Chapter 798: Chapter 223: Shaking Zhu Yao City! Worthy of Being Called the Terrestrial Sword Immortal!_2

If someone told them about such a thing, they would wonder if that person was boasting, or perhaps... had drunk too much and was talking nonsense?

"Who exactly issued such a warrant for Daoist Priest Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple?" a Daoist officer chuckled bitterly, "This... isn’t this harming people?"

"How can you be so sure... that the person fighting against the Demons and Devils is Daoist Priest Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Didn’t you hear how that Demon had roared?"

"Even that Demon had revealed his identity."

"Yes..." another Daoist officer echoed, "Even if it were a divine being descending to earth, they might not be able to capture him, right?"

After this remark was made, it seemed to unlock their train of thoughts.

"Do you think Daoist Priest Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple could be a celestial being who has descended to earth?" someone ventured such a guess, "Only a celestial being descending to earth could possibly slay such a Demon, right?"

Truth be told, they truly couldn’t imagine the extent of destruction such a terrifying Demon would cause if it charged into Zhu Yao City—would it flatten the entire city?

Even if it wasn’t as exaggerated as they imagined, at least a few hundred thousand people would be killed, right?

Hiss!

Zhu Yao City, in fact, had only a population of around a million; to kill a few hundred thousand was to decimate half its populace!

Frightening!

...

City God Temple.

The commotion in the distance gradually vanished, but it did not settle the surging emotions of everyone present. Every face was beaded with dense cold sweat, wishing they could stretch their necks to see what had happened outside the city. What was the situation like?

But the City God Temple was still quite a distance from the city outskirts, and most of the cultivators within the temple were not of particularly high cultivation, even less so than the Governor of Zhu Yao City.

Even if... they could really stretch their necks dozens of meters high, they still wouldn’t be able to see what was happening in the distance clearly.

All they knew was that the soul-stirring noises had disappeared, and that sword beam piercing the heavens had faded from their sight as well.

The cultivators inside the City God Temple looked at each other.

One could see the terror on each of their faces.

"Is it over? Did that Demon win, or did that fugitive win?" someone quietly gulped, speaking in a weak voice.

"It seems like Daoist Priest Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple, the one wanted by the Imperial Court, has won, haven’t you noticed that the huge Demon has vanished?"

"Then, that’s good, better that it was a person who won, not a terrifying Demon."

"Yes! If that Demon had broken into the city, the lives of tens of thousands wouldn’t have been enough to satisfy its hunger."

"Given the size of that Demon, tens of thousands of people might only be enough for one meal!"

"Was that Demon really the City Lord God? Does it mean that the fugitive has slain the City Lord God? If he wasn’t the City Lord God, then where is the real City Lord God? Or could it be that the Demon harmed the City Lord God, then impersonated him to consume our offerings?"

"Hiss! Do you have to make it sound so terrifying? A City Lord God is a celestial being, right? How could such a dignified City Lord God be slain so easily?"

"City Lord God has already ascended to divinity; do gods even die? Stop joking around!"

"Yeah, aren’t the gods supposed to be immortal?"

"That... immortality doesn’t necessarily mean one cannot die, does it? Everyone says that celestial beings are immortal, but no one says they can’t die!"

"Ah, this..."

"..."

Hearing the discussions of the surrounding cultivators, Yun Jiuqing glanced at their changing expressions and looked off into the distance, speaking, "Indeed, such a Demon is no match for Daoist Priest Fan."

"Indeed!" Liu Feng remarked with feeling, "A Demon that can disguise itself as the City God, even if not equivalent to the real City God, probably isn’t far off."

"However..." as these people mentioned, "Where has the local City Lord God gone, and why did a Demon impersonate him?"

Liu Feng was puzzled, "Could it really be like these people are guessing, that an accident occurred?"

If it had been in the past, he wouldn’t have believed that something could happen to a City Lord God.

After all, a City Lord God is a divine being; what could possibly happen to them?

But ever since he had come into contact with Daoist Fan Wu, he had come to realize that even gods could encounter accidents, and even they could die!

Xing Fengzi said, "Either this city never had a City Lord God to begin with, or... something indeed happened."

"These days, even being a god isn’t peaceful!" Yun Jiuqing murmured to herself, "Better to be a carefree Mortal Cultivator."

At least as a Mortal Cultivator, one encounters ordinary evil spirits or some strange entities.

But as a god, one faces Evil Gods, Demons and Devils.

Perhaps even Heavenly Demons from beyond this realm!

Just the thought is terrifying!

...

Zhu Yao City Daoist Officers.

"Why haven’t those people I sent out returned by now?" paced the Governor of Zhu Yao City within the Daoist Officers’ headquarters, his agitation so intense that his palms were sweating profusely.
