Chapter 648: Chapter 194: The Fury of Daoist Priest Fan! Crossing a Red Line! (A 10,000-word mega Chapter, please subscribe)_5
"That Fan Wu is also quite formidable, he can hack away evil spirits with his sword. But some time ago, he left Qiulong County, and I don’t know why, he inexplicably came back all of a sudden."
"Tsk!" Upon hearing the Magistrate of Qiulong County’s explanation, the middle-aged man let out a scornful chuckle, "And here I thought he was some sort of impressive figure, turns out he’s just a rural Taoist from some backwater hills."
The middle-aged man had no respect for a Taoist from such a remote place.
How impressive can a Taoist who can only survive in such a place be?
Perhaps... he’s only impressive in the eyes of these ordinary people!
Knowing a bit of petty Taoist magic is enough to be called a Heavenly Master.
Tch...
People from a backwater like this have just such narrow perspectives!
When the middle-aged man first arrived in Qiulong County with a group of Blood Gu Sect disciples, he had encountered cultivators from the county. He met a very old Taoist Priest with two young disciples; he also saw a rotund abbot from a temple, leading a few Martial Monks covered in gold dust.
It’s just a pity that those Qiulong County cultivators could not even beat his subordinates!
They didn’t need his intervention to catch all of them. And after sealing their mana, they were thrown into mines to dig for ores.
After all, they were still cultivators, and their physical conditioning was much better than that of ordinary people, so even without their mana, they were better miners, with one person being worth five or six people.
Such hard labor was not to be wasted.
In the eyes of the middle-aged man, Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple, as described by the Magistrate of Qiulong County, was just such a cultivator.
From this, it is clear... the intelligence capabilities of the Blood Gu Sect are not much better than those of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, it could also be that Qiulong County was really too remote.
Remote enough that even the intelligence of the Blood Gu Sect...
Had a significant delay.
...
"It’s... it’s Daoist Priest Fan of Qiulong Temple!" A constable holding a knife swallowed hard, his face full of fear as he looked at a man in front of him.
He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he felt that after a few months, seeing Daoist Priest Fan again...
He seemed a little taller than before.
The muscles on his body seemed a bit more exaggerated too.
And... he noticed that Head Arrestor Liu was standing behind Daoist Priest Fan. Despite Qiulong County being completely under the control of the Blood Bone Sect, Head Arrestor Liu was still his immediate superior.
This left the constable even more bewildered, and he couldn’t help asking Head Arrestor Liu, "Head Arrestor Liu... you, and Daoist Priest Fan, what are... what are you going to do? Don’t you know about the terror of the Blood Gu Sect?!"
He was worried that Head Arrestor Liu’s actions would lead to all the constables being implicated by the Blood Gu Sect’s wrath.
Oh no, that’s not right...
Actually, he was only worried about himself. As for whether the other constables of Qiulong County would be implicated by the Blood Gu Sect, what did it have to do with him?
The constable swallowed hard and looked at Fan Wu, continuing, "Daoist Priest Fan, you may not know what has happened in Qiulong County since you’ve just returned from outside. Killing an important person from the Blood Gu Sect like this, you will definitely be subjected to endless pursuit by the Blood Gu Sect. I advise you to surrender to the big shots of the Blood Gu Sect as soon as possible!"
Hearing what this guy had said,
Head Arrestor Liu, with an expression that clearly wanted to distance himself from this person, coldly responded, "I’m more aware of whether the Blood Gu Sect is terrifying than you are, but no matter how formidable the Blood Gu Sect is, in front of Daoist Priest Fan, they’re nothing!"
"Don’t even think about swaying Daoist Priest Fan to surrender to those people of the Blood Gu Sect. Do you think Daoist Priest Fan is like you, a coward afraid of death? I think you just want to use Daoist Priest Fan to earn yourself some merit, right?"
"You all..." Hearing Head Arrestor Liu’s extremely tough words, the Qiulong County constable’s face turned ugly: "Why are you all so stubbornly foolish..."
The key point was, Head Arrestor Liu had directly pierced through his hidden agenda.
This made his expression even uglier.
But the constable didn’t dare to act rashly, for a bloody corpse was lying on the ground, the bloody corpse of a Blood Gu Sect cultivator!
He, like the Government Official who had rushed in to report earlier, had watched in amazement as Fan Wu slapped the Blood Gu Sect cultivator to death!
This had scared him considerably.
"Quick, quick, quick!" Just then, a clamorous noise came from not far away. A crowd was seen hurrying over, led by someone. Among them were Government Officials from the county office who had defected to the Blood Gu Sect, as well as black-robed Sect Disciples.
The common trait among them was that each held a shiny new spear, with spearheads glinting coldly.
"It’s these two!" A Qiulong County Government Official leading the way pointed at Fan Wu and Head Arrestor Liu and shouted loudly.
Then this swarming crowd surrounded Fan Wu and Head Arrestor Liu.
Looking around, there were over a hundred people!
The cold gleam of their spearheads gave off a chilling sensation.
It seemed that if they took just a few more steps forward, they could turn Fan Wu and Head Arrestor Liu into two giant porcupines.
After seeing this,
The constable who had just tried to persuade Fan Wu and Head Arrestor Liu to surrender suddenly wore a smile on his face. He said to Fan Wu and Head Arrestor Liu, "If you had just listened to me, you wouldn’t have to die. Since you refuse to surrender, you can’t blame me for your deaths."
