Chapter 361: (2): Brewing Unrest
Chen Ping'an could only hand the wine gourd to him.
Fan Er took a large swig of wine, then continued, "The Fan Clan has no Nascent Tier cultivators, and the Golden Core Tier swordsman wasn't willing to surrender, so he summoned his bonded flying sword, but it was shattered by Mr. Zheng! Well, that was as expected. What was rather strange was that Mr. Zheng didn't kill that little bastard on the spot.
“Instead, he said something in parting before traveling straight to the Fu Clan to demand that Fu Donghai come out to take a punch from him. Only then did it become clear to everyone that this incident was something orchestrated by Fu Donghai, and he was one pulling the strings behind the scenes, so he was the one who was most deserving of punishment.
“I have to admit that he was a lot more courageous than that bastard from the Fang Clan, and he really did come out to take a punch from Mr. Zheng. Unfortunately, he was able to survive thanks to his Old Dragon Rainbringer, and he was taken away by an old maidservant that no one had seen before."
"That must've been the maidservant who came to the Fan Clan with that woman from the Cloud Forest Jiang Clan," Chen Ping'an remarked.
Fu Donghai was killing two birds with one stone here, driving a wedge between Zheng Dafeng and the Fan Clan while also alienating the Fan Clan, essentially forcing the Fan Clan to ally itself with the other four major clans so that the battle could commence.
However, what Fu Donghai didn't know was that Zheng Dafeng had the yin soul with the Zhao surname by his side, and that yin god was very adept at self-concealment and spiritual interrogation. With its set of skills, it was able to follow the leads to uncover Fu Donghai as the mastermind behind this incident.
A slightly sullen look appeared on Fan Er's face, and he held the wine gourd in his hands as he continued, "At the time, the Fu Clan was at the very height of its powers. Clan Leader Fu Qi had purchased a new pseudo-celestial tool from another continent, and after that came the marriage alliance with the Cloud Forest Jiang Clan.
“Even if the Fu Clan was willing to lay down its pride and have things blow over without issuing any retaliation, there was no way that the Jiang Clan would be willing to let the Fu Clan be humiliated right after their marriage alliance was established.
