Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 760 Life is Hard
Chen Wang's tavern was shut down for such a ridiculous reason: the supplier was a counterfeit goods dealer.

The supplier was arrested, and Chen Wang's tavern was also implicated and shut down, leaving Chen Wang feeling somewhat helpless.

"The person who supplied me with the liquor was a fake liquor dealer, and he even shut down my shop. It's ridiculous."

Chen Wang didn't intend to take action. He suppressed his temper, paid the two young men their wages, and told them to find other jobs.

The two young men were quite moved, thinking to themselves, "The boss is such a good person. Even though the shop was raided, he still paid our wages for this month."

Chen Wang watched their departing figures and felt somewhat helpless.

He glanced at the raided tavern, pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, lit it, and put it in his mouth.

The smoke was thick, making it difficult to see Chen Wang's face clearly.

“This 500,000 yuan startup capital is nothing to me, but for ordinary people, it is a devastating blow.”

"This is an arbitrary charge! What a terrible system! When I'm in power, I'll definitely reform it properly."

Chen Wang shook his head and didn't bother arguing with those so-called health association members.

Chen Wang felt that the whole thing was absurd, and on the other hand, he also felt that he might not be suited to running a shop.

But when he got ready to drive, he suddenly froze; he pressed the car key a few times but it didn't respond.
The car is gone.

This was a car Chen Wang bought to experience life, but he only drove it a few times after opening the shop, and it was stolen today.

Chen Wang was so angry he laughed. He took a deep drag of his cigarette, put the car keys in his pocket, and reassured himself not to get angry. He would report the theft to the police.

Chen Wang hailed a taxi at the intersection. The driver was a thin man in his forties with an unfriendly look in his eyes.

Chen Wang opened the car door and got in, saying, "Let's go to the nearest police station."

The police station is responsible for handling criminal cases.

The taxi driver nodded. It's three kilometers from here to the police station.

Chen Wang was lost in thought as he smoked, and soon they arrived.

With a screech of brakes, the taxi driver turned around and said casually, "We're here. 130."

Chen Wang leaned against the car window, his cigarette almost finished. He was about to take out his money when he hesitated for a moment: "How much?"

The dark-skinned taxi driver said impatiently, "One hundred and thirty."

Chen Wang's lips twitched involuntarily, and he said irritably, "It's only three kilometers in total, the meter shows fifteen yuan, why are you charging one hundred and thirty?"

The middle-aged man slammed the meter shut and said impatiently, "The meter is broken. It's 130. Pay up now."

Chen Wang pointed to the police station and said, "Extorting money at the entrance of the police station is going too far."

The middle-aged man's face immediately darkened, and veins throbbed on his forehead: "Who are you calling a fraudster? Pay up now, or you're not getting off the bus."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow, thinking: What's going on today?
He threw down fifteen yuan for the fare and was about to leave, but when he pushed the door open, he found it was locked.

The middle-aged driver said menacingly, "You think you can just leave without paying? You're trying to skip out on your fare?"

He reached out and tugged at Chen Wang's sleeve. Although the driver wasn't muscular, he was surprisingly strong.

However, when he grabbed Chen Wang's sleeve, he found that Chen Wang's expression was unusually calm, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then a fierce expression appeared on his face, and he said, "Hurry up and give me the money."

Chen Wang smiled.
He had enough troubles today and didn't want to waste his breath on this unlicensed taxi driver.

He lightly placed his fingers on the driver's wrist, and the driver's hand felt as if it had been branded with a hot iron, as if struck by lightning, and he quickly withdrew it.

Then Chen Wang gently pushed, and the car door opened.

After getting out of the car, Chen Wang glanced back at him and said indifferently, "Get lost before I lose my temper."

The middle-aged driver was about to lash out when he remembered the strange thing that had just happened. His expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and didn't dare to say a word.

I thought Chen Wang looked like an ordinary young man, but it turns out he's quite a tough nut to crack.

Chen Wang ignored his thoughts and turned to walk towards the police station.

…………

When Chen Wang arrived at the police station, he found a group of elderly men and women sitting on benches against the wall.

Upon seeing this, Chen Wang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Come to think of it, he had never actually been to a regular police station before.

He walked to the counter and saw a security guard with his hair tied up and who looked capable.

The security guard asked, "What is it?"

Chen Wang said, "My car was stolen when I went out today."

The young security guard, whose face was covered in light freckles, calmly said, "Oh, then fill out a form."

She handed Chen Wang a form. Chen Wang took the form and looked at it. It was very simple. He only needed to fill in his name, phone number, details of the report, and address.

After Chen Wang carefully filled out the form, he handed it to the security guard. Just as he was about to speak, the security guard, without even looking up, coldly said, "Go back and wait for notification. We'll let you know when the car is found."

Chen Wang said, "Is it that simple?"

The security guard didn't even lift his eyelids, and said impatiently, "What else? Don't block the way at the window, get out of the way."

Chen Wang looked at the young female security guard and couldn't help but frown.

He thought for a moment, put the pen back, and then turned and left.

The group of elderly people sounded like they had been scammed, with each person's amount involved ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Judging from the looks of it, they've come several times already.

When Chen Wang left the police station,
I just heard a young security guard scolding: "What are you crying for? Why didn't you do this earlier? We told you to go home and wait for news. What's the use of coming to the police station to cry? You're so old, really, you just cause trouble."

As Chen Wang walked out of the police station, he looked up and saw a huge light screen in the distance projecting advertisements in turn.

A voluptuous female celebrity strikes a pose and recites advertising slogans.

Maglev cars fly through the sky.

Occasionally, a few racers would drive expensive sports cars wildly through the sky, causing a commotion in the distance.

"This is still the inner city," Chen Wang remarked. He felt the cigarette in his hand was tasteless, so he threw it on the ground and stomped it out.

In a voice only he could hear, he couldn't help but mutter, "This is fucking awful."

With the intention of tempering his mind in the mortal world, Chen Wang did not lash out despite encountering some unpleasant things today.

Recalling the events of that day, Chen Wang also felt somewhat aggrieved. And so, Chen Wang stayed in Mingzhou for another ten days or so before finally returning to Jianmen.

I originally wanted to change my mood, but I didn't expect to hear news of the demons wreaking havoc.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow: "The Demon Lord is already dead in the mortal realm, how dare those demons still come?"

Xiao Yun gave Chen Wang a detailed report: Fu Qu and Xu Yun had already gone to exterminate the demons, and there was another place where demons were rampant, which could not be dealt with for the time being.

When this happened, they were only gone for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

"Am I preparing for some worldly trials? Why are all these troubles piling up?"

Chen Wang's lips twitched involuntarily. He gently patted Xiao Yun's shoulder and said, "Take good care of things inside the sect. Be careful. If anything happens, send me a message."

Xiao Yun nodded and said solemnly, "Master, rest assured."

Following Xiaoyun's instructions, Chen Wang flew southeast.

Demons were rampaging in the southeast. When Chen Wang arrived, he indeed found a large number of demons, numbering in the hundreds of millions.

Two demon lords at the Nascent Soul stage led their demon army and occupied this place.

Chen Wang frowned: "I didn't go to the Demon Realm to look for you, but you delivered yourselves to my door."

Chen Wang felt a surge of pent-up frustration in his chest.

A powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage is a figure who can command the wind and rain in the Mingzhou world, yet he is repeatedly harassed by ordinary people, naturally accumulating some anger in his heart.

Just then, these demons happened to return to the human world once again.

You should know that the human world was almost destroyed by the demons.

At this moment, Chen Wang was filled with both old and new grudges, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He raised his hand and struck out with a palm, and a giant hand formed from gathered magical power appeared in the sky.
It slammed down with a bang.

All the demons were killed by this giant hand, leaving no trace of their bodies!

This unexpected turn of events caught the attention of the two demon lords.

One of the demon lords, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, had a bird's head and a human body, with wings on his back and a long spear in his hand. He looked majestic and imposing, like a divine general from the Heavenly Court.

The other one was the demon form that Chen Wang had seen before. It looked like a burly, strong man with fine, black scales that shimmered with a metallic sheen.

Demon Lord Qingzai flapped his wings and charged at Chen Wang first.

This is one of the top experts of the demon race. He did not follow the Demon Lord to the human world in the previous battle, and thus avoided that catastrophe.

Otherwise, if the Demon Lord sacrificed all the demons, he would not escape death.

At this moment, Demon Lord Qingzai attacked. He was extremely fast, tearing through the void, and thrust his spear forward to stab Chen Wang.

Chen Wang's gaze turned cold as he sensed the powerful aura of Demon Lord Qingzai.

His mind, which had been pounding with anger, calmed down a little.

Fighting such a powerful opponent, one could easily find oneself in danger if not careful.

Chen Wang originally thought that the demon race didn't have any experts left, so when the demon race was discovered in several different areas, Chen Wang didn't think about supporting Fu Qu and Xu Yun immediately.

But now that he had witnessed the formidable strength of Demon Lord Qingzai, Chen Wang couldn't help but feel a sense of worry: "Can Xu Yun really handle this?"

Xu Yun was slightly weaker, which made Chen Wang more worried.

Chen Wang took out the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, which was incredibly powerful, and locked onto the Demon Lord Qingzai.

Qingzai Demon Lord let out a strange cry. Although he had not yet directly fought Chen Wang, he felt the domineering power of this magic weapon. His figure disappeared instantly, and for a moment, no trace of his presence could be detected.

Chen Wang frowned. At this moment, another Demon Lord had already reached Chen Wang. His body contained boundless power, and he was wielding a huge spiked club in his hand, which looked like a mountain. He smashed it down hard on Chen Wang.

Chen Wang's figure transformed into a streak of light to dodge, and for a moment he did not activate the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.

The strength of these two demon lords was beyond his imagination. It made sense, as the demon race could not possibly send out all its forces; those who remained were all top-tier experts.

At this moment, Chen Wang dodged the Demon Lord's attack, but Qingzai Demon Lord suddenly attacked again. The void near Chen Wang was directly torn apart, and Chen Wang was trapped in the void turbulence. In an instant, he was exiled and his figure disappeared from the human world!
hiss!
Chen Wang was greatly alarmed. If he were trapped in this chaotic void and lost his way, even with his cultivation level, he would be trapped and die.

Moreover, the Bronze Gate cannot be used in the void turbulence, which is a perfect counter to this spatial power!

Chen Wang's expression changed, and he drew the Haotian Divine Sword. The Haotian Divine Sword shone with a sharp light.
Click!

Chen Wang unleashed the divine sword, cleaving through the void with a single strike!

That is, he had only recently left the human realm and could still sense its location in the void. If more time passed and he lost his way, he would not know where he was going.

The Haotian Divine Sword was able to completely shatter the spatial barrier here.

After Chen Wang cleaved through the mortal realm with a single sword strike, he reappeared in the human world!
Seeing that things were going badly, Demon Lord Qingzai disappeared and hid.

Ignoring all that, the Demon Lord Houyu swung his spiked club the instant Chen Wang emerged, slashing fiercely at him!

Chen Wang urged the Haotian Divine Sword to meet the attack.

A sword aura appeared, a full thousand feet long.

Although this spiked club was the size of a small mountain, it was no match for the Haotian Divine Sword.

The two were shattered the moment they came into contact, turning into fragments scattered all over the ground!

Hou Yu Demon Lord was startled. The moment his spiked club was shattered, he quickly transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the horizon.

Chen Wang's killing intent surged, and he took out the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, nocked an arrow, and drew it!
With a bang, Houyu Demon Lord's body exploded into dust, turning into a cloud of blood mist!
The Demon Lord Qingzai, who was hiding in the void, gasped in shock: "What a terrifying divine bow."

They had sensed the Demon Lord's demise and, through a secret treasure he left behind, managed to send people to this place.
They discovered that almost eight or nine tenths of the human world had been destroyed, leaving it in an eerie emptiness.

They did not find any powerful figures in the human realm capable of destroying the Demon Lord Qingzai. The human realm had been extremely weak for many years. Therefore, the major demon lords who remained in the demon realm discussed the matter and prepared to join forces to completely conquer the human realm!

According to some ancient records in the Demon Realm, this world of myriad realms holds extremely precious treasures.
For them, obtaining it would elevate them to a new level, so everyone responded enthusiastically.

At this time, many of the Demon Lord's top experts led their armies into the mortal realm. Having obtained the secret treasure, they had opened passages and rushed in, vying for territory and preparing to explore the secrets of the human world.

But unexpectedly, a young man suddenly came to my door today.
Moreover, the divine bow in the young man's hand was exceptionally domineering!
Qingzai Demon Lord raised an eyebrow.
"Although I will be injured after activating those prayer beads, at least they can suppress his deadly treasure. Otherwise, he alone could probably kill us all."

Qingzai, the Demon Lord, pondered in his heart. At this moment, he gritted his teeth and took out a treasure. As soon as he activated this treasure, it felt as if his entire body was being burned, and his face contorted in extreme pain.
This is a string of prayer beads, with a total of 108 beads, all gleaming gold.

A Buddhist treasure!
