Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 1043 - 298: Arrival!

"National Master, that Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple seems not to fear the surging public opinion, and his strength is indeed exaggerated to an unbelievable level," the old steward of the National Teacher’s Mansion reported to Shi Wangdao. "He was actually able to defeat so many people by himself—furthermore, he even stunned them all!"

At this very moment, the person reporting the situation to Shi Wangdao was clearly the old steward from within the National Teacher’s Mansion.

While reporting, the old steward didn’t dare to raise his head, clearly showing his genuine respect and hundred percent admiration for the National Master of the Shangwu Dynasty.

Moreover, as the steward of the National Teacher’s Mansion, he naturally knew many secrets unknown to others, which he had kept to himself over the years.

Because he felt that everything the National Master did had its own reasoning, which others could not comprehend or grasp the mystery of.

In short... he had been thoroughly brainwashed.

However, the face of the National Master of the Shangwu Dynasty did not show a hint of disappointment or anger; instead, it was filled with smiles, "This is how it should be! The more chaotic the world becomes, the better, haha!"

After saying this, Shi Wangdao’s face showed a hint of an intrigued expression, "After this incident, I’m afraid no one will dare to stop that Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple. Which means, it shouldn’t be long before this person appears before me, the National Master."

Upon hearing this, the old steward hurriedly expressed his loyalty, immediately saying to Shi Wangdao, "Please rest assured, National Master, with this servant here, I will absolutely not let that Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple harm even a hair on your head!"

Shi Wangdao smiled and said, "Let’s forget about it. With your power, you might barely manage to deal with those who have cultivated for a few hundred or a thousand years... but against such a monster, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to withstand even one of his moves."

His face was filled with eager anticipation as he said, "Speaking of which, it has been a very long time since I took action myself—so long that I have even forgotten just how long it has been. Is it ten years, or twenty years? Or is it a hundred thousand years or two hundred thousand years?"

The last part, revealed through his tone, was shocking, and the look of anticipation on his face was certainly not feigned.

Shi Wangdao continued, "Although I don’t like resorting to violence, sometimes it’s alright to stretch my muscles a bit, even if it’s just a minor physical body."

What happened next precisely corroborated what Shi Wangdao had said; the uprising public opinion that had ignited throughout the Imperial City of the Shangwu Dynasty was completely quelled by Fan Wu’s few punches and kicks, with no one daring to stop him.

Then some civilians of the Shangwu Dynasty discovered that Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple was not the man-eating fiend the rumors made him out to be, as he had not laid a hand on them when he passed by their homes.

"What is his goal, exactly? He doesn’t eat people, he doesn’t seem greedy for money nor does he engage in lecherous acts. Is he just simply trying to find trouble with the National Master? What is his purpose in doing all this? Does the National Master possess something he needs?"

Regarding the current situation of the entire Shangwu Dynasty, some were utterly baffled and had no idea what Fan Wu was truly after.

"Perhaps he really believed the slanderous words of the brothers Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu, so he wants to uncover the truth? But the question is, would a being of such strength really believe such rumors? Might it be... that the rumors about the National Master actually hold some possibility of truth, which is why such a powerful individual is causing such a scene in the Imperial City?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"How could that be? And if his target were only the National Master, why would he attempt to assassinate His Majesty? This completely defies logic—I think this man is simply a madman!"

"Shh! Have you got a death wish? Didn’t you see how many corpses there were yesterday from those who tried to deal with Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple? And those who fainted, at least half of them haven’t woken up yet. Do you think you’re mightier than those cultivators? He could probably knock you out with just a glance."

"So are we just going to watch as this guy goes off to trouble the National Master? Our Shangwu Dynasty’s prosperity is inseparably linked to the National Master! Fan Wu has already assassinated His Majesty—do we really let this guy go on to assassinate the National Master too?"

"Since you’re so filled with righteous indignation, why don’t you go and stop Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple? Maybe you could actually hold him back. Then, you’d be the great hero of the entire Dynasty, how about that? Maybe the reward promised by the Imperial Court will be given to you."

"Ah, well... cough cough! I’m just a silk shop owner, what power do I have to stop such a lunatic?"

"..."

At the end of the day, it was the deeds of Fan Wu the day before that had intimidated everyone from top to bottom in the Shangwu Dynasty.

Whether the Great Clans or the common people, everyone was shocked and nobody was not astonished.

The appearance of such a man, capable of confronting a dynasty all by himself, truly challenged everyone’s understanding.

If someone had told them before that such a person existed in the world, they would likely have thought the person telling them was outright insane.

But now, they found such a man in the Imperial City of the Shangwu Dynasty, and his purpose was far from simple!

As time ticked by, with news spreading ever further, the entire Shangwu Dynasty fell under a cloud of shadow.

No one knew what would happen next, or where fate was headed.

Until... Fan Wu, who had walked all the way to the National Teacher’s Mansion of the Shangwu Dynasty, finally stopped in his tracks.

The journey was unobstructed, as no one dared to block the way.

For that reason, what would usually be a long journey was halved in time. In less than a week, he had arrived at this location.

"This shithole, Brother Fan Wu, is none other than the damn National Master’s Mansion!" said Yan Dalong with a grave expression. "That damn National Master is certainly not simple. The last time we snuck in here to assassinate the guy, we were driven out by the people inside."

"The folks inside the mansion are formidable, and that damn National Master himself is likely even more so!"
