Chapter 633: Chapter 193: Shocking Change in Qiulong County! The Name of Fan Wu Known to All! (17,000-word Mega Update)_1
The current situation in Guyuan County has gathered no less than a hundred members of the Imperial Secret Service... The most numerous among them are the ordinary members of the Imperial Secret Service, followed by the Chief Flag Officers of the Imperial Secret Service.
The least in number, though, are those Little Banner Officers of the Imperial Secret Service, with only three or four present here.
That’s because mobilizing Little Banner Officers from other places, whose strength is neither high nor low, isn’t of much use.
Rather than mobilizing Little Banner Officers, it’s better to mobilize more Chief Flag Officers.
And the most distinguished in rank is the Hundred Households of the Imperial Secret Service.
Of course, this Hundred Households isn’t from Guyuan County.
After all, the highest position in Guyuan County initially was a Chief Flag Officer of the Imperial Secret Service, and this Hundred Households was transferred from elsewhere to temporarily command the Imperial Secret Service members in Guyuan County.
Logically speaking, such a figure as a Hundred Households Officer is already a big shot in the Imperial Secret Service, because above that are only a few positions like the Thousand Households, Deputy Commander, and Supreme Commander.
He belongs to the upper-middle ranks of the Imperial Secret Service.
Moreover, due to the unique nature of the Imperial Secret Service, even a Hundred Households Officer of the Imperial Secret Service is no less influential than a Magistrate of a county government.
Yet at this moment, such a Hundred Households Officer was overly humble, almost to a fault.
But no one looked at him strangely, because everyone felt it was most appropriate, and only normal, for the Hundred Households Officer to treat Daoist Fan Wu with such an attitude.
After all, this is Daoist Fan Wu!
This was no ordinary person!
"Thank you, Daoist Fan Wu, for your intervention last night, stabilizing the situation in Guyuan County and slaying numerous evil spirits and malevolent cultivators," said the Hundred Households Officer of the Imperial Secret Service with heartfelt gratitude, "Without Daoist Fan Wu’s help, relying on our own Power, it would have been very difficult to stabilize this locality."
The Hundred Households Officer of the Imperial Secret Service also actively admitted that relying on their hundred or so members, they had no way to restore Guyuan County to a state of peace and stability.
"It was but a trifling effort," responded Fan Wu to the other’s gratitude, "After all, I am a Taoist Priest, and when I see evil deeds, I can’t help but intervene."
But what Fan Wu said was not what he was thinking inside.
Because all he thought about were Free Attribute Points.
If doing such things wouldn’t bring him any benefit in Free Attribute Points, he would still act, but not as thoroughly as he did last night, practically sweeping through the entire county!
Right now in the residence of the Imperial Secret Service in Guyuan County, there still lay the bodies of over twenty malevolent cultivators, all dealt with by Fan Wu.
Besides that...
The blood and perhaps hair or such collected by those malevolent cultivators, related to an Earth Deity that had already perished, was also confiscated by the local Imperial Secret Service.
After all, these were items from the body of a deity, and if they fell into the hands of malevolent cultivators...
That would have been a huge problem!
"I see Daoist Fan Wu and your friends seem to be carrying quite a lot of luggage; where might you be headed?" asked the Hundred Households Officer of the Imperial Secret Service in Guyuan County, uncertain of what else to talk about.
"Back to Qiulong County," answered Fan Wu without concealing his itinerary, for there was no need for secrecy in this matter: "Then leaving the Great Zhou Dynasty, heading to the Great Yan Dynasty, and finally crossing through the Great Yan Dynasty to enter the Shangwu Dynasty."
His words left all the present members of the Imperial Secret Service stunned.
Just mentally tracing the journey he described made them feel overwhelmed, as it was far from ordinary.
"So Daoist Fan Wu is heading to the Shangwu Dynasty?" realized the Hundred Households Officer, "I’ve heard of that Dynasty; I understand it has a vast territory."
Then he didn’t know what else to say.
As that was all he knew.
At this moment, Shen Ji Yue, who was relatively familiar with Fan Wu, suddenly spoke up, "I remember Daoist Priest Fan once said he left Qiulong County to deliver a letter to the Nanjun Prefecture Government. Why then do you appear in Guyuan County? To my knowledge, Guyuan County, Prefecture, and Qiulong Temple don’t form a straight line."
Shen Ji Yue’s question carried no malice or accusatory tone, just pure curiosity.
"Indeed, those three do not form a straight line, but Nanjun Prefecture Government, Guyuan County, and Imperial City do," said Fan Wu.
"Ah?" Shen Ji Yue was taken aback: "Daoist Priest Fan, are you heading to Imperial City?"
Fan Wu nodded heavily, "I’ve just returned from there."
Shen Ji Yue: "!!!"
After gathering her somewhat confused thoughts, Shen Ji Yue spoke, "I have also been to Imperial City. It’s indeed very crowded, but also truly prosperous. I wonder if I’ll ever have the chance to visit Imperial City again in my lifetime."
"Hahaha!" laughed the Hundred Households Officer, "At such a young age, Shen Chief Flag Officer is already a Chief Flag Officer; the future is truly limitless. Sooner or later, you’ll be transferred to the Imperial City."
When these members of the Imperial Secret Service mentioned Imperial City, there was a hint of yearning, for the status of the Imperial Secret Service in the Imperial City was indeed high!
