Inside the Blood Blade Sect's Council Hall.

Even though it was late at night, the hall was brightly lit. The Supreme Elder, Lin Zhidong, with his white hair and youthful complexion, sat at the head of the table. To his left sat a middle-aged man, the current Sect Leader of the Blood Blade Sect.

"Supreme Elder, the news from the Unborn Teaching indicates they may not be interested in us..."

Lin Zhidong's gaze was profound as he gazed into the distance, "It's normal for the Unborn Teaching to not be interested in us. Without reaching the Grandmaster realm, it's impossible to establish a foothold in Qingzhou."

There was an unspoken threshold in the world. Generally, sects with Profound Realm experts could only occupy a prefecture, while Core Realm Grandmasters could expand their influence to other prefectures.

"Supreme Elder, you reached that level many years ago. Why are you unwilling to form your Core?" The middle-aged man asked, puzzled. In his younger years, Lin Zhidong was a rising star on the Hidden Dragon List, possessing considerable talent.

Logically, he should have had the opportunity to form his Core, but he had been suppressing it. Otherwise, the Blood Blade Sect would have dominated Tang Mountain and surpassed other forces by now.

"I'm not confident about the Life and Death Barrier, so I dare not take the risk. Now that the Blood Blade Sect is stable with you, I'll attempt the breakthrough after Chen Yuan's matter is settled," Lin Zhidong said in a deep voice.

Forming a Core has always been a significant challenge, trapping countless individuals. Those who could form a Celestial Core were all outstanding individuals, capable of roaming the martial world freely.

They were revered as Grandmasters!

"Speaking of Chen Yuan, Supreme Elder, do you think he'll fall for it?"

Chen Yuan was right. Pan Qing was instructed by Lin Zhidong to leak the information to him because the matter was difficult to conceal. The grudges between them were already out in the open.

Even if they didn't take any action, Chen Yuan wouldn't be careless.

Therefore, they decided to confront him openly. Today's events were merely a smokescreen, fooling everyone, including the current Sect Leader of the Blood Blade Sect.

It wasn't until Pan Qing was summoned later that he learned the truth and realized the depth of the Supreme Elder's plan. The insults were just words.

The real killer move was Pan Qing!

"With his arrogant and decisive nature, he's likely to fall for it. I sent Pan Qing to lower his guard and make him act quickly. By the time he figures it out, it will be too late."

Lin Zhidong had long been aware of the relationship between Pan Qing and Du Ming. When Chen Yuan subdued Du Ming, Lin Zhidong didn't say anything on the surface, but he had already formed a plan in his mind.

He would use Du Ming to make Chen Yuan believe.

Of course, the premise was to create a "real" situation first.

The words spoken today were not entirely fabricated. Everyone below wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Only when they believed it would they be able to deceive Chen Yuan.

Because Lin Zhidong didn't trust them, the matter had to be kept secret.

It wouldn't be too late to gather them tonight at midnight.

They had to be cautious when dealing with Chen Yuan. No matter how excessive his actions were, they needed a legitimate reason to attack him. Otherwise, did they think Jiang He was a fool?

Would a mere insult be enough to stop his rage?

But if Chen Yuan attacked first, it would be different. They would only be defending themselves, and no one could say anything. Jiang He would only blame Chen Yuan for being rash.

If it came to that, and Jiang He still wanted to suppress them, the martial world would be in turmoil. Jiang He would surely see this, as long as he wasn't foolish.

"But Chen Yuan's strength..." The Blood Blade Sect Leader hesitated, his expression solemn.

Someone who had successively killed Shen Yongzhi and Song Jingang should not be underestimated. With the strength of a Profound Realm late-stage expert, he could look down on most of them.

"What if he's at the top of the Hidden Dragon List and possesses the strength of a Profound Realm late-stage expert? I don't believe he's truly invincible in the Profound Realm. Ten Profound Realm experts working together, plus the combined forces of my Blood Blade Sect and other sects..." Lin Zhidong said with a faint smile, "The advantage is on our side!"

He was confident in this. Even if he was a genius at the top of the Hidden Dragon List, there was a limit. It was impossible for him to be invincible. Ten against one, even the top ten on the Hidden Dragon List would find it difficult.

He didn't believe Chen Yuan had such strength...

......

......

The next day.

From early morning, the Sky Patrol Department had been in motion. All the Sky Patrol Guards had solemn expressions, holding Wild Goose Blade, guarding an open space.

Nearly three hundred of them had turned out, it could be said they were out in full force.

The Tang Mountain Prefecture Magistrate, under Chen Yuan's instructions, stabilized the situation within the city to prevent chaos. The Sky Patrol Department's decree to exterminate the Blood Blade Sect had also been posted in front of the Sky Patrol Department's gate.

It listed the Blood Blade Sect's ten major crimes, which were too numerous to count. Anyone who saw it would want to destroy those guys.

Chen Yuan, dressed in black, Wild Goose Blade at his waist, scanned the crowd and said in a cold voice:

"Let's go!"

The voice was short, but it contained an undeniable determination.

All the Sky Patrol Guards immediately mounted their horses and rushed out of the Sky Patrol Department.

Chen Yuan stood in the air, traveling through the sky.

Everyone in Tang Mountain Prefecture who saw this scene was shocked. They could clearly sense the bone-chilling killing intent emanating from the Sky Patrol Guards. Such a grand scene was rare.

The prefecture city was shaken, and the martial artists were frightened.

Countless people discussed and speculated about who Chen Yuan was going to destroy.

Some said to look in front of the Sky Patrol Department's gate. He was going to deal with the Blood Blade Sect.

This news made people even more excited. After all, the Blood Blade Sect was definitely one of the top powers in Tang Mountain Prefecture. Few forces could compare to it.

Lin Zhidong was also known as the number one expert in Tang Mountain.

Chen Yuan was really picking on the tough nuts.

The shocking news spread like a butterfly flapping its wings, reaching further and further.

The owner of the Immortal Ascension Tower immediately led his people to the Blood Blade Sect as quickly as possible, preparing to watch the battle. He had a feeling that this would be big news.

Of course, his speed couldn't match the speed of Chen Yuan's group.

After all, they were going straight to the Blood Blade Sect, which Du Ming thought was to gain a time advantage.

He was also strange at Chen Yuan's actions. Wasn't it supposed to be done secretly this time? Why was Chen Yuan making such a big show? Only Pan Qing felt a trace of unease in his heart.

The Tang Mountain Prefecture military, led by Du Ming, had arrived at the only road leading to the Blood Blade Sect. There were a total of one thousand eight hundred people, the elite of the military.

Everyone was fully equipped with armor and bows and crossbows.

After Chen Yuan met up with them, he immediately led the army on a forced march without hesitation.

The Blood Blade Sect's location was not far from Tang Mountain Prefecture, about thirty miles away, located in a valley. Chen Yuan's group arrived at its mountain gate in less than half an hour.

When they arrived, the disciples of the Blood Blade Sect were in chaos. Chen Yuan was in the void, and Pan Qing whispered beside him:

"My Lord, we should take advantage of the chaos and kill our way in, catching them off guard."

"No, the imperial court is a righteous army. Even if we destroy the Blood Blade Sect, we must do it in a fair and square manner." Chen Yuan glanced at Pan Qing, looked at the Blood Blade Sect's mountain gate in the distance, and said loudly:

"Where is Lin Zhidong? Come out and die!"

The voice was filled with gang qi, resounding between heaven and earth.

Soon, a hoarse voice came out: "Chen Qingshi has arrived at the Blood Blade Sect. I wonder what laws the Blood Blade Sect has broken?"

Lin Zhidong, wearing a large red robe, his long beard blowing in the cold wind, stepped into the void step by step, looking at Chen Yuan with some shock and anger in his eyes.

"Do I have to list all the crimes the Blood Blade Sect has committed over the years?"

Lin Zhidong snorted coldly:

"My Blood Blade Sect has always been peaceful and stable. Even if Chen Qingshi attacks, why bother with a crime?" Then, he turned his gaze, glaring at Pan Qing and said:

"Pan Qing, you bastard, how dare you betray us and join the imperial court's lackeys."

Pan Qing smiled lightly: "Elder Lin, those who are able to recognize current trends are wise. Chen Qingshi is invincible, suppressing Tang Mountain. Do you think your little tricks can deal with Chen Qingshi?

I am just abandoning darkness and embracing the light."

"Presumptuous!"

Lin Zhidong reprimanded, his aura rising.

Chen Yuan looked at the performance of both sides with a smile, and said lightly: "Well said, those who are able to recognize current trends are wise. Abandoning darkness and embracing the light, not being in league with your villains is a wise move. But... Headmaster Pan is obviously not that wise."

Pan Qing looked puzzled, not quite understanding the meaning of Chen Yuan's words. Shouldn't he be the one who was wise?

Lin Zhidong was also shocked, and then he saw Chen Yuan with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, but before he could remind Pan Qing, suddenly, Chen Yuan moved, and a gang qi directly imprisoned Pan Qing.

A punch directly pierced through his dantian. At such a close distance, coupled with Chen Yuan's sudden attack, Pan Qing was completely caught off guard and was crippled by Chen Yuan.

Du Ming on the side also looked horrified, not quite understanding what happened.

Why would Chen Yuan suddenly attack Pan Qing?

The people below were also in an uproar. Only Lin Zhidong had a livid face. He was still thinking about how Pan Qing could sneak attack Chen Yuan later, but he didn't expect that he would be noticed by him.

"Chen... Chen Qingshi, you..."

Pan Qing glared at Chen Yuan, but Chen Yuan grabbed his neck, sneered and looked at him and said:

"Headmaster Pan, tell me... are you considered wise?"

"You... you..." Pan Qing's face flushed red.

"Lord Chen, what are you doing?" Du Ming's face changed drastically, and he was a little vigilant.

"Could it be that Lord Du can't see that Pan Qing is a ghost? Heh... does Chen think of himself as a mindless fool? You want to deceive me with such a clumsy trick?"

"What, you said... Brother Pan is deceiving you." Du Ming's eyes narrowed.

Chen Yuan turned his eyes to Lin Zhidong and smiled:

"What do you think?"

"When did you find out?" Lin Zhidong's heart sank.

"How long do you need to think about such a simple game? Chen already knew when Pan Qing just said it." Chen Yuan grabbed Pan Qing's neck with one hand, looking calm and composed.

"Then you still dare to come, aren't you afraid of falling here today?"

"Last night, Pan Qing said something right, you are just a bunch of local chickens and dogs, even if you join hands, you are still local chickens and dogs, what is Chen Yuan afraid of?"

"Arrogant!"

Lin Zhidong's face was ugly, and he said word by word.

He had a new understanding of Chen Yuan's arrogance and self-confidence. Knowing that they had set up an ambush, he still dared to come, really seeking death.

"Okay, where are the others? Why don't you come out and show up? If you don't show up, Chen will have to beat you old man to death first." Chen Yuan said.

"Everyone, show yourselves."

Lin Zhidong shouted sharply, and auras erupted from the surrounding areas. In a short moment, they surrounded Chen Yuan from a distance. Obviously, they had already hidden their auras and hid in various places.

"Extremely arrogant!"

"Chen Yuan, what ability do you have to be so arrogant? Today, you will be beheaded under the sword."

"You are not young, but your tone is not small."

"Today, I will let you know what is called heaven and earth."

"Humph..."

The eight Profound Realm experts who emerged had different expressions, but they all converged on the same path, glaring at Chen Yuan, obviously angered by his previous remarks. Su Dan Novel Network

It's just that they don't take them seriously at all.

At this moment, Du Ming also completely understood that Pan Qing had deceived him, and wanted to lure Chen Yuan here, so that he could be justified.

Then he glared at Pan Qing:

"Dog thing, you dare to lie to me!"

"Uh... uh..." Pan Qing opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"Chen... Qingshi, Du knows nothing about this."

Du Ming looked a little guilty, feeling that he had introduced Chen Yuan into this dangerous situation.

"It's okay, just a bunch of trash."

Staring at Du Ming for a moment, he was sure that Du Ming was indeed used this time, and did not mean to betray him, but his face was still a little frightened.

"Lord Chen, you go first, Du will block these people, with your strength you can still break out." Du Ming knew that Chen Yuan was very strong, but he didn't think he could fight nine with one enemy.

The previous arrogant words were just to save a little face.

"No need."

Chen Yuan said softly, and opened the Heavenly Eye pupil technique in the next moment, but the people in front of him did not move at all, which made him quite disappointed. I thought there would be a small harvest this time,

Unexpectedly, they are all a bunch of trash.

"You want to lead Chen to this place to find an excuse. Coincidentally, Chen also wants to gather you all together, so that it will be done once and for all."

"My Lord Chen, you might as well show up with other helpers."

Lin Zhidong felt that Chen Yuan's arrogant confidence was because there were other helpers.

"To deal with you, why need helpers." Chen Yuan chuckled, his right arm surged with qi and blood, and with one punch, he blasted the Pan Qing in his hand into a blood mist, muttering:

"Last night you said that if there was a lie, Chen would be killed with one punch. Today, Chen will fulfill this oath."

After saying that, he looked at Du Ming and said:

"Lord Du, you don't need to participate in this dispute, just lead the military below to break through the Blood Blade Sect, remember, kill them all, don't leave anyone alive."

Du Ming hesitated on his face, but looking at Chen Yuan's confident and calm look, he still bowed and said:

"I will obey."

"As for you..." Chen Yuan glanced around, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly:

"As for you, let's go together!"

Then, a terrifying aura rose from Chen Yuan's body, and his body let out a roar.

Blood is like a dragon, tiger and leopard thunder!
