The Chief Flag Officer looked at Xie Jiu with surprise.

Why did he feel... that this Xie Xiaoqi had too much trust in Daoist Priest Fan?

The Chief Flag Officer said, "Keeping the Destiny Coffin in Qiping County for one more night isn’t impossible. The question is, who has the power to protect it? Although Qiping County is not small and borders Nanjun."

"But the Imperial Observatory of Qiping County... compared to Nanjun’s Imperial Observatory, the difference in strength is not slight!"

"Me!" Fan Wu said with a big grin. "Why not let me take action and watch over that broken coffin?"

Broken... broken coffin?!

The corners of the Qiping County’s Chief Flag Officer’s mouth twitched; he admitted Fan Wu might be very strong, after all, two Imperial Observatories had praised this muscle-bound Daoist Priest, indicating he did possess some skills.

But to rely on the power of one person to deal with that trouble, which sounds quite tricky and likely involves a significant number of evil followers...

Is that really okay?

And to refer to something special like the Destiny Coffin as a broken coffin?

Ah, this...

Xie Jiu spotted the Chief Flag Officer’s hesitation and said to him, "Chief Flag Officer, I am absolutely certain of Daoist Priest Fan’s capabilities; he would definitely not make empty boasts."

One could hear the slight excitement in Xie Jiu’s voice, "With Daoist Priest Fan volunteering... those fellows who worship The Great Revered One actually won’t be much trouble!"

The Chief Flag Officer: "..."

Seeing Xie Jiu’s insistence and the repeated affirmations of Fan Wu’s strength, after a moment of thought, he gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, let the Destiny Coffin stay in Qiping County for one more night."

"At the same time... I will order someone to send a message by carrier pigeon, to report the news of the Destiny Coffin’s transport to the Prefecture, to the Imperial Observatory officials there. If nothing unusual occurs tonight, the people from the Prefecture should arrive by tomorrow."

"This way, we would be prepared on both fronts."

Xie Jiu nodded, "The Chief Flag Officer has indeed considered everything more thoroughly."

Though he felt such precautions were unnecessary.

After all, Xie Jiu trusted Fan Wu completely.

He was very clear...

The kind of power Daoist Priest Fan possessed couldn’t be described with words.

It was a power that could shake people’s hearts with a mere gesture!

...

Time.

Slipped away.

In the blink of an eye, evening arrived.

Yun Jiuqing had not expected to encounter such a significant event as soon as she returned to the inn, only to find herself, in a daze, following Daoist Priest Fan to the Imperial Observatory headquarters in Qiping County.

Monk Zhi Kong was the same.

"The Great Revered One..." Yun Jiuqing murmured, "Isn’t that the same cunning rural Evil God from Yinghe Prefecture City who wished to disrupt the City Lord God’s birthday?"

Yun Jiuqing swallowed nervously, as her expression seemed somewhat tense; after all, a rural Evil God that dared to disturb the City Lord God’s birthday wasn’t a simple matter.

It was not something that could be compared to the ghosts and strange beings they had encountered before!

How could she not be anxious?

Monk Zhi Kong chanted an invocation, "Amitabha, Donor Yun, there’s no need to worry too much. In my view, the one who comes is very likely not The Great Revered One themself. An Evil God like that, I believe, would not dare to reveal its true form so close to Nanjun Prefecture Government."

"Because Hanling Temple is in the midst of Nanjun Prefecture Government, once the golden statue of the Buddha in Hanling Temple senses the presence of such a rural Evil God, they will strike and suppress it on the spot!"

"Thus... the visitors are most likely believers of The Great Revered One."

Yun Jiuqing retorted, "Those believers of a rural Evil God are also quite formidable, haven’t you monks forgotten the believers of the Witch Immortal we previously encountered? Just one believer of the Witch Immortal coming here is troublesome enough for both of us."

"Presumably... the believers of The Great Revered One shouldn’t be any less dangerous than those of the Witch Immortal, right?!"

At this, Monk Zhi Kong found himself at a loss for words.

Because Yun Jiuqing was not wrong—their own abilities were, in fact, not strong.

In this Imperial Observatory of Qiping County, their abilities could indeed hold some sway.

But that was only just within such a county town, barely enough to count for something.

If they expanded the scope a bit, their strength... would not match up to too many others.

"Amitabha, there’s also Daoist Priest Fan present." Monk Zhi Kong thought for a moment, his brows furrowed, "With Daoist Priest Fan’s cultivation and his chivalrous heart... he would not take action without due consideration."

Monk Zhi Kong continued, "Amitabha, I choose to trust in Daoist Priest Fan."

Yun Jiuqing widened her eyes, "Why do you make it sound as if I don’t trust Daoist Priest Fan?"

"I did not say that," said Monk Zhi Kong earnestly.

Yun Jiuqing grumbled under her breath.

She could not win an argument with the monk.

Since their relationship with Fan Wu was not simple, the Imperial Observers of Qiping County allowed them inside; after all, two more helpers were better than two less.

Although Yun Jiuqing’s cultivation seemed to be about the same as the ordinary Imperial Observers of Qiping County, the Monk Zhi Kong beside her was definitely of a standard comparable to the Chief Flag Officer!

The sky.

Quickly darkened.

All members of the Imperial Observatory of Qiping County were very vigilant and tense, knowing that tonight danger may well approach, possibly a danger they might not be able to handle.
