Chapter 98: Chapter 87: Even the City God Can’t Discern Daoist Priest Fan’s Foundation! City God’s Command! (Seeking First Subscription)_2

"Without the aid of a divine image, mortals who see me will surely perish!"

"Naturally, I can control such power, allowing mortals to behold my true form without suffering too much harm. But that’s only temporary, once they return..."

"Within a few days, their souls will not be able to withstand the sight of ’too much,’ and they’ll crumble under the knowledge."

"Eventually, they will die violently."

The voice of the City God of Yinghe Prefecture paused for a moment before continuing, "Among mortals, you are quite strong. Seeing my true form, perhaps you could survive a few more days, or even a month, than ordinary people. But if you were to see ten Lords of Hell..."

"I can’t guarantee what would become of you. Perhaps, you would be assimilated into a part of the Underworld."

The City God of Yinghe Prefecture spoke in the calmest of tones,

Uttering the most spine-chilling words.

However...

After listening, Fan Wu

Didn’t feel much horror; instead, it piqued his curiosity.

To see the true form of a deity.

Would one fall into the abyss and embrace death? Or would one be assimilated into the Netherworld?

This sounded...

Quite severe, didn’t it?

Now it was his turn to scrutinize this City Lord God, and he was very interested to see... Did this City Lord God have any tentacles? Unfortunately, he couldn’t see any, so there probably weren’t any.

The City God continued, "You’re very composed, seemingly indifferent to all of this. Perhaps, it’s precisely because of such a mindset that you possess such strength at a young age."

"You remind me of myself back when I was a mere mortal, at the age of twenty-three, an unkempt scholar rushing to the capital to take the imperial examination."

"Later, due to various fortuitous circumstances and because I was so beloved by the people of Yinghe Prefecture, I was jointly granted a mandate by the Imperial Court of the human realm, the Underworld’s Yin Section, and the Nine Heavens Court..."

"Thus, I became the City God of this Yinghe Prefecture, and it has already been over a thousand years!"

Having said that,

He ceased reminiscing, and suddenly a chilling breeze stirred around us.

But this chill was unlike the eerie cold brought forth by evil beings.

On the contrary,

It gave a refreshing sensation.

"You exterminated the miscreant spirit that destroyed the City God’s Great Jail, for which you will be significantly credited. You also informed my Yin Envoy about the rogue Evil God in the countryside, that’s another significant credit."

"With two major merits combined, I can do something within my power for you."

The City God said, "If there’s anything you need, you may request it from me. Within the scope of my abilities, I will fulfill your wish."

A promise from a City God!

This scene... If other cultivators saw it, they’d be green with envy at Fan Wu.

For it was a promise from the City God! And not just anything, but the ability to ask for whatever one desired from the City God, not just settling for what the City God was willing to give!

That’s two different concepts!

Any cultivator, facing a situation like this, would be ecstatic for days and nights on end.

But...

Fan Wu seemed quite unimpressed.

"Can you capture a mighty miscreant spirit, beat it nearly to death, and then let me finish it off with a single sword strike?" Fan Wu stroked his chin, making such a request to the City God of Yinghe Prefecture.

"Hmm?" The City God’s tone carried a hint of surprise, "What an odd request. While it wouldn’t be difficult for me, I cannot simply seize the innocent creatures."

"And the guilty ones strong enough for you have already been thrown into the eighteen levels of hell to suffer. However..."

"If you know the exact location of that rogue Evil God in the countryside, I can capture Him."

Fan Wu knew the City God was referring to The Great Revered One.

The problem was that nobody knew where The Great Revered One was hiding.

How could he pinpoint The Great Revered One’s precise location to the City God?

It seemed, the idea of using the City God of Yinghe Prefecture to grind for Attribute Points was, for now, falling through!

No way around it, this City God was too righteous. He wasn’t flexible or slick enough.

If their positions and identities were swapped...

Well.

Fan Wu felt he would be just as upright!

How could he possibly capture a mighty miscreant spirit, frame it for something, then beat it half to death and use it as a token of gratitude?

That would be thinking very lowly of him, Fan Wu!

The scene quieted down again.

After a few moments of silence, the City God of Yinghe Prefecture spoke, "How about this... I shall gift you a City God’s Command of Yinghe Prefecture. Bearing this Command, ordinary Yin Section envoys will treat you with respect."

"Additionally, this City God’s Command is also a Magic Artifact, capable of suppressing demons and driving away evil. During the Yin Moon and Yin Days, with this Command, you can open a portal to the Underworld."

"When facing imminent danger, you may flee into the Underworld to avoid disaster."

"If you find the true body of that rogue Evil God, look for an opportunity to embed this City God’s Command into Him. The Command will mark Him with a seal."

"At that time, even if the rogue Evil God escapes to the ends of the earth, it will be futile!"

After the City God of Yinghe Prefecture finished speaking, a City God’s Command, similar to a Fire Talisman, slowly floated out from behind the divine image.

It drifted before Fan Wu.

Fan Wu reached out to grasp it in his hand. The moment he touched the City God’s Command, it felt as if he were holding a piece of ice.

Even someone with a physique like Fan Wu’s could feel the coldness.

That alone was proof of the City God’s Command’s extraordinary nature.

Fan Wu thought its appearance resembled those Fire Talismans from historical dramas in his previous life, the kind that a county magistrate would throw out when ordering an immediate execution with a shout of "Behead at once!"
