Chapter 218 - Agreeing To Get Him Out (1/2)

“Father! Well, since you know all these things and what the Zhang clan has been like in the past few years, you should know better than I do. Fang Yuan’s actions today, isn’t it a great satisfaction to the people, isn’t it justice for Heaven?”

“Right, right, Father, you also know that what Fang Yuan did today was to eliminate evil for the people. On the whole, this is a great thing. Even the Yan Shen Empire officials strongly encourage the residents to do it.”

Li Tongzhou’s father also nodded and agreed with what Li Tongzhou said.

“That’s not right, father!”

“Then since you know everything behind this, you also know the final conclusion, as well as the inevitability of Fang Yuan’s actions and the inevitable destruction of the Zhang clan.”

“Then why didn’t you act in advance? Why didn’t you wipe out the Zhang clan in advance and make them submit to the law?”

“What were you all waiting for? Hehe, I usually say that officials like you don’t do anything serious.”

Li Tongzhou said to his father impatiently.

However, his father shook his head and said matter-of-factly.

“The Yan Shen Empire’s officials haven’t taken action so far. Of course, there’s a reason why they haven’t taken action. It’s not as simple as ‘it’s the Zhang clan,’ and it’s not a simple ‘it’s the Gu Demon Sect.’”

“The reason why the Yan Shen Empire’s officials haven’t taken any action before is because we want to fish for big fish with a long line.”

“What do you mean by fishing for big fish with a long line? What big force can the mere Zhang clan have behind them?”

Li Tongzhou looked at his father and asked in puzzlement.

“Normally, Father doesn’t really care, but this time you must keep this matter a secret. This kind of information is top secret even in the Imperial Court. It’s fine if Father tells you, but you mustn’t go out and spread it randomly.”

Li Tongzhou’s father looked around and said to Li Tongzhou with a mysterious expression.

“Alright, alright, Father. I understand. Just say it. I want to see what kind of monsters and ghosts can stand behind the mere Zhang clan,” Li Tongzhou said discontentedly.

“It’s said that behind this Zhang clan, there’s an underground force that has always been hidden within the Yan Shen Empire. They have found the inheritance of the blood path giant blood ancestor demon venerable as their own responsibility.”

“You should know about this blood path giant blood ancestor demon venerable, right? Over the past thousand years, the blood path has been a scourge to the present day, always poisoning the people!”

“From time to time, a blood path relic would pop up here and there.”

“In addition, the refinement of blood path Gu worms is easy to advance. Obtaining strength is simply too easy!”

“As long as the owner can be ruthless and abandon their human dignity and bottom line, then their strength can rapidly increase.”

“In addition, these blood path Gu worms are easy to obtain, easier to preserve, and have an extremely long lifespan.”

“Thus, there are many factions that set their eyes on this, but when they don’t take action normally, they hide it too deeply. Without a certain amount of evidence, the government cannot act rashly.”

“We need to wait until they gather in large numbers and gather all the blood path materials that can be found nearby, or that they can find through various channels, only can we take action together and destroy all those things that poison society in one go. This is the long-term approach.”

Hearing his father’s long speech, Li Tongzhou was instantly dumbstruck.

He had thought that this was a very simple matter of a certain clan in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire committing crimes that needed to be punished, because for top personnel of the Yan Shen Empire like them, this was a very simple matter.
