Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 959 - 253: Daoist Priest Fan Battles the Giant Gu! A Power that Shakes the Ancient and Modern Times!_4

Government Offices.

Imperial City Division.

Cultivators of the Imperial Court.

All mobilized!

Within the Imperial City Division of Ying Tian City, the highest authority was a certain Commander, who had thousands of members of the Imperial City Division under his command. In the vast expanse of Ying Tian City, he ranked among the top brass. Now, with a serious expression, he said, "The city lord has ordered that everyone be mobilized to trap that monster within that region!"

"Yes, Commander!" The massive Imperial City Division of Ying Tian City immediately sprang into action. Every member, with utmost speed, made comprehensive preparations and poured out of their quarters. They all mounted tall horses, vigorously whipping, and galloped toward that direction. In truth, their speed when using their light-body techniques was not slow, but that would severely drain their stamina, and they could well be powerless by the time they reached their destination.

The various city guards in Ying Tian City totaled upwards of several hundred thousand, all capable combatants, not mere logisticians. Upon receiving the military orders, they too rapidly mobilized. Squad after squad of cavalry and infantry left their stations across various districts and quickly advanced in one direction. Almost everyone was clad in light armor, wielding long spears in their hands. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

At first glance, there seemed to be a certain resignation to death, even when facing a monstrous insect that they had never encountered before. Yet, the expression of each soldier was as resolute as ever, filled with fearlessness. They appeared extremely motivated, gripping their weapons tightly, their strides forward steady yet swift. A faint presence of military evil qi woven among them.

The government offices of Ying Tian City were also not idle. The government officials there, although not as militarily proficient as the soldiers, still gritted their teeth and advanced in that direction. The cultivators from the government offices also emerged in full force. Such a formidable combined force was enough to instill fear in countless powers. This was merely the power of one city in the Shangwu Dynasty; one could only imagine how fearsome the entire dynasty was.

"Amitabha..." Inside a temple in Ying Tian City, the abbot, dressed in a kasaya, with hands pressed together, addressed the gathering of martial monks in front of him, "Buddha is merciful, and though monks should not kill, such a creature has threatened the safety of the city’s residents. We at the Spirit Buddha Temple cannot stand idly by in this situation."

He paused, then continued, "To put it bluntly, those Taoists next door will surely seize this opportunity to descend from the mountain to save people. We cannot allow them to precede us. Such a strange creature must be liberated by our people of the Spirit Buddha Temple! We absolutely cannot let those Taoists destroy it first."

"Master, your previous guess was indeed correct. Those monks next door really couldn’t help themselves." When those monks emerged en masse, the Taoists in a nearby Taoist Temple could see them clearly, "And they’ve mobilized a lot of people, at least several hundred, probably all their martial monks have come out."

"Hmph... What kind of person that old monk is, how could I not know?" An old Taoist priest stroked his beard, his expression serious as he said, "When we get to that place, do not underestimate that monster, I believe it is not a simple creature."

Inside a cultivating family in Ying Tian City... A group of elders and the Family Head of this family were all gathered together. The Family Head spoke, "In this matter, it’s best if we do not get involved. If anyone in the family wishes to join in, they must not use the family’s name to participate, to avoid future retaliation from the Blood Gu Sect."

An elder nodded strongly in agreement and chimed in, "What the Family Head said is right... It’s mentioned that the Blood Gu Sect consists of vindictive deviants. Our family is but a small one in Ying Tian City; we likely cannot afford to provoke such a power. One misstep, and our entire family might be buried together."

"Second Elder’s words may be crude but the reasoning is sound." A younger elder also nodded and added, "An event of this magnitude is not for small families like ours to participate in. It’s sufficient for us to silently observe from the sidelines. Once involved, the consequences are unimaginable!"

The various living beings in Ying Tian City, at this moment, displayed their true natures vividly. Some had the courage to exorcise demons and protect the Tao, willing to rush to the scene. Some were more concerned about their own interests, feeling that getting involved would not end well. Each person made their own different choices.

...

"It’s perfect! It’s just perfect..." Inside the prison cart, the elder of the Blood Gu Sect, though covered in many wounds, still showed no signs of weakness. He gripped the iron bars of the prison cart tightly, wishing he could squeeze his head through the gaps. His eyes gleamed with fervent anticipation.
