I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 164 - 156 judges both superiority and life or

Chapter 164: Chapter 156 judges both superiority and life or death! Chapter 164 -156 judges both superiority and life or death! He had already asked Chen Yuan before not to tarnish the name of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau in public, so how could he possibly be the first to give ground?

Even though Gu Hao was famous throughout Qingzhou, Tao Qingyuan was not afraid at all.

In essence, even if a Sword Cultivator of the same rank was strong, Gu Hao had only just entered the Reach Profound Realm, whereas he had stepped into this realm for over a decade. Even with significant injuries, he was confident he could defeat him…

If necessary, he would suppress his injuries and seek a quick resolution.

Undaunted, Gu Hao pointed his sword at Tao Qingyuan, and the atmosphere between the two solidified, creating a tension that was palpable and ready to explode.

“Does the master think Gu Hao has the strength to defeat Tao Qingyuan?”

The old servant could not help but ask.

Ye Chenbai shook his head:

“The chances are slim, he can only tie him down at best, and if it were not for Tao Qingyuan’s injuries, he wouldn’t last more than thirty moves.”

“Does the master think so highly of Tao Qingyuan?”

“It’s not that it’s high, it’s just stated as a matter of fact. Gu Hao has just stepped into Reach Profound. Unless he is a rare genius that appears once in a hundred years, how could he possibly win?”

“However, if you give him two to three years, Tao Qingyuan would probably be defeated…”

“Oh?”

The old servant sized up Tao Qingyuan with slight interest.

He measured the respective strengths of him and Tao Qingyuan.

“Don’t worry, they won’t actually fight.”

Ye Chenbai said in a low voice.

“Why? They…” the old servant couldn’t help but say.

They clearly seemed ready to fight at any moment.

“Liu Changkong has been around for a long time, but Gu Hao has just shown himself. What do you think he was doing during this time?” Ye Chenbai chuckled confidently.

In fact, there was something he did not say, and that was that the government in Nanling Prefecture City was not limited to Tao Qingyuan alone in Reach Profound. Could Gu Hao not be aware of this?

And even if he could tie up Tao Qingyuan, the lower-tied Heavenly Patrol Envoys would not sit idly by and let Chen Yuan fight alone.

These things, just think about them… it’s easy to guess some.

The old servant fell silent and did not retort.

In his impression, Ye Chenbai was just like this; his predictions rarely had any mistakes.

And indeed, before Tao Qingyuan and the others could make a move, a green spear with a dragon head emerged from the north, emanating the sound ‘bang’ and sticking into the ground.

A middle-aged man dressed in green embroidered with a flood dragon appeared beside the two in just a few moments, his face stern and fair-skinned, his thick eyebrows looking at Tao Qingyuan as he smiled:

“Old Tao, you are really regressing the longer you live, resorting to bullying the younger one. Aren’t you afraid that a master from the Qingyun Sword Sect will come to challenge you?”

Seeing the green-robed man appear before him, Tao Qingyuan’s face darkened:

“If they want to come, then let them come; what is there for Tao to fear? There’s no need for Tang Gang Leader to worry.”

Chen Yuan’s expression changed slightly, having heard of this man from Tao Qingyuan.

Tang Qian, with Reach Profound Cultivation, over forty-two years old, unparalleled in spear technique.

He founded the Azure Flood Dragon Association, and within merely twenty years, he carved out a name among the top five powers in Nanling Prefecture.

He is the newest among the Five Great Powers, but his power and strength are not at the bottom, and recently he has been scheming to swallow the benefits of Changle Gang.

It’s just that Tao Qingyuan said his character was not good, having done deceitful deeds before.

Regarding this…

Chen Yuan indeed felt this way now, coming to seek presence when idle, truly questionable character.

It’s like…

Forget it, never mind.

Tang Qian smiled:

“Worrying is unnecessary, but Tang also does not want to see the government pressuring people with power. Since Chen Yuan and Liu Changkong have deep hatred, it’s better to leave it to them to handle.”

“Brother Tao, you were previously seriously injured, it’s better to be more cautious. Even if you win over Gu Shaohua, there’s nothing to boast about, but if you lose,

Then that will be a lifetime of reputation gone in an instant.”

“You want to intervene!”

Tao Qingyuan’s expression turned icy.

“Hehe…”

Tang Qian laughed and remained silent, but his attitude was clear, if Tao Qingyuan made a move, he would help.

“Humph, Tang Qian, you better mind the affairs of your Azure Flood Dragon Association instead. The capital commandant has recently received many secret reports saying that the Azure Flood Dragon Association is dominating Yunjiang—what are you intending to do?”

Another heavyweight from the government stepped forward.

Nanling Prefecture Military Equipment Army Capital Commandant, with Reach Profound Cultivation!

Equivalent to the County Magistrate in the government, in charge of arms, existing at the same level as Tao Qingyuan.

If Tang Qian hadn’t intervened, he wouldn’t have come forward, considering his relationship with Tao Qingyuan wasn’t particularly good. But if a force from Jianghu intervened,

Then he couldn’t stay hidden anymore.

It was purely for the Imperial court’s face.

“Lv Capital Commandant!”

Tao Qingyuan nodded and greeted.

“Cough cough…”

Shi Yunlong coughed lightly, his expression unchanged as he watched the subtle confrontation among the few people, showing no intention to intervene.

If the Azure Flood Dragon Association hadn’t made a move against Changle Gang previously, he might have stepped in to help, but given his relationship with Tang, he really didn’t want to intervene.

Of course, he was even less likely to act for the sake of the Imperial court, considering himself neutral.

Otherwise, Changle Gang wouldn’t have a place in Nanling Prefecture City.

“Is Yunlong also intending to intervene?” Tao Qingyuan asked Shi Yunlong.

“Tao Qing Envoy, do not misunderstand. I just happened to be here. If you all want to fight, then fight. I will only watch,” Shi Yunlong said with a smile and said nothing more.

“Thrilling, so thrilling! A few of the top experts in Nanling Prefecture have shown up, what a grand scene!” Chu Yunfeng couldn’t help but whisper from the crowd below.

“Indeed, such a scene is rare. I didn’t expect a single challenge to draw so many strong fighters here,” another person echoed.

“Too bad, with my modest strength, otherwise, I would definitely have helped out!”

Chu Yunfeng looked somewhat excited.

“Whom does elder brother want to help?”

“Of course it’s…” Instinctively, he was about to say it was the forces of Jianghu, opposing the imperial hounds, but thinking of the favor Chen Yuan had done for him, he held back and simply said:

“Just to mingle, like Gang Leader Shi, not helping anyone.”

“Hmph.”

A disciple from Shenxiao Hall nearby sneered, thinking that these weaklings from Qingmu Sect really were arrogant to think they could mingle in such affairs, even their Sect Master wouldn’t dare to meddle in this.

Let alone them, mere small fry.

It would be more like if a Hall Master from Shenxiao Hall were here.

Unfortunately, Shenxiao Hall was a bit far from here, and he only happened to come to Prefecture City by coincidence.

“Azure Flood Dragon Association, Heavenly Patrol Bureau, Changle Gang, Military Equipment Army… Almost all the forces nearby Nanling Prefecture City are here, just one is missing…” Ye Chenbai laughed lightly.

“What is Host referring to?”

“Gold Mountain Monastery!”

“Amitabha.”

As soon as Ye Chenbai finished speaking, a faint chant reached everyone’s hearts, and a white-bearded old monk, holding a string of Buddha beads, led a group of martial monks from Gold Mountain Monastery close to them.

The crowd automatically made way, not daring to block their path.

Behind the old monk, Chen Yuan also spotted an old acquaintance, Xuan Nu!

He couldn’t help grumbling in his mind, damn it, there are only so many forces in Nanling Prefecture, and today almost all of them are here!

The face of Qingyun Sword Sect really isn’t small.

Indeed, all this was attributed by Chen Yuan to the face of Qingyun Sword Sect; otherwise, a conflict not considered big wouldn’t have gathered so many strong fighters.

Reach Profound Martial Artists, capable of establishing a significant force, enough to traverse the city of Nanling Prefecture.

Even throughout the entire Qingzhou, they could be regarded as masters.

“Master Fanan!”

“Master.”

As soon as the old monk appeared, there seemed to be a kind of deterrence all around, except Tao Qingyuan and Capital Commandant Lu, Gu Hao and Tang Qian, Shi Yunlong, all nodded in greeting.

“Fanan…”

A thought struck Chen Yuan; this must be one of the older generation in Gold Mountain Monastery, strong and incredibly powerful, excluding those who had already perished.

It is said that the strongest fighter in Gold Mountain Monastery is from the generation of monks named with the word “Fa.”

“Why should venerable masters argue over a trivial matter? In the opinion of this humble monk, it would be better for the two of them to compete and determine the stronger, having Reach Profound Martial Artists step in seems rather inappropriate at this time,” Fanan voiced immediately after, sitting metaphorically on the side of Gu Hao, causing Tao Qingyuan’s expression to darken, he did not reply.

His side currently only had two Reach Profound Martial Artists; initiating a conflict with their opponents’ three was not good news, and the odds of winning were small…

Especially with this old monk, one of the few surviving monks from the Fa generation in Gold Mountain Monastery, although they had not clashed before, Tao Qingyuan was familiar with his reputation.

“My lord, there’s no need for you to take action to kill a Gang Condensing Martial Artist. Since Liu Changkong has targeted me, allow me to behead him and show these fools who do not know the heavens from the earth,” Chen Yuan intervened, seeing that Tao Qingyuan was silent, knowing he was in a dilemma.

If he backed down, it would seem weak and harm his reputation; if he did not yield, he would have a hard time defeating his opponent, and it might even worsen his injuries, a loss far outweighing any gain. Chen Yuan thus immediately spoke to give him an out.

At the end of the day, it was also because Chen Yuan had a feud with Liu Changkong, rather than with Tao Qingyuan.

Chen Yuan had thought that with the help of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, he could easily cripple this young man without a fierce battle. Unfortunately, this was not something he could decide.

Qingyun Sword Sect… Heh.

Regarding the situation as it now presented, Chen Yuan had actually considered it because, from various consolidated messages, it was apparent that the Great Jin Dynasty was in decline.

This was clear from the attempt by Azure Flood Dragon Association and Blood Killing Hall to assassinate him, with no reaction from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

But seeing did not mean accepting; from this moment, Chen Yuan’s heart had strayed from the imperial court.

Why serve a regime that cannot protect him?

That is why Chen Yuan thought to leverage the name of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau; otherwise, he would have left long ago.

“Elder brother Gu, this is the last time I will call you elder brother,” Liu Changkong said earnestly, “If I kill Chen Yuan this time, I must apologize with my life, and I won’t implicate the sect!”

He knew that standing against the imperial court would definitely incite dissatisfaction from the hardliners, even suppress Qingyuan Sword Sect, but without the backing of Qingyun Sword Sect, these forces of Nanling Prefecture would not have come forth.

Thus, even if he won, he could not survive.

Gu Hao remained silent, his face expressionless as he looked at Tao Qingyuan.

“Very well, then I entrust this to you, you must kill this insidious ilk, the majesty of the imperial court cannot be violated!” Tao Qingyuan said in a low voice, his gaze sweeping across the faces of Fanan, Gu Hao, and several others.

It was as though he was marking down this feud.

Chen Yuan nodded, his Yan Ling Saber unsheathed behind him, pointing straight at Liu Changkong:

“I who can annihilate your Liu Family can also eliminate you. Since you seek death so earnestly, today I shall satisfy your wish. Between you and me, today,

not only will we determine who is superior, but we will also decide life and death!”
