As things gradually heated up, in just one day, the name Chen Yuan began to be mentioned by most people in Tangshan Prefecture. There were many reasons for this.

But the most important one was that the previous buzz had not dissipated in Tangshan Prefecture, and this time it was like a chemical reaction. Secondly, the status of a Core Realm Grandmaster was too high.

So high that Tangshan Prefecture had not produced a Core Realm Grandmaster for many years. There had been some in the past, but that was many years ago. And such a powerful figure was killed by Chen Yuan, so how strong must he be?

In short, Chen Yuan's name had become completely famous.

From then on, no one in Tangshan Prefecture dared to have any ulterior motives. In fact, because of this news, another thing spread. It was rumored that several forces from other prefectures, with Profound Connection martial artists sitting in charge, wanted to enter Tangshan Prefecture to develop and obtain those vast resources under the persuasion of a rogue Core Realm Grandmaster.

They were about to start taking action, but after hearing that Chen Yuan had killed a Grandmaster of the No Birth Sect with one move, the rogue Grandmaster chickened out and dared not mention monopolizing the resources in Tangshan again.

Since this Core Realm Grandmaster dared not act, the other Profound Connection forces dared not move rashly.

After all, according to the legends, Chen Yuan killed Profound Connection experts as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, one with each strike...

Soon, the news about Chen Yuan killing a Grandmaster spread from the mouths of some people in Tangshan Prefecture to Qing Prefecture and even the martial world. The initial shock was unparalleled.

After all, it was too shocking for a Profound Connection to defeat a Grandmaster. Even Zuo Chengzong, who topped the Hidden Dragon List, would find it difficult to do, and Chen Yuan was only seventh on the list.

Why?

Later, after close investigation, everyone learned the truth. It turned out that Chen Yuan did not kill the Grandmaster with his real strength, but with a Dan Talisman.

As a result, the sensation was much smaller.

Because it wasn't unheard of for Profound Connection martial artists to kill Grandmasters with Dan Talismans, it was just relatively rare...

After that, many people's attention shifted from Chen Yuan to the Dan Talisman, and then to Jiang He, the Sword God who ranked seventh on the Wind and Cloud List.

There were too many witnesses that day. Many people knew that Chen Yuan had released a sword aura, and the only person currently associated with Chen Yuan and swords was Jiang He.

They began to speculate about the relationship between Chen Yuan and Jiang He.

Why was he worthy of being protected by a Dan Talisman?

It should be known that refining Dan Talismans was not easy. There were only a few people in the world who could be granted Dan Talismans for protection if they had deep backgrounds. Now, Chen Yuan was one of them.

Many people didn't even dare to provoke Chen Yuan, fearing that he still had a Dan Talisman for protection.

That was something that could kill a Grandmaster, and it was definitely the best among all Dan Talismans.

The rumors from the outside world were rampant, but Chen Yuan, the center of the topic, remained silent.

He didn't say a word, no matter how people speculated outside.

What was there to say?

It was completely unnecessary.

His main focus now was on cultivation and smashing the place in Shu Prefecture.

This day.

Chen Yuan and Du Ming left the Sky Survey Department for a change. They changed into clothes and makeup, disguised themselves, and strolled around Tangshan Prefecture City. If it weren't for someone particularly familiar with them, they wouldn't be able to recognize them as the two people who were now the talk of the town.

Du Ming reported some matters to Chen Yuan, saying that they were now expanding their sphere of influence. Liangshan Marsh from Xue Prefecture had sent a master who personally wanted to visit Chen Yuan.

Anyone who wasn't a fool could tell who was controlling everything behind the scenes in Tangshan Prefecture.

As for Du Ming, he was just a figurehead on the surface.

However, Chen Yuan did not meet him, but asked Du Ming to receive him. He was not in the mood to deal with these demonic forces in Xue Prefecture.

Recruiting troops and accumulating strength, anyone with discerning eyes could see that Liangshan had big plans. If Chen Yuan got involved with them, it would affect his future.

At least there could be no connection on the surface. As for Du Ming, if he was really reported and exposed, he could just abandon his official position, but Chen Yuan couldn't.

He had not yet grown to the point where he could ignore everything. The safest thing was to accumulate strength by using the imperial court's banner.

There was a lot of traffic in Tangshan Prefecture City. The two of them were not conspicuous as they walked among the crowd. Du Ming casually praised:

"Brother Chen has wiped out those Jianghu forces, which is a great thing for the people of Tangshan."

"There's not much we can do. These people are pitiful and don't have much to exploit. We can't get much benefit from exploiting them too much, and we'll still get a bad name."

This was Chen Yuan's true thought.

"Yes."

Du Ming sighed. He had also come from a poor background and knew the suffering of the people at the bottom. It was fine in normal times, but in the event of a famine, selling children and daughters,

And eating each other's children was also a common occurrence.

As he spoke, Du Ming pointed to a scene not far away where a beggar was taking out a bun and exchanging it for something:

"For them, food is currency."

The drought in Qing Prefecture had not completely passed, and most of the people's lives were still very difficult. It was true that Tangshan Prefecture had a lot of resources, but it had nothing to do with those people.

"Using buns as currency..." Chen Yuan shook his head and just mumbled a few words when he suddenly froze.

Bun Coin?

Chen Yuan: "....."

The thought was very dangerous. He quickly dismissed the idea. He was the dignified Green Envoy of the Sky Survey Department in Tangshan, a peerless genius in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List, and he had always been at odds with gambling and drugs, okay?

Huang Tian could testify to this!

But then again, in comparison, he preferred the kind that used butterflies as currency. Chen Yanshu was like that. (Well, please enter the full booking group for criticism).

The two were walking leisurely when Du Ming stopped and pointed to the crowd gathered in front and smiled:

"Brother Chen, the storytellers in Tangshan Prefecture have been supporting themselves on you these days."

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and stepped forward.

The storyteller surrounded by dozens of people was an old man with gray hair and a vigorous voice, without the slightest appearance of being hunched over. He clapped the gavel and said loudly:

"Speaking of the divine dragon, descending to the nine heavens, today I, the old man, will talk about our Tangshan Green Envoy, the handsome Chen Yuan."

After the opening remarks, the crowd immediately stared at the storyteller intently.

He spoke eloquently and endlessly about Chen Yuan's deeds.

He spoke in detail about how he went to Tangshan alone and took orders to suppress the Jianghu. In his mouth, Chen Yuan became a great light and righteousness, a blue sky for the people, and eliminated evil and promoted good.

Fighting the Kitchen Knife Gang, killing Song Jingang...

In just half a month, he cleared up the chaos in Tangshan Prefecture. Although what he said was basically in line with the facts and had prototypes, it was still very fantastical.

Not only did he add some love scenes for Chen Yuan, but he also arranged a bizarre background for him, saying that he was the Dragon God from the Nine Heavens, so when he fought against people, there would be dragon roars.

And the scene when he fought against people was even more horrifying, described as an apocalyptic war. What waving his hand, the ground shook, and a small mountain was shattered by him, etc...

But these things were very popular, and the people below listened with relish.

Many of them only knew that martial artists were very powerful, but they didn't know how to divide them, so they could only rely on their imagination, so it wasn't abrupt at all.

Among the onlookers was Chen Yuan, who realized after listening that he was already so powerful?

One punch could shake thousands of miles...

It was too horrifying. It should be known that the entire territory of Qing Prefecture was only thousands of miles away, which meant that Chen Yuan's fight would shake the entire Qing Prefecture.

Du Ming couldn't help but smile and whispered:

"Brother Chen is really... known to everyone now."

Moreover, most of them were positive reputations, and only in the mouths of some Jianghu martial artists were they negative images.

With another clap of the gavel, the old storyteller said indifferently:

"It's getting late today, so let's stop here. Tomorrow, we'll talk in detail about how Green Envoy Chen opened the sky with a sword and killed demons. Those who have money, please give money. Those who have people, please give people."

After he finished speaking, a little boy with a bun beside him stepped forward with a basket in his hand.

'Clang clang clang...'

The sound of copper coins falling rang out. The old man squeezed out a smile on his face and thought to himself, as expected, he could only make money by talking about Chen Yuan these days.

Just as he was thinking, a ten-tael silver ingot fell directly in front of the storyteller's table. The old man looked up and happened to see Chen Yuan and Du Ming turning to leave. He hurriedly said:

"Thank you, two sirs."

"Well said, continue next time."

Chen Yuan didn't turn around, leaving everyone with a back view. Although the storyteller was making money by蹭陈渊's popularity, what he said was indeed good, and Chen Yuan, as the person involved, was very satisfied.

He thought to himself that if he was really as powerful as he said, he wouldn't still be just a Green Envoy.

After staying in Tangshan Prefecture for a few more days, Chen Yuan's cultivation had completely reached the peak of the Heavenly Origin Realm, and he could not improve any further. At the same time, there was no movement from the No Birth Sect.

Chen Yuan relaxed a little and prepared to leave Tangshan Prefecture for a while.

This time he wasn't doing anything else, but to complete another task that Jiang He had arranged for him before, to smash the place!

After staying in Tangshan Prefecture for so long, the time for the Dao Discussion Conference was approaching.

In fact, Chen Yuan had even heard about it in Tangshan Prefecture.

The person who held this Profound Connection martial artist Dao Discussion Conference was named Zhao Hao, who was twenty-six years old, and had a late-stage Profound Connection cultivation. He had a great reputation in the area near Shu Prefecture.

Although he was a rogue cultivator, he had someone behind him to protect him. The Righteous Hall he established had an excellent reputation, and many people had received his kindness. Therefore, Zhao Hao's conference had invited a lot of people.

In addition to those talented disciples from aristocratic families and sects, there were also many powerful figures who had established forces, and their hands had even reached Tangshan Prefecture. When Chen Yuan was exterminating the Kitchen Knife Gang, he found an invitation card from his home.

Obviously, he had invited Zheng Yongzhi to attend the conference.

However, he never invited Chen Yuan from beginning to end. He guessed that he also knew that Jiang He was behind him, and Zhao Hao had a blood feud with him.

From Jiang He's mouth, Chen Yuan learned that if it hadn't been for a strong man from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect with whom he had some friendship to stop him, he would have sent someone to destroy this kid long ago to eliminate future troubles.

Chen Yuan didn't know the real grudges, but looking at Jiang He's merciless appearance, the grudges they had formed must have been great.

Chen Yuan didn't care about anything else. He only knew that Jiang He had done him a favor, helped him a lot, and there were also interests involved, so he had no psychological burden to smash the place.

This time, Chen Yuan didn't bring many people to Shu Prefecture, only three in total. They were still the old guys, Yue Shan, Mo Donghe, and Yan Qing. He was used to using these people.

As for the Four Ghosts of Yunjiang, he didn't bring them. They all had their own responsibilities now.

The place where Zhao Hao held the Dao Discussion Conference was in Guangling Prefecture, Shu Prefecture, which wasn't very far from Tangshan Prefecture. It only took a few days for Chen Yuan and his party to reach their destination.

They weren't moving fast, and Chen Yuan wasn't in a hurry. He was observing the geographical customs of Shu Prefecture and how they were different from what was recorded in the classics.

They were generally the same. The only difference was that there weren't many descriptions of Shu Mountain in the classics, but after entering Shu Prefecture, he realized how famous Shu Mountain was.

It could even rival the imperial court!

In the hearts of the people of Shu Prefecture, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect was a sacred place of martial arts and a sacred place for sword cultivators. Every native of Shu Prefecture dreamed of becoming a disciple of Shu Mountain, either themselves or their children.

Unfortunately, the number of disciples Shu Mountain recruited was very limited, and only those with superior talent could cultivate in Shu Mountain. However, this also gave other forces a chance to breathe.

Otherwise, everyone would want to become a disciple of Shu Mountain, a white-robed sword immortal.

Besides these, there was one more thing that people in Shu Prefecture mentioned from time to time, and that was 'evil demons'. This thing was relatively secretive in Qing Prefecture, and you wouldn't know about it unless you had a certain status.

But it was completely different in Shu Prefecture because Shu Prefecture already belonged to the south and was adjacent to Southern Prefecture. And another name for Southern Prefecture was Southern Border.

Since ancient times, Southern Border had been synonymous with demonic troubles. Here, real evil demons haunted the area. To this end, the imperial court also stationed hundreds of thousands of troops here to guard the border and prevent demonic troubles.

It was just that in the past hundred years, there had been very few major disturbances by demons, which made many people in other prefectures unfamiliar with 'demons'. However, Southern Prefecture, Xue Prefecture, and Shu Prefecture were different.

In these three prefectures, the matter of demonic troubles was mentioned from time to time.

And in addition to being famous all over the world for its swordsmanship and being revered as a holy land, Shu Mountain was also known for something else, and that was Shu Mountain's Demon Suppression Tower. It was said that it suppressed many great demons inside. If they were released, Shu Prefecture would definitely be in chaos...

Listening to these rumors, Chen Yuan compared them with the information he knew and finally gained some understanding of Shu Prefecture.

Chen Yuan's estimation of the time was just right. The day he arrived in Guangling Prefecture City with his people was exactly the time when Zhao Hao held the Dao Discussion Conference.

The location was placed on the Guangling River outside Guangling City, with many people watching the fun along the bank, which could be said to have given Zhao Hao a lot of face.

He spent a lot of money to build a large ship on the Guangling River, just to make friends. He had seen a sentence in an ancient book and thought it was very reasonable. He wanted to make as many friends as possible and have as few enemies as possible.

That's how he saw it, and that's how he did it.

Standing in the center of the deck of the large ship, Zhao Hao wore a blue robe and a bun, with a sword hanging from his waist. His demeanor was very extraordinary. Looking at the Jianghu martial artists gathered on the shore, he felt extremely happy in his heart.

These were all his connections. He just didn't know how many people would be willing to help him when he avenged that man in the future.

After all, that man was too strong, and there was a world of difference between him and Zhao Hao. He didn't even dare to restore his real name and could only use his mother's surname, just for fear that the other party would not keep his promise.

And with that man's strength, even that senior could not stop him now, and even advised him to let go of the grudges. But was that possible?

He had been living in hatred since he was a child. It was a spirit in his heart that could not be broken. If it was broken, he would have no hope of becoming a Grandmaster in this life.

Sorry for being late today, I'll write two hundred more.

Also, please calm down, brothers who want to send blades in the group. This is really not illegal!

The author will work hard to update it.
