Chapter 638: Chapter 193: Shocking Change in Qiulong County! The Name of Fan Wu Known to All! (17,000-word Mega Update)_6
After a prolonged silence, someone at last spoke in a low voice, "If they could annihilate a branch of the Fu Clan as well as the main Fu household, nearly wiping out the entire clan, then there’s a possibility... that they might make a move against us."
"Is there even one among us whose family could withstand their attack? To my knowledge, an old ancestor from the Fu main household who fled from the Underworld was slain by them."
"Although I am not certain that the information is accurate, let’s assume it is! And that Fu family ancestor, it is rumored, was a Yin God from the Underworld!"
"No... there’s no way it was a Yin God from the Underworld, right?" someone timidly added, "Even if it were the weakest of the Yin Gods, it would still be a deity!"
"Yes!" another chimed in, "Maybe the ancestor of the Fu main household was just a particularly formidable Yin Envoy."
"... Are all of you so behind on news? Am I the only one who heard that Daoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple once killed a God of the Earth? It’s said to have been the one from Guyuan County."
"What? I’ve also heard about the death of a God of the Earth in Guyuan County, but to think it was the doing of Daoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple?"
"He killed two gods; could it be that the Heavenly Court above and the Underworld below are indifferent to this?"
"Who knows..."
"Hiss!!!"
Many couldn’t help but shiver with this thought.
If someone had killed both a God of the Earth and a Yin God of the Underworld... and had not faced retribution from either the Heavenly Court or the Underworld, just how terrifying would that person’s background be?
Unimaginable!
Inconceivable!
"I must leave!" At that moment, a slightly overweight middle-aged man hastily stood up, ready to depart.
Someone reached out to stop him and asked with a frown, "Where are you going?"
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, "Naturally, I’m going back to warn the younger members of my clan to behave during this period, not to cause trouble. If not, I’ll lock them all up in the clan estate. That way, the younger ones won’t be able to cause trouble and won’t provoke Daoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple."
"I’m even planning to lock up some of the house servants, maids, and even some of the top figures in the family. We’ll temporarily suspend all our family business operations."
"Including me, the head of the family. I’m not leaving the house during this time either, not until Daoist Fan Wu leaves Nanjun Prefecture Government. Only then will I allow members of my family to go out."
The middle-aged man paused, then continued, "As long as Daoist Fan Wu is here for one day, we’ll keep the clan gates tightly shut for that day, to avoid provoking Daoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple."
The people gathered couldn’t help but exchange glances, realizing that what he said seemed to make some sense.
They weren’t particularly clear on just how the Fu Clan had provoked Daoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple to the point where he would even go to the Imperial City and destroy their main household there.
However, they did know that to avoid provoking the other party, it was very simple – it was best not to come into contact with him at all.
Even if it meant that any member of their own clan should not meet with him.
In doing so...
They could eliminate the greatest risk!
"Cough cough! Suddenly, I remember that I still have some matters at home that I haven’t instructed, so I’ll be leaving first," another clan head coughed and quickly scurried away.
Seeing this, the others... also started to leave, wishing they had a couple more legs given by their parents to run back to their clans or their power bases faster.
As long as they could make it back to their families or their power spheres of influence quickly, to instruct their subordinates not to stir up any trouble, then there shouldn’t be any problems, right?
Er...
Perhaps?
...
Meanwhile.
Prefecture Government Office.
After Fan Wu and others arrived at Nanjun Prefecture Government, they headed straight for the Government Office. The Government Officials there recognized them at a glance, instantly identifying both Fan Wu and Yun Jiuqing.
Although they could not determine who Xing Fengzi and Liu Feng were, but since they were following Daoist Fan Wu and the prefect’s daughter, they must be no ordinary individuals.
Letting them in was all that was needed!
Watching Fan Wu and the others enter the Government Office, and then glancing at the several carriages parked by the entrance, as well as an Old Blue Ox and a strangely shaped coffin,
One of the younger Government Officials swallowed nervously and whispered, "So that’s Daoist Fan Wu? Indeed, he’s as tall as the legends describe."
"Yes! He is a significant figure. Moreover, by exterminating the Fu Clan, Daoist Fan Wu has rid the people of a scourge."
"Speaking of which, hadn’t Daoist Fan Wu and his company left Nanjun Prefecture Government some time ago? What brings them back so suddenly?"
"Who knows, perhaps there is some affair they need to address with the prefect. After all, turmoil is starting to arise in these times."
"Alas, who knows when warfare is about to break out!"
"All we can hope for is that the unrest doesn’t reach Nanjun."
"If I had even one-tenth the power of Daoist Fan Wu, then even if the whole Great Zhou Dynasty fell into endless strife and war, I could still preserve my own life."
"Ha! If you had that, you wouldn’t just be preserving your life; you could conquer territories and become an Earth Emperor yourself!"
