Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 128 The Master of Terrain Modification, The Legend of Yanjia Lake
"woo woo woo woo……"

The deep red flames burst open instantly.

Accompanying this was a deafening, earth-shaking vibration.

It seemed as if the entire world was wailing.

A blast of air rolled in.

Lu Yuan threw a punch.

The surrounding space was almost distorted, and a terrifying fist imprint covered the entire area below.

The Yan family manor, and even a large area of land around it, were compressed, destroyed, and turned into nothingness in an instant, as if made of paper.

"Rumble, rumble..."

A terrifying force surged straight into the earth.

A deafening rumble came from underground.

Almost simultaneously, the entire city of Suzhou and a large surrounding area experienced violent tremors.

The tremor was extremely strong.

Many houses in the city collapsed as a result.

Fortunately, the building was too low, and no one was injured or killed.

……

"Damn, this NPC is a monster."

Far from the Yan family manor, the gatekeeper players who had previously escaped climbed a tree and stared in shock at the scene before them.

This NPC is ridiculously strong.

They actually wiped out the Yan family.

That's incredible!

These players came all the way from Shandong to Suzhou with the Yan family.

They were well aware of the Yan family's identity and status.

It can be said that the Yan family was one of the most powerful families in the Great Yong Dynasty.

Even powerful families of this caliber can be killed without hesitation by Lu Yuan.

Without blinking an eye.

so horrible.

Lu Yuan, this NPC, is truly lawless.

……

"Shall we record it?"

“I recorded it all. I’m a professional in this area, a rising star in the world of candid photography.”

"Just record it; this video can fetch a high price."

"It's hard to say."

"Why is it hard to say? This is an exclusive video, absolutely first-hand, first-person perspective."

"Look around, besides the few of us, who else is there?"

"You can't expect those NPCs to record videos, can you?"

One player pointed to the servants and slaves hiding not far ahead.

"Hahaha."

"That's just fate."

"They all thought Lu Yuan had gone to Shandong, and they all rushed there. Little did they know that Lu Yuan hadn't gone to Shandong at all, but had come to Suzhou instead."

"Brother, is it possible that his next stop is Shandong?"

"Moreover, there is a very high probability that it is Lanling."

The player deduced that Lu Yuan's next destination was the Yan family in Lanling.

Because, at this very moment, the manor he was destroying belonged to the Yan family.

"It's possible."

"Let's go, let's go back."

"Wait, don't rush."

"After Lu Yuan leaves, let's go and see if we've left anything good behind."

"If we could obtain the Yan family's martial arts or Confucian and Taoist traditions, we would be rich."

"Yes, yes, wait a minute."

The group glanced in Lu Yuan's direction and then hid in fear.

A moment later, after Lu Yuan left with the head of the Yan family elder, they climbed down from the tree and walked towards the original location of the Yan family manor.

However, after they saw what was happening in front of them...

shocked.

What about the manor?
I'm asking you, where's the manor?

What the heck is this huge pit?

You destroyed the manor, and by the way, you created a huge crater.

Master, what do you do?

Are you from the demolition office?
How can you disassemble something like that?

The group stared at the bottomless pit, lost in thought.

Will there be any loot after this punch?
It's hard to say.

"Want to go down?"

"Try?"

"Gamble."

"Wait, let's unload our equipment first. Who knows how deep this pit is? If we can't climb out, we can just commit suicide and go back to the fountain."

"Good good."

Just as the group was about to go down and try their luck...

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the ground.

It sounds a bit like the sound of water.

There was a loud bang.

Countless jets of water gushed out from underground.

The water volume is extremely large.

The ground beneath their feet began to collapse due to groundwater.

The group quickly fled.

After a long time, a new lake appeared before them.

Later generations named it Yan Family Lake. Legend has it that the Yan family angered the gods and were punished by them, causing the entire manor to sink to the bottom of the lake. It is said that the Confucian and Taoist traditions of the Yan family may lie at the bottom of the lake.

……

"earthquake?"

"No, can Suzhou City also experience earthquakes?"

In the Suzhou city government office, the prefect was so frightened by the sudden earthquake that he stood frozen in place, unable to move.

Clearly, he lacks experience in this area.

Fortunately, the clerk, who was from Sichuan, had experience in this area and pulled the stunned prefect under the table.

"Wait a minute, sir, can Suzhou City also experience earthquakes?"

"I don't know. This is the first time I've ever encountered an earthquake. I've lived in Suzhou for nearly fifty years and I've never heard of an earthquake in Suzhou."

The prefect was also dumbfounded.

He's a local from Suzhou. How could he not know if Suzhou is prone to earthquakes?

Having lived for nearly fifty years, this was the first time he had ever encountered something like this.

The earthquake lasted only a few tens of seconds.

After the earthquake subsided, the prefect led his men out of the yamen to deal with the chaos in the city.

After an unknown amount of time, the constables from the yamen brought back even more shocking news.

"Sir, it's not good, it's not good."

"The Yan family has disappeared."

"The entire Yan family manor has vanished."

"There's only one lake left."

"What? What did you say? The Yan family has disappeared?"

"Yes, sir, the Yan family has disappeared."

"We're doomed, completely doomed, we're going to die."

The Suzhou prefect slumped to the ground, his face filled with despair.

This is the Yan family, after all.

The Yan family members died in his jurisdiction.

Whatever the reason, he couldn't escape the connection; he had already seen his official career come to an end.

……

There is a children's rhyme about Lanling.

Lanling, a city with a thousand-year history, is seven-tenths owned by the Yan family.

This Yan family is one of the four sacred families.

Lanling City, a city that the Yan family has painstakingly managed for over a thousand years, has long since taken on the shape of the Yan family.

Whether it was the prefect of the city or the officials at all levels, they were all members of the Yan family.

To put it bluntly, the entire city of Lanling belongs to the Yan family.

Lanling has two cities, an inner city and an outer city.

The outer city was no different from other cities.

The inner city is the private residence of the Yan family, which refuses entry to all outsiders. Only members of the Yan family and those with Yan family blood are allowed to enter the inner city.

This is extremely strict.

Even the most favored students of the Yan family cannot enter without permission.

Servants and maids were also not allowed to enter.

The Yan family rules are extremely strict.

The Yan family, who live in the inner city.

Washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning must all be done by oneself; one cannot delegate these tasks to others, not even the head of the household.

Such a harsh inner city is not a place where you can live as you please.

Even if you are a member of the Yan family, you can only be qualified to enter the inner city. If you want to live there, you have to go through layers of tests.

You will be allowed to live in the inner city only if you pass the test.

Even so, every year, members of the Yan family would attempt to pass the examinations and enter the rigorous inner city life.

why?
Because the inner city has the Confucian and Taoist traditions of the Yan family.

Only by entering the inner city can one truly experience the noble spirit of Confucianism and Taoism.

Even those members of the Yan family who fail the assessment are not entirely without the opportunity to live there.

September, December, and January are the birthdays of saints, and the two months surrounding the Spring Festival, respectively.

This is the time when all members of the Yan family can live in the inner city.

At this time of year, members of the Yan family from various places return to worship their ancestors.

……

Mid-December is the busiest time in the inner city.

Almost all members of the Yan family who could attend did so.

The sound of reading aloud could be heard both inside and outside the city.
