Chapter 781.
Looking at the young man in front of him who was sipping tea opposite him, Zhao Zhenxuan’s heart was filled with emotions.
He had broken through the Marrow Refining Realm when he was Wang Chen’s age, and was regarded as a prideful figure, and had also received key cultivation from his family, achieving Houtian in only three years.
Such a speed of improvement was considered extremely fast, but compared to the sixteen year old innate Wang Chen, it was simply scum!
Zhao Zhenxuan knew very well that the killing intent he had just developed stemmed from his jealousy.
If Wang Chen was as outstanding as he was, it would be just a matter of time before he transcended into the Dao.
This was exactly what Zhao Zhenxuan couldn’t do.
An innate powerhouse was also a body of flesh and blood with seven emotions and six desires, if he was indifferent to this, that would be strange.
However, Zhao Zhenxuan was not an ordinary person after all, able to achieve innate, has its own temperament pattern.
After pondering for a while, the Red Cliff City’s City Lord put down the teacup in his hand and asked, “Little friend Wang, may I ask what path you have followed?”
Although he had temporarily given up on the idea of killing, he couldn’t rest easy without figuring out Wang Chen’s bottom line.
Wang Dust replied frankly, “My master is from the Wuji Sect.”
Wuji Sect?
Zhao Zhenxuan froze.
He had really heard of the Wuji Sect’s name, and even knew that this sect only had Shao Hongcheng’s legacy left today.
He didn’t expect that the Wuji Sect, which was on the verge of extinction, had produced a heavenly talent!
Only to hear Wang Chen continue, “City Lord Zhao, just say what you have to say!”
Having reached this point, it was pointless to hide it.
Zhao Zhenxuan was dumbfounded.
On second thought, he nodded and said, “Good, then I’ll get right to the point.”
“Little friend Wang, since you’ve already achieved innate, why are you still staying in Red Cliff City and not going to the Taiwu Holy Land to record the list?”
Wang Chen: “Taiwu Holy Land?”
Zhao Zhenxuan was shocked, “You don’t know about the Taiwu Holy Land?”
Wang Chen really didn’t know.
But he had a carry-on old grandpa who had reincarnated in this world for twelve lifetimes, and he cleared it up as soon as he asked!
Taiwu referred to Taiwu Mountain, and Taiwu City under Taiwu Mountain was not only the number one city in the Misty Mountain Realm, but it was also the holy land of hundreds of millions of martial artists, possessing the largest number of high-level martial artists.
Any martial artist who had broken through the innate realm could go to Taiwu City and have their name burned into the World Martial Ranking.
And the World Martial List was a very magical treasure, once an innate martial artist’s name was entered into it, they would be automatically ranked.
This list was constantly changing, and if the person on the list fell, that name would also disappear on its own.
It sounded like this was just fun and interesting, but in reality, only the innate powerhouses who were on the Directory World Martial Ranking could wait their turn for the position of city lord.
Whichever city had a vacancy, they would fill it in order.
This was how Zhao Zhenxuan became the Red Cliff City Lord back then.
Not everyone liked this way of arranging things, however, Taiwu Mountain’s might was unrivaled, and anyone who dared to defy one of its Yuan would inevitably end up losing their reputation!
For thousands of years, not many people had dared to violate Taiwu Mountain’s authority.
Zhao Zhenxuan patiently explained, and finally said, “Little friend Wang, with your talent, it’s only a matter of time before you transcend into the Dao, but our innate martial artists need a large amount of resources for their cultivation, and not one city may not provide for them.”
The resources consumed by innate powerhouses for their daily cultivation would definitely have to be top-notch, and apart from a few great clans that had been passed down for thousands of years and had extremely deep roots, there were not many families that could afford to provide for them.
So a city would be needed to fulfill one’s needs.
Wang Dust nodded, “So that’s how it is.”
Zhao Zhenxuan didn’t tell a lie, but he also didn’t tell Wang Chen that an innate powerhouse had the simplest and most direct way other than going to Taiwu City to board the list and line up.
That was to defeat another innate and take his honors!
Zhao Zhenxuan was worried that Wang Dust would become ambitious and pose a threat to himself after knowing the situation, so he intentionally left it out.
However, Wang Dust had gotten more and more accurate information from Yao Lao, and thus had an insight into the trick Zhao Zhenxuan was playing.
However, he didn’t poke at the other party’s small mind and shook his head, “City Lord Zhao, I don’t have any thoughts of going to the Taiwu Sacred Land for the time being, and I intend to continue to dive into my training for a period of time in the Red Cliff City before doing so.”
What a joke, if Wang Chen ran off to the Taiwu Holy Land, then everything he had done earlier would be for nothing.
If Jiaojiao Hu, who didn’t know where she was reincarnated to, heard Wang Chen’s name and rushed to Red Cliff City to look for him, only for him to be absent, that would be ridiculous.
As for Zhao Zhenxuan’s mood and thoughts, Wang Dust didn’t care at all.
If you don’t like it, you can fight, and whoever loses will crawl!
Zhao Zhenxuan of course hoped that Wang Dust would leave immediately, the farther away from Red Cliff City the better, but Wang Dust’s attitude was resolute, and it didn’t make any sense at all.
The Lord of Red Cliff City could only say, “Little friend Wang, you are willing to cultivate in Red Cliff City, it is also my honor, in the future, if there is anything you need, feel free to talk to me.”
If force couldn’t be used, then one could only resort to wistful means.
Wang Chen smiled and said, “Thank you, City Lord.”
Zhao Zhenxuan added, “I have a mansion that not many people usually live in, if young friend Wang likes it, then take it and live there as long as you want.”
“City Lord’s good intentions, I appreciate it.”
Wang Dust politely declined, “The current place to live is already enough, if there is a need, I’ll find you again.”
After a pause, he added, “City Lord Zhao, in the future, if I am needed and things are not troublesome, I am willing to do my part.”
Wang Dust didn’t know how long he was going to stay in Chibi City, but considering the Hongyi Martial School and Shao Hongcheng, he was also interested in making a good connection with Zhao Zhenxuan.
Of course, Wang Dust wouldn’t say anything to death, lest he get himself into a passive situation.
And Zhao Zhenxuan wanted Wang Duan’s words, and immediately smiled, “That’s great!”
The two of them then chatted for another half hour, and after a pot of hot tea was finished, Zhao Zhenxuan excused himself and left.
As the Lord of Red Cliff City, his daily work was very busy, and he didn’t have much time to focus on cultivation, so being able to chat with Wang Chen alone for such a long period of time was considered rare.
It was also due to Wang Chen’s current status.
After Zhao Zhenxuan left, Yao Lao’s voice sounded in Wang Chen’s mind, “Little fellow, I have two things I need you to do.”
The first thing, this Yuanying True Immortal wanted Wang Chen to help Shao Hongcheng break through the Houtian Great Realm.
The Wuji Sect that Shao Hongcheng was in was founded by Yao Lao back then.
Even though the Great Dao was merciless, he was not willing to stand by and watch the only remaining branch completely cut off.
Therefore, he wanted to pull Shao Hongcheng through Wang Chen.
“No problem.”
Wang Dust agreed in one breath.
As for the second thing, it was to go and enlighten one of Yao Lao’s secret treasures.
In fact the two things were unified, because only by finding Yao Lao’s secret treasury, then Shao Hongcheng would have a breakthrough!
Moreover, Yao Lao promised that apart from giving Shao Hongcheng the resources he needed for his promotion, the rest would all belong to Wang Chen.
Including a divine weapon!
