Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 204: Number One in Nanling!
This title was given to him because he always maintained a calm and indifferent demeanor when facing enemies. However, people rarely mentioned it in ordinary times.
Also... Blood Demon Elder was a title, but his real name was unknown.
Those who could be given a title were all famous, or powerful and with amazing potential. Ordinary people wouldn't even get a nickname if they wanted one.
However, this also had some disadvantages. The more powerful the reputation, the more people would challenge him, wanting to step on his name to climb to a higher ranking. It would also make more people wary.
Now, if Chen Yuan wasn't mistaken, Tang Qian probably had an even stronger desire to kill him.
Chen Yuan stayed with the Yunjiang Four Fiends for a while, and after learning about the recent events, he left alone, telling them to be careful recently, lest they be targeted.
Chen Yuan arranged some tasks for them, focusing on the movements of the Azure Flood Dragon Society and the Dragon-Tiger Sect.
In addition, find a way to send a gift to the Prefect of Nanling Prefecture at night...
Chen Yuan didn't forget the promise he once made to Zhao Nanshan to avenge him and kill Xu Lingtian when he was strong enough. At first, Chen Yuan refused.
It's just that Zhao Nanshan gave too much...
Cultivation techniques and guidance on elixirs made Zhao Nanshan's kindness to Chen Yuan very great, and he had no intention of going back on his promise.
He thought that when his strength improved in the future, he would destroy Xu Lingtian, but he didn't expect the Dragon-Tiger Sect to take the initiative to get involved and join forces with the Azure Flood Dragon Society!
Perhaps they would join forces to kill him one day.
Chen Yuan had to be vigilant early on.
After leaving the Yunjiang Four Fiends, Chen Yuan went straight to the Sky Patrol Division. Chen Yuan didn't hide his identity along the way, and he couldn't hide it from some people at all.
Even the news that he went to Clearwater County to carry out his mission could be leaked, let alone the news of his return?
It was better to show his true colors openly.
Chen Yuan's appearance also caused a stir. After all, it had just been rumored a few days ago that he had killed the notorious Blood Demon Elder and entered the top 100 of the Hidden Dragon List.
The people of Nanling Prefecture were no strangers to Chen Yuan, and they could recognize him at a glance.
The bustling streets on both sides of the road were discussing Chen Yuan, but Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged, as if he were just an outsider.
"Is that Chen Yuan?"
Someone looked up and quickly lowered their head.
"Yes, it's him. I saw him when he killed the wicked Bei Le before."
"Demon Blade Chen Yuan, so majestic. When will I get a reputation too?" Someone muttered.
"What is your cultivation level?" Someone asked.
The man who muttered puffed out his chest and said lightly:
"I am not talented, but I have reached the Blood Refining stage, with the strength of a hundred jun, and my broadsword skills are fierce."
The person next to him glanced at him and said disdainfully:
"Next life..."
"He's really a handsome talent. Xiu'er, send someone to inquire whether Patrol Envoy Chen has been married." A young lady in fancy clothes blushed and instructed the maid beside her.
When she saw Chen Yuan's sharp eyes looking back, her legs couldn't help but tighten, and she quickly lowered her head.
Chen Yuan retracted his gaze. He heard these words very clearly. He subconsciously touched his chin and judged that the girl should be a young lady from a wealthy family.
But he had no interest.
In his previous life, he had played with a lot of 'wealthy family' clubhouse girls.
It was just a little awkward to be watched like this, so he moved his feet lightly and increased his speed.
At this moment, a pale and thin young man suddenly shouted:
"Patrol Envoy Chen, when will you be the number one in Nanling?"
When he shouted, there was also restraint and expectation in his eyes.
Chen Yuan's reputation was very good, and his image to the outside world had always been to hate evil like an enemy. And because he had no background, after the news spread, he became the goal of many people who were new to martial arts.
They also wanted to be as majestic as Chen Yuan and have great strength.
After looking at him, Chen Yuan didn't speak and quickly disappeared, but he whispered in his heart:
"Soon!"
......
......
In front of the Sky Patrol Division, Chen Yuan showed his waist token to the Sky Patrol Guards guarding the gate and walked straight in, leaving two Sky Patrol Guards with admiring and admiring eyes.
They were none other than the two who guarded the gate when Chen Yuan first came to the Sky Patrol Division.
It was they who had the deepest impression of Chen Yuan, especially after Chen Yuan became a Sky Patrol Envoy. Every time they recalled the scene when they first saw Chen Yuan, they would sigh, "Comparing people is really maddening."
Before long, Chen Yuan arrived outside the Sky Patrol Hall. After being informed, he entered the hall with a normal expression.
Nothing had changed from before. Tao Qingyuan was still the same, with a cup of clear tea beside him, and he was still holding an unknown dossier in his hand. Chen Yuan didn't know what he was looking at.
Could it also be the 'Spring and Autumn Annals'?
He didn't know what Tao Qingyuan was looking at, but what he was looking at was the real Spring and Autumn Annals.
"Subordinate Chen Yuan greets the Lord."
Tao Qingyuan's eyes had been fixed on Chen Yuan. It had only been half a month, but he didn't know why it felt like a year had passed.
Chen Yuan's strength had actually become stronger again!
He could actually kill the Blood Demon Elder. This strength... even when Zhang Xuan was a Sky Patrol Envoy before, it didn't seem to be an easy task.
This Chen Yuan really has great secrets!
When he first heard the news, his state of mind was a little unstable. How could anyone cultivate so quickly? Even taking drugs wouldn't be like this.
But the fact was right in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.
"The Demon Blade is here..." After a moment, Tao Qingyuan's eyes moved away and he chuckled lightly.
"Lord is joking, this subordinate doesn't like this name." Chen Yuan shook his head and sat in the lower seat at Tao Qingyuan's gesture.
"It's good to have a title. This official has been in the martial world for decades and hasn't gotten a title." Tao Qingyuan shook his head.
"If Lord wants one, it's easy."
"Tell me about the Blood Demon matter..." Tao Qingyuan's eyes were a little interested.
He had also hunted down the Blood Demon before, but unfortunately, his methods were indeed very strange, and he was able to fake his death and escape from his hands. He was a difficult character.
Of course, in comparison, Chen Yuan seemed even more extraordinary.
Without thinking too much, Chen Yuan opened his mouth and briefly told what happened that day. However, Chen Yuan glossed over his strength, only saying that he didn't expect to be able to kill the Blood Demon.
"How did the Blood Demon know that you were going to Mount Dagu to suppress bandits?" After listening, Tao Qingyuan's expression was a little dignified, and he asked in a deep voice.
He originally thought it was a coincidence, but he didn't expect the Blood Demon to know Chen Yuan's whereabouts in advance and intercept him on Mount Dagu. If Chen Yuan hadn't had extraordinary means, the news that would have come would have been Chen Yuan's death.
"This is also what this subordinate wants to know." Chen Yuan said in a low voice with a slight frown.
This time he came not for a simple task report, but Chen Yuan wanted to know who was in collusion with Tang Qian and wanted to kill him.
Or, had the Azure Flood Dragon Society's intelligence bought off people inside the Sky Patrol Division?
No matter which one it was, the parasite must be found.
This time it was the Blood Demon Elder that he could deal with, but what if the next time he performed a mission, the opponent was someone Chen Yuan couldn't resist? Chen Yuan didn't want this to happen a second time.
He couldn't pin his life on the weakness of the other party.
Looking at Chen Yuan with a solemn expression, Tao Qingyuan frowned slightly:
"This official will investigate this matter carefully."
The tasks performed by the Sky Patrol Envoys will be sealed after they are claimed. Except for existences of the same level, they cannot be read at all. Even if some people know, they only have a smattering of knowledge.
It is rare for someone like the Blood Demon Elder to know so clearly that Chen Yuan was going to Mount Dagu to suppress bandits, unless someone could foresee this step.
"This subordinate believes in the Lord."
Chen Yuan showed some smiles and stopped at the right time. No matter what, Tao Qingyuan was also his immediate superior. Since he had already agreed, there was nothing to say.
"You said that Tang Qian was behind the Blood Demon's attempt to kill you?" Tao Qingyuan's expression was uncertain.
"That's right. This was personally said by the ghost child raised by the Blood Demon."
"Tang Qian..." Tao Qingyuan held the ends of the armrest and exerted a little force.
A murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He understood that this was retaliation for his and Shi Yunlong's joint obstruction of him before, which led to Lin Beihan being killed by Chen Yuan. Intercepting Chen Yuan was not only for Lin Beihan, but also for him and Shi Yunlong to see.
"Lord, Tang Qian has committed a great crime. This person cannot be left alive."
"Tang Qian is not so easy to kill. Now Xu Lingtian of the Dragon-Tiger Sect is joining hands with him. He even fought with Shi Yunlong a few days ago. In addition, the Divine Firmament Hall and the Jinshan Temple... must be guarded against."
Tao Qingyuan was still a little worried, for fear of causing a greater shock.
"Lord... letting it go is the greatest disaster."
Compared to Tao Qingyuan's concerns, Chen Yuan seemed very decisive.
If he were a Sky Patrol Envoy, he would never allow any instability in his territory. If there was any, he would destroy it.
Hesitation would only make things worse.
Looking at Chen Yuan, Tao Qingyuan also knew that what he said made sense, but his strength was indeed a little insufficient. Even with Shi Yunlong, the entire Nanling Prefecture could only dispatch three Profound Connection experts.
Among them, he and Shi Yunlong could only exert the strength of one Profound Connection Aperture, while Tang Qian had opened the second Aperture. The most important thing was... the Divine Firmament Hall and the Jinshan Temple would definitely reap the benefits.
"This official will consider it."
Chen Yuan didn't say that his current strength might also be able to resist a Profound Connection expert. He didn't dare to say for sure before fighting, and it wasn't good to reveal too much strength.
"The time to act will be when Zhang Xuan returns." Seeming to feel that these words were a bit of a loss of his own prestige, Tao Qingyuan added at the end.
"Lord Zhang?"
Chen Yuan's expression changed. He knew that Zhang Xuan had gone to advance to Profound Connection, but there had been no movement for several months, so Chen Yuan didn't place his hopes on him.
