Chapter 270: Escape
Treading cautiously over the blood-stained ground, Chen Qi entered the small courtyard.
Relief washed over him as he saw Wang Chen standing unharmed beneath the eaves. "Wang Chen, are you alright?"
Earlier, he had heard the commotion from his home but had no idea what was happening. It was only now that he had gathered the courage to come and investigate.
"I’m fine," Wang Chen replied. "I’m leaving."
Chen Qi was immediately taken aback. "Where are you going? Are you abandoning the house?"
From Wang Chen’s tone, it was clear he intended to leave Dongwu Town permanently.
"Goodbye," Wang Chen added.
"I just killed someone from Wei Hall," Wang Chen explained. "They might come looking for trouble, so I can’t keep the house."
Wei Hall!
Chen Qi’s face instantly turned pale.
Though Wang Chen spoke casually, Chen Qi understood the gravity of the situation all too well.
Everyone knew that Wei Hall in Dongwu Town had been established by Xin Han specifically for Lord Jin Snake Jun.
With the Purple Palace master in closed-door cultivation, no one could restrain Lord Jin Snake Jun, allowing Wei Hall’s influence to grow unchecked and dominate Dongwu Town.
If Wang Chen had killed someone from Wei Hall, how could Lord Jin Snake Jun possibly let it slide?
Chen Qi blurted out, "W-where are you going?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized his mistake and quickly waved his hands. "Forget I asked!"
Wang Chen had stirred up a hornet’s nest and needed to escape—he shouldn’t reveal his whereabouts to anyone.
He shouldn’t have asked!
"It’s alright," Wang Chen said with a smile. "I plan to go to the West Sea Spiritual Realm."
Chen Qi was stunned. "The West Sea Spiritual Realm!"
The West Sea Spiritual Realm was the domain of the West Sea Sect, the foremost immortal sect in the Mountain-Sea Realm. It was a vast land, dotted with countless immortal cities and teeming with cultivators. In comparison, Yunyang seemed like a remote backwater.
Yunyang was hundreds of thousands of miles away from the West Sea Spiritual Realm, separated by the towering Yulong Mountain Range, which even large flying ships couldn’t cross. The journey would be fraught with peril.
Wang Chen, merely a high-level Qi Training cultivator, intended to travel to the West Sea Spiritual Realm.
How could Chen Qi not be astonished?
But he didn’t know how to dissuade Wang Chen and was momentarily at a loss for words.
Wang Chen said, "Chen Ge, things are getting more chaotic in Dongwu Town. You and your family need to be prepared; it’s wise to leave yourself an escape route."
Originally, Wang Chen had planned to break through to open a house before leaving Dongwu Town. However, plans changed quickly, and this loose cultivator town had become too chaotic to continue training in secret.
In Wang Chen’s plans, he had always intended to go to the West Sea Spiritual Realm eventually.
Because there is a Path to Heaven!
Wang Chen took out a scroll from his storage bag and handed it to Chen Qi. "Chen Ge, since we have known each other, let this item be yours, for any unforeseen needs."
What Wang Chen gave was the Yunyang Ten Thousand Mile Survey Map.
This magical artifact, when unfolded, displayed the user’s location as well as the terrain and landmarks of the surrounding area.
It was akin to a navigation map for immortal beings.
However, the range shown by the Yunyang Ten Thousand Mile Survey Map was limited to the territory once controlled by the Yunyang Sect.
Since he was heading to the West Sea Spiritual Realm, there would be no return, making this item useless to him.
But for Chen Qi and his family, if they needed to escape, having this guide would undoubtedly be extremely helpful.
"Thank you!"
Chen Qi felt ashamed. "Wang Chen, I still owe you three hundred pounds of spiritual grains."
He truly owed Wang Chen too much and lacked the means to repay even a bit.
Chen Qi also understood that with Wang Chen’s departure, in this vast world, it would be impossible for them to meet again!
Wang Chen smiled, "As long as you remember."
"You should go home quickly. Take care of your Family, and if there’s danger, leave as soon as possible."
Chen Qi deeply bowed to Wang Chen. "I will never forget your kindness, fellow traveler!"
"The road to the West Sea is long, so I apologize that Chen Qi cannot see you off. I wish you success in all your endeavors!"
If he were alone, he would risk his life to follow Wang Chen to the West Sea Spiritual Realm.
But Chen Qi had a wife and two children.
He could not act as impulsively as a young man and did not want to drag Wang Chen down.
After Chen Qi left, Wang Chen looked around and took one last glance at his home.
He slammed his fist down onto the ground.
Boom!
The powerful force of the Vajra Fist instantly penetrated the earth, destroying the tunnel and hidden chamber he had worked so hard to dig.
With a violent shake, the house in front of Wang Chen collapsed, burying his memories from the past year!
Wang Chen summoned the silver spiritual shuttle, soaring several dozen feet high, then flew northwest.
Although Wang Chen could have easily slipped away from Dongwu Town through the tunnel without anyone noticing,
the issue was that without Xin Han present, who in this loose cultivator town could be a match for him?
So why should Wang Chen hide in fear?
He suspected there were significant problems behind Xin Han’s closed-door cultivation. The current chaos in Dongwu Town, aside from external factors, was likely connected to the Purple Palace master’s partner and the so-called Lord Jin Snake Jun.
But Wang Chen had no desire to get involved in this mess.
He was merely a passerby, never belonging here, and he held no responsibility for this loose cultivator town.
Leaving without a trace was the best choice.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Chen rode the silver spiritual shuttle out of Dongwu Town.
In broad daylight, his actions drew the attention of countless cultivators, and beams of light followed him into the sky.
They pursued Wang Chen relentlessly!
Wang Chen certainly noticed the "tails" following him.
But he ignored it, flying several dozen miles away in one breath before hovering over an open area.
The pursuing cultivators quickly closed in, numbering over a dozen.
Among them, one young man in a golden robe stood out.
This cultivator looked very young, had fair skin with delicate features, and possessed narrow, pointed eyes that gave him a sinister appearance.
He felt as if he were a venomous snake waiting to strike!
His voice was sharp, "You killed my Wei Hall cultivator and plan to leave like this?"
"Lord Jin Snake Jun?"
Wang Chen observed him with interest and asked, "Which brothel did you escape from?"
In brothels, female cultivators were called maidens, while men working in the mansions were called Xianggong. Some female cultivators had unique tastes, willing to spend spirit stones to have a temporary partner or furnace cauldron.
Wang Chen had seen a mansion in Yunshan City years ago and recognized several Xianggong.
This one looked at least seventy percent similar.
His words, though not directly harmful, were highly insulting!
The golden-robed cultivator’s face instantly turned bright red as he shouted, "Kill him!"
Crack!
Before the golden-robed cultivator could finish speaking, a thunderous roar shattered the air, and blue-purple lightning suddenly descended, enveloping all the cultivators.
Five Suns Thunder!
