Chapter 105 Good riddance! A brilliant death! A truly splendid one!

"Dead well! Dead wonderfully! Dead perfectly!"

Bang!

Cangzhou Prefecture, Fu Family.

The high-level members of the Fu Family gathered in one hall. At the head were the two Old Ancestors of the Family, Fu Yunfan and Fu Youfang.

Although both were Old Ancestors of the Family, because they were both Grandmasters, they did not look very old.

Fu Yunfan looked like a middle-aged man, appearing even younger than the Family Head, Fu Hanpeng.

Fu Youfang was a middle-aged woman with plain features, small eyes, a large nose, and a hint of Evil Qi between her brows.

To the left of Fu Youfang was a solid wood table, which she smashed into pieces with a single palm strike.

"The Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect is truly trash! He couldn't even defeat a boy of the younger generation!"

Fu Youfang gritted her teeth.

This was because among the few people of the Fu Family killed by Yan Chu previously, one was her own younger brother.

Therefore, she hated Yan Chu deeply.

The others in the hall also looked gloomy.

As the Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect, the Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect was no less capable than the two Grandmaster Old Ancestors of their own Family, and might even be stronger.

Yet what did they hear from the news they had just received?

Yan Chu didn't even draw his blade, and with a few powerful strikes, he beat the Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect to death in public?

Even when the Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect used the talisman bestowed by the Marquis, Yan Chu remained completely unscathed!

Did their Fu Family members just die in vain?

Fu Yunfan said solemnly, "The only plan now is to ask the Marquis's Mansion to take action!"

He looked at Fu Hanpeng, who was sitting on the left, "Let Fu Yilian go to the Marquis's Mansion again; the Old Marquis still has a place for her in his heart."

"Hmm..."

Fu Hanpeng nodded slowly.

However, his mind couldn't help but recall a few days ago, when Fu Yilian returned home, dejected and covered in bruises.

"Report!"

At this moment, a servant arrived to report.

"Reporting to the Old Ancestors, people from the Prefectural Governors Mansion have come, requesting the two Old Ancestors to go and discuss matters!"

What?

The Fu Family members looked at each other with joy upon hearing this.

At this time, the Prefectural Governors Mansion sending people must be about Yan Chu's affair; it was exactly what they needed.

When Fu Yunfan and the other arrived at the Prefectural Governors Mansion, they saw it was packed with people.

Not only were the leaders of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect, Tiantai Sect, Four Seas Pavilion, and other Sects present, along with Grandmasters from other families, but even the Six Doors Commander Hong Wei was there.

Most of them, like the two from the Fu Family, had just been called over.

Fu Yunfan and Fu Youfang glanced at each other, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Who didn't know that the Six Doors and the Prefectural Governors Mansion were at odds?

And the Four Seas Pavilion and Tiantai Sect also had close ties with Hong Wei; why would they appear in the Prefectural Governors Mansion?

Meanwhile, the Marquis of Annan, the Governor of Cangzhou Prefecture Sima Yutang, sat at the head, holding an official document, looking grave.

After Fu Yunfan and his companion found a seat, Sima Yutang looked up, surveyed the crowd, and said:

"Is everyone here?"

"This is an official document that arrived from the capital this morning. Xue Bai of Liangzhou Prefecture has raised an army in rebellion, styling himself as Heavenly King Xue. In just half a month, most of Liangzhou Prefecture has fallen."

"The Governor of Liangzhou Prefecture tried to hide the news, but three days ago, he was killed by Xue Bai in the Prefectural Governors Mansion, and his head was hung on the city wall of Liangzhou Prefecture!"

"Heavenly King Xue's army is now marching towards the neighboring Region, and forces along the way are surrendering upon hearing of his approach."

"The Commander of the Region, Chai Yanghui, is terrified and has requested reinforcements from the capital. The imperial court is urgently mobilizing forces from all prefectures to go to Liangzhou Prefecture to quell the rebellion."

Whoosh — The hall was in an uproar after Sima Yutang finished speaking.

Hong Wei and Young Miss Zhao of the Four Seas Pavilion had calm expressions, as if they had long known this news.

"Marquis, what is going on? Why did Liangzhou Prefecture rebel?"

Chen Family Old Ancestor Chen Yu was wearing black battle armor.

He was not only the person with the highest cultivation in the Chen Family but also a General of Cangzhou Prefecture. In terms of official rank, he was on par with the Six Doors Commander Hong Wei, subordinate only to Sima Yutang.

However, the two belonged to different factions and had always disliked each other.

Sima Yutang didn't speak, passing the document down for everyone to read.

The document explained the ins and outs of Heavenly King Xue's rebellion clearly.

When this man was a youth, his Family was destroyed due to persecution by the county magistrate. Later, he achieved Major Achievement in martial arts and returned to wipe out all his enemies.

Later, he was wanted by the Liangzhou Prefecture government, and the woman he loved was tortured to death by the Governor of Liangzhou Prefecture, her naked body hung on the city wall. His brothers were also all executed.

Xue Bai disappeared for twenty years. Twenty years later, when he reappeared, he was already a Supreme Grandmaster of the Mountain Shaking Realm.

His hatred for the government was as deep as the sea, so he raised an army a month ago, and no one in Liangzhou Prefecture could stop him.

Fu Yunfan felt bitter after reading it.

He didn't care about the bullshit rebellion of Heavenly King Xue.

He only cared about whether he could kill Yan Chu!

But with this happening now, the Marquis's Mansion would definitely not have time for Yan Chu, as they had to deal with the imperial court's summons first.

To his left sat the Vice Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect, Wu Zhijie, who was listening intently to the Governor.

He was sworn brothers with the Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect and was also a Grandmaster.

When the Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect was alive, he was always at his beck and call.

He had always carried out the Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect's orders to the letter and had done many dirty deeds for him; the two had a very deep bond.

The Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect trusted him quite a bit.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let him be the Vice Sect Master.

Now that the Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect was dead, the Cold Blade Sect was leaderless, leaving only Wu Zhijie as a Grandmaster.

He naturally assumed the position of Sect Master without hesitation.

Fu Yunfan sent a sound transmission: "Brother Wu, the Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect died at the hands of Blade Demon Yan Chu. Do you want to help him get revenge?"

Wu Zhijie was stunned. He looked at Sima Yutang, who was still talking endlessly above, and replied with a pained tone via sound transmission:

"Alas! The Sect Master died tragically, and I am in extreme grief!"

"But now, everything in the Cold Blade Sect is in chaos, and I really cannot leave. Moreover, the Governor might respond to the imperial court's order to conscript Disciples from all families to go to Liangzhou Prefecture."

"Now, the Sect Master's revenge can only be put aside. We will find that Blade Demon to exact revenge once we are free!"

Wu Zhijie's words were reasonable and well-founded, causing Fu Yunfan to shut his mouth. He also began to ponder the potential conscription by the Prefectural Governors Mansion.

The Great Jin Dynasty had been established for over two thousand years, ruling the world together with aristocratic families and Sects.

In recent years, although the imperial court had gradually declined, its control over local areas had weakened.

A few years ago, they suffered a crushing defeat in the Northern Border campaign, losing half a province of territory.

However, the central authority still remained, and all Regions still obeyed the imperial court's orders.

If the imperial court wanted to conscript their Fu Family, they wouldn't dare to disobey; they would inevitably have to provide manpower and resources.

Wu Zhijie glanced at the pensive Fu Yunfan, sneering in his heart.

This idiot didn't dare to deal with Yan Chu himself, so he wanted to drag him into it!

Did he think Sect Master Wu was easy to fool?

It was true that he and the Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect were sworn brothers.

But who didn't know?

Brothers were meant to be betrayed!

He hadn't betrayed the Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect yet, which was already doing his duty as a brother.

If he hadn't died, could he have sat in the position of Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect?

It could only be said that the Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect dying at the hands of Yan Chu was truly dead well! Dead wonderfully! Dead perfectly!

He had no ill will towards Yan Chu. If he met Yan Chu, he would surely have to say to him: "Thank you!"
