Chapter 253: Chapter 129: The Complicated Swindler Master! The Witch Immortal Reappears! (10,000-word Mega Chapter, Seeking Subscriptions)_6

How terrifying?

How exaggerated?

The unkempt Taoist in the prison cell, enveloped in a dense killing intent, ceased his frantic shouting in an instant.

He was like a duck whose neck had been squeezed.

The screams of terror came to a sudden halt.

The look of fear on his face, if possible, grew even more intense.

So much so that he trembled all over.

Even his teeth were chattering.

Si Ma Hundred Households had thought Daoist Priest Fan was displeased with the man’s yelling, and with a dark expression, he slapped his palm on the cell’s black iron door. The loud noise from the contact between his palm and the iron startled the Taoist inside once again.

Si Ma Hundred Households said sternly, "You, what nonsense are you shouting about again? Didn’t a night’s rest give you enough time to come to your senses?"

His voice snapped the Taoist inside back to reality.

The Taoist exclaimed, "My lord! Qintian Division officer! Qintian Division Hundred Households officer! Run! The person beside you is not human! He... he’s not human! He’s a sinister creature, a demon, an evil spirit!"

"It’s him!"

The Taoist, trembling, pointed at Fan Wu and stuttered, "It’s... it’s him! The one... the one I saw in my dreams, who murdered my brothers and master, it’s him! It is... it is him!!!"

"Nonsense!" Si Ma Hundred Households’s face darkened even more, annoyed that this delirious Taoist dared to slander Daoist Priest Fan.

Does this fool not know what happened to the last person who dared to slander Daoist Priest Fan, who has since disappeared without a trace?

And that missing person was one of their own Qintian Division officials!

Truly a terrifying thought.

Si Ma Hundred Households reprimanded, "Open your damned eyes and look carefully, who is this person in front of you? This Taoist Priest is Daoist Priest Fan from the Qiulong Temple!"

"I... I’m not spouting nonsense, I’m not!" the Taoist cried out tremblingly: "It’s really him, I’ve had that dream dozens of times, how could I not know what he looks like?"

"You’re saying... you dreamed that the one who killed your order is poor me, your mother?" Fan Wu asked with interest, "In your dreams, what did poor me look like?"

Faced with Fan Wu’s question, the Taoist was extremely fearful and began to tremble as he responded.

"You... you were an extremely vicious criminal!"

"You wore pants but no shirt! Your body was covered in... in muscles! And on your back, there was a terrifying tattoo, a tattoo of an evil spirit!"

"Yes! That’s right! And you had a sword! I... I seem to remember the sword, it was very similar to the True Martial Great Emperor’s Demon-slaying Sword."

"You used that sword to kill my brothers and master!"

The man’s answer seemed illogical.

Was Fan Wu not aware of his actions over the past few days?

How could he possibly have gone to an unfamiliar Taoist Temple and slaughtered everyone there?

If he had done such a thing, wouldn’t he be aware?

However...

Fan Wu could tell that the man in front of him wasn’t lying.

Every word that he said.

Was incredibly real.

This was intriguing.

"This man doesn’t seem to be lying," said Fan Wu. "When we go to that Green Pine Temple, bring him along; we might discover something."

"The bodies of those Taoists in the Green Pine Temple haven’t been dealt with by the Qintian Division yet, have they?" Fan Wu asked.

Si Ma Hundred Households responded, "Yes, Daoist Priest Fan, we’ll bring him out! You’re right, we haven’t dealt with those Taoists’ bodies just yet. We felt something was too strange about it last night and chose not to go then."

"Alright, bring him along," Fan Wu said, and then he left the Qintian Judiciary Dungeon.

Si Ma Hundred Households immediately released the Taoist from the cell but did not remove the shackles from his hands.

He affixed a spell talisman to the Taoist’s abdomen.

With a forceful poke, he pierced the talisman.

Amid the pain, there came a terrible scream, as they saw the talisman being driven into his body.

Si Ma Hundred Households warned, "This is the ’Control Dantian’ talisman. If I find you engaging in any improper actions... I will immediately detonate this talisman, destroy your Dantian, and end your life and path!"

Having said that,

he unceremoniously grabbed the chain on the shackles and dragged the terrified Taoist out.

Once outside the judiciary dungeon,

Si Ma Hundred Households summoned a Chief Flag Officer and said to him, "Keep an eye on this fellow. If he makes any suspicious move, either notify me immediately or execute him on the spot. Do not give him a chance!"

The Chief Flag Officer nodded gravely, "Yes, Hundred Households sir! I understand!"

Si Ma Hundred Households ordered the others, "The rest of you, get the carriages ready. Follow me to the Green Pine Temple!"

"Yes, Hundred Households sir!!"

The Prefecture’s Qintian Division was indeed lavish, even their travel was by carriage, and their carriages appeared to be of a rather high-end and luxurious type.

At this moment, Fan Wu was sitting in a rapidly moving carriage.

The jostling would probably be enough to shake half the life out of an ordinary person.

But for a cultivator, such jostling was nothing to speak of.

For Fan Wu, it was even less significant.

He did not even feel the bumps.

He had no idea how much time had passed, but Fan Wu could already hear the horses panting heavily, and he could also feel the speed of the carriage gradually slowing down.

Green Pine Temple.

They must be almost there.

"Daoist Priest Fan!" Si Ma Hundred Households called from outside the carriage, "Ahead lies Green Pine Temple. This entire mountain is their territory. As the mountain path is too rugged, the carriage can’t ascend, so we will have to proceed on foot."

Fan Wu stepped down from the carriage and looked up at the mountain in front of him, thinking that none of the Taoist temples near the Prefecture were simple.

Green Pine Temple sounded like a small sanctuary, but an entire mountain was their territory—wasn’t that richer than his own Qiulong Temple? His swindler master could cheat and swindle for half a lifetime and still not afford a whole mountain, right?

Not to mention... the task of constructing a Taoist temple on such a large mountain.

The labor and financial resources required,

would be astronomical.

"Hmm?"

Just then, Fan Wu suddenly made a sound of surprise.

This immediately put Si Ma Hundred Households on alert, "Have you discovered something, Daoist Priest Fan?"

Fan Wu did not rush to answer but closed his eyes to feel more attentively.

After a moment,

he opened his eyes.

A look of interest spread across his face as he revealed why he had reacted as he did, "Just now, I sensed a familiar ’person’s’ presence."

Si Ma Hundred Households was taken aback, "A familiar person? Is it a friend of yours, Daoist Priest Fan? May I ask who they are?"

"They are familiar, but not a friend,"

Fan Wu replied, "Who are they? You’ve chosen your words quite cleverly... because, They are an Evil God!"

"They are called the Witch Immortal!"

"..."
