Chapter 249: Storming the Door

~11 min read 2,058 words

At the entrance of the Prefecture Lord's mansion, Chu Danqing and Xu Kequan and his wife were waiting.

"Benefactor, can this Young Brother Yang really succeed?" Xu Kequan asked worriedly.

Yang Qianyuan volunteered to take on this matter to solve it; Chu Danqing didn't know if the other party had seen something through the Fate-Divining Spider or if he was just born extraordinary.

However, the other party's confident appearance suggested he wouldn't joke with his own life.

They had already waited for nearly half an hour, which was why Xu Kequan couldn't help but ask this.

The door of the Prefecture Lord's mansion slowly opened, and Yang Qianyuan walked out, still carrying that smile on his face.

"I did not fail the commission; the matter has been resolved." Yang Qianyuan said.

"How was it resolved? So fast." Chu Danqing also asked curiously.

Yang Qianyuan laughed it off: "My father and the Prefecture Lord are old friends."

Speaking of this, he looked left and right, then whispered: "So we have been showing filial piety for years, which is why he sold me a favor."

Chu Danqing believed the first sentence, but as for that "showing filial piety" and "selling a favor," he didn't believe it at all.

This made Chu Danqing even more certain that Yang Qianyuan's identity was unusual.

"Then shall we go back to rest now, and set off tomorrow morning, or do you have the proof to leave the city?" Chu Danqing asked.

"My family only shows filial piety; the Prefecture Lord would not open the back door for my family." Yang Qianyuan spoke in the tone of a small, humble household.

Chu Danqing only felt that this Yang Qianyuan was young.

The normal logic would be for the Prefecture Lord to directly have the city gate open a small gap to send them away.

Instead of choosing to go head-to-head with the Prefecture Captain.

The former is just a small act of willfulness with power, while the latter is targeting, and the nature is completely different.

Clearly being able to use the smallest cost to proceed, but insisting on causing a big mess—no matter how you look at it, it seems like currying favor.

However, since the person had already come out, Chu Danqing didn't say much more.

"Fine, then let's go back and stay for the night." Chu Danqing had no dissatisfaction; if he wasn't satisfied, he would do it himself. If someone else did it, he shouldn't point fingers, especially when the other party had succeeded.

After the resolution, the expressions of Xu Kequan and his wife were obviously much more relaxed.

On the way, everyone was chatting and laughing.

Just before they arrived, Yang Qianyuan's Fate-Divining Spider, Feidi, made a sound.

Yang Qianyuan's figure paused, and nebula-like patterns simultaneously appeared in his pupils.

"There is danger; people from the Fang Fu are lying in ambush inside." Yang Qianyuan said coldly: "There is also a master; if nothing goes wrong, it should be that eldest master of the Fang Fu."

"Da Bao is no match." In the glimpse he saw, Da Bao was no match for the other party.

Chu Danqing narrowed his eyes upon hearing this: "It seems this matter cannot end well."

He wasn't surprised that the Fang Fu could find him; after all, they were local bullies.

"Retreat first, I will let..." Yang Qianyuan immediately said.

"You seem to really like borrowing power and political maneuvering." Chu Danqing suddenly said.

Yang Qianyuan was somewhat puzzled; being able to use one's greatest advantage to achieve the greatest result with the smallest cost, what was wrong with that?

"Your thinking is not wrong." Chu Danqing said, lifting up the Big Bone, and the Big Bone began to chant "Sorrowful Returning Wind."

The mournful lyrics lingered in everyone's ears.

"But many times, this is more like a compromise." Chu Danqing looked at the Fang Fu people not far away who had already sensed them: "At that time, I was still very weak."

"So I will teach you a principle."

"Using power and political maneuvering to make them listen to reason calmly is ultimately only temporary."

"But if you use overwhelming force to make them listen to reason tremblingly, they will definitely not dare to make mistakes again in the future."

"However, this is for those who have committed less evil; for those who are heinous like human traffickers who snatch people on the street, the second half can be omitted."

"Just use overwhelming force to beat this group of scum into scum."

Chu Danqing's voice fell, and the Big Bone's "Sorrowful Returning Wind" chant was completed.

The middle-aged man in the lead rushed over aggressively, intending to open his mouth to question, but couldn't, as the "Sorrowful Returning Wind" had already landed on him.

High damage erupted, and death instantly swallowed him.

Subsequently, area damage erupted, directly affecting everyone around.

Some were further away and thought they had escaped a disaster, but the combo effect of "Sorrowful Returning Wind" took effect once again.

Although the single-target attack hit a small fry, the subsequent area damage swallowed the rest of the people once again.

With just one move, all the attackers died.

The whole process was so plain.

Yang Qianyuan's Heaven's Secret Divination had indeed seen the scene where Da Bao was inferior to the other party, but it had only seen that scene.

"This..." Yang Qianyuan had always thought that the bone book Chu Danqing held was really just a book; he hadn't expected it to be a spirit beast.

And such a powerful spirit beast.

However, what truly surprised Yang Qianyuan was that Chu Danqing was actually a Dual-Born Purple Mansion.

A human Purple Mansion only has one; only a Dual-Born Purple Mansion can refine two spirit beasts.

There was more than one type of special Purple Mansion; Yang Qianyuan himself was a special Purple Mansion, his Purple Mansion named "Heart Art," which was most compatible with Heaven's Secret type spirit beasts.

It wasn't right to say his special Purple Mansion was born; it was nurtured through heavenly treasures while in the womb.

It could be considered innate, not an acquired thing.

"That being said, my spirit beast is not as good as Brother Chu's; Feidi is only a Heaven's Secret type spirit beast, not good at killing and attacking." Yang Qianyuan replied.

Chu Danqing immediately said upon hearing this: "So it must be tailored to the person."

"For you, needing to use political maneuvering and borrowing power is an advantage, but for me, it is a trouble."

"Scholar Xu, help lead the way to the Fang Fu." Chu Danqing said, then looked at Xu Kequan: "I originally thought about sending you out of the city tomorrow morning before taking action."

"Since they can't wait to come and seek death, then I won't let them see tomorrow's sun."

Chu Danqing was not bloodthirsty, but for things like trafficking and drug dealing, he would kill one whenever he saw one and never go soft.

The last time was in the black market of the Taichang Dynasty; he destroyed the black market at night and didn't even wait for dawn before sending Emperor Taichang on his way.

This time he was still considered restrained; otherwise, he would have killed his way over in broad daylight.

"Benefactor, although this Fang Fu is arrogant and domineering in Guanglu Prefecture, but... but exterminating the whole family is too cruel." Xu Kequan hurriedly advised.

Chu Danqing rolled his eyes: "Who told you I was going to kill everyone? I won't kill the servants who haven't committed evil."

He wasn't a mass murderer.

As for the rest of the Fang Fu people being innocent?

The premise that disaster doesn't reach the family is that the benefits don't reach the children.

If Chu Danqing were killed by someone in the future and Da Bao, Big Bone, etc., were implicated and died, it would naturally be reasonable.

After all, they also enjoyed the convenience Chu Danqing brought.

Hearing Chu Danqing's words, Xu Kequan felt settled in his heart; although Chu Danqing's actions were indeed a bit intense, he wasn't someone who killed the innocent indiscriminately.

Otherwise, he couldn't have helped him earlier.

Immediately, he led Chu Danqing toward the Fang Fu.

At their pace, it took about fifteen minutes to arrive.

The gate of the Fang Fu was indeed built magnificently but without overstepping the rules; clearly, there was an expert guiding them.

A retainer at the gate saw the aggressive group and immediately rebuked: "Where did these idlers come from? Go away, go away."

Just as he finished speaking, Da Bao had already approached the gate of the Fang Fu and kicked it down with one foot.

This scene left the retainer dumbfounded, and then he turned his head and drilled under the table, not daring to make a sound.

Chu Danqing naturally wouldn't bother with the other party about these things, but walked straight into the Fang Fu.

At this time, the Fang Fu was still brightly lit.

After all, that eldest master of the Fang Fu had taken people out to avenge the second master; how could they sleep?

Not to mention that the corpse of the second master, Fang Chen, was still being waked; they certainly hadn't slept all night.

It was difficult to hide the commotion caused by Chu Danqing's actions.

Therefore, it attracted most of the people at the first moment.

Yang Qianyuan, through the Fate-Divining Spider, wove a flat map like a living map.

Chu Danqing could roughly see the structure of the entire Fang Fu through this spiderweb map.

"The Fate-Divining Spider actually has this ability; I thought it could only do Heaven's Secret Divination." Chu Danqing was also surprised.

Through the spiderweb map, he saw many people moving, and one of the moving points was particularly different.

"What's going on with this point?" Chu Danqing asked.

"Feidi can sense it, but cannot confirm it." Yang Qianyuan replied in his spare time; he was using Heaven's Secret Divination to determine the problem with this point.

"Where did these strong thieves come from, actually so bold as to break into the Fang Fu at night?" A roar full of energy was heard.

In the night sky, a black shadow swept past, heading toward Chu Danqing.

Looking closely, it was seven parts similar to the wandering monk's Yaksha Soldier.

Only it was even more burly and tall, with an eye growing on its forehead, and a pair of bat wings growing on its back.

It swooped down from the sky, and the steel fork in its hand stabbed toward Chu Danqing.

"It's a Three-Eyed Yaksha General, a spirit beast evolved from a Yaksha Soldier." Yang Qianyuan's expression changed drastically, forced to interrupt the Heaven's Secret Divination.

The enemy came too fast; he hadn't had time to finish the divination.

He didn't have any hesitation, reaching out to use his trump card to protect Chu Danqing and himself.

After all, Da Bao was fighting in the front, and the Big Bone in Chu Danqing's hand needed time to chant.

This meant that they had no power to protect themselves.

But before he could use his trump card, a burly and tall figure blocked in front of them at some point.

Directly obscuring their vision.

Soft golden light burst out from the figure in an instant, and the whole person was enveloped in it.

The Three-Eyed Yaksha General swooped down with a fork thrust; when the fork tip hit the golden light barrier, golden light rippled.

The figure extended a thick right arm, five fingers like iron pincers locking onto the fork shaft and twisting counter-clockwise violently, while the left palm's tiger's mouth clamped onto the Yaksha General's neck.

In this way, it controlled all the actions of the Three-Eyed Yaksha General.

The next moment, it was fiercely smashed to the ground.

The momentum was so fierce and the force so strong that it smashed a hole in the ground, and the Three-Eyed Yaksha General, who had come aggressively, was motionless on the spot.

"Ah!!! You thief, you actually dare to kill my Yaksha General!!!" That originally energetic voice was now sharp and weak.

However, it also confirmed from the other party's anger that the Three-Eyed Yaksha General was dead.
