Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 761 - Wizard
Chapter 761 -761 Wizard
“Bastard!”
“Looking for death!”
“Let’s gang up on him and kill him!”
Wang Chen’s move was extremely sudden, and with one strike, he severely injured the arrogant bearded man.
The hunters from New Field Village were all dumbstruck, but they soon snapped back to reality, and all of them started cursing at Wang Chen!
They weren’t just all talk, no action, either; they all drew their weapons with murderous intent in their eyes.
...
The atmosphere in the cavern suddenly became incredibly tense.
“Stop!”
Just as a fierce battle was about to erupt, a hoarse old voice suddenly came from outside the cave.
Upon hearing this voice, the faces of the New Field hunters changed, and they unconsciously took a step back.
Wang Chen had originally planned to take the initiative, but noticing the sudden change, he decided not to move immediately after some thought.
Unlike with bandits, although Little Stone Village and New Field Village had long-standing conflicts, the feud hadn’t reached a point of blood vendettas spanning generations; they even had experiences of banding together against outside enemies.
This was the reason Wang Chen didn’t kill the man with the beard on the spot.
The hunters from New Field Village quickly made way, and an old man dressed in hemp and holding a bone staff walked in.
He looked very old, thin and frail with white hair, but his eyes were bright and carried an aura of dignity.
Swept by the old man’s gaze, the hunters all lowered their heads.
Not daring to be rash.
Shi Yan hastily performed a salute and said, “I’ve seen the Sorcerer Elder!”
Wang Chen’s eyes flashed as he immediately understood the man’s identity.
This was the Wizard of New Field Village!
Or, to be precise, the Earth Sorcerer.
Wizards were very special beings, said to be able to communicate with spirits and master all sorts of unimaginable secret techniques.
There were countless rumors and stories about wizards, but most were fantastical and unbelievable.
And Wang Chen’s knowledge of wizards was extremely limited.
Because Little Stone Village did not have a wizard.
Decades ago, after the wizard of Little Stone Village passed away, no new wizard was born.
This was quite normal, as wizards were Innate awakened, unlike martial artists who could break through by cultivating. Many villages were in a similar situation.

However, a village with a wizard was certainly safer and had more potential for development than one without!
In this respect, Little Stone Village was far behind New Field Village.
That’s why Shi Yan was so respectful.
“You’re Shi Yan from Little Stone Village, right?”
The hemp-clothed elder nodded at Shi Yan, “I’ve seen you before.”
Shi Yan felt honored and startled.
Long ago, he had gone as Little Stone Village’s representative to negotiate with New Field Village and had met with this “spiritual leader” of New Field Village. He did not expect the elder to recognize him at a glance.
And to mention his name!
Then the elder’s gaze fell on Wang Chen: “And this young martial artist is?”
“Little Stone Village, Wang Chen.”
Without waiting for Shi Yan to introduce him, Wang Chen replied himself, “I’ve seen the Sorcerer Elder.”
When he decided to go to Red Cliff City, Shi Laowu suggested that Wang Chen change his name, as his original name was too rustic and would bring him ridicule in the city.
Wang Chen conveniently reverted to his own original name!
His ultimate goal in the Foggy Mountain Realm was to make a name for himself, primarily to find Hu Jiaojiao, and if he kept his original name, that would be utterly foolish.
So, he changed even his surname as well.
Shi Laowu found this puzzling and felt that Wang Chen might be accused of forgetting his roots, but he didn’t say much in the end.
And Shi Yan would have even less to say about it.
“Indeed, heroes emerge from the young!”
The hemp-robed elder did not take offense at Wang Chen’s “rudeness,” and with a slight smile, he said, “You are heading to Red Cliff, aren’t you? It was our fault just now, please forgive us.”
Although he had been outside the cave, he was fully aware of what had transpired within.
He knew that it was his own party who had been unreasonable first.
As the saying goes, you don’t slap a smiling face; and since this “spiritual leader” of New Field Village was being so polite, Wang Chen did not wish to respond with hostility, so he nodded and replied, “Yes.”
“Then we won’t disturb you further.”
The hemp-robed elder decisively waved his hand, “Come here, take Tian Dazhu away!”
Two hunters hurried forward and carried away the unconscious man with the jaw beard.
The hemp-robed elder nodded slightly to Wang Chen and then turned to leave the cave.
The other hunters, though reluctant, did not dare to go against the Wizard’s decision and left in a resigned manner.
Only after all the people from New Field Village had left did Shi Yan, who had been on tenterhooks, finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He looked at Wang Chen, who was sitting down nonchalantly to continue drinking his meat soup, and scratched his head, wanting to say something, but ended up swallowing all his words back.
Shi Yan had realized that although Wang Chen was young, he was a person of strong convictions.
Most importantly, he was strong enough.
Even the Sorcerer Elder was wary of him!
“Sorcerer Elder, why didn’t you finish off that little bastard?”
As the hunters from New Field Village carried the jaw-bearded man away with their heads down, one of them asked indignantly, “We have so many people, are we still afraid that we can’t overpower him?”
Although the rest remained silent, their eyes revealed similar thoughts.
Bang!
The questioner suddenly felt a staff strike his forehead.
The hemp-robed elder withdrew his bone staff with a dark face and said solemnly, “Because I didn’t want to collect corpses for so many of you!”
What?! The hunters were all greatly startled, hardly believing their own ears.
Although Wang Chen had shown considerable strength, everyone thought that his defeat of Tian Dazhu was purely the result of a sneak attack.
With so many people swarming him, they didn’t believe Wang Chen could still stand a chance!
The words of the hemp-robed elder overturned their beliefs.
“Don’t believe it?”
The hemp-robed elder obviously knew what they were all thinking and said coldly, “This Wang Chen is not an ordinary Martial Artist, he’s at least at the Bone Refining Realm, and he might even have stepped into the Blood Refinement tier.”
“He carries the Blood Fiend Energy with him, surely having killed many strong-blooded people recently.”
“I am not wrong about this!”
The hunters were all rendered speechless.
They of course had to listen to their own Wizard, and it was unlikely that he was mistaken.
They just hadn’t expected that a mere teenager could be so formidable!
At this moment, they didn’t notice that the hemp-robed elder’s hand, holding the bone staff, was trembling slightly, and deep in his eyes, there was a hidden trace of fear.
The hunters also didn’t know how much of a mental shock the old Wizard had suffered when he first laid eyes on Wang Chen.
And if a fierce conflict had broken out, every one of them, including the Sorcerer Elder, would have died!
The hemp-robed elder steadied his spirit and took out a packet of medicine powder from his chest, handing it to a nearby hunter, “First treat Tian Dazhu’s wounds; he brought this calamity upon himself!”
Tian Dazhu, who had been severely injured by Wang Chen, was no weakling. In fact, his Cultivation Level placed him among the top hunters of New Field Village.
Yet now he was being carried away like a dead dog, his face unrecognizable and bloodied, looking utterly miserable.
Everyone felt a shared gloom and dared not speak any further, hastening their pace.
As if fierce beasts were chasing them!
