In A Cultivation World With An Entertainment Park
Chapter 162 Into A Fake Wenji TownThe next day, as per usual, Wenji Town was booming and bubbling with excitement yet again.
Along the streets, one could still see several people licking either vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate-flavored ice cream off the cones.
Of course, others were walking around and sipping some hot beverages too.
There were several Flavor Texturizing machines available that would ask people to choose whether to receive each flavor as ice cream, a hot beverage, or just a standard iced-up version instead.
All one had to do was input their cards, choose their options, and their order would be available at the drop of a hat.
Some also walked around eating popcorn, while others still took on their Cleanser drinks.
But the most remarkable thing to note was that no matter where one looked, they could see several people wearing the identical attires of their favorite characters in either realm.
The scene of overly excited mortals and cultivators going about their day merrily made the entire town come to life.
And today, the scene also was somewhat confusing and disturbing to the strange visitors that walked in.
The visitors all wore very crude outfits and carried several small bags made out of cloth.
Their feet were dusty, and their bodies a little more as well.
But when they saw the scene before them, it was like all their tiredness got swept away, only leaving them in a daze.
They Gasped with overly animated eyes and froze on the spot like statues.
Land space and buildings that looked like overly grown mushrooms suspended in the air, strange talking figures that resemble humans, and so many features, made them feel like they were in a bizarre world.

The group of 7 smacked their lips together and vigilantly glanced around the scene with countless emotions in their brains.
.
"Chief, Chief... Are we really in Wenji Town?"
The 40-something-year-old looking man everyone called Chief only felt his entire body trembling with uncertainty: "I... I don't know."
Silence.
Everyone fell into a deep state of deadly silence as if some impending danger was headed their way any moment from now.
The Sign at the entrance said Wenji Town, so this should indeed be the place.
But if so, how come it's more populated and developed than they remembered?
Look! Even the mortal residence wasn't there anymore.
Instead, they could see pieces of land floating above like mythical sky landmasses. And on the floating land were the most jaw-dropping buildings they had ever seen.
Of course, from time to time, they also saw most people go up or down the long transparent tubes attached to the floating land.
What was so crazy was that the speed at which they ascended or descended was genuinely shocking.
Everyone stared upwards while slowly walking forward.
Gulp.
It was official. They were in some strange place with the same name as Wenji Town's.
Village head Miroku, who was at the 2nd Dan of the True Qi realm, quickly gripped his staff tightly while watching countless people pass them by.
Of course, even the other 7 villagers who were only at the 1st or 2 Dan of the True Qi Realm also stocked close to one another like cornered chickens.
Sweat filled their palms as their wobbly legs seemed to weigh ten times more today.
The villagers all looked at their chief in worry.
But when they thought of why they had traveled so far towards Wenji Town, the gang secretly clenched their fists in determination.
Miroku, the Chief's son at the 1st Dan of the True Qi Realm, was the first to break the silence amongst them.
"Father... We have to make a decision fast. Those wicked bandits said they would return to our village in 2 and a half weeks. Whether we are at the right place or not, we still have to ask around and make our decision fast!"
The men who heard this all nodded in support of Miroku's words
"Yes, Village Chief. Those Fire Flame bandits of the East will burn our entire village down to a crisp if we don't do anything! At our strength, it will take 2 weeks to get back to the village running at full speed. So we only have 3 days to convince the Town Lord for help, or we'll have to head back to the village alone!"
"I agree, Village Chief! We have to act now!"

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVillage Chief Yangku listened to everyone's anxious cries deeply.
He knew they were right. Now that they were here, they had to find the Town lord of this strange place fast, whether or not this place was the fake or real Wenji Town.
And to convince the town lord and plead for his help, almost all households in the village contributed money to pay the Lord.
That's right. In their bags were several coins neatly wrapped and hidden in everyday items that looked like they belonged to beggars.
It was because of this that many who saw them felt it useless to attack or waste their time meddling with them.
At times, they would also carry timber on their heads while passing through dangerous public roads and acted as if they were villagers of that area, gathering wood.
They continued in this manner until they finally reached Wenji Town.
The Former Town Lord (Chu Che's grandfather) had once helped their village decades ago.
They had heard of his unfortunate passing and also heard of his grandson taking over Wenji Town.
But that was it. They didn't know how the current Town lord ruled the town.
For all they knew, he could be a tyrant, a greedy crook, or a good person like his grandfather.
So just in case, they had brought in all the money they had and were ready to pay and do whatever it took to get his help.
It was decided!... They would look for this Town Lord.
