Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 642 - : The Daily Life of a Prison Guard

Chapter 642: Chapter 642: The Daily Life of a Prison Guard

Wang Chen’s eyes suddenly grew cold.

He tightened his right hand, and robust mana surged into the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net like a rushing Long River.

This treasure immediately shed its dull exterior, revealing an unprecedented brilliance. Its absorptive and destructive powers increased massively.

At the same time, Wang Chen abruptly turned around.

He struck out with a palm behind him!

Boom!

...

The palm strike was silent and stealthy, but when it hit an almost transparent Evil Serpent, it was as though thunder had exploded in the corridor.

The ground trembled!

The Evil Serpent lurking in the corridor was not the only one. Those that attacked from behind were even more cunning, yet their presence could not escape Wang Chen’s incredibly acute sense of danger.

One Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm strike shattered the Evil Serpent into pieces.

[Human Virtue +3278]

The information that simultaneously flashed in his vision made Wang Chen’s eyes light up.

It had been quite some time since he last gained Human Virtue points, especially after arriving in Yongle Immortal City, where opportunities had ceased to exist.

It was normal to obtain Human Virtue points for killing the Evil Serpents in the dungeon, but what surprised Wang Chen was the high number of points—more than 3000—making it a small package of experience!

Unfortunately, the Evil Serpents that fell into the net were now completely drained by the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net.

They turned into nothingness.

But inside the Demon-Slaying Net, a large amount of pure Spiritual Power was now present. In any case, it was a no-loss situation.

The elimination of the two Evil Serpents suddenly made Wang Chen realize that the Yongle Dungeon, which other cultivators avoided at all costs and viewed as a deadly threat, was perhaps a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land for his exceptional power accumulation!

Whether he was isolated or ostracized, it was not only unimportant but, in fact, increased his opportunity to accumulate power.

Otherwise, if there were other prison guards accompanying him, Wang Chen would certainly not have been able to use the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net.

This new patrol route was really great!

In fact, from another perspective, a bad situation could turn into a good one.

Of course, that was provided he had the strength.

After putting away the Demon-Slaying Net, Wang Chen continued on his way.

Having warmed up a bit, his Qi-Blood was now boiling, radiating outward without any deliberate control.

The Yin Evil forces that filled the space around him scattered automatically upon encountering Wang Chen.

As for Evil Wraiths and other abnormalities, they no longer appeared before Wang Chen.

He smoothly arrived at the end of his new patrol route.

The sight before him took Wang Chen by surprise!

If the map were completely unfolded, then Wang Chen’s current location would be at the bottom right corner.

Since Yi Nine District was at the boundary of the Yi District, this position was also the most remote corner of the entire Yi District.

In this prison, a black-robed cultivator was being held.

To call it a prison wasn’t quite accurate, as it was a completely open cave, ten times larger than Wang Chen’s current residence.

However, where the cave connected to the corridor, beams of light emerged from underground, forming a sealed fence!

Clearly, a special Array was set up inside the cave.

The black-robed cultivator was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his black hair also falling to the floor. With his eyes tightly closed, it seemed he was cultivating or channeling energy. His pale skin contrasted sharply with the robe he was wearing.

When Wang Chen’s gaze remained on him for more than three breaths, the black-robed cultivator suddenly opened his eyes.

He frowned, showing an undisguised look of annoyance on his face.

“A new prison guard?”

The black-robed cultivator directly asked, “What’s your name? How old are you this year? What Cultivation Technique do you practice…”

Asking for a name and age was one thing, but to inquire about the Cultivation Technique one practiced was quite audacious!

Wang Chen ignored him, looking left and right to ensure there were no safety hazards before turning around and leaving gracefully.

Today, he had to continue patrolling.

That’s the daily grind of a prison guard—boring and monotonous!

“Wait.”

Just as Wang Chen’s figure was almost disappearing into the corridor, the black-robed cultivator got a bit anxious, “You, come back here, I have something to say to you!”

At this point, despite clearly begging for help, his tone sounded like Wang Chen owed him a debt of a hundred and eighty thousand.

Wang Chen had seen more than one or two cultivators with such disdainful and arrogant attitudes.

As long as you ignore them, no matter how much drama they have, they can’t carry on!

The next day, when Wang Chen arrived at the bottom right corner of Yi Nine District again, the black-robed cultivator finally lowered his proud head and said disheartenedly, “I apologize to you. I shouldn’t have asked so many questions yesterday.”

You know that, huh?

Wang Chen almost burst out laughing.

The black-robed cultivator continued in a suppressed tone, “I…

But Wang Chen had already walked away.

The black-robed cultivator was immediately so angry smoke could have come out of his seven orifices.

It was really smoke, just like a short-circuited wire, almost catching fire!

Wang Chen couldn’t care less about what this guy was thinking or planning; unless the “really fragrant” principle took effect, don’t expect him to pull chestnuts out of the fire for a prisoner.

Yu Fei was a warning from the past!

It had to be said that Wang Chen’s thoughts were now very close to those of a veteran prison guard.

Of course, this was only in terms of work-related thoughts.

After finishing a day’s hard work, Wang Chen returned to his dwelling to rest for a while, then headed to Little Yin Mountain.

Unlike Bing District, Yi District not only had the Supervisory Hall, living quarters, and prison cells for the inmates but also had a place similar to a commercial street or a marketplace.

This place was not marked on the map, but as long as one wasn’t deaf or blind, they would eventually learn of its existence.

Wang Chen, of course, wasn’t going to Little Yin Mountain to shop at the market; his real destination was the tavern next door.

The only tavern in the entire Yi District.

In this place, you could order a pot of Spiritual Wine and sit for as long as you wanted, and the tavernkeeper would thoughtfully serve a plate of deep-fried peanuts.

Little Yin Mountain was actually a Cave Heaven, larger than the one where the black-robed cultivator stayed.

As the saying goes, though the sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs. Little Yin Mountain had all the facilities you could need, it’s just that whether it was the tavern or the restaurant, the prices were several times higher than normal.

Some were even several multiples higher!

A very ordinary pot of Spiritual Wine cost Wang Chen fifteen Low Spirits.

That was quite extortionate!

The tavernkeeper did give him a plate of deep-fried peanuts, shiny with oil and fragrant.

Wang Chen picked a secluded corner to sit, sipping slowly on his wine and munching on the peanuts.

Listening to others brag and boast while filtering out useful tidbits of information.

You see, Little Yin Mountain was open to all prison guards. Even colleagues from other district layers could come here to squander Spirit Stones.

Therefore, the place enjoyed quite some popularity, especially as a group of prison guards, just like Wang Chen had finished their shift and came to Little Yin Mountain to relax, their tongues loosened after a few cups of Spiritual Wine.

“Ouch!”

Just as Wang Chen was getting absorbed in the chatter, a sarcastic voice suddenly rang out from beside him. “Isn’t that Wang Chen from Yi Nine District? I heard you got punished for fraternizing with prisoners, is that true?”

The other person’s voice was exceptionally loud, clear to everyone in the tavern.

All the attention was suddenly focused on them.

Sitting in the corner, Wang Chen inadvertently became the center of attention!
