Tang Qian walked back and forth in front of Xu Lingtian with his hands behind his back, then suddenly turned his head to look at him and said:

"Adding all these things together, isn't it similar to the thief Brother Lingtian mentioned?"

Xu Lingtian waved his hand:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Brother Tang, I know your killing intent towards Chen Yuan, but have you ever thought about what Chen Yuan's strength is, and what that person's strength is? Chen Yuan's cultivation is extraordinary, but he is only at the Tiangang level."

"But that thief is someone who can exchange blows with the old headmaster!"

"Although I am eager to kill the thief, I will not become a knife in Brother Tang's hand."

Xu Lingtian was a little dissatisfied in his heart. At this time, Tang Qian still wanted to use him as a knife. If he really attacked Chen Yuan, it would inevitably lead to a complete break.

How could he free up his hands to investigate that person?

Tang Qian didn't understand the preciousness of the dragon vein energy, but he knew that as long as he retrieved the dragon vein stolen by the thief, he might be able to go one step further.

The old headmaster would also have a chance to break through to the Dan Realm.

It could be said that the dragon vein concerned the future of the Dragon Tiger Sect!

That was why he was so distressed.

Most of his troubles were about how to retrieve those dragon energies.

Tang Qian's expression remained unchanged, and he slowly walked to Xu Lingtian:

"What is Chen Yuan's strength... Hehe, Brother Xu, are you as clear as I am?"

Xu Lingtian: "What do you mean?"

Tang Qian's face turned cold:

"Didn't Brother Xu ask me before why I didn't attack Chen Yuan after getting the black invitation? Did you know why I didn't answer you at that time?"

"Why?"

"Because I have already burned the black invitation and issued an assassination mission under the Seven Kill Hall. They sent a silver-level assassin, but the assassination process failed and he died at Chen Yuan's hands."

Tang Qian clenched his fists under his sleeves.

"Silver-level assassin!"

Xu Lingtian's eyes narrowed, filled with disbelief. As someone who had cooperated with the Seven Kill Hall, he knew very well what a silver-level assassin meant.

Only assassins in the Tongxuan realm could be awarded a silver badge.

Each one was extremely strong.

"That's right... That's why I previously offered conditions that were very unfavorable to my Azure Flood Dragon Society, just to kill Chen Yuan. If this son is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles."

"Brother Tang... are you telling the truth?"

"Do you think I would hide this from you on this matter?"

Tang Qian continued:

"When the matter of the battle at the Dragon Tiger Sect came out before, I sent people to understand some of the situation, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong. In the entire Nanling Prefecture and even the entire Qingzhou,

The only person with the strength and mindset to dare to kill through the Dragon Tiger Sect is this person!"

Xu Lingtian was still in shock and hadn't recovered. He never imagined that Chen Yuan actually had such terrifying strength, capable of counter-killing a silver-level assassin from the Seven Kill Hall.

Thinking about it this way, he did have the strength to escape from the old headmaster's hands.

This son... is truly terrifying!

Giving Xu Lingtian a moment to recover and think, Tang Qian said:

"What do you think, Brother Xu?"

"If what Brother Tang said is true, then I am 70% certain that the thief is Chen Yuan."

"Yes, so what are you going to do, Brother Xu?"

"This person is not easy to kill..."

After knowing Chen Yuan's strength, Xu Lingtian's brows never relaxed. Not to mention his strength comparable to a Tongxuan martial artist, his position in the Sky Patrol Division alone made it difficult to kill him.

Tang Qian's conditions were very tempting before, but he still resisted, just because he didn't want to become an enemy of the imperial court because of this.

"It's not easy to kill, but we have to kill him. This son's growth rate is too fast. At this rate, if we give him some more time, I'm afraid even you and I joining hands won't be his match."

Seeing Xu Lingtian's rebuttal, Tang Qian said in a low voice: "Don't think I'm exaggerating, Brother Xu. This person's growth trajectory is indeed strange.

In just half a year, he has reached such a state. If we dare to give him another half a year, do you think what I said will not come true?"

"Furthermore, with this person's temperament, he has formed a feud with the Dragon Tiger Sect this time, and he will definitely not let it go in the future. In addition to the treasures he stole from the Dragon Tiger Sect... Hehe..."

Xu Lingtian's eyes drooped, containing a hint of killing intent. The person did make a ruthless remark before, saying that he would destroy the Dragon Tiger Sect. According to his temperament...

Wait,

Suddenly, Xu Lingtian's eyes narrowed, thinking of Chen Yuan taking away the dragon vein energy.

He wants to break through to Tongxuan!

Xu Lingtian's thoughts turned, thinking of this possibility. Chen Yuan's growth rate was too terrifying. Upon closer inspection, he did seem to have reached the peak of the Tiangang Realm.

Tang Qian didn't know that his last words really hit Xu Lingtian's heart.

"What are Brother Tang's plans? It's not wise to attack directly..." Xu Lingtian's thoughts turned.

"Don't worry, Brother Xu. Naturally, it's not okay to attack directly, but if we have a handle on Chen Yuan, even the Sky Patrol Division won't be able to say anything.

Or, our two forces can join forces to invite the top silver-level assassin from the Seven Kill Hall."

Tang Qian said in a low voice.

"Invite an assassin from the Seven Kill Hall..." Xu Lingtian's eyes flickered. This was not a good choice. He was still coveting the treasure in Chen Yuan's hand that could mobilize dragon energy.

If he was killed, wouldn't it mean that it would fall into the hands of the Seven Kill Hall assassin for nothing?

That won't do!

However, Xu Lingtian would not be so straightforward. Instead, he used another way to ask:

"What price do we need to pay to invite an assassin from the Seven Kill Hall?"

"The condition they offered me last time was thirty Essence Crystals. The Seven Kill Hall will use the top silver-level assassin in the hall to ensure foolproof results."

"The price is too high."

Xu Lingtian waved his hand directly.

What was the concept of thirty Essence Crystals?

The entire Dragon Tiger Sect's storage was only about ten, and they couldn't afford this price at all.

Tang Qian smiled. He didn't want to pay so many Essence Crystals either, and then said:

"The price is indeed expensive, so the most suitable thing for you and me is to do it ourselves. No matter how strong Chen Yuan is, he can't fight two people alone."

"Chen Yuan is not alone."

Xu Lingtian reminded.

"We are not fighting alone either."

"Hmm? Brother Tang, if you have any plans, don't hide them. At this time, we should cooperate sincerely."

Tang Qian pointed in a direction:

"Golden Mountain Temple. Brother Xu, do you still remember the matter of the abandoned disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect challenging Chen Yuan a few months ago?"

"Of course I remember this."

That time was very dangerous. Although Xu Lingtian was not there in person, he could feel how dangerous it was at that time from the information he received. Several Tongxuan martial artists almost started a war.

This was something that hadn't happened for several years.

"The Golden Mountain Temple also has conflicts with Chen Yuan, which lies in the body refining technique he possesses, which is suspected to be the rumored Vajra Glazed Body of the Buddhist body refining divine art.

I have to say, although Chen Yuan's strength and potential are unparalleled, his speed of offending people is no less than his speed of cultivation. As long as the Golden Mountain Temple is willing to take action,

The pressure on the Sky Patrol Division can be relieved by more than half."

Xu Lingtian didn't know what to say in his heart. Not to mention Chen Yuan's grievances with other forces, just in terms of the Golden Mountain Temple, it seemed that they coveted Chen Yuan's technique...

However, he didn't say anything and continued to listen to Tang Qian:

"The strength of the Golden Mountain Temple can be called the best in Nanling Prefecture, and the most important thing is that the Golden Mountain Temple is not as simple as imagined. I have investigated, and it seems that the Golden Mountain Temple has not had any outstanding geniuses since its establishment, but it is still powerful.

Doesn't Brother Xu find it strange?"

"What do you mean?"

"I guess the Golden Mountain Temple should be related to a certain major Buddhist force. The disciples with strong talents are all sent to the top, and they will also send strong people to support the Golden Mountain Temple."

"The arrogant attitude of the Golden Mountain Temple may also be brought to him by that Buddhist force!"

"Brother Tang, if the Golden Mountain Temple really has a top Buddhist force involved, why would he covet the Buddhist technique on Chen Yuan?"

Tang Qian frowned:

"This is also where my doubts lie. Perhaps... it is right to have connections, but they are not as close as imagined."

"Brother Tang, just say your plan..."

Tang Qian smiled and said:

"My plan is actually very simple, as long as......"

......

......

Chen Residence.

Yue Shan came to the outside of the secret room where Chen Yuan was cultivating in a hurry and knocked a few times.

As long as they didn't see Chen Yuan's figure, there was no need to guess. The master must be in cultivation. This was already everyone's consensus. They also admired Chen Yuan's perseverance.

Most of the time every day was spent in hard cultivation, without the slightest bit of romance.

No wonder Chen Yuan could advance so quickly.

Envious?

It was exchanged for time!

'Squeak...'

Chen Yuan opened the door and glanced at Yue Shan:

"What's the matter with the panic?"

"My lord, people from the Dragon Tiger Sect are here."

"So fast, where are they?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes. He didn't expect the other party to come so quickly. It was really beyond his expectations. He was originally thinking of taking action himself first,

I didn't expect them to be so impatient...

Interesting!

Since they want to die so quickly, then fulfill them!

Chen Yuan pursed his lips, with a sneer on his face.

His cultivation has been completely stabilized, and he now really wants to fight.

Kill all the enemies in front of him.

"They are currently in the Sky Patrol Hall."

"Let's go!"

Chen Yuan chuckled. The Dragon Tiger Sect's plan was quite interesting. Instead of coming to his door, they went directly to the Sky Patrol Division. They really thought they were something.

After receiving the news, Chen Yuan didn't hesitate, wearing a black cloud robe, a Yanling saber at his waist, and dragon scales protecting his body. He directly led Yue Shan and others to the Sky Patrol Hall with a fierce aura.

After enduring for so long, Chen Yuan himself couldn't bear it anymore.

In that case,

The first one to be cut down is the Dragon Tiger Sect!

At this moment, in the Sky Patrol Hall of the Sky Patrol Division.

Tao Qingyuan's expression was calm, and his eyes slowly swept over Xu Lingtian and Xu Yongnian with a slightly condensed gaze. He frowned imperceptibly and thought:

"The old thing named Xu is not dead yet, really like a turtle."

When he first took office as the Nanling Azure Envoy, he had dealt with Xu Yongnian a lot.

As for Xu Lingtian, he came to power later.

He was considered a junior in front of him.

However, Xu Yongnian's strength still made him quite afraid. If the two fought, the outcome would be unknown.

"Brother Xu, what exactly is the reason for your visit? You should reveal it."

Tao Qingyuan's eyes swept over the two.

There is no going to the Three Treasures Hall without a cause. These two people are probably not kind.

Yue Shan notified Chen Yuan not because Tao Qingyuan instructed him, but because he was a little flustered in his heart and felt that people from the Dragon Tiger Sect had come to his door.

"Can't this old man visit Lord Tao if he has nothing to do?" After exchanging glances with Xu Lingtian, Xu Yongnian stroked his gray beard and smiled.

"I am naturally happy that Brother Xu can come."

"Haha, Lord Tao is being polite. When you first came to Nanling Prefecture, this old man dealt with you a lot. The friendship between you and me can be considered deep.

That's not it. As soon as I left the retreat, this old man couldn't wait to come and bother you."

Xu Yongnian laughed and couldn't see the angry look he had before.

Tao Qingyuan sneered in his heart. When he first came to Nanling Prefecture, he had secretly competed with Xu Yongnian several times. At that time, Tao Qingyuan was in his prime,

There was no injury on his body, and he could be described as high-spirited.

He wanted to clean up the Jianghu forces in Nanling Prefecture and greatly increase the power of the imperial court. Naturally, he had conflicts with Xu Yongnian. For this reason, the Dragon Tiger Sect and the Sky Patrol Division had killed many people in private.

The other party also fought him in the name of sparring.

In that battle, Tao Qingyuan only barely supported himself, but he showed signs of defeat in a moment.

Xu Yongnian was also clever and knew the principle of going too far. He claimed that the two were tied, but only the two of them knew the truth.

It was also that battle that brought the dispute of the Dragon Tiger Sect to an end.

But Tao Qingyuan had been holding his breath in his heart. It was a pity that the Dragon Tiger Sect had successors, and even if he used some other means, he did not let the Dragon Tiger Sect decline.

Instead, Xu Lingtian, such a hero, appeared.

"Yes, Brother Xu dealt with me a lot at that time." Tao Qingyuan's face didn't move, and he snorted softly. Then, his eyes flickered, and he changed the subject and said:

"I heard a few days ago that something happened to the Dragon Tiger Sect. I don't know what it is?"

The old guy Xu Yongnian choked him with words, and Tao Qingyuan naturally would not be polite, and deliberately sprinkled salt on the wounds of the two.

The news that day shook the entire Nanling Prefecture. How could the Sky Patrol Division not know with their abilities?

As expected, as soon as Tao Qingyuan finished speaking, Xu Lingtian and Xu Yongnian couldn't hold their faces, and a flash of anger flashed on their faces. Xu Lingtian then said:

"That matter is indeed a shame for my Dragon Tiger Sect. It was killed through by a thief, and many disciples of my Dragon Tiger Sect were lost. It is a calamity for my Dragon Tiger Sect."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" A look of regret flashed on Tao Qingyuan's face:

"Has that thief been caught?"

"Not yet."

"Then..."

Xu Lingtian said softly:

"Lord Tao, to be honest, this time I came here hoping that the imperial court can uphold justice for the Dragon Tiger Sect."

"This..." Tao Qingyuan hesitated to refuse:

"The Dragon Tiger Sect is a sect under the rule of the imperial court. It stands to reason that the imperial court should indeed uphold justice, but the Sky Patrol Division has been busy with tasks recently, and I am afraid that it will not be able to help.

It made the two of you come for nothing."
