Chapter 637: Chapter 193: Shocking Change in Qiulong County! The Name of Fan Wu Known to All! (17,000-word Mega Update)_5
It can be said that the rumors about Daoist Fan Wu had already spread within the Nanjun Prefecture Government.
They reached a point where everyone knew and no one was ignorant.
His fame was comparable to that of the Prefecture Head himself!
Moreover, he had heard that Daoist Fan Wu had already left the Nanjun Prefecture Government. At the time, he felt somewhat regretful that he didn’t have the chance to meet Daoist Fan Wu in person.
But now...
It seemed like he had met him today?
Uh...
Perhaps?
"What do you think?" the Little Banner Officer of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau didn’t answer the question directly, but instead posed a question back to the young garrison soldier.
The young soldier’s IQ and EQ were both up to par, and he could sense the implied meaning in the Little Banner Officer’s question.
This made him involuntarily take a sharp breath.
"Daoist... Daoist Fan Wu!" The young soldier quickly lowered his horizontally-held spear, his face full of embarrassment and excitement.
The embarrassment was because he felt he had been blind.
He had not recognized the legendary Daoist Fan Wu and had even treated him as a suspicious person, intending to stop him for a thorough interrogation.
The excitement was because he had finally met the Daoist Fan Wu he had always wanted to see!
So this is what Daoist Fan Wu looks like!
Indeed, tall and mighty!
Not an ordinary mortal!
Yes, of course...
Only such an imposing person could single-handedly cut through the entire Fu Clan. Compared to Daoist Fan Wu, those frail and weak-looking Taoist priests didn’t seem like Taoist priests at all!
Only Daoist Fan Wu.
Qualified as a Taoist priest!
Straightaway, Fan Wu and his companions... were allowed inside by the Nanjun Prefecture garrison soldiers. After all, this was Daoist Fan Wu, who was rumored to have some familial ties with the Prefecture Head. In such a situation, how could they possibly stop him?
Moreover, since Fan Wu and his people’s arrival was not kept secret, and no one deliberately blocked the information,
the news of Fan Wu’s arrival at the Nanjun Prefecture Government spread rapidly in less than half an hour, disseminating in all directions.
It made more and more people aware of it.
Especially some of the big shots within the Nanjun Prefecture Government, who already had many informants within the government. Apart from the garrison soldiers and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, they were the first to receive this piece of news.
"...Have you all received the message?" In one of the more private inns of the Nanjun Prefecture Government, a gathering of individuals took place, and one of them spoke up, "That guy has come back, and I’ve also heard some rumors about him after he left the prefecture, it seems like he has become even more formidable."
The people gathered here were each more distinguished than the last, with their clothing and appearance radiating luxury.
They were all big shots in the Nanjun Prefecture Government.
These individuals were either the heads of great families, the leaders of certain powers, helmsmen of corporations, high-ranking officials within the government offices, abbots of certain temples, or observatory masters of Taoist temples.
If these people were to stamp their feet, the entire Nanjun Prefecture Government would probably tremble thrice.
Altogether, they formed a terrifying force that even the Prefecture Government offices would have to take seriously.
Yet, such significant figures were feeling uneasy at this moment.
As if they were fearing something.
"Do we... really need to be so afraid of that Fan Wu?" A middle-aged man furrowed his brow and said, "No matter how powerful he is, he is still just one person. Together, are we all so afraid of him?"
"Have you heard of the Fu Clan in the Imperial City?" An elder beside him glanced at the middle-aged man and spoke with his hand tucked in his sleeve, "I heard that even the main house of the Fu Clan from the Imperial City has been eradicated by this Fan Wu."
As he said this, a look of wariness filled the elder’s eyes, "You must know, the Fu Clan’s main house in the Imperial City was a renowned Great Clan. They had the Dragon Support Technique and enjoyed vast connections in the Imperial City, with many high-ranking officials of the Imperial Court closely related to them."
"I’ve even heard that the main house of the Fu Clan possessed an Iron Token of Exemption from Death bestowed by the Founding Holy Emperor! Such a Great Clan was wiped out by Daoist Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple, and yet no one sought revenge for them."
Taking a deep breath, the fear in the elder’s eyes even turned into a trace of terror, "You can imagine the extent of his deterrence; no one dares to speak for the Fu Clan’s main house!"
"On top of that... this person turned the tide during the turmoil in the Imperial City and even saved the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is likely to become the Emperor soon, which means he’s credited with saving the heir apparent!"
"All these layers add up, as if they were sculpting a golden body for him. He can virtually walk sideways through the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"As long as he does not rebel, he is second to none and above ten thousand, truly worthy of being called a Terrestrial Immortal."
After these words were spoken, all present fell silent; they knew the old man was correct. His words were not exaggerated. Daoist Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple was indeed that formidable.
