Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 939 - 249: The Dynasty Gains Fame! The Name of Fan Wu at Qiulong Temple?_4

The elder, not far off to the left, a plainly dressed old woman furrowed her brows, the creases on her face shifting with her frown, and said bluntly, "The old woman learned of this news through someone from the Imperial City Division. Normally, the people from the Imperial City Division are quite meticulous in relaying messages. If even the information they send back to the Imperial City can be false, then I’m afraid there would be no truth anywhere in the world."

"That’s not necessarily the case," said a middle-aged man who looked unassuming but was seated near the front, as he yawned casually, "The Imperial City Division has made mistakes before; the saying ’no one is perfect’—do you, who have lived for hundreds of years, not understand it yet? Have you not thought it through, just how preposterous this sounds? Let’s not even mention the Evil God, whose existence is uncertain, but just consider the tens of thousands of naval troops."

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "I recall that Tuoba Jundu of the Tuoba Clan, commands a navy nearly forty thousand strong, doesn’t he? Plus, Linhai County is his territory; doesn’t he know that area far better than some outsider? Tell me, among us here including myself, who could take on tens of thousands of troops? You think you can? Can you? Because I certainly cannot!"

"Heh, just because you can’t, doesn’t mean others can’t," an official in a long robe retorted unkindly to the middle-aged man. "Haven’t you forgotten Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu, the two brothers? Weren’t they also capable of cutting a path through an army of thousands? If this Qiu Long from Qiulong Temple, Fan Wu, is a bit more formidable than those two brothers, wouldn’t it be normal for him to accomplish such a feat?"

"And another thing," the official did not stop there as he seemed to be on bad terms with the middle-aged man, continuing to bicker, "Don’t forget that our Shangwu Dynasty’s National Master possesses such heaven-touching and earth-penetrating abilities! If this person is second only to the National Master, doesn’t that start to sound reasonable? Or are you implying that the National Master himself can’t defeat Demons and Devils?"

"Alright, alright!" the elder who spoke first said helplessly, "Gentlemen, could you give this old man some face? Some debates can be taken elsewhere. Aside from these few Daoist friends, does anyone else have something to say?"

"The Old Monk believes it’s true," a monk in robes barely opened his eyes and said, "Amitabha, it’s better to believe that it is possible than to believe it’s impossible. The world is vast, there are always people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens. The Old Monk feels that such an extraordinary person might indeed exist."

"I also support Master Chankong’s view," a Family Head remarked, "Moreover, this Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple is making a beeline for the Imperial City; I think we must take notice."

"What difference does it make, him heading for the Imperial City? Dare he stir up such a big commotion within the Imperial City?"

"Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu dared to make a fuss, do you think he wouldn’t dare? Whose family could withstand the might of such a powerful figure?"

After this remark, everyone present fell into silence.

Whether they were individuals with a guilty conscience or men of integrity,

All of them were somewhat unable to see through the situation,

And all were somewhat worried,

Because they did not know... whether Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple, who could slay an Evil God, was good or evil! If he were good, then those with a guilty conscience became somewhat panicked. If he were evil, then those who refused to associate with evil would become worried.

Fan Wu, although thousands of miles away at the moment, yet was remotely stirring up the winds and clouds of the Imperial City.

Throughout the Imperial City,

Everyone came to know

Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple!
