Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility

Chapter 729: Chapter 209: Outer Domain Devotee of the Heavenly Demon! Descent of Demons and Devils! (Please Subscribe)_1

The Magistrate of Iron Mountain County’s eyes widened a fraction, his gaze tinged with a hint of indignation as he stared down the newcomer, and with gritted teeth, he issued a warning, "Who are you? Do you know where you are?"

Thinking about the lump of mangled human flesh plastered against the wall sent a shiver down his spine.

The way he looked at the imposing stranger began to show thick caution.

And... a hint of fear that he couldn’t quite conceal!

In the mouths of many townsfolk, the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County was a gluttonous, dog-eating official, which meant he was not a foolish man.

Especially since he had been greedy in Iron Mountain County for so long without being brought down by the Imperial Court, it further proved he was no fool.

Earlier, when he saw that lump of mangled flesh, he already knew that the visitor boded ill.

Moreover, having been the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County for so long, he had never seen anyone as tall and burly as this uninvited guest.

He was certain that this person who had suddenly burst in was by no means a local of Iron Mountain County!

In his mind, one thought followed another.

Unconsciously, the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County shifted his buttocks back a bit, trying to put some distance between himself and the stranger.

At the same time...

He was signaling to the old Taoist next to him.

"The boundless San Qing Supreme Demon." The old Taoist quickly discerned that the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County was indeed very frightened, as he called out with words different from those of other Taoists.

Then, he used the horsetail whisk he held in his right hand to dust off his plain Daoist robe.

As if to flick away nonexistent dust.

After that, he took another sip of hot tea to soothe his throat.

Only after these motions did the old Taoist slowly rise to his feet, although his faith lay with the so-called San Qing Supreme Demon.

Yet his demeanor now was much like that of a renowned and upright master of the Daoist Sect.

Exemplifying the elegance of the Daoist way.

The gravitas of the old Taoist gave the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County a bit of reassurance, allowing him to relax slightly, "With the Taoist Priest taking action, even an unknown villain should be apprehended."

If it were any ordinary Taoist, he might not be particularly trusting.

But this Taoist... if he believed in an Evil God,

Then the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County trusted him completely!

Even though he didn’t fully understand the intentions behind cultivation, he knew that a Taoist who could worship entities akin to Evil Gods was certainly not a simple one!

He had often heard that just any practitioner of the demonic path could cause the entirety of the Holy Fire Guard in the county to be utterly frazzled.

Thinking this, wouldn’t the demonic path be more formidable than the orthodox path?

It was just that the orthodox had more followers than the demonic, at most.

That’s what the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County thought.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County looked back at the stranger who had intruded, and no longer had the previous fear, but rather recovered his usual composure. He said to the stranger, "To barge into an official residence and harm its people is a capital offence."

"You who break into the yamen, killing officials without a word, report your name. Such sneaky actions are not those of a gentleman," the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County paused for a moment before continuing, "It would be best for you to state your name and purpose."

"And tell us who sent you here. By doing so, you may be spared the ensuing pain and suffering."

Faced with such remarks from the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County.

Fan Wu smiled, "To dispatch so many to welcome this poor Daoist, causing such a commotion that the whole city knows, don’t you know who I am?"

This response from Fan Wu caught the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County off guard, as he couldn’t think when he had sent people to welcome this fellow?

He knew that he and the man who had brazenly barged into the yamen and committed violence were complete strangers!

He, the dignified Magistrate,

On what whim would he send people to welcome such a person?

Hmm?

Wait a minute!

It seemed the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County had just thought of something, and he could detect the sarcasm in Fan Wu’s tone. He realized that the ’welcome’ Fan Wu referred to was sarcastic.

The fleeting enlightenment made his already large eyes widen even further.

Incredulity laced the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County’s tone, "Are you a rebel?!!"

He finally woke up to the situation, for who else would come to kill at this time with such ironic words if not a rebel?

After all, the biggest recent commotion in Iron Mountain County had been the many people he deployed to levy taxes, hadn’t it?

And the only tough nuts he encountered during the tax collection were the few out-of-towners they faced earlier in the day, right?

The Magistrate of Iron Mountain County could hardly believe what he was asking, "How did you break through the encirclement?!"

This was something completely beyond his understanding. He had sent so many people, yet this fellow managed to break through the encirclement and storm into the yamen?

Could this man be some reincarnation of a war deity?

That was preposterous!

"Magistrate, this villain is no ordinary rebel," spoke the old Taoist standing next to the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County. "If this old Taoist isn’t mistaken, this man is also a cultivator. To send a person flying away and reduce a human body to a pile of flesh, this must surely be a special kind of magic."
