I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 283: Awaiting the Enemy’s Attack

The trees wish to remain still, yet the wind blows ceaselessly.

Zhang Yuan originally planned to focus on cultivating diligently at home in this new year.

Striving to break through the Tier Five True Essence Realm.

As long as Xuan Xin doesn’t cause trouble, he could endure for a while.

However, in the jianghu, one’s fate is not always their own, Zhang Yuan didn’t seek trouble, yet trouble often found him.

Xuan Xin not only didn’t let it go but pressed from the upper echelons of the Celestial King Hall.

He’s already being shameless!

Zhang Yuan knew clearly, even if he completed the task of slaying the Moon Gazing Bear King, he would still have to face Xuan Xin’s endless sinister schemes, until there’s no place to retreat.

In such circumstances, staying in the Celestial King Hall, or even in Ruins City, was extremely dangerous.

It’s well known that Xuan Xin not only has connections with the high-ranking members of Celestial King Hall but is also a direct descendant of the Li Clan from Xia Ruins.

The power that Xuan Xin can mobilize is not something Zhang Yuan can contend with!

After leaving Celestial King Hall, Zhang Yuan immediately returned home.

He took out all the valuable items and packed weapons like the General-Slaying Saber and Iron-Clad Bow.

Then he locked the door and headed to West Mountain Collection!

Facing strong enemies, if Zhang Yuan stayed at home, he would easily be captured.

His room for maneuver in battle would be too limited.

But West Mountain Collection is different.

It’s nestled against mountains and rivers, with the Long Celestial River close by, perfect for him to exert his combat strength.

Once he entered the water, not to mention martial artists of the same tier, Zhang Yuan would even dare challenge Tier Five or Tier Six powerhouses.

He didn’t believe Xuan Xin could enlist Tier Six!

With a heavy backpack, Zhang Yuan inaugurated the Carefree Travel body technique, reaching West Mountain Collection in no time.

Winter fades as spring arrives, the earth warms, and conditions are much improved compared to before; this secluded no-man’s land is noticeably busier than when Zhang Yuan last visited.

Smoke rises from many houses, evidently inhabited.

Zhang Yuan didn’t want to encounter anyone.

So he took a small path and reached the residence he built years ago.

To his surprise, this house, in the most remote spot, had also been occupied.

As Zhang Yuan stepped through the open front door into the courtyard, he saw several men sunbathing in front of the main house.

They were all in ragged clothes, with disheveled hair, appearing like vagrant beggars.

But their build was robust, and their faces were menacing, with swords and weapons lying nearby.

Zhang Yuan’s sudden appearance immediately alerted these men.

The men jumped up, grabbed nearby weapons, and glared fiercely at Zhang Yuan.

One scar-faced man shouted harshly, "What do you think you’re doing?"

"What do you think you’re doing?"

Zhang Yuan sneered coldly, "This is my house, you’d better clear off if you know what’s good for you, or don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yuan’s words, they glanced at each other and burst into laughter.

The next moment, the scar-faced man suddenly switched expressions and shouted fiercely, "Brothers, cut him down!"

Four robust men lunged at Zhang Yuan like hungry tigers, and two more rushed out from the room to join the assault!

But numbers didn’t mean strength, the sudden battle turned out quite the opposite.

Zhang Yuan didn’t use his weapons but faced them directly, swinging with his palms.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

The sound of slapping echoed continuously, and in just a moment, all six robust men were knocked to the ground.

They all took two slaps, one on each side.

Each one was swollen like a pig’s head, the palm prints clear on their faces, and some even lost teeth.

Truly a pitiful sight!

These guys looked tough and fierce.

In reality, there was one Tier Two Dark Force, three Tier One Light Force, and two were just ordinary people.

Combined, they weren’t even a match for one hand of Zhang Yuan.

In fact, Zhang Yuan had shown great restraint, otherwise, they’d have been corpses!

The robust men realized they had hit a hard wall, quickly got up and kowtowed desperately, begging for mercy, "Spare us, your grace! We were blind, ready to serve you in any way to compensate!"

Zhang Yuan chuckled, pointing at the garbage-strewn courtyard, "First clean up this place inside and out."

He planned to stay here for some time.

The house had been heavily vandalized, and cleaning and repairs were dirty and tiring, taking time.

So Zhang Yuan didn’t slaughter them.

Giving them a chance to redeem themselves.

The robust men quickly agreed and got to work at the fastest speed.

Zhang Yuan grabbed the scar-faced man for questioning.

Only then did he learn that these men had fled from Ruins City, some owed debts, some had offended others, some were fugitives, hiding in West Mountain Collection.

A few didn’t know each other previously, banding together just to stay warm.

But this scar-faced man’s ambitions were grander; he hoped to form a team in West Mountain Collection, then seize a territory in Outer Ruins, or join a gang.

Unfortunately, his grand plan was just starting when Zhang Yuan showed up and shattered it.

Now, he only wanted to survive.

Zhang Yuan didn’t make things difficult for him, sending him off to cut firewood in the nearby forest.

"You can try to escape."

Zhang Yuan smiled, patting the man’s shoulder, "But you’ll only get one chance, no turning back."

"I wouldn’t dare, I swear I wouldn’t!"

The scar-faced man said miserably, forcing a sycophantic smile, "However much firewood you need, I’ll get it all, not a stick short!"

Zhang Yuan satisfactorily waved, "Go ahead."

The principle of ’many hands make light work’ showed clearly here.

These men with swollen faces divided labor - some cleaned, some repaired, some chopped wood, some built walls, each working diligently.

It was bustling!

Until the sky darkened, the house in West Mountain Collection barely restored some of its former appearance.

At least it was much cleaner than before.

Zhang Yuan inspected it, nodding, "Alright, get out, don’t let me see you again."

He was never one to kill wantonly, always keeping his word.

The robust men were relieved, thanked continuously, and ran away.

After they left, Zhang Yuan closed the shaky courtyard door and went to the room he used to live in.

He put down his heavy backpack, lifted the bed board, and crawled into the tunnel beneath.

The secret tunnel Zhang Yuan had dug years ago leading to Long Celestial River was still there, only some areas had collapsed.

But the two underground secret rooms were intact.

Zhang Yuan spent effort reopening two tunnels.

Ensuring he had a way to escape when facing strong enemies.

The valuables he brought were hidden in the secret rooms naturally.

Next, Zhang Yuan started waiting.

Waiting for Xuan Xin’s next move.

Although Zhang Yuan had left Ruins City, he believed the opponent would definitely find him.

Even though Zhang Yuan could flee farther, like heading to Great Dream Marsh.

But this time, he didn’t want to hide.

Waiting for enemies to come and fight!
