Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Immortal Master?

Immortal Master!!

The words of Yu Feihong resonated in the minds of the bearded giant man and a group of Martial World customers like thunder,

making everyone's soul seem to soar to the heavens!

In fact, earlier, these people had already noticed Wang Chen's extraordinary presence and no one dared to intentionally provoke him.

But in their wildest dreams, they never imagined Wang Chen would be an Immortal Master!

"Immortal Master" is the term mortals use to honor Cultivators.

In the Great Qian Kingdom, from the emperor and officials to the common folk, men, women, old, and young, almost everyone is aware of the existence of Cultivators.

Many have also grown up listening to various legends about the immortals.

And, without a doubt, the most direct evidence of the existence of Cultivators is the Guarding Heavenly Master's offices located in the state and prefectural cities.

The Heavenly Master is the Immortal Master.

However, most people never get the chance to see a Cultivator in their lifetime,

because the Guarding Heavenly Masters rarely appear in public, and even if they leave their estates, they travel in carriages drawn by six horses.

Ordinary people don't even have the privilege to approach!

In fact, for the commoners, even if they live in the same city, Cultivators are from an entirely different world.

Thus, the bearded giant man and the Martial World customers never even considered this possibility.

After all, Great Qian follows the Taoist hierarchy, with Taoist temples and academies being common sights everywhere, so they all assumed Wang Chen was just an elite disciple out to gain experience from one of these academies.

Being a disciple of the Taoist Sect and being a Cultivator are not the same thing!

The fourth person among the Martial World customers was so scared he almost wet his pants!

If he had known Wang Chen was an Immortal Master, he would have sewn his own mouth shut with needle and thread, rather than speak recklessly.

When an Immortal Master gets angry, blood flows in torrents!

However, Wang Chen didn't get angry, but instead, he was somewhat curious, "You recognize me?"

He had only been in Great Qian for a few days, and for most of that time, he was traveling.

He had never met the Commander before.

"Two days ago, the subordinate received a falcon message from Qian Capital,"

Yu Feihong explained respectfully, "Only then did I learn that the distinguished Immortal Masters had graced Great Qian and were overseeing certain areas."

So that was it.

Wang Chen suddenly understood.

Fei Xinghe had mentioned this to him before.

Disciples like them were ordinary in the Inner Sect of their Cloud Sun faction, with their status not even close to that of the true inheritors or Elders,

and they were only impressive within the Outer Sect.

But in the mortal realm, they truly became superior beings.

Apart from following orders from the Grand Heavenly Master's office, they need not bother with even the emperor himself.

As for the officials and common people, they were mere ants,

with the only difference being in their size.

Of course, as a Guarding Heavenly Master, one can't do whatever they want; the rules of the sect must still be adhered to.

But their status is undoubtedly exalted to the extreme!

Now Wang Chen really felt the extraordinary nature of his identity.

"Hmm."

He nodded, "Since you recognize me, there's no need for such courtesy."

The rules of the Sect Affairs Hall stipulate that a Guarding Heavenly Master is strictly forbidden from intervening in the internal affairs of Great Qian, nor may they interact with mortal dignitaries.

The Royal Family of Great Qian should be avoided even more so.

The only exception is the Imperial Guard Bureau.

Since the Imperial Guard Bureau has the responsibility to exterminate Demon Cultivators and clear out Evil Wraiths and is also obliged to assist the Guarding Heavenly Master in their duties, interaction between the two is completely reasonable and by the rules.

If needed, the Guarding Heavenly Master can even call upon the local forces of the Imperial Guard Bureau to serve them!

Yu Feihong bowed humbly, "This subordinate wouldn't dare."

Wang Chen spoke politely, but if Yu Feihong took it to mean no respect was necessary, he would have been incredibly foolish.

"Immortal Master above!"

At this moment, the bearded giant man suddenly threw himself down in front of Wang Chen and earnestly kowtowed three times, "This lowly one, Yuchi Zhong, begs for assistance at the risk of his life; my family head has been harmed by treacherous villains..."

A shadow of evil Qi emerged in the eyes and brows of Yu Feihong.

He had led his men here on a rainy night to pursue Xiao Wentian.

He had not expected to uncover two remnants of condemned officials as well.

Yuchi Zhong's identity and his reason for pleading were all too clear to Yu Feihong!

Such a minor character, he could easily crush with a flick of his finger in normal times.

Now is not the time, because they're seeking Immortal Master Wang!

Yu Feihong's understanding of Wang Chen was extremely limited; he had no idea what the latter's temperament was like.

Therefore, he also did not dare to rashly interrupt Yuchi Zhong's speech.

Inside, he felt an urgent sense of anxiety.

"Hold on a moment."

No sooner had Yuchi Zhong spoken a few words than Wang Chen suddenly raised his hand and sent a palm strike through the air towards him.

In an instant, Yuchi Zhong's body became rigid, his mouth opened and closed but he couldn't speak, and he couldn't even twitch a finger.

He was bound by an invisible force, rendering his profound internal strength utterly useless!

"It's a bit noisy."

Wang Chen withdrew his palm and said to Yu Feihong, "You handle it."

Yu Feihong immediately felt a sense of relief, and bowed in response, "This official understands!"

The Imperial Guard Bureau Commander clapped his hands.

A team of agile men dressed in black immediately entered the hall, their movements quick and well-trained.

Yu Feihong pointed at Yuchi Zhong and the brocaded youth who had already collapsed on the ground: "Take them away."

His gaze then turned toward the group of martial world guests.

A barely concealed murderous intent.

The guests from the martial world realized that something was amiss, each one terrified to the core.

Wang Chen said, "Forget about them."

Although these martial world guests were rude, they were all innocent people who had simply had the misfortune of being caught in the crossfire.

Wang Chen did not wish to trouble these small figures struggling to survive.

It was a matter of a single sentence.

But Yuchi Zhong was different.

When the five Wandering Martial Artists with devastating disabilities appeared earlier, the look Yuchi Zhong gave Wang Chen, whether intentional or not, was an act of drawing disaster to the east.

His heart deserved condemnation!

Wang Chen's decision not to hold a grudge against him already showed great magnanimity.

This man even thought of using him as a stepping stone to turn fortunes around?

That was pure delusion!

Did he think he could use a high and mighty Immortal Master as a tool?

And once Wang Chen spoke up, Yu Feihong immediately retracted the murderous intent, waving his hand and saying, "You may leave."

"Thank you, Immortal Master, thank you, Immortal Master!"

These martial world guests felt as if they had been granted amnesty, expressing their thanks to Wang Chen while hurriedly leaving the divine temple.

The wild wind and rain outside had no impact on the speed of their flight.

After Yuchi Zhong and the brocaded youth were taken away, another team of black-clothed men came in and skillfully took away the corpses on the ground.

They also cleaned the floor spotlessly, leaving not a single trace of blood.

Subsequently, they brought in a table, meditation cushions, tea sets, and incense burners, among other items.

In the end, only a lovely and graceful maid remained to serve at the side.

Yu Feihong personally took action, arranging the table, boiling water, and lighting the incense burner, clearly someone who had served nobility before.

Very skilled indeed.

Wang Chen watched with interest, and when the water boiled, he took out a packet of Spiritual Tea: "Drink mine."

"Thank you, Immortal Master!"

Yu Feihong took the Spiritual Tea from Wang Chen's hands with heartfelt trepidation and brewed a cup for Wang Chen.

Wang Chen said with a smile, "Let's drink together."

Yu Feihong was taken aback.

This dignified and fearsome Commander, who was normally so imposing, suddenly lifted his sleeve to wipe a tear from the corner of his eye.

Was that really necessary?

Wang Chen was speechless, fearing that in the next moment the man might start crying out loud.

That would make his skin crawl!

Fortunately, Yu Feihong hadn't reached that state yet.

After thanking Wang Chen, he held the Spiritual Tea in both hands, but did not immediately taste it.

Instead, he explained the origins of Yuchi Zhong and his servant to Wang Chen.

Probably worried that Wang Chen would harbor a grudge.
