Chapter 94 Famous Throughout the World

"Ahem!"

Yan Chu coughed lightly and looked at Lu Zhongxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, saying:

"Head of the Lu Family, do you know what mistake you've made?"

Seeing Yan Chu's expression, Lu Zhongxuan felt a slight joy in his heart.

It seemed that the treasures he had just given to Wang Ping had taken effect.

If Yan Chu were truly angry, he definitely wouldn't look like this.

He hurriedly said, "Great Hero Yan, please calm your anger!"

"My entire Lu Family is dedicated to serving you; we truly didn't know that Lianhan had this connection with you."

"I have always treated her as my own daughter!"

"Making this decision was also with the thought of strengthening our family ties through marriage!"

What a "strengthening ties through marriage"!

This old fellow really knew how to use words. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, and with Su Zhirou right there, Yan Chu immediately said righteously:

"Don't ever say such things again!"

"Today, for Zhi Rou's sake, I will spare you this once!"

"As for serving me, it will depend on your future performance!"

"Yes! Thank you for your forgiveness, Great Hero Yan. My entire Lu Family is eternally grateful!"

Lu Zhongxuan was overjoyed and knelt down; the members of the Lu Family behind him shouted in unison:

"Thank you, Great Hero Yan, for sparing our lives!!!"

Yan Chu looked at Su Zhirou and said, "Let's leave this matter as it is for now!"

"I have another matter that needs urgent attention. Stay at the Lu Residence for now, and I'll come back to take you to Lanjiang Valley later!"

Su Zhirou nodded obediently, "Okay!"

Then she looked at Shi Lianhan beside her. "I want to be with my aunt; let her come with me when the time comes!"

Yan Chu raised an eyebrow and nodded slowly, "Very well!"

...

On the sixth day of the ninth month, Yan Chu, while in the Sixth Realm, slew the Grandmaster expert Yue Xingye in Longhua Prefecture city, drawing the attention of everyone.

When the news broke, the world was shaken.

Less than ten days after Yan Chu killed the "Gentleman Sword" Yue Jinhua, his name reached the ears of countless people in an even more exaggerated manner.

In comparison, the fact that "Shadow-Chasing Swordsman" Shen Yunyi was a Holy Lotus Cult Member was not as shocking.

Moreover, he also died by Yan Chu's hand.

He had merely become a stepping stone, adding fuel to Yan Chu's growing fame.

Cangzhou City, a thousand-year-old majestic city.

In the restaurant in front of the Six Doors, diners had already filled the seats early in the morning. Soy milk, steamed buns, and fried dough sticks were steaming, mixing with the noisy atmosphere of daily life.

"Do you guys think what happened in Longhua Prefecture is true?"

"Nonsense! How could it be fake?"

"Yesterday, I personally confirmed with a friend from the Six Doors. Yan Chu has gone on a killing spree in Longhua Prefecture. I heard several people from the Fu Family also died, and their bodies are now being transported back to Cangzhou City!"

"Wow! Yan Chu is something else, offending the Fu Family as well! I wonder how the Fu Family will react?"

"Heh, Yan Chu can slay a Grandmaster; what would the Fu Family dare to do?"

"If my prediction is correct, Yan Chu will definitely be in the top three of the next heavenly pride ranking, maybe even number one!"

"..."

While everyone was discussing, a group of over ten people appeared on the street, and the surrounding pedestrians moved out of their way.

Looking closer, all ten-plus people were dressed in mourning clothes.

Leading them was the head of the Fu Family, Fu Hanpeng, followed by the core members of the Fu Family, including Fu Yilian.

Except for the two Grandmasters of the Fu Family who didn't come, almost everyone else had arrived.

Fu Guanlin and the others were at the Sixth Realm cultivation level and were absolute high-level members of the Fu Family. Their deaths were a severe blow to the Fu Family's Origin Qi.

"What is the Fu Family doing?"

The Jianghu people watching saw the Fu Family members gathered outside the Six Doors, all looking confused.

Just as they spoke, Fu Hanpeng knelt on the ground and shouted:

"Blade Demon Yan Chu has acted perversely!"

"He went on a killing spree in Longhua Prefecture, causing many friends of the Righteous Path to die miserably. Four members of my Fu Family in the Sixth Realm also fell victim to him. We ask the Lord Governor to uphold justice!"

Whoa!

The people in the restaurant looked at each other. The Fu Family's Grandmasters didn't dare to act themselves; were they planning to ask the Six Doors to step in?

What a calculated move!

As Fu Hanpeng shouted, the Fu Family members behind him also knelt and said in unison, "We ask the Lord Governor to uphold justice!!"

There was silence inside the Six Doors.

After a long time, a voice without any emotion rang out,

"Abbot Xin Yong of Dalin Temple has arrived in Longhua Prefecture. Yan Chu is but a minor ailment, not worth worrying about!"

Fu Hanpeng's expression shifted, and he said again:

"That Yan Chu can slay a Grandmaster; I fear Abbot Xin Yong may not be his match."

"We ask the Lord Governor to personally slay the demon and restore peace to our Cangzhou!"

This time, the voice did not respond.

After a while, the red-painted gates creaked open, and a middle-aged man in black stepped out. With his hands behind his back, he said coldly:

"The Lord Governor has issued an order!"

"The Fu Family provoked Yan Chu first; your clansmen died at the hands of the Blade Demon, and their deaths are well-deserved!"

"Jianghu grudges are settled in the Jianghu! If the Fu Family truly wants revenge, do it yourselves. Do not cause a disturbance in the streets!"

After speaking, the middle-aged man in black turned and went back inside, slamming the gates shut with a bang, leaving the outside world to its gossip.

Fu Hanpeng's expression was extremely ugly.

He didn't expect the Lord Governor to give the Fu Family so little Face, exposing their intentions publicly under the watchful eyes of everyone and refusing to support them.

When did the local Six Doors become so impolite?

"Family Head... this..."

Fu Hanpeng grit his teeth and said fiercely, "If Hong Wei doesn't want to get involved, the Fu Family will find its own way!"

He looked at Fu Yilian, who was not far behind, and said:

"Lian'er, go to the Marquiss Estate tonight!"

Shua!

Fu Yilian's Face turned pale instantly, and the eyes of her clansmen around her became complex and sympathetic.

Facing Fu Hanpeng's cold gaze, she struggled for a long time before finally nodding unwillingly, "Yes!"

After the Fu Family members left, the middle-aged man in black behind the red gates slowly walked away.

He followed the central axis of the Six Doors all the way to the grand hall at the innermost part, where a middle-aged man in a red robe sat beneath a plaque inscribed with "Bright Mirror Hanging High."

This was Hong Wei, the Red-Robed Governor of the Six Doors in the Cangzhou region.

His voice was full of authority. "Who gave the Fu Family the audacity to present a petition outside the Six Doors?"

The middle-aged man in black said respectfully, "Yesterday, Marquiss Estate Guest Official Pan Ze went to the Fu Family to pay his respects and deliberated behind closed doors with those two old fogies of the Fu Family for a long time."

"It should be the intention of that person in the Marquiss Estate!"

"Humph!"

Hong Wei slapped the armrest of his chair heavily. Instantly, the entire hall rumbled, and the sky outside became turbulent with wind and clouds.

He suppressed his anger and said:

"That old thing won't live much longer. Once he's dead, I'll see what Sima Yutang will do."

"The Six Doors of Cangzhou has been suppressed by that old thing for so long; it's finally time to break the deadlock!"

The middle-aged man in black bowed and remained silent, letting his superior vent his anger.

Hong Wei added, "Where is the monk Xin Yong now?"

"Others took only three days to get from Pingzhou Province to Longhua Prefecture, yet he hasn't arrived in seven days after leaving Cangzhou?"

The middle-aged man's expression turned a bit strange upon hearing this. "He arrived in Mang Prefecture yesterday and rested at a wealthy household for a day."

"Calculating the time, he should be arriving soon!"
