Ranked 326th on the Hidden Dragon List!

The news instantly shook nearly half of Nangling Prefecture.

Chen Yuan's name began to spread in Nangling Prefecture for the first time.

Many people were inquiring about Chen Yuan's background and definitively learned everything that had happened in Qinghe County.

He killed a Qi Gathering martial artist with one slash.

He fought three opponents alone, including Ning Sha martial artist Ren Changyi.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to determine Ren Changyi's strength at the time, otherwise Chen Yuan's ranking would have been even higher.

Afterward, he wagered a battle against Xuan Nu, a Ning Sha martial artist from Jinshan Temple, and repelled Xuan Nu with one punch.

Most importantly, Chen Yuan is only twenty-one years old this year!

It's not without reason that he can instantly jump dozens of places to rank 326th.

The reputation of Dengxian Tower has been almost flawless for hundreds of years. Therefore, many people recognized Chen Yuan's strength and potential.

Compared to strength, his potential is more important.

Dengxian Tower judged that Chen Yuan's current strength is enough to match a Ning Sha martial artist.

It's quite extraordinary!

There are only a few people in the entire Nangling Prefecture who can make it onto the Hidden Dragon List. After Zhang Xuan, who had the highest ranking, left, everyone thought that there was no one worthy of attention in the Nangling Prefecture Sky Survey Division.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan emerged out of nowhere.

The relationship between him and Zhang Xuan was also known to everyone.

When Tao Qingyuan learned about this, he smiled without any surprise. From the moment he saw Chen Yuan's file, he was sure that Chen Yuan could make it onto the list.

The only uncertainty was how high he would rank.

Three hundred and twenty-six...

It may not be much compared to the whole world, but Chen Yuan is still very young. As long as he doesn't fall prematurely and his strength improves further, he will have a chance to catch up with Zhang Xuan and enter the top 100 in the future.

However, the possibility is rather slim.

After all, Zhang Xuan has a lot of resources to support him.

But when Nie Qiyun and others learned about it, they were truly shocked. They didn't understand why Chen Yuan had such strength just after breaking through.

This is simply unreasonable!

Chen Yuan's rise increased his jealousy a lot.

But some people were open-minded, such as Lu Yang...

He was ready to befriend Chen Yuan properly, maybe he could get some guidance in the future. Anyway, there was no grievance between him and Chen Yuan.

Why not befriend him?

Thus, everyone had different expressions...

But Chen Yuan wasn't very clear about it yet.

When he left the archives, he summoned Yue Shan, preparing to inquire about the Shen family.

"Sir, all the information about the Shen family is here, including... Shen Yanshu..."

Yue Shan glanced at Chen Yuan strangely and presented the file.

He didn't understand why Chen Yuan would ask him to secretly investigate the Shen family, and also pay attention to this Shen Yanshu... Could it be that he had taken a fancy to her?

It shouldn't be. In his opinion, Chen Yuan should be a person who is devoted to martial arts, not someone who is swayed by romantic feelings.

"Not bad."

Chen Yuan smiled and waved for Yue Shan to leave.

Then, Chen Yuan directly opened the file and began to carefully read about the Shen family's situation.

The Shen family in the west of the city is not very conspicuous in the huge Nangling Prefecture. It is a member of the many forces, starting from business, and has been around for nearly a hundred years through three generations.

The current head of the family is called Shen Kaishan, with a Ning Gang Qi Gathering cultivation level, and he is also the strongest in the Shen family.

Compared to previous years, the Shen family is now somewhat declining. Other forces are gradually eroding the Shen family's interests. It can be said that the Shen family's current situation is not good.

Shen Kaishan has a son and a daughter. The youngest son is only seventeen years old and has already refined his blood several times. He has extraordinary talent and is highly valued by Shen Kaishan. As for the eldest daughter, Shen Yanshu, who is Chen Yuan's target,

The file describes that she has loved to wield guns and sticks since she was a child. She has been cultivating until now, and her strength is unknown.

However, her appearance can be described as beautiful, and she is decisive in her actions, with a high status in the Shen family.

Chen Yuan closed the file, his eyes flashing.

There was no record of anything about the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body. Chen Yuan didn't think that Yue Shan hadn't done his best to investigate. It should be that the Shen family or Shen Yanshu deliberately hid the matter about her spirit body.

He still has to meet this woman in person. If possible, he should seize the Phoenix Marrow Qi as soon as possible!

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking about whether to go to the Shen family tonight,

Yue Shan rushed in with a happy face.

"What happened?"

Chen Yuan asked, looking at Yue Shan.

"Sir, you are on the Hidden Dragon List!"

Yue Shan didn't beat around the bush and told everything he had heard.

Three hundred and twenty-six...

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, not as happy as Yue Shan had imagined.

Since learning about the Hidden Dragon List, Chen Yuan believed that he would definitely be on it, not because he underestimated the heroes of the world, but because he was confident in his own strength.

To be on the Hidden Dragon List, talent, age, and strength are equally important.

And Chen Yuan happened to have some advantages in these aspects.

In the battle with the Ren family, he shocked everyone with his skills, and it was already determined at that time that it would spread.

Unless everyone is killed, it can't be hidden at all.

Chen Yuan didn't think about hiding it either. In the past, his idea was to be as low-key as possible, but after learning about the importance of the Hidden Dragon List from Zhang Xuan and Tao Qingyuan, his idea began to change subtly.

He always has to make a move, and he can't hide every time.

If that's the case, then let it be. As long as he always keeps his trump cards, Chen Yuan is not afraid of anyone coming to assassinate him.

"Congratulations, Sir! Congratulations, Sir!"

Yue Shan looked even happier than Chen Yuan.

"Hehe... It's not too late to congratulate me when I reach the ranking of Lord Zhang Xuan. Three hundred and twenty-six... is a bit low."

"You are right, Sir."

Yue Shan couldn't help but admire Chen Yuan's calm expression.

After all, not many people can remain so calm after being on the Hidden Dragon List. This represents something extraordinary, proving that Chen Yuan has become famous in Nangling Prefecture on a small scale.

Which Jianghu wanderer doesn't want to become famous?

"Where did you hear the news from?"

Chen Yuan asked.

He felt that his subordinates were more well-informed than him.

"Everyone in the Sky Survey Division is talking about you, Sir. There is no need to inquire. I just heard the news from an acquaintance Sky Surveyor."

Chen Yuan understood. It seemed that it had spread within the Sky Survey Division.

Well, it's probably the same in Nangling Prefecture.

"Sir."

As the two were talking, Mo Donghe cupped his fists at the door.

"Just come in and talk."

Chen Yuan's face was smiling.

Chen Yuan had no airs with Yue Shan and the others unless he was on a mission. But Mo Donghe was different. They didn't have much contact.

Therefore, everything was always done officially.

His attitude towards Chen Yuan was also more respectful.

Especially after Chen Yuan showed his strength a few days ago.

The Sky Survey Division is a place where strength speaks.

Mo Donghe glanced at Yue Shan without any expression, and took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Chen Yuan.

"This is..."

Chen Yuan took the letter without opening it.

Mo Donghe: "Reporting to Sir, a passerby handed it to me, saying it was a letter from Dengxian Tower, and asked me to give it to you. I didn't dare to delay..."

Raising an eyebrow, Chen Yuan was a little surprised...

Dengxian Tower!

They actually wrote to him. What's going on?

"Okay, I see."

On the surface, Chen Yuan didn't show any shock.

As a superior, you must always maintain a calm and steady attitude towards subordinates like Mo Donghe.

"This subordinate takes his leave."

Mo Donghe said calmly, cupped his hands, and turned to leave after getting Chen Yuan's permission.

He was not good at socializing, nor did he like it. He would rather spend this time cultivating.

At that time, he could also become a Sky Surveyor and perform tasks alone.

"This guy..." Yue Shan shook his head.

He and Mo Donghe had no grudges, but they had different personalities and couldn't get along.

In front of Yue Shan, Chen Yuan opened the so-called letter from Dengxian Tower.

......

......

North of Nangling City, in front of an inconspicuous tavern.

Chen Yuan looked around with a calm expression.

On the surface, it is an ordinary tavern, and it is open for business on weekdays, but only people of a certain level will know the true identity behind this tavern.

It's a branch of Dengxian Tower in Nangling Prefecture.

Chen Yuan had already learned about this place from Zhang Xuan before. He wanted to come and see it, but he had been too busy with cultivation.

Unexpectedly, the people from Dengxian Tower invited him to come and have a chat first.

As soon as he entered the tavern, the waiter at the door carefully looked Chen Yuan up and down, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward and asked:

"Are you Patrol Envoy Chen from the Sky Survey Division?"

"You recognize me?"

Chen Yuan was indeed a little surprised that the waiter at the door recognized him.

"This little one has seen your portrait. The楼主 (Lóuzhǔ, Tower Master) ordered me to wait here." The waiter smiled slyly.

"Where is your 楼主?"

"The 楼主 is waiting for you on the top floor right now, please follow me." The waiter stepped aside and welcomed him.

"Okay."

Chen Yuan followed the waiter upstairs. The first three floors were ordinary taverns, with many customers shouting, but the fourth and fifth floors were very quiet.

He went all the way up to the sixth floor. An old servant was resting with his eyes closed in front of the door. When he saw Chen Yuan, he smiled and nodded, saying:

"Patrol Envoy Chen, please!"

The waiter turned and went downstairs, and the old servant opened the door.

A burst of tea fragrance wafted over.

Chen Yuan stepped in, and the old servant closed the door and continued to guard outside.

As soon as he entered, Chen Yuan saw a man in white in front of him. The man was dressed in white, had black hair, was slender, and had a handsome face. His eyes met Chen Yuan's.

He reached out and said:

"Patrol Envoy Chen has come at the right time. This spiritual tea has just been brewed."

Chen Yuan smiled and didn't stand on ceremony. He walked directly to the white-clothed man and sat down slowly.

The white-clothed man poured a cup of spiritual tea for Chen Yuan. Steam was rising from the tea, and he smiled:

"My surname is Ye, my name is Chenbai, and I am the楼主 (Lóuzhǔ, Tower Master) of Dengxian Tower in Nangling. Please forgive me for this presumptuous invitation."

"楼主 Ye is too polite."

Chen Yuan didn't dare to underestimate the white-clothed man in front of him, or rather, he didn't dare to underestimate Dengxian Tower behind him.

Being able to have branches in various prefectures across the world, apart from the imperial court, is probably unique.
