"As for why to choose the middle of the night? All of us here are cultivators; we are not afraid of ghosts or monsters!"

"Oh, right!"

Yun Jiuqing suddenly realized something. She pointed at Xie Jiu and said, "We also have a member of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau here!"

Her urgent explanation was not because she feared these intimidating Nanjun Prefecture Iron Cavalry, but because she worried about potential cultural misunderstandings that might occur during the process.

And then... if Daoist Priest Fan were to take action, hiss!!!

All of the Iron Cavalry added together would probably not suffice for Daoist Priest Fan to cut down alone!

Yes! She must strangle the misunderstandings in the cradle!

"Yinghe Prefecture? Qiping County? Imperial Astronomical Bureau?" The lead Iron Cavalry officer scrutinized the group closely. He spotted the uniform of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau on Xie Jiu.

At that moment, Xie Jiu, being very tactful, took out a token and said, "Little Banner Officer Xie Jiu of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, I am transporting a special item back to the Prefecture."

The Iron Cavalry officer nodded, then his gaze shifted to Fan Wu, who from beginning to end... had not given the Iron Cavalry leader a straight look.

When the Iron Cavalry leader’s gaze landed on Fan Wu, Fan Wu seemed to sense something and turned to lock eyes with the other.

In that instant.

The Iron Cavalry leader felt as if his breath had stopped for a moment!

At that moment, it was as if he saw not a person, but a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

That chilling fear seemed to penetrate straight into the marrow!

It infiltrated the soul!

As if possessed by a ghost or haunted by a deity, the Iron Cavalry leader quickly turned towards the direction of the city gates and shouted loudly, "Let them pass! Let them pass!!"

He dared not lock eyes with Fan Wu again.

Not until Fan Wu and others passed through the city gate and entered the Prefecture, their figures gradually disappearing from view.

Only then did the Iron Cavalry leader breathe a sigh of relief.

The entire person felt unburdened!

"Boss, what happened to you just now?" a curious Iron Cavalry member asked, "Don’t we need to continue checking them? I always felt those people were strange. Even if they were cultivators, they wouldn’t dare to roam around outside in the middle of the night, right?"

"And about transporting some special item, why is there only one from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau? If it’s a valuable item, shouldn’t they dispatch several from the Bureau to escort it?"

The Iron Cavalry leader took a deep breath and said, "Because I just felt that if we didn’t let them pass quickly... we would all end up with no place to bury our bodies!"

Amidst the expressions of shock from his subordinates, he touched the sweat in his palm.

He explained in a low voice, "That tall guy didn’t seem like a person at all. When I locked eyes with him just now, it felt as though I had returned to the battlefield."

"This person is extremely terrifying, and perhaps all of the Iron Cavalry on night patrol together would not be a match for him alone."

"Ah?" his subordinate exclaimed in shock, "Tonight, there are ten Iron Cavalry patrol teams, with more than twenty people in a single team, that’s over two hundred people in total!"

The Iron Cavalry leader spoke, "Perhaps, to that man, more than two hundred people are no different from two infants. I crawled out of a mountain of corpses and seas of blood; could I be deceiving you?"

"This is all my experience! It’s experience bought with my life!!"

"..."

...

After entering the Prefecture.

After parting with Fan Wu and others, Xie Jiu didn’t stop for a moment and began transporting the Destiny Coffin toward the location of the Prefecture’s Imperial Astronomical Bureau... He no longer wanted to encounter any mishaps.

Even if the Destiny Coffin continued to attract troubles, as long as it was not in his hands, then it wasn’t his problem.

That would be something for the other higher-ups of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau...

to worry about.

"Now that it’s deep into the night, I estimate there won’t be any inns open for business... Hanling Temple is relatively close to the city gates of Nanjun Prefecture, how about Daoist Priest Fan and Donor Yun take a rest there for the night?" Monk Zhi Kong offered an invitation.

Yun Jiuqing thought for a moment and nodded, "It is indeed quite late now, my home is quite far from here, and walking would probably take two to three hours."

Fan Wu said, "Agreed."

So, two people and a cow followed Monk Zhi Kong to Hanling Temple of Nanjun Prefecture.

It was a temple that looked very solemn.

The temple occupied a not insignificant amount of land.

Without even entering, one could vaguely smell the scent of incense burning. Considering that it was the middle of the night, this alone spoke volumes about how thriving the temple was.

The entrance to Hanling Temple was guarded by monks, but the gatekeeper monks did not stop Fan Wu and the others.

They were like fixtures.

"Huh?" After entering Hanling Temple, they immediately encountered a bald Big Monk, who was startled upon seeing Fan Wu and the rest.

Especially upon seeing Monk Zhi Kong, he wore a face full of surprise, "Monk Zhi Kong?!"

Monk Zhi Kong brought his hands together in a gesture of respect and responded, "Amitabha, Monk Zhi Kong greets Brother Monk Zhi Shan."

Monk Zhi Kong explained, "After returning from my journey around the world, I encountered these two donors. This is Daoist Priest Fan from Qiu Long Temple, and this is Donor Yun. As it is now deep into the night, I intend to have them temporarily stay in the temple’s guest rooms."

Hearing this, his Brother Monk Zhi Shan showed an expression of sudden realization, "I see, Brother Monk Zhi Shan greets the two donors. And... and this Mr. Cow donor as well."
