious rivals would emerge, vying for supremacy.
The entire Dynasty would plunge into a massive chaos!
Although it was expected that, with the current situation of the Zhenhai King in league with the Blood Gu Sect, the Dynasty would sooner or later fall into chaos,
at least it was a lesser chaos than that which would have been caused by the death of a Crown Prince.
There was a Crown Prince who could inherit the throne.
Even if the Great Zhou Dynasty were to fall into war, there would still be someone with the rightful claim to lead the Dynasty’s armies, officials, and commoners.
To confront the Blood Gu Sect and the Zhenhai King...
in a showdown!
...
"The Gu God is dead." From a distance, Xing Fengzi saw the extinguishing of the silent white light, saw that gigantic figure turn to ashes. Even though he had anticipated this, he was still somewhat shocked, "Although it’s not the first time I’ve seen Daoist Fan Wu take action, each time, I am struck by a sense of awe and wonder."
After all, for Daoist Fan Wu to achieve such an extent with the body of a mortal was truly unprecedented.
Xing Fengzi felt that even those senior predecessors from Di Zu Guan...
probably wouldn’t be a match for Daoist Fan Wu, right?
Perhaps.
One would need to summon the ancient ancestors of Di Zu Guan, who had ascended many years ago, to contend with Daoist Fan Wu.
"Is... is it over just like that?" Hu Banban swallowed hard, the development of the situation was faster than he had imagined.
In the blink of an eye, the Imperial Palace had fallen into chaos; then, in another blink, nine huge monsters had appeared.
In the next blink, those nine monsters fused into one, and then Daoist Fan Wu made his move.
In the final blink.
Daoist Fan Wu had dealt with the monster.
Too fast!
So fast that even Fan Wu was caught off guard; he even wondered if the monster was too weak. But upon further thought, that didn’t make sense—if the monster was so weak, why couldn’t the other people inside the Imperial Palace deal with it?
Hiss!
Could it be that Daoist Fan Wu alone was mightier than everyone in the Imperial Palace?
That was utterly unthinkable!
Hu Banban was deeply shocked!
...
"It’s over... but it’s also a beginning." The Crown Prince of Great Zhou had just breathed a sigh of relief when he remembered the myriad of disorders within the Imperial City, causing his brows to furrow deeply once again, "It’s just the chaos inside the Imperial Palace that has ended, the turmoil outside continues."
"Crown Prince, as long as the Imperial Palace is secure and with the Crown Prince leading the situation, the chaos within the Imperial City will eventually end." The Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine said, "The Blood Gu Sect can’t possibly have thousands upon thousands of disciples hidden within the Imperial City. Their numbers are limited."
"One can only hope," said the Crown Prince of Great Zhou after uttering those four words, then he took a deep breath.
Then, he walked towards Fan Wu.
When he arrived in front of Fan Wu, the Crown Prince of Great Zhou clasped his fists in both hands and bowed slightly to Fan Wu.
He bowed deeply to Fan Wu.
His tone was filled with genuine sincerity, devoid of any pretense, and he expressed his heartfelt gratitude, "Thank you, Daoist Fan Wu, for your assistance. Had it not been for Daoist Fan Wu’s intervention, I fear I would have become a corpse by now."
"It was merely a trifling effort," Fan Wu replied casually.
"But Daoist Fan Wu’s trifling effort saved my life. I will remember this life-saving grace in my heart," said the Crown Prince of Great Zhou. "I will also take action to thank you, Daoist Fan Wu."
To be addressed as "you" by a Crown Prince, Fan Wu did not know if this was a first for him.
He only heard the Crown Prince of Great Zhou continue, "Daoist Fan Wu, no matter what kind of demand you make, I, as the Crown Prince of Great Zhou, will do my utmost to unconditionally satisfy your needs."
"Needs..." Fan Wu smiled and said, "I just need a few carriages and some horses with good endurance, preferably those that can pull a carriage loaded with an ox."
"Carriages?" The Crown Prince of Great Zhou was startled, not expecting Daoist Fan Wu’s request to be so simple.
Compared to saving the life of a dynasty’s Crown Prince.
What’s a few carriages worth?
Even if he were to grant Daoist Fan Wu the position of State Preceptor of Great Zhou after he ascended the throne, he would willingly do it without any conditions!
The Crown Prince of Great Zhou seemed to think of something and tentatively asked Fan Wu, "Is Daoist Fan Wu planning to leave the Imperial City?"
"Almost!" Fan Wu said, "I’m preparing to return to Qiulong Temple for a trip and then... follow a route to the Shangwu Dynasty."
"Shangwu Dynasty?" The eyes of the Crown Prince of Great Zhou widened, it was clear that he knew of this dynasty.
After all, the Shangwu Dynasty is also a great nation.
Even if there wasn’t much close interaction between the Shangwu Dynasty and Great Zhou Dynasty, he had heard about the strength of that dynasty.
Much more formidable than their Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Crown Prince of Great Zhou said, "Forgive my presumptuous curiosity, Daoist Fan Wu, but what is your purpose for going to the Shangwu Dynasty?"
"To see what different gains I can find." Fan Wu replied candidly and sincerely.
He wasn’t very interested in his own background, but whether his background would allow him to have many opportunities to gain Free Attribute Points, he was very interested indeed.
However, such an answer was somewhat ambiguous to the ears of the Crown Prince of Great Zhou.
"I see." The Crown Prince took it as Daoist Fan Wu being not quite convenient to disclose these matters.
He promised, "I will have it prepared immediately. Do not speak of a carriage that can pull an ox, even if it’s one strong enough to pull an elephant. Even if the palace doesn’t have one, I can have the palace’s craftsmen make one overnight."
"Just three days... No, two days. In just two days, I can have the carriages that Daoist Fan Wu requires delivered right to your doorstep."
"Hmm." Fan Wu nodded, "Then, thank you, Crown Prince."
Two days was reasonable, given that the Imperial Palace had suffered such destruction; the Crown Prince of Great Zhou needed to put the inner workings of the palace in order before he could take care of other matters.
Anyway, Fan Wu was not in a hurry.
After some thought.
Fan Wu decided to leave the Imperial Palace for a bit. After all, during those two days of waiting, he couldn’t just lie around doing nothing, could he?
One must know that the chaos outside the Imperial Palace, what does it represent now?
It represents... the opportunity to gain Free Attribute Points!
Regarding this.
How could Fan Wu miss out?
...
Time passed.
Imperial City.
"Strange, why has the noise from the palace gone quiet?" A Blood Gu Sect disciple hidden in the shadows couldn’t help but frown, "Could it be they have already succeeded? Could it be that the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty has already died?"
Thinking of this possibility, the face beneath his black hooded cloak was filled with excited expressions.
"Good! If it’s really so... then we’ve succeeded!" he was so excited that he became somewhat agitated.
"You seem to be very excited," said a voice.
"How can I not be thrilled to be personally involved in toppling a dynasty?" the Blood Gu Sect disciple hidden in the shadows near the palace instinctively replied.
However, he froze just as he responded.
Who’s talking...
...behind me?
...
