Chapter 255 The Chu Kingdom cultivators who headed straight for the Great Abyss Imperial City! They
Chen Fan nodded slightly.
With a smile on his face, he entered the room and immediately covered it with his divine sense!
With his perception, he could see through everything that was happening in the restaurant!
"Have you heard... there have been so many murders lately... so many people have died, and the imperial court has sent people to investigate!"
"The imperial court is really busy lately... Those people from the Zhenxian Division probably can't keep up. First, there were the Chu Kingdom cultivators who trespassed... and now this has happened. It's going to be tough!"
"Who says otherwise... In my opinion, those people from the Zhenxian Division deserve it. Being the court's lackeys means they have to work, haha!"
"Be careful what you say... Those Imperial Guards aren't to be trifled with..."
……
Zhenxian Division?
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's lips curled up in a smile.
This is something that Emperor Jianwen created before.
It was now brought to its full glory under the Yongle Emperor!
As the name suggests, this is the government office that manages the cultivators of the Great Abyss.
The people working there are all cultivators.
The higher the position and the stronger the skills, the better the benefits!
I randomly found a seat by the window and sat down.
Chen Fan then habitually ordered a plate of peanuts and two jugs of wine.
Eunuch Wei and his entourage ordered some beef, a local specialty, to enjoy.
During lunch.
They inevitably overheard the conversations of the people at the next table.
Eunuch Wei, who had just picked up his wine cup and taken a small sip, smiled and said:
"Eunuch Chen, the Zhenxian Division has been quite lively lately. I've also heard about the matter with the Chu Kingdom cultivators... What do you think?"
Upon hearing the inquiry.
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.
Unwilling to publicize the matter, he calmly said:
"Those people from Chu have trespassed into the Great Abyss... In my opinion, the Zhenxian Division should send someone to suppress them as soon as possible..."
"I'm afraid they can't suppress it!" Zhu Ping shook his head and said.
"Master, I've heard these past two days that there might be a half-step Core Formation cultivator among the cultivators of the Chu Kingdom..."
puff!
Zhu Ping hadn't finished speaking.
Chen Fan spat out the food and wine he was drinking.
His expression shifted between anger and uncertainty as he gritted his teeth and said:
"These people from Chu are shameless... They think they can bully my Great Abyss because we don't have any Core Formation cultivators... They're utterly despicable!"
Zhu Ping, Wu Yuezi, Eunuch Wei, Ling Huanzi, and Ren Dahai were all taken aback!
Looking at the old eunuch gritting his teeth, they couldn't understand why he was so agitated!
After saying this, Chen Fan also felt that it was somewhat inappropriate.
He tried to remain calm and said:
"Let's eat... don't let these things spoil our mood."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wei's eyes showed a hint of doubt.
The old eunuch always seemed calm and collected in his dealings with people.
Even if the sky were to fall, he wouldn't show the slightest anger.
But he flew into a rage when he heard about the Chu cultivators!
Intuition told Eunuch Wei.
There must be something strange about this.
However, the old eunuch did not speak up.
He wouldn't ask on his own initiative.
With a relieved smile, Eunuch Wei began to sip his drink.
……
Beside Tai'an Pond in the Imperial City of Dayuan.
Emperor Jianwen looked at the fish he had caught and a slight smile appeared on his face.
After baiting his hook, he calmly continued fishing.
Seeing this, the Yongle Emperor, who was sitting next to him, secretly shook his head.
Looking at the startled koi in the water, he said softly:
"Have you investigated the situation with the Zhenxian Division?"
"The Qingyun Sect has already sent people..." Emperor Jianwen said calmly.
"Just a few clowns...not worth mentioning!"
"Your information is a bit slow..." Emperor Yongle shook his head and said:
"Those from the Chu Kingdom aren't just half-step Core Formation cultivators, they're true Core Formation cultivators!"
As soon as those words were spoken...
The fishing rod in Emperor Jianwen's hand wobbled.
He sighed, his brow furrowed.
"Cooperating with the Qingyun Sect is like trying to get a tiger to give up its skin; getting them to send a Core Formation cultivator... is highly unlikely!"
Emperor Yongle smiled slightly.
He understood the principle that it's better to rely on yourself than on others a long time ago!
The Great Abyss currently has cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm and those at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But there are no Core Formation cultivators!
Lost in thought, Emperor Yongle rose and said:
"The Great Abyss should not make any new enemies... at least not for now... I will order the Zhenxian Division to stop. What do you think?"
Emperor Jianwen remained silent.
He was gazing at the lake, lost in thought.
While the two emperors, one civil and one military, were conversing.
Footsteps came from the imperial road behind me.
Then Commander Ma quickly ran over.
"Your Majesty...something terrible has happened...a messenger from the Zhenxian Division reports...that group of madmen from Chu is heading towards the imperial city, and they're getting...closer and closer!"
The news came out of nowhere.
This immediately made Emperor Yongle uneasy!
You should know that he could tolerate these people from Chu running rampant within his territory.
That doesn't mean he'll allow these people to storm the capital!
This is a provocation against the dignity of the Great Abyss.
It was even more disrespectful to Emperor Yongle!
Emperor Jianwen, who was standing nearby, was also taken aback upon hearing this.
It should be noted that the current capital of Dayuan seems to be impregnable.
But in reality, only he knew that the goods had already been switched out!
Once these people from Chu come to kill us!
Emperor Jianwen estimated that those secrets would probably not be able to be kept hidden any longer!
……
After leaving Songcheng.
Chen Fan parted ways with Eunuch Wei and the others again.
Wearing a mask and a bamboo hat, he had a long sword and a gourd of wine hanging at his waist!
Riding on the black wind, he walked along the official road like a wandering knight.
We encountered beautiful mountains and rivers along the way.
Chen Fan stopped to take a look and cheer himself up.
If he encounters robbers, he will send out a swarm of ants to eat them!
In such leisurely days.
Chen Fan soon arrived at a village.
There is a stream in front of the village.
In winter, the water flow dries up, exposing many blue stones on the banks.
If you walk along the stream, you will see a dozen or so scattered houses.
It was early morning.
Smoke rose from every household.
"Old eunuch, there's an eerie aura here... I can smell it!"
Black Wind sniffed the air, a hint of wariness in his eyes!
Chen Fan smiled but remained silent after hearing this.
He ignored them and continued riding forward on his horse!
At the same time, his divine sense also extended forward!
Not long after.
Chen Fan could sense something running away from the village!
It was so fast that even his divine sense couldn't detect it!
Chen Fan shook his head inwardly, too lazy to bother with it.
Following the path, we soon arrived at the courtyard of the first house.
The courtyard is surrounded by several dilapidated walls.
There are two bare plum trees in front of the courtyard.
Two tattered door gods are pasted on the old, yellowed, and blackened courtyard gate.
The couplets on both sides have been washed away by rain and the passage of time, making the characters illegible!
Chen Fan squinted and scanned the area with his divine sense.
He then knocked on the door and said:
"Is anyone there...?"
dong dong...
Squeak...
A knock came at the door.
The door was quickly opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in tattered clothes, with a pale face and the appearance of a farmer, opened the door!
Upon seeing Chen Fan outside the door, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes as he said:
"Who are you?"
"I just happened to be passing by and would like to ask for lodging for a while..." Chen Fan said with a smile, handing over a silver ingot!
However, the middle-aged farmer shook his head slightly.
Looking around, he refused:
"It's not that I don't want you to stay... it's just that this village is not safe... you should leave as soon as possible if you can..."
boom!
The words had barely left his mouth!
The door in front of me was slammed shut.
Chen Fan was slightly embarrassed after being turned away.
He squinted and pondered for a moment, then continued knocking on the door!
dong dong dong...
