Chapter 185: Chapter 116: Followers of The Great Revered One Should Be No Worse Than Followers of the Witch Immortal, Right? (Please Subscribe)_3

Each member of the Imperial Observatory was on high alert, filled with a tension that was akin to the calm before a storm.

The Destiny Coffin lay quietly within the Imperial Observatory’s camp.

It was wrapped in talisman after talisman, sealed tightly, completely immobilized.

The Chief Flag Officer of Qiping County, Xie Jiu...

A group of people was gathered around the Destiny Coffin.

Their purpose was naturally to guard the Destiny Coffin and prevent it from falling into the hands of evildoers.

"Amitabha, Donor Yun, why do you keep staring at that coffin?" Monk Zhi Kong noticed Yun Jiuqing beside him, frequently glancing towards the Destiny Coffin.

He couldn’t help but ask.

In this situation where everyone was extremely tense, his sudden question...

Caused all eyes present to focus on both him and Yun Jiuqing.

Of course...

Except for Fan Wu.

Fan Wu sat in a large chair with a relaxed demeanor, rather than showing any signs of tension it seemed he was more preparing to receive guests than to meet an enemy.

Feeling the gaze of so many, Yun Jiuqing was slightly nervous. She whispered back, "I just have this feeling that I’ve seen this thing before, as if I’ve encountered it somewhere."

"Hmm? Has the young master seen this coffin before?" Before Monk Zhi Kong could respond, Qiping County’s Chief Flag Officer furrowed his brows and asked.

His tone was subtly off, and the look he gave Yun Jiuqing carried a trace of unspoken suspicion.

Yun Jiuqing hadn’t noticed the suspicion directed at her.

When she heard someone addressing her, she naturally responded frankly, "I have a vague impression, it seems like I’ve seen it in my home."

"Home?" The Chief Flag Officer was taken aback, "Where does this young master reside?"

"In the Prefecture of Nanjun," Yun Jiuqing replied.

The Chief Flag Officer stroked his beard, "This coffin is a special item of the Imperial Observatory, which has always been well-guarded by them. Technically speaking... even the most widely traveled cultivators are not necessarily able to recognize it."

Yun Jiuqing realized what was happening. Her eyes widened with an expression of shock and disbelief, "You’re not suspecting that I have some sort of collusion with The Great Revered One, are you?"

The Chief Flag Officer shrugged, "You are a friend of Daoist Priest Fan. By all rights, I should trust you."

Yun Jiuqing said, "You should indeed trust me. I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, have nothing to do with that Great Revered One! If I had even the slightest connection with such a rural Evil God... you wouldn’t even need the Imperial Observatory to come and arrest me, my father would throw me in jail himself!"

Just as Yun Jiuqing wanted to say more.

Suddenly, the faces of both the Chief Flag Officer and Monk Zhi Kong beside her...

Altered their expressions at the same time.

The Chief Flag Officer and Monk Zhi Kong both issued a cautious alarm in unison, "Something is off!!!"

Instantly!

All members of the Imperial Observatory drew various magic artifacts, or clutched an assortment of talismans.

Their vigilance was heightened to the utmost degree!

With a grave tone, the Chief Flag Officer said, "This is not good... I have a bad premonition all of a sudden, the atmosphere feels wrong!"

Clutching the Nine Rings Broadsword in his hands, Monk Zhi Kong replied, "Amitabha, this monk feels the same way."

In a moment of haziness.

A faint, strange odor seemed to drift in the air, while distant and odd sounds could be faintly heard.

"Chief, on my side, I seem to sense some movement!"

"Chief, over here, I also hear something!"

"Chief Flag Officer, there’s another one here!"

One after another, the members of the Qingtian officials were reporting the situation around them to the Chief Flag Officer. Their tones were filled with intense nervousness and vigilance.

"Why is there movement everywhere?" The Qingtian officials’ Chief Flag Officer looked displeased. "Surely so many evildoers couldn’t have infiltrated Qiping County?"

That so many evil paths had seeped into Qiping County without him noticing first.

Although it couldn’t be denied that these evildoers were cunning, it also spoke of negligence on his part.

This was something the Chief Flag Officer found hard to accept.

"Cackle hahaha! This is the first time I’m an enemy to the Imperial Court’s Qingtian officials!" Suddenly, an abrupt and jarring laughter came from somewhere, instantly drawing the attention of everyone present, excluding Fan Wu.

"From above!" Xie Jiu exclaimed in surprise. "No, that’s not right, there was someone guarding the roof, could it be..."

Before he could finish speaking, the roof above them burst open with three large holes.

The bodies of three Qingtian officials.

Fell straight down!

The reactions from those below were swift, and they immediately caught the three men.

As Xie Jiu embraced a falling body of a Qingtian official, he checked the man’s pulse, his expression grim as he spoke, "His life isn’t in danger. It seems like he’s been poisoned with some returning poison and has fainted."

Everyone looked up, only to see a dark figure standing on the edge of the broken roof.

The figure carried a large bag on his back covered with talismanic inscriptions, clearly a Magic Artifact.

"Cackle haha! You’ve discovered it too late!" The evildoer suddenly pulled the bag open, the mouth of the bag facing downward.

A large amount of colorless and odorless poison gas surged towards those below.

In less than two breaths.

Everyone began to feel...

Their footsteps growing unsteady!

"No good! Hold your breath!" The Chief Flag Officer shouted loudly, then formed a hand seal with his hands, and a talisman floated in front of him. Chanting unceasingly, he said, "Divine Path Hundred Kills, dispel evil and drive out devils... as urgent as a command!"

In the blink of an eye, the talisman tore through the air, shooting upwards.

The evildoer above reacted quickly, dodging the Chief Flag Officer’s attack with an exaggerated sway of his body.

Then, he caught the talisman in his hand.

The evildoer’s mocking laughter increased, "If it were the Qingtian officials from the prefectural city, I might have some reservations... but a Qingtian official from a small county is hardly worth mentioning!"

"Take it back!"

With a casual flick of his wrist, the evildoer sent the talisman flying back at an even faster pace, forcing the Chief Flag Officer to hastily dodge to the side.

Boom!

A flash of lightning struck the spot where the Chief Flag Officer had just been standing, leaving a large scorched area on the ground.

The Chief Flag Officer’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

He exclaimed, "This evildoer is highly skilled!"

"Gentlemen, little... Hm?!"

Before the Chief Flag Officer could finish speaking, he noticed someone who had come up behind him without making any sound.

It was...

It was Daoist Priest Fan?
