Chapter 237: Mysterious Powerhouse in Chapter 221! Chapter 237: Mysterious Powerhouse in Chapter 221! The only regret was that Chen Yuan had not found any Dragon Qi on the dragon scale; the scene before was rely an image, and it seed he would need a different opportunity to obtain it.
As for the na of this saber technique, Chen Yuan lowered his head to look at the saber in his hand, and thought of the previous Dragon Roar that had pierced the skies, mumbling softly,
“This technique shall be called, ‘Dragon Roar’!”
This was just the first step; Chen Yuan still needed to continue developing a saber technique that suited him.
Of course, it was not likely to be easy in the short term. Enlightennt required accumulation, and it couldn’t happen just by chance. Chen Yuan was able to reach this step because of his prior accumulation.
Whether it was practicing basic saber swings thousands of tis daily, or the cultivation of his endless killing path, all of it was a form of accumulation by Chen Yuan, and so he was able to hear the dragon roar and see the Black Dragon rise through the Qingyun, gaining so insight.
This technique also greatly satisfied Chen Yuan.
Looking at the scene he created, Chen Yuan’s lips slightly curved up, and he imdiately sat down cross-legged, reflecting on whether there was any aspect of that strike that could still be improved.
…
…
When Chen Yuan returned to the Chen Residence, the aroma of ink filled the small courtyard. His gaze shifted swiftly as he walked in, and indeed, in the courtyard, Yue Shan and others were stewing sothing, with the fragrance emanating from it.
Seeing Chen Yuan return, Yue Shan hurriedly reported that they were stewing so of the finest snake at and, as for the snake skin, they had skinned it due to its hard scales that ordinary blades could not damage. It could be fashioned into several fine inner armors.
Hearing this, Chen Yuan showed interest and imdiately instructed Yue Shan to tailor make one based on his asurents, as he highly valued his safety.
The forr inner armor was damaged, its quality hardly top-notch; snake demon’s inner armor would indeed be better.
Next, Chen Yuan walked over to the pot, and a servant promptly offered him a bowl for tasting.
Gently picking up a piece of snake at, Chen Yuan placed it in his mouth without saying much, hmm, the texture was delicate and smooth, exquisitely delicious, whether it was the inherent taste of the snake at or due to it being a demon.
But regardless of the reason, it now beca his al.
“My lord.”
Chen Yuan was dining with Yue Shan and others, giving them so instructions when Mo Donghe, dressed in new Black Cloud Clothing, approached with a slight bow.
“Is it done?”
Chen Yuan glanced at him and asked.
“My lord, the Wang Family Head and others have been imprisoned in the Heavenly Patrol Bureau’s prison, awaiting your decision!”
“Good, have a al for now.”
Chen Yuan nodded and gestured with his hand.
“Yes.”
A large portion was served before Mo Donghe and a few cloves of garlic were also placed beside him; evidently, they were aware of Mo Donghe’s preference for garlic.
This was understandable to Chen Yuan; after all, eating at without garlic halved the pleasure of dining…
After the al, Chen Yuan left the place to Yue Shan and others, and left alone; as long as he was there, Yue Shan, Mo Donghe, and others would still feel sowhat inhibited.
The present Chen Yuan was no longer on equal standing with them as before; he was now their superior, their lord, especially since Mo Donghe had taken the initiative to pledge his allegiance.
This had ford an invisible barrier between them.
After leaving the courtyard, Chen Yuan turned and went directly into the secret chamber where he had previously ditated. He had been so focused on observing the dragon scale’s oddities that he had neglected the snake gallbladder.
After realizing sothing significant, he hadn’t thoroughly investigated it either. Having now finished his al and after clearing up the mysteries of the dragon scale,
Chen Yuan thought of the snake gallbladder.
As for the dragon scale…
After displaying that scene, regardless of how he placed his hand on it, there was no longer any response. Clearly, it had lost its efficacy,
but Chen Yuan still kept it close to his body.
Regardless of the other issues, the dragon scale’s hardness was extrely strong; even when Chen Yuan struck it with full force, there was not even a sign of cracking.
It could definitely be considered a treasure.
Thus, Chen Yuan treated it like a Heart Guard Mirror, stored close to his chest, especially since the most vulnerable and vital parts of the body, other than the vital openings, are the head and heart.
Once these areas are attacked, it usually results in fatal injuries, and Chen Yuan took great care of them.
Slowly opening the mahogany box, he revealed the slightly pulsating snake gallbladder inside that was still warm to the touch. Although it was just a touch, Chen Yuan could still sense the imnse power contained within.
Looking at the snake gallbladder the size of a baby’s head in his hand, Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered. If he swallowed this, his physical body would surely experience another growth.
However, the snake blood within his body had not completely assimilated yet, and was still present inside him.
At this mont, he couldn’t help but think, how nice it would be if he had a stomach that could devour everything…
Thinking, Chen Yuan suddenly smiled, recognizing his greediness. Having a Qi Fortune Altar was already a marvelous fortune; how could he ask for more?
Having placed the Snake Gallbladder properly, Chen Yuan walked out of the secret room. This item was not needed for a few days; he could take it after all the Snake Blood was completely refined.
Now, he had other matters to address, such as interrogating the Wang Family Head and others. Why were they involved with a Snake Demon?
There was seemingly no connection between them, and most importantly, the strength of the Snake Demon was far greater than theirs, and it had not fully awakened its spiritual intelligence.
When encountering humans, it only had the desire to devour.
When he ca out, Yue Shan and others had finished their als, and Mo Donghe had gone to deliver a portion of snake soup to Tao Qingyuan, while Chen Yuan brought Yue Shan to the prison of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.
To many, the na of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau’s prison was a nightmare, as almost no one imprisoned there ever ca out alive, and the ans of punishnt were abundantly cruel.
In the past, so officials had just been captured and sent to the prison where they gave up all resistance, confessing their sins in detail, hoping that the Heavenly Patrol Bureau would grant them a swift end.
Chen Yuan presented his authority token, and no one dared to obstruct his path; most approached to pay their respects proactively.
His reputation in the Heavenly Patrol Bureau was indeed resounding; everyone recognized that Chen Yuan’s position in the bureau was second only to Green Envoy Tao Qingyuan. Even the veteran Heavenly Patrol Envoy Nie Qi Yun could not match him.
Recently, he had taken on many sensational tasks in Prefecture City, rapidly rising to beco one of the top hundred fighters on the Hidden Dragon List.
His future was extrely promising.
Facing such a figure, naturally many sought to make connections and curry favor, including the officials tasked specifically with overseeing the prison, who held positions equivalent to that of Heavenly Patrol Envoy,
but their primary duty remained in overseeing the prison, without other tasks, seldom interacting with Chen Yuan, yet his na was familiar to them.
Upon hearing that Chen Yuan had arrived at the prison, without much hesitation, they imdiately ca forward to greet Chen Yuan, wearing smiles and being very polite.
One does not strike a smiling face; moreover, there were no grievances between them, and Chen Yuan was happy to engage in idle chatter for a while, agreeing to have tea together next ti before the man finally left.
However, before leaving, he instructed his subordinates to obey Chen Yuan as they would him.
In response, Chen Yuan just smiled.
With his status and power, even if the Heavenly Patrol Envoy had said nothing, the guards in the prison would not dare show disrespect. However, with such introductions, things were better.
Before long, Chen Yuan entered the prison and saw the two family heads who were now clad in prison garb. Their hair was still sowhat tidy, and their aura was stable,
sitting cross-legged, maintaining a calm and composed deanor befitting those who managed a family.
But as Chen Yuan approached, they imdiately broke their calm facade, faces hanging with awkward smiles as they greeted Chen Yuan:
“We have seen Honorable Chen.”
“My Lord.”
Chen Yuan glanced at both of them, gestured to have the door opened, and then had his accompanying people step back as he stepped into the cell.
He didn’t beat around the bush but asked directly:
“Tell about this Snake Demon.”
The two exchanged looks, and the Wang Family Head, his gaze flickering, did not reply imdiately.
“My patience is limited. If you don’t talk, I might have to resort to other asures. You must have heard about the punishnts within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau. Would you like to try them? Oh, and your families have already been raided.”
Chen Yuan looked at them playfully, not taking them seriously or having any interest in beating around the bush. If they wouldn’t talk, he would just tornt them until they did.
Sacrificing young boys and girls was indeed a cri of extermination!
“My lord, Wang wants to say… could…”
Before the Wang Family Head could finish, Chen Yuan interrupted, saying indifferently:
“Don’t even think about such things. However, I could spare a trace of your bloodline. Go on… choose.”
The cornered Wang Family Head and the other exchanged looks, their eyes filled with helpless and bitter smiles, and ultimately, they began to reveal everything they knew.
Originally, their plan this year was indeed to fabricate the appearance of the Dragon God to fool the ignorant masses and let more people know the na of the Yunjiang Dragon God, thereby collecting money.
But a few months ago, a man in black found them, threatening and enticing them to perform the sacrifice of young boys and girls, and moreover, those kids had to be astrologically compatible and bear unusual destinies.
Initially, they refused, as utilizing young boys and girls for sacrifice was indeed risky. Of course, Chen Yuan didn’t believe this part, knowing their prior deeds,
but he didn’t interrupt their narrative.
In their story, even they didn’t know that the supposed Yunjiang Dragon God was actually a Snake Demon. They were surprised themselves when Chen Yuan revealed its true form.
As for the man in black’s motives and identity, they were still unknown.
After all, their contact with him was very brief, though they could confirm one thing: that man was definitely a fighter of the Reach Profound Realm, having subdued them with just a wave of his hand upon their first eting.
