Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 781 - 219: Abnormal City God! Familiar Aura!_3
A Taoist who appeared to be about the same age as Xing Fengzi strode forward and, after a brief glance at Fan Wu and the others, curiously asked, "Is this Daoist friend also here to pay homage to the Immortal Gods?"
Xing Fengzi was taken aback, "Immortal...Gods?!!"
He was a bit bewildered and asked, "Why go to pay homage to the Immortal Gods?"
"You’re not a local, are you?" the enthusiastic Taoist remarked upon hearing Xing Fengzi’s different accent, and suddenly realized, "Our City Lord God in Zhu Yao Province descends to show His spirit every once in a while!"
"Whenever that time comes, many cultivators and common folk will go to pay their respects to His Lordship. And He, too, will most generously deliver divine lectures and discuss the Dao with us - we are all going to pay homage to the City Lord God!"
This quite enthusiastic Taoist explained the reason why this group of people had gathered together in just a few words.
This made Xing Fengzi realize, "A City Lord God descends to give lectures?"
"Yes!" said the keen Taoist, "It’s the grand event of the year in our Zhu Yao Province, quite extraordinary indeed!"
"I see... this Daoist friend is also traveling along this imperial road, which leads right to the City God Temple."
"How about, dear friend, you join us for a visit?"
As he spoke these words, there was still a hint of pride in the enthusiastic Taoist’s tone - after all, not any place would have a City Lord God descending to give sermons.
"Apologies, but I cannot decide on my own," Xing Fengzi slightly shook his head, then looked at Fan Wu, "Daoist Priest Fan, what do you think?"
"If it happens to be on the way, then let’s join in the excitement," Fan Wu said, "Perhaps there will be some unexpected gains."
"Daoist Priest Fan?" the ardent Taoist asked in surprise, "This person, is he also a member of the Daoist Sect? Another cultivator?"
Xing Fengzi explained, "Aside from this Layperson Liu Feng who is a local from the Great Yan Dynasty, the rest of us are cultivators from the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"I am Xing Fengzi, from Di Zu Guan of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"This Layperson Yun Jiuqing, from the Yun Clan of Nanjun in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"And this Daoist Fan Wu, from Qiulong Temple of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
The passionate Taoist was suddenly shocked.
He had thought that only Xing Fengzi was a cultivator, because Xing Fengzi was clearly distinguished, not just an ordinary Taoist.
But he hadn’t expected that everyone in the group was a cultivator!
And three of them were even from the neighboring Great Zhou Dynasty!
"So you are all Daoist friends!" the enthusiastic Taoist introduced himself, "I am a Taoist of Xian Valley Taoist Temple from the Great Yan Dynasty, and those are my senior brothers - we are all cultivators."
Xian Valley Taoist Temple?
Never heard of it!
It was clear that Xing Fengzi had never heard of any Taoist Temple in the Great Yan Dynasty.
But since Daoist Priest Fan Wu had already spoken.
The group naturally followed along with this bunch of people, all heading in the same direction.
In the bustling crowd, there were men and women, both young and old.
From the eagerness in their eyes, it was clear that they held the City Lord God in high esteem.
And among the crowd... many were curiously looking at Fan Wu and the others, given that they stood out in such a group, indeed quite eye-catching.
Especially since Fan Wu and company were pulling a coffin, and whether by accent or by posture, did not seem like people from the Great Yan Dynasty.
All these traits combined made them particularly conspicuous.
Of course, facing the curious gazes of the commoners.
Fan Wu and the others were already accustomed to it and could completely disregard these stares.
Time flowed on.
By the next day, they had arrived at a city! This place was the capital city of Zhu Yao Province, sharing the same name as the province, called Zhu Yao City.
It looked somewhat like a provincial capital city before noon.
The city was quite bustling at first glance, almost as big as Yinghe Prefecture in the Great Zhou Dynasty, perhaps even a bit larger.
Everyone’s faces in the city were brimming with anticipation, clearly many were aware of what day was coming.
"I had thought... that only our City God in Yinghe Prefecture of Nanjun in the Great Zhou Dynasty would preach to others. I didn’t expect that a City God in the Great Yan Dynasty would also preach to others," Yun Jiuqing remarked with emotion, watching the bustling crowd around her. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
With this mention, she recalled her first encounter with followers of the Witch Immortals in Yinghe Prefecture.
However, she wouldn’t expect to come across such a thing in the Great Yan Dynasty, as the Witch Immortals were already dead beyond death.
Even if the followers of the Witch Immortals were still active, they would most likely be in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It was unlikely that their influence would extend to the Great Yan Dynasty.
If their influence could spread to other dynasties, then they wouldn’t have been so easily exterminated by Daoist Priest Fan Wu, right?
Hmm!
Probably!
Truth be told, Yun Jiuqing still felt somewhat apprehensive; after all, it was also one of her psychological shadows.
That was the first time she faced a life-and-death crisis.
If it hadn’t been for Daoist Priest Fan’s rescue.
She would have been gone!
"And the scene of this City God in the Great Yan Dynasty is much grander than that of the City God in the Great Zhou Dynasty," Yun Jiuqing lamented, "I remember the City God of Yinghe Prefecture only invited cultivators and strange creatures to listen to His sermons."
