Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 390 - 152: Witch Immortal! Fan Wu: That is a deity! (Request for Subscription to the 10,000-word Mega - )_5
The relationship has always been tight!
Moreover...
Although Yun Jiuqing couldn’t command the Chief Flag Officer with this token, he could clear the doubts in the Chief Flag Officer’s mind.
Choose to trust Fan Wu.
To trust Yun Jiuqing.
"So the two of you are not ordinary cultivators," said the Chief Flag Officer, who was capable of adapting to circumstances. His demeanor, previously somewhat rigid, now softened considerably, "This lowly one is blind for not recognizing your worth. Please forgive me! Since both of you are highly trusted by the Prefecture, we shall proceed as Daoist Priest Fan suggests."
Even though he still felt Fan Wu’s method was a bit too risky and a single misstep could easily harm the innocent,
But... these two held the Prefecture Lord’s Token, so any mishap couldn’t be blamed on him, the Chief Flag Officer.
So where to find such a civilian who isn’t afraid of death?
That’s easy!
The Chief Flag Officer of the Imperial Agency knew there would always be those who loved silver.
Silver can always turn the mill for a ghost.
Thus.
Night fell.
As night descended upon Guyuan County and the temperature dropped, Head Arrestor Liu nervously added an extra layer of clothing to himself. With his Life attribute now down to a precarious 41 points, even a summer night could make him feel a bit chilly.
Now, his father-in-law’s modest house was crammed with people.
Most of them were from the Imperial Agency, who had come here before. However, during their previous visit, they were unable to solve any problems.
Apart from Head Arrestor Liu’s family.
The scene...
Also included one average man.
The man’s clothing did not look particularly poor, but neither could he be considered wealthy by any stretch. His face carried no fear, only excitement and agitation.
He rubbed his hands together and murmured to himself, "Fifty silvers, fifty silvers... That’s enough for me to loiter around the gambling dens for days. Maybe with a bit of luck, I can turn fifty into five hundred in a single day. And in just ten days, turn the five hundred into five thousand, and become a man of wealth!"
"When the time comes, I’ll visit the best brothel in Guyuan County and pick the finest Oiran! Especially those who claim they sell art, not their bodies—if I throw down a few hundred silver, I bet they won’t refuse!"
"Hehehehe..."
Indeed.
To summon this alleged Ghost Immortal, the Imperial Agency had spent fifty silvers to find a man around the same age as Head Arrestor Liu’s brother-in-law, also beset with a gambling addiction.
In reality, it wouldn’t take fifty silvers to convince such a man to risk his life; just a few silvers would probably excite him enough to throw caution to the wind without a second thought.
But the Chief Flag Officer of the Imperial Agency felt a bit of guilt.
"Chief Flag Officer!" one of the Imperial Agency’s members approached, holding a Bagua Compass, and said, "There’s half an incense stick’s time left until the heaviest Yin Energy tonight."
"Hmm," the Chief Flag Officer nodded. He turned to look at Fan Wu, "Daoist Priest Fan, in half an incense stick’s time, if we can truly summon the Ghost Immortal, it will be up to you."
"Alright," Fan Wu’s reply was exceptionally succinct.
Such a courteous attitude from the Chief Flag Officer towards Fan Wu made his subordinates quite curious.
Some Imperial Agency members secretly sized up Fan Wu.
They were deeply curious as to why the Chief Flag Officer was so polite to him?
Aside from a more robust stature and somewhat intimidating presence,
Was there something special about him?
Could he be an extremely accomplished cultivator?
But he didn’t seem the part! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
They could tell Fan Wu was relatively young. Even the youngest member of the Imperial Agency in Guyuan County was probably older than Fan Wu.
Under these circumstances,
they became even more curious.
"That... Daoist Priest Fan, there shouldn’t be... too much danger, right?" Head Arrestor Liu crept up and asked with great concern, "Do I need to move my fathers-in-law and brother-in-law out of here?"
Fan Wu glanced at him, "What do you think?"
Head Arrestor Liu was taken aback. He looked around and noticed that everyone from the Imperial Agency had a grave expression.
An impending sense of a storm approaching.
He suddenly realized!
Anxiously, Head Arrestor Liu said, "I’ll move my fathers-in-law and brother-in-law out right away! To... to one mile, no! Ten miles away!"
The Chief Flag Officer said, "I’ll have a few of my men help you take them away."
Head Arrestor Liu nearly kowtowed to the Chief Flag Officer in his extreme gratitude.
He quickly thanked him.
Soon.
Only one average man was left in Head Arrestor Liu’s father-in-law’s home. The guy seemed to have no sense of the danger approaching, still lost in fantasies about the future.
Half an incense stick’s time.
Passed!
Clutching a silver ingot, the Chief Flag Officer addressed the gambling-addicted man, "The time has come, Zhao Ergou, do you remember the procedure? Shall we guide you step by step, or can you manage it?"
"I remember! I remember!" Zhao Ergou’s eyes were fixed on the silver ingot in the Chief Flag Officer’s hand, saliva nearly dripping from his mouth. He nodded vigorously, "I’ll do it now, I’ll do it—just don’t go back on your word!"
