Chapter 270 Being Recruited

After drinking a few glasses of the spiritual wine Wang Chen brought, Chen Qi's chatterbox suddenly opened up.

Wang Chen learned from his mouth the fundamental reason why Dongwuzhai became what it is now.

Guiyuanmen and Wufeng Mountain, which were originally divided up in Yunyang's hometown, have recently taken frequent actions against the scattered repair cities and villages in the area under their jurisdiction.

The two sects required these villages to pay grain and taxes, and forced a large number of casual cultivators to work in the mines and hunting grounds.

In the past, when the Yunyang sect was dominant, they basically had a free-range attitude towards the foreign cities and fortresses. At most, they relied on the sect's resource advantages to harvest casual cultivators.

Although the lives of casual cultivators are far inferior to those of sect disciples, their survival is no problem.

When there is a bad harvest in Lingtian, the Yunyang Sect will also requisition grain from Daqian and supply it to the market at a relatively low price, so that even casual cultivators can have enough to eat.

Now it's Guiyuan Sect and Wufeng Mountain, their methods are much more cruel 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 casual cultivators fled the walled city with their families.

He ran to Dongwuzhai to take refuge.

Everyone thinks that the city lord of Dongwuzhai is a member of Zifu, 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 Dongwuzhai to survive.

Coupled with other reasons, Dongwuzhai was overcrowded!

The most terrible thing is that Xin Han has been in seclusion, and all power is in the hands of his concubine and the Golden Snake Master.

The two of them opened the door to convenience without any restrictions on outside monks.

Dongwuzhai is in such chaos now, and these siblings are indispensable!

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you must be careful."

Chen Qi lowered his voice and said: "The Golden Snake Master has sent people to find you several times, and they will not give up."

"I heard that many fellow Taoists 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 turn into a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and the recruits are like 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 casual cultivators.

It is not easy to survive in the outside world, and the walled city is their shelter. No one is willing to leave easily unless they have no choice.

Chen Qi brought his family with him, so he didn't dare to take risks.

And living in another place may not be better, it might even be worse!

"Um."

Wang Chen nodded to show that he understood.

There are thousands of monks in Dongwuzhai, but the only one he fears is the city lord Xin Han.

As for the Hehuan sect female cultivator and the Golden Snake gentleman, Wang Chen didn't take it to heart.

With his current strength, he is invincible under Zi Mansion!

For Wang Chen, the top priority right now is to practice until Qi is perfect and prepare for promotion to the Zifu.

The second step is to collect the resources needed to break the orifice and open the mansion.

And once he is promoted to Zifu, Dongwuzhai 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 Taoist companion or concubine."

"Madam, I would like to introduce you to Fellow Daoist Wang!"

As a result, Mrs. Chen who was sitting next to her slapped her on the head: "You drank too much!"

Mrs. Chen is much smarter than Chen Qi. She has long seen that Wang Chen is focused on practicing without love, which is completely different from those casual cultivators who just muddle along and only seek happiness in front of them.

Why does such a person need her to introduce Taoist companions?

Wang Chen didn't know whether to 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 the market to buy and exchange things, he basically never left home.

Hiding in the underground secret room and practicing hard.

The experience of Five Elements Gong is increasing day by day, and it is very close to perfection.

However, the beginning of the new year did not make the situation in Dongwuzhai stable and peaceful, but instead became more chaotic.

This walled city originally accommodated only ten thousand people, but now has a combined number of permanent and temporary residents of at least thirty to forty thousand.

With so many people eating, drinking, sleeping, and the food supply being extremely tight, it would be weird if nothing happened!

Wang Chen didn't go out easily, which meant that he was out of sight and out of mind.

However, things in the world are always not as expected.

boom!

Before the first month of the first lunar month, the recently replaced courtyard door of Wang Chen's house 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, and Wang Chen was not practicing in the underground secret room. He immediately walked out when he heard the noise.

"ha!"

When the monk who led the team saw Wang Chen, he immediately laughed ferociously: "Wang Xiu, you have been recruited by the City Lord's Mansion, come with us!"

As he said that, he reached out and grabbed Wang Chen.

The strength inherent in clenching the fingers into claws is clearly a trick of splitting the muscles and bones of the hand, but it is blessed with the power of a spell.

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 dark as water, he did not dodge or dodge, and suddenly punched the claw that was stretched out towards him.

Click!

This punch condensed 90% of Wang Chen's strength. The Dzogchen-level 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 fist power increased greatly, and he missed the opponent's completely destroyed arm and hit the opponent's chest.

Snapped!

Extremely crisp and clean.

The monk who was at the seventh level of Qi training had no time to scream, 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 casual cultivators present were frightened out of their wits.

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 casual cultivators turned around and ran away.

As a result, as soon as they moved, a sharp sword light chased them and cut off the heads mercilessly!

In just a few breaths, a group of elite casual cultivators were killed by Wang Chen.

One of the casual cultivators died on the threshold stone, with his upper body lying outside and his back half missing. His death was very miserable.

Wang Chen used the Object Controlling Technique to collect the corpse and took off the items including the storage bag.

The last one is burned and given away, two rebirth talismans and four evil-proofing talismans are done!

After counting the loot after burning it, Wang Chen found that he had made another small windfall!

The second update is sent.
