Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 942 - 250: Blood Gu Sect Emerges! Sudden Turmoil!_3

Walking in front was... several government officials holding bronze gongs and drums, who, while striking them, shouted loudly: "Government officials escorting prisoners, stand back! Official insignia escorting prisoners, stand back!"

Striking the gongs and beating the drums while shouting created a commotion that naturally made people step aside. Moreover, the crowd could sense... that the prisoners being escorted were all cultivators!

Then, someone eager for gossip called out from the roadside: "Officers, what kind of prisoners are you escorting? Making such a big show with all this commotion, they can’t be just chicken thieves or dog snatchers, right?"

If... these government officials escorting the prisoners had some professional integrity, they wouldn’t answer such questions, but obviously, they lacked it. One of them casually replied: "Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect!"

As soon as this answer fell, all the people of Ying Tian City present gasped in unison. The reputation of the Blood Gu Sect within the Shangwu Dynasty was very notorious, given its infamy.

The wicked deeds of the Blood Gu Sect were barely covered up, leading to an always terrible reputation. Of course, the sect itself was a force worshiping the Evil God, naturally making their reputation terrible.

Within the Shangwu Dynasty, wherever Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect appeared, big incidents would almost certainly occur! For the Blood Gu Sect, it was normal for one or two people to die, and even cases of a dozen or even hundreds of deaths occurred from time to time.

Under such circumstances... such a force that worshiped the Evil God was bound to have a bad reputation. In fact, some people were quite averse to even mentioning the Blood Gu Sect, feeling the three words alone represented disaster’s arrival.

Therefore, upon learning that all the prisoners in the convoy were Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect, it was natural for the commoners of Ying Tian City to have such a reaction.

"Goodness me, no wonder those people in the prisoner carts seem so spine-chilling; they’re all Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect! Those guys, every single one of them gives off a sinister vibe."

"They’ve actually captured so many Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect. Were they caught all at once while gathered for some nefarious purpose? Well captured, indeed! Each and every one of them deserves to be beheaded!"

"I heard that a neighboring county was raided by the Blood Gu Sect a few years ago. It’s said that two to three hundred civilians and a hundred or two government officers died at that time."

"I think we should stay away. It’s said the tricks of the Blood Gu Sect are very eerie. What if... they put a curse on us when we least expect it?!"

"Well done in capturing them! Damned oath, these worshippers of the Evil God should be executed by dismemberment. Believing in such a filthy Evil God instead of proper deities, what a joke!"

"How come there’s an old codger among them? Is that old codger also a member of the Blood Gu Sect? And what’s the deal with this old codger?"

"Right, why is he pierced through by two chains? And covered in blood all over, can he still be alive? With injuries like that, is there even a need to escort him?"

"Shh! Keep it down; among these officers, there seem to be members of the Imperial City Division, and seemingly not just a few. These prisoners they’re escorting are no ordinary sect disciples!"

"Shh what? What if members of the Imperial City Division overhear? I’ve committed no crimes against the Shangwu Dynasty’s laws, so what’s there to fear?"

"Hiss! They’ve actually captured so many from the Blood Gu Sect? Where did they catch them from? Could it possibly be... that they were captured right here in Ying Tian City?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"..."

From their tone, it was clear that they were quite wary of the disciples of the Blood Gu Sect.

Even in a land known for its simple customs or within a ferociously militant dynasty...

The existence of the Blood Gu Sect still instilled fear in the ordinary common folk.

No one wanted their bodies controlled by a couple of odd little insects.

And nobody wanted their bodies hollowed out by those bugs.

Just picturing that scene in one’s mind...

Was enough to send shivers down one’s spine!

"Eh? Turned out they’re people of the Blood Gu Sect," Bai Sheng murmured in astonishment, whispering to himself: "Lately, as I passed through some counties and cities, I’ve occasionally seen Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect captured... I didn’t expect Ying Tian City to have them too... How come it feels like the appearance of Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect is becoming more and more frequent? The Blood Gu Sect used to keep a low profile, but now they’re becoming blatantly rampant."

"Bai Jushi, is the Blood Gu Sect such a scourge within the Shangwu Dynasty too?" The person who asked this was obviously Xing Fengzi, who surveyed the prisoner carts approaching the front while speaking: "Within our Great Zhou Dynasty, there has been a great number of Blood Gu Sect Disciples causing chaos. Moreover, those Disciples even want to overturn a dynasty’s rule, plunging the entire Dynasty into turmoil."

"There are also Blood Gu Sect Disciples making trouble in your Great Zhou Dynasty?" Bai Sheng was astonished, and somewhat indignant: "Those people, each one lawless, regarding life as worthless. Yet they are extremely cunning and hide very deeply. If they didn’t expose themselves, no one would know they were Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect. In the past ten years, the Blood Gu Sect has probably killed millions of people within the Shangwu Dynasty!"
