Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 969 - 255: Slaying the Giant Gu Insect! The Image of the Imperial City Division Has Collapsed!_4
The Imperial City Division’s Third Rank Commandant was likewise dumbstruck. He finally understood why he found the man before him so familiar. Wasn’t this man Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple, whose name had been on everyone’s lips these days? He even recalled seeing a portrait of the man!
Wait... wait a minute! Didn’t this mean that the person who had killed that giant insect and saved the vast Ying Tian City wasn’t the Terrestrial Sword Immortal that he had in mind, nor some aged cultivator he had imagined, but this Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple?
The Imperial City Division’s Third Rank Commandant was utterly bewildered! And the few people behind him were no fools either. Witnessing this scene, they began to connect all the dots. All the critical elements combined, and they too looked flabbergasted.
"Did you all make a special trip here?" Fan Wu glanced at the group, his tone light and teasing as he spoke. "All big shots from Ying Tian City, aren’t you? Either a Third Rank Commandant or a First Rank Junior Commandant, and there are even two First Rank Junior Commandants."
"So, have you come all this way just to throw me, a poor Daoist, into the dungeon?" Fan Wu chuckled as he continued, "After all..."
"In your Shangwu Dynasty, some of the things I’ve done must not be particularly well-received by the Imperial Court of the Commerce Dynasty, right?"
Arrest... Arrest who? Arrest this Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple right before them? What a joke! Was such a person even someone they could arrest?
Or to put it another way... Did these men from the Imperial City Division truly have the qualifications to arrest such a person? Having climbed to their positions within the Imperial City Division, none of them were idiots.
Even though people from the Shangwu Dynasty were generally hot-tempered and often preferred to solve problems with their fists, they would still be forced to use their brains when faced with such a situation.
Because their subconscious minds were telling them that if they didn’t use their brains, it would be their heads that were going to be missing!
"A misunderstanding," The Imperial City Division’s Third Rank Commandant immediately opened his mouth to explain. "We... weren’t here to apprehend your Excellency."
Even though he knew taking this man into custody would be a great merit, he didn’t dare to do it.
This man had just effortlessly resolved such a horrifying giant insect in front of all of them.
Chunks of insect flesh were still raining down from the sky!
Under such circumstances, who would dare arrest this man?!
If someone did have the guts to do so...
That would undoubtedly make them the world’s bravest warrior!
The Imperial City Division’s Third Rank Commandant realized his attitude was too humble. He knew he should adjust it slightly to avoid losing the Imperial Court’s face. But he fretted that if he corrected his attitude too much, would it displease this Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple?
Damn it all! Why... Why was the person who killed the giant insect this man?! Wasn’t he from the Great Zhou Dynasty? Why would he lift a finger to save people from the Shangwu Dynasty?
The Imperial City Division’s Third Rank Commandant was on the verge of tears!
"I... I..." His thoughts raced like lightning before he finally uttered, "We came specifically to express our gratitude to your Excellency for saving Ying Tian City. If it weren’t for your intervention, who knows how much more destruction that giant insect would have caused, how many lives it would have claimed."
Yes!
He was thanking Fan Wu!
"Yes! Yes!" An anxious voice echoed from behind, the voice of the Third Rank Commandant: "The Third Rank Commandant is right, we came especially to thank your Excellency. You are indeed the savior of Ying Tian City!"
"Exactly! Exactly!" The other two joined in unison, nodding hurriedly: "That’s exactly what we think too!"
If their subordinates saw them behaving in such a manner...
Their reputations within the Imperial City Division of Ying Tian City...
Would collapse in an instant!
