Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 970 - 256: Heart Trembles, Faith is Shattering!
Actually... the reaction of the members of the Imperial City Division at this moment isn’t surprising at all. They could vaguely understand that it must be this man right in front of them who had slain the gigantic Gu creature. This Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple, who was currently in the limelight, was definitely not someone anyone dared to cross. Hadn’t they seen how the Blood Gu Sect’s gigantic Gu creature had died? It was chopped into pieces that were still falling on them!
Moreover, this Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple was also mingling with those two mad brothers, Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu. Anyone who could mingle with those lunatics, they felt, must not be too normal either. Facing such a character, they were extremely worried that a single careless remark might provoke him. If such a person were to cause a disturbance in Ying Tian City...
Hiss! They simply couldn’t imagine what such a scene would look like. But... since this Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple could so easily dispatch such a terrifying gigantic Gu creature, then the destruction he could cause if he were to rampage in Ying Tian City would absolutely be much greater. Even turning over a huge city, causing complete chaos, was not out of the question.
To avoid such an incident occurring in Ying Tian City, they didn’t care whether they behaved with the decorum expected of the Imperial City Division; they felt that anything they did to prevent such an event was justified. Now, maintaining such a humble attitude in front of this Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple, what did it really matter? They felt... their actions were justified and were not out of fear of this Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple.
There was no choice, they could only comfort themselves in their hearts in this way now. If they didn’t comfort themselves like this and admitted they were afraid of this Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple, it would be somewhat difficult for them to accept. After all, they were considered important figures in Ying Tian City, but now, they were actually scared of a young man, an outsider. If word got out, it would indeed be extremely embarrassing!
Of course, this thought only briefly crossed their minds, and they dared not voice it. Their gazes were all fixed on Fan Wu. They tried very hard to keep their expressions from becoming too stiff and instead tried to put on what they thought was a friendly demeanor. Although such an expression might not earn them any favor from this Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple, at least they thought he wouldn’t hit someone who smiles, right?
Then... they found that their actions appeared to be correct, because this Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple didn’t show any hostility or malice. While they were all a bit tense, they suddenly heard Fan Wu speak, "So, you all came specifically to thank me? Tsk tsk, it was just a little effort on my part, something done conveniently. There’s no need for such a big fuss coming here to thank me."
Could Fan Wu not see what these members of the Imperial City Division were thinking? How could he not see it? Their thoughts might be deeply hidden, but they couldn’t escape Fan Wu’s eyes. However, Fan Wu was in a good mood now, so he didn’t take a nasty pleasure in exposing their pretense but instead humorously played along with them.
"Do you have any other matters? If there’s nothing else, then I will be leaving." Fan Wu dropped such a remark and then looked at the few figures from the Imperial City Division in Ying Tian City with calm eyes. In the eyes of these big figures of the Imperial City Division, Fan Wu’s very calm gaze unexpectedly brought them an unprecedented pressure.
Although they themselves didn’t know where this kind of pressure came from—clearly this Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple wasn’t making things difficult for them—they couldn’t manage that much now and could only force a smile, hurriedly responding, "No more issues, no more issues! We just came to express our thanks, nothing else."
"Oh!" Fan Wu nodded slightly, and then he actually left. It’s worth mentioning that the Gu creature flesh that had fallen from the sky didn’t land on him at all. When it was about to hit him, it seemed as if it was blocked by an invisible barrier, keeping Fan Wu looking very clean.
If they hadn’t seen with their own eyes that Fan Wu had fallen from thousands of meters high, they would hardly believe that such a clean-looking person... had just engaged in such a huge battle with a monster from the Blood Gu Sect. When Fan Wu’s figure gradually disappeared from their sight, everyone let out a huge sigh of relief.
Everyone felt like a massive weight had been lifted off their shoulders, and the immense boulder hanging over their heads had finally settled down securely, without stirring up too much splash. The few men couldn’t help but exchange glances, clearly seeing on each other’s faces an expression of having survived a harrowing ordeal. They hadn’t expected to find themselves in such a disheveled state.
