Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 128 - 97: The County Town Controlled by the Witch Immortal! Purity, Too Low! (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
Soon.
Several people walking along the dirt road became clearer in appearance and form.
"Huh?" A government official recalled something and alerted the officer ahead with a shocked voice, "Sir, among those people ahead, I remember two of them! Those two skinny ones are a pair of hunter brothers from Dawu Village!"
"Even though they look almost unrecognizable thin, I can still barely make them out! But the others, I don’t recognize."
Hunters from Dawu Village? Villagers? Were there really villagers from Dawu Village in Shuize County who dared to return to Dawu Village?
The officer was just about to respond.
But then he noticed in that group, the attire of two people, which he found quite jarring!
One wearing a Daoist robe!
One wearing a monk’s habit!
"Taoist Priest?"
"Monk?"
The officer’s expression grew darker, as if it would be okay if they were just two swindlers from the martial world, but if they were indeed a real Taoist Priest and a real Monk...
Such Cultivators coming to Shuize County would definitely sense that something was amiss, and they had to be dealt with!
However...
Why would a Taoist Priest and a Monk come here out of the blue?
Did those two hunter brothers from Dawu Village bring them here?
Did they tell outsiders about what was happening in Shuize County?
No, that’s not right.
If they truly talked about these events, even if they only wanted to write it on paper or even just thought about telling someone else... they would suffer the divine punishment from the Witch Immortal!
It would be impossible to fully disclose what happened, not to mention that the two of them, still alive and kicking, brought two Cultivators here.
It couldn’t be that the Witch Immortal’s divine punishment was ineffective, could it?
Impossible!
The Witch Immortal, with such great divine power, how could the divine punishment suddenly become ineffective?
There must be something fishy going on!
...
"Daoist Priest Fan! That way... leads directly to Dawu Village in Shuize County! But... I remember there weren’t any government officials guarding here when we sneaked out!"
Wu Heishan pointed ahead anxiously, "But now, there are several government officials, and it seems they have noticed us."
"Daoist Priest Fan, are we going to go through this road? Shall we change our path?"
"I remember there is another..."
"There’s no need." Fan Wu looked towards the group of five people not far away. He could see above their heads, a general information of attributes, and he spoke, "If we were to detour every time we encounter someone, when would we ever set foot into the Shuize County that lies within arm’s reach?"

[Follower of the Witch Immortal disguised as government official A - Life: 206 - Power: 4.22 - Skills: Immortality Technique of the Nine Heavens Witch Immortal]
[Followers of the Witch Immortal...]
[...]
Four government officials, one officer, but none were genuine government officials or officer... they were the followers of the Witch Immortal that Fan Wu was familiar with!
However, unlike the followers of the Witch Immortal he had encountered before, they were not wearing black robes or an iron mask, but rather showing their normal faces bravely.
Their faces had skin, unlike those previous followers of the Witch Immortal, whose faces had muscles but no skin.
But...
With his sharp vision, Fan Wu noticed that one "government official" had a faint trace along the neck. The line ran across the entire neck, giving the impression that he was wearing a very delicate human skin mask.
And they all wore gloves on their hands.
As if they did not want people to see what their hands looked like.
"Amitabha, are those government officials who collude with sinister creatures and harm the people?" Monk Zhi Kong narrowed his eyes and glared angrily at the five people in front of him.
He took a deep breath slowly, "It seems to me that from these people, I can see the unhideable sins and karmic barriers."
Yun Jiuqing immediately frowned in disgust, "So, are you saying that all these sanctimonious hypocrites are the accomplices of evil?"
She hissed between her teeth, "As officers of the Imperial Court, drawing a salary from the court, yet they commit such atrocities!"
"These people are unforgivable!!"
"They may still be drawing salaries from the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they are not officers of the Imperial Court." Fan Wu’s voice echoed leisurely, "They are nothing but rats wearing human skin. As for the real officials of Shuize County, I’m afraid they fell into their hands more than two years ago."
"What?" Yun Jiuqing widened her eyes in shock, "Do you mean... these people killed local Imperial Court officials and then used their means to take their identities?"
"Hmm," Fan Wu responded.
"Hiss!!!" Yun Jiuqing looked shattered, disbelievingly saying, "How dare they do this?!"
"Who knows," Fan Wu didn’t share Yun Jiuqing’s anger and frustration.
Instead, he revealed a ferocious smile, "Perhaps they are mad for immortality and everlasting life!"
He paid no mind to the few people in front, disguised as local officers.
Fan Wu stepped forward.
He walked straight ahead.
When he got within ten steps of the five people opposite him, the follower of the Witch Immortal dressed as an officer addressed Fan Wu first, yelling with an austere tone, "Halt! Who are you, Taoist Priest? Where do you come from, and what is your purpose in Shuize County?"
