C4317 Calm the Hearts of the People!
After all, it would be hard to feel at ease if she were to kill her own people.
Therefore, she wanted to do something that she could do when Yin Yang Palace and Sky River City were in trouble. However, Chen Xiao had advised her in time.
Amongst this, it was naturally because of her friendship with Daoist Priest Pure Yang and Gu Changsheng, but it was also because of her compassion.
After all, she was also old.
"Next, let them fight for a while. After they die, we can wait and see." Chen Xiao muttered.
When these cold words came out of Chen Xiao's mouth, Fu Zhenghong actually didn't feel that it was out of place at all.
She was a bit cold as she said, "Chen Xiao, you really are scheming. After this delay, who knows how many more people will die."
Chen Xiao did not mind and spread out his hands. He said, "I don't want to either, but there's no other way."
Fu Zhenghong sighed, "That's right. There's no other way. We can only let them fight for a while. After some people die, we can learn a lesson."
"Old Mistress is wise."
"Heh, you brat, you must be laughing at me in your heart." Fu Zhenghong turned around and glared at him.
Chen Xiao's neck shrank and he immediately admitted defeat, "How could I dare? Old Mistress is overthinking."
Seeing that, Zuo Zhao interrupted at the right time and said, "Captain, there are movements from Yin Yang Palace and Sky River City. They are requesting reinforcements from my Purple Cloud City."
"Oh, what response does Big Brother Zi Jing have?"
"Lord Marquis Zi Jin seems to have ignored them and only said a few perfunctory words," Zuo Zhao replied.
Chen Xiao was startled, then he laughed out loud, "Alright, we'll do as you say. Have our men withdraw back to the vicinity of the Fu Family City and not get involved. We'll just sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight."
"Yes."
Zuo Zhao bowed to Madam Fu and turned to leave.
Fu Zhenghong looked deeply at Chen Xiao and felt a chill run down his spine.
The young male cultivator in front of him was rumored to have ascended from the Lower Realm. Although he was young, his temperament and knowledge were first-rate, and he was truly admirable.
However, he was too cruel to his enemies and outsiders. Such a person would either become friends with him, walk closer to him, or stay as far away as possible.
Fortunately, Fu Xue had a close relationship with him, which was very good.
"Then let's just wait and see. There's still some important matters to attend to in the family," Fu Zhenghong said faintly.
"Old Madam, please do as you please."
Fu Zhenghong nodded and shouted lightly, "Xianer."
Not far away, a beautiful figure flew over and stopped in front of him. "Here, what orders does the Ancestor have?"
"Pass down the order that the family competition that occurs once every hundred years will be opened in advance. This time, all those who enter the top hundred will be rewarded with a bottle of Heaven Returning Pills. The higher your ranking, the more rewards you will receive."
Fu Zhenghong said in a deep voice.
When Chen Xiao saw this, he smiled slightly. This was also what he should do. After the huge change in the Fu Family City, they should take out their real gold and silver to appease the people.
This move of the old mistress could be said to be very old-fashioned.
Fu Xianer was overjoyed in her heart, "Yes, Ancestor, I'll do it right away. That …"
"Speak."
"Ancestor, that, can I participate? I also want treasures?" Fu Xianer said a little bashfully.
Fu Zhenghong laughed out of anger, "You, of course you can."
"Thank you, Ancestor."
"Xianer, don't blame me for not reminding you when you lose face on the arena."
"Ancestor, you are just joking. Hmph, I won't lose to anyone else. As long as Sister Xue doesn't participate, I will definitely be able to stand at the end." Fu Xianer stuck out her tongue and said stubbornly.
"Alright, then I'll look forward to it. Haha." Fu Zhenghong laughed.
"En."
After saying that, Fu Xianer turned around and went to work.
Very quickly, this news spread throughout the Fu Family City, causing a huge uproar. The Fu Family City, which was originally chaotic and uneasy, also calmed down.
Under the heavy reward, there would definitely be brave men. This was the same for cultivators.
The old ancestor said that those who entered the top 100 would all be able to obtain a bottle of Return to Heaven Pill. This was a huge deal. One had to know that the Return to Heaven Pill was a treasure that even Tribulation Transcenders coveted. Furthermore, among the Fu Family's younger generation, most of them were at the Prominent Divine Stage.
If they had the Return to Heaven Pill in their hands, it would be greatly beneficial to their cultivation.
“I never thought that the Fu Clan would actually start it so early. The Patriarch is really generous this time. As long as you can enter the top 100, you will be able to obtain a bottle of Heaven Returning Pill. My Lord of Heaven, this is something that I wouldn’t have dared to think of in the past.”
“If I can obtain a bottle of Heaven Returning Pill, then I will have a chance to charge into the Tribulation Transcender Realm. I will definitely succeed this time.”
“The Heaven Returning Pill is mine. Isn’t it just the top 100? Hmph, it isn’t a problem at all.”
“Anyone can boast. When the time comes, don’t be weak in the knees when you go onto the arena.”
“What? You want to give it a try now? Are you itching for it? I don’t mind teaching you a lesson here.”
The moment the news was released, the cultivators in the Fu Clan City immediately changed from feeling uneasy to yearning for treasures.
A bottle of Heaven Returning Pill would definitely make countless cultivators’ hearts itch with greed.
Naturally, the voices of dissent quickly died down when the Fu Clan City heard that the Fu Clan had purged Fu Yanshan’s faction and killed many people. Very few people mentioned it again.
Fu Yanshan and the others deserved to die, but the people who survived were the true beneficiaries.
For a time, countless members of the Fu Clan were rubbing their fists and eager to give it a try.
The news spread very quickly, and it quickly spread out of the Fu Clan City. At this moment, some members of the Fu Clan took advantage of the chaos to escape from the Fu Clan City. They were dissatisfied with Fu Zhenghong’s actions of purging the entire clan.
“Alas, the Patriarch is really muddle-headed. He has lost his mind. It’s fine if he killed Fu Yanshan, but he actually killed so many people. This is too much.”
"If we don't escape today, then tomorrow, we will be the ones killed."
"Yeah, yeah, we can't stay in the Fu Clan City any longer. Let's just run away first."
On a hill outside the city, many members of the Fu Clan were gathered. They were muttering something, and anger and confusion intertwined in their hearts. For a time, they didn't know what to do.
It wasn't difficult to leave the Fu Clan City, but what to do next was a big problem.
In fact, many people even had a trace of wavering in their hearts. Was this right or wrong?
At this time, a figure charged over and stopped in front of them.
He had an excited expression as he shouted, "Not good, the Patriarch has ordered that the Clan Competition will be opened ahead of time. The top one hundred will be rewarded with a bottle of Heaven Returning Pills."
"What? The Patriarch is chasing after us? Hurry up and run! If we don't run now, it will be too late."
"The Patriarch is too ruthless. There's no need to kill us all. Let's go quickly."
"..."
Everyone was in chaos. Out of instinct, they hurriedly got up and prepared to fly away. But very quickly, someone reacted. They had misheard and their bodies froze in midair.
"What did you say? Clan Competition? Heaven Returning Pills?"
"How is this possible? The top one hundred can obtain a bottle of Heaven Returning Pills. This reward is too tempting."
"Is this the Patriarch's original words? Hiss~ I want to go back to the clan and participate in the Clan Competition to obtain the Heaven Returning Pills."
"I want to go back too."
"Count me in."
“Let’s go back to Fu Family City.”
