Datian Village, Three Nas Ancestral Hall.
Your next chapter is on empire
When Chen Anhe hurried to the back hall and saw Huang Deqi and the elder with the surna Xu sitting inside, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked pantingly, "Master Huang, what has happened?"
As soon as the clan leader of the Chen family received the Crane ssage from the other party, he rushed here as fast as he could.
He felt like his very bones were about to be shattered by the ordeal.
But he had no other choice, as among the three of them, his cultivation level was the weakest, and he had grown accustod to being at Huang Deqi's beck and call.
Huang Deqi's face looked rather ugly, "Our village chief has been in the mountains for a long ti now, and there has been no word from there."
Chen Anhe was startled, "What's going on?"
He was well aware of how fierce the people in the mountains were.
Although Wang Chen was a Purple Mansion cultivator, the saying goes 'a single tiger is no match for a pack of wolves,' plus the elent of surprise against the unsuspecting, it should all have been within their calculations.
Now, the lack of any news from there clearly defied common sense, and Chen Anhe imdiately had an ominous feeling.
"I have already sent people to explore the mountains."
Huang Deqi said in a heavy voice, "What I'm most worried about now is the mining field, if by any chance..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a "tattattat" light tapping sound was heard.
Looking carefully, Chen Anhe's teeth were chattering from fear.
This old fellow was scared to the point of trembling!
"What's there to panic about!"
Huang Deqi truly wished he could slap Chen Anhe to death, "It hasn't co to that point yet; don't forget, we still have that person presiding over the mine. If Wang Chen hasn't noticed, that's good, but if he did..."
"Hmph, hmph."
He sneered, "Looks like we're about to get a new village chief!"
Chen Anhe, with a mournful expression, said, "But if he isn't dead and finds out about our connection with the Grey Wolf Bandits, what then? I said there was no need for this, and now..."
"Shut your mouth!"
Huang Deqi beca furiously angry, "Do you think I wanted this?"
"Once we're all aboard this ship, we can only keep sailing forward; otherwise, both of us are done for with nowhere to lay our bodies. I didn't call you here to talk nonsense but to discuss what our next steps should be!"
Chen Anhe closed his mouth, filled with regret.
If he had known this day would co, he would not have allowed himself to be dragged into this by Huang Deqi, risking his own neck in the process.
He hadn't yet seen any benefits, and now disaster was about to strike!
Chen Anhe's heart grew increasingly heavy with dark clouds.
But he had no other choice.
He could only rack his brains to the utmost and discuss counterasures with Huang Deqi and the elder with the surna Xu.
While the three were secretly planning in the ancestral hall, Wang Chen, far away in the underground caves of the mining site, sensed sothing unusual from above.
There were subtle vibrations at the top of the cave, and soon, these vibrations intensified.
Countless dust and stone chips fell like a white frosty snow.
Crack!
A crisp cracking sound was heard, and streaks of golden light shone through the fissures in the ceiling, silently dissolving the hard rocks and creating a massive hollow.
In the next mont, a clear spiritual light fell straight down from the hole.
Landing right in front of Wang Chen.
Suddenly, the spiritual light dispersed, and a cultivator wearing a cyan-gray Taoist robe and carrying a flying sword revealed himself.
"Greetings to you, fellow Taoist," Wang Chen imdiately offered a polite bow to the newcor.
This cultivator was Luo Zhen, a Guard Cultivator from the Southern Domain Patrol Departnt of the West Sea Sect.
This person was considered to be the one who had shown Wang Chen the way; the reason he had beco the village chief of Datian Village was thanks to this very Purple Mansion individual.
The Wanli ssaging Talisman that Wang Chen had sent out earlier was given to him by Luo Zhen.
According to the agreent, Wang Chen could only use this talisman in urgent situations.
"Taoist Friend Wang."
Luo Zhen returned the greeting with a nod.
His gaze swept over the scene inside the cave, taking in everything at a glance, and his expression shifted slightly.
"The Myriad Transformations Blood Pool!"
The Myriad Transformations Blood Pool was a special type of demonic artifact, which could also be considered a kind of formation. Its main function was to condense the Qi-blood, Mana, and soul of martial artists and cultivators for the purpose of refining Myriad Transformations Pills.
The Myriad Transformations Pill could enhance cultivation level and longevity and could also assist in Breaking Thresholds.
For many cultivators, this was a temptation hard to resist.
However, constructing the Myriad Transformations Blood Pool and refining Myriad Transformations Pills was strictly forbidden, and any discovery of such had to be destroyed without exception—there were no excuses.
Those who engaged in such acts were almost always Demon Cultivators!
Luo Zhen could tell at a glance that the Blood Pool in front of him was nearly finished refining.
He could only guess how many innocent people had been hard!
A glint of lethal intent flashed in Luo Zhen's eyes: "Taoist Friend Wang!"
Once it involved a Demon Cultivator or the Myriad Transformations Blood Pool, even though he knew Wang Chen wouldn't be involved, according to the rules of West Sea Sect, he had to report the entire matter clearly.
If there were any loopholes or flaws, it all had to be taken to the Sect's Disciplinary Hall for interrogation!
Wang Chen gestured to lift the demon cultivator from the ground and pushed him towards Luo Zhen.
He succinctly recounted the whole story, without embellishnt or exaggeration.
Luo Zhen listened quietly until Wang Chen finished, then nodded and said, "You did very well."
Before the truth was fully ascertained, he couldn't show too much goodwill towards Wang Chen, so he directed his attention towards the Demon Cultivator captured by Wang Chen.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Luo Zhen stretched out his hand and wiped the other's face, pulling off a mask as thin as a cicada's wing.
An ugly and ferocious face was abruptly revealed!
"Yuan Shenkui!"
His eyes widening in disbelief, Luo Zhen exclaid, "You've actually captured him alive!"
Wang Chen had no idea who Yuan Shenkui was, but he could tell from Luo Zhen's expression that the man was significant, so after thinking for a mont, he said, "He must have been injured, and I just happened to take advantage of the situation."
When he had been fighting for his life against this Demon Cultivator, Wang Chen had sensed that the other's aura was unstable.
The fluctuations of Mana were quite intense.
"Taoist Friend Wang, you have made a great contribution!"
Luo Zhen pointed at the floating Demon Cultivator before him and said, "This Yuan Shenkui has been wanted by our Sect for arrest, and the reward from the rit Affairs Hall has reached five thousand points."
A great rit!
He took a deep look at Wang Chen, "That's enough to exchange for an Inner Sect Disciple Rank!"
West Sea Sect was the foremost Immortal Gate of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the undisputed ruler of the West Sea Spirit Domain. Countless cultivators would go to great lengths to join it.
For an outside cultivator like Wang Chen, even with his Purple Mansion cultivation level, he still had to find connections to secure an entry exam qualification, and then strive step by step to open the gates of the West Sea Sect.
With much trouble, he had spent three years to exchange rely for the status of an Outer Sect Disciple.
And now, he was about to ascend to heaven in a single step!
Having been born into a renowned and influential family, Luo Zhen's grace and cultivation were beyond comparison. Even he felt quite conflicted at this mont.
Wang Chen smiled, "If it were not for your recomndation, Taoist Friend Luo, I would not have had such an opportunity. I am willing to share this rit with you!"
