Chapter 363 - 191: Garrison Commander Shentu Bao, Executes the Prime Minister, Fiercely Confronts the Imperial Family (Part 2)
"No way, I must go find King Liang!"
Only King Liang can save my life!
Fan Chuan Sect hurriedly rushed out the door, Wei Fan’s audacity was already overpowering him.
Killing Garrison Commander Zhang Juzheng, leaving only his head, was not enough; he even brought Zhang Juzheng’s head to the Capital City, adopting a posture as if to hold the Court accountable.
Such a person, he didn’t think his status as Prime Minister could save his life. If someone like the Garrison Commander could be killed, would he not dare to kill a civil servant like him?
However, as soon as Fan Chuan Sect left the Prime Minister’s Mansion, he saw three brilliant golden silhouettes appear over the mansion.
[Fan Chuan Sect: Celestial Human Ninth Layer, Prime Minister of Great Victory Dynasty, who disregarded the Human Race’s defenses for personal power struggles]
[Kill him to gain 900 years of Ordinary Power]
"Where are you rushing off to, Prime Minister Fan..."
Wei Fan’s voice rang out flatly. With a flick of his fingers, Will Power manifested, and Fan Chuan Sect involuntarily flew upwards.
Fan Chuan Sect’s expression drastically changed: "I am the current Prime Minister, Wei Fan, if you dare harm me, the Dynasty will certainly not spare you!"
His voice was severe, completely not expecting Wei Fan to come directly to his mansion, leaving him no chance to seek King Liang.
"I have been abandoned!"
He roughly realized this; the one in the high position might not want to provoke Wei Fan, or is also apprehensive of the Demon Hunter Patrol Envoy’s identity.
Otherwise, with Wei Fan in the Capital City for so long, the Imperial Family’s Martial Venerable should have appeared long ago, and definitely wouldn’t allow Wei Fan to capture the Prime Minister.
Wei Fan seized Fan Chuan Sect by the throat, lifting him into the void like a chicken chick.
The entire Capital City, countless people showed expressions of shock. Wei Fan’s actions were clearly meant to intimidate the entire Great Victory Dynasty; otherwise, there was no need to be so barbaric, and let everyone in the Capital witness this scene in the sky.
"Fortunately, I just stood by without kicking while people were down; otherwise, Wei Fan might not hesitate to move against my palace."
From not far away in Prince Sheng’s Mansion, Yue Shengfang was terrified watching this scene.
She was naturally angry about Wei Fan and Long Xueyi not giving her face, so after the Su City incident, she chose to be a bystander but still gave the Long Family a favor without kicking them while they were down.
At this moment, she was both regretful and fearful, regretting missing the chance to recruit Wei Fan, and afraid of not kicking while down.
In the void, Fan Chuan Sect kicked his legs in humiliation and rage.
The dignified Prime Minister, how had he ever suffered such humiliation?
He wanted to speak, but his throat was gripped by Wei Fan, rendering speech impossible.
Wei Fan coldly looked at Prime Minister Fan Chuan Sect, encountering him for the first time. To say who he most wanted to kill, Zhang Juzheng would rank behind him.
Zhang Juzheng was despicable, but after years as Garrison Commander, he did have merits and hardships, indeed having done real work for the Human Race.
This kind of civil servant, a useless scholar, had absolutely no skills, only causing chaos in the court, seeking power, and constantly thinking about helping someone ascend to high office so he could maintain his power.
For a grand birthday banquet, he even ordered the Prefect of Tongzhou to find a Tree Demon to order the Peach of Immortality.
"Back then, I merely ran into your assassination of the Grandmaster’s grandson on the way to the Capital, saved a life, and you then held a grudge, even annoyed because I ruined your plan to assassinate your political enemy’s descendants, implicated the Su City’s effort against the Demon Fiend, ignored the breach of the Human Race’s defenses, and suppressed military intelligence with Zhang Juzheng, causing countless Su City soldiers to die."
Now with my identity as a Demon Hunter Patrol Envoy, I sentence you to immediate execution!"
These words stirred the entire city.
Many only knew Zhang Juzheng was targeting Wei Fan, aware of their enmity, but few knew the exact cause.
It turned out because Wei Fan saved the illegitimate son retrieved months ago by the Grandmaster’s Mansion, he provoked the Prime Minister.
Ironically, despite Wei Fan’s kindness, the Grandmaster’s Mansion was indifferent to Wei Fan’s suppression by the Prime Minister, as if it were unrelated to them.
"It was due to this matter!"
Even Shentu Bao looked towards the Grandmaster’s Mansion in surprise: "Definitely must distance from the Grandmaster’s Mansion in the future!"
Such merciless and unprincipled people, best not to associate with.
From what he knew, the Grandmaster not only failed to assist Su City, failed to aid Wei Fan, but even exploited the matter to gain some benefits from the Prime Minister’s faction.
"Have mercy!"
A voice suddenly rang from afar, several figures rose into the sky!
Wei Fan glanced at these people, without hesitating, unleashed his power and instantly shattered Fan Chuan Sect into a mist of blood.
With only one head left, Zhang Juzheng’s face showed a look of surprise: "King Liang save me!"
Those who had come were his patron King Liang, one of the princes with the greatest chance among those contending for the high office.
"How dare you!"
Someone among them shouted: "Wei Fan, didn’t you hear King Liang telling you to stop?"
Everyone showed looks of surprise, King Liang had stepped up, yet Wei Fan still mercilessly executed Fan Chuan Sect; was he declaring war against the Great Victory Dynasty?
Wei Fan’s expression was indifferent as he glanced at the speaker: "What does he amount to, just because he tells me to stop, I should stop?"
He had no respect whatsoever for the so-called Imperial Family.
Let alone King Liang, even if the Emperor acted unjustly, he wouldn’t heed him.
This is the Martial Arts World, without strength everything is worthless.
King Liang’s face turned gloomy: "Very well, after so many years, you’re the first martial artist to be so defiant towards me. Do you really think our Qin Family rules the world on false reputation? Release Zhang Garrison Commander, otherwise, you won’t leave the Capital City today."
He hadn’t expected that even appearing wouldn’t save Fan Chuan Sect.
Fan Chuan Sect was beyond saving, but Zhang Juzheng must be saved; otherwise, there’d be no hope for the succession struggle.
Wei Fan turned to his side and looked at Li Yunfei, showing his snow-white teeth:"I won’t involve the Imperial Family, but if they make a move against me, can I slay them without issue?"
Li Yunfei’s expression was grim, but he still nodded: "As an inspector, you have the authority to oversee all nations, with the right to slay anyone negligent in fighting the Demon Fiend. If hindered, you can judge them with the same charges and execute immediately, even if they’re from the Imperial Family!"
Wei Fan nodded and lifted Zhang Juzheng’s head.
"No..." Zhang Juzheng sensed something wrong, shouting loudly.
The next moment, Wei Fan’s palm landed without hesitation, shattering Zhang Juzheng’s head.
[Slayed Zhang Juzheng, gained 20,000 years of Ordinary Power, 60 years of Golden Body Power]
[Ordinary Power: 173,900 years]
[Golden Body Power: 200 years]
"..."
The air fell silent, everyone was gawking, gasping.
Wei Fan disdainfully threw Zhang Juzheng’s shattered head from the sky: "I killed Zhang Juzheng, now let me see how you’ll make sure I don’t leave the Capital City!"
Li Yunfei’s eyelids twitched: "This guy truly has audacity beyond belief, isn’t this a slap in the face of the Great Victory Dynasty, forcing them to turn hostile..."
And as Wei Fan’s companion, he’d likely be implicated.
Wei Fan wasn’t afraid of an Imperial Family, but he was; the Imperial Family wasn’t just symbolic ornaments, without terrifying military strength, how could they maintain control over so many experts? However, usually the Imperial Family wouldn’t emerge.
Because they won’t engage in such life-and-death struggles against the Demon Fiend.
The Demon Hunter does have the rights to oversee various nations, but generally, people wouldn’t offend them to death; if you lack strength and people slay you on the spot, even if the Demon Hunter Organization picks up the fight, what’s the use?
"You..."
King Liang looked at Zhang Juzheng’s shattered head, his face showing a moment of daze.
He hadn’t expected his threat not only didn’t save Zhang Juzheng but also sped up Wei Fan’s intent to kill Zhang Juzheng, this guy truly didn’t give him, the prince, any face.
Even after killing Zhang Juzheng, he uttered provocations, inciting him to make a move.
"He wants to kill me!"
King Liang had this thought in mind, but he hesitated instead.
Because even until now, the Imperial Family’s Martial Venerable hadn’t appeared.
