Chapter 344: Chapter 316: Returning Ho Rich and Honored (Books can be Slaughtered) Chapter 344: Chapter 316: Returning Ho Rich and Honored (Books can be Slaughtered) Golden Envoy Jiang He and two Vice Envoys had decided on the matter, and although the several Heavenly Patrol Green Envoys below had so dissatisfaction, they dared not say much—Chen Yuan indeed took a shortcut, that’s true.
But this shortcut was traded with his life!
Just now, the Golden Envoy had made it very clear, announcing it as a great rit and asking who among them would like to undertake it. They all had too many concerns; if they couldn’t grasp the opportunity, whom could they bla?
Although they thought this way, they still felt sowhat uncomfortable.
Among them, so had not yet accumulated enough rit to rid themselves of the Green Envoy identity, while Chen Yuan had risen to prominence so quickly. His official rank and grade were easily confird.
This disparity truly made them uncomfortable.
However, nobody cared about their feelings, and after the decision had been made, Jiang He continued to instruct them on other matters. It wasn’t possible to call so many people together just because of a Green Envoy’s status.
It was just done casually, leaving them without a word to say.
Do you not see that even Zhang Xuan, a scion of the four great Divine Envoys, also had to go through such a process to accumulate rit before he could take office as the Nanling Green Envoy?
Chen Yuan’s identity was confird very quickly; that very day, soone delivered the brand-new Heavenly Patrol Green Envoy uniform to him, with a wisp of green embroidery finally hanging on his chest.
And the Yan Ling Saber in his hand was also upgraded to a higher grade.
For several days in a row, Chen Yuan either imrsed himself in the Collection Pavilion, assessing Jianghu secrets and judging the world’s major trends, or he was rigorously cultivating in the inn. He truly did not rest for even a day.
His cultivation was also steadily increasing; however, compared to before, it was sowhat slower, which he was not quite used to.
Although he rarely showed himself, the news that Chen Yuan had arrived in Qingzhou City soon spread from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, and the news of his having beco a Heavenly Patrol Green Envoy also began to spread rapidly.
So observed, so were resentful—emotions were all over the place.
So thought that with Jiang He backing him, Chen Yuan would inevitably act unbridled in the future and advised their disciples and clansn not to provoke this man; he even dared to kill the son of a Core Realm Master—who else would he fear in Qingzhou?
Even a Core Realm Master had fallen because of him…
Of course, besides this, many also fantasized about stepping on Chen Yuan’s head to make a na for themselves in Qingzhou; however, Chen Yuan’s whereabouts were mostly secretive, unknown to others,
Otherwise, there would definitely have been challenges at his door.
When Chen Yuan felt he had learned enough in the Collection Pavilion, he began his next action—to search for the child of Qi Fortune!
Originally, on his way there, Chen Yuan had speculated that how could Qingzhou City, a significant place, lack a person with Qi Fortune? But after loitering in Qingzhou City for two days,
he found none!
This disappointed Chen Yuan a bit; every discovery of a child of Qi Fortune ant his cultivation could experience a surge. If not, he would at least obtain so other treasures extrely beneficial for him.
But not finding them ant not finding them; this thing was mysterious—sotis when you don’t look for it, it cos on its own, but when you want to find it, it’s exactly nowhere to be found.
Ultimately, Chen Yuan had to give up this idea and pin his hopes on Tangshan Prefecture.
He estimated his departure ti was approaching, and if he were to head to Tangshan Prefecture, he would pass through Ping’an County. If he did return, it would indeed be a triumphant return.
…
…
In a small courtyard within the Qingzhou Heavenly Patrol Bureau.
This place was Jiang He’s residence in the bureau, not very large, but exquisitely decorated. A pond inside housed several Spiritual Fish, and the shore was planted with so Spirit Grass, making the whole courtyard seem underlain with a Gathering Essence Formation.
The Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy here was nearly twice as rich as in the outside world.
Dressed in white, Golden Envoy Jiang He held one hand behind his back, casting a figure like a beautiful painting from a distance. His aura had vanished completely, no longer like the sharp sword piercing the sky as before.
Instead, he seed like a scholar with no power to truss a chicken.
“My Lord, Chen, the Green Envoy, requests an audience,”
ca a highly respectful voice from outside the courtyard.
The might of Jiang He in Qingzhou was clear for all to see, especially since he had made an example of a Vice Envoy who had opposed him, intimidating everyone into respect, along with the news that had previously spread.
In this place, Jiang He had indeed beco a deity in their hearts.
An unblemished white-robed Sword God.
“Let him in.”
A voice transmission fell accurately into the ears of that Heavenly Patrol Guard, who bowed respectfully and whispered:
“Yes, I obey the command.”
Before long, Chen Yuan entered the small courtyard and imdiately sensed the abnormally rich Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy here. He felt that one could improve one’s cultivation rely by residing here, without even needing to cultivate.
Indeed, the life of the strong was always so simple, unadorned yet tedious.
Approaching Jiang He, Chen Yuan gave a fist salute and said:
“My Lord.”
“How has your reading been these past few days?” Jiang He asked.
“Not bad, I have gained a rather deep understanding of the situations in Qingzhou and across the world.”
Saying so, Chen Yuan also sighed inwardly.
The limitations he had before were indeed quite significant; it was only upon arriving in Qingzhou City that he realized much of what he could easily learn here was previously unreachable.
Yet at the sa ti, he also understood the aning behind the words Su Ziyue had spoken before; knowing too much could truly lead to despair.
The path of Martial Arts is imnsely difficult, akin to ascending a verdant mountain; the higher one climbs, the tougher it gets. Though there are many experts in the world today, how many people had to be born just to cultivate these few?
To Reach Profound Realm is already a one-in-ten-thousand level of achievent.
The road that lies ahead will only get tougher….
It was precisely for this reason that many Martial Artists couldn’t resist colluding with the Demon Dao for the fleeting pleasure of a brief boost in power.
At the sa ti, most of the Cultivation Resources in this world were held by the court and so top Jianghu sects, with so Spiritual Plants and Objects impossible to find anywhere else.
The situation in the court was deteriorating, with Qingzhou still considered one of the better States, as other State Cities fared even worse, and the Jianghu powers already seed to be gaining an upper hand.
If it were anyone else, they might feel powerless about the current court situation, but Chen Yuan was different. From various judgnts, he had sensed that the Great Jin Dynasty was already on a downward spiral.
Perhaps, all it would take was soone to make a call, and it could bring down the house.
This scenario sowhat resembled the final years of his previous life’s dynasty…
Therefore, he must enhance his strength as quickly as possible to have a share in this situation.
“What do you think about the court?”
Hearing Chen Yuan articulate his profound understanding of Qingzhou and the realm, Jiang He suddenly posed this question, for so reason.
Chen Yuan thought for a mont and said softly,
“The great trend of the world, long united, must divide; long divided, must unite. Great Jin, if unable to stem the overwhelming tide, may soon see wars ignite.”
Jiang He was with the Taoist Divine Palace, and they were tied together in this; otherwise, Chen Yuan saying such rebellious words would have been tantamount to seeking death.
But why did he speak them out loud?
Because he vaguely guessed that the Taoist Divine Palace also had significant ambitions.
Otherwise, why would it specifically expand its power in Qingzhou?
As he knew, if Jiang He were to go to Central State, he would surely be reused, and his talents and strength would definitely attract the Great Jin Dynasty’s attention.
From their previous confrontations, Chen Yuan could tell Jiang He was probably only half a step away from the Yang Transformation Realm, making him quite strong in Qingzhou.
Together with other hidden mbers of the Taoist Divine Palace, they had the possibility to control Qingzhou, considering that Qingzhou had so top sects but lacked the presence of the top ten Immortal Sects.
Of course, this was only Chen Yuan’s conjecture; whether it was true remained unknown.
Giving Chen Yuan a deep look, Jiang He slowly withdrew his gaze without saying anything more but handed over the Dan Talisman he had promised to Chen Yuan, saying,
“Here’s the Dan Talisman, make the matter at Tangshan Prefecture count.”
“Your Excellency can rest assured about my handling of matters,” Chen Yuan responded with a slight curl of his lips. Killing…was it difficult?
Of course, he was aware it wasn’t just about killing. From Jiang He’s words, it was implied that he needed to obtain evidence. Otherwise, how would it count as rit?
“Hmm, go on, and if you cannot overpower the enemy, send a ssage to .”
“I shall take my leave, Your Excellency,” Chen Yuan said.
He nodded, then turned and left.
Having Jiang He, a formidable being on his side, undoubtedly provided him much tranquility and enabled him to act even more aggressively.
After Chen Yuan had left, Jiang He took out the Heavenly Book and said lightly,
“This young man sees beyond; he probably has already perceived our sches.”
Su Ziyue: “How could soone I regard highly be incapable?”
A deep male voice followed,
“Chen Yuan is indeed extraordinary. I didn’t expect his mastery over his physical body to be so profound. At such a young age, he has reached the Blood Qi Like Dragon Realm, which suggests that obtaining the Ascending Immortal Fruit is not without hope.”
“That Cultivation Technique suits him well.” The woman previously referred to by Su Ziyue as Sister Su Qing also spoke in a graceful and generous tone.
“Yes…”
“Daoist of the Seven Emotions, how goes the investigation into Chen Yuan’s background?” the deep-voiced man spoke again.
Ever since they decided to bet on Chen Yuan, they had conducted a comprehensive investigation of him; his outstanding talents suggested there might be more to him.
After a mont’s silence, Su Ziyue said,
“Chen Yuan’s parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his uncle. However, I found sothing peculiar.”
“Oh? What is it?” Jiang He focused his attention.
“In the investigation, the information about his parents was always vague, just two nas and nothing more can be found,
and the uncle who raised Chen Yuan… it seems that not much about him can be found either, as if soone erased his traces.” Su Ziyue deliberated.
After she finished, a silence fell upon the Heavenly Book, and Jiang He said,
“As long as Chen Yuan himself has no issues, even if there’s sothing about his background, it doesn’t matter. After all, who among us doesn’t have so history?”
“It seems that Brother Tian Jian Dao is quite impressed with Chen Yuan,” the warm and generous woman softly chuckled.
“This young man, Chen Yuan, has the potential for Yang Transformation!”
Long after, Jiang He comnted.
“By the way, have there been any directives from Elder Moluo?” the deep-voiced man asked.
“Besides sending to Nanling Prefecture that ti, no news has co through; he’s probably… fallen asleep again,” Su Ziyue said.
