Chapter 588: Chapter 185: Trace of the Witch Immortal! Signs of Turbulent Times Beginning to Emerge! (Request for Subscription for the 10,000-Word Mega Chapter)_4
"All of the Blood Gu Sect members have been laid to rest by a very powerful Taoist," they said. "That Taoist... that Taoist has always been in this county town; he has never left."
"See how formidable he is? The moment you dare to make a move, that Taoist will sense it. Have you heard of spirit sense? It’s that thing the storytellers frequently talk about, the spirit sense."
"That Taoist is a Terrestrial Immortal; nothing that happens in Neihai County, big or small, can escape his spirit sense!"
"Oh?" Fan Wu said with a peculiar expression, "The Taoist you’re talking about, is he from Qiulong Temple? Is his name Fan Wu?"
The Neihai County arrest officer was startled; he had no idea what the Taoist’s name was, and he wasn’t particularly interested in such matters.
He only knew there was a Taoist in Neihai County who had eliminated many of the Blood Gu Sect.
He only knew that the explosion at that time had frightened him so much that he had crawled under a table.
That was all.
However.
He did not reveal his ignorance of the name but instead roared fiercely, "Yes, it’s Qiu... Qiulong Temple, it’s Daoist Fan Wu! He is in Neihai County!!"
"Who blew the bamboo whistle?" Just at that moment, a voice, from far to near.
Several figures, light as falling leaves.
Came soaring from not too far away.
It was the Great Zhou Imperial Office of Heaven!
A Little Banner Officer of the Imperial Office of Heaven, with three other members, hurried over. This level of response was already quite elite for a small county like Neihai County, which had a population of fewer than twenty to thirty thousand people.
Even if you counted some... merchants passing through and resting here, the number wouldn’t exceed fifty thousand people.
Such a small place, no matter how prosperous.
It would not have more members from the Imperial Office of Heaven.
"Imperial Officer of Heaven, sir!!" In a small place like Neihai County, a formidable arrest officer was also a well-known figure. Technically speaking, his rank was on par with that of a Little Banner Officer of the Imperial Office of Heaven and he even supervised more people than the Little Banner Officer did.
But at this moment, he actually addressed the Little Banner Officer as "sir," clearly in a state of panic.
He needed to find a support to rely on quickly.
"Imperial Officer of Heaven, sir!" The Neihai County arrest officer hurriedly shouted loud and clear, "It was I who blew it! I blew it?!"
The Little Banner Officer of the Imperial Office of Heaven hadn’t had time to see clearly what was happening in front of him when he was drawn over by the arrest officer’s voice.
He saw the arrest officer wielding a long knife, and frowned, "Arrest Officer Ning, you blew the whistle? Does that mean you have found traces of the Blood Gu Sect disciples in Neihai County?"
"I have found them!" Arrest Officer Ning quickly said, "This fellow here is very likely to be a Sect Disciple of the Blood Gu Sect!"
He pointed with the long knife at Fan Wu, "It’s him, and his companions too, are very likely to be Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect."
The Little Banner Officer’s expression became solemn.
He looked towards the direction where Fan Wu was standing with a heavy face.
And then he was suddenly taken aback.
Dumbstruck!
Because of the shock in his heart, the Little Banner Officer even doubted if he was hallucinating? He rubbed his eyes, only to see that Fan Wu was still standing there.
"This..." he said incredulously, looking at Arrest Officer Ning beside him, "This is the Sect Disciple of the Blood Gu Sect you mentioned?"
Arrest Officer Ning replied, "Yes, that’s right. I just asked my two subordinates whether they had any connection with the Blood Gu Sect, and their answers were very ambiguous. Especially this person, he actually answered, ’How did you know I was related to the Blood Gu Sect?’ Isn’t that an implicit admission?"
"And this person!" Arrest Officer Ning glared fiercely at the local of Neihai County on the ground, "This fellow must be the inside man for the Blood Gu Sect, otherwise how could that Blood Gu Sect person want to protect him?"
"Damn! If I had known, I should have kicked him a few more times earlier, or maybe I should have drawn my knife and chopped him down right from the start."
Slap!!!
An abrupt slap landed on Arrest Officer Ning’s face, and the great force actually knocked him to the ground.
The knife in Ning’s hand dropped as well.
This scene...
Left the other two Government Officials dumbfounded because they saw with their own eyes the Little Banner Officer of the Imperial Office of Heaven slap their arrest officer Ning to the ground with a backhand.
This... this...
What on earth was going on?
"Hiss—" Arrest Officer Ning felt a burning pain on his cheek, and his mouth was even split open by the slap. He stared wide-eyed at the Little Banner Officer, unable to restrain the fury in his heart, "What are you doing? Why are you hitting me?"
"I addressed you as ’Imperial Officer of Heaven, sir’ out of respect! If it comes down to it, our statuses here in Neihai County are not far apart!"
The Little Banner Officer completely ignored him, instead bowing politely to Fan Wu, with respect.
"Xin Gaojiu of the Imperial Office of Heaven, salutes Daoist Fan Wu!"
The tone in which he spoke was ingratiating; it was hard to imagine such a tone of speech coming from a member of the Imperial Office of Heaven, "The last time Daoist Fan Wu helped the Imperial Office of Heaven eradicate the Blood Gu Sect, I did not have the chance to thank you, Daoist."
"Now at last, the opportunity has come."
He paused, then continued, "Some news from the Imperial City has also reached me. Daoist Fan Wu, with your own strength, turned the tides, truly the greatest hero among men!"
"Truly the number one Heavenly Master in Great Zhou!"
