The man in the green shirt arrived in his familiar hometown, seemingly letting down his guard and exhaling a long breath. It was truly not easy to escape that hellish place!

Before him was the bustling gate of Cao County, with two large characters inscribed above.

"Cao County!"

And he was Liu Shuanghe's eldest son, Liu Changzhi's and Liu Ruoqing's older brother, Liu Changkong, a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.

Previously, rumors had spread that he was missing and dead...

But the truth was different. While exploring a secret realm, he had accidentally fallen into a trap. All his fellow disciples with him had died, leaving him to struggle alone.

Fortunately, with a strong will to survive, Liu Changkong had successfully survived, and even... successfully advanced to the凝煞 (Níng Shā) Realm, his strength soaring!

After surviving, Liu Changkong's first thought was not to return to the sword sect, but to see his father and siblings to ease his longing.

Thinking of this, he smiled. Although his younger sister Ruoqing was mischievous, she was quite afraid of him, her older brother. And his younger brother Changzhi, although not born of the same mother,

their bond was equally strong.

And his father, Liu Shuanghe. This time, he had brought back many cultivation pills, enough for him to take another step forward. He would even guide his father to a Yin Sha (阴煞) location.

The rise of the Liu family would begin here!

Oh...

And the beautiful Second Mother, Wu...

A nostalgic smile appeared on Liu Changkong's lips. Back then, Second Mother had remarried his father, and after giving birth to his younger sister Ruoqing, she had been somewhat harsh towards him and his brother.

But after he achieved success in cultivation, he taught her a lesson with force, which resolved many grievances.

Seeing him again, she would always be humble and flattering.

That kind of ethical feeling was irresistible to him.

His father was well aware of all this, but simply turned a blind eye. Compared to Wu, his exceptionally talented eldest son was obviously more important.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Changkong entered Cao County with a normal expression.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene, Liu Changkong now felt as if those years in that desperate situation had passed like a lifetime. He walked and stopped, and soon arrived at a stall.

"Aunt Wang, a few steamed buns, please."

Liu Changkong called out softly.

The middle-aged woman who was busy responded and quickly picked up a few buns, placed them in a basket, and handed them over, smiling:

"Here you are, sir. Enjoy your meal."

"Sir? Aunt Wang, don't you remember me?" Liu Changkong said with a smile.

The woman paused, carefully examining the young man in front of her. Suddenly, her pupils shrank:

"You... you are... Young Master Liu!"

She said in shock.

"That's right. It's only been a year or so, you wouldn't have forgotten me already, would you?" Liu Changkong teased.

"No... no."

The woman stammered.

But she was still shocked. Everyone in Cao County knew that the Liu family's eldest son was dead, and even the Liu family had been wiped out. Seeing him again now was incredibly shocking.

Although Liu Changkong was a little strange about the woman's fear, he didn't think too much about it. He simply assumed that becoming a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect made these people feel the gap in status.

After finishing his meal, Liu Changkong put down the silver.

But the woman kept staring at his back, and only came back to her senses when her husband approached.

"Who is it? What are you staring at?"

"It's... it's Liu Changkong."

"Who?"

"Liu Changkong, the eldest son of the Liu family!"

Leaving the stall, Liu Changkong quickly arrived near the Liu family's residence. For some reason, the closer he got, the more uneasy he felt.

Unconsciously, he quickened his pace.

When he saw the seal on the Liu family's gate, Liu Changkong froze completely, his face filled with disbelief. He shattered the door with a palm strike and rushed in.

But the Liu family's courtyard, untended for over a month, was now overgrown with weeds and deserted.

Liu Changkong tremblingly pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and saw the messy ancestral tablets inside. Tears welled up in his eyes, and a wave of sorrow surged into his heart.

"Ah!!!"

Liu Changkong roared in a low voice, his eyes turning red.

After staying in the Liu family's residence for a while, Liu Changkong jumped into the yard next to the Liu family's. Under threat, he heard from the neighbors what had happened after his disappearance.

Several major families in Cao County joined forces with the county sheriff and magistrate to coerce the Liu family. The Liu family gave up their interests, but still could not satisfy their appetites, and were suppressed.

Later, Liu Ruoqing and Liu Changzhi were arrested in Ping An County...

After that, the Liu family was exterminated, and Liu Ruoqing and Liu Changzhi died in Ping An County.

Liu Changkong muttered Chen Yuan's name, his eyes filled with endless killing intent.

That day, the swordsman in green Liu Changkong challenged several families in Cao County, causing a bloodbath.

No one survived in the Cao County government office!

......

......

Nanling Prefecture City.

On the other hand, Chen Yuan's side was not miserable at all, but rather very comfortable and leisurely. Bei Haisheng did not stir up trouble in a short period of time, and it was unknown what he was brewing.

However, Chen Yuan did not relax his vigilance, but instead had people track his whereabouts.

The hatred of losing a son and the hatred of killing a father are the same, and it is impossible to resolve this kind of hatred, and Chen Yuan did not intend to resolve it.

He did not listen to Liu Qingyuan's advice to stay honestly in the Sky Survey Department, but instead led people to patrol in Nanling Prefecture City, of course not to maintain law and order,

but to meet his Destiny's Child!

Nà Qì (纳气) Peak, the next step is to condense Shā Qì (煞气) into the body and break through to the next realm.

He believed that as long as he stepped into the Níng Shā (凝煞) level, his strength would definitely usher in a surge!

Because Níng Shā (凝煞) can greatly increase the strength of True Qi and use a new attack method, Shā Qì (煞气) release!

Between every move, it possesses powerful force.

It is also a watershed in the Níng Gāng (凝罡) realm.

Most of the geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List are above the Níng Shā (凝煞) realm, so they can show their strength.

Chen Yuan yearned for it, but unfortunately it was of no use....

He patrolled for a long time with his men, but could not find anyone who made his eyes light up.

However, when inspecting the north of the city, Chen Yuan encountered a not small trouble. Lin Beihan, the head of the Blood Kill Hall of the Azure Flood Dragon Society, met him unexpectedly.

Lin Beihan's face was cold, with some scars on his face. He was about thirty years old. The first thing he said when he saw Chen Yuan was:

"Inspector Chen has good methods."

Chen Yuan sized him up and did not find any Destiny from him, which was a little disappointing. He simply said:

"The Blood Kill Hall has good methods."

Chen Yuan had previously been intercepted and killed by the Blood Kill Hall, and had killed many of their people, including a deputy hall master. The feud was very big.

But all they knew was the interception that Yang Wanlou had entrusted earlier.

In that battle, the Blood Kill Hall lost several good players.

However, neither side revealed this matter, but the grudge was settled.

Yang Wanlou provided them with a lot of convenience for the Azure Flood Dragon Society. Later, being caught caused them a lot of trouble. They originally wanted to solve Chen Yuan's little trouble, but before they could do anything,

Chen Yuan was directly promoted to Sky Survey Envoy, and they could not move him lightly.

"I wonder if Inspector Chen has ever seen the Four Ghosts of Yunjiang?"

Lin Beihan's eyes were fixed on Chen Yuan's expression.

"What Four Ghosts of Yunjiang? Isn't Yunjiang your Azure Flood Dragon Society's territory?" Chen Yuan curled his lips, not giving Lin Beihan any face.

"Hehe... Inspector Chen, Lin has heard that someone saw the traces of the Four Ghosts of Yunjiang at Ren Changyi's birthday banquet in Qinghe County before, and they seemed to be listening to your orders."

"Is that so? I don't know, what does Hall Master Lin want?"

Chen Yuan did not give in an inch.

Behind him, Yue Shan and the others immediately looked at Lin Beihan and his party with swords drawn, as if they would take action as soon as Chen Yuan gave an order.

"Inspector Chen has a grudge against that old ghost Bei Haisheng, does he also want to form a feud with the Azure Flood Dragon Society? Listen to Lin's advice, call out the Four Ghosts of Yunjiang, and we will be safe and sound..."

Lin Beihan was unmoved and turned to threats.

Chen Yuan sneered and held the hilt of the knife at his waist:

"Dare to threaten an official of the imperial court, do you believe that I will chop off your head now and hang it in front of the Sky Survey Department?"

"Inspector Chen doesn't think that just because he has made it to the Hidden Dragon List, he can be arrogant, does he?"

"I have someone in my eyes, but it doesn't include Hall Master Lin. Stop chattering here with me, if you have the ability, then do it, if you don't, then get out of the way, lest you delay my business."

Lin Beihan has a high status in the Azure Flood Dragon Society, but his realm level is only Níng Shā (凝煞), and he has not yet entered the Heavenly Gāng (天罡). Chen Yuan is not afraid of such an opponent at all.

What is he working hard to cultivate martial arts for?

Isn't it just so that no one dares to look down on him with a condescending attitude?

Now he is working hard towards this direction!

"Young and vigorous is not a good thing, Inspector Chen must remember this sentence." Lin Beihan sneered, turned around and walked away with his men, and continued to patrol at the north pier of the city.

The moment he turned his head, Lin Beihan's eyes were full of gloom.

This time's encounter was because he couldn't hold back. The main thing was to test this guy, and many of his men died under his command.

The people below had long been unable to restrain themselves and hoped that Lin Beihan would avenge those who died.

However, his mind was still clear and he did not rashly take action against an official of the imperial court on the street.

As for the contact this time, Lin Beihan judged two things. First, Yu Wancheng and those people were 90% killed by this Chen Yuan. He had both the strength and the motive.

The people who appeared in Qinghe County before must be the Four Ghosts of Yunjiang.

The second is that Chen Yuan's character is unruly and seems to be impulsive, but he acts very carefully. His words even implied that he wanted him to make the first move.

Hehe... ridiculous!

If it were Zhang Xuan, it would be almost the same. A Chen Yuan... only just entered Nà Qì (纳气), but what capital does he have to be arrogant with a ranking of more than 300 on the Hidden Dragon List?

When there is a chance, he will definitely kill him!

"Sir..." Yue Shan took a step forward.

Chen Yuan raised his hand to stop him from speaking and his face turned calm:

"Let's go, continue patrolling."

Unconsciously, he had made quite a few enemies.

But he didn't care....

Jianghu people, Jianghu affairs, killing is always inevitable!
