Chapter 87: Chapter 83: The Arrival of Yinghe Prefecture’s Imperial Astronomers! Another Enemy Attracted by The Great Revered One! (Seeking First Subscription)_3

"Tonight, we are in for some trouble!"

"There’s no need to worry about the creature that destroyed the prison, just catch those escapees, and that will suffice," the voice of the Yin Envoy Huang San echoed once again.

"Hm?"

The Chief Bailiff was stunned and asked in surprise, "Why? Could it be that it has already escaped Yinghe Prefecture?"

"Not at all," Huang San explained. "That particular creature has been reduced to ashes."

The Chief Bailiff: "?"

Reduced to...

Reduced to ashes?

Could it be that it was this Yin Envoy who had slain that special creature?

However.

The next words from Huang San made the Chief Bailiff involuntarily widen his eyes, "It was the Taoist Priest who killed that creature."

The Chief Bailiff looked towards Chong Hengzi, a bit bewildered: "It was this Taoist Priest who killed the creature?"

What?

How could that be possible?

Even though this elder Taoist Priest, with his white hair and wearing a Daoist Robe, seemed quite the picture of a hermit.

Still, the Chief Bailiff could tell the Taoist Priest was not as strong as himself, nor as strong as the Yin Envoy before him.

How was a creature, that even such an old Taoist Priest could kill, capable of destroying the City God’s prison?

Feeling the gaze of the Chief Bailiff from the Imperial Observatory.

Chong Hengzi realized that the Imperial Observatory must have misunderstood something, and he awkwardly said, "The Taoist Priest that the Yin Envoy Lord was referring to is not me... but this Taoist Priest Fan."

He pointed at Fan Wu.

The Chief Bailiff: "?"

What?

Once again, the Chief Bailiff shifted his gaze onto Fan Wu.

To be honest.

He thought this "Taoist Priest Fan" was very strong! The terrifying aura that emanated from his body, so utterly unhidden, gave him a sense of immense pressure.

The bulging muscles on his body clearly indicated the horrific power contained within them.

If someone said he was a fierce general from the military, the Chief Bailiff could believe it.

Even if someone told him this was a humanoid Demon or Devil, he wouldn’t find it impossible to accept.

But the issue was.

A Taoist?

A Taoist Priest?

What Taoist would develop such a remarkable physique? What Taoist would have such exaggerated muscles?

If it weren’t for the words coming from a seemingly reliable elder Taoist and a respected Yin Envoy from Yinghe Prefecture... the Chief Bailiff would definitely think he was being played for a fool.

But on second thought.

Among those present.

One was an old Taoist Priest who was even weaker than himself, and the other was a Yin Envoy who was about on par with him.

So.

The only one who could match a powerful creature and even slay it, seemed to be that muscular and imposing Taoist Priest, right?

The Chief Bailiff from the Imperial Observatory mused.

The Yin Envoy Huang San watched the ruins of the prison, his thoughts unknown.

Fan Wu was too lazy to speak.

The scene quieted down.

Finally.

It was Chong Hengzi who broke the silence, "Yin Envoy, Centurion... Have you ever heard of a mysterious being known as ’The Great Revered One’ from the Underworld and Heavenly Office?"

Huang San cocked his head to the side, his sinister, hoarse voice rang out, "I have never heard of it. The first time I heard these three words was just earlier, when I heard them from you and Daoist Priest Fan."

"The Great Revered One?" The Chief Centurion of the Heavenly Office was taken aback, "The Great Revered One of Heaven and Earth, the compassionate savior?"

Chong Hengzi immediately responded eagerly, "Exactly, that creature! Earlier, Daoist Priest Fan mentioned that the being who destroyed the City God’s prison was under The Great Revered One! And it was The Great Revered One who descended into that creature earlier, which is why the creature was so formidable."

"The Heavenly Office knows of this creature?!"

The Chief Centurion spoke gravely, "I was informed of such a creature two days ago; that was through a message delivered by carrier pigeon from Bai He County’s Heavenly Office."

"Hmm?"

"Wait a minute!"

When it came to the carrier pigeon message from Bai He County, the Chief Centurion suddenly widened his eyes; he looked again at Fan Wu, "Is this Taoist Priest... surnamed Fan?"

"Daoist Priest Fan is indeed surnamed Fan," Chong Hengzi answered on behalf of Fan Wu.

"Was it you who protected the Destiny Coffin? And you helped Bai He County’s Heavenly Office, resolving the issue with Bai He County and Nie Family Village’s creature?" The Chief Centurion recalled that indeed, the pigeon message mentioned a "Daoist Priest Fan."

He just hadn’t made the connection earlier.

"Hmm," Fan Wu’s reply was indifferent. To tell the truth, he was not particularly keen on dealing with people from the Heavenly Office.

After all, hadn’t their people given him a less than wonderful impression from the start?

He always felt that where there was the Heavenly Office, there was big trouble.

If the trouble were demons, devils, or ghosts, the current Fan Wu could accept that. After all, with his increased strength, his attitude had changed; such creatures were no longer dangerous in his eyes.

But, if the trouble was none of these three, meaning no chance to gain Free Attribute Points, then Fan Wu thought it would be best to stay away from the Heavenly Office if he could.

He certainly did not wish to actively or passively get involved in troubles that had no chance of yielding Free Attribute Points.

"It really is you!" the Chief Centurion exclaimed. "Shen Ji Yue mentioned you in the pigeon message; just now, the Yin Envoy and the old Taoist Priest both called you ’Daoist Priest Fan.’ By rights, I should have realized it then."

He bowed solemnly to Fan Wu, "Perhaps the events of today were too much, and it blinded me. Please, Daoist Priest Fan, do not take offense."

"I, Long Sheng, stand here on behalf of Yinghe Prefecture’s Heavenly Office to express our gratitude to Daoist Priest Fan for your repeated assistance to the Heavenly Office!"

His words were very sincere, and it seemed he was truly grateful.

That was right... The Destiny Coffin, that kind of special creature, was definitely very important to their Heavenly Office.

If the Destiny Coffin had been taken in Yinghe Prefecture.

He, as a Centurion, would have to take responsibility.

And it would be significant responsibility!

Chief Centurion Long Sheng said gravely, "That ’The Great Revered One’ is not only scheming for the Destiny Coffin but has also caused chaos in Yinghe Prefecture by destroying the City God’s prison; this fiend is lawless!"

Chong Hengzi added, "Centurion, I believe that the disturbance in Yinghe Prefecture ten years ago was also this Great Revered One’s doing."

"What?" Long Sheng was even more furious, "A mere creature daring to be so brazen!"

At this moment.

The voice of the Yin Envoy, Huang San, followed, "I will report these acts of The Great Revered One to the City Lord God exactly as they occurred. This rural Evil God tries to disrupt the City Lord God’s birthday celebration time and again, each time more audacious than the last. The City Lord God will certainly not let it go!"

Looking at the righteousness of the Heavenly Office and the Yin Envoy, Fan Wu stroked his chin.

It seemed.

He had once again drawn another powerful enemy to The Great Revered One - "the City God of Yinghe Mansion."

Hmm.

Not bad at all!
