Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 182 - 115: Is the Evil Path related to The Great Revered One? The Misfortune of Xie Jiu 1! (Subscription Requested)_3
Now...
all we can do is wait for the others to arrive.
...
After a while.
The other officials from the Qintian Division finally arrived, albeit late. The reason they knew something had happened here was that someone had escaped from the guesthouse to report to the authorities, who had then reported non-stop to the Qintian Division.
As soon as the Qintian Division’s people arrived at the scene, they immediately sealed off the guesthouse completely, with some guarding the back door and others the windows. Some even leaped onto the roof to prevent anyone from escaping from above.
Then.
A Chief Flag Officer from the Qintian Division, leading several Little Banner Officers, burst into the guesthouse. They were among the strongest members from the Qiping County Qintian Division sub-division.
As the Chief Flag Officer stepped inside the guesthouse, he smelled a faint scent of blood.
And he also saw the utter disarray inside the guesthouse.
Especially the large hole in the ground, which made his eyelids twitch.
What kind of power was required to smash such a big hole into the ground?
Then, he noticed Fan Wu, who was busy dealing with his food.
In the vast guesthouse, Fan Wu was the only one who had the leisure to be eating, the only one in the mood to eat.
He stood out glaringly amidst the other diners.
Very eye-catching.
Immediately afterwards, the Chief Flag Officer noticed a familiar face—Fang Kezhi!
He saw the injuries on Fang Kezhi.
Just as he was about to say something...
Suddenly.
A Little Banner Officer beside him exclaimed in a voice that Fan Wu found very familiar, filled with utter astonishment, "Daoist Priest Fan... How come you’re in Qiping County!?"
"Hm?"
The Chief Flag Officer of Qiping County furrowed his brow.
He turned towards the Little Banner Officer and couldn’t help but ask, "Xie Xiaoqi, what Daoist Priest Fan are you talking about?!"
The one called "Xie Xiaoqi" replied in a tone still full of disbelief, "Chief, the Daoist Priest Fan I’m talking about is this Taoist Priest right here!"
At this moment, Fan Wu slowly turned his head and then saw a face, very familiar to him.
—Xie Jiu!!!
The Chief Flag Officer of Qiping County looked completely perplexed; he knew nothing about any Daoist Priest Fan.
All he could do was ask, "Xie Xiaoqi, could it be that you’re acquainted with this... this Taoist Priest?"
Xie Jiu nodded and replied, "Indeed, we are acquainted!!"
More than acquainted?
He once fought side by side with Daoist Priest Fan! While it’s true that for most of that so-called fighting side by side, he spent the time watching Daoist Priest Fan wildly slaughter, it still counted as fighting alongside each other.
Xie Jiu began to introduce, "This is Daoist Priest Fan from Qiulong Temple in Qiulong County, Yinghe Prefecture. Daoist Priest Fan’s attainment in the Tao is extremely high; many formidable and strange beings are no match for him."
"Even the Chief Flag Officer of Bai He County, Shen Ji Yue, holds Daoist Priest Fan in high regard and admiration. When Daoist Priest Fan was in Bai He County, he helped us protect the Destiny Coffin."
"Ensuring that the Destiny Coffin did not fall into the hands of strange beings."
At the end, Xie Jiu also added, "Daoist Priest Fan even single-handedly battled an incarnation of an Evil God named ’The Great Revered One,’ a countryside deity. In front of Daoist Priest Fan..."
"That incarnation was so weak it couldn’t even withstand a single exchange!"
The words of Xie Jiu sounded like he was extolling someone, but the seriousness of his tone made it seem like what he was saying was no lie.
Could this robust and imposing Taoist Priest really be such a formidable figure?
The Chief Flag Officer of Qiping County had his doubts.
At this time.
Fang Kezhi spoke with a complex expression, "Chief, I believe that nine out of ten things Xie Xiaoqi said are true. Just now, two sinister figures tried to kill me."
"My skills are inferior and my cultivation is weak, no match for those two wicked individuals... If not for Daoist Priest Fan’s intervention, I might already be a corpse."
"And this Daoist Priest Fan... he really is powerful in a way that is beyond description!"
The words of Fang Kezhi came without the slightest hint of flattery.
Every word he said was the absolute truth.
Then...
He recounted the series of events inside the guesthouse from beginning to end, without omitting any detail. Even the part where he was initially discourteous to Daoist Priest Fan, he honestly admitted it.
Listening to this left the members of the Qintian Division dumbstruck!
Even the Chief Flag Officer was somewhat dumbfounded.
It was one thing for an outsider like Xie Jiu to sing the praises of this so-called Daoist Priest Fan, but for you, a member of the Qiping County Qintian Division, to do the same... And to say that Daoist Priest Fan punched a wicked individual into meat paste? That he stomped another into mincemeat?
Is this...
Really the scene of a Taoist Priest’s battle?
Why does it sound more like a Demon or Devil with incredible physical strength wreaking havoc in Qiping County?
But if two people say so, it doesn’t seem like flattery.
It seems more believable.
Hiss!
That’s even more terrifying!
The Chief Flag Officer of Qiping County glanced at Fan Wu’s muscular forearms, then at the exaggeratedly large hole in the ground of the guesthouse.
He found himself in deep thought.
He took a deep breath and realized that one of his subordinates and an outsider from the Qintian Division wouldn’t possibly join forces to play such an unnecessary joke on him.
So.
He gave Fan Wu a cupped-fist salute and said, "I am the Chief Flag Officer of the Qintian Division sub-division in Qiping County. I am grateful to Daoist Priest Fan for saving our colleague and for removing the wicked from Qiping County on behalf of its citizens."
Fan Wu stuffed the last piece of meat into his mouth, then after a final swig of fragrant wine, he returned the smile with a beaming grin, "When familiar prey comes knocking, how can I not act?"
"Familiar prey?" the Chief Flag Officer was taken aback. He was a bit confused by the meaning of Fan Wu’s statement.
Fan Wu elaborated, "Those two wicked individuals that I dealt with were related to ’The Great Revered One’."
"The Great Revered One?!"
Before the Chief Flag Officer could say more, Xie Jiu’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he spoke first, "Daoist Priest Fan, are you referring to that countryside Evil God? The two who targeted the Destiny Coffin are connected to The Great Revered One?!"
"Yes!" Fan Wu wiped the grease from his lips, his face showing a hint of excitement, his smile turning sinister, "It seems... Qiping County won’t have peace these next few days."
Xie Jiu’s heart sank immediately.
