Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 906 - 243: Shangwu Dynasty Shaken! A God of the Earth! _4

It wasn’t that they had become smarter, nor had they grown more cunning—this was merely an instinct born of biology. Just as a wild beast fears those more powerful than itself.

However, because the brothers Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu were simply too conspicuous, their presence always managed to stir up trouble wherever they went. After all, their characteristics were indeed too prominent, and it was difficult not to be recognized while walking down the street.

In the Shangwu Dynasty, there were indeed no shortage of folks with strange and peculiar appearances, and these two brothers were among the most peculiar of them all.

After all, in the Shangwu Dynasty, having a height of three meters was considered quite rare.

One could turn the entire Dynasty upside down and probably not find more than ten such individuals.

"Is that... the Yan brothers wanted by the bounty notice!" As they walked down the street, they could see a local civilian looking at Fan Wu and others in shock. The civilian’s face, in an instant, then showed excitement, "Does that mean, I can report them and have them arrested? A bounty of two thousand silver per person, that’s four thousand silver!"

Such thoughts were difficult to hide. As soon as he shouted, he turned around and ran without another word, afraid that Fan Wu and the others would stop him, and even more afraid that someone else might run faster and claim the bounty of four thousand silver first.

In reality, his actions were unnecessary, for even before Fan Wu and the others entered this county town, someone had already run to report them to the authorities. However, it was obvious that reporting to the officials was of no use; the local government dared not arrest Fan Wu and his company!

There was no helping it...The news had spread too quickly, and everyone knew just how formidable the brothers Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu were.

Moreover, it was well known that there was an extremely terrifying foreigner in the company of the two brothers.

This made them all the more untouchable!

"It feels as if... many people look at us as if they’re looking at a group of plague gods," Yun Jiuqing muttered softly, noticing the expressions of the passers-by, "But it seems, in a way, it has saved us a lot of trouble. At least under these circumstances, we should not have anyone coming to bother us."

Thinking this way, Yun Jiuqing suddenly felt a strange sensation. From what she remembered, wherever they went, trouble followed, and it had almost never ceased.

Now, with trouble suddenly gone, it felt rather unfamiliar.

"Hahaha! Although the people of the Shangwu Dynasty are hot-tempered, some are still able to suppress their rage," Yan Dalong responded with a hearty laugh upon hearing Yun Jiuqing’s murmur, "Because... they know that they cannot afford to provoke us. They must hold back their tempers lest they inadvertently trigger our wrath."

"Once they provoke us, the trouble falls not on us but on them! So sometimes, a bad reputation can be advantageous; at the very least, it keeps the trivial nuisances at bay. Only serious trouble dares to come knocking at our door, but how often does such serious trouble arise?"

Hmm... so serious trouble doesn’t occur frequently?

Yun Jiuqing fell into thought.

In her memory, most of the troubles they had encountered were indeed those particularly thorny major issues—either dealing with an Evil God, encountering Demons and Devils, or frequently having to visit the Netherworld. To them, the so-called minor irritations seemed incredibly rare.

While Yun Jiuqing was lost in thought, she suddenly noticed a commotion up ahead. She couldn’t help but look up, and then she was utterly stunned, a hint of astonishment crossing her face, "What is that?"

The rest also turned their gaze in that direction and saw that a statue of the Earth Deity had inexplicably appeared in the middle of the road! There it was, in the very center of the path, but bizarrely, the surrounding people seemed completely oblivious to the statue’s presence.

Yun Jiuqing could see that some of the passers-by, through an instinctive maneuver, circumvented the statue of the Earth Deity, completely unaware of their actions.

Which meant that the people passing by did not see the sudden appearance of the Earth Deity statue at all! Could it be that only their group could see it?

"Can you all see that statue there?" Yun Jiuqing asked, wondering if she was the only one who could see it.

Her question was obviously directed at Fan Wu and the other four.

Xing Fengzi wore a grave expression, "The Taoist can see it, a statue of the Earth Deity! Moreover, there is divinity and incense power on the statue. Beyond that, I do not sense the presence of Demons and Devils, nor the aura of evil spirits. In other words, this statue should not be a fake."

If this had happened before... upon seeing a statue of the Earth Deity appearing out of thin air in front of him, as a Taoist, Xing Fengzi would be extremely excited. But now things were different, mainly because following Daoist Fan Wu had elevated his experience and vision to a much higher level.

At the same time, Xing Fengzi had been forced to recognize that not all the deities in heaven were necessarily good. Or to put it another way, not all of heaven’s deities necessarily stood with humanity. Some deities might side against humans.
