Chapter 286: Ruthless and Cruel, The Cuckoo Strikes

After the clone left, Chen Changsheng looked at the repaired door and muttered to himself.

“Although I don’t know exactly what happened, since someone wants to play, then let’s play slowly.”

“I, Chen Changsheng, lack everything, but I have plenty of patience and time.”

With that said, Chen Changsheng’s lips curled up, and he lay down in the coffin.

…

Time continued to pass, and the small town did not change much with the addition of another beggar.

Everyone went about their days as usual, and Chen Changsheng honestly guarded his coffin shop.

Unlike the past thirty years, Chen Changsheng would give the leftover food he fed the dogs to Wang Hao at the street corner.

This led to the stray dogs in town barking at Wang Hao every day.

Seven days later, news about Wang Hao came from the clone.

Ten years ago, Wang Hao, a genius from the Wang Family, was betrayed by his wife, who not only drained his bloodline but also crippled his cultivation.

Since then, the Wang Family and Fan Yin Fortress became enemies.

The young master of the Wang Family was abandoned by the Wang Family and instead cultivated Wang Wenhao from a collateral branch.

Understanding these messages, Chen Changsheng, who was painting the coffin, paused.

Then, a hint of a smile appeared on Chen Changsheng’s face as he muttered to himself.

“How interesting, my upcoming time won’t be boring.”

With that, Chen Changsheng continued brushing the paint, and life in the small town proceeded as usual.

…

Ten years passed, and the beggar Wang Hao gradually faded from everyone’s memory.

Even Wang Wenhao, who hated him greatly, was no exception.

At first, Wang Wenhao would occasionally come to humiliate Wang Hao.

But over time, Wang Wenhao came less and less often.

After all, he had become the nearly head of the Wang Family; he had no time for such trivial matters.

However, during these ten years, the only one who never forgot Wang Hao was the “old man” from the coffin shop.

He delivered leftover food day after day, year after year, undisturbed by anything.

“Your meal!”

Chen Changsheng placed a bowl of leftover food in front of Wang Hao, hunched over.

Seeing this, Wang Hao, who hadn’t spoken in ten years, finally spoke.

“From now on, you stopped bringing me meals.”

“That’s not possible. Young Master ordered that you should not starve.”

Facing Chen Changsheng’s response, Wang Hao didn’t say anything and just ate the leftover food in the bowl.

…

Night fell.

A figure suddenly appeared in the silent coffin shop. It was none other than Wang Hao, who had been a beggar for ten years.

Only at this moment did his eyes no longer show the previous numbness and dullness.

Looking at Chen Changsheng lying in the coffin, Wang Hao whispered, “You owe me a meal, and I originally didn’t want to k*ll you.”

“But if there’s blame, it’s because you were too stubborn. If you had forgotten me like others, you wouldn’t be dead today.”

With that, Wang Hao’s finger pressed onto Chen Changsheng’s forehead.

Powerful spiritual sense instantly destroyed Chen Changsheng’s sea of consciousness, and Chen Changsheng quietly “died” in his sleep.

Having done all this, Wang Hao disappeared in the room.

It was unknown how long it took before the “dead” Chen Changsheng suddenly sat up in the coffin.

“Tsk tsk!”

“This guy is unusually ruthless, always wanting to take people’s lives, and even speaking so pompously.”

“However, his techniques seem a bit crude, looking like he hasn’t been guided by a master.”

As he spoke, Chen Changsheng moved his body, summoning back the golden silkworm bug hanging on the beam.

—

The array formation at the coffin shop was also deactivated.

On the Ascension Road, Chen Changsheng lost most of his cultivation and fell into a deep sleep for two thousand five hundred and sixty years.

Chen Changsheng’s cultivation could be said to have vanished completely.

While cultivation may disappear, the spiritual sense force honed over the years will not.

After many years of tempering, Chen Changsheng’s spiritual sense once again reached a new realm.

The illusion of Wang Hao shattering his sea of consciousness was simulated by Chen Changsheng’s powerful spiritual sense.

In addition, Chen Changsheng prepared two backup plans.

These two backups were the golden silkworm bug and the array formation he had prepared since the War of Gods.

This killing formation, even if a Heavenly Mandate came, would not allow them to escape unscathed.

As for the golden silkworm bug, it goes without saying. On the Ascension Road, Chen Changsheng used it to k*ll a Heavenly Mandate from the Sacred Forbidden Ground.

It was precisely because of these three things that Chen Changsheng dared to run around in the Upper Realm with his weak cultivation.

Taking out the fake corpse he had prepared earlier, Chen Changsheng restored his youthful appearance.

At the same time, a golden giant net appeared in front of Chen Changsheng.

There was a red dot moving rapidly within the net.

“The Clear Void Heaven’s Heavenly Net is still effective. It wasn’t wasted spending ten years spreading my spiritual sense throughout Ling Cangzhou.”

Indeed, during these ten years, Chen Changsheng had woven a large net, thoroughly covering the entire Ling Cangzhou.

When Nangong Ruoxue first chased after Chen Shisan and the others, she used this very technique.

Chen Changsheng was quite interested in this skill of Clear Void Heaven.

After Clear Void Heaven submitted to the Heavenly Court, this skill was naturally learned by Chen Changsheng.

What was different was that Nangong Ruoxue could only cover one or two cities when fully exerting herself.

Chen Changsheng, however, could cover an entire continent.

Within this Heavenly Net, Chen Changsheng’s spiritual sense could instantly reach any location.

…

Eight miles outside the small town.

A beautiful figure had been waiting for a long time.

“Huff~”

The wind blew, and Wang Hao, emitting a foul odor, appeared here.

Seeing this figure, the woman immediately stepped forward and stroked Wang Hao’s face, her eyes red.

“You’ve suffered for thirty years.”

Facing the woman’s concern, Wang Hao also held her hand, speaking affectionately.

“It’s worth it for our future.”

“The first step of the plan has been completed. The next is the second step.”

“I need Fan Yin Fortress to continue its confrontation with the Wang Family, so as to weaken the Wang Family’s strength. Ideally, a real bloodbath should start.”

Hearing this, the woman hesitated but still nodded.

“No problem, I’ll handle this matter.”

With that, the two hugged for a while, then each went their separate ways.

After they left, Chen Changsheng appeared in the original spot.

“Hehe!”

“How interesting, I could encounter such a thing.”

“So much fun, I, Chen Changsheng, must participate in this!”

Speaking, Chen Changsheng’s appearance changed again, eventually becoming a bald man with a face full of flesh.

After changing his appearance, Chen Changsheng tried several movements, and his aura underwent a complete transformation.

“Hahaha!”

“Grandpa Vulture is here!”

Laughter that could make children stop crying echoed in the wind, and Chen Changsheng’s figure disappeared into the night.
