Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 696 - : A Gentleman’s Revenge
Chapter 696 -696: A Gentleman’s Revenge
As soon as True Person Golden Core spoke, Wang Chen’s tenure at the Patrol and Arrest Bureau began its countdown.
He had less than two months until his transfer to the Evil-Suppressing Department!
Under someone’s arrangement, Wang Chen took out the 1,500 points of Immortal Merit he had painstakingly accumulated and redeemed the Taoist Contract he signed initially for his name on the Immortal Register.
In addition, as compensation for being “injured on duty,” he was granted a new job.
A very, very leisurely job.

Since Wang Chen was seriously injured and contaminated with evil power, he didn’t need to start work at the new unit immediately before full recovery.
...
Wang Chen bore no grievances about this, cooperated fully with the transfer procedures, and returned his copper badge.
This badge, representing his identity as a constable, had not even warmed up in his possession!
But Wang Chen felt neither embarrassed nor disappointed.
In fact, this outcome was precisely what he had painstakingly planned for!
In the previous battle against Liang Cen, Wang Chen was fully capable of winning and completing the task with flying colors.
And then what?
Wang Chen had caught the attention of a Golden Core True Person, who also happened to be his superior and had plenty of ways to torment him.
Realizing he couldn’t be manipulated by others, Wang Chen simply chose to “self-destruct”.
Wang Chen’s injuries were not as serious as they appeared. To fool Guan Shengping, he not only used Thousand Mechanisms Changing but also cast Hidden God Technique on himself, expertly controlling his breath.
Of course, the claw strike he received was genuinely painful!
Otherwise, it would not have been an easy task to deceive Guan Shengping, a Golden Core True Person.
Now it was a success.
After returning home, Wang Chen rested for three days.
Once sure that no one was spying on or surveilling him, he quietly left Yongle Immortal City with a new appearance on the morning of the fourth day.
Wang Chen didn’t intend to flee far away.
But one must see things through from beginning to end.
He had left the Evil-Suppressing Department and even turned in his copper badge.
However, the Talisman Card sealed with a strand of Liang Cen’s divine soul was still hidden inside Wang Chen’s Sumeru Ring.
Liang Cen was originally a member of the Evil-Suppressing Department and a senior Silver Badge Patrol and Arrest Officer with a Soul Lamp erected at his office.
This custom-made Talisman Card stemmed from that.
The cultivator who processed the paperwork for Wang Chen didn’t ask any questions, probably because they didn’t care, as long as Liang Cen’s soul fire was not extinguished, dozens of such cards could easily be reproduced.
It was also through this Talisman Card that Wang Chen confirmed Liang Cen was still alive, not killed by the officers of the Department of Arrest.
He decided to go solo and resolve the karma he had accrued with this evil cultivator.
At the same time, it was to make up for any flaws he might have revealed!
A gentleman’s revenge is best served swiftly.
A hundred miles from the city, Wang Chen summoned the Upper Clear Qiankun Mirror, using the powerful might of this treasure to enhance his divine sense perception, and then searched for the target through the Talisman Card.
With the enhancement of the Upper Clear Qiankun Mirror, Wang Chen’s perception increased by more than tenfold, allowing him to quickly lock onto the target.
He immediately flew towards it by sword control.
This time, Wang Chen flew a full three thousand miles.
He found a Loose Cultivator village.
Liang Cen was hiding inside!
Wang Chen wasn’t in a hurry. He patiently waited outside until nightfall before stealthily infiltrating the village established by the Loose Cultivators.
These kinds of villages were small in scale, with only a couple hundred simple and crude buildings, but they were stable and secure.
They wouldn’t be missed at all if abandoned.
Additionally, such villages were a mixed bag, with not only ordinary Loose Cultivators but often hidden Sin Cultivators, Demon Cultivators, and Evil Cultivators retaining some semblance of humanity.
An inconspicuous stone house entered Wang Chen’s view; its feeble yellow light seeped through the window cracks, giving off an exceptionally shabby feeling.
At this point, Wang Chen no longer had any hesitation or second thoughts, and suddenly, he struck the thick door with his palm, shattering it into countless pieces.
“Liang Cen, you’re in trouble!”
When Wang Chen burst in, Liang Cen was sitting on the bed, healing his wounds.
Although he had managed to escape the joint pursuit of three constables, he had been seriously injured and had almost lost an arm.
Having no other choice, Liang Cen had chosen to hide in a village of Loose Cultivators.
He planned to continue fleeing once his injuries had healed.
The moment the doors were forced open, a shiver went down the spine of this evil cultivator, and he promptly performed a hand spell.
He found it strange that, despite having changed his appearance and painstakingly concealing his aura, he could still be tracked down.
Deep down, Liang Cen swore to himself to teach this uninvited guest a brutal lesson!
However, a large net descended from above, completely enveloping him.
Liang Cen was struck with horror, but before he could make a crucial decision, he was already trapped in the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net!
Instinctively wanting to escape, he thought, where there is life, there’s hope. There would always be time and opportunity to make a comeback.
What Liang Cen least expected was that the net, its material seemingly of low grade, was inescapable no matter how hard he tried. He couldn’t help but sink deeper into it.
What terrified him most was the feeling of his evil power being sapped away continuously.
He struggled desperately, but it was all in vain.
“Spare me…”
Liang Cen, now the fish on the chopping block, finally had the realization of one: “I’ll tell you about a place where you can get vast resources, including the Condensing Core Treasure!”
Wang Chen snorted disdainfully and tightened the rope in his hand!
“Ah!”
The evil cultivator immediately felt excruciating pain and let out a resentful howl, struggling with all his might.
As a result, the harder he struggled, the quicker his evil power depleted.
“I’ll give you Spirit Stones, lots and lots of Spirit Stones!”
Until the end, Liang Cen still refused to give up, desperately pleading while clutching the net that burned like a hot iron.
And through the eyes of the net, he saw the culprit of his pain and despair.
“It’s you!”
Recognizing Wang Chen, Liang Cen lay on the ground and said with a bitter laugh, “You’ve come for revenge, haven’t you?”
The response was a bright flash of sword light!
Thwack!
Liang Cen was indeed powerful, but the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net constrained him tightly, and without a doubt, he was done for.
[Heavenly Merit +999]
Since Liang Cen had not yet fully turned to evil, Wang Chen reaped Heavenly Merit!
