Chapter 94: Fight to the Dying Breath
For normal civilians, it didnt matter whether the person they were interacting with was from a superior state or not; they would still treat the other party however they should.
However, this was a sensitive matter among the officials. The officials had to regard every civilian from a superior state carefully, lest it cause a diplomatic affair. Superior states could easily destroy a lower state, so carelessness here could have catastrophic consequences.
Daoye, you arent lying, right? Youre really from a grade-6 state? Xu Ge gasped in disbelief.
Whats there to lie about? Li Daoye grumbled in dissatisfaction. Grade-6 states arent that formidable either. There are grade-5 and grade-4 states above them too. Honestly, its not that different from grade-9 states.
Theres a huge difference! At least Chillwater would have to think twice before dealing with our young master, Xu Ge exclaimed in delight.
Just then, a commotion could be heard from the entrance. A guard rushed in and reported, Second master, the Valiant Defenders Commander Xiao Shence and the Imperial Guards General Yan Beihan are at our door. They are arresting everyone from the Fang Manor for interrogation!
They must be out of their mind! Do they intend to bring down our Fang Manor?! Fang Cangyou was so angry that he nearly stood up from his wheelchair, but he held himself back.
Our First Madam and young miss have been captured! the guard anxiously said. Our men arent a match for the Valiant Defenders and the Imperial Guards. Second Master, what should we do?
Those bastards! Huang Sihai smashed the tea set next to him.
Xu Ges eyes blazed with fury. Li Daoye was astounded.
Ill slaughter them! Huang Sihai roared as he stood up.
Fang Cangyou quickly stopped him. Calm down, Old Huang! Chener isnt back yet. Lets not cause more trouble for him now.
Second Master, are we going to let them do as they please and capture everyone from the Fang Manor? Huang Sihai roared.
Violence shouldnt be the first resort. Old Huang, you need to kick that bad habit of yours, Fang Cangyou said. Come, lets head out and take a look. I want to see what Xiao Shence and Yan Beihan are up to this time.
The Fang Manor was in a mess.
Fang Chens mother, Fang Zhixue, the younger Fang Clansmen, the guards, the butler, the servants, and the maids were all surrounded by the Valiant Defenders at the sparring field.
Yan Beihan looked at the hundreds of people before him and sighed. He turned to Xiao Shence and said, We have thoroughly offended Fang Chen with this move.
We dont have a choice. Its His Majestys order. Our clans will be beheaded if we defy the imperial edict, Xiao Shence replied.
One more person?
The crowd was stunned.
A second later, Fang Cangyous face darkened. Youre referring to my father? He has been in seclusion training for many years now to overcome his pinnacle Ki Control bottleneck. What are you planning to do?
Fang Chens mother bellowed, Dont you dare disturb our Old Master, or else therell be no room for reconciliation. As long as theres a single person left in our Fang Clan, well fight you to the dying breath!
Well fight you to the dying breath! the young Fang Clansmen and guards roared in unison.
Haaa Xiao Shence sighed. I already told you this matter is out of my control. Were just obeying imperial orders.
He eyed his subordinates. Without any hesitation, five chiliarchs led a large army of Valiant Defenders into the depths of the Fang Manor.
Over there was a peaceful courtyard, where all of the Fang Clansmen knew the Old Master was in seclusion training. It was usually guarded, and no one was allowed to enter the premises.
Xiao Shence, how dare you! Fang Cangyou bellowed. Just try stepping into that courtyard, and Ill make sure not a single one of you leaves this place alive!
Old Huang sneered as cracking sounds echoed from his body. Xu Ge and Tie Ma drew their swords and coldly eyed Xiao Shence.
Are you rebelling right now? Xiao Shence asked with sharp eyes.
Yan Beihan heaved another sigh. The last thing he wanted was for things to blow up like this.
Men, kill anyone who dares to defy imperial orders! Xiao Shence ordered.
Clang clang clang!
All of the Valiant Defenders drew their weapons, and the situation became even more tense.
Just then, an elderly voice boomed, Whats going on?
An old man dressed in traditional clothes walked over from afar.
Fang Cangyou and the others were astonished. Our Old Master has emerged from his seclusion training?
