Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 621 - : Infiltration
Chapter 621: 621 Chapter: Infiltration
“`
Nameless Mountain, the mine.
Carrying a blood-stained whip, Chen Laosi returned to his watch hut.
This mine nestled deep within the mountains had been established over two months ago specifically for the extraction of high-quality cyan stones needed for the building of the Immortal Castle.
Since then, Chen Laosi had been one of the overseers of the mining operations.
He had a strong distaste for this job.
The mine was surrounded by wilderness with hardly a soul around, and also faced threats from Monster Beasts. All the miners were male Slave Cultivators, and apart from a few with particular proclivities, no one liked such an environment.
Chen Laosi also had to go deep into the mines to supervise on-site, which was even more grueling.
Not only that, he had to ensure the daily mining quotas were met, or else, should it affect the construction of the Immortal Castle, the sect’s punishment would be quite severe.
Chen Laosi could only push the Slave Cultivator miners to their limits, using the whip to make them work harder.
So far, three Slave Cultivators had died under his whip.
Although the tasks were completed, every time he went down into the mines, he could feel the malice from those around him.
Chen Laosi knew very well that those Slave Cultivators he had whipped were cursing him.
Of course, he wasn’t afraid.
But living in such a place, he could never feel comfortable!
Finally, his shift ended, and Chen Laosi was able to return to his hut to catch his breath.
To recover some of his exhausted spirits.
He grabbed a jug of Spiritual Wine from nearby, cracked the clay seal, and began to drink heartily.
At that moment, a grey-clothed man tiptoed in.
Seeing the visitor, Chen Laosi frowned and put down his jug, asking coldly, “What’s the matter?”
The man was a Disciple from the Outer Sect of the Divine Reflect Gate, sent here to do the hard work that wasn’t suitable for Slave Cultivators and currently under Chen Laosi’s command.
Chen Laosi wasn’t fond of him, which made his tone quite harsh.
The grey-clothed man shrank his head and approached with a stooped back, saying, “Brother, I found something strange…”
Chen Laosi instinctively perked up his ears, curious as to why the other would be so mysterious about it.
Just then, a fist suddenly slammed into his lower abdomen!
Bang!
Chen Laosi had never anticipated that this man, who usually acted as timid as a mouse, would make a move against him.
He was completely unprepared; only the Body Protection Spirit Talisman he carried activated instantly on its own, erupting with Spiritual Light to block the attack from the other side.
“You!”
Chen Laosi was struck with shock and fury but then felt a chill in his lower belly, his Qi Sea Dantian was pierced through by an invisible Qi Energy!
The next moment, a palm struck heavily on his forehead.
The grey-clothed man moved extremely fast, delivering a combination of punches, finger strikes, and palm moves at close range. He first burst Chen Laosi’s Body Protection Talisman, then destroyed his Qi Sea Dantian, and finally knocked him out with a heavy slap.
This Primary Tier Purple Mansion Cultivator didn’t even have the chance to cry for help before he was rendered fish on the chopping board.
Since the battle broke out so suddenly and ended in a flash like lightning, it didn’t alarm anyone outside.
The grey-clothed man reached out and took the Storage Bag and Identity Plaque from Chen Laosi’s waist, then he stripped off the Robe that he was wearing.
After changing into the Robe and hanging the Storage Bag, the grey-clothed man twisted his neck, his bones making a fine cracking sound, and his figure suddenly grew taller, with obvious changes in his body shape and features.
In just a moment, a new Chen Laosi emerged!
He pulled out a bronze mirror to look at himself and nodded in satisfaction.
This new Chen Laosi was naturally Wang Chen.
There was a Golden Core overseeing Flying Catkins Valley, and with his current strength, trying to rescue Zhang Mushan’s two daughters from under the eyes of a True Person was undoubtedly unrealistic.
Therefore, Wang Chen had to take a roundabout route.
After making contact with Zhang Mushan in the mine, Wang Chen spent the better part of a month observing the situation within the minefield.
“`
He had locked on to the target, Chen Laosi.
Compared to Flying Catkins Valley, which had already turned into a large construction site, the security level of the mines was undoubtedly much lower and there was no Golden Core True Person stationed there.
This provided Wang Chen with his chance to make a move.
With his perfected Hidden God Technique, he quietly infiltrated the mines, first taking out one of Chen Laosi’s men, then using Thousand Mechanisms Changing to disguise himself and approach the target.
A successful strike!
The reason Wang Chen did not kill Chen Laosi outright was that he feared the other party had a Soul Lamp established inside the sect, which would certainly alert Divine Reflect Gate if anything were to happen.
That might even bring forth a Golden Core True Person for investigation.
That would be troublesome.
As for the disciple of Chen Laosi he had killed earlier, a mere Qi Cultivation disciple did not have the privilege to set up a Soul Lamp, so there was no need to worry about that.
After “transforming,” Wang Chen used the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon to seal the unconscious Chen Laosi inside the precious chart.
If Chen Laosi’s Cultivation Realm had still been intact, the True Form Chart, having expended a great deal of She Qi earlier, would not have been able to enclose him.
But now, this guy had become a crippled person, even less than an ordinary person, and it was easy to confine him!
Wang Chen just needed to make sure he was still alive.
Having dealt with the matter, Wang Chen sat on a chair unruffled, finishing the remaining half-jar of Spiritual Wine.
Wiping the residual wine from the corner of his mouth, he got up and left the watch hut.
Leaping into the air, he flew toward the direction of Flying Catkins Valley.
The other cultivators in the mines saw him but paid no mind, nor had any suspicion.
Because it was typical for Chen Laosi to head to Flying Catkins Valley for leisure after “clocking out.”
Although the Immortal Castle in Flying Catkins Valley was still under construction, there were already some shops and taverns inside for the cultivators of the sect to consume and relax.
However, Wang Chen flew only halfway towards the valley before he suddenly changed direction and altitude, nearly grazing the ground as he flew hundreds of miles away.
He landed in a forest.
After scanning the surroundings with his Divine Sense to ensure there were no issues, Wang Chen released Chen Laosi from the True Form Chart.
Chen Laosi crashed heavily onto the ground, moaning unconsciously.
He was slowly coming to.
He clutched his chest, coughing violently with fresh blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, his eyes shifting from dazed to lucid.
As soon as Chen Laosi saw the person standing in front of him, he was immediately stricken with horror, “You!”
Wang Chen smiled faintly, “Hello.”
To Chen Laosi, his smile was as terrifying as that of a malevolent spirit or demon!
A stick of incense later, Wang Chen took to the skies once again.
This time, he flew all the way to the outskirts of Flying Catkins Valley.
As he approached the valley, he lowered his altitude to land on the ground and walked casually towards the city gate.
After two or three months of construction, the Immortal Castle that Divine Reflect Gate was building in Flying Catkins Valley was already taking shape, and it wouldn’t be long before it was completed.
But the accompanying large Array had not yet been built, so there were cultivators stationed and patrolling both inside and outside the city gate.
Wang Chen strode into the main gate. The cultivators guarding the gate only glanced at him, neither stopping him nor asking any questions.
Because they all recognized him!
If Chen Laosi had been well-liked within the sect, perhaps the gatekeeping cultivators might have struck up a conversation with him.
But this guy didn’t have many friends within Divine Reflect Gate, his personality was quite prickly, and he wasn’t favored by the elders above, which is why he had been assigned to supervise the mines.
Down the long street paved with bluestone, Wang Chen arrived in front of a tall building.
