Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 104 - 89: Only Daoist Priest Fan Dares to Ask the City God How to Suppress Gods and Buddhas! (Seeking First Subscription)_2
The Yin Envoy put away the Soul-Collecting Umbrella and gave Fan Wu a long, deep nod. His hoarse and sinister tone carried a hint of thought-provoking respect, "Yin Envoy Huang San greets the honored officer!"
Indeed.
This approaching Yin Envoy was none other than Huang San!
Although his voice was not very loud, in such an environment where all eyes were on them and no one else spoke...
It seemed exceptionally clear.
Unless someone had a problem with their ears, they would be able to hear what he was saying.
And precisely because of this.
They were dumbstruck!
Each and every one was wide-eyed and tongue-tied!!
"That is a Yin Envoy Lord!"
The corpulent Taoist in the crowd was completely dumbfounded as he exclaimed in shock, "Who... who exactly is this person to receive such profound respect from a Yin Envoy of Yinghe Prefecture?"
His companion pondered, "Honored officer? What does this mean? Could it be a rank among the Yin Envoys? But... this person is full of Yang Qi, his blood and Qi are robust, clearly a living man. How could a living man be a Yin Envoy?"
At that moment.
Huang San’s voice continued to ring out: "Honored officer, you are a distinguished guest of the City Lord God, please follow me this way."
"And these few... are they friends of the honored officer? Please also come this way with me."
Under the gaze of all, Yin Envoy Huang San led Fan Wu, Chong Hengzi, Chen Zhuan, and the others in a certain direction.
Fan Wu was quite calm, not feeling any excitement at being called a "distinguished guest."
It was as though everything that was happening was nothing out of the ordinary in his eyes; he led Old Blue Ox with a serene expression, walking unhurriedly.
On the contrary, Chong Hengzi, Chen Zhuan, and the others were utterly bewildered!
They realized that somehow, under mysterious circumstances, they seemed to have been graced by the light of Daoist Priest Fan!
Because of their acquaintance with Daoist Priest Fan.
The Yin Envoy at the temple of the Yinghe Prefecture City God’s mansion treated them rather courteously as well.
Such an occurrence...
If it had been in the past, it would have been unthinkable for them!
It left them feeling as if in a dream.
Even Chong Hengzi, who had seen much of the world, was encountering such a situation for the first time. When he came to the Yinghe Prefecture City God’s temple for the City God’s birthday ten years ago, he did not receive such treatment!
Yin Envoy Huang San brought Fan Wu and the others to the main hall of the City God’s temple.
Inside the main hall.
There were a dozen or so Yin Envoys!
The statue of the City God still stood in the center of the main hall, the large and slightly divine figure imposing an intangible pressure.
It made one unconsciously feel an impulse to bow down in worship.
In front of the god statue was a massive incense burner, from which hundreds of incense candles were burning slowly, with wisps of green smoke billowing continuously.
On both sides, there were several tables set out.
The tables were laden with various foods, which looked appetizing and smelled drool-worthy.
"It’s... it’s the City Lord God!" Chong Hengzi realized, and the faint divinity emanating from the god statue startled him.
He hurriedly bowed to the City God: "Disciple Chong Hengzi, Master of Tianfu Mountain, pays respects to the City Lord God!"
His disciples followed suit and bowed one after another.
At their side.
Chen Zhuan quickly pulled Chen Xiaoxiao aside, and then father and daughter followed suit, bowing together to the god statue.
"Sit."
As if coming from the high heavens, a melodious voice struck their ears, and Chong Hengzi and the others felt a breeze lift them, causing them to sit unconsciously beside the stools near the tables.
Then, they noticed... Daoist Priest Fan was already sitting grandly at the table, having begun to eat.
And Daoist Priest Fan’s Green Ox was lying down half-reclined next to him, taking a rest.
At a glance, they seemed... not even as composed as an ox, with the cattle seeming more collected than them!
This embarrassed Chong Hengzi and the others.
The door of the City God’s temple main hall was very spacious; one could see everything outside from the inside and vice versa.
And so.
The congregation of Cultivators outside displayed expressions of confusion and envy.
Why would the City Lord God invite those people into the main hall? Were those few seats in the main hall specially prepared for them?
But why would that be?
Did that muscular Taoist have such influence?
What exactly had he done to be so highly regarded by the City God of Yinghe Prefecture?
Everyone was puzzled.
In attendance, only a handful of people knew the truth, and unsurprisingly, they were from the Imperial Court’s Qi Men Division!
"Chief Flag Officer, Daoist Priest Fan and his friends have been invited into the main hall! They must be some of the honored guests for the City God’s birthday feast this year, right?"
A Qi Men Division Chief Flag Officer remarked with a sigh: "If only I had the prowess of Daoist Priest Fan..."
The Chi Men Division Chief Officer Long Sheng glanced at him with a half-smile, "If you had such prowess, why would you settle for just being a Chief Flag Officer? I would let you take over my position as Chief Officer."
The Chief Flag Officer was immediately startled, laughing nervously with a strong desire to survive: "Ahem! My lord... I had no such intention."
"..."
Suddenly.
Gusts of Yin wind began to sweep through the City God’s temple.
What had been a somewhat noisy temple gradually fell silent as the cultivators all closed their mouths and stopped talking.
Or rather, they dared not say more!
Because.
Every person present could distinctly feel a terrifying aura enveloping the City God’s temple. Though the aura carried no malice, it still caused hearts to palpitate.
