Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 626: Chapter 626 Temporary Compromise

“Stop!”

Before the cultivator in the green robe and the older cultivator could make a move, Wang Chen, holding the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon aloft, said in a chilling tone, “If you don’t want your little sister to turn into an Evil Wraith, then stop where you are!”

The cultivator in the green robe had just summoned a golden mace, about to strike at Wang Chen.

However, upon hearing Wang Chen’s words, he forcibly stopped in mid-motion, nearly spitting out blood!

He clutched the magical treasure in his hand tightly and asked with hatred, “What do you want?”

Wang Chen slightly smiled.

Although the other party was ferocious in speech, this tone was already a sign of weakness.

It indicated that he had just caught a trump card!

Is this guy a simpering lackey or what?

He must be!

Wang Chen’s mind was clear, and he immediately put on a stern face, “What do I want? I should be asking you, what are you trying to do?”

“I have no grievance or enmity with you, and yet you want to capture me to be used as material for talisman testing. May I ask where do you get the gall to question what I want?”

The cultivator in the green robe was choked up to death, and his eyes were reddened with anger.

The older cultivator beside him seemed much more mature and composed, calmly saying, “Fellow Daoist, it was our mistake earlier, and we are willing to offer an apology.”

“But if you think that by capturing our little sister, you can make us submit and do as you please, you are gravely mistaken!”

He stared at Wang Chen, saying word for word, “We, the Luo Clan members, will not succumb to any threats!”

“Very well.” @@novelbin@@

Wang Chen suddenly stretched out a finger, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the white-robed cultivator!

Although the strike was blocked by the ancient bell the older cultivator had previously summoned, the white-robed cultivator, already jumpy, trembled and instinctively shrank back.

All his courage and will to fight were crushed by Wang Chen’s hand.

In the face of life and death lies great fear; the more arrogant and overbearing someone is on regular days, the more likely they are to fear death!

“You!”

The older cultivator was furious, instinctively wanting to teach Wang Chen a lesson but then he saw the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon held high.

He swallowed a mouthful of old blood and said gravely, “Speak, how do you want to let the little sister go?”

The older cultivator had already realized that Wang Chen was a tough nut to crack, hard to chew and inflexible, and with considerable strength as well; the tactics he excelled at were of no use here.

With no other choice, he had to lower his stance and negotiate with Wang Chen from a more pragmatic approach.

“Leave behind your storage bags…”

Seeing the change in both of their expressions, Wang Chen continued indifferently, “You certainly won’t be willing to do that, so make a heart demon oath, promising you will never trouble me again, and I’ll release your little sister.”

If possible, Wang Chen truly wanted to kill all these people.

But he was very clear that this was unrealistic.

Each one of the other party’s members was not weak, and they all had good equipment. Offspring of the Immortal Clan like them often had life-saving trump cards when experiencing the outside world.

Don’t think that Wang Chen has the upper hand now; it’s entirely because he caught them by surprise.

If it were a head-to-head contest, even if Wang Chen could win, he would have to pay a very steep price!

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he did not push the others into a corner.

A heart demon oath!

The older cultivator and the cultivator in the green robe couldn’t help but look at each other.

Because it involved karma, cultivators rarely made vows, let alone such a heavy vow as a heart demon oath.

Once the oath is made, even if one does not break it, it might still affect one’s fate!

However, with their backs against the wall, unless the two disregarded the well-being of the girl in the yellow skirt, they had to accept Wang Chen’s suggestion and swear never to trouble him again.

“Fine!”

The older cultivator was also decisive, hesitating for only a moment, “We will make the oath.”

“He must make it too.”

Wang Chen pointed to the cultivator in white who was still spitting out blood.

The elder cultivator replied without any expression on his face, “No problem.”

He also had his conditions, “But you must also swear an oath, to never go back on your word.”

“There’s no need for that,” Wang Chen said indifferently, “I have never broken any promise in my life!”

The elder cultivator felt a surge of hatred, but was helpless to act on it.

Having already kneeled, bowing his head was not too much additional of a concession, even though he harbored extreme hatred for Wang Chen, he showed no hint of emotion.

So, the three Purple Mansion cultivators made a heart-devil oath in front of Wang Chen.

After they had finished, Wang Chen nodded slightly and flicked open the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon.

He released the woman in the yellow dress.

In fact, if he didn’t release her then, the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon wouldn’t have been able to hold on for much longer.

Although the woman in the yellow dress had the weakest cultivation level among them, she was also a Purple Mansion Superior, and the chart required a significant amount of She Qi to collect or seal anything within it.

It was only because it had absorbed enough She Qi during this time that it was able to hold her at all!

The woman in the yellow dress rolled on the ground two turns, then suddenly sprang up, exclaiming, “Second brother, seventh brother!”

The cultivator in the green robe hurriedly came forward, wanting to take her hand but ultimately refraining, “Little sister, it’s all right now.”

In the next moment, the woman in the yellow dress threw herself into the arms of the elder cultivator.

The green-robed cultivator’s eyes twitched, revealing a smile that looked uglier than crying.

Wang Chen watched, feeling that their relationship was a bit messy.

But it was not unusual for fellow Sect cultivators to become Dao companions, and Wang Chen had no interest in meddling in their grievances and affections, preparing to leave immediately.

“Hold on,” the elder cultivator suddenly spoke, “May I ask for your esteemed name and surname?”

Wang Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly, “What do you mean by that?”

They had already completely fallen out with each other; how could he possibly tell the other his true name?

The Luo Clan’s Purple Mansion cultivator didn’t seem to be intellectually deficient either.

The elder cultivator released the woman in the yellow dress from his embrace and said while looking at Wang Chen, “With your strength, it’s too much of a waste for you to wander as a loose cultivator in the wilderness. How about joining our Luo Clan?”

“I can guarantee you the status of an Immortal Register!”

“Second brother!” The woman in the yellow dress and the green-robed cultivator both were stunned.

A moment ago they were fighting to the death, and now they were inviting their enemy into their own family; the two couldn’t wrap their minds around it so swiftly.

The elder cultivator said with a smile, “Rest assured, once you’re part of the Luo family, you’re one of our clan. The grievances between us will naturally be wiped clean. As long as you serve our Luo family with sincerity and loyalty, then…”

“I take my leave!” Wang Chen, not wanting to listen any longer, immediately dashed away.

The other party was undoubtedly a significant figure, with the ability to be yielding or unyielding and a deep schemer, and his conduct had the air of a great chieftain.

But even if he genuinely wanted to recruit Wang Chen, Wang Chen would not consider accepting.

On the contrary, if there was an opportunity in the future, Wang Chen would definitely take revenge for today’s incident.

The temporary compromise was just to facilitate better revenge!

Moreover, Wang Chen did not believe that, after making a heart-devil oath, they truly would cease causing trouble for him.

Whether it was a Dao oath or any other kind of oath, there were ways to break or circumvent them.

He sped away, leaving the White Dragon Great Marsh far behind.
