After circumventing for several hundred li, Wang Chen silently sneaked back into Dongwu Stockade.
The first thing he did upon returning to the underground chamber was to remove the Thousand Mechanisms Changing he wore on his face.
Wang Chen's face was as pale as paper, completely soaked with sweat.
He felt relieved that he had changed his appearance before heading to Wind-Thunder Valley; otherwise, his guise as "Wan Xiu" would have been compromised, and the recently settled foothold would have had to be abandoned as well.
It really is tough being a loose cultivator!
Back when he was muddling along within the Cloud Sun Sect.
Although he had encountered petty people causing trouble, it was much more stable than his current dire straits.
Now, with the Cloud Sun Sect gone, facing oppression from Guiyuan Gate and bullying from Five Peaks Mountain, a powerless and insignificant loose cultivator could only rely on their own strength to fight for their life.
