Chapter 198 -186: What ill intentions could Minister Chen possibly have?

The extermination of the Bei Family proceeded very calmly, with hardly any complications. In short order, Mo Donghe and his companions had resolved the fight.

They swept away the Bei Family’s floating wealth. Chen Yuan took half, and the rest was divided among the others.

Having served as the deputy gang leader for decades, Bei Haisheng had accumulated a vast fortune, including Cultivation Elixirs. This time, Chen Yuan had gotten a small fortune.

Of course, having experienced several exterminations himself, he was not poor, and he did not lack Elixirs either. With the Blood Evil Saber, Chen Yuan had a stable and endless source of cultivation.

Before leaving the Bei residence, Chen Yuan set it on fire.

Murder and arson, extermination and looting always go hand in hand for a reason.

Afterward, events unfolded without any disturbances, following the original plan. Bei Haisheng’s death was pinned on the Azure Flood Dragon Association, inciting the wrath of the Changle Gang members.

And the people of the Azure Flood Dragon Association were also baffled—who had acted against them?

It was later speculated that it was the gang leader who ordered the action. That made sense.

Tang Qian, who later learned of this, did not slander or anything. He took responsibility outright, claiming he had ordered the killing of Bei Haisheng to retaliate against the Changle Gang.

Now that they had already shown their true colors, admitting it would help boost the morale of his disciples.

Previously, when the Changle Gang counter-attacked, Lin Beihan was torn to pieces, instilling fear in many. Tang Qian was worried about how to respond, never expecting it to be handed to him on a silver platter.

Did it matter who killed Bei Haisheng?

In any case, all three parties got what they wanted.

The Azure Flood Dragon Association wanted morale, Shi Yunlong wanted to remove the unstable element, Bei Haisheng, while also making a display of allegiance, and Chen Yuan did not want any trouble in the future, thus he eradicated them root and branch!

Only Bei Haisheng was somewhat tragic; his son died, and he had to die too.

Of course, their deaths were not considered regrettable; in fact, many felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Bei Le had caused too many ridiculous troubles over the years, and countless people were hoping for his death. If not for the concern of Bei Haisheng’s reaction, such people would have already been killed.

After the death of Bei Haisheng, Nanling Prefecture suddenly fell silent.

The Changle Gang and the Azure Flood Dragon Association watched each other like tigers, but neither dared to make a move. Gold Mountain Monastery remained calm, focused only on investigating Xuan Ci’s death, with hardly any other actions.

Chen Yuan even started to doubt whether they were interested in his Body Refinement Techniques.

It shouldn’t be…

If they truly lost interest, why were they so aggressive before, almost to the point of making a move?

Lately, Chen Yuan began to realize a bit. The people from Gold Mountain Monastery might be considering the implications, trying to dissipate the previous matters before catching him off guard.

Even then, though it might still be suspected that it was Gold Mountain Monastery’s doing, without concrete evidence, Tao Qingyuan would not have the courage to search the monastery.

Yes… that must be it!

Chen Yuan, suffering from late-stage persecution paranoia, thought to himself.

Thus, feeling the future was still dangerous, Chen Yuan devoted all his time to cultivation.

For over half a month, Chen Yuan was in intensive training.

The Evil Qi in his body was growing constantly. Whenever his body reached its limit, Chen Yuan would practice the Saber Technique and the movement technique, always contemplating the ‘Unending Path of the Blade.’ Ever since he had used it before, Chen Yuan wanted it to become a common move for him, available at any time.

It also became one of his strong techniques.

He inevitably practiced Body Refinement every day; the Evil Qi in the Blood Evil Saber was like sea water, and Chen Yuan’s body was the container. The strength he could unleash all depended on the strength of his body.

The stronger his body, the more Evil Qi Chen Yuan could contain, and simultaneously, the stronger he would be.

Then… it was down to the movement technique.

The ‘Wind Control’ technique Tao Qingyuan had given him was becoming more proficient, significantly boosting Chen Yuan’s speed.

The feeling of slowly increasing his strength every moment was thrilling for Chen Yuan.

In half a month’s time, Yue Shan had emerged from seclusion, successfully advancing to the Gang Condensation Realm, achieving Qi Absorption into his body, and was on his way to becoming a new Heavenly Patrol Envoy, though he still had to complete some tasks.

Chen Yuan tried to approach Tao Qingyuan, but the answer he received was negative. He was already an exception; Yue Shan could not continue like this, otherwise it would set a bad precedent for the future.

Of course, Tao Qingyuan did not neglect him. The tasks arranged for him were within his capabilities.

Chen Yuan’s subordinates, Yang Feng and Yan Qing, were all transferred under Yue Shan’s command, bolstering his power.

Leaving only Mo Donghe and his group of friends behind, Chen Yuan then called a new group of Heavenly Patrol Guards to his command.

Actually, the intended successor by Zhang Xuan had been Yue Shan, but Chen Yuan had beaten him to the punch. Now that he had just advanced, it was time to complete tasks, and Chen Yuan naturally wouldn’t drag his feet.

He would help as much as he could.

As for Mo Donghe, who didn’t get along well with Yue Shan—they inherently had a subtle competitiveness. Being under his command made Mo Donghe feel quite uncomfortable.

He actively approached Chen Yuan, hoping he wouldn’t be transferred.

Chen Yuan agreed to this, as he too needed capable people under his command.

Although Yue Shan had advanced, his attitude towards Chen Yuan hadn’t changed; the relationship remained very good, and he continued to respect Chen Yuan like before, treating him as a superior.

Chen Yuan had advised him, but unfortunately, Yue Shan just naively smiled and continued to do as he pleased.

Though he seemed simple-minded, he was actually not foolish at all, and even quite astute. He could see that Chen Yuan had a promising future and extraordinary talent,

and was very likely to become the Heavenly Patrol Green Envoy of Nanling Prefecture, subtly hoping to cling to his coattails.

Nevertheless, even without this motive, their relationship was quite good.

Half a month might seem short, but it was actually fairly long; besides Yue Shan, another person had made a breakthrough, and that person was Shen Yanshu!

With her Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body, once Chen Yuan had extracted her Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body, her cultivation speed began to surge. After a period of adjustment, her breakthrough was almost unremarkable, logically flowing.

After her breakthrough, Shen Yanshu also found Chen Yuan, and the two had a simple celebration, as a way to congratulate her on her breakthrough, officially stepping into the middle-tier masters of Nanling Prefecture.

Only then did Shen Yanshu feel they were equals, although Chen Yuan was much stronger than her, but at least they were now martial artists of the same level.

And once the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body began Qi Absorption, her cultivation speed was sure to increase several times over compared to before.

If the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body had not been taken, her cultivation would have been even faster.

She might have even saved innumerable amounts of time and reached the peak of Qi Absorption directly.

Of course, Shen Yanshu did not regret this, as Chen Yuan had helped her solve a problem; this was her compensation. Without Chen Yuan, she might have already married that good-for-nothing, and her life would have started to darken.

Her dream of pursuing Martial Arts would have been shattered.

Eager to form a good relationship, Chen Yuan was not standoffish; having a martial artist at the Gang Condensation Level was not bad, so the two had an ‘in-depth and accessible’ exchange in a small room.

Well…

It was just to deepen their friendship and casually discuss the jianghu situation of Nanling Prefecture.

After all, what ill intentions could Mr. Chen have?

Besides this, there was another matter regarding Chen Yuan.

But this matter did not cause much of a stir.

After the news of Chen Yuan killing Lin Beihan spread, Ye Chenbai from the Ascending Immortal Tower began to have people investigate the authenticity, and after confirmation, it was indeed true,

and then…

Chen Yuan’s ranking on the Hidden Dragon List had risen somewhat; not a huge extent, but definitely not a small amount.

Positioned at two hundred thirty-seventh on the Hidden Dragon List.

This was significant, but not as high as imagined because Chen Yuan had been involved in too many famous incidents lately, which, by comparison, made it seem less important.

Most importantly, many people felt he was hiding his skills, and climbing to this ranking was not surprising.

Even if he had suddenly entered the top two hundred, it would not have been surprising.

As his ranking grew higher, Tao Qingyuan valued Chen Yuan increasingly, occasionally summoning him to the Heavenly Patrol Hall to discuss difficulties in cultivation.

And Chen Yuan was happy to oblige.

Being guided by a master a whole realm higher was something many martial artists longed for but could not achieve.

Upon hearing this, Nie Qi Yun became even more envious, but was still powerless to do anything.

Chen Yuan simply ignored him, and if provoked verbally, he was indeed ready to draw his saber.

After more than half a month of intensive cultivation, the evil Qi vortex inside Chen Yuan had passed halfway, which was faster than he had anticipated. With this rate of cultivation, Chen Yuan had reason to believe that in at most another month, he would elevate his cultivation to the peak of Blood Evil, which by calculation, made Heavenly Gang attainable!

Feeling his cultivation becoming more profound, Chen Yuan speculated when the next Qi Fortune holder would arrive.

Based on past deductions, even if he did not actively seek them out, two people carrying Qi Fortune would meet in various ways. Thus, Chen Yuan was not too eager.

What was meant to come would always come, and Chen Yuan was only curious about what the next Qi Fortune would be.

He hoped it would be related to cultivation.

Though Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills were valuable, what Chen Yuan desired most was higher cultivation strength. As long as his realm increased, everything else would be negotiable; even a casual saber strike would unleash a power incomparable to before.

…

…

On a passenger boat above Yunjiang in Nanling Prefecture,

An elder with the appearance of a Daoist immortal closed his eyes and exhaled, releasing a long stream of breath that looked like it could belong to an Immortal practicing his breathing.

It would have looked even more so without several children, each about four or five feet tall, attending to him.

Four children, dressed in various colored clothes, hairless, with some faces appearing blue, others red, and mysterious patterns on their bodies. Their eyes reflected a somewhat bloodthirsty and irritable light.

Yet under the elder’s gaze, they could only fall tremulously to the ground, fearing to provoke the elder.
