Chapter 247: Chapter 128: The Origin of Daoist Priest Fan? First Encounter with the Daughter of the Swindler Master! (10,000-word Mega Chapter, Seeking Subscriptions)_6

Uh...

He actually got it right!

Suddenly,

a voice interjected from one side, causing both Monk Zhi Kong and his senior brother Zhi Shan to startle, their hair standing on end.

That voice said: "That Daoist Fan Wu the two little monks are talking about, is he the one who’s very tall and leads an Old Blue Ox?"

The two monks turned their heads in unison toward the source of the voice, only to see a disheveled man with half-white hair standing beside them.

They had not noticed at all when this person had appeared.

This man was none other than the most notorious incense guest of Hanling Temple!

And that was the Nanjun County Prince whose head had been split open by Fan Wu!

"Amitabha..." Monk Zhi Kong swallowed nervously, feeling a tremendous pressure when facing this capricious incense guest, as if facing Daoist Priest Fan himself.

This indicated that the man was a cultivator, and a much more formidable one than Monk Zhi Kong!

And his senior brother Zhi Shan beside him kept making eye signals at him.

The meaning of those signals was very clear.

——Do not provoke this incense guest!

——Or it will end very badly!

Monk Zhi Kong took a deep breath and responded to the Nanjun County Prince, "If there isn’t a second person with such characteristics in the prefecture... then the one we speak of is indeed that Daoist Priest Fan."

"Tsk..." The Nanjun County Prince rubbed his chin, which hadn’t been washed for who knows how many years, "This fellow has such a heavy killing intent, it seems I was lucky to have escaped with my life the other night?"

"An entire family was nearly annihilated, that must be at least a hundred dead, right?"

He showed no interest in the life and death of the Fu Clan.

What interested him was Fan Wu the person.

The Nanjun County Prince ignored the two monks from Hanling Temple with their peculiar expressions and muttered to himself, "How can that guy be so powerful? I have seen those surnamed Fu, and although they suffered from recurring hidden injuries, they are no pushovers once they get ruthless."

"Yet such an old cultivator who has immersed himself in the path for many years cannot defeat that muscle-practicing Daoist Fan Wu?" The Nanjun County Prince scratched his head in bewilderment, "Pure bodily training, no practice of magic or worship of gods and buddhas, yet can be so sharp?!"

"Strange indeed!"

"Strange indeed!"

...

Apart from Hanling Temple, some other powerful entities within the prefecture government, like Taoist Temples or influential families... were also aware of some detailed aspects of the matter.

Their reactions were very uniform; the first thought was to wonder who had fabricated this news.

Have the people spreading rumors nowadays stopped following the basic laws?

But when they confirmed that the event was true, these so-called influential figures fell into a deathly silence!

They really couldn’t believe it.

And even less could they accept it!

Because the Head of the Fu Family, Fu Daoxiong, with his status and position, was indeed one of the most prominent figures in Nanjun Prefecture Government. Within the government, those of higher status, cultivation, and seniority than him could be easily counted on one or two hands.

Not to mention that it wasn’t just Fu Daoxiong, the head of the Fu Clan that was annihilated, but the entire Fu family was essentially wiped out!

It should be noted that among them were many powers that were not as strong as the Fu Clan!

If someone could so easily render the Fu Clan essentially extinct.

Then doesn’t that mean they too could be made essentially extinct by the same person?

Oh no...

For those whose foundation and power were weaker than that of the Fu Clan.

It might be more than just becoming essentially extinct!

It’s quite possible that they could be completely erased!

"To wreak such slaughter within the prefecture, regardless of the reasons, this person is an extremely dangerous existence. Why hasn’t the Imperial Censorate taken temporary custody of this man, instead of allowing him to move freely? With such an uncertain factor, who can ensure that he won’t commit other outrageous acts?"

"It’s been heard... that on the day when the Fu Clan was struck by disaster, that Thousand Households member of the Imperial Censorate was also within the Fu Clan. He did not intervene to stop the Daoist, merely watching as the Fu Clan stepped closer to destruction."

"What? Could it be... that the Imperial Censorate intended to eradicate the Fu Clan? This possibility exists; the Fu Clan has always tried to meddle with the Imperial Censorate, and they have become increasingly blatant over the years."

"I just hope that Daoist Fan Wu doesn’t set his sights on a small family like mine. My family can’t withstand his meddling!"

"I don’t know what he likes, but perhaps... we could send him some gifts, try to curry favor."

"How can you be so craven? A foreigner struts around the Prefecture, killing without blinking an eye, and you esteemed folks want to brown-nose that outsider?"

"Pfft, why doesn’t Head Zhao go meet with Daoist Priest Fan? Test the waters?"

"...Cough, cough!!"

...

Daoist Fan Wu had been in the Prefecture for only two nights and a half day, but within this short time, his actions had shocked the whole Nanjun Prefecture Government.

His name had also entered the sight of many people, and the way many looked at his name...

It was with shock!

With fear!

With anxiety!

Daoist Fan Wu, who had caused such a stir in the Prefecture, was utterly indifferent to the kind of turmoil his actions might provoke.

At this very moment.

He was at the Yun Residence.

Initially, Daoist Fan Wu didn’t know how to feel about facing his swindler mentor’s daughter... But after a second thought, he came to a complete realization.

After all, the opinions of others were insignificant in his eyes, so why would he need to prepare any sort of mentality?

Thus.

Daoist Fan Wu met the swindler mentor’s daughter, who was also Yun Shouji’s wife, Yun Jiuqing’s mother, and his own sworn sister.

She was a dignified and beautiful woman.

Her aura was also quite extraordinary.

Although she was well into her forties, at first glance she appeared to have just turned thirty.

In the world of supernatural marvels.

This was quite rare.

After all, in Daoist Fan Wu’s experience, the average lifespan of people in this world was relatively short.

Excluding cultivators, of course.

Daoist Fan Wu could see that his swindler mentor’s daughter was a commoner, with a Life attribute of 89, which was considered quite long-lived. Her Power attribute was 1.8, within the normal human range.

Fan Jinzhi, the swindler mentor’s daughter, was holding a letter. It was the letter Daoist Fan Wu had given to Yun Shouji to pass on to Fan Jinzhi.

She must have already read its contents, knowing what her swindler father wanted to tell her.

On Fan Jinzhi’s face, which resembled that of Yun Jiuqing, was an expression of sadness that had just begun to fade.

It was evident from her slightly reddened eyes.

She must have had a big cry not long ago.

After all, this was the pain of losing a father; even if the relationship between the swindler mentor and her daughter wasn’t good, they were still bound by blood.

But...

What Daoist Fan Wu found somewhat strange was that Fan Jinzhi’s face also bore an expression... of extreme astonishment.

As if...

There was something bizarre in the letter that had left her utterly shocked.

Fan Jinzhi spoke, "May I... May I call you Fan Wu directly?"

Daoist Fan Wu nodded.

According to seniority, it was normal for her to call him by his name directly, and he wouldn’t insist on being addressed formally, fussing over such matters.

Fan Jinzhi asked, "Did your mentor... ever tell you about your origins?"

Daoist Fan Wu was taken aback.
