Chapter 1007: Divine Techniques

The image of Wang Chen’s invincibility had long been deeply imprinted in the hearts of every Yulin Guard.

Thus, despite facing an extremely unfavorable situation, everyone believed that as long as Wang Chen intervened, he could surely turn the tide.

The morale of Mingyu Palace was instantly stabilized.

Wang Chen said to Sun Zhengheng, “Keep an eye on things here. I need to leave for a day.”

Sun Zhengheng was startled: “Where are you going?”

In this palace, Wang Chen was undoubtedly the core of the core. Without this Strongest figure who could defeat thousands of enemies, the Three Thousand Yulin Guards would be unable to withstand the pressure from the Hanhai army.

Sun Zhengheng could barely stand his ground against Shangguan Wuji!

“To the White Wolf bandit nest,” Wang Chen replied. “I’m going to retrieve what they have!”

Although he was confident in dealing with Shangguan Wuji, he couldn’t guarantee the capture of Hanhai City. If Shangguan Wuji chose to fight to the death, the fifty thousand Hanhai army would unleash an overwhelmingly terrifying force.

Thus, Wang Chen needed to prepare a contingency plan.

Sun Zhengheng was even more astonished: “How can you retrieve it all by yourself?”

Wang Chen was referring to the stockpile of weapons and supplies from the White Wolf Bandits, but these were piled up like mountains. Even the strongest individual could only carry so much.

“Don’t worry, I have my ways.”

Wang Chen smiled and said, “Just draw me a rough map so I can find the place.”

Sun Zhengheng was doubtful, but he didn’t think Wang Chen would joke about such a matter, so he sketched the general location of the White Wolf Bandits’ hideout from memory.

After finishing, the Yulin Guard leader hesitated for a moment: “Should I send someone who has been there with you?”

The map was too rudimentary, and he feared Wang Chen might not find the place.

“No need.”

Wang Chen smiled and said, “Just take care of the Princess. I’ll be back soon.”

As he spoke, Wang Chen took a step back, and the seven bloodshed wheels within his body began to spin simultaneously. The invisible energy instantly surged out, manifesting as an invisible pair of wings on his back!

In the next moment, Wang Chen suddenly leaped into the air, darting out of the great hall in an instant and soaring towards the heavens.

Sun Zhengheng instinctively chased after him, but when he looked up to search for Wang Chen’s figure, he found that the latter had already vanished into the vast night sky.

The Yulin Guard leader couldn’t help but swallow hard; the shock he felt was beyond words.

Flying through the air—that was a technique only a seventh-tier Martial Saint could possess!

Yet, Wang Chen was merely a teenager, with a cultivation level comparable to a Martial Saint…

Was that even possible?

Sun Zhengheng truly found it hard to believe, yet the truth was right before his eyes, leaving him no choice but to accept it!

At this moment, Sun Zhengheng finally clearly recognized the gap between himself and Wang Chen.

He also understood the source of Wang Chen’s confidence.

His faith in Wang Chen simultaneously soared to an unprecedented peak!

High in the sky, Wang Chen harnessed the roaring wind, fully extending the invisible wings on his back as he soared back towards his original direction.

Though a seventh-tier Martial Saint possesses the ability to fly, the energy consumed by such flight is immense, allowing only brief periods of airborne travel.

However, Wang Chen was no ordinary Martial Saint; he could burn potential points to replenish his surge of energy, with his endurance entirely dependent on the number of potential points available.

Wang Chen still had plenty of potential points remaining.

Additionally, he was engaged in dual cultivation, enabling him to cast a lightweight spell that significantly reduced his energy consumption and greatly enhanced his flying speed.

That very night, Wang Chen flew from Hanhai County back to West Sea County, returning to the site where he had previously vanquished the bandits.

Following the map, he located the hidden White Wolf bandit nest within Lianyun Mountain.

Thereafter, unearthing the sealed treasure vault was a straightforward task.

The treasure vault of the White Wolf Bandits contained an extensive array of weapons, armor, military equipment, and provisions, far exceeding the usual requirements of such a bandit group, hinting at underlying motives.

Regardless of the White Wolf Bandits’ schemes, the entire group, including their leader, had met their end on the grasslands. Wang Chen collected all their remaining resources into his storage space.

It was packed to the brim!

Fortunately, after advancing to the seventh tier, Wang Chen’s storage space had expanded tenfold, otherwise, it would have been impossible to accommodate everything.

By the time Wang Chen returned to Mingyu Palace, dawn had not yet fully broken.

Upon seeing Wang Chen, Sun Zhengheng, who had stayed awake all night, was startled.

He had feared that issues might arise within the palace after Wang Chen’s departure, so he had spent the night in armor, guarding alongside the Yulin Guards.

He hadn’t expected Wang Chen to return so swiftly.

Yet, this also brought Sun Zhengheng immense relief, as if a great weight had been lifted from his heart.

Without delay, Wang Chen led him and a group of Yulin Guards to a side hall, where he proceeded to extract all the resources stored in his storage space.

Sun Zhengheng and the Yulin Guards were utterly astounded.

The scene that unfolded was so miraculous and beyond belief that many doubted their own eyes, questioning whether they were hallucinating!

“Wang, Taibao…”

Sun Zhengheng stammered, “How, how did you manage this?”

While some in the martial world are adept at the tricks of storage, able to conceal numerous items without detection, it paled in comparison to Wang Chen’s displayed prowess.

Wang Chen had transported the entire treasure vault of the White Wolf Bandits to Hanhai City, thousands of miles away!

This was nothing short of a divine feat!

“It’s merely a minor skill,” Wang Chen smiled without further explanation, simply stating, “Organize everything so it’s readily accessible in times of war.”

Sun Zhengheng promptly set to work.

Not only did Wang Chen bring back military weapons, but the quantity of provisions alone was sufficient to sustain the Three Thousand Yulin Guards for an entire year. Combined with the several wells within the palace, their capacity for self-defense had significantly increased.

However, more than the weapons and supplies, the Yulin Guards’ admiration for Wang Chen had reached an unprecedented peak.

With Wang Chen, a figure of divine capability, by their side, not even fifty thousand Hanhai army troops, or even ten times that number, could shake their confidence in defending Mingyu Palace.

Simultaneously, all reverence for the renowned general Shangguan Wuji had completely dissipated.

This was precisely Wang Chen’s intention in revealing his hidden capabilities.

He aimed to have everyone wholeheartedly follow him, striving towards a seemingly unattainable goal!

“Taibao Wang.”

Sun Zhengheng drew Wang Chen aside and couldn’t help but suggest, “Defense is not as effective as offense. Why don’t we take the initiative and capture Shangguan Wuji first?”

Wang Chen’s extraordinary strength had even spurred this seasoned Yulin Guard leader to adopt a more aggressive stance.

“There’s no need to rush,” Wang Chen replied with a smile. “Let’s wait a couple of days; after all, there are others who are certainly more anxious than us.”

Sun Zhengheng paused, “Who?”

Wang Chen answered, “Dayan.”
