Running Out of Steam

Chen Wang waved the Golden Flood Dragon Flag in his hand.

The Golden Flood Dragon Flag is not an offensive Law Artifact, but a defensive Law Artifact.

One of them contained the aura of a dragon, and after activating magical Law Power, a faint Dragon's Roar's roar could be heard.

A tidal wave of long black hair rushed towards them, but it surrounded Chen Wang and dared not go any further!

Chen Wang formed a hand Method Formula and cast Evil Subduing Spell. Several Evil Subduing Spell landed on the long black hair, causing it to twist wildly! However, at this moment, cold sweat streamed down Chen Wang's forehead, and his face was pale. He looked like he had exhausted a lot of Law Power, and he seemed to be still a little scared. He seemed to be struggling to control the golden banner in his hand. However, the next moment, seeing that the black hair could not be defeated, it retreated and disappeared without a trace in an instant!

In another room, Sun Hongsheng gazed at his well-maintained wife, Zhou Hong. Although she was mean-spirited, she was quite voluptuous with fair skin and was very charming at times.

However, the couple's personalities have changed drastically, and they have lost much of their interest in such matters.

At this moment, Zhou Hong's face suddenly felt as if it were burning, and she couldn't help but gasp softly, covering her fair cheek! Sun Hongsheng immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Hong gritted her teeth and said, "That Chen Wang has a golden flag in his hand, which is extremely powerful, like Superior Grade Magic Tool!"

"Moreover, he can cast Law Technique very quickly, but his Law Power is insufficient and his cultivation is not high enough."

Sun Hongsheng was stunned. "Superior Grade Magic Tool? That Chen Wang?"

Zhou Hong gave him a cold look and said disdainfully, "Not bad, you look like an unremarkable kid, but you actually have Superior Grade Magic Tool. You should reflect on yourself."

Sun Hongsheng's feelings were complicated.

At his age, it's normal to be disliked by one's wife; he's long been used to it. It's just that Chen Wang looks impoverished, yet he unexpectedly possesses such a valuable item.

In an instant, Sun Hongsheng had murderous intent. "This person must not be allowed to live!"

Before the words were even finished, a clear voice echoed throughout the area, "Fire!"

Chen Wang immediately pushed open the door and went out, shouting loudly. Despite his young age and robust physique, his voice was booming, attracting the attention of many people.

Many people in the Slum Area pushed open their doors and came out. In the dead of night, a young man suddenly shouted that there was a fire, which obviously attracted the attention of these nervous cultivators.

Chen Wang possessed powerful mental strength; with just a casual glance, he noticed several unfamiliar faces.

These strangers were either newly joined Market cultivators or cultivators from other forces lurking in this place.

However, the latter possibility is very small. After the severe crackdown by the Red Cloud Sect, they certainly won't be able to openly hide in the Slum Area anymore. Chen Wang is thinking about something else now.

"Does the Red Cloud Sect have any people lying in ambush here?"

His voice rang out repeatedly as he continued to shout, "Fire! Fire!"

"Fire! Someone, come quick!"

The cultivation world is characterized by its cold and indifferent nature, with people being rather detached from human relationships.

Although the unaffiliated cultivators in this Slum Area together for mutual support, if someone were to shout "murder," they might not be so eager to come out and watch the spectacle.

Seeing that there was no fire or thick smoke coming from Chen Wang's residence, it was rather strange for him to shout that there was a fire.

However, his outrageous actions have attracted a lot of attention.

A man with a long face couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Chen, why aren't you sleeping at this hour? Are you acting drunk and disorderly?"

Where is the fire?

Upon hearing this, Chen Wang immediately shouted, "I misspoke! It wasn't a fire. The room was just filled with long black hair, and it looked Yin Qi. Someone wanted to kill me!"

Upon hearing this, the Horse-faced Man couldn't help but gasp, "Hiss."

He suddenly felt that his question was unnecessary. "You're being targeted and someone wants to kill you. Whether it's a revenge killing or a crime of passion, it has nothing to do with me, Old Ma!" Many people around him glanced at him, not expecting that there was such a thing behind the fire.

Chen Wang shouted loudly, and soon two Red Cloud Sect Disciple arrived on the wind.

They arrived quickly.

Chen Wang thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

There's been some undercurrent in the Market lately, so the Red Cloud Sect must have planted people here.

One of the Red Cloud Sect Disciple coldly asked, "Was it an accidental fire or is someone trying to kill you?"

Chen Wang immediately said, "I was terrified just now, someone was trying to kill me!"

"Moreover, it was an unorthodox Law Technique, and that long black hair looked extremely creepy!"

Chen Wang revealed the truth in a single sentence, making it public.

Sun Hongsheng and his wife, who came out of the door, had a slight change in expression. Their eyes met in the air. "This kid is hard to fathom."

Sun Hongsheng lowered his head to suppress the murderous intent in his eyes, then put on a normal expression, looking somewhat curious, nothing more.

Chen Wang reported the matter to the Red Cloud Sect Disciple, saying that someone in the Market wanted to kill him.

Two Red Cloud Sect Disciple took him away for questioning.

In a large, clean room

Two Red Cloud Sect Disciple sat down on either side of them; the man was handsome and dashing, and the woman was pretty and graceful.

The man said slowly, "What exactly happened? Tell me from the beginning."

Chen Wang immediately said, "I was meditating in my room earlier when I suddenly saw a woman's black hair rushing in from all directions through the crack in the door!"

"I quickly activated the Evil Subduing Spell, which consumed a Golden Armor Talisman, and only then was I able to escape. After that, the black woman's long hair disappeared without a trace."

The two Red Cloud Sect Disciple exchanged a glance, and the man said in a deep voice, "Is there something that wants to kill you? What unclean thing have you provoked?"

Chen Wang shook his head. "I don't know either."

Seeing that they couldn't get much information out of him, the two men let Chen Wang go.

However, this meant that many people's attention was now focused on Chen Wang.

Now, Sun Hongsheng and his wife can no longer make another move, and their feelings are becoming increasingly complicated.

"Who would have thought that an honest, middle-aged man could summon ghosts and Beast Taming Art?"

"This young man was destitute, but he possessed a Superior Grade Magic Tool."

Sun Hongsheng cursed inwardly, "Damn it, what kind of world is this!"

In this way, at least they won't target Chen Wang tonight, and many people's attention will definitely be on him.

Nothing more was said that night. The next day, Chen Wang finished his cultivation and, as usual, went into the mountains to practice his Law Technique.

Last night, his performance clearly showed a lack of stamina; cold sweat streamed down his forehead, as if he had been pushed to the brink.

It was all to create the illusion that he lacked Law Power.

After training, Chen Wang quickly wiped himself down and ate a meal before heading into the mountains to hunt.

After entering the mountain, he was intrigued by a Spirit Beast Rabbit and chased after it. However, Chen Wang was panting heavily and looked no match for the Spirit Beast Rabbit.

But from some point onward, the direction the Spirit Beast Rabbit led him to became somewhat remote. The old trees here had gnarled roots and bared their claws, and the locust trees were as thick as three or four people could hug, making it very eerie.

Chen Wang suddenly lost track of the Spirit Beast Rabbit, but saw a middle-aged man with narrow eyes who looked somewhat honest. He was none other than Sun Hongsheng, a beginner Alchemist.

Sun Hongsheng asked in surprise, "Xiao Chen, what are you doing here?"

Chen Wang responded, greeted them, and said with a smile, "I thought I'd come to the mountains to relax, and I was itching to hunt a rabbit, but I lost it."

Sun Hongsheng smiled slightly, "So it's Fellow Daoist Chen."

But in my heart, I felt a sense of disdain.

This kind of rabbit isn't particularly fast, yet Chen Wang still managed to lose track of it.

"It seems he relied on the power of his Law Artifact last night. Heh, he's still too young. He can't handle Superior Grade Magic Tool at all."

Sun Hongsheng felt a surge of joy and excitement.
