Ambush!

Chen Wang had only glanced at it before roughly estimating the Zombies's strength, and then directly struck it dead with a bolt of lightning.

Although he had mastered the art of Corpse Control, this Zombies's strength was still somewhat insignificant in his eyes.

"To create a puppet, it must at least be a Foundation Establishment Realm Zombies," Chen Wang thought to himself.

Although Foundation Establishment Realm Zombies are extremely rare, he once had a Foundation Establishment Realm Female Corpse, which was later destroyed in the great battle of Nascent Soul Stage cultivator that gathered experts from the Northern Lands.

However, once a person's vision and taste improve, it becomes very difficult to lower them again.

To be fair, this Zombies is quite strong, but it's still far inferior to that Female Corpse; it's not even as good-looking as she is.

Chen Wang shook his head and composed himself. "This task is much simpler than the previous one."

However, as he flew through the sky on his sword, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound, as if an arrow was piercing the air!

Chen Wang felt a chill run down his spine, and his hair stood on end in an instant.

He immediately activated the Golden Spirit Pearl, and at that moment a golden light pierced through the sky, like a white rainbow cutting through the sun.

Chen Wang activated the Golden Spirit Pearl Golden Spirit Pearl, but although it was a powerful Spirit Artifact with extremely strong defensive attributes, it was still no match for the golden light and was directly pierced by it.

Chen Wang sensed the presence of death and, on a whim, headed towards the Winter.

Human thoughts change very quickly.

Chen Wang pushed the Bronze Gate in his Sea of Consciousness extremely fast, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye, avoiding a fatal attack.

He appeared in the Winter, a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Damn it, someone ambushed me!"

The room Chen Wang appeared in was magnificent, with a crystal chandelier and brightly colored oil paintings. The paintings depicted a woman with an extremely voluptuous figure, but she did not appear bloated; instead, she exuded allure.

Chen Wang frowned.

Meanwhile, in the Cultivation World of the Northern Lands, Sky Void Daoist was completely bewildered.

He held a longbow in his hand. The bow was black and 1.6 meters long, making him look very imposing.

He was in the woods at the moment, with four cultivators by his side.

Besides the two cultivators who had previously accompanied him to ambush Chen Wang, there were also Gui Xuanzi and Yuan Kang Real Person.

At this moment, all five of them looked surprised.

"Gone?"

Gui Xuanzi muttered to himself.

He said incredulously, "Could this be his family heirloom?"

"He said it could save his life in a critical moment, could it be this?"

However, Yuan Kang Real Person had a different opinion.

"Absolutely impossible. His family heirloom must be an offensive weapon; otherwise, how could it have killed that Demon Fox?"

Gui Xuanzi suddenly realized. "Yes, yes, that Demon Fox's methods are mysterious and unpredictable. Even we can't easily resist his Illusion Art. His family heirloom should be an offensive one."

The large bow in Sky Void Daoist's hand was now radiating a strong killing intent.

He just drew the bow two or three-tenths of the way and it unleashed terrifying power.

His arm was still a little numb, and the veins were bulging.

Sky Void Daoist offered his assessment. "It should be a life-saving talisman similar to the Five Elements Escape Talisman or the Escape Light Talisman. This kid is indeed very wealthy!"

Gui Xuanzi's eyes showed surprise. "Not bad, not bad, it should be this kind of item. His ancestors must have been very wealthy to leave him so many treasures."

Yuan Kang Real Person said disdainfully, "Cultivating immortality is going against the heavens. I have the utmost contempt for those who rely on the legacy of their ancestors, especially one who is a destitute person."

That's a bit sarcastic.

Sky Void Daoist interrupted the crowd's discussion.

"He has the Five Elements Escape Talisman, but he must be nearby. Everyone, don't separate, search for him."

The cultivator surnamed Sun said, "Why don't we split up and search? Wouldn't that be more efficient?"

Sky Void Daoist nodded. "That's right, that makes sense. Then we'll form a group of four, and you can form your own group."

The cultivator surnamed Sun: "..."

Chen Wang went to the Winter at the critical moment, avoiding a fatal arrow, the power of which still left him somewhat shaken.

"The Cultivation World is full of deadly dangers. You can't rely on one trick to survive. This time I used the Golden Spirit Pearl to block it. If I had been ambushed, I probably would have perished before I could even push the Bronze Gate open."

Chen Wang was still shaken, but then a murderous glint appeared in his eyes. "Who wants my life?"

Many thoughts raced through his mind.

They had just parted ways with Xu Qingyi and the others, but those people could never possibly have such a powerful trump card.

Chen Wang's eyes narrowed involuntarily, and a figure quickly appeared in his mind. "Sky Void Daoist."

He had recently clashed with Sky Void Daoist, and the two even fought. He defeated Sky Void Daoist, causing him to lose face.

Although he had some karmic ties with the Profound Yin Sect, most of it had been settled. He was also extremely ruthless, and none of his former enemies survived.

"No matter what, Sky Void Daoist is highly suspicious."

With a thought, Chen Wang returned to the Feathered Ethereal Immortal Sect Ethereal Immortal Sect and appeared beside it.

This is a characteristic of Bronze Gate; you leave a mark beforehand, and it will appear here when you return.

This Ethereal Immortal Sect has a mountain-guarding formation and several powerful cultivators stationed there, including several experts at the Golden Core Stage.

Chen Wang did not leave the mark here, but left it in the outer mountains, just like he did at the Red Cloud Sect.

He didn't hide in the Winter and dare not show himself after being hit by this inexplicable arrow; instead, he chose to return immediately.

Not only that, he immediately activated the power of the prayer beads, changing his appearance and physique, and changing his clothes so that he looked like an ordinary person.

He arrived at the foot of the mountain of the Ethereal Immortal Sect, his eyes gazing at the sky.

"If it was someone from the Ethereal Immortal Sect who plotted against me, they would have returned after the matter was over, and no one would have known that I would suddenly appear here."

It couldn't possibly be that fast, no matter how fast.

Unless he's a cheater.

Chen Wang was guarding the foot of the mountain at this time.

He kept an eye on the monks returning from outside.

His Divine Sense was extremely powerful, making him the most suitable person to do this.

During this period, two groups of people left the Ethereal Immortal Sect, and three groups returned, but he remained inactive.

Once the ability of the prayer beads to change his appearance wore off, he became even more careful to conceal his aura so that others would not notice him.

When Chen Wang saw several figures in the sky, his pupils immediately contracted.

The leader was Sky Void Daoist, and the people around him were none other than Gui Xuanzi, Yuan Kang Real Person, and others.

"There are five Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in total."

Chen Wang's pupils contracted, and a murderous intent appeared in his eyes, but he quickly lowered his head to avoid being noticed by others.

At this point, he could be basically certain.

Because among the groups that left earlier, there was only one Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, while the others were Qi Refining cultivators, which the disciples of the sect simply could not accomplish.

"No wonder I had been holding back all this time, no wonder these people were trying to curry favor with me, they really had ulterior motives."

A chilling glint appeared in Chen Wang's eyes.

"This Ethereal Immortal Sect isn't easy to navigate, but it's also quite interesting."

Chen Wang smiled.

He returned to the Ethereal Immortal Sect after dark and went back to his residence.

The mountain where he was located was the residence of the Guest Elder.

Chen Wang extended his Divine Sense Divine Sense, which was far more powerful than that of ordinary cultivators. Therefore, he immediately discovered that someone was investigating him when he returned.

Chen Wang feigned weakness, his steps unsteady as if he had been completely drained, and he coughed incessantly.

He covered his mouth with a handkerchief every time he coughed, as if he had experienced something terrible.

He staggered back to his residence before pushing open the door and going inside.

The place where he lived was shrouded in an array; no one but himself could enter.

Unless you break through the formation by force, but that would leave traces.

Therefore, the Ethereal Immortal Sect is quite considerate of the privacy of these Guest Elder.

After Chen Wang returned to his residence, he withdrew the gazes that had been directed at him.

Gui Xuanzi and Yuan Kang were together at that moment.

Gui Xuanzi said, "It seems that the methods he used earlier were quite taxing on him."

Yuan Kang Real Person realized. "That's right. In my opinion, the arrow earlier didn't hurt him, but he was so badly injured that he was completely drained. It shows that the price he paid was heavy."

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

Although they didn't find Chen Wang outside, seeing that Chen Wang returned after dark and looked disheveled, they began to look down on Chen Wang.

Previously, it was just a little trickery that made him so embarrassed and almost killed him.

"Going it alone is ultimately not advisable. Without the support of resources and without anyone behind you, you will find it difficult to make any progress in the Cultivation World."

"Yuan Kang Real Person said."

They could naturally tell that Sky Void Daoist had powerful backers.

Having cultivated to this level, one must be incredibly shrewd after so many years of practice.

In comparison, Chen Wang, who was outnumbered and outmatched, was easier to deal with, even though his previous methods were somewhat ruthless.

After this incident, their initial apprehension towards Chen Wang finally dissipated.

Chen Wang's ability to kill that Demon Fox had indeed surprised them.

Later, it was discovered that he had a True Disciple of Embrace Emerald Peak as his Daoist partner, which made people even more wary and confused.

However, all their worries were dispelled at this moment, and they were only thinking about how to get rid of Chen Wang.

Sky Void Daoist was also one of the few eyes watching Chen Wang.

He then looked away, a smile appearing on his lips.

Unlike the others, he knew that Chen Wang had been brought back to the mountain by that Nascent Soul Old Ancestor, and he was more wary of him than the others. However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he never revealed this matter.

"Our Old Ancestor acts unpredictably; he may only bring back an ordinary Guest Elder and not show him any favor."

Sky Void Daoist thought to himself.

He gently stroked the black longbow in his hand; the longbow was incredibly powerful, which surprised even him.

"Elder Huo lent me such a treasure and even allowed me to return it after killing Chen Wang. It really made me feel powerful."

This black longbow is called the Immortal Slaughtering Bow. It is incredibly powerful, but it was only lent to him temporarily, and he was able to unleash its power without refining it.

Sky Void Daoist had a bold guess in his mind: perhaps the Immortal Slaughtering Bow was not a Spirit Artifact at all, but a true Law Treasure, and only such a treasure could have such power.

"If I could truly possess such a treasure, what would I fear among the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators? And in the future, when I condense my Golden Core, I would probably have a means of self-defense."

He couldn't help but feel a little envious, his fingers gently stroking the longbow as if caressing a lover's skin.

This was lent to him by Huo Yun. He worked for Huo Yun, but he never knew that Huo Yun had such a profound background, the more he felt that he had chosen the right side.

After returning to the mountain gate, Chen Wang fell seriously ill and appeared extremely weak.

Gui Xuanzi and Yuan Kang Real Person paid a visit the next day.

They had deliberately befriended Chen Wang beforehand so that they wouldn't seem so out of place at this moment.

The two were greatly shocked to see Chen Wang's pale face and unsteady gait.

Gui Xuanzi asked with concern, "Fellow Daoist, what happened to you?"

Chen Wang said weakly, "It's nothing. That Zombies was causing havoc in the area. By the time I arrived, it had already become quite a force to be recuperated. I was accidentally injured by it, but I'll recover after a period of rest."

Chen Wang spoke weakly, and his appearance didn't seem like he was faking it.

Gui Xuanzi sighed, "If I had known it would be so dangerous, I should have gone with you and given you a hand."

Yuan Kang Real Person also chimed in.

The two sat there for a while, and seeing that Chen Wang was really very weak, they got up and left.

Chen Wang said, "I'm afraid I'll have to close my doors to visitors for a while. Please understand, fellow Daoists."

Gui Xuanzi said, "Of course, just take good care of yourself during this time, and we won't bother you."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's have a drink together after you've recovered," said Yuan Kang Real Person.

After the two left, Chen Wang closed the door and returned to his room.

His previous weakness was half feigned and half a side effect of training his Divine Sense.

Chen Wang now finds himself secretly enjoying the feeling of pushing his Divine Sense to the limit.

With that feeling, coupled with his Oscar-worthy acting skills, he naturally fooled the two of them.

"He visited the next day, eagerly testing the waters, showing genuine affection."

"If it weren't for the extremely strict rules of the Ethereal Immortal Sect, they probably wouldn't have been able to restrain themselves and would have taken action here to eliminate me."

Chen Wang smiled slightly.

The sound of arrows piercing the air that day still echoed in his ears; it was incredibly powerful.

These people also seemed to be fearless and not in a hurry to get rid of him while he was weak.

Several days later, Gui Xuanzi left the sect.

As Guest Elder, he also had to complete tasks at times.

That's why I left the sect that day.

However, his task was relatively easy, almost nothing more than going through the motions.

This is the advantage of having connections in higher positions.

During this time, he worked diligently to eliminate Chen Wang, and naturally, he received some protection.

Chen Wang Chen Wang's house remained tightly shut, and people were constantly watching his movements.

For example, there was Yuan Kang Real Person, who could be called Chen Wang's drinking buddy.

At this moment, he was standing next to a willow tree, his gaze fixed on Chen Wang's house.

However, he was unaware that Chen Wang had appeared in the mountains and wilderness.

He first went to the Winter, then Cultivation World, deceiving everyone and avoiding all eyes.

at this time,

He watched as Gui Xuanzi Gui Xuanzi wind and disappeared into the sky.

He gave a cold laugh, "You little bastard!"
