He who hesitates when action is called for will suffer the consequences!
From Yu Fei coming to his door, to Wang Chen deciding to leave, to selling his house, the whole process had taken barely half a day.
The next morning, Wang Chen left Yongle Immortal City.
He did not feel much attachment to the city.
And as someone with immortal registration, Wang Chen could settle in any immortal city within the Nine Provinces Immortal Alliance. As long as he had Spirit Stones in his pocket, he would never be reduced to a rootless Rogue Cultivator drifting like duckweed.
Thus, he left with utmost resolve!
But what Wang Chen had not expected was that after flying barely a hundred li, several "tails" suddenly appeared behind him.
All of them rode flying Magic Tools. They were Purple Mansion cultivators to a man, following him relentlessly like maggots clinging to bone.
This was certainly not friendly!
Wang Chen immediately changed direction and accelerated through the sky.
Yet the four Purple Mansion cultivators behind him pursued without letting up.
Seeing that he could not shake them off, Wang Chen halted in midair, turned to face his pursuers, and asked in a low voice, "What exactly do you mean by following Wang all the way here?"
"Ha ha!"
One of the cultivators laughed. "I heard that you recently came into a fortune. My brothers and I are a little tight on funds, so we'd like to borrow some Spirit Stones from you to tide us over. We hope you'll lend us a hand."
His words sounded pleasant enough, but the meaning was obvious—they wanted to rob him!
Wang Chen understood at once. The broker must have leaked the news, which was why he had been targeted.
Or perhaps the broker himself was the mastermind.
