Chapter 802: Chapter 224: Great Yan Imperial City! Patriarch Liu: ??? (10,000 words)_2

"Is that really a fugitive?" one person muttered. "Can an Imperial Court fugitive be so formidable? Are you sure he’s not a celestial being who has descended from the heavens?"

"If he truly is a fugitive, does the Great Yan Dynasty really want to capture someone like him?"

One question after another was thrown out, but not a single person had an answer.

Because no one knew whether the Qiu Long Temple’s Fan Wu, who had slain demons and devils, was even human.

What if he really was a celestial being who had descended to earth? Even if he wasn’t a celestial being who had descended, what if he was a reincarnation of one?

As for whether the Imperial Court should capture such a person...

Honestly, they would definitely prefer not to. After all, trying to capture such a person would be nothing short of ludicrous.

But those damn court officials dared to issue a warrant for the arrest of such a person.

Who knows if they’ll have another fit of stupidity?

"Did you guys hear about what happened at the City God Temple last night? I heard that the demon was actually the City Lord God inside the temple!" whispered an informant among the crowd.

"What?!" The nearby people’s eyes widened in shock. "The City Lord God? Are you out of your mind?!"

"Yeah! How could the City Lord God possibly be a demon? That’s the City Lord God we’re talking about! I think you’re the one whose wits have been bewitched by a demon. Were you so scared by last night’s demon that you haven’t come to your senses yet?"

"Pah! Scared of what? I’ve got a relative who is a cultivator, and he was inside the City God Temple last night! He personally witnessed that demon emerging from the statue of the City Lord God!"

With that said... The man added, "If you don’t believe me, you can ask any cultivators you know, especially those who have been inside the City God Temple!"

"Or you could also go to the City God Temple and see for yourself. Check out how the Taoist priests there are completely losing their minds."

"Once you go and see for yourself, you’ll know whether I’m right or not."

"..."

Hearing this guy speak so confidently, and without fear that others might actually go to the City God Temple to check, the surrounding folks started to hesitate. Could what this guy was saying be true?

Was the demon from last night really the City Lord God?!

No!

If that were true, it would just mean that the demon had impersonated the City Lord God, and they had been deceived by the demon from the very beginning!

Driven by a natural reverence and sincerity toward celestial beings, their speculation, their self-comfort... turned out to be correct!

It was like stumbling upon the right answer by mere blind luck.

"Senior Brother... so the people we saw on the way to Zhu Yao City, they were the fugitives wanted by the Imperial Court!" A group of Taoist priests exchanged looks; they were all from the Xian Gu Temple.

They had encountered Fan Wu on the road and had enthusiastically invited him and his party to join them on their way to Zhu Yao City.

At first, they had no idea that Fan Wu was a fugitive!

Even when the demons approached... they were not too clear about it because it had never crossed their minds.

Until... they saw Fan Wu in the City God Temple, then they suddenly came to the realization!

Immediately after, they found out that Daoist Priest Fan Wu, with his own power, had slain a demon.

A Taoist priest from Xian Gu Temple took a deep breath and scolded his junior: "What fugitive? Call him Daoist Priest Fan Wu! Or Daoist Fan!"

His face was filled with admiration. "The reason Daoist Priest Fan is wanted by the Imperial Court must be some other misunderstanding, surely the Imperial Court has made some kind of mistake."

"Such a mighty Immortal Master Daoist is undoubtedly a respected figure in our Daoist Sect! Even if he belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty, since when do Daoist Sects divide along dynastic lines?"

The youngest junior scratched his head. "So you’re saying Daoist Fan is a good person?"

"Of course he’s a good person!" said the priest, feeling moved. "We... were fortunate to have briefly encountered Daoist Fan and exchanged a few words with him. Such an experience is honor enough to last us a lifetime."

After speaking, he expressed some regret: "It’s a pity that during the time we travelled with Daoist Fan, we didn’t seek his guidance."

If they could have received guidance from such a formidable Immortal Master, wouldn’t their progression have been leaps and bounds?

In the eyes of these Taoist priests, Fan Wu was no different from a celestial being!

He was practically a Terrestrial Immortal!!

...

Fan Wu didn’t particularly care about what these people were discussing about him... As time passed, in the blink of an eye, it was already the third day.

Fan Wu and his companions... had already left Zhu Yao City of the Great Yan Dynasty, and had even departed Zhu Yao Province.

They had truly entered the territory of the Great Yan Imperial City!

The Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty was extremely bustling.

After passing through walls even taller and more imposing than those of Zhu Yao City, they entered the inner area of the Great Yan Imperial City.

Looking around, it was crowded with throngs of people.

In other places of the Great Yan Dynasty, it was common to see merchants not from the local area, but within the Imperial City, many merchants from other dynasties could be found.
