Chapter 486: Chapter 377 Emperor Jingtai of Great Jin!_3
In addition to Zhang Xuan, the Green Envoy of Nanling, if Chen Yuan didn’t make use of him, it would be a complete waste of all his previous efforts.
After listening to Chen Yuan’s story, Zhang Xuan looked at him deeply as if he understood so of his thoughts and knew that he intended to build his own power base.
No wonder he was unwilling to join the Zhang faction, he had grand ambitions and plans in mind.
He was preparing to develop his own exclusive force.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan pondered for a mont before finally agreeing to Chen Yuan.
While this matter truly violated the laws, looking around the world, officials who did such were not uncommon. What Chen Yuan was doing was not particularly extraordinary, only that Zhang Xuan had not seen Chen Yuan’s true intentions.
Nanling Prefecture was close to the heartland of Qingzhou and could influence the entire region. Although not overly abundant in resources, its geographical location was actually quite advantageous.
As long as he fard this area deeply, once his strength grew, he could gradually connect it all together.
After handling this matter, Chen Yuan did not linger too long and continued towards Qingzhou City.
Without the drag of Yue Shan and the others, Chen Yuan traveled quite rapidly, reaching Qingzhou City in less than three days without any stopovers.
His trip this ti served a dual purpose: first, to express his gratitude to Jiang He and report back.
Secondly, to resolve Liu Zhengsong’s position as Magistrate through Jiang He.
It was only in this way that he could truly and completely control Tangshan Prefecture.
Otherwise, if the State Governor sent soone else to take over and they hindered his path, would he kill them or not?
Not killing made things prone to error.
Killing, on the other hand, could potentially cause a huge uproar.
His current power was not yet enough to contend with a State Governor of a province.
After many months, Qingzhou City was still the sa bustling hub of activity, with throngs of people everywhere. Chen Yuan kept a low profile, blending into the crowd.
Amid the sea of people, Chen Yuan suppressed the aura of his cultivation and heard many rumors circulating within Qingzhou City.
For example, the Qingyun Sword Sect had added a new Core Realm Elder to fill the vacancy left by the previous Elder. Many disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect and young talents from Qingzhou were pursuing Xiao Qingmu.
There were also rumors about other forces, and so on.
Many of these discussions were about him.
So said that Chen Yuan was a genius from Qingzhou who had subdued Shuzhou, pleasing many hearts.
Others speculated about the strength of the Hidden Dragon Four Extres.
Along with praise, there was also slander.
So said Chen Yuan was the court’s hound, and even if he had subdued Shuzhou, that was the court’s achievent, not that of the martial artists of Qingzhou’s Jianghu. Furthermore,
so recounted the deeds he had done in Nanling Prefecture and Tangshan Prefecture.
They said he was cruel and ruthless, bloodthirsty…
Human nature cos in all shapes and forms.
After staying briefly and gaining so understanding, Chen Yuan vanished without a trace, only to appear again in front of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.
The guarding Heavenly Patrol Guards examined Chen Yuan’s waist token and imdiately beca very respectful, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
Obviously, they knew exactly who he was.
Within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau of Qingzhou, Chen Yuan was practically a legend.
Many Heavenly Patrol Guards saw Chen Yuan as a goal for their lives, believing that if Chen Yuan could rise up, they could too because Chen Yuan was the one who joined the Heavenly Patrol Bureau and subsequently rose like a dragon and soared to the clouds.
After so pleasantries, one of them imdiately ran to report his arrival.
Soon he returned with the order, indicating the Golden Envoy, Jiang He, was waiting for Chen Yuan in the Heavenly Patrol Hall.
As Chen Yuan entered the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, the news of his arrival spread rapidly within the organization, causing quite a stir.
The commotion it caused was even greater than the arrival of a Golden Envoy.
The reason is simple.
First, Chen Yuan was very down to earth; a year ago, he was just an ordinary Heavenly Patrol Guard, and a year later, he beca well-known in Jianghu, a distinguished guest of a Golden Envoy.
Furthermore, with the title of Hidden Dragon Four Extres.
It was normal for so sensation to occur.
After the internal upheaval in the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, so forces with their spies within took note, and the news began to spread quickly…
Inside the Heavenly Patrol Hall.
Chen Yuan did not go through the formalities of announcent. The gatekeeper looked at his waist token and did not dare stop him, allowing Chen Yuan to enter directly as usual to et Jiang He.
He was still in white attire, his expression still cool, and he still looked every bit the Sword Immortal.
His appearance seed as if it had never changed.
“Subordinate Chen Yuan greets the superior,” Chen Yuan said, bowing and cupping his fist in salute.
“Sit,” Jiang He glanced at Chen Yuan and uttered a single word.
There was no hint of any abnormal change in his eyes.
“Thank you, superior,” Chen Yuan nodded slightly and sat down.
Jiang He made a sword gesture, and an invisible fluctuation enveloped the entire Heavenly Patrol Hall.
“Your subordinate has not failed his mission, and Zhao Hao has been thoroughly subdued,” Chen Yuan declared solemnly.
“Well done. Rest assured, even though Zhao Hao has died, there will be no connection to you. As for that person from Shushan, I have already sent word on your behalf afterward,” Jiang He said indifferently.
Chen Yuan let out a slight sigh of relief.
Although he wasn’t afraid of making enemies, it was naturally best to avoid conflicts if possible.
Especially since the other party was a true Sword Dao Grandmaster.
“I must also thank the superior for the assistance back in Hidden Soldier Valley,” Chen Yuan said with a smile.
As long as a promise was made, I wouldn’t go back on my word,” Jiang He replied.
“No matter what, I am grateful for the superior’s help, and it is sothing I’ll rember deeply,” Chen Yuan said respectfully.
The Exterminating Immortal Sword at Jiang He’s side chid slightly, and he frowned slightly, his gaze sparkling with a glint as it paused on the long blade Chen Yuan carried on his back, and he said sternly, “You spent so ti in Hidden Soldier Valley for the sake of that fierce blade on your back, didn’t you?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, locking eyes with Jiang He, realizing that the other party had seen through his secret by so ans, and he nodded in confirmation, saying, “Indeed.”
