Chapter 935: Chapter 248: The Name of Fan Wu Slaying the Evil God Spreads Throughout the Shangwu Dynasty!_6

If the Earth Deity of Lingchen County wasn’t afraid of death, he wouldn’t have called for Fan Wu’s help. But because he was a deity terrified of dying, he felt utterly panic-stricken when confronted with such a situation. He was deathly afraid that the common folk would believe the rumors if they spread too far, and equally afraid that Fan Wu would take the matter to heart, then turn back to trouble him, the Earth Deity. He knew all too well that Daoist Fan Wu was absolutely someone not to provoke!

For the other party didn’t only dare to kill an Evil God, but also a true deity! And after killing a deity, nothing would happen; no other deities would come seeking trouble with him. Because his patron was the Great Emperor of True Martial Exorcism! With such a powerful patron, it wasn’t just easy to traverse this world freely, but even the Heavenly Court itself!

What would it matter to someone if they killed an Earth Deity? Even if they killed five or six, it probably wouldn’t be a problem! It would likely take the slaughtering of a dozen or two before the Heavenly Court became displeased! What if, in the unlikely event, someone didn’t mind adding the life of an Earth Deity to their tally? Under his extreme fear of death, the Earth Deity couldn’t afford to think too much. Therefore, the Earth Deity of Lingchen County decided it was best to act prudently.

It was precisely because he personally came forth to dispel the rumors that the entire Lingchen County was thrown into an uproar. Who could have imagined that the being who had slain such an Evil God was actually not the Earth Deity? That is to say... what that scion of the Bai Family in the Imperial City had said at the inn, was all true! And, what was even more shocking was, why was it Daoist Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple who killed the Evil God?

For most people within the county, the name "Daoist Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple" was not unfamiliar. The deeds Fan Wu had done in another county had long since spread here. They all knew of an outsider named Fan Wu, who mingled with the Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu brothers and, by himself, defeated tens of thousands of naval forces!

Such a person had actually slain an Evil God? Inconceivable! Unbelievable! And this was confirmed by the Earth Deity himself, which was essentially... official confirmation. Such news greatly shocked the cultivators within the county.

"Wait... wait! Wait a moment!" a cultivator from Lingchen County called out in amazement and astonishment: "How could he possibly kill such an Evil God? He’s just an ordinary mortal like us, one of the common folk! How could he? How did he do it?"

Another cultivator with a solemn expression said, "Perhaps he had that strength to begin with. This is the truth pointed out by the Earth God himself, do you still doubt it? If you doubt it, are you doubting the Earth God? Are you... doubting a deity?"

"This... but this is too inconceivable!" someone exclaimed in astonishment: "And such a powerful individual, why would he mingle with the Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu brothers? Could it be that he cannot discern that what the brothers say... is all nonsense? With his abilities, he should be able to tell apart!"

"Is it possible... that he can indeed tell whether the brothers are spouting nonsense, and that’s why he stays with them. After all, if he’s truly that powerful, he must have his own convictions and thoughts." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that what Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu brothers had spoken... damn! How could that be? They have slandered the National Master so, how could such slanderous words be true?"

"If it’s not true, then... why would Daoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple believe those two brothers? Surely he isn’t just mingling with them to laugh at their expense?"

"Well, it’s not entirely impossible. After all, aren’t many people interested in laughing at those two brothers? If it weren’t for the fact that I couldn’t beat them, I’d like to see them made fun of, too."

"Shh—You fellows, how can you be so bold? Be cautious with your words! If the officials of the government hear you... you could be in big trouble!"

"Yes! The words we just said, let’s hope they weren’t overheard by the Imperial City Division! If they catch us... there won’t be any good outcome!"

"..."

The stir that Fan Wu caused in Lingchen County was inevitably going to spread elsewhere. Gossip in the Shangwu Dynasty spread incredibly fast.

Nearly in the blink of an eye, five or six counties nearby had all heard about this incident. Their first reaction was also one of disbelief.

When they heard that an Earth Deity himself had come out to confirm the veracity of this news, they were flabbergasted!

Such an insane piece of news swept through like a hurricane, spreading in all directions.

Inevitably, this news reached the ears of officials... among them the Imperial City Division, a special institution of the Imperial Court!

The Imperial City Division is different from other organizations, similar to the Holy Fire Guards.

The Imperial City Division is the Imperial Court’s special division of the Shangwu Dynasty.

At this moment.

Within the Imperial City Division.

"Senior Commandant! The news... is true! A bandit named Fan Wu indeed mingled with the brothers Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu, and he has done two earth-shattering major deeds and one minor deed. The minor deed was knocking out Yan Dahu; the two major deeds are, defeating tens of thousands of naval forces under Tuoba Jundu’s command by himself; and in Lingchen County, he has killed... killed an Evil God."

The person who uttered these words was a clerk of the Imperial City Division. Within the division, he was a fairly ordinary member.

"Pff!" In front of this clerk, a "Third Rank Junior Commandant" of the Imperial City Division couldn’t hold back and sprayed his tea.

He hurriedly wiped his mouth and widened his eyes, eagerly asking, "What did you say? Killed what?!"

"Uh... an Evil God."
