Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 996 - 267: Water Virtue Star Lord! _2

Watching Fan Wu approach him, both He Bian and He Jian, the Deity Generals who were also severely injured, immediately came together, eyeing Fan Wu warily. Among them, He Jian even swallowed his saliva and hurriedly accused, "Do you not realize that this is the Heavenly Court? You have committed a grave sin by killing an immortal. If you attack again, it will be an indelible crime of death!"

From the tone of his speech, it was evident that he was quite panic-stricken at that moment. After all, no one wishes to die, not even an immortal. Being a Deity General in golden armor, enjoying such a carefree and lively life, how could he possibly wish to die? In any case, He Jian did not want to die. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Why would you think that I want to kill you?" Fan Wu’s counter-question made He Jian stunned. Fan Wu’s voice continued, "Although I indeed intended to kill you, it clearly does not match my character."

If his thoughts were to follow his own greed, Fan Wu would have long since made the deadly move and dealt with these Heavenly Soldiers and the two Deity Generals in golden armor.

After all, so many Heavenly Soldiers with a Power attribute exceeding two hundred, along with the two Deity Generals with a Power attribute over five hundred.

How many Free Attribute Points could they potentially bring to Fan Wu?

Nevertheless, it was obvious that Fan Wu was not a man filled with greed; he would not engage in a massacre just to acquire more Free Attribute Points. That would clearly contradict his character, his actions, and his moral beliefs. After pausing for a moment, Fan Wu continued, "If only you had let me speak more, it wouldn’t have come to this situation."

Thus, in such a strange and quiet atmosphere, Fan Wu explained the reason why he invaded the Heavenly Court and also spoke about some of the deeds done by Immortal Jiao on earth. In the end, Fan Wu even added, "Believe it or not, that is all I have to say. If you care enough, you can check it yourself."

The words spoken by him left the two Deity Generals and the numerous Heavenly Soldiers behind them utterly dumbfounded. Honestly, they did not quite believe Fan Wu’s words, but why would a man who could easily take their lives need to deceive them under such circumstances?

Why would he utter such words to deceive them if he could simply take their lives effortlessly? Could it be that this common man’s words were all true? Did he only come to the Heavenly Court to punish a wicked immortal?

With a skeptical attitude, He Jian swallowed his saliva and said to Fan Wu, "If what you say is true, the Heavenly Court will naturally conduct an investigation."

"But the fact that you injured so many Heavenly Soldiers and Generals within the Heavenly Court remains undeniable."

"What you have done already constitutes a violation of heaven..."

He had yet to finish his sentence when suddenly his tone halted. At that moment, he sensed a very familiar presence! Instantly, He Jian quickly turned around and saw a propitious cloud swiftly approaching. The moment he saw the propitious cloud, he recognized who it was, as the figure was extremely famous within the Heavenly Court.

"Water Virtue Star Lord!" exclaimed He Jian in shock, not expecting such a high-ranking celestial being of the Heavenly Court to arrive here. When Water Virtue Star Lord descended, He Jian quickly came to his senses. He tugged at his brother’s arm beside him, barely enduring the pain from his injuries, and hurriedly greeted the figure, "Your subordinate greets Water Virtue Star Lord!"

The figure dressed in an exquisitely splendid celestial robe, the attire looking strikingly brilliant. From the appearance, it was clear that he was male. He appeared to be middle-aged and sported a very long black beard. In his left hand, he held a horsetail whisk; in his right, a bronze bowl.

"My two Generals, this has been a misunderstanding," Water Virtue Star Lord said upon arrival, his tone quite amiable without the airs of a Great Immortal. He glanced around, swayed his horsetail whisk gently, and suddenly, a deep blue auspicious light flickered.

Then, both He Bian and He Jian, the two Deity Generals, as well as the hundreds of Heavenly Soldiers, saw their damaged armors and broken Immortal Artifacts miraculously restore themselves to their original state at a visible speed.

Furthermore, their wounds healed rapidly and before long, they appeared completely unscathed.

Even the destroyed Immortal Palace Mansion had been restored.

However, Immortal Jiao, who had been killed by Fan Wu, could not be brought back to life. It was unclear whether Water Virtue Star Lord lacked the ability or simply did not wish for his resurrection. Soon after, Water Virtue Star Lord spoke, "Leave this matter to me. What Fan Wu said is correct—Immortal Jiao did indeed commit those vile acts, even more so than what Fan Wu described."

Fan Wu? Could it be that the mortal who inflicted such damage is named Fan Wu? A group of Heavenly Soldiers and two Deity Generals in Golden Armor exchanged looks, surprised that such a high-level Great Immortal as Water Virtue Star Lord would vouch for a mortal. Moreover, this endorsement by a Great Immortal—could it mean that what this mortal named Fan Wu said was true?

Was this all a misunderstanding from the beginning? Had there really been no need for an altercation at all? Perhaps it was their hurried nature and excessive pride as immortals—that prevented them from allowing a mortal to explain himself before them. On reflecting, a group of immortals felt quite awkward.

"I can’t believe that in such a short period of time, you’ve changed so significantly," Water Virtue Star Lord ignored the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and fixed his gaze on Fan Wu, uttering such a sigh.

At the same time, he also focused on the shadow of the Ghost-Killing Path behind Fan Wu. The massive form of the Ghost-Killing Path certainly drew Water Virtue Star Lord’s attention.

Water Virtue Star Lord was amazed, "The Ghost-Killing Path I duplicated for you has been refined by you to such a level."

"Aren’t you exaggerating a bit too much?"

Water Virtue Star Lord and Fan Wu could be considered old acquaintances. Although they had not formally met before, they interacted for some time because of The Great Revered One. Previously, when The Great Revered One was involved in certain matters, he disrespected one of Water Virtue Star Lord’s earthly deity statues, infuriating Water Virtue Star Lord. Unfortunately, that statue had no power, leaving Water Virtue Star Lord impotent in his rage.

At that time, Fan Wu had intervened and dealt with The Great Revered One’s incarnation, gaining the favor of Water Virtue Star Lord. It was then that Water Virtue Star Lord gifted Fan Wu with the shadow of the Ghost-Killing Path. Over the years, "Fan Wu" might be the only mortal name Water Virtue Star Lord remembered.

Suddenly sensing the aura of the Ghost-Killing Path’s duplicate in the Heavenly Court, Water Virtue Star Lord initially thought he had sensed it wrongly. After calculating briefly and realizing that something was amiss, he understood the situation as he delved deeper.

Such a high-level Great Immortal as he would not be deceived by the deeds of Immortal Jiao once he seriously calculated.

"I have seen Water Virtue Star Lord," Fan Wu greeted politely.

After all, he had received a useful skill from him in the past.

This skill... had indeed been a great help to him, Fan Wu.
