Chapter 202: Chapter 190 Condensing Evil at Its Peak! Chapter 202: Chapter 190 Condensing Evil at Its Peak! There was a mont of silence before the Blood Demon elder pondered over many things in his mind, concluding that Tang Qian probably wasn’t closely related to Chen Yuan. Furthermore, it was impossible to keep concealing the truth. He then nodded and said:
“Yes!”
A smile hooked the corners of Tang Qian’s usually expressionless face:
“Very good, why do you want to kill him?”
“He killed my Ghost Child and ruined my plans. I need his life to make ands!” The Blood Demon revealed the truth directly, looking at the smile on the corners of Tang Qian’s mouth.
“So that’s how it is.”
Previously, when the subordinates of Tang Qian who had been watching Chen Yuan discovered that soone was secretly inquiring about Chen Yuan, they reported it to Tang Qian, who then directly captured the Ghost Gold Child.
When Tang Qian realized the investigation involved the Ghost Child, he guessed that the Blood Demon had returned and seed to harbor hostility toward Chen Yuan, which ant he could be useful to him.
There was no doubt that he wanted to kill Chen Yuan, but he was also aware of the current situation of the Azure Flood Dragon Association; if he acted on his own, it would surely not be simple anymore.
Therefore, although he could kill Chen Yuan outright, he was still suppressing his urge to kill.
Finally now, he had waited for the Blood Demon!
It wasn’t suitable for him to kill, as it would invite disaster, but if it was the Blood Demon, then the problem wasn’t big.
Of course, he still needed to confirm things beforehand.
“What, Brother Tang is also dissatisfied with Chen Yuan?” The Blood Demon elder shifted his gaze and changed his title to “brother,” even though he was the older one.
But in martial arts, those who achieve first are respected, and it is not disgraceful!
“Indeed, I also want to kill him. Why don’t we cooperate?” A warm smile flickered across Tang Qian’s face.
But no matter how one looked at it, sothing seed off, making it seem sowhat gloomy.
“Cooperate?” The Blood Demon elder was sowhat surprised:
“With Brother Tang’s strength, to kill a Condensing Evil Martial Artist, you still need cooperation?”
He found it sowhat amusing, treating Chen Yuan as if he were so significant figure, so much so that a Reach Profound powerhouse would even suggest cooperation; it really was laughable.
But upon further thought, he sensed sothing was amiss. Could there be sothing problematic with this Chen Yuan?
“I cannot act rashly against this person, not because I can’t kill him, but because doing so would cause so troubles. It just so happens you also want to kill him, so why not join hands? You take action, and I provide specific information.
You probably aren’t aware yet, but Chen Yuan has already secretly left Nanling Prefecture City.”
Tang Qian didn’t feel the slightest embarrassnt; Chen Yuan indeed wasn’t so easy to deal with for him.
He couldn’t take action, and none of his subordinates were certain to defeat Chen Yuan; going there would rely be a death sentence, not worth it.
Moreover, Tao Qingyuan and Shi Yunlong were watching him, and he couldn’t spare the ti to pursue Chen Yuan, whose task location he knew through so channels.
But the exact route he took wasn’t clear.
There was no ti to search every possible place!
Hearing this, the Blood Demon elder sneered inwardly, whispering:
“Brother Tang is using as a pawn, huh? Even Brother Tang finds this man problematic, so it would be unwise for to act against him. After all, it’s just a Ghost Child; dead is dead.”
“So… there’s no need for cooperation.”
Having road the Jianghu for decades, he wasn’t so easily deceived. Still, the sa principle applied: killing Chen Yuan was only because he disrupted his plans, but it wasn’t essential.
It could just be let go.
The smile on Tang Qian’s face slowly receded, and a powerful aura rose from him:
“You can refuse, but then you won’t leave here today!”
The Blood Demon did indeed have so reputation, but in essence, he was rely a Gang Condensing Martial Artist. Tang Qian could suppress him with a backhanded effort. Offering to cooperate was out of respect; refusing ant there was only one way left—death.
“Is Brother Tang threatening ?”
“And what if I am?”
Tang Qian looked at him unflinchingly, his gaze slightly stern.
The Blood Demon elder’s face turned red with restraint, yet he dared not voice any opposition because he knew, indeed, soone would die!
Gang Condensing Martial Artists and Reach Profound Martial Artists were simply not on the sa level.
There was a huge gulf between them, which only strength could bridge, regretfully, he did not possess such strength now.
“Alright… I agree.”
The Blood Demon decided to feign compliance; as long as he left the city, whether to kill Chen Yuan or not was still up to him, right?
“A wise man knows how to adapt. I know these Ghost Children are important to you; you brought four. Temporarily, I will keep two for you. Once the news of Chen Yuan’s death arrives, you can take them back,” Tang Qian said with a smile.
Without pressing him a bit, how could one know if this old ghost, the Blood Demon, would diligently do the work?
“You…” The Blood Demon gritted his teeth.
This arrangent truly disrupted his plans. Losing one Ghost Wood Child maybe he could find a replacent, but losing two more effectively ruled out any possibilities.
He didn’t have enough longevity!
He would never be able to breakthrough to the Reach Profound Realm in this lifeti.
“Hmm?”
Tang Qian slightly tilted his head to look at the Blood Demon.
The atmosphere beca slightly tense.
Taking a deep breath, the Blood Demon elder spoke softly:
“You want to kill Chen Yuan without implicating yourself, but I’m the one taking the biggest risk,”
“You’re not from Qingzhou. After killing him, just leave Qingzhou and head to Blood State. The imperial reach doesn’t extend that far. What are you worried about?”
“But I still bear a great risk. I know that Tao Qingyuan from the Heavenly Patrol greatly values Chen Yuan. Killing him would inevitably lead to being hunted down.”
“Alright, make your terms.”
Tang Qian knew that the benefits he had offered were still insufficient.
Blood Demon then smiled:
“Brother Tang is straightforward. My demands aren’t high—ten Xuanyuan Pills, plus… a child born on a Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour, with a Wood elental fate!”
With these things, he wouldn’t be at a loss. Even if he were hunted down, he could always flee to Blood State; it wouldn’t be the first ti he had done such a thing.
Tang Qian’s brow furrowed but then quickly relaxed:
“That’s doable; these are not difficult tasks.”
“Very well then!”
“Chen Yuan is currently on a mission; his destination is…” Tang Qian wasted no ti with unnecessary words and exerted great effort to obtain and relay this information to Blood Demon.
He urged him to set off imdiately without undue delay and to not underestimate Chen Yuan.
On the surface, the old Blood Demon nodded in agreent, but inwardly, he didn’t take it to heart.
He thought Tang Qian was too cautious and even a bit damaging to his own reputation to be so careful even in the face of a Condensing Evil Martial Artist.
It should be Chen Yuan who needed to be cautious around them.

Chen Yuan secretly left Nanling Prefecture, not traveling by water but by a rather muddy land route—do not misunderstand, mainly because it had rained in the past few days, and the ground was still wet, making it sowhat muddy.
As for which road Chen Yuan traveled… He wasn’t quite sure himself; it certainly wasn’t Chenghua Avenue.
It was just a small path.
Chen Yuan was well aware of his situation, having just killed Lin Beihan and dealt a heavy blow to the Azure Flood Dragon Association. Tang Qian was likely to vent his anger on him.
Moreover, with those annoying monks, Chen Yuan’s personal circumstances weren’t that good either.
But still, there wasn’t much he could do…
This ti, being assigned to investigate the mountain bandits in Mount Dugu in Qingshui County, Chen Yuan felt that if nothing unexpected happened, Qi Fortune might fall upon them.
Or at least it was definitely related to Qi Fortune.
Thinking about it, Chen Yuan was actually quite excited.
He now had the Blood Evil Saber continuously supplying him with Evil Qi, and his cultivation had been rising rapidly. Moreover, the Supre Mysterious Scripture was constantly devouring Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy to convert it for his use,
he was already very close to the peak of Condensing Evil.
Even faster than he had initially predicted. Maybe he would reach the peak of Condensing Evil after arriving in Qingshui County.
The distance to Qingshui County was relatively far, being one of the furthest counties in Nanling Prefecture. Chen Yuan was traveling by land, and without pushing his horse hard, it would take nearly seven days to arrive.
He was not in a big hurry, even intending to practice his cultivation along the way, aiming to fill the Evil Qi in his Dantian before reaching his destination!
The increase in strength might not be much, but being able to add even a little was extrely good.
Then he could devote all his spirit to breaking through to Heavenly Gang.
In this way, Chen Yuan, together with Mo Donghe and others, disguised and moved on, stopping occasionally, having packed up all the standard uniforms of the Heavenly Patrol, not intending to reveal their identities.
The journey was uneventful. Although they didn’t have the deterrence of the Heavenly Patrol’s uniform, the group of seven or eight had sturdy figures, clearly not the type to provoke trouble, so no one ca looking for trouble either.
Chen Yuan’s cultivation steadily increased. He even deliberately manipulated the Blood Evil Saber to make the Evil Qi fiercer, enduring so suffering, but the outco was favorable.
His speed of cultivation surged again!
He couldn’t help but marvel, feeling that the sensation of exploiting glitches was just incredibly strong!
It felt like his cultivation was simply being handed to him on a platter.
He had indeed practiced diligently before, but to tell the truth, the Condensing Evil level for Chen Yuan was less about hard work and more about the pure and constant stream of Evil Qi spewing from the Blood Evil Saber.
It was like an inexhaustible gold mine.
He wondered whether after reaching Heavenly Gang, the Evil Qi could continue like this. But upon reflection, Chen Yuan felt the likelihood was not high; obtaining the Evil Artifact, the Blood Evil Saber, was no easy feat.
Even when he first obtained it, he didn’t anticipate it would have this particular use.
No wonder Su Ziyue said that once it was exposed, it would incite contention.
Tsk tsk tsk…
…
A few miles outside a small forest near Qingshui County, Mo Donghe and several Heavenly Patrol Guards held the Yan Ling Saber, alerting their surroundings, forming a circle to protect Chen Yuan in the center.
Mo Donghe occasionally looked back at Chen Yuan, who was surrounded by Evil Qi, his eyes filled with envy. Gang Condensation Realm, he too yearned for it!
Yes, Chen Yuan was preparing to breakthrough the peak of Evil Qi!
Just yesterday, he felt the Evil Qi restless, almost reaching saturation. Fortunately, he could directly stabilize his cultivation before entering Qingshui County without delay.
Advancing in cultivation wasn’t as perilous as a breakthrough that required guard protection; Mo Donghe and his companions were purely concerned about Lord Chen and dared not slacken, but in reality, even if soone attacked, Chen Yuan could intervene anyti.
About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuan opened his eyes, and the Evil Qi around him swiftly retracted into his body!
