Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 440 - 161: County Town Trembles! The Great Revered One Intends to Seize the Authority of a True God! (10,000-Word Mega - , Subscription Requested)_1
Despite Xing Fengzi considering himself to have a solid mental fortitude for his young age, when he heard Daoist Fan Wu utter the following words...
Within Xing Fengzi’s mind, waves of tumultuous emotions inevitably began to surge.
"So... it turns out the ’Great Revered One’ that Daoist Fan Wu just mentioned... is an Evil God..."
Xing Fengzi’s murmuring voice sounded somewhat dazed.
All of a sudden, he felt that his experience since leaving the mountain was a bit too fantastical. Within just a few days, he hadn’t only encountered the marriage of the Rat Immortal, a bizarre event already hard to come by.
He had also met a very powerful Daoist Priest Fan, as well as an individual who seemed to be the Commandery Prince of Nanjun.
And now, he was even about to provoke an Evil God?
Moreover...
Daoist Fan Wu had said that this Evil God possessed enough power to slay land gods or Mountain Gods, the kind of righteous deities.
Goodness gracious!
Xing Fengzi couldn’t help but recall how his seniors had comforted him before he left the mountain with words like "The world below the mountain is not that big of a deal," "It’s quite rare to encounter really bizarre situations," and "As long as you don’t stir up trouble, you can complete your apprenticeship journey safely."
He now felt that the comforting words of those seniors... seemed to be nothing but hot air.
Was this what they called ’not a big deal’? Was this what they called ’quite rare to encounter bizarre situations’? Could this really be considered safe and sound?
Xing Fengzi fell into doubt.
He seriously wondered whether his seniors had also lived a rather bitter life during their training, and then when it came to his apprenticeship, each and every one of them used such comforting rhetoric to hoodwink him?
The likelihood seemed high.
But... was he truly scared? Xing Fengzi thought carefully and then gauged his own emotions, realizing that he was not scared; it was merely a feeling of shock.
With that thought in mind.
Under the watchful gaze of Daoist Fan Wu before him, Xing Fengzi took a deep breath, and with the Demon-Binding Rope in his hand, he proceeded to tie up the Rat Bride. However, due to the rope being rather long, after tying it once, there was a lot left over.
Xing Fengzi thought for a moment, then tied another loop, and another loop, continuing to create patterns with each new loop.
It was only when he had almost tied the Rat Bride into a figure reminiscent of a bound furry rat-headed person that he finally finished.
Under Daoist Fan Wu’s somewhat strange gaze.
Xing Fengzi said earnestly, "Please Daoist Priest Fan, be sure to take me along to the Rat Immortal Cave!"
After speaking.
Xing Fengzi asked confusedly, "Daoist Priest Fan, why are you looking at me with such an expression?"
"Don’t you have any side job?" Daoist Fan Wu glanced at the Rat Bride’s appearance and then at the earnest-faced Xing Fengzi.
"Ah?" Xing Fengzi was startled, "What do you mean by ’side job’, Daoist Priest Fan?"
"Never mind." Seeing his innocent expression akin to that of a chick, Daoist Fan Wu knew that Xing Fengzi did not have any particular side job.
Scratching his head, Xing Fengzi was somewhat confused.
...
Time.
Soon it was the next day.
Dawn.
Daoist Fan Wu had not been in a hurry to rush to the Rat Immortal Cave overnight, because even if they traveled all day and night to reach the Rat Immortal Cave, they would still likely have to wait a good half a day or even longer for the arrival of the bald evil cultivator, a subordinate of the ’Great Revered One’ mentioned by the Rat Bride.
Therefore, with regards to going to the Rat Immortal Cave, Daoist Fan Wu was not particularly anxious. He waited until the next morning to prepare to leave from the Zheng Family in Zhengjian County.
The previous night at the Zheng Family’s residence, Daoist Fan Wu had received a very good hospitality, with the people of the Zheng Family pulling out all the stops to thank Daoist Fan Wu and his companions...
At this moment.
Watching the departure of Daoist Fan Wu and the others, an Elder of the Zheng Family looked at the receding figures in the distance, speaking in a somewhat melancholic tone, "How wonderful it would be if that Daoist Xing Fengzi and Daoist Fan Wu were willing to stay within the Zheng Family! Even if they did not wish to stay within the Zheng Family, staying in Zhengjian County would be absolutely marvelous!"
Next to him, the Family Head of the Zheng Family glanced at him and said, "Such soaring dragons, destined to rise high, are not something a mere Zheng Family can accommodate, their ambitions are too grand."
The Zheng Family Head sighed, "Back when I was as young as Daoist Priest Fan and Daoist Xing Fengzi... I was still painstakingly learning the Scriptures of cultivation passed down by my family."
And then, what about Daoist Xing Fengzi and Daoist Priest Fan?
One so young could successfully summon a deity on his first try, and the other could thrash a Rat Immortal as easily as beating a dog!
Next to him.
The Elder of the Zheng Family spoke, "Family Head, did you hear what Daoist Priest Fan said last night?"
"I heard it," the Zheng Family Head said with a complex expression, "Last night, during their conversation, Daoist Fan Wu and Daoist Xing Fengzi were not very loud, but since nobody else was speaking at the time, I believe there were hardly a few in the entire Zheng Family who couldn’t hear them."
The Zheng Family Elder swallowed nervously and said, "Daoist Fan Wu wouldn’t really be planning to take Daoist Xing Fengzi with him to the Rat Immortal Cave to provoke an Evil God, would he?"
The Zheng Family Head shook his head, "Who knows... But judging by the way Daoist Priest Fan handles things, I think it’s very likely."
