Chapter 604: Chapter 416 Key (Must See! Don’t Pamper the Book)_3
And she had already passed away, her soul returned to the netherworld.
Leaving many to lant regretfully.
Xiao Qingmu was not well-known throughout Qingzhou, but in the vicinity of Qingzhou City, she was familiar to many, revered as a fairy by nurous scions of the great clans and the true disciples, who all pursued her.
Of course, their true purpose, for the most part, was actually aid at the identity of Sect Master Xiao Yusheng’s only daughter of the Qingyun Sword Sect, feeling that marrying her could save them decades of struggle.
After casually inquiring about so news and seeing no great gains, Chen Yuan lost interest and soon arrived outside the Heavenly Patrol Bureau of Qingzhou City.
He revealed his identity.
After the Heavenly Patrol Guard at the gate verified his identity, they did not dare to delay and imdiately sent soone to report, and after receiving a positive reply, they led him straight into the Heavenly Patrol Hall.
His arrival seed quite tily as the assembly inside was discussing the candidate for the Tangshan Qing Envoy, with many eager to try, wanting to pick the ripe fruit, as they were all aware of Tangshan’s wealth.
Only, previously due to the chaos in Tangshan, no one dared to volunteer to suppress it, until Chen Yuan appeared out of nowhere, and within no more than half a month, had beheaded many.
Since then, Tangshan had been peaceful.
When Chen Yuan was there, no one dared have any ulterior motives, but now that Chen Yuan had been transferred, those Heavenly Patrol Envoys who had been in the state city for many years naturally sought to govern a land and wield great power.
“Your servant Chen Yuan, greets the Golden Envoy and the two Vice Envoys,” Chen Yuan greeted them with a clasped fist and bow.
The Imperial Decree was the transfer order, but Jingtai hadn’t yet arranged any official rank or position for him; he was still the Fifth Rank Heavenly Patrol Green Envoy, and facing the two Vice Envoys from the Fourth Rank, he naturally could not be impolite.
The two Vice Envoys had t Chen Yuan before, and they nodded with a smile, about to say sothing when suddenly they sensed a hint of Qi emanating from Chen Yuan and their pupils instantly widened in shock.
Core Realm!
Chen Yuan had stepped into the Core Realm!
They promptly stood up with grave expressions and returned the greeting with a cupped fist, as his official rank and class would probably not differ much from theirs in a few days; there was no need to act superior now.
Jiang He looked calmly at Chen Yuan, nodding slightly before turning his gaze to those Qing Envoys eager to assu the position in Tangshan, and said indifferently,
“Are you done speaking?”
“Replying to the great one, we have finished.”
“If you are done, you may leave. I rely inford you as a courtesy that the decision for the position of Tangshan Qing Envoy has already been made, with Heavenly Patrol Envoy Han Yu to take on the role!”
“This…,”
A few Reach Profound Cultivation Qing Envoys hesitated, feeling that it was sowhat unfair. Who was Han Yu?
Why would he be directly appointed as an Envoy?
They hadn’t even heard his na before.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan smiled and said to the crowd,
“Han Yu is a powerful subordinate under my command, and his appointnt as Qing Envoy was recomnded by to the Golden Envoy. If any of you have objections, you may speak,
and I am willing to accommodate.”
Hearing this, several people wanted to say sothing. They dared not refute Jiang He, but Chen Yuan was of the sa level as them, albeit with greater power.
They couldn’t defeat him, but speaking up shouldn’t be a problem, right?
But just as they were about to say sothing, they were interrupted by Chen Yuan’s next words, as he said,
“Tangshan Prefecture has not been peaceful lately, with Demon Dao evildoers from Blood State infiltrating it. I suggest those who take office bring a coffin, to avoid trouble.”
This statent blatantly placed the threat out in the open, making it clear to them that anyone who took the position would die.
Everyone’s gaze unanimously shifted to Jiang He, hoping he would speak out and chastise, but the latter acted as if he hadn’t heard anything and remained unresponsive.
The two Vice Envoys also bowed their heads, seemingly deep in thought.
There were people from their own factions among those present; making a recomndation or two would normally be inconsequential, but since Jiang He had made his stance clear, it indicated there was no room for turning back.
Moreover, Chen Yuan had directly issued a threat, so speaking up at that mont would be unwise.
Inside the great hall, silence reigned, and after a tense three breaths, those Qing Envoys finally understood the situation. They quickly forced a smile, chuckled awkwardly, and said,
“Lord Chen speaks the truth, Tangshan’s position is of great importance and beyond our capabilities.”
“Yes, indeed, we were presumptuous.”
“My lord, your servant takes his leave.”
“My lord, your servant takes his leave…”
In a brief mont, those Qing Envoys quickly fled.
The two Vice Envoys ca forward to exchange a few pleasantries, congratulating Chen Yuan on his Core Formation, and then very sensibly took their leave as well, leaving only Jiang He behind.
With a wave of his hand, he set up a Prohibition around them. Jiang He’s expression turned serious,
“Jingtai summoning you to the Capital at this mont is the best opportunity. Now, Jiang will also let you in on the plans: Moluo was actually suppressed by the court beneath the Imperial City Dragon Vein, with the intention of using Great Jin’s national fate to completely eradicate him.”
“What you must do can be considered simple, yet not easy, or challenging, but probably not too difficult for you: solidify your position as the leader of the Imperial City within two months, and participate in the ancestral sacrifice ceremony.”
Jiang He felt that with Chen Yuan’s ability, two months was a tight but probably sufficient tifra.
The most important thing was, that was all the ti they had!
“Ancestral sacrifice ceremony?”
“In a little over two months, the Sima Royal Family’s triennial ancestral sacrifice ceremony will take place, the best opportunity to rescue Moluo. At that ti, we will cause so commotion to distract the Capital’s powerhouses, while you infiltrate the Dragon Vein and rescue Moluo.”
“Will there be any Prohibitions or things like that?”
“We have already prepared everything for you, so don’t worry. All you need to do is what I have just explained.”
“This… Are there really no leaders guarding the Imperial City now?”
“Indeed, there are none at present.”
Chen Yuan’s gaze sharpened, and he nodded,
“I understand!”
“Your role in rescuing Moluo is crucial, and you carry the hopes of all of us. Success or failure hinges on this attempt; if we fail,
any future efforts will be even more troubleso!”
