"You can't keep my secret forever, because only the dead can keep secrets."

How could Chen Yuan be the kind of person to voluntarily hand over his weakness to someone else?

His target, from the beginning, was Liu Shuanghe.

Using Liu Shuanghe's sword to kill Li Mingqi!

This way, he wouldn't leave any openings. Even if someone suspected something, they wouldn't suspect him. None of the injuries on Li Mingqi's body were inflicted by Chen Yuan.

An examination wouldn't reveal anything.

Even if someone suspected, what could they do?

Without evidence, Chen Yuan would sue them for defamation.

Squatting in front of Liu Shuanghe, a faint cyan-colored aura instantly flooded into the Qi Luck Altar in Chen Yuan's mind. Soon, a new guidance was transmitted.

"Nanling Prefecture City, Yang Family Ancestral Hall, Tai Xuan Scripture."

A hint of 'as expected' flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

He had previously speculated that the next opportunity guidance would be the Qi Absorption technique he urgently needed. Now, there were no loopholes.

Thus, Chen Yuan was finally able to confirm one thing: the opportunities guided by the Qi Luck Altar were tailored for him, the most suitable things for him at the moment.

This relieved him.

If it were something else, it would indeed be a bit troublesome for him right now.

His cultivation was already far into the Bone Refinement realm. Before long, he would be able to completely finish refining his bones, so he needed to plan ahead for the next stage of cultivation.

Tai Xuan Scripture.

Chen Yuan hadn't heard of this name, but from the name alone, he could feel that this technique was definitely extraordinary.

Don't ask why, it's just a feeling.

From the Vajra Glazed Body, to the Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Pearl, to the Blood Fiend Saber, everything guided by the Qi Luck Altar was exceptional.

After remaining silent for a while, Chen Yuan dismissed some distracting thoughts. There was no use thinking so much now. He hadn't even gone to Nanling Prefecture City yet, and he didn't know what the so-called Yang Family represented.

He didn't know how strong they were, let alone the Tai Xuan Scripture guided by the altar.

All of this would have to wait until he entered the Sky Patrol Department before he could investigate.

Slowly squatting on the ground, Chen Yuan gently stroked Liu Shuanghe's eyes, causing him to close them.

He always kept his word. If he said someone would accompany Li Mingqi, he would definitely not go back on his word. If he said someone would close Liu Shuanghe's eyes, he would do it.

He couldn't help it, he was just that committed to his promises.

Looking at Li Mingqi and Liu Shuanghe lying quietly on the ground, Chen Yuan smiled. These two guys, one wanted to coerce him, and the other wanted to use him as a pawn.

But...

In the end, Chen Yuan was the one orchestrating everything from behind.

First, he used Liu Shuanghe's hand to kill Li Mingqi, and then he ambushed and schemed against Liu Shuanghe, becoming the biggest winner.

He wondered what they would talk about on the road to the Yellow Springs below.

Hmm...

They should be cursing him.

Chen Yuan didn't disturb any of the traces here. He just erased some of his own footprints and quickly pushed open the stone door, walking out of the back mountain.

"Old Zhao, reveal yourself."

Chen Yuan said very calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure leaped down from the back mountain, landing steadily beside Chen Yuan.

It was Zhao Nanshan.

Before taking action, Chen Yuan had ordered Wang Ping to find Zhao Nanshan, just in case.

After all, Liu Shuanghe's strength was indeed strong. If the Blood Fiend Saber didn't eliminate Liu Shuanghe, it would definitely be a fierce battle. Having Zhao Nanshan's help would make things much easier.

But in the end, Zhao Nanshan's help wasn't needed. He easily ambushed Liu Shuanghe.

Chen Yuan himself didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"It's done?"

Zhao Nanshan looked at Chen Yuan in surprise.

"Everything is settled. Thank you, Old Zhao, for coming here."

"Hehe, no problem, no problem."

After exchanging a few pleasantries in the back mountain, Chen Yuan left the back mountain alone, gathered all the constables, and told them that County Lieutenant Li Mingqi had been killed by Li Mingqi.

......

......

"What did you say? Li Mingqi is dead!"

County Magistrate Wu Qingfeng was shocked. He immediately stood up, his face full of disbelief.

He never expected that Li Mingqi would die just after the branch of the Eternal Life Sect had been eliminated. Moreover, only Chen Yuan had survived.

No matter how he looked at it, something felt wrong.

Chen Yuan's face was a little flustered:

"Sir, we need you to make a decision now. This humble officer has already sealed off the back mountain of Ci'en Temple, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Tell me the whole story in detail,"

Wu Qingfeng stared at Chen Yuan and said.

Chen Yuan nodded and told the general story. The cause was that Li Mingqi seemed to have found something in Ci'en Temple, and then ordered Chen Yuan to take a group of constables to Ci'en Temple.

Most of the constables were ordered by Li Mingqi to search for remnants of the Eternal Life Sect, while Chen Yuan was taken to the back mountain.

After that, Li Mingqi went in alone.

Chen Yuan was stationed outside the back mountain.

Not long after, Chen Yuan suddenly heard a terrified voice from inside and rushed in.

Then he saw an extremely terrifying scene. County Lieutenant Li Mingqi's left arm had been cut off, and his whole body was covered in sword marks. Beside him was a dried corpse.

Chen Yuan took a closer look and realized that it was actually Liu Shuanghe, the head of the Liu family in Cao County!

He was shocked and quickly realized that something big had happened. He ordered people to seal off the entire back mountain and then took people back to the yamen.

After listening to Chen Yuan's account, Wu Qingfeng frowned.

First, there was the incident of the Eternal Life Sect demons causing trouble, and then County Lieutenant Li Mingqi died unexpectedly. He felt that he probably wouldn't be able to be this county magistrate for long.

The people above definitely had opinions about him.

Thinking of this, Wu Qingfeng sat down on the chair and ordered the people around him:

"Go to the prefecture city immediately and report to Lord Prefect!"

"Before the people from the prefecture city arrive, no one is allowed to step into the back mountain. At the same time, issue a gag order, and no one is allowed to spread the news. Violators will be severely punished!"

After a long silence, Wu Qingfeng said in a low voice.

"Yes, this humble officer obeys!"

Chen Yuan raised his head, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Urged by Wu Qingfeng, the people from the county yamen did not dare to delay and immediately rushed to the prefecture city. Lord Prefect was furious and found the Sky Patrol Department lord stationed in the prefecture city.

After discussing it, they decided that this matter must be thoroughly investigated.

How long had it been since the Eternal Life Sect demons in the prefecture city were eliminated? They had actually welcomed such revenge, which simply meant that they were not taking the imperial court seriously.

At the same time, the high-level members of the Eternal Life Sect who received the news were also very suspicious.

When did he order someone to assassinate the Ping An County County Lieutenant?

During these few days, Chen Yuan worked diligently and did not slack off in the slightest. He ordered people to patrol the county town every day, as if a storm was really coming.

Of course, Chen Yuan did not neglect his cultivation.

Through various means, he managed to get some Bone Refinement Pills in just two days to maintain his daily cultivation.

On this day.

County Yamen, Constable's Office.

Wang Ping sat in front of Chen Yuan, his face full of admiration.

He didn't know what method Yuan-ge used, but he actually killed Li Mingqi, a big shot who he usually looked up to. It was completely beyond his expectations.

However, Chen Yuan didn't have any joyful expression. He remained calm.

"How are things going?"

Chen Yuan said in a low voice.

"Yuan-ge, don't worry. The two guys who attacked the Liu family siblings before have been completely taken down. Wu Yushan wanted to see you, but I broke three of his legs."

Wang Ping's mouth curled up, as if he had discovered a new world.

"Very good..."

Chen Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

In this way, the last link in the logic was filled.

Otherwise, there would still be loopholes after all.

In this way, the cause was that Li Mingqi ordered people to kill the Liu family siblings and frame Chen Yuan. However, Liu Shuanghe seemed to know something and pointed the finger directly at Li Mingqi.

In the end, both sides were injured.

And Chen Yuan was the most wronged of them all.

He could also be separated from the logic.

It was just a simple revenge story.

No...

Perhaps the matter of Li Mingqi embezzling silver should also be added.

"What about Li Mingqi's side?"

"I have also arranged for people to keep an eye on that side. Currently, Li Mingqi's family members don't know much about this matter and dare not act rashly," Wang Ping continued.

"Well done."

Chen Yuan praised.

"It's all thanks to Yuan-ge's meticulous planning. I'm just following orders."

Wang Ping grinned.

"Sir, the County Magistrate is calling you over, saying that the people from the Prefecture City have arrived."

Suddenly, a young constable walked up and bowed.

"Okay, I know."

Chen Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

When Chen Yuan arrived at the main hall, there were already two people sitting there, one was County Magistrate Wu Qingfeng, and the other was a middle-aged man with a cold expression.

He was wearing the same Sky Patrol Department standard black robe as Zhang Xuan, with a strand of white patterns on his chest.

Behind him stood four or five Sky Patrol Guards.

Sky Patrol Envoy!

Chen Yuan's pupils shrank. They had actually attracted a Sky Patrol Envoy. However, thinking about it, it was right. The death of a County Lieutenant was enough to alarm the Sky Patrol Envoy.

According to Chen Yuan's understanding from Zhao Nanshan,

The Sky Patrol Department had four levels of division: Black, White, Cyan, and Gold.

The most common were the Sky Patrol Guards. Above them were the Sky Patrol Envoys in the Condensing Astral Realm, and above them were the Cyan Envoys, who guarded a prefecture and possessed astonishing power.

"This humble officer greets Lord County Magistrate."

Chen Yuan cupped his fists and bowed.

Wu Qingfeng nodded and said to Chen Yuan:

"Constable Chen, this is Lord Lu Yang, the Sky Patrol Envoy sent by the superiors to investigate the death of County Lieutenant Li."

"Greetings, Lord Lu."

Chen Yuan cupped his hands.

Lu Yang sized up Chen Yuan and said in a low voice:

"You are Chen Yuan."

"That's right."

Chen Yuan nodded.

Wu Qingfeng's eyes flashed in surprise. He hadn't mentioned Chen Yuan's name. He had only addressed him as Constable Chen. Why did Lu Yang know his name?

Could there be some secret?

"Lord Lu has also heard of Constable Chen's name?"

Wu Qingfeng immediately asked.

Lu Yang nodded, squeezing out a smile:

"Before this envoy came, Lord Zhang Xuan had told me Chen Yuan's name and asked me to take him to the Prefecture City with me."

"Take him to the Prefecture City?"

Wu Qingfeng's eyes narrowed, somewhat puzzled.
