Mu Hanyan smiled indifferently and didn't care. After all, she owed someone a favor.
"Master Fang, didn't you ask the capital for help after this happened?" Mu Hanyan continued. The Nanyan Chamber of Commerce was her and Mu Nan's business, and there was no way the Mu family would stand idly by. Even the guards hired by the Chamber of Commerce and those brought by these chambers of commerce were able to defend Fangjia Town, which meant the beasts that attacked the town weren't too powerful. If the Mu family had intervened, they shouldn't have had to fight so hard.
"Of course we rescued them. The day after the strange beasts attacked the city, I sent people to the capital to ask for help. But those strange beasts were roaming outside the town and blocked all the roads between the capital and Fangjia Town. We lost a lot of people, and finally it was Master Qu Shanling who broke through the blockade, but he turned back before reaching the capital." said the head of the Fang family.
"Why?" Mu Hanyan and others asked in unison.
"At the same time as the strange beasts attacked Fangjia Town, the capital was also under siege. Those strange beasts were far more powerful and numerous than those outside Fangjia Town. I heard that even the imperial guards were caught off guard. Later, it took the combined efforts of all the major families to defend the capital.
When Master Qu arrived in the capital, a fierce battle was raging outside the city. Seeing the situation was dire, he quickly broke through the alien beasts' blockade and returned to Fangjia Town. Fortunately, it was him; if it had been anyone else, they would have lost nine lives in the process. "The Fang family head said with emotion.
After hearing his words, Mu Hanyan finally understood why her father had urgently called her back. It turned out that even the capital of Anyun was under a massive attack by strange beasts.
Although strange beasts have been attacking cities for millions of years, in her memory, they have never attacked the capital of a country. Given the wisdom of strange beasts, it is unlikely that they would do such a stupid thing.
Mu Hanyan became even more certain of her suspicions. This was definitely connected to the powerful underworld beasts within the Nine Netherworld Prison. Since they could erase the spiritual imprints of the alien beasts, they could certainly control their minds. Otherwise, given the intelligence of the alien beasts, they wouldn't be so foolish. But what was their purpose in doing this?
Of course, Mu Hanyan would not waste her energy trying to figure out the thoughts of the Nether Beast. She had only seen the Nether Beast once, and hadn't even taken a close look at what it looked like. Trying to guess what was going on in its mind, wasn't that just a waste of time?
"What's the situation in the capital now? Is there any news about the Mu family?" Mu Hanyan asked. This was the issue that worried her the most.
That letter was written by my father. Could something have happened to my grandfather? But that shouldn't be the case. With my grandfather's strength and the protection of a group of Mu family members, how could an accident have happened?
"We're not too sure, but I think it shouldn't be a big deal." Patriarch Fang said uncertainly.
"How is Master Qu's injury?" Mu Hanyan knew that she couldn't get to the bottom of it, so she asked about Qu Shanling's injury.
"It's nothing serious. He is recuperating in his master's former residence. Mu Cheng is with him. He should be able to recover in a few days." The head of the Fang family replied.
"Okay, Miss Mu, you know everything about Fangjia Town. We came from afar to Fangjia Town to support your Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. We also contributed manpower and effort to help you defend the city. Now we probably can't expect reinforcements. As the owner of Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, you can't let us be buried with you." Park Donghan said sarcastically.
"Don't worry, Young Master Pu, you are guests of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. It would be fine if I didn't come back, but now that I am back, I will definitely ensure your safety. At the very least, I will send you out of Fangjia Town safely. We will also double compensate you for your losses." Mu Hanyan said.
She hadn't seen the strength of those strange beasts yet, so she didn't say too much, but she was confident that she could help them break through the blockade of the strange beasts and leave Fangjia Town.
"It's easy to say. Others may not know your strength, but don't I? You're a sixth-rank swordsman, right? These guards around you are only fourth-rank swordsmen, right? With such strength, you're so arrogant as to say you'll escort us safely out of Fangjia Town. You might as well just let us die." Park Donghan said sarcastically. As the young master of the Park Chamber of Commerce, he did have some understanding of the strength of Mu Hanyan and the others.
The managers of other chambers of commerce had all looked happy when they heard Mu Hanyan's promise, but when they heard this, their faces turned ugly again.
"Master, most of those strange beasts are not strong, and high-level swordsmen can deal with them. But later, a few extremely powerful ones came, almost equivalent to the cultivation level of an eighth or ninth-level swordsman." The head of the Fang family smiled bitterly and said to Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan was slightly surprised. She hadn't expected the beasts that attacked Fangjia Town to be so powerful. With her usual strength, she really wouldn't have been able to handle it. However, the guards hired by the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce weren't particularly strong. Even if there were masters above the level of Sword Master, they would hardly have surpassed the ninth level. The guards brought by the Chamber of Commerce managers certainly weren't that strong either. She wondered how they had managed to hold on.
"Ms. Mu, I advise you to sign the contract honestly and transfer Fangjia Town to that person. Unless they attack with all their strength, even with you, they won't be able to hold out for long under the fierce attack of those strange beasts." Park Donghan also said.
"By the way, who is planning to take over this town?" Mu Hanyan was confused by what Park Donghan said before, but now she finally understood what was going on and asked the head of the Fang family.
"I don't know who that person is, but it's thanks to him and several of his followers who took action in time that we were able to block the recent attacks from the monsters. He helped us several times, and after showing his strength, he put forward a condition. As long as I transfer Fangjia Town to him, he will do his best to help us repel the monsters and keep everyone safe." said the head of the Fang family.
"Oh." Mu Hanyan frowned.
Park Donghan only knew that she was a sixth-level swordsman when she left Anyun, but he didn't know that she had reached the level of a great swordsman, which was equivalent to a ninth-level swordsman. Of course, she didn't take it seriously. However, she was a little curious about this person who took advantage of the situation and wanted to attack Fang Jiazhen.
"Master, that man is here again." At this moment, a member of the Fang family came in to report.
"Let him in." said the head of the Fang family.
Soon, a young man walked into the conference room with more than ten followers.
"It's you!" Looking at the young man, Mu Hanyan suddenly realized. She had originally thought that the other party was targeting Fangjia Town, but now it seems that she had underestimated his appetite.
"Mu Hanyan, long time no see." The young man said with a forced smile. Wasn't he the Tan Taixuan who had fought with Mu Hanyan for the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool, and then was scared away by Ye Lanxuan.
Mu Hanyan had previously heard Fang Jiaxin say that someone was planning to attack Fangjia Town. She didn't know who it was and thought he was coming for the endless exotic flowers and plants on Feilai Peak. Now, when she saw Tan Taixuan, she realized that this guy was not planning to attack Feilai Peak, but the Jianxin Soul Cleansing Pool.
Tsk, he is planning to take advantage of her and bite her flesh, he is not afraid of breaking his teeth!
