Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 785 - 220: Demons and the City God! The name of Fan Wu shakes the whole city! (10,000 characters) _3
"Zhu Yao City is so close to the Great Yan Imperial City, once this dangerous individual... enters the Great Yan Dynasty’s Imperial City."
"You and I will be held accountable by the Imperial Court!"
Such words made the official shiver involuntarily; for a minor official like him, being held accountable by the Imperial Court could completely block his path to future promotion!
Apart from the officials in the offices of Zhu Yao City who knew of this matter, there were also many cultivators outside, drawn by the City Lord God’s preaching, who learned of this affair.
When these cultivators of the Great Yan Dynasty learned that a fugitive wanted by the Imperial Court boldly appeared at the City God Temple,
they were all filled with righteous indignation.
The City God Temple, with its statue of the City God capable of showing miracles, was viewed by them as the holiest of sites.
Yet in such a sacred place, could there really be a murderer, a maniac?
This man was also a wanted fugitive of the Great Yan Dynasty, with a huge bounty of a thousand taels of silver on his head!
This made them feel that such a sacred place...
had been desecrated by a villain!
"How can we allow such a murderous maniac to appear inside the City God Temple? Such an evildoer must be punished by everyone! If we do not exterminate such a villain, it would be intolerable by the heavens; we cultivators should unite to eradicate him!" exclaimed some hot-blooded cultivators, chanting such slogans.
"It’s still better to be cautious. This is a fiend who alone could kill dozens of the Holy Fire Guard. Ordinary cultivators, even dozens of them grouped together, might not be his match and could very likely be slaughtered in return," another cautioned.
"Humph! Isn’t it just a single person? What is there to fear? If the Holy Fire Guard isn’t his match, it’s because they’ve become corrupted!"
"The opponent is not just one person, don’t forget. The bounty also mentioned that he has several accomplices."
"Yes! That guy has accomplices, and several of them are cultivators."
"Hiss! Where did such a group come from?"
"They are all said to be outsiders. The closest to our Great Yan Dynasty would probably be the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Criminals from the Great Zhou Dynasty, huh?"
"Don’t forget what day it is today. Do you really want to make a mess in front of the City Lord God? That evildoer must have known that today is the day the City Lord God descends to preach, so he dared to show up at the City God Temple, certainly betting that we, the righteous, wouldn’t lay a hand on him."
"..."
The surrounding chatter left Yun Jiuqing and her companions agape.
"What is Daoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple?" Yun Jiuqing heard a Taoist from Immortal Valley Temple murmur in surprise, "When did the Dynasty acquire such a famous fugitive? Sounds somewhat familiar, as if I’ve heard it mentioned somewhere."
The Immortal Valley Temple was located in a remote area, and its Taoist priests seldom descended the mountain.
If not for the invitation of the common people to perform rituals or to visit Zhu Yao City to pay respects to the City Lord God, they would not descend the mountain.
The Taoist priests from Immortal Valley Temple were the group that Daoist Fan Wu and the others had encountered on their way, paving the road.
Yun Jiuqing: "..."
Yun Jiuqing didn’t know if she should remind the Taoists from Immortal Valley Temple that the Daoist Priest Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple they were discussing was actually Daoist Fan Wu.
Nor did she know if she should mention that she and Xing Fengzi, as well as Liu Feng, were Daoist Fan Wu’s "accomplices."
They were all fugitives wanted by the Great Yan Dynasty, all with bounties on their heads.
Added together, the bounty would likely total close to two thousand taels.
In the end, she decided not to say anything...
If the Taoists from Immortal Valley Temple could realize it on their own, then so be it; if they didn’t realize, then it was as if nothing had happened.
Yun Jiuqing moved to the side and then whispered to Xing Fengzi and Liu Feng, "It seems that Daoist Priest Fan is inside the City God Temple."
Liu Feng said in astonishment, "Daoist Fan Wu is heading straight for the City God Temple, but for what purpose? Could it be that he, too, wishes to hear the teachings of the City Lord God, who is about to descend?"
Xing Fengzi shook his head, "I believe it may not be that simple. Daoist Fan Wu doesn’t seem like the kind of person who can sit and listen to others preaching."
Although it didn’t seem right to judge Daoist Fan Wu this way, it seemed to be true.
Hearing this, Liu Feng scratched his head, "Then, there must be a reason for Daoist Fan Wu to go to the City God Temple, right?"
"Maybe it’s just a whim?" Yun Jiuqing offered this speculation.
Xing Fengzi said, "That’s a possibility too."
Just then, a flash of insight struck Liu Feng, and his eyes widened, "Do you think Daoist Fan Wu might be... seeking trouble with the City Lord God himself?"
As soon as these words were uttered, the other two fell silent.
Because... both Yun Jiuqing and Xing Fengzi suddenly felt that this possibility seemed more likely.
Could it really be the case?! Hiss!!
"I...I was just speaking off the cuff, surely Daoist Fan Wu wouldn’t go so far as to trouble a City God?" Liu Feng gulped down his saliva, doubting his own guess.
