STAYING ALIVE CAUTIOUSLY IN THE CELESTIAL REALM AND BECOMING THE STRONGEST

Chapter 834: Chapter 834: Power and Prestige

The Mo Family in Taiwu City belonged to a middle to upper-tier clan.

Their strength and influence were decent, but compared with the top families like the Sikong Clan, they were not on the same level.

When the Sikong Family decided to go after the Mo Family, the latter had no means to resist.

Several families, normally on good terms, stood by and watched.

Both Old Master Mo and Mo Han clearly understood that the Mo Family could never return to Taiwu City.

Unless Wang Chen was willing to leave the White Deer Academy and Mercy World Medicine Manor behind to act as their guardian at all times.

But that was simply unrealistic.

Therefore, the Mo Family began the relocation process as swiftly as possible.

Whatever could be moved was taken, what could be sold was sold, and what remained unsold served as a foothold in the city.

As for the family members, the main and direct descendants would definitely leave, the side branches could go if they wished, and if not, that was fine too, but they should not expect help from the main line if troubles arose later.

Meanwhile, the Mo Family withdrew a large portion of their savings to purchase materials and recruit people to build extensively next to the White Deer Academy.

While the Mo Family was busy moving, Wang Chen quietly arrived at Taiwu City.

Heading to Taiwu Pavilion!

Taiwu Pavilion was the highest authority in Taiwu City, located at the foot of Taiwu Mountain with its back against the majestic mountain range, overlooking the entire vast city, with a history of a thousand years.

Ancient, grandiose, imposing, it was regarded by countless civilians of Taiwu City with immense reverence!

However, in Wang Chen’s eyes, the palace, though a spectacular sight, was permeated with a sense of decay and corruption.

“Halt!”

In front of the entrance to Taiwu Pavilion, Wang Chen was stopped by samurai guards: “Please present your token!”

Although he could have easily eliminated such insignificant characters with a flick of his fingers, he still said in a deep voice following protocol, “Director Wang of White Deer Academy has come to pay a visit, please announce my arrival.”

Director Wang of White Deer Academy!

The two samurai guarding the entrance were instantly stunned, their minds buzzing as they instinctively stepped back in unison, almost falling to the ground.

Three days ago, a major incident occurred in Taiwu City.

First, the Mo Residence was surrounded, with clear intentions of being raided and annihilated, and then the rarely involved Green Cloud Palace dispatched a formidable force from the city to subdue the White Deer Academy.

Since the Green Cloud Palace made such a show of force, the subsequent events were witnessed by many.

The result was that the Green Cloud Palace, unbeatable in everyone’s eyes, not only failed to take down the White Deer Academy but was also heavily defeated by Director Wang Chen alone, suffering severe casualties and losses.

Countless people witnessed the shameful retreat of the cultivators from the Green Cloud Palace!

Although the battle was short-lived, its impact was like a massive tsunami.

Firstly, people realized that those revered cultivators were not invincible after all and, stripped of their aura of power, were not much different from ordinary people.

Secondly, Director Wang Chen of White Deer Academy was seen as a divine presence!

Common civilians may not have felt much about this as cultivators were too far removed from them, and the battle at White Deer Academy did not affect their daily lives.

They mainly treated the incident as gossip news for after-dinner conversation, and even then, it was spoken in whispers.

However, for the elites of Taiwu City, it was like the sky had fallen!

They knew that Wang Chen was powerful, but they had no idea he was so terrifyingly strong.

After the dismal return of the Green Cloud Palace, there was no further news or movement, a silence so profound that it made one’s skin crawl.

And those city powers involved in suppressing the White Deer Academy and the Mo Family couldn’t help but feel anxious, fearing that Wang Chen would suddenly come knocking on their doors demanding justice. How could they possibly cope with that?

In the past few days, the atmosphere in the city was quite strange.

Both of these samurai guards came from large family clans with formidable strength of their own and had heard quite a few things in recent times.

Now, the legendary protagonist suddenly appeared in front of Taiwu Pavilion, how could they remain calm?

The older of the samurai, having a wealth of experience, saw that Wang Chen did not seem intent on initiating a fight to seek redress. Swallowing his saliva, he braced himself and saluted, “Director Wang, please wait a moment. This one will immediately report to the elder!”

Normally, the presence of Wang Chen should be received by Sikong Deping, the Chief Governor of Taiwu Pavilion.

However, Sikong Deping rarely worked from Taiwu Pavilion, and three days ago, he led the team against White Deer Academy; it was said that after a humiliating defeat, he fled back to Green Cloud Palace and announced he was closing off to heal his injuries.

With Sikong Deping unavailable to take the heat, the elders had to face the brunt!

Taiwu Pavilion had three great elders, each representing a major family clan within the city. Under normal circumstances, they would take turns on duty, supervising the governors and executors below them.

The elder on duty today was surnamed Chen, an elder from the Chen Family of Taiwu City with Cultivation Level in the Innate Realm.

When he heard that Wang Chen was outside the gates, he immediately gasped, his face turning pale as he trembled, “Quick, send a message to Green Cloud Palace for help!”

This Elder Chen was ready to flee the moment he pulled up his trousers.

He had no choice but to run. He was just an aged Innate Martial Artist; how could he possibly withstand Death God-like Wang Chen?

The trouble caused by Sikong Deping naturally required Sikong Deping himself to resolve it!

“Elder…”

The samurai who came to report hesitated for a moment before speaking up, “In this one’s opinion, it seems that Director Wang does not intend to trouble our Taiwu Pavilion.”

“Hmm?”

Elder Chen was taken aback, his eyes rolling as he sat back down.

If Wang Chen wasn’t here to cause trouble…

Elder Chen gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, “Issue my decree, all governors on duty are to go to the gate to welcome the guest. Strike the Ancient God Bell and open the pavilion doors!”

The elder’s decree was conveyed with utmost urgency.

Immediately after, the resonant sound of the bell echoed throughout the ancient pavilion.

It quickly spread throughout the entire Taiwu City.

The bell tolled twelve times, the highest salute to welcome a distinguished guest!

Elder Chen, leading all on-duty governors, went to the gate to receive Wang Chen.

This elder was well aware that his actions today would certainly draw the displeasure of Green Cloud Palace, especially Sikong Deping.

But there was no choice. He couldn’t just turn Wang Chen away and then have him force his way inside, could he?

Green Cloud Palace’s elite forces were no match for Wang Chen; what power did Taiwu Pavilion have to stop him?

Elder Chen, after much consideration, decided to swallow his pride and displayed a fawning smile before Wang Chen, “I am Chen Zhongjing, an elder of Taiwu Pavilion. I was not aware that Director Wang was coming personally. Please accept my apologies for not greeting you from afar!”

The group of on-duty governors behind him was completely stunned.

Because they had never seen this elder bow and scrape in such a manner.

Especially to someone as young as him.

But when they thought about what Wang Chen had done, they all felt it made perfect sense, and so they too bent their waists, showing submissive and ingratiating smiles!
