If it had been someone else who had said these words, Xie Jiu would have pondered a bit more... wondering how much truth was there in the words spoken by the person before him?

Then he would think about the purpose behind the person’s words, what exactly were they aiming for?

But when such words came from Daoist Priest Fan’s mouth,

Xie Jiu couldn’t be bothered to ponder these matters any longer.

Because he knew that Daoist Priest Fan was telling the truth!

How could a cultivator of Daoist Priest Fan’s level possibly spin tales about such matters?

He just needed to trust Daoist Priest Fan unconditionally!

"This is already the third encounter with such an event," said Xie Jiu with a somber tone mixed with a trace of bitterness, "The first time was on the way to Bai He County when we encountered a strange creature like a dark shadow that wanted to snatch the Destiny Coffin."

"The second time was in the night in Bai He County when we met a male and a female, a Ghost Groom and a Ghost Bride. Their aim was also to snatch the Destiny Coffin."

"The third time was here in Qiping County. I thought we could safely transport the Destiny Coffin back to Nanjun Prefecture Government from Bai He County, but unexpectedly..."

Xie Jiu clenched his teeth and said, "The so-called Great Revered One is so relentless in the pursuit!"

"Even though I have changed the route,"

"He still can find the location of the Destiny Coffin!"

Daoist Priest Fan glanced at Xie Jiu and said, "Knowing that the Great Revered One wants to snatch the Destiny Coffin, why not assign more people to protect it?"

With a helpless bitterness, Xie Jiu responded, "Daoist Priest Fan may not be aware that after the location of the Destiny Coffin was leaked twice in a row, the imperial inspectors concluded that there’s very likely an insider amongst our group... constantly reporting the exact location of the Destiny Coffin to the Great Revered One."

"Fearing that this event might recur, they decided that I should continue to transport the Destiny Coffin alone and they instructed me to plan a new route to Nanjun."

"Moreover, this new route could not be disclosed to anyone, not even to those high officials. They doubted that even among themselves, there might be someone not quite ordinary."

At this point, Xie Jiu continued, "So I went on to escort the Destiny Coffin alone. Even this time, I didn’t hire any escort agency."

"When I first arrived in Qiping County, I was misunderstood by the Chief Flag Officer and nearly got thrown into Qiping County’s imperial prison."

"Luckily, the misunderstanding was cleared up."

"But I never anticipated that, despite having misled everyone else, how could the location of the Destiny Coffin still be leaked?"

By this time, Xie Jiu was baffled.

Keep in mind, he had been in Qiping County for just over a day.

Logically, it was unlikely that an issue had developed with Qiping County’s imperial inspectors.

Even if Qiping County’s imperial inspectors were the insiders, reporting to the enemy,

they couldn’t possibly have attracted the Great Revered One in such a short span of time.

What could have gone wrong in the process...

Xie Jiu couldn’t figure it out.

He was very troubled.

After listening to Xie Jiu’s explanation, Daoist Priest Fan was pensive... According to him, it wasn’t that there was an insider amongst the imperial inspectors, but it could be the unique peculiarity of the Destiny Coffin itself that made its location known to the Great Revered One.

Of course, regardless of which of these two reasons it might be,

it wasn’t of great significance to Daoist Priest Fan.

The followers of the Great Revered One were of even greater importance to him.

After all...

That represented Free Attribute Points!

The subordinates and followers of the Great Revered One, though not as numerous as those of the Witch Immortal,

stood out for better quality,

stronger individual combat power,

and more Attribute Points dropped.

That was enough!

Based on what you’ve said, Little Banner Officer Xie, it indeed seems very odd," said the Chief Flag Officer of Qiping County with a deep frown, "If this Great Revered One you talk of is truly as troublesome as you say... relying on your own power, it might be difficult to transport the Destiny Coffin safely to the Prefecture."

"If the location of the Destiny Coffin hadn’t been exposed, it would still be somewhat manageable, but now that its location is known, those coveting the Destiny Coffin..."

"I fear they will swarm to it like moths to a flame!"

He paused and then continued, "Why not do this instead, I’ll personally take a few Little Banner Officers and join you right now to transport the Destiny Coffin to the Nanjun Prefecture Government!"

"And strive to deliver the Destiny Coffin to the Nanjun Prefecture Government before dawn of the next day!"

Just as Xie Jiu was about to say something,

a voice interjected, and that voice was none other than Daoist Priest Fan’s, "There’s no need for that much trouble, just place the Destiny Coffin openly at Qiping County’s imperial inspector’s residence."

The Chief Flag Officer of Qiping County was taken aback, "But... if this Great Revered One you speak of is as formidable as you say, how can Qiping County’s imperial inspectors have the strength to stop Him?!"

"I believe that the longer the Destiny Coffin stays in Qiping County, the greater the risk will be."

"Rather than this, it’s better to do the opposite! Those evil paths would most certainly assume we would try to contact the imperial inspectors of the Prefecture, to have the Prefecture side send out strong individuals to escort the Destiny Coffin."

"Instead, we take the initiative to transport the Destiny Coffin to the Prefecture with all haste, catching them off guard!"

Suddenly, Xie Jiu spoke, "Chief Flag Officer, I think Daoist Priest Fan is right—there’s no need for so much trouble."
