The extermination of the Bei family was surprisingly peaceful, with hardly any unexpected events. Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion, and before long, Mo Donghe and the others had finished the battle.

After sweeping away all the Bei family's movable wealth, Chen Yuan took half, and the remaining half was divided among the others.

Decades as vice gang leader had accumulated a vast fortune for Bei Haisheng, with no shortage of cultivation pills and the like at home. This time, Chen Yuan had made a small fortune.

Of course, he himself had been through several exterminations and was not poor. He was not particularly lacking in pills either. With the Blood Fiend Saber, Chen Yuan essentially had a stable and inexhaustible source of cultivation.

Before leaving the Bei residence, Chen Yuan set a fire.

There was a reason why killing, arson, and extermination were often grouped together.

What followed was uneventful, proceeding according to the original plan. Bei Haisheng's death was attributed to the Azure Flood Dragon Society, enraging the Chang Le Gang.

Most of the Azure Flood Dragon Society were also dumbfounded. When had they made a move?

Later, it was speculated that the gang leader had ordered the action, which seemed quite reasonable.

Tang Qian, who learned of this later, did not say anything about slander. He directly took responsibility for the matter, claiming that Bei Haisheng was killed at his command in retaliation against the Chang Le Gang.

Since they had already torn off all pretenses of civility, admitting it would help boost the morale of the gang members.

The Chang Le Gang's counterattack previously, with Lin Beihan being torn apart, had instilled fear in many. Tang Qian had been worrying about how to respond, but he didn't expect them to deliver an opportunity to him.

Who killed Bei Haisheng, was that important?

In any case, all three parties got what they wanted.

The Azure Flood Dragon Society wanted morale, Shi Yunlong wanted to eliminate Bei Haisheng as an unstable factor and offer a token of allegiance, and Chen Yuan did not want any future troubles, so he sought to eliminate the threat entirely!

Only Bei Haisheng was a bit tragic, his son died, and he had to die as well.

Of course, their deaths were not considered a pity, and some even felt it was satisfying.

Bei Le had done too many outrageous things over the years, and countless people had hoped for his death. Had it not been for the consideration of Bei Haisheng's reaction, such a person would have been killed long ago.

After Bei Le's death, Nanling Prefecture suddenly became quiet.

The Chang Le Gang and the Azure Flood Dragon Society glared at each other, but at the same time, they did not dare to continue fighting. Jinshan Temple remained calm, with almost no action other than investigating Xuan Ci's death.

Chen Yuan himself even began to suspect, did they not want the body refinement technique in his hands?

That shouldn't be...

If they really didn't want it, why were they so aggressive before, almost to the point of fighting?

Later, Chen Yuan came to his senses a bit. The people of Jinshan Temple should be considering the impact, letting the previous events fade away a bit, and then making a surprise move.

At that time, although it might still be suspected that Jinshan Temple had made the move, the Patrol Envoy Division would not have conclusive evidence, and Tao Qingyuan would not have the courage to search Jinshan Temple.

Hmm... it must be so!

Chen Yuan, a patient in the late stage of persecutory delusions, thought to himself.

Therefore, feeling that the future was still very dangerous, Chen Yuan devoted all his time to cultivation.

For more than half a month, Chen Yuan was in diligent cultivation.

The fiendish aura in his body was constantly increasing. Whenever his physical body reached its limit, Chen Yuan would practice saber techniques and movement techniques. The Intermittent Killing Dao saber technique, Chen Yuan had been pondering, since he used it before, Chen Yuan wanted to make it very common, so that he could use it at any time.

It could be considered one of his very strong means.

Daily body refinement was essential. The fiendish aura within the Blood Fiend Saber was like seawater, and Chen Yuan's physical body was the container. How strong he could explode depended entirely on the strength of his physical body.

The stronger the physical body, the more fiendish aura Chen Yuan could accommodate, and at the same time, his strength would be stronger.

Then... there was the movement technique.

The 'Wind Riding' movement technique that Tao Qingyuan gave him had now become increasingly proficient, greatly increasing Chen Yuan's speed.

The feeling of slowly improving his strength every moment made Chen Yuan feel very good.

In half a month, Yue Shan had emerged from seclusion, successfully breaking through to the Coagulating Core Realm, drawing Qi into the body, and was about to become a new Patrol Envoy. However, he still had to complete some tasks.

Chen Yuan had tried to find Tao Qingyuan, but the answer he received was no. He was already an exception, and Yue Shan could not continue like this, otherwise it would set a bad precedent for the future.

Of course, Tao Qingyuan had not failed to take care of him, arranging tasks that were within his capabilities.

Yang Feng and Yan Qing, who were under Chen Yuan's command, were transferred to Yue Shan's command, filling out his strength.

Only Mo Donghe and a group of people who were close to him were left behind, and then a new batch of Patrol Guards were transferred to his command.

In fact, Zhang Xuan's intended successor was Yue Shan, but Chen Yuan had preempted him. Now that he had just broken through, it was time to complete tasks, and Chen Yuan would naturally not hold him back.

If he could help, he would.

As for Mo Donghe, he didn't get along well with Yue Shan. There was already a subtle sense of competition between them, and Mo Donghe felt awkward to be under his command.

He took the initiative to find Chen Yuan, hoping not to be transferred away.

To this, Chen Yuan agreed. He also needed some capable people under his command.

Although Yue Shan had broken through, there was no change in his attitude towards Chen Yuan. Their relationship was still very good, and he still respected Chen Yuan as before, treating him as his superior.

Chen Yuan had advised him, but unfortunately, Yue Shan just smiled naively and continued his own way.

Although he looked a bit simple, he was actually not stupid at all, and even very shrewd. He could see that Chen Yuan had a very good future and exceptional talent.

In the future, he was very likely to become the Azure Envoy of the Patrol Envoy Division of Nanling Prefecture, and he vaguely wanted to cling to his coattails.

However, even if this reason was removed, their relationship was still very good.

Half a month was very short, but also very long. In addition to Yue Shan, there was another person who successfully broke through. This person was Shen Yanshu!

With the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body, after Chen Yuan took the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body away, her cultivation speed began to soar. After a period of adjustment, the breakthrough was almost uneventful and natural.

After the breakthrough, Shen Yanshu also found Chen Yuan, and the two simply celebrated it, congratulating her on her breakthrough and officially entering the middle level of experts in Nanling Prefecture.

Only now did Shen Yanshu feel that they were equal. Although Chen Yuan's strength was much stronger than hers, at least they were already martial artists of the same level.

Moreover, once the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body began to absorb Qi, the cultivation speed would definitely increase several times compared to before.

If the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body had not been taken away, her cultivation would have improved faster.

Perhaps it would have directly saved countless time and directly reached the peak level of Qi Absorption.

Of course, Shen Yanshu did not regret it. Chen Yuan helped her solve the trouble, which was the reward she paid. Without Chen Yuan, she might have already married that scoundrel, and her life would have become dim from then on.

Her dream of pursuing martial arts would be shattered.

Shen Yanshu intended to befriend him, and Chen Yuan would not put on airs. It was also good to have a Coagulating Core Realm martial artist, so the two conducted an in-depth exchange in the small dark room.

Hmm....

It was just to deepen the relationship between friends, and by the way, talk about the Jianghu situation in Nanling Prefecture.

After all, what bad intentions could Lord Chen have?

In addition to these, there was another matter about Chen Yuan.

But this matter did not cause too much of a stir.

After the news of Chen Yuan killing Lin Beihan was spread, Ye Chenbai of Dengxian Tower began to have people investigate the truth. After confirmation, it was indeed true.

Then...

Chen Yuan's ranking on the Hidden Dragon List was raised a bit, not by a large margin, but definitely not small.

Ranking 237th on the Hidden Dragon List.

This matter was not small, but not as high as expected, because Chen Yuan had too many famous events during this time, and in comparison, it was not so important.

Most importantly, many people felt that he was hiding his strength, and it was not surprising that he was on this ranking.

Even if he suddenly entered the top 200, it would not be surprising.

The higher the ranking, the more Tao Qingyuan valued Chen Yuan, and he would often be summoned to the Patrol Envoy Hall to give some pointers on the difficulties of cultivation.

Chen Yuan was happy to do so.

Being guided by an expert who was a major realm higher was something that many martial artists could only dream of.

Nie Qiyun became even more jealous after hearing about this, but he was still helpless.

Chen Yuan simply ignored him. If he provoked him, he would really draw his saber.

After more than half a month of hard cultivation, the fiendish aura vortex in Chen Yuan's body was already more than half full, which was faster than he had expected. At this rate of cultivation, Chen Yuan had reason to suspect that he might reach the peak of fiendish aura in at most a month. At that calculation, the Celestial Gang Realm was promising!

When he realized that his cultivation was becoming more and more profound, Chen Yuan wondered when his next Son of Destiny would arrive.

According to previous inferences, even if he did not take the initiative to look for them, two people with destiny would meet in various ways. Therefore, Chen Yuan was not too anxious.

What was meant to come would come. Chen Yuan was just looking forward to what the next destiny would be.

Hopefully it was related to cultivation.

Techniques, martial arts, and secret arts were good, but what Chen Yuan wanted most was higher cultivation and strength. As long as the realm went up, everything would be easy to say. Even if he just slashed out a saber randomly, the power that erupted would not be comparable to before.

......

......

Nanling Prefecture, on a passenger ship on the Yun River.

An old man with an immortal demeanor closed his eyes and exhaled. A long, white silk-like stream spewed out of his mouth. From a distance, he really looked like an immortal breathing.

It would look even more like it if there were no several four-to-five-foot-tall boys serving him.

There were a total of four boys, wearing clothes of various colors, with no hair, some with bluish faces, some with reddish faces, with various mysterious patterns on their bodies, and pairs of eyes that were somewhat bloodthirsty and irritable.

But under the old man's gaze, they could only tremble and prostrate themselves on the ground, as if afraid of offending the old man.
