After drinking a few glasses of the spirit wine brought by Wang Chen, Chen Qi's chatterbox suddenly opened up.
Wang Chen learned from his mouth the fundamental reason why Dongwu Stockade became what he is now.
Guiyuan Sect and Five Peaks Mountain, who originally divided up Yunyang's former homeland, have recently made frequent moves against the Rogue Cultivator walled city within their jurisdiction.
The two sects required these towns to pay grain and taxes, and forced a large number of Rogue Cultivator to work in the mines and hunting grounds.
In the past, when Yunyang Sect was dominant, they basically had a free-range attitude towards the Outer Region city. At most, they relied on the sect's resource advantage to harvest Rogue Cultivator.
Although Rogue Cultivator's life is far worse than that of the Upper Sect disciples, there is no problem in survival.
When Spirit Field encounters a bad harvest, Yunyang Sect will also requisition grain from Great Qian and supply it to the market at a relatively low price, so that Rogue Cultivator can also have enough to eat.
Now we have Guiyuan Sect and Five Peaks Mountain, and their methods are much more vicious than Yunyang Sect.
Some cities could not bear the oppression, so they rose up in resistance.
As a result, he was severely suppressed!
Under such circumstances, many Rogue Cultivator fled their villages with their families.
Run to Dongwu Stockade for shelter.
Everyone thinks that the city lord of Dongwu Stockade is Master Purple Mansion, so the two sects will give him some face.
In addition, the rising food prices have also created a large number of refugees, who have come to Dongwu Stockade to survive.
Coupled with other reasons, Dongwu Stockade was overwhelmed!
The most terrible thing is that Xin Han has been unable to come out of seclusion, and all power is in the hands of his concubine and Golden Snake Gentleman.
The two of them opened the door to convenience without any restrictions on outside monks.
Dongwu Stockade These two siblings are indispensable for the chaos we are in now!
"Fellow Daoist Wang, you must be careful."
Chen Qi lowered his voice and said, "Then Golden Snake Gentleman has sent people to find you several times, and they will not give up."
"I heard that many fellow Daoists were recruited into the City Lord's Mansion and then never came out again!"
In the eyes of many monks, the current City Lord's Mansion is about to become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and the recruits seem to be risking their lives!
He smiled bitterly and said, "If I didn't really have nowhere to go, I would have wanted to leave."
This is the tragedy of Rogue Cultivator.
Outer Region Survival is not easy. The walled city is their shelter. No one is willing to leave easily unless they have no choice.
Chen Qi If you bring your family with you, you don't even dare to take risks.
And living in another place may not be better, it might even be worse!
"Yeah."
Wang Chen nodded to show that he understood.
Dongwu Stockade Thousands of monks, the only one he fears is the city lord Xin Han.
As for the Joyous Union Sect female cultivator, Golden Snake Gentleman, Wang Chen didn't take it to heart.
With his current strength, Purple Mansion is invincible!
For Wang Chen, the top priority right now is to cultivate to peak Qi Condensation and prepare for promotion to the Purple Mansion.
The second step is to collect the resources Break Through Apertures and Open the Mansion needs.
And once promoted to the Purple Mansion, Dongwu Stockade will not be able to keep him!
"Fellow Daoist Wang..."
Chen Qi was obviously a little drunk, and suddenly changed the subject. "I think you have no one to take care of you. You should find a dao companion or a concubine."
"Madam, I would like to introduce you to Fellow Daoist Wang!"
As a result, Madam Chen, who was sitting next to him, slapped him on the head. "You drank too much!"
Madam Chen is much smarter than Chen Qi. He has long seen that Wang Chen focuses on practicing without love, which is completely different from those Rogue Cultivator who just muddle along and only want immediate happiness.
Such a person, why does she need to introduce dao companion!
Wang Chen couldn't laugh or cry, "Thank you, Brother Chen. I appreciate your kindness. Come on, let's have two more drinks."
Although the food and wine for this New Year's Eve dinner were very ordinary, Wang Chen still enjoyed it quite happily.
At least I wasn't alone.
The Spring Festival passed quietly. In the following days, Wang Chen lived in seclusion. Except for occasionally going to Marketplace to buy and change things, he basically never left home.
Hiding in the underground secret room and practicing hard.
Five Elements Technique's experience is increasing day by day, and he is very close to consummation.
However, the beginning of the new year did not make the situation in Dongwu Stockade stable and peaceful, but instead became even more chaotic.
This Rogue Cultivator walled city, which originally accommodated only 10,000 people, now has at least 30,000 to 40,000 permanent and temporary residents combined.
With so many people eating, drinking, sleeping, and the food supply being extremely tight, it would be weird if nothing happened!
Wang Chen Not going out easily means being out of sight and out of mind.
However, things in the world are always not as expected.
Bang!
Before the first month of the first month, Wang Chen's newly-renovated courtyard door was knocked open again, and the door panel shattered and wood splinters flew everywhere!
"Wang Xiu!"
A group of vicious monks broke in and launched a search without any explanation.
It was lunch time, Wang Chen was not practicing in the underground secret room, and walked out immediately when he heard the noise.
"Ha!"
The monk who led the team saw Wang Chen and immediately laughed ferociously, "Wang Xiu, you have been recruited by the City Lord's Mansion, come with us!"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Wang Chen.
The power inherent in clenching the fingers into claws is obviously the move of Tendon-Severing Bone-Shattering Hand, but it is blessed with the power of Law Technique.
He talks about recruiting, but his actual actions are no different from catching pigs and sheep!
With a strong sense of insult.
Wang Chen's face was as heavy as water, and he did not dodge or dodge. He suddenly punched the claw that was reaching towards him.
Click!
This punch condensed 90% of Wang Chen's power. Grand Completion level's Vajra Fist was so powerful. The moment the fists and claws collided, the opponent's five fingers, palms and wrists instantly exploded into a ball of flesh and blood!
Wang Chen's punch increased sharply, missing the opponent's completely destroyed arm and hitting the opponent's chest.
Snap!
Extremely crisp and clean.
The seventh level of Qi Condensation monk didn't even have time to scream in agony as Wang Chen's fist struck him in the chest.
Wang Chen's long-prepared punch was so powerful that the opponent was completely unprepared, and his whole body suddenly flew backwards more than ten meters like a kite with its string broken.
It fell to the ground and lost its life.
This time, the other Rogue Cultivator present were scared to death.
They followed the leader to force Wang Chen, and their most important purpose was to gain some benefits.
I never expected that I would find a big shark when I fished!
Several Rogue Cultivator turned around and ran away.
As a result, as soon as they moved, a fierce Sword-Ray chased after them and cut off the heads mercilessly!
In just a few breaths, a group of Rogue Cultivator who could be called elites were completely killed by Wang Chen.
One of them, Rogue Cultivator, died on the threshold stone, with his upper body lying outside and his back half missing. The death was very miserable.
Wang Chen used Object Manipulation Technique to collect the body and remove the items including the storage bag.
The last one is burned and given away, two Rebirth Talisman, four Exorcism Talisman are done!
After counting the loot after burning it, Wang Chen found that he had made another small windfall!

The second update is sent.
