Chapter 938: Chapter 249: The Dynasty Gains Fame! The Name of Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple?_3

"The Tuoba Clan’s Tuoba Jundu? Sss! Isn’t he one of the one hundred and eight generals of our Shangwu Dynasty? It is said that among the one hundred and eight generals, he could easily rank within the top fifty. Because he has never been defeated in his life. If it weren’t for the fact that he came from a noble family and it wasn’t too good to entrust him with more military power, he would probably already be commanding over a hundred thousand troops by now."

"My goodness, such a significant figure, and he just got defeated like that? Defeated by a nobody? That Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple, previously... I’ve never even heard of him! Where did he pop up from? How could someone we’ve never heard of be so powerful? And what place is Qiulong Temple?"

"Well, I’ve heard a bit more. I heard... that Qiulong Temple is a Taoist Temple of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that Fan Wu, is the Taoist from inside Qiulong Temple! What? Never heard of the Great Zhou Dynasty? It’s the dynasty next to our Shangwu Dynasty, the one next to the Great Yan Dynasty!"

"Great Zhou Dynasty? Taoist? How did a Taoist from the Great Zhou Dynasty end up here? And isn’t that a bit too absurd? Why would a Taoist be so powerful? If Taoists were that powerful, then why do we even need an army? Our dynasty might as well just raise a few more Taoists."

"It’s not that easy! Though I’m not a cultivator myself, I’ve never eaten pork but I’ve seen pigs run, haven’t I? I feel that most Taoists are just... so-so. They might be very good at catching ghosts and exorcising evil, but when it comes to fighting an army, will they hard-headedly clash with a large force?"

"If Taoists are so unreliable, why then is that Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple so formidable? He’s just a Taoist, right? If the Great Zhou Dynasty can raise such a Taoist, can’t our Shangwu Dynasty do the same?"

"That’s hard to say... after all, how does the old saying go? The water and soil of a place nourish the people of that place! Maybe the Great Zhou Dynasty really can raise such powerful Taoists, who knows. Since none of us have been there, who can say they can’t? Who dares to assert?"

"It is said that the Taoist has been mingling with the two lunatic brothers, Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu. Now that’s the real shocking news! He couldn’t possibly believe the same nonsense, slandering our National Master, as those crazy brothers, could he?"

"Sss! A foreign Taoist so remarkable, actually believing those ghost stories? And... he is even mingling with those two brothers? What on earth is he thinking? Can such ghost stories be taken lightly?"

"..."

...

Compared to the "defeat of tens of thousands of troops by one person" that the common people cared about, some of the significant individuals within the Imperial City were even more concerned with the incomprehensible act of Fan Wu "defeating an Evil God by himself." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

After all, ordinary people generally have little concept of what an Evil God is; at most, they might have heard about some followers of an Evil God. As for the actual being of an Evil God... they have neither heard of it nor have any related concept.

The big shots in the Imperial City, however, are different; they are capable of understanding through many records just how dreadful an Evil God is! Any given Evil God could slay tens of thousands of cultivators!

This statement is definitely not a joke, as the records about Evil Gods outline their terrifying strength. Each Evil God is far more powerful than the usual righteous gods!

Small deities like the Gods of the Earth, Mountain Gods, River Gods, Well Gods... are absolutely no match for any Evil God. They would simply be giving themselves away in a fight against an Evil God.

"Gentlemen, you are all distinguished figures within the Imperial City. Not one of you is not a leader of a top-tier force, or the Family Head of a noble house, or that prominent Imperial Court official."

At this moment, in a location within the Imperial City, various individuals were gathering. Looking out, there were hundreds of them, and each one carried an extraordinary air, clearly no ordinary people.

They were all important figures within the Dynasty; should all these people perish, it would cause an unprecedented earthquake for the entire Shangwu Dynasty!

The impact... would even be comparable to the death of an Emperor! This is not an exaggeration, for the influence and families of these individuals are involved in every aspect of the Dynasty.

Most of these people were casting serious looks upon the man who had just spoken.

Only a few looked at the speaker with disdain, but none dared to openly voice their disagreements.

The speaker appeared to be an old man with white hair, and his demeanor was quite amiable.

He lacked the arrogance and overbearing presence of others, like a sword kept hidden in its sheath.

His aura... so detached, as if it was naturally innate.

One could tell instantly that this individual had a cultivation base and achieved Dao that were definitely not low!

Otherwise...

Some people, even if they did not agree with him, would not dare to voice any objections.

The elderly man spoke without a hint of arrogance, using a voice that was both old and robust. He addressed the people present, "Gentlemen, how credible do we think such a message is? A Taoist Priest from the Great Zhou Dynasty, alone, defeats tens of thousands of troops and even slays an Evil God. Such achievements, no matter which Dynasty or era, would be enough to be recorded in the annals of history, wouldn’t they?"
