Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 543 - : Convocation
Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Convocation
“`
For the mother and son, there really couldn’t have been a better tenant than Wang Chen.
The exalted Purple Mansion Superior was willing to stoop to living in their modest abode and even provided a generous amount of rent.
How rare indeed!
Not only that, but Wang Chen also brought out Spirit Rice and Beast Meat. Although it was processed on their behalf, they could partake in some divine food that was beyond their wildest dreams.
The young boy had been afflicted with a difficult sickness due to the invasion of Yin Sha Energy, but after eating the Spirit Rice provided by Wang Chen, his condition had greatly improved.
Consequently, both felt sincere gratitude toward Wang Chen and least of all wished to see him come to harm.
The scar-faced woman hurriedly welcomed Wang Chen into the house, “Immortal Master, would you like us to prepare your dinner now?”
Wang Chen hummed in response, then asked the boy beside him, “What happened over there?”
The boy, named Xu An, quickly replied upon hearing Wang Chen’s inquiry, “Just now, a large eagle fell from the sky and killed quite a few people.”
He looked as if he was still shaken by the event.
Wang Chen nodded and then took two talismans out of his storage bag and handed them to him, “These are amulets. Keep them with you; they might save your life if you’re in danger.”
To Wang Chen, two amulets didn’t mean much, but in such dangers, they could indeed save the mother and son’s lives.
Of course, if the danger was too great, then the amulets might have little effect.
“Thank you, sir. Thank you!”
Xu An was overwhelmed with joy, nearly kneeling to kowtow to Wang Chen.
Wang Chen reached out to support him, sighed, and said, “Times are tough; take care of yourselves.”
This disaster in the Yin Nether Realm was unprecedented, and with Weifa City’s connection to the sect severed, even Golden Core True Persons might not ensure their own safety, let alone those at the lower rungs of society.
That was all the help Wang Chen could provide them.
He didn’t even know if he would survive this calamity!
“Are you leaving, sir?” Xu’s mother, who had just been getting ready to go to the kitchen, asked with a start.
Wang Chen said, “For now, I still plan to stay here, but I probably won’t stay for many more days.”
He had a premonition that the outcome of life or death would soon be determined!
No matter the result, Wang Chen would not be able to stay here for long.
After enjoying a relatively abundant dinner, Wang Chen left his dwelling to go to a tavern in the city to gather news.
Since order in Weifa City had been restored, taverns and inns, as well as most shops, had reopened. The tavern Wang Chen visited was nearly full of people.
But the atmosphere was quite oppressive.
There was no raucous noise or revelry; small groups of people huddled together, whispering about something, each bearing an expression of worry on their face.
The Evil Monsters posed a great threat, and nobody knew how long Weifa City could hold out.
The situation today was extremely dire. The city gates nearly broke, and a horde of Evil Monsters rushed into the city.
Although this time they successfully repelled the Evil Monsters, no one could guarantee that the next time the Evil Monsters returned, they would be as fortunate.
Now they were all trapped in this isolated city with nowhere to flee.
The indigenous people were somewhat better off, not so fearful of life and death, but those cultivators who had come from the Mountain and Sea Realm with their powerful backgrounds and bright futures, how could they resign themselves to dying here!
The severity of today’s battle was witnessed by all!
“Do you know?”
Suddenly, a faint voice reached Wang Chen’s ears, “I heard that White… True Person was injured.”
Although Wang Chen was sitting in a corner and the speaker had lowered their voice as much as possible, it didn’t escape his attentive listening, and he was immediately startled.
The person mentioned was without a doubt the Law Hall’s sect leader, White Monarch True Person. Presumably, the speaker did not dare to call him directly by name and hence was vague.
White Monarch True Person was not only a high-tier Golden Core but also the highest authority of the West Sea Sect in the Yin Nether Realm.
The linchpin of Weifa City!
“`

If this Golden Core cultivator were to meet with disaster, I fear that Weifa City would collapse before the evil monster army could attack again.
Wang Chen couldn’t help but recall the White Tiger that had broken the Giant Centipede earlier.
This White Tiger was most likely the Divine Soul manifestation of White Monarch True Person, which meant that the rumors of injury were not unfounded.
After half a moment of listening and hearing no further useful information, he left the tavern.
Over the next two days, the sinister cloud formation returned, once again enveloping the skies above Weifa City.
The menacing cloud churned violently, and from time to time, a bolt of Evil Qi thunder would strike down, although blocked by the City Protecting Great Array, it still left the cultivators within the city trembling with fear.
Even though the figure of the evil monsters had not been seen, it was the fear of the unknown that was truly terrifying.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
On the morning of the third day, the sound of a copper bell ringing resonated from the Law Hall of the sect.
The entire city heard it.
Wang Chen received a message from the Pioneering Command.
It was a decree issued by White Monarch True Person, summoning all pioneering cultivators within the city to gather at the sect Law Hall.
By the time Wang Chen arrived at the sect Law Hall, the hall was already filled with cultivators.
However, the law-speaking platform was empty.
“Senior Brother Wang…”
Just as Wang Chen was looking for a place to sit, a familiar voice reached his ears.
It was Yun Feifei calling him as she, along with Li Mengyan, Sun Yulian, and others, was waving at Wang Chen from a distance, indicating, “Come this way.”
Although Wang Chen didn’t wish to be so conspicuous, he didn’t want to ignore Yun Feifei’s kindness, so with a hardened scalp, under the watchful gazes of many, he made his way to the side of the ladies.
“Let’s make some room.”
Yun Feifei was enthusiastic, “Make space for Senior Brother Wang.”
Wang Chen couldn’t help but be amused, yet he still took a seat in the space they had made for him.
Just as he was about to say a few words, a white-robed cultivator suddenly appeared on the law-speaking platform.
The Golden Core aura dominated the entire venue!
Instant silence fell over the hall, and Wang Chen swallowed back the words that had reached his lips.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
This white-robed cultivator was none other than White Monarch True Person.
Who would dare to be presumptuous?
White Monarch True Person’s expression was serene, showing no signs of injury. He surveyed the surroundings and spoke in a deep voice, “Disciples, I have called you here today for a matter of great importance…”
All the pioneering cultivators present were of Purple Mansion cultivation level, none lacking in intelligence.
All of them listened with solemn hearts.
A high-tier Golden Core cultivator speaking of “a matter of great importance” indicated that the situation was indeed serious!
In recent days, a vast evil nest, unlike any before, had appeared thirty miles from Weifa City.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that this evil nest harbored tens of thousands of Monster Spirits and Evil Wraiths, and it was expanding day by day.
Once it reached a certain threshold, the evil monster army would inevitably lay siege to Weifa City again.
Therefore, White Monarch True Person had decided to mobilize pioneering cultivators to form a troop to preemptively destroy the evil nest!
Because if the evil nest were allowed to continue expanding, the pressure Weifa City would face would be immense.
It was very likely that it would fall as a result!
