I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 215 - 203 Hidden Dragon Ranking Demon Sword Chen

Chapter 215: Chapter 203 Hidden Dragon Ranking, Demon Sword Chen Yuan

Chapter 215 -203 Hidden Dragon Ranking, Demon Sword Chen Yuan

He was not a flamboyant person by nature, but sometimes when the situation demanded it, he had no choice but to draw attention. By now, the news of Chen Yuan killing the Blood Demon Elder must have almost reached Nanling Prefecture City.

Tang Qian’s intent to kill him would probably deepen with this news. However, the current Chen Yuan was no longer the same as before, and he now possessed the power to confront a Reach Profound expert like Tang Qian.

A group of people left Qingshui County discreetly, taking the same route towards the Prefecture City as they had taken previously.

It’s worth mentioning that Yan Kai had come in person late last night to deliver Cultivation Resources worth nearly a thousand taels to Chen Yuan as a form of life-saving payment.

Chen Yuan did not decline; refusing might only lead Yan Kai to overthink the situation.

The two casually chatted for a while, and Chen Yuan reassured Yan Kai about a matter he had promised earlier, affirming that he was a man of his word.

Yan Kai also disclosed some of his future whereabouts.

As Chen Yuan had anticipated, Yan Kai was heading to Blood State.

He planned to venture into Blood State with his scores of cavalry and expressed hopes of sharing a drink with Chen Yuan if they were fated to meet again in the future, and urged him not to hesitate to ask for help if needed.

What Yan Kai valued most was ‘righteousness’.

After staying for about a quarter of an hour, Yan Kai left Chen Yuan’s residence alone.

Chen Yuan had chosen not to kill Yan Kai for his report back. Perhaps it was because Yan Kai lacked Qi Fortune, making him unworthy of Chen Yuan’s effort, or perhaps it was Yan Kai’s tactfulness that made Chen Yuan see him as a wise man whose life was regrettable to take.

Indeed, Chen Yuan’s assessment of Yan Kai was that he was tactful.

Despite Yan Kai’s rugged appearance, the events had shown him to be quite clever. Those who understand the times are outstanding. If he did not fall in the future, he might well achieve something significant.

Chen Yuan did not know whether they would meet again in the future.

The journey there was very peaceful, and so was the journey back. This time, however, Chen Yuan did not follow the same path but took several detours instead.

The time taken was not much different from before.

Coming and going, plus the time spent in Qingshui County, Chen Yuan had spent about half a month in total. He arrived in the Prefecture City at midday.

Without hurrying to report to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, he dispersed Mo Donghe and his group, then he headed straight to the place where the Yunjiang Three Ghosts and others were recovering.

“Greetings, My Lord!”

“Greetings, My Lord!”

Seeing Chen Yuan arrive, they all bowed respectfully. After some time spent recuperating, their injuries were no longer of any concern.

“Hmm… you’re back?”

After scanning over Qian Xishan and others, Chen Yuan focused his gaze on Zhao Beishan.

“After my advancement, Elder Zhao guided me for a while. Thinking that my lord might find use for me, I came,” Zhao Beishan said with a light smile.

demonstrating his Cultivation to Chen Yuan.

Now entered Qi Absorption!

Chen Yuan thus had a truly obedient subordinate in Gang Condensation Realm. If Yue Shan, who was also quite compliant, was counted, Chen Yuan’s power was not insignificant.

“How is Elder Zhao now?”

Chen Yuan asked with a light chuckle, and Zhao Beishan, serving tea, replied honestly:

“Elder Zhao…”

Chen Yuan listened and nodded slowly. Ping’an County was much the same as before. Sanhe Boxing Club was still open, and Wang Ping was also working hard on his cultivation, supported by the Cultivation Resources from Chen Yuan.

Ping’an County had a new arrest officer, not someone Chen Yuan knew but rather someone transferred from another county who took good care of Wang Ping and Sanhe Boxing Club.

It wasn’t like the typical flaunting and face-slapping scenarios one might expect.

Of course, the reason things were like this was partly because Chen Yuan’s renown had reached Ping’an County from Nanling Prefecture. Now in Ping’an County, who did not know that Chen Yuan was a Martial Arts genius seen once in a century?

Who held considerable authority even within the Prefecture City.

Not just an arrest officer, but even County Magistrate and County Magistrate level officials would not dare to provoke him lightly.

Wang Ping often spoke of Chen Yuan. According to Zhao Beishan, every time Wang Ping drank with his colleagues and got half-drunk, he would put his arm around them and say knowingly:

“Do you know who my big brother is?”

“It’s Chen Yuan, the one who ascended the Hidden Dragon List and holds the Heavenly Patrol Envoy position. Back then…”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan’s mouth curved slightly. This Wang Ping was really living up to his previous promises, using Chen Yuan as a bragging target.

Chen Yuan didn’t mind at all. His only worry was that if Wang Ping benefitted from his reputation and Chen Yuan lost his power one day, it might also impact Wang Ping.

But that day seemed far off for now.

Moreover, Chen Yuan’s adversaries wouldn’t normally target an ordinary constable in a small county; very few probably believed Wang Ping’s words.

If they were really close, why wouldn’t he bring him closer to his side?

Wang Ping had never explained that.

“Breaking through is a good thing, you three should not slack either, strive to break through soon…” Chen Yuan advised the remaining three ghosts.

Now, Martial Artists at the Foundation Establishment Level could hardly help him, even if all three were experts at the Bone Refining Level.

Only masters at the Gang Condensation Level could provide him with any assistance.

With the rise in status and strength, Chen Yuan’s opponents had also been changing continually. Currently, only the powerful individuals from Nanling Prefecture who had reached the Reach Profound Realm could catch his interest.

Ordinary Heavenly Gang couldn’t withstand even a few of his strikes.

“You speak the truth, my lord.”

“Your subordinate will definitely dedicate himself to cultivation.”

The men quickly bowed and said, their gazes toward Chen Yuan filled with reverence.

When Chen Yuan had first met them, he had shown the strength of the Bone Refining Level, but in just a few months, he had already reached the level they looked up to.

The news about him slaying the Blood Demon elder had been spreading around Nanling Prefecture City for many days; at first, most people thought it was merely a rumor.

Even they themselves had found it incredible.

But with the Ascending Immortal Tower’s final verdict, the battle where Chen Yuan had slain the Blood Demon elder was finally revealed, causing a huge stir in Nanling Prefecture City just two days ago.

Through their mouths, Chen Yuan came to understand some of what had happened after he had left.

In general, things were not much different from before, except for several conflicts between the Azure Flood Dragon Association and the Changle Gang, with casualties on both sides; the Azure Flood Dragon Association had also sought reinforcements.

Dragon Tiger Sect!

It was said that Xu Lingtian, the Sect Leader of Dragon Tiger Sect, had formed an alliance with Tang Qian, wiping out many from the Changle Gang outside the city walls and even eliminating several affiliated forces.

However, it seemed that the Changle Gang also had support and withstood the pressure from the Azure Flood Dragon Association.

They didn’t know who it was, but Chen Yuan knew that unless something unexpected had happened, it was probably the Heavenly Patrol Bureau that had helped the Changle Gang.

Besides this, the Gold Mountain Monastery also seemed not as calm as before, stirring as well; apart from Shenxiao Hall, the entirety of Nanling Prefecture was quite unsettled.

However, these were only undercurrents.

What truly shocked Nanling Prefecture City was the appearance of the Blood Demon elder and the news of his slaying by Chen Yuan in Qingshui County.

The Blood Demon elder’s strength was no more than the pinnacle of Gang Condensation, but his reputation was notably significant, not easily forgotten by many despite his disappearance for a period.

Chen Yuan was also a well-known figure within Nanling Prefecture City.

Their confrontation naturally attracted the attention of many.

Especially since Chen Yuan had defeated the Blood Demon elder against the odds, with the judgement from Ascending Immortal Tower, he leaped a significant number of ranks, powerfully climbing into the top hundred of the Hidden Dragon List.

He became the second person from Nanling Prefecture to make the list in recent years, following Zhang Xuan.

Unlike Zhang Xuan, Chen Yuan’s rise was astoundingly fast, so fast it was almost unbelievable, swiftly advancing into the top hundred of the Hidden Dragon List within a few short months.

The name of the genius spread far and wide, with even those outside Qingzhou hearing of his name.

Entering the top hundred of the Hidden Dragon List was a world apart from later rankings; only those in the top hundred were truly considered potential geniuses.

Over the years, all the geniuses who made it into the top hundred of the Hidden Dragon List, besides those who fell mid-way, at least broke through to the Reach Profound Realm, whereas many geniuses ranked after a hundred often stagnated at the bottleneck of Gang Condensation, finding it extremely difficult to break into Reach Profound.

One could say that becoming one of the top hundred geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List practically guaranteed one as a preparatory Reach Profound Realm Martial Artist, with even a decent chance of stepping into the Core Realm.

Becoming a reverential Grandmaster-level powerhouse in Jianghu.

Although the rank Chen Yuan reached on the Hidden Dragon List was quite far back within the top hundred, it was still within the prestigious bracket and reportedly, the only reason he was not placed higher was because the method he used to kill the Blood Demon elder was slightly enigmatic, difficult for others to figure out.

The constables who witnessed that scene couldn’t describe it accurately; they only knew that the Blood Demon elder had been killed by Chen Yuan…

Some even came up with a nickname for Chen Yuan.

‘Top hundred of the Hidden Dragon List.’

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, this time the Ascending Immortal Tower ranked him ninety-ninth, just one place away from falling outside the top hundred, barely making it into the top hundred.

Of course, if it had been a battle witnessed by many in Nanling Prefecture, Chen Yuan’s ranking would have been much higher.

‘Demon Blade Chen Yuan!’

This was the nickname many had bestowed upon him, due to his fierce and forceful saber technique and the bizarrely rapid enhancement of his cultivation, almost rocketing upwards, thus he was labeled with ‘Demon.’

But honestly, when Chen Yuan first heard this nickname from the likes of the Yunjiang Four Ghosts, he was somewhat dissatisfied; Demon Blade… it didn’t sound as imposing as something like Heavenly Blade or Demon Blade.

It had a somewhat nefarious connotation…

Unfortunately, it wasn’t something he could decide, it was given by many idle individuals in Jianghu…

Besides, Chen Yuan didn’t really favor these sorts of nicknames; they always felt quite odd, nowhere near as endearing as his real name, but this was the most common thing in Jianghu.

Many powerhouses would be bestowed titles…
