Ding Ding Little Stone

Chapter 317 Return to Ping An Again!

"Senior Moro's slumber intervals are getting longer and longer," the gentle-voiced woman sighed.

The heavily built man said, "It must be the influence of the cultivation technique."

"We need to speed up our preparations, otherwise, the longer it's delayed, the greater the impact on Senior Moro," Jiang He said calmly.

"This cannot be rushed."

Su Ziyue said in a deep voice.

"Alright, let's end here for today. I have some matters to attend to within my sect. Seven Emotions Dao Lord, continue investigating Chen Yuan's background.

Even if his identity is strange, we must investigate thoroughly."

"Okay, rest assured."

"Also, Chen Yuan's safety will temporarily be entrusted to the Heavenly Sword Dao Lord. This person is so suitable for that cultivation technique; if there are no accidents, he should be the next Dao Lord.

We should support him somewhat."

"Mm."

Jiang He replied, closing the Heavenly Book.

He watched the few spiritual fish swimming below, his eyes deep, contemplating something.

......

......

Chen Yuan was unaware of Jiang He's connection with the Dao God Palace, nor could he guess it. He was already preparing to leave. Fortunately, the people he had arranged for were staying at the inn,

so leaving was not as troublesome as he had imagined.

It is worth mentioning that within the Azure Province Patrol Division, Yue Shan and Zhao Beishan had both safely condensed their Killing Qi and officially stepped into the Coagulation Realm.

The two of them could be considered the highest in cultivation among Chen Yuan's subordinates.

Although they were not of much help to him at the moment, it was not their fault. After all, no one expected Chen Yuan's cultivation to improve so quickly.

Relatively speaking, their rate of improvement was already considered rapid.

With Yue Shan's age and strength, he could actually be on the Hidden Dragon List, but he had no achievements to spread.

Everyone was somewhat prepared for the sudden departure, as Chen Yuan had mentioned it to them before, so they had no other thoughts about it.

They were even happy for Chen Yuan.

After all, being directly promoted to Azure Envoy was not an easy thing.

Chen Yuan's growth was ultimately too rapid. Although he had experienced many things, only a few could be counted as meritorious deeds, which were not enough to support him in becoming a Patrol Azure Envoy.

Now that he was suddenly promoted, how could they not be surprised?

There were also some speculations about the relationship between Chen Yuan and Golden Envoy Jiang He....

Without staying at the inn for too long, Chen Yuan and his group checked out and left. Few people knew of his departure, and many were probably still waiting for Chen Yuan to show up.

It was hard to imagine that he was just passing through Azure Province, with no intention of developing here....

Leaving the inner city, the group purchased several fine steeds and led them directly to the East Gate of Azure Province, returning from where they came.

At the city gate, a group of swordsmen dressed in uniform cyan robes poured in from the East Gate. Xiao Qingmu, with a calm expression, was surrounded by the crowd. As the daughter of the Sect Leader,

her status naturally attracted flattery from everyone.

This time, the Sword Debate was prepared for Xiao Qingmu, inviting young talents who used swords from around Azure Province.

If Gu Hao had not died, some disciples who coveted Xiao Qingmu would not have dared to do so, fearing offending Gu Hao, but now that he was dead!

Not only was he dead, but his father, Gu Chun, was also dead, so what were they afraid of?

Marrying Xiao Qingmu was enough to reduce decades of struggle, and even have a chance to glimpse the position of Sect Master. Who wouldn't be tempted?

"Junior Sister Xiao, this time, Senior Brother has prepared many novelties for you to relieve your sadness, said to be from overseas," a man in his late thirties walked up to Xiao Qingmu and said with a light smile.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Wu."

Xiao Qingmu squeezed out a smile.

She originally didn't want to come this time, but she couldn't refuse the sincere invitation of several Senior Brothers. She planned to make an appearance and then announce her seclusion again in a few days.

As for avenging Senior Brother Gu?

With her current cultivation, she would be courting death. Her father had already warned her that Chen Yuan was not to be provoked for the time being, otherwise even the Azure Cloud Sword Sect would incur the great trouble of Jiang He.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, as long as Junior Sister Xiao is happy," Senior Brother Wu smiled calmly, his temperament somewhat aloof.

"Senior Sister Xiao, this..."

Chen Yuan glanced at Xiao Qingmu and looked away, without any expression. He had also considered the grievances with the Azure Cloud Sword Sect. Now was not the time for revenge.

Because he was relying on Jiang He's power, in reality, facing the Azure Cloud Sword Sect was like hitting a stone with an egg. Therefore, he had to suppress this thought for now.

As for Xiao Qingmu, Chen Yuan had no thoughts about her. He was just a little strange. Maybe he was a bit of a nemesis to her, otherwise, how could her two lovers die in his hands?

During the few days in Azure Province, Chen Yuan had also inquired from some people that the previous Liu Changkong seemed to have some affection for Xiao Qingmu.

And before, in Jiuyuan Prefecture, Xiao Qingmu was also very close to Gu Hao....

Who exactly cheated on whom, this... Chen Yuan thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it. Waste without even Destiny was not worth his attention.

The Azure Cloud Sword Sect disciples who followed Xiao Qingmu were also wastes without Destiny, which made him a little disappointed. He almost thought that Destiny was coming to him again.

It turned out that he was thinking too much.

Riding fast, Chen Yuan and his group brushed past Xiao Qingmu and her entourage. Seeing the Patrol Division's black cloud uniforms, no one dared to offend them, and they all made way.

Several Azure Cloud Sword Sect disciples mocked the court's lackeys in low voices.

Recently, because of the Patrol Division, the Azure Cloud Sword Sect's reputation had been greatly damaged. The entire Azure Cloud Sword Sect disciples began to be hostile to the court. However, they only dared to mutter a few words; they wouldn't dare to step forward and rebuke them.

Since Golden Envoy Jiang He took office, the Patrol Division's prestige had greatly increased. Many Jianghu martial artists who dared to provoke the Patrol Division had their heads hung in front of the gate.

"These court lackeys, I wonder what oppression of the people they are going to do again. If I had the strength, I would storm the Patrol Division's gate and plead for the people."

Seeing Xiao Qingmu's stunned expression, Senior Brother Wu thought that she was reminded of Gu Hao's matter, and quickly said a few words.

"Senior Brother Wu, let's go."

Xiao Qingmu smiled and looked away, not answering.

The reason why she was stunned just now was because she felt that the leading man in the black cloud uniform had a familiar feeling, as if she had seen him somewhere.

But she didn't seem to know anyone in the court in Azure Province.

Except for that... Chen Yuan, who killed Senior Brother Gu and Junior Brother Liu.

After thinking about it, she felt that she was probably overthinking it. Maybe it was because she had been thinking about avenging them these days, so she thought that anyone wearing black cloud uniforms was him.

......

......

After leaving Azure Province City, Chen Yuan and his group suddenly accelerated. With the help of the fine steeds, they could travel several hundred miles a day.

In just a few days, they arrived within the range of Jiuyuan Prefecture. However, he did not intend to look for Huang Yi, but quietly passed through Jiuyuan Prefecture,

and then headed south all the way towards Nanling Prefecture.

This time, lasting nearly a month, he gained a lot. The first was his cultivation, successfully breaking through the Heavenly Essence Realm, and then he also took a big step forward in his physical body realm.

His strength had increased dramatically.

At the same time, he also obtained some other things, such as the transparent armor he obtained from Daoist Hua Yuan, which was now worn by Chen Yuan after cleaning.

Its defensive capabilities had increased a lot.

In addition, he had killed his enemies, Gu Hao and his son, which could be considered as settling a matter of the heart. However, it was also because of this that he had successfully formed grudges with two top forces.

Azure Cloud Sword Sect and Guangming Temple!

If Jiang He didn't protect him, the consequences would be unimaginable....

After passing through Jiuyuan Prefecture, Chen Yuan's speed slowed down a lot. The main reason for the previous high speed was that he was worried that the Azure Cloud Sword Sect and Guangming Temple would not act according to martial ethics and attack him.

Although Jiang He had warned them in advance, who could guarantee that they would not attack in secret?

Necessary precautions were still needed.

However, it seemed that Jiang He's deterrence was indeed very effective. He traveled quickly all the way and was very safe, and did not encounter any cliché plots of someone provoking him.

Chen Yuan returned to a state of hard cultivation, practicing almost continuously for twelve hours a day, practicing while traveling, practicing while sleeping, all the time was spent in cultivation.

His cultivation was increasing very rapidly, and he felt that it wouldn't be long before he reached the peak of the Heavenly Essence Realm.

Of course, as a price, the consumption rate of the Yuan Crystals in his hand was also very alarming. He had now used nearly three....

Cultivation relies on resources, and this is absolutely true. Without the massive consumption of Yuan Crystals, Chen Yuan would not have made such progress. Nearly half of the meridians in his body had been opened.

After about ten more days, Chen Yuan finally returned to Nanling Prefecture after stopping and going. The time it took was about the same as when he went from Nanling Prefecture to Jiuyuan Prefecture.

He did not go to catch up with Huang Yi, but Zhang Xuan was different. This old superior who promoted him, now a 'friend', Chen Yuan met with him in secret.

He briefly explained his mission this time.

The result was that Zhang Xuan was a little curious about him, asking why Jiang He valued him so much, and even personally rescued him before, not hesitating to kill an elder of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.

To this, Chen Yuan casually fabricated a lie, which Zhang Xuan did not expose, but only told him to be careful in his actions, and not to let his guard down even when facing Jiang He.

There is no unprovoked importance; the other party must have some intention.

Chen Yuan nodded to indicate that he understood.

Later, Zhang Xuan mentioned the previous incident, saying that the news from Jiuyuan Prefecture had been delayed when it reached Zhang Xuan's ears, otherwise he would have gone to help.

He also told Chen Yuan that if he provoked a Core Realm Grandmaster again, he should not take risks, but return to Nanling Prefecture.

Here, with him protecting him, no one would dare to move him!

There was no way, his father was a Patrol Division Divine Envoy, he had this confidence!
