Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 981 - 260: Fan Wu Ascends to the Immortal Realm, Approaches the Heavenly Court!
With a casual slap, blowing up a bandit chief’s head like this and the Free Attribute Points obtained were negligible for Fan Wu. Such a tiny amount of Free Attribute Points wasn’t even enough to be considered spare change in his balance; he even ignored the kill prompt that popped up from the attribute system. Because such a minion... truly required no concern. At this moment, he pondered how he could make this so-called Immortal Jiao take the initiative to show himself.
Fan Wu was not quite sure whether the Immortal Jiao mentioned by the others was truly a divine immortal, an Evil God, or some Demons and Devils or evil spirit masquerading as an immortal. After all, he did not have the power of foreknowledge, and moreover... he had forgotten to consult the Destiny Coffin before arriving here. However, if this Immortal Jiao was very powerful, the Destiny Coffin’s ability would be of no use either, because the Destiny Coffin had its limits and couldn’t foresee such formidable beings.
Just like... the Destiny Coffin previously hadn’t been able to predict Fan Wu’s true heritage. It also couldn’t foresee that there was a system inside Fan Wu. It wasn’t omnipotent; it had its limits. After a brief consideration, Fan Wu decided to still search this bandit lair thoroughly. Perhaps within this den of thieves, there might be some clues.
Fan Wu discerned carefully the various scents permeating the air. Although the strong smell of blood from the corpses was overwhelming, many subtle details of odor had not escaped his sense of smell. Because of his extremely sensitive nose, Fan Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, caught a whiff of an unusual scent, and murmured to himself, "It seems like I smell a hint... of incense."
If he wasn’t mistaken, there should be something enshrined within this bandit den, which was why there was the smell of incense. Following the scent, he walked in one direction, ignoring the corpses on the ground. Before long, he arrived at a part of the mountain stronghold—this was a building that seemed somewhat out of place compared to the other structures in the stronghold.
It was because this building did not match the bandits’ style at all, rather, it looked more like a small temple consecrating some divine immortal. The temple wasn’t very large, looking about the same as an Earth Temple in an ordinary small county town. But on second thought, that was actually understandable since the bandit lair wasn’t particularly large either. A small bandit den wouldn’t possibly be able to accommodate a large temple, would it?
Fan Wu didn’t care whether there were any traps or conspiracies within this temple; he kicked open the temple’s door and stepped in. Inside, he saw people, but they were not bandits, they were... several children. They were boys and girls bound and locked inside cages.
Their mouths were roughly gagged with cloth by the bandits, unable to make a sound. When they saw someone burst in, and when they saw Fan Wu, their faces all showed extremely frightened expressions. Clearly, they mistook Fan Wu, who had suddenly barged in, for one of the bandits from the stronghold.
Fan Wu’s brows slowly furrowed; having a group of children here seemed rather inappropriate for taking action. These kids must be the ones kidnapped from the foot of the mountain by the bandits of the stronghold, right? He also heard some noises from other parts of the stronghold, seemingly not from bandits. It looked like there were other people kidnapped by the bandits elsewhere. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Then Fan Wu turned his gaze to the deity statue standing in the center of the temple. The statue, judging by its appearance, didn’t resemble Demons and Devils or any grotesque Evil God. It was the image of a normal Immortal Official, and in fact, it even gave off a rather amiable and affable vibe. But juxtaposed with the imprisoned children, the image seemed rather ironic.
Fan Wu walked over, dismantled the cages holding the children, and ripped the cloth from their mouths, only to hear a burst of loud wailing. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He didn’t think he looked particularly frightening; why did these little brats burst into tears upon seeing him?
"Quiet down." Naturally, Fan Wu had a way to deal with the wailing children; he simply uttered two words, and a slight release of his aura frightened them into stopping their crying. Then he led the group of children to find other living people in the stronghold.
He then saw a group of women confined in the dungeons of the stronghold. These women were scantily clad, and there were roughly a dozen or so of them. From their gazes, one could tell they had become incredibly numb, as if they had lost the will to live.
Seeing these people, Fan Wu knew that it was correct, and without mistake, to have slaughtered the entire bandit lair, leaving not a single bandit alive. Such scum didn’t deserve to live in this world, nor did they deserve to have even a chance at reincarnation.
