Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 738 - Journey to Green Hill (Part 2)

Chapter 738: Chapter 738 Journey to Green Hill (Part 2)

The tavern was not upscale, and the few spirit meals it offered were not pleasing to the eye, but to everyone’s surprise, the taste was exceptionally good.

Especially a dish of honey-roasted rocky mountain sheep leg, sweet and savory, crispy on the outside but tender inside, showing the chef’s remarkable skill.

Just as Wang Chen was thoroughly enjoying his meal, several cultivators wearing tight-fitting clothes and with burly physiques entered the tavern.

Their aggressive demeanor made it clear they were up to no good!

“Biao, what do you want to do?”

The tavern owner, who stood behind the counter, immediately stepped forward to block them, “Don’t start trouble, please!”

...

It was obvious that the tavern owner knew these people and his eyes conveyed a hint of wariness.

The leader was a high-tier Purple Mansion cultivator with a fierce face, who snorted, “I’m not here to cause trouble, just looking for someone!”

“Come out!”

Accompanied by a low roar, a grubby-faced half-grown boy squeezed in from the entrance.

Biao scanned the tavern with a ferocious gaze and asked, “Tiger, who was the guy that bullied you just now?”

The half-grown boy immediately pointed towards Wang Chen without hesitation, “It was him!”

Biao’s gaze landed on Wang Chen almost at the same time.

Wang Chen silently sighed.

He truly didn’t want to cause trouble, which was why he had let the other party off earlier, hoping to downplay the issue.

But now he was facing repercussions for his leniency!

Often, you really can’t afford to be too kind, or else you’ll end up with people walking all over you, defecating and urinating on your head.

“My friend.”

Biao rudely brushed past the tavern owner who was blocking his path and strode up to Wang Chen, staring intently with his bear-like eyes, “You, a dignified Purple Mansion cultivator, picking on my kid, what’s this all about?”

Meanwhile, the half-grown boy made a face at Wang Chen and flashed a smug smile.

At such a young age, he was exceptionally malicious at heart!

The surrounding patrons all quickly made themselves scarce, fearing getting caught up in the conflict.

Many others looked at Wang Chen with sympathy, pity, or schadenfreude, all the while enjoying the spectacle.

Wang Chen laughed.

He stood up calmly and pointed a finger at the half-grown boy.

A terribly fierce pale-golden Qi Energy shot out from his fingertip, instantly piercing through the boy’s forehead.

The whole tavern erupted into chaos!

No one expected that Wang Chen, who seemed amiable, would act so ruthlessly and decisively.

Biao and the tavern shopkeeper’s faces changed color simultaneously; the latter instinctively grabbed onto a talisman card hanging from his waist.

“How dare you!”

With his eyes bulging in fury, Biao roared, “You dare to in…”

Before the high-tier Purple Mansion could finish his sentence, a fist rapidly grew larger in his view, followed by a tsunami-like force crashing into him.

Although Biao was now on guard, he had still underestimated Wang Chen’s strength.

Most importantly, he was too close to Wang Chen.

Bang!

Wang Chen struck Biao with a punch, and almost simultaneously a “puff” sound was heard from Biao’s chest as it shattered, and a ball of clear spiritual light unfolded instantly.

This was clearly the result of an automatic activation of a Body Protection Spiritual Artifact.

However, Wang Chen’s fist didn’t hesitate and pierced right through the protective spiritual light to hit the other man’s face squarely.

The head of the high-tier Purple Mansion exploded like an egg smashed by a rock, with brain matter and blood splattering everywhere!

Biao’s burly body swayed and then started to fall backward onto the ground.

Thump!

The tavern fell silent; everyone’s eyes were wide open, showing disbelief.

This Biao was no ordinary character, not only was he very strong, but he also had powerful backers. Usually, he led a gang of loose cultivators who tyrannized over this district, and very few dared to provoke him.

What had just happened was clear to everyone—Biao was once again bullying and extorting an outsider.

Biao had been doing these kinds of things frequently in the past, and he was often successful, as the street thieves were all under his control.

But such a fierce and overpowering figure, was actually killed by Wang Chen with a single punch!

Killing a chicken wouldn’t even be this fast!

The pub owner almost jumped up: “You…”

He had hardly said “you” when his throat felt as if it was being forcefully strangled, and he was suddenly unable to speak.

Because a chilling presence was emanating from Wang Chen’s body.

Golden Core Pressure!

Wang Chen, he was actually a Golden Core cultivator!

The people who “understood” this point were all thunderstruck.

Who would have thought that a high and mighty Golden Core cultivator would come to such a place and play the role of a pig to eat a tiger.

Biao, too, had the misfortune to fall into the hands of such an overpowering figure!

His death was somewhat unjust.

“So, it turns out to be True Person in person.”

The pub owner was sweating profusely and trembled as he bowed and said: “This lowly one is blind to Mount Tai, offending True Person deserves death a thousand times over!”

“Your crime does not warrant death,”

Wang Chen said with a smile: “But these two, do you say they deserve to die or not?”

“They deserve death!”

The pub owner replied without hesitation: “They truly deserve death a thousand times over!”

Hearing the pub owner’s words, the two cultivators who had followed Biao in almost collapsed on the spot.

Wang Chen then asked: “So do you say I was right to kill them?”

The pub owner nodded repeatedly: “Right, you were right to kill, it was well done!”

Biao’s greatest crime was being blind to those above him and offending a Golden Core True Person, if not him, then who should die?

“That’s good then.”

Wang Chen tossed two Middle Spirit Stones: “This is for the meal, and the corpse disposal fee.”

The pub owner dared not take Wang Chen’s Spirit Stones and was racking his brain for a reason to refuse when Wang Chen had already left.

Wang Chen had no choice but to leave.

He had displayed the Golden Core Pressure by leveraging the power of an External Core, not his own true strength.

If it went on too long, it would be easy to give himself away!

If possible, Wang Chen wouldn’t have wanted to pose as a Golden Core True Person, but the other party was too excessive, treating him like a Grievance Fiend to deal with, truly unbearable!

After leaving the pub, Wang Chen immediately turned his head to leave the city.

His appearance had already been remembered, and if he didn’t change his appearance, attracting a Golden Core True Person to investigate, the outcome would not necessarily be pleasant.

Since it was already dark, Wang Chen didn’t run too far.

Just as he was preparing to find a place to rough it for the night, a chilling sensation suddenly arose in his heart.

“Who’s there?”

Wang Chen said sternly, his piercing gaze directed toward the pitch-dark forest ahead.

His intuition told Wang Chen that from the moment he left the city, his movements had been watched by someone.

But it seemed the other party was wary of something and had not shown themselves.

However, Wang Chen didn’t want to be followed and secretly photographed by someone like this, so he directly made it clear: “May I ask who exactly you are, let’s not waste each other’s time!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure silently “slipped” out of the pitch-dark forest.

It was an old man with white hair and beard.

What astonished Wang Chen was that he could not discern the old man’s cultivation level.

He could only be described as “inscrutable.”
