Among these independent cultivators, it wasn't just this couple and the Zhuang Family who had lost their child; however, they were closer to the Zhuang Family, so they searched together.

Chen Wang followed the sound and walked forward, glancing at them indifferently. Sun Hongsheng and Zhou Hong were both veterans of the Market.

Chen Wang was not unfamiliar with him, but they had no real relationship.

"Did something happen to Zhuang Yi Cui Mingxiu?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "Is there something in the mountains, or have they found some clues?"

Others may not know, but Chen Wang knows. He once told Cui Mingxiu that the monkeys in the mountains were suspected to be related to their lost child, which was something Chen Wang vaguely felt was not right.

Immediately, a thought struck him, and he extended his spiritual power.

Cultivators in the Qi Refining stage cannot use their Divine Sense; at most, they can only use internal vision. However, Chen Wang is different. He is a third-tier Gene Soldier Mind Master, and his mental power is extremely strong.

When I saw Zhou Hong's haggard face just now, I had a vague feeling that I couldn't quite put my finger on, a sense of incongruity.

So he silently swept out his mental energy.

However, after scanning the two with his mental energy, he found nothing unusual.

However, it seemed that Zhou Hong's physical condition was not as bad as her complexion appeared.

Chen Wang withdrew his gaze, observed for a moment, and then turned to leave.

The Cultivation World is also extremely dangerous, especially recently with the Red Cloud Sect clashing with other forces. There are people lurking both openly and secretly, hunting each other down.

Some time ago, even disciples of the Red Cloud Sect were killed one after another; several died.

Not to mention the rogue cultivators living at the bottom of society, life and death are commonplace in the Cultivation World.

After nightfall,

In the Slum Area, a lamp was lit in Sun Hongsheng and Zhou Hong's room. In the cultivation world, many things are rare treasures in the mortal Cultivation World. For example, this lamp was made of a special kind of Demon Beast oil, which could burn for a very long time and was not afraid of wind and rain.

The couple sat facing each other in silence, but the lamplight cast shadows on their faces, making them appear unpredictable.

Sun Hongsheng said slowly, "The Red Cloud Sect has been conducting strict investigations lately. In my opinion, it would be better to slow down our cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hong said with disdain, "Following someone as incompetent as you, it's been incredibly difficult to get ahead. Now that we've finally found a top-tier cultivation method in the Green Crane True Immortal's Tomb, you're telling me we're not going to practice it anymore!"

Sun Hongsheng frowned. "It's not that we're not going to practice anymore, but we're just going to lay low for a while."

"Zhuang Yi has seen through the clues this time, which means that this matter is not so foolproof. We still need to be careful."

Zhou Hong, a woman of sharp tongue, coldly said, "We've already killed that couple and disposed of their bodies. What are you afraid of?"

After a moment of silence, Sun Hongsheng slowly said, "I just feel a little uneasy. Even though we do things so secretly, some monkey still saw us. And that Zhuang Yi, I've known him for years, and I never knew he knew so many Law Techniques."

Zhou Hong gave him a cold look. "Useless man! Who in the Cultivation World doesn't have secrets? What's the use of having some tricks and trump cards?"

"The Demon Binding Rope in Cui Mingxiu's hands is Superior Grade Magic Tool, and now it has fallen into our hands. This is a blessing in disguise, yet you are still so timid and hesitant!"

Sun Hongsheng was speechless. After being relentlessly criticized by his wife, he slowly said, "Then let's keep going."

Zhou Hong sneered, "Of course."

Sun Hongsheng did not speak again.

I struggled for a moment, but now that I'm about to continue, I suddenly think of that taste and can't help but lick my lips.

Zhou Hong suddenly said, "There's someone I need to get rid of; I almost forgot about them."

Sun Hongsheng said, "Are you talking about Chen Wang, the one who informed the Zhuang Family couple?"

Zhou Hong nodded. "That's right, it was that kid who discovered the monkey thing. He didn't say a word in the crowd today, he just kept looking us over."

"Others may not understand this matter, and that kid only has a vague understanding now, but who knows what problems might arise in the future? It's better to kill him sooner rather than later!"

Sun Hongsheng frowned. His wife was becoming increasingly unfamiliar. She used to be just mean-spirited, but now she had become ruthless.

He seemed oblivious to the fact that his own personality had become much darker and more cruel, capable of murdering his own blood relatives; clearly, there was a problem between them.

Sun Hongsheng tucked his hands into his sleeves and said slowly, "This kid is poor and destitute. His Early Stage Qi Refining, or at most the early to mid-stage. He's nothing to be afraid of."

Zhou Hong said in a cold voice, "Kill him to prevent any unforeseen complications!"

The couple exchanged a cold glance, their eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent.

After nightfall,

Chen Wang sat cross-legged, cultivating the Profound Fire True Art. The Law Power cultivated by this Method Formula was extremely hot, and after being tempered, the Spiritual Qi was more easily absorbed by the human body.

He has a daily habit of sitting cross-legged in meditation. If he is not visiting his close friend Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya, he will usually meditate until late at night before going to sleep.

At this moment, Chen Wang was circulating his Profound Fire True Art, absorbing Spiritual Qi much faster than before. Suddenly, however, Chen Wang opened his eyes, his gaze becoming incredibly sharp. He faintly heard rustling sounds, as if something was crawling.

Chen Wang glanced around the room but found nothing. He shook his head, seemingly unconcerned, and continued meditating cross-legged.

This time, he seemed deeply meditative, his expression calm and undisturbed.

Long, black hair seeped in silently through the crack in the door, spreading across the floor like a tidal wave, a sight that sent chills down one's spine! Under the lamplight, a handsome young man sat cross-legged, Cultivation Practice Method, circulating his energy throughout his body.

The floor under the bed was covered with dense, long hair, yet it was completely silent, as if it would devour Chen Wang at any moment!

Suddenly!

Chen Wang suddenly opened his eyes.

He hadn't been cultivating at all; he had simply been using his spiritual power to surround himself.

Seeing these long hairs seemingly appear out of thin air and spread towards her, she felt a surge of emotion.

Chen Wang formed Method Formula, and instantly three Fireball Technique flew out!

Three fireballs landed on the ground in a triangular formation.

The Law Technique was both fast and accurate, temporarily halting the movement of the long black hair.

However, it was as if boiling oil had been thrown into calm, icy water; Yin Qi suddenly appeared on his long, black hair.

The next moment, it will engulf Chen Wang!

A yellow light shone from Chen Wang's body.

Earth Spirit Ring! The Earth Spirit Ring formed a sphere that enveloped him.

The next moment, a small flag flew out of Chen Wang's hand.

The small golden flag instantly rose with the wind, transforming into a large banner! The long, black hair, dense and flowing like a tide, enveloped the circular protective shield Chen Wang had created using his Earth Spirit Ring.

As Chen Wang unleashed the Golden Flood Dragon Flag, a clear Dragon's Roar's roar resounded.

In an instant, it shook off those long black hairs!

The long, black hair emitted a strange, squeaking sound, as if it possessed a spirit! However, no sound came from Chen Wang's room; the Slum Area remained eerily quiet, not a single sound escaping.

Nobody noticed.
