Some people couldn't help but sigh, "This Foundation Establishment Senior is truly a chivalrous person. Such vicious villains should be killed, otherwise, wouldn't we also be at risk of being harmed while we are out there!"

Everyone agreed.

News spread quickly in the Slum Area, and everyone was talking about it. Soon, Chen Wang got the gist of it.

Especially Zhang Xuan, who's kind of ugly-handsome; his sister married a Red Cloud Sect Disciple.

He was extremely well-informed and revealed most of the inside details of the matter.

However, everyone was first astonished that a Foundation Establishment Senior had killed the Three Heroes of Qishan, and then became worried.

"Such a bloody incident in the Market is not a good sign; it may indicate some unrest!"

"Who says otherwise? They've been arresting mysterious outsiders for the past few days. This time, two stall owners and some Red Cloud Sect Disciple died in the Market. It's unheard of!"

"When gods fight, mortals suffer. Although no one usually targets rogue cultivators intentionally, if we are even slightly affected, we will not escape death!"

Everyone was deeply worried.

Many people were still gathered together discussing, but some of them had different expressions. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and if the Market were to descend into chaos, some people might take the opportunity to do something.

Chen Wang had already heard enough and should have left long ago, but hearing them praising that Foundation Establishment Senior made him linger a little longer.

It's nothing else, I just love listening to them brag.

"Foundation Establishment Senior, that's a good name," Chen Wang thought.

Suddenly, he was stopped by a female cultivator. This female cultivator had an oval face, a graceful figure, wore a plain white dress, and had her hair in a bun without any other decorations.

Seeing Feng Lin, Chen Wang felt a slight toothache.

"Sister-in-law, is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Wang asked.

Now she calls him "sister-in-law" so naturally, otherwise Feng Lin would have taken the opportunity to get closer to her.

Feng Lin said softly, "Lately, things have been very tense. My eyelids keep twitching, and I always feel like something bad is going to happen."

Chen Wang sighed, "Who says otherwise? It's been a long time since something this big has happened."

Feng Lin said, "Some time ago, two couples mysteriously disappeared, and someone even broke into the Slum Area to commit murder. As a woman, I'm a little scared."

Her eyes held a hint of sadness.

Chen Wang didn't respond, feeling that the woman was lusting after his body.

He casually touched the Cloud Pattern Ancient Coin he wore on his chest, infusing it with a trace of Law Power. This ancient coin could sense Yin Spirit spirits, but it did not react at this moment.

Feng Lin stepped forward and took Chen Wang's arm, saying softly, "How about I come to your place tonight? If anything happens, we can look out for each other."

This woman was always flirting with him, but Chen Wang didn't simply refuse. He was also curious about the woman's change and her current intentions.

He grabbed Feng Lin's hand and said, "What's meant to be will be, sister-in-law. I'm more scared than you are."

Feng Lin trembled slightly as Chen Wang held her hand, her eyes looking even more pitiful. "It's tough being alone in this world, we should take care of each other."

Chen Wang nodded and said, "That's how it should be."

He paused for a moment, then added, "But my house is too small, with only one bed, and as you know, I have no money. I really don't dare to presume to marry you, sister-in-law."

Feng Lin's hands were not cold; they were soft, smooth, and warm Ru Yu.

As soon as Chen Wang finished speaking, he released Feng Lin's hand, took a step back, cupped his hands, and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

He had just felt Feng Lin's hand; it was full of life and extremely hot.

Chen Wang didn't linger with Feng Lin any longer and left immediately.

Feng Lin: "..."

I thought all that I said would be of some use, but it turns out it was all for nothing!

Chen Wang circled around the crowd but did not continue to practice his skills in the woods.

His mental strength was powerful, and it was clearly reflected back on the screen.

After Chen Wang turned and left, Feng Lin stomped her foot slightly in annoyance, but didn't give him any sinister or ruthless look.

"Many villains in TV dramas will show that kind of look after they look away, but Feng Lin didn't notice anything wrong with it."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He wandered around the crowd, listened to people bragging for a while, and then left to practice his skills in his usual spot.

After consuming the Great Strength Pill, he progressed rapidly, mastering the Body Refining Cultivation Method from the Divine Elephant Visualization Diagram, and becoming thoroughly familiar with every fist technique.

It can strengthen every bone in your body and make your muscles and skin as hard as iron.

Chen Wang felt his internal Qi and Blood become more condensed and surge like thunder. After he activated it with all his might, his body was enveloped in a layer of Blood Qi, faintly glowing red.

His punches and kicks possess immense power, giving him a significant advantage in close combat.

Chen Wang took this matter very seriously.

He now possesses the Dark Combat Armor, which enhances his Qi and Blood, increases his defense, and further amplifies his lethality.

In addition, Chen Wang was also practicing the Three Realms Sword Art.

This Three Realms Sword Art contains Sword Qi within the meridians. He has now mastered three Sword Qi, and if he were to unleash them all at once, their power would be extremely strong!

Then he began practicing the Fire Serpent Technique.

He formed hand seals and chanted incantations. A two-foot-long fire snake appeared. The Fire Serpent Technique was an authentic intermediate-level Law Technique. Chen Wang had an extremely high affinity for flames and mastered the Law Technique very quickly. Otherwise, it would have taken him several years to even begin to understand it.

This Fire Serpent Technique has an extremely high temperature; a sudden burst can melt gold and iron, and it also has a certain degree of tracking capability.

"The only drawback of intermediate-level Law Technique is that it cannot be cast instantly; it can only be cast by using Law Artifact to defend against the opponent's attacks."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

Many cultivators in the Late-Stage Qi Refining stage also use basic Law Technique when fighting, which are fast and instantaneous, combined with some Law Artifact and talismans.

Intermediate-level Law Technique can only unleash unexpected power under certain circumstances.

You can choose not to use it, but you can't be ignorant of it—that's what it means.

After missing out on the Crimson Fire Rabbit last time, Chen Wang temporarily gave up his idea of beast taming. In a sense, this could be considered another system, using beast taming as a powerful combat force.

For Chen Wang, the reality was that those who were too low-level were beneath him, as they were useless, while those who were too high-level were difficult to subdue.

Therefore, Chen Wang's current plan is to first control this Gold Devouring Insect.

At the same time, I will master the Beast Taming Art and then further refine my skills when the opportunity arises.

"Let's stop looking for Demon Beast to subdue for now. We'd rather use that time to kill them, sell them for money, and improve our cultivation!"

Chen Wang was quite interested in the Soul Confusion Spell recorded by Green Crane True Immortal. Although he had extremely strong mental power, possessed skills like the Bewitching Eye, and had soul Law Artifact like the Soul-Seizing Red Pearl and the Brass Bell.

The Soul Confusion Spell can enhance his Mental Attack and strengthen his Bewitching Eye.

He had already tasted the benefits; during the Qi Refining stage, mental attacks had a significant advantage, and the same was true for the Bewitching Technique.

A bloody incident occurred in Red Cloud Sect Market, and another powerful rogue cultivator has come to this place to commit crimes.

"When the bloodshed occurred, the Three Heroes of Qishan were fighting with me in the mountains. There was someone else involved."

"The waters around the Red Cloud Sect are a bit deep."

Chen Wang sighed.

He desperately needs to improve his strength.
