Chapter 501: Chapter 171: Fan Wu’s Ghostly Stance! Shocking the Imperial City with the First Fist! (10,000-word Chapter, Please Subscribe)_1
The object that appeared before Fan Wu and the others was a bright red coffin—it was undoubtedly the Destiny Coffin! The Destiny Coffin was very recognizable, the kind you wouldn’t forget after a single glance.
After all, a cryptic object shaped like a coffin was quite rare within the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, the current Destiny Coffin had undergone some changes compared to before.
The biggest change was the two wheels on its body.
Bang bang bang.
Bang bang bang.
As Fan Wu’s words settled, the body of the Destiny Coffin began to tremble continuously.
Suddenly!
A small drawer sprang out from the coffin, and inside the drawer lay a sheepskin scroll.
It seemed that some kind of force was supporting this very unique sheepskin scroll, causing it to float gently into the air.
Then, in front of Fan Wu, the sheepskin scroll slowly unrolled.
It was inscribed with several lines of blood-red characters, very clear to see.
—Nanjun is too dangerous, the Imperial Astronomers are too useless, being by your side is the safest.
Yes!
The Destiny Coffin wasn’t predicting what would happen but was instead engaging in a humble dialogue with Fan Wu in front.
In a daze.
The text on the sheepskin scroll suddenly changed, transforming into different lines.
—Being by your side is safer than being with the Imperial Astronomers, the ones in Nanjun are too weak, all of them together cannot stop that Evil God, but... you can!
When addressing Fan Wu, the Destiny Coffin used the pronoun "You," showing a remarkably submissive attitude.
It was also one of the rare cryptic objects capable of communicating with humans!
After these two dialogues appeared.
The sheepskin scroll floating in mid-air fell straight to the ground, suddenly burst into flames, and turned to ashes.
The small drawer that had popped up on the Destiny Coffin’s body also retreated back in.
"Oh?"
Watching as the sheepskin turned to ash, Fan Wu lifted his foot from the Destiny Coffin and spoke with interest, "I reckon you wouldn’t leave the Nanjun Prefecture Government without a reason, after all... A lone cryptic object would very likely attract the attention of The Great Revered One during a long journey."
"You took such a big risk to travel a long distance, could it be... you foresaw something?" At this point, Fan Wu narrowed his eyes, "I, for one, do not like being used, even if the other party is a cryptic object."
This statement caused the Destiny Coffin’s body to shudder.
Because from Fan Wu,
the Destiny Coffin felt an immense pressure!
The Destiny Coffin could clearly sense that the Taoist from Qiulong Temple before it was much stronger than when he was in Nanjun Prefecture Government; his strength had increased at least several times, perhaps even by more than tenfold!
The Destiny Coffin’s small drawer popped out once again, and another sheepskin scroll that came from who knows where laid inside it.
The scroll floated.
It unfolded.
—I foresee a great terror about to befall me, but I do not know the nature of this great terror. I vaguely sense it is related to The Great Revered One, the Evil God.
Soon, the text on the sheepskin began to change.
—The Imperial Astronomers of Nanjun cannot stop The Great Revered One, neither can the Prefecture office, all the cultivators in Nanjun Prefecture Government together cannot stop it... I have no hope they can protect me, so even if the risk of leaving alone is great, I must leave that place.
—I sense the great terror constantly behind me... it is after me! No matter where I flee, the great terror will follow.
—I think... among the cultivators I’ve encountered, only you can offer me shelter.
—If you agree to protect me, whatever you need, as long as it’s within my ability, I will do it.
The Destiny Coffin today "spoke" more than it did in several years combined.
It truly felt a sense of crisis regarding death, looming over it, keeping it in a state of tension, besieged on all sides.
This is the suffering of a cryptic object with emotions and rationality—if it lacked these traits,
it probably wouldn’t be as afraid as it is now.
Of course...
If it lacked these traits, perhaps it would have already fallen into the clutches of The Great Revered One, becoming mere nourishment for the furtherance of the Evil God.
"Tch..." Fan Wu sized up the Destiny Coffin.
To tell the truth.
Due to the special nature of the Destiny Coffin, it showed no expression or emotional fluctuations – only these texts that could not be deciphered fully. Hence, Fan Wu couldn’t tell if the other was speaking truth or hiding something.
Fan Wu could only rely on his subjective prediction to judge that the Destiny Coffin had not concealed anything from him.
This coffin...
Had told him everything it knew.
If it had been Fan Wu from a long time ago, he would have stayed as far away from such a Destiny Coffin as possible. After all, at that time, he would have believed that while there might be no danger from the Destiny Coffin itself, the disasters it could bring were a significant threat.
But now, it was different: the current Fan Wu was not afraid of danger, nor trouble; he worried that trouble might not find him.
In his eyes, trouble was merely Attribute Points that walked freely towards him.
Since The Great Revered One valued the Destiny Coffin,
and The Great Revered One’s current Brigade Generals were either slain or extinguished by Fan Wu,
