Chapter 478: Chapter 167: Using Seduction to Bewitch Daoist Priest Fan? Fan Wu Treated as Material! (10,000-word mega Chapter, subscribe please)_3
"Daoist Priest Fan, shall we go to the mountains behind Neihai County to have a look?" Yun Jiuqing forced herself to swallow an Exorcism Talisman, used to kill the Gu worm within her body. Then she turned to Fan Wu and asked, "Or should we report to the authorities first?"
When Yun Jiuqing looked at the merchant, her eyes were filled with disdain and disgust: "Among those present, these cooks and kitchen hands, as well as the diners outside, are all innocent people."
"But this fellow is certainly not innocent; at the very least, he killed a person years ago!"
"Had he killed that practitioner of witchcraft and Gu instead of the Daoist back then... perhaps today’s events wouldn’t have happened, and so many people wouldn’t have suffered, and even more people..."
At this point, Yun Jiuqing couldn’t continue.
Because, after swallowing an Exorcism Talisman, the scenes before her eyes...
Underwent a dramatic change!
She finally understood why Xing Fengzi had shown an expression as if he had eaten a bitter pill.
Yun Jiuqing’s face turned pale.
When looking at the merchant.
Her eyes showed even more aversion.
"Alright." Fan Wu replied.
Within Neihai County, there was also a branch of the Qintian Division.
It should be said that in any county within the vast Central Region of the Great Zhou, there was a branch of the Qintian Division.
Unlike Nanjun.
After all, some of the more remote counties in Nanjun, or those with fewer people...
Did not have branches of the Qintian Division.
Fan Wu and the others escorted the disheveled merchant to the local Qintian Division.
Perhaps because this small county named Neihai County was relatively small in size and had fewer people, the highest-ranking official within the local Qintian Division was just a Little Banner Officer.
That explained even better... why a practitioner of witchcraft and Gu had been able to act unchallenged for over a decade without anyone discovering him.
What could a mere Little Banner Officer and his dozen or so Qintian Division members do?
What could they have possibly uncovered?
Keep in mind, if not for Fan Wu’s reminder, even Xing Fengzi had failed to notice anything amiss.
Let alone the Little Banner Officer of the Qintian Division.
At this moment.
The Little Banner Officer of the Neihai County Qintian Division was looking with a startled gaze at the several cultivators before him, then at the kneeling merchant who kept silent.
The Little Banner Officer remembered this merchant because the merchant was quite renowned in Neihai County, chiefly because his Hunter’s Meat Restaurant was well-known.
"Fellow Daoists, what is this about?" The attitude of this Little Banner Officer of the Qintian Division was quite courteous, as he could see that both Yun Jiuqing and Xing Fengzi were formidable.
Especially Xing Fengzi, who could exert a significant pressure on him.
He was certain that this young-looking Taoist Priest possessed profound spiritual cultivation.
As for Fan Wu...
Fan Wu didn’t just exert pressure on him but a terrifying sense of oppression! This oppression made the Little Banner Officer of the Qintian Division extremely vigilant inside and slightly nervous, his palms sweating.
Xing Fengzi took the initiative to inform the Little Banner Officer of the Qintian Division of some of the things he knew.
Sentence after sentence.
Shocking words that demanded attention.
The Little Banner Officer of the Qintian Division stood rooted to the spot, stunned... because what Xing Fengzi had told him seemed a bit too unbelievable, didn’t it?
At that moment, Xing Fengzi continued, "I am a Taoist Priest from Di Zu Guan; this is my ordination certificate. I can guarantee that there is not a single lie in all that I have said."
Xing Fengzi took out his ordination certificate and showed it to the Little Banner Officer of the Qintian Division.
Today, as the Little Banner Officer leaned in to look
He was greatly surprised.
This young-looking Taoist Priest before him was actually a Taoist Priest from Di Zu Guan! Di Zu Guan had a significant reputation in the Central Region of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
As a member of the Qintian Division, he could tell that this certificate was not fake; it was a genuine ordination certificate.
The words of a distinguished Taoist Priest from Di Zu Guan were certainly not to be doubted.
Did that not mean...
Hisss!!!
The Little Banner Officer of the Qintian Division took in a sharp breath. He looked at the kneeling merchant and demanded, "Is what this little Taoist Priest said true? You had better answer truthfully! If I hear even half a lie from your mouth..."
"True... it’s true..." the merchant was too scared to tell any falsehoods: "What they... they said is all true."
But he still tried to plead for himself, "This Qintian Division officer, I’m innocent as well! I am also a victim!"
Good gracious, even the merchant had admitted it.
It seemed this matter was indeed true; an unknown practitioner of evil had caused chaos in Neihai County undetected for over a decade — and their Neihai County Qintian Division had not noticed a thing!
Just how many people had died over these years?
The Little Banner Officer of the Qintian Division dared not even contemplate it because he knew the number was substantial.
After all, that was over a decade’s worth of time!
He could already anticipate what those above would say when this was reported, how they would berate him... But what could he do? This kind of matter couldn’t possibly be covered up!
