Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 387 - 152: Witch Immortal! Fan Wu: That is a deity! (Request for Subscription to the 10,000-word Mega - )_2
"Oh!" Yun Jiuqing immediately nodded, knowing what Daoist Priest Fan was referring to as incense burner ash—it was the incense burner ash offered to the True Martial Great Emperor!
To tell the truth, when she first learned the truth, her face was all expressions of shock.
After all...that was the incense burner ash offered to the True Martial Demon-Conquering Great Emperor! Daoist Priest Fan actually took it away, one could only say that it was truly fitting of Daoist Priest Fan!
Considering that Daoist Priest Fan even carried the True Martial Great Emperor’s Demon-slaying Sword, him taking the incense burner ash offered to the True Martial Great Emperor didn’t seem particularly surprising after all.
Hmm...
Probably!
Yun Jiuqing fetched an iron canister from the pile of miscellaneous items carried by the Old Blue Ox, and carefully opened it to see a can of incense ash inside.
She didn’t even dare to breathe heavily, for fear that a breath might cause her to inhale the incense ash.
Yun Jiuqing carefully touched the incense burner ash inside with her fingertip. Then she resealed the canister tightly and placed it back in its original spot.
She then took out an Evil-Repelling Talisman, placing the incense ash that stained her fingertip onto it.
And folded the talisman.
Holding it out to Head Arrestor Liu.
Yun Jiuqing spoke solemnly, "The incense burner ash in this talisman is no ordinary matter! Absolutely, absolutely do not commit any irreverent act towards the incense ash inside! Otherwise... the consequences might be scarier than offending that whatever Ghost Immortal!"
Head Arrestor Liu swallowed nervously, Yun Jiuqing’s words made his entire being tense up.
Head Arrestor Liu nodded like a pecking chicken, accepting the talisman with utmost seriousness.
And then, as if guarding a treasure.
He carefully tucked it into his pocket.
As if what he held was not some talisman, but a gold ingot that could secure him a lifetime of carefree sustenance.
Such a metaphor.
Was very fitting indeed.
Seeing that Head Arrestor Liu, the only ordinary person present, finally had the True Martial Great Emperor’s incense burner ash for protection, Fan Wu also shifted his gaze away from there.
He cast his calm gaze towards the interior of the house, and then walked in with measured steps.
The house was not particularly large.
But Head Arrestor Liu must have cleaned up the place nicely, a lot of things had been moved away, leaving only three bedsteads. On one bedstead lay a person who looked both young and not young, and the other two bedsteads each bore an old person.
The former should be Head Arrestor Liu’s disgraceful brother-in-law, it was because of that guy’s involvement with a group of bad friends in silent gambling that led to a series of events.
Events that even affected two large families.
The other two old people must be Head Arrestor Liu’s fathers-in-law, who were victims of this incident.
They did nothing and got dragged into trouble by their son.
Of course...
It’s also possible that the two of them were too indulgent and spoiled their son too much, which led to the incident befalling them.
However.
Fan Wu wasn’t particularly concerned about that.
What he cared about.
Was only the "Ghost Immortal." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
To be honest.
When he heard key terms like "Ghost Immortal," "lifespan," and "legendary," the first thought that popped into Fan Wu’s head was—The Great Revered One/Witch Immortal!
Because such a modus operandi was all too similar to that of a rural Evil God, it truly didn’t allow Fan Wu much room for other thoughts.
This... couldn’t possibly be another new rural Evil God, could it?
In Fan Wu’s memory, the Great Zhou Dynasty shouldn’t have been this chaotic!
Two Evil Gods in a dynasty was already quite outlandish.
To have another one...
Are you sure this dynasty isn’t gravely ill?
[Head Arrestor Liu’s brother-in-law—Life: 21—Power: 0.2—Technique: None]
[Head Arrestor Liu’s father-in-law—Life: 7—Power: 0.1—Technique: None]
[Head Arrestor Liu’s mother-in-law—Life: 5—Power: 0.1—Technique: None]
The three people lying on the bedsteads had very low attribute values in Fan Wu’s eyes.
And one of the instigators, Head Arrestor Liu’s brother-in-law, even had the highest [Life] attribute and [Power] attribute among the three.
Maybe it was because he was very young.
As for the other two, they were at least fifty-year-old elders... The two elders had their lifespans plundered by the so-called Ghost Immortal.
That must have been terribly unpleasant.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty of this mysterious world, especially for ordinary people who were not Cultivators, anyone over forty-five could be considered old.
After all, the average lifespan wasn’t very long to begin with.
Living past fifty.
Was already quite an achievement!
If it were not for Fan Wu recently providing Head Arrestor Liu with some incense burner ash, and if Head Arrestor Liu had not had the presence of mind to use the incense ash for protective charms... probably both of his elderly fathers-in-law, who were already of considerable age, couldn’t have held on till now!
"Daoist Priest Fan..." At that moment, Head Arrestor Liu’s timid inquiry came from outside the door, "They... they should still have a chance to be saved, right? It shouldn’t be..."
Head Arrestor Liu didn’t dare to continue, as carrying on would have meant cursing his own family.
"Whether they can be saved or not, I am not too sure," Fan Wu answered frankly, because he truly wasn’t sure.
