Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 672 -672: When the Map Ends, the Dagger Appears (Part 2)

When he spoke, Sima Changming’s eyes were fixed on Wang Chen with undisguised threatening intent.

It was just short of saying directly to Wang Chen, “Don’t force me to punish you if your respect is lacking!”

Not only that, but the Supervisor of the Supervisory Court of the Demon Den also exerted a pressuring aura on Wang Chen.

The might of a peak Purple Mansion!

For an ordinary Purple Mansion, it would be very difficult to withstand such coercion.

However, Wang Chen remained unfazed, smiling as he said, “Steward Sima, I think you have misunderstood.”

...

“Misunderstood?”

Sima Changming was clearly taken aback.

He had anticipated all sorts of reactions from Wang Chen and had prepared his arguments accordingly to ensure that Wang Chen would comply without fail.

He never expected Wang Chen to remain so calm!

And his sordid intentions seemed as if they had been completely seen through by Wang Chen.

The irritated Purple Mansion asked, “What have I misunderstood?”

In his heart, he swore secretly that if Wang Chen dared to toy with him, he would make the latter taste regret.

“The reason why a junior cultivator can be unaffected by the Yin Sha Energy in the Demon Den…”

Wang Chen leisurely rolled up his sleeve, revealing his right arm, “is because I have cultivated the Divine Body Refining Technique of the Buddhist Sect, the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method!”

Before the words had fully left his mouth, his arm suddenly swelled, muscles bulging and veins popping, Qi-Blood surging through the skin, displaying an explosive state of ultimate strength.

Simultaneously, the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Aspect abruptly appeared behind Wang Chen!

This time, Sima Changming was truly stunned.

Or to be more precise, he was confounded by Wang Chen’s display of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method.

“A junior cultivator has no treasures; what he relies on is precisely this cultivation technique.”

Wang Chen pulled his sleeve back down, covering the bulging muscles on his arm, “I’m sorry to have disappointed you, Steward.”

“Hmph!”

After the shame and anger, Sima Changming burst into a furious rage, abruptly standing up and saying, “Don’t think you can fool everyone like this, we’ll see who ends up crying!”

Having said that, he stormed out of Free Residence, full of anger.

Wang Chen remained seated, tapping his fingers lightly on the table a few times.

Since joining the Forbidden Prison Department and becoming a prison guard at the Yongle Dungeon, to ending up here as if exiled, Wang Chen’s journey into “residence” had been incredibly rough, filled with uncertainties.

In fact, he had been very low-key already, not provoking trouble lightly and deliberately keeping away from those controversial figures.

To avoid attracting trouble.

Yet still, he found himself entangled in someone else’s schemes!

Wang Chen didn’t even know if his explanation could truly fool Sima Changming and the influence behind Sima Changming.

Actually, it was mainly because Wang Chen had misjudged his own low profile.

Someone like him, a prison guard without any background or clan, a Loose Cultivator who was isolated, managed to live comfortably in a dungeon that everyone else sought desperately to avoid.

A normal cultivator, once in the dungeon, if without the support of Spirit Pills, wouldn’t last more than two or three days.

Qi-Blood depletion and a sluggish Divine Soul were very common outcomes.

The fact that Wang Chen was unscathed was suspicious!

Therefore, he had caught the attention of certain people, leading to multiple exiles and banishments.

This was to test Wang Chen’s limits, to have him expose his secrets on his own.

Today, someone had finally run out of patience!

Wang Chen did not fully understand the significance of being immune to the attack of Yin Sha Energy. Even a Golden Core Cultivator wouldn’t dare say they were unaffected by Yin Sha Energy.

This was bound to arouse envy!

Wang Chen’s excuse of practicing the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method was theoretically sound.

The Haotian Realm also had the presence of the Buddhist Sect.

But he was not certain he could dispel the others’ greed.

Some people, even if they know they are wrong, would persist in their error rather than admit defeat and lose face.

Intuition told Wang Chen that Sima Changming would not be content!

But for the time being, Wang Chen had no strategy at his disposal, he could not deal with a Steward, so he reduced the time he spent outside and stopped the actions that earned him Human Virtue points.

He spent more time cultivating in the Free Residence.

As days passed by, just when Wang Chen thought Sima Changming had put away his ambitions and would not make another move, the scenario he didn’t wish to see still occurred.

“Wang Chen!”

This time, Sima Changming did not come in uninvited to wait for Wang Chen in the Free Residence but started making a commotion outside, in a tone that seemed to wish the whole world knew.

When Wang Chen opened the gate, he saw Sima Changming standing at the front, with a cultivator seated on a cloud chariot behind him.

Golden Core True Person!

Wang Chen recognized at a glance the realm of the cultivator on the cloud chariot—the level of a Golden Core.

His heart suddenly sank.

Sima Changming had actually invited a True Person.

Or could it be that this True Person was the puppeteer behind the scenes?

Upon seeing Wang Chen come out, Sima Changming immediately shouted, “Wang Chen, why aren’t you kneeling down to pay respects to True Person Ye right away!”

Kneel and pay respects?

Wang Chen thought this guy must have gone crazy.

He bowed to True Person Ye on the cloud chariot, saying, “Junior Wang Chen, greets True Person Ye!”

“No need for such formalities.”

The True Person had an elegant demeanor and a distinguished appearance, giving a slight smile, he said, “I had only heard of you but never met you; it’s a true acquaintance this time, what a pity…”

What a pity he did not say, but his gaze was filled with pity from beginning to end.

The next moment, Wang Chen stepped out of the threshold, leaving the control range of the Free Residence’s defensive array.

His figure instantly vanished on the spot!

This change surprised both True Person Ye and Sima Changming, who absolutely did not expect such a reaction from Wang Chen.

Did he run away?

The problem was that Wang Chen was responsible for guarding the Northern Evil Eye, and although he was part of the Forbidden Prison Department, he had no significant status to speak of. Let alone escaping the Yongle Dungeon, even if he got out, where could he run to?

“Hmph!”

True Person Ye snorted coldly, reached out his hand towards the right, and grabbed into the void.

At the same moment, a gigantic palm emerged out of thin air, carrying the sound of thunder, and heavily struck the spot where Wang Chen reappeared.

Wang Chen dared not face it head-on and immediately flew backward, seeking to flee again.

What he had just employed was the Shrinking Ground into Inches spell, but due to the special environment here, the spell’s effectiveness was significantly reduced.

Luckily, Wang Chen had already perfected this spell to the level of Great Perfection; despite consecutive casting, he remained calm.

But a Golden Core True Person was not someone he could shake off so easily!

No sooner had True Person Ye missed his attack than his expression grew less pleasant. He abruptly lowered his voice and commanded, “Bind him!”

As the command was issued, the instant his words ended, Wang Chen, who was two hundred steps away, felt an immense pressure descending upon him as an invisible mighty force sealed off the space around him in the blink of an eye.

It completely suppressed his power as well!

The might of a Golden Core was indeed terrifying!

“Defiant!”

Left with no choice, Wang Chen raised his head and spat out a ray of Sword Light.

With the Dragon Abyss Sword revealing its might, it instantly tore through True Person Ye’s net, carving out a path of survival for Wang Chen.

“How insolent!”

True Person Ye had failed to capture Wang Chen three times in a row, and he couldn’t save face any longer!

The Golden Core finally became enraged.
