Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 386 - 152: Witch Immortal! Fan Wu: That is a deity! (Request for Subscription to the 10,000-word Mega - )_1
With a mix of excitement and nervousness, Head Arrestor Liu led Fan Wu and Yun Jiuqing into an alley of Guyuan County, then quickly approached a residence.
As for the Nanjun County Prince tied up on Old Blue Ox, he of course saw him, but Head Arrestor Liu was a clever man.
Even though he found it particularly strange, he did not ask any questions as he felt it would be overstepping his bounds.
"Daoist Priest Fan, this is my fathers-in-law’s home," said Head Arrestor Liu as he pointed to several protective talismans pasted on the door, and continued, "These are blessings granted by the local Imperial Heavenly Office, said to ward off evil and safeguard against misfortune. I’m not sure if they work, but I just pasted them here anyway."
"They do have their uses," explained Yun Jiuqing, "These are a type of exorcism charm that’s quite popular. Pasted on the door, they can block many wandering souls and wild ghosts, preventing them from causing trouble."
Head Arrestor Liu suddenly realized, "So that’s how it is!"
His gaze towards Yun Jiuqing carried a hint of respect, albeit not as much as he held for Fan Wu.
In Head Arrestor Liu’s eyes, Yun Jiuqing was just an ordinary cultivator.
But Daoist Priest Fan was different.
Daoist Priest Fan was a disciple of the Heavenly Master of Qiulong Temple, a cultivator of immense strength!
He was worlds apart from other cultivators!
After all, the protective talismans provided by the local Imperial Heavenly Office of Guyuan County could barely stop the "Ghost Immortal" from stealing the lifespan of the families, while the one charm that Daoist Priest Fan had given had water brewed from it that could stop the "Ghost Immortal"!
Wasn’t the difference between them obvious right away?
How could the local Imperial Heavenly Office of Guyuan County compare with Daoist Priest Fan?
And then.
Head Arrestor Liu slowly pushed the door open.
This family’s estate wasn’t particularly large, and the decoration of the houses inside wasn’t luxurious, belonging to the kind of average citizens in the county town who were neither very poor nor very rich.
"Please, Daoist Priest Fan."
"Please, Miss Yun," said Head Arrestor Liu, with a very humble attitude and a particularly deferential tone.
After Fan Wu, Yun Jiuqing, and Old Blue Ox stepped inside, Head Arrestor Liu slowly closed the door of the estate.
He rubbed his hands together.
His face full of anxiety.
Just as he was about to lead Daoist Priest Fan to see his good-for-nothing brother-in-law and his two fathers-in-law, he found that Daoist Priest Fan had taken the initiative to walk towards one of the houses in the estate.
This caught Head Arrestor Liu off guard.
Because in order to take care of the three more conveniently, Head Arrestor Liu had purposely emptied one house and took the three into that house, so he could look after all three at once.
But... how did Daoist Priest Fan know that his brother-in-law and fathers-in-law were inside?
Hisss!
Could this be the divine calculation of Daoist Priest Fan?
It was said that the late Heavenly Master was very adept at forecasting.
It seems.
Daoist Priest Fan had truly inherited the skills of the old Heavenly Master!
While Head Arrestor Liu was lost in thought.
Fan Wu had already pushed the door open.
As soon as the door opened,
Fan Wu could feel a burst of Yin Energy rushing towards him, and with his own eyes, he could see that the mass of Yin Energy seemed to be dodging him on purpose.
Then it went straight for Head Arrestor Liu behind him.
However, just as the Yin Energy was about to invade Head Arrestor Liu’s body... Yun Jiuqing next to him suddenly sensed something was wrong and had already gripped a talisman in her hand.
Before Head Arrestor Liu could react, Yun Jiuqing pasted the talisman on his forehead.
"Ah?" Head Arrestor Liu looked confused, "Miss Yun, what are you doing?"
As soon as he uttered his question,
The talisman on his forehead burst into flames, sending Head Arrestor Liu into a panic as he hurriedly slapped at it.
Disorder and panic spread across his face.
Yun Jiuqing furrowed her brows, not expecting her own talisman to fail, and muttered doubtfully to herself, "Even the talisman my father gave me can’t block it? What in the world is this so-called ’Ghost Immortal’?"
"It didn’t stop it?" Head Arrestor Liu keenly caught the keyword in Yun Jiuqing’s sentence and, thinking of the strange occurrences his family had experienced, got so scared that goosebumps rose on his skin.
Head Arrestor Liu drew in a sharp breath, "Just now... there wasn’t something trying to attack me, was there?"
"Indeed." Fan Wu spoke before Yun Jiuqing could respond, "And it has successfully attacked you."
Head Arrestor Liu’s eyes widened, "What?!"
He was dumbfounded!
[Qiulong County Head Arrestor—Life: 41—Power: 2—Skills: None]
These were the attribute values that Fan Wu saw in Head Arrestor Liu.
A moment before,
Head Arrestor Liu’s [Life] attribute was 43, but after that mass of Yin Energy invaded his body, he lost awareness, and his [Life] attribute plummeted to 41.
And Fan Wu remembered that when Head Arrestor Liu was in Qiulong County, his [Life] attribute once reached 66!
How long had it been?
Less than half a year had passed, and his [Life] attribute dropped from 66 to 41 points.
Tsk...
It’s getting interesting. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Take some incense burner ash from a jar on Old Blue Ox and give it to Head Arrestor Liu," Fan Wu instructed Yun Jiuqing, "lest... before we even start our tasks, he turns completely gray-haired and steps into his twilight years."
