Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 1002 - 270: Not a Deity, but a Human! _2

"Moreover, I am not some kind of immortal. I’m just a common man, nothing more," Fan Wu explained, then lowered his head to look at the young Taoist acolyte. Under the acolyte’s visibly frightened expression, Fan Wu asked, "I fell from the sky and I’m not sure if I’ve landed in the wrong place. What is this place?"

Indeed! The Water Virtue Star Lord had not deceived Fan Wu; falling from the sky... truly could reach the mortal realm. He didn’t know how long he had been falling. Perhaps... it was half an hour, or maybe an hour? Anyway, Fan Wu felt it had been quite a long time, as he had grown somewhat impatient with the descent.

No wonder when some cultivators used special techniques to request the descent of an immortal’s consciousness to exorcise demons, it took so long. It turned out that the distance between the mortal realm and the Heavenly Court was so vast that it would daunt even divinities of modest power.

"You... you... you’re not an immortal? But how could a mortal fall from the sky? Shouldn’t mortals live on the ground like us? Could it be that there are also people who, just like immortals, live in the sky?" The young Taoist’s voice trembled as he asked these questions.

"Ah? Me?" Fan Wu laughed. In the most nonchalant tone, he said something utterly sensational, "I don’t live in the sky. I went up there to kill an immortal, and now that I have killed him, I’ve come back."

"Wha... What? Kill... kill an immortal? How could... an immortal be killed? No, no, that’s not right! Immortals can’t possibly die!" Clearly, Fan Wu’s words had terrified the young acolyte, making his voice quake with fear.

"But the thing is, immortals can indeed die." After saying this, Fan Wu continued to ask, "You, young Taoist, haven’t yet told me where exactly we are?"

"This is... the Shangwu Dynasty." Faced with Fan Wu’s question, the young acolyte did not dare not to answer, because he thought the man before him was very frightening!

"The Shangwu Dynasty? It seems I haven’t veered too far off course." Fan Wu nodded and then asked further, "Do you know how far this place is from Ying Tian City?"

"Ying Tian City? That name sounds familiar. If it sounds familiar to me, it probably isn’t too far away, I guess?"

The young Taoist acolyte had spent all his years within the Taoist temple and had never ventured outside. His knowledge of the outside world was limited to what he had heard from others.

Still, Fan Wu trusted him. If this place was not very far from Ying Tian City, then it should be fine.

Fan Wu had thought he might have landed quite far off.

"Do you know if there is a Kannan Village nearby?"

Fan Wu’s question became a bit more detailed.

Confronted with such a question, the young Taoist admitted complete ignorance. He shook his head blankly, an expression of innocence that couldn’t be faked--he really didn’t know. But it seemed that he had just thought of something, and he hurriedly replied, "My Senior Brothers are nearby, and among them, many have ventured out to experience the world before. They surely know where Kannan Village is. And they are very powerful, you... you shouldn’t mess around!"

In this somewhat terrified and inexplicable situation, all he could do was to put forward his group of Senior Brothers as shields or to wave their reputations like a banner, hoping to deter the towering stranger before him by the renown of his peers. What he didn’t know was that to Fan Wu, that group of Senior Brothers was merely so-so. Fan Wu nodded and said, "Your Senior Brothers know? Then I’ll go and ask them!"

After saying this, Fan Wu astonishingly grabbed the back collar of the young acolyte’s garment as if picking up a kitten, and amid the youngster’s scream, he lifted him. Fan Wu then took a step forward, crossing what seemed like a hundred paces in a single stride! In the blink of an eye, they were outside the large pit he had created upon landing and appeared behind a group of Taoists.

"Goodness! Why did that young disciple act so rashly, running down there? If anything happens to him, our master... surely won’t let us off! You know, our master is quite fond of the young disciple." A Taoist panicked and paced back and forth, "I thought I heard a scream from down there just now. Has something happened to him?"

"It’s all you lot’s fault for pranking the young disciple. To think he’s still taking that piece of worthless Spirit Talisman seriously, believing it’s something from an immortal falling from the sky? That torn talisman... it was just scribbled by our Senior Brother, completely useless!" Someone was shirking the blame and grumbling, "In any case, this has nothing to do with me."

"How is it none of your business? Are you daring to say you don’t have a part in this? What’s crucial now is whether we should go down there and rescue our little junior brother, or should we all go down together to see exactly what that thing is down there? In any case, I’m too scared to go alone; you must accompany me, otherwise... I won’t go either!"

While some Taoists were frantically panicking and others hurriedly shifting blame, a somewhat dazed voice of a young novice came from behind them, "It turns out... the Spirit Talisman that Senior Brother gave me was just a casually drawn piece of paper, completely useless, incapable of summoning immortals."

"It turns out, you all have been deceiving me... The way you smiled so happily before was actually mocking me." Such a voice stunned the group of Taoists. They hurriedly turned around and found that their little junior brother had, at some point, appeared behind them!

But at this time, these Taoists didn’t pay too much attention to the young novice. Instead, they cast their terrified gazes upon Fan Wu. The tall and burly Fan Wu exuded an aura that hooked the innate fear within the hearts of the Taoists.

"The person in that big pit... seems to have disappeared!" blurted out a slow-reacting Taoist, only to find that everyone around him was looking back. With a look of astonishment on his face, he too turned to look behind.

Then he saw that an unfamiliar person had suddenly appeared behind them, and so had the little junior brother... who also stood behind them. Moreover, this stranger who had appeared behind them seemed just as tall as the figure in the big pit.

No... could it be? The stranger who had appeared suddenly behind them, could they actually be the person from the big pit? The stranger’s clothes appeared somewhat charred, as if they had been burned by fire.

Hiss! Wait a minute! Could it be possible that what fell from the sky wasn’t a meteorite but a live person? And that this live person was now right behind them?

Such an idea spontaneously popped up in the minds of all the Taoists. The thought was definitely absurd, but it seemed to be the only explanation.

"Does anyone of you know... where Kannan Village is?" Fan Wu scanned the Taoists with a very calm tone as he asked such a question.

Under the subtle yet imposing presence he exuded, none of the Taoists dared not to answer.

One of the Taoists swallowed nervously, then quickly responded, "I... I think... I know."

"Oh?" Fan Wu looked at the Taoist, "Then tell us, where is it?"

The Taoist trembled, "I remember one time when I was descending the mountain for training, I passed through Kannan Village."

"It... it should be to the west of the Taoist Temple."

"Probably..."

"Roughly twenty-some li away?!"

"..."
