Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 85 - 83: The Arrival of the Yinghe Prefecture’s Imperial Astronomers! Another Enemy Attracted by the Great Revered One! (Seeking First Subscription)_1
"Is it... over?" Yin Envoy Huang San was somewhat dazed, and for a moment, he seemed unable to react.
Just now, he had only seen a streak of white light flash by, and then that enormous flame creature turned into specks of ash and directly dissipated.
And then that muscular Taoist Priest simply stood there quietly.
He could tell that the Taoist Priest had no injuries whatsoever on his body.
That dragon-and-tiger-like aura... indicated that the Taoist Priest was in excellent condition.
The powerful entity had not troubled him much.
Hiss!!
How terrifying was this?
Looking across the vast Yinghe Prefecture, there probably wasn’t a single living person who could be his opponent, right? Even those from the Imperial Court’s Qin Tian Division probably weren’t a match for this Taoist Priest!
Let alone the Qin Tian Division, not even any Yin Envoy from the temples of the City God of Yinghe Prefecture could compare to him!
Perhaps...
Perhaps only the City Lord God himself descending personally could suppress him?
At that thought.
Huang San felt a small sense of relief in his heart.
Because... such a powerful existence was not some strange creature, nor was it a demon or devil.
The counterpart...
Was a Taoist!
Since it was a Taoist, then he should be considered one of the righteous, right?
Uh!
Probably?
Feeling that aura radiating from Fan Wu, which seemed even more fearsome than a mass murderer, Huang San suddenly wasn’t quite sure... whether the strange creature was vicious or this terrifying Taoist Priest was even more vicious.
"Taoist... Taoist Priest?" Huang San, this Yin Envoy, normally issued a spine-chilling and hoarse voice, but at this moment, it somewhat returned to normal.
Clearly, it was him constricting his throat, trying hard to make his tone sound friendlier.
When had he, a grand Yin Envoy of Yinghe Prefecture, ever been so humble?
The only being that could render him so humble was the City Lord God.
But now, perhaps one more had to be added to the list.
Huang San meekly said, "Taoist Priest, your sword scabbard is here, and it has not suffered the slightest damage. I’ve protected it very well, not even allowing a speck of dust to settle on it."
Having said that.
He even deliberately held the Demon-slaying Sword’s scabbard a bit higher, trying to make it clearer for Fan Wu to see.
Then.
Huang San was horrified to see a flake of ash land on the scabbard and, in alarm, quickly blew it away with Yin Energy.
Before he could even catch his breath,
Next... he saw a figure appear before him out of nowhere.
It was the Taoist Priest!
"Taoist Priest, here... here you go!" Huang San felt so abject he almost wanted to slap himself in the face.
As a Yin Envoy of Yinghe Prefecture, he wasn’t just representing himself; he was representing the face of Yinghe Prefecture’s City God temple.
Being so low in front of a Taoist Priest, he was virtually causing the City Lord God to lose face.
But he couldn’t help it, he truly couldn’t control his own mouth; nor could he suppress the instinct to survive within him.
Fan Wu received the scabbard.
He sheathed his sword.
Then, he ignored the Yin Envoy, and casually shifted his gaze to the side.
Because he saw Chong Hengzi approaching.
Chong Hengzi, too, was astonished by Fan Wu’s strength and by the terror of the flame creature from just before... but none of that could hide the shame and embarrassment on his face.
Like Yin Envoy Huang San, he felt that he had lost face tonight.
However.
The nature of their shame was different.
Chong Hengzi felt ashamed that as the Tianfu Mountain Master, he was so weak he didn’t even qualify to fight the strange creature and had boasted grandly about avenging his junior and restoring the reputation of Tianfu Mountain.
Thinking back on his words now.
Chong Hengzi felt even more embarrassed and ashamed, wishing he could crawl into a hole in the ground.
He wasn’t cowardly in fact.
If he were cowardly, he wouldn’t have come here in the first place.
He was weak.
So weak he felt that even if he got involved, he might only drag others down. Perhaps even his old bones would end up burdening Daoist Priest Fan.
That would be a sin!
"Daoist Priest Fan." Logically, Chong Hengzi outranked Fan Wu by much, and he had already lowered his standing by addressing Fan Wu as a fellow Daoist.
Now, by addressing Fan Wu as "Taoist Priest," he lowered his status even further.
Even though he was the one with the graying hair, he seemed like the junior.
There was no choice.
Such was the disparity in strength.
Chong Hengzi found it strange to address a younger person as Taoist Priest, but there seemed to be no more suitable title.
He composed his thoughts and continued, "May I ask if the strange creature extinguished by Daoist Priest Fan just now was what Daoist Priest Fan mentioned earlier, ’The Great Revered One’?"
Fan Wu glanced at him and replied, "The real Great Revered One wouldn’t be so frail; it was just one of His underlings. However, indeed... He did come to this place moments ago. Employing a secret technique, He descended into the body of the strange creature."
"What you saw just now on the face of that flame creature was indeed the true visage of the Great Revered One Himself."
Chong Hengzi was even more embarrassed; the fire then had been too intense, and the burning air was distorting and rippling.
He couldn’t see clearly what was inside...
And he couldn’t see the face very clearly either.
But he recalled very clearly the terrifying specter of an evil ghost that Fan Wu had conjured behind him.
Now, remembering that image still sent shivers down his spine, and he couldn’t help but wonder what kind of evil ghost that could have been?
