Of course, he had to personally deliver the final blow.

Because he wasn't sure if the destiny would be absorbed by him if the person wasn't killed by his own hand.

He might try it later.

He might even have two people with destiny fight each other to see if the change in destiny could be enhanced...

"A fugitive?"

Yue Shan and Yang Feng exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled.

Wasn't it Liu Changkong who came to challenge him? How did it suddenly involve a fugitive?

What was going on?

Seeing their confused looks, Chen Yuan explained:

"This person is the fugitive in the next mission you and I are going to carry out. He slaughtered the entire Cao County yamen. How could I, as an envoy, accept a challenge from such a heinous villain?"

"I was wondering how to find him, but since he's willingly offering himself up to die, I can't be blamed!"

Yue Shan and the others nodded in realization.

"I see. This guy is really courting death!"

They were a little excited. This was a reward delivered to their doorstep, and they didn't need to worry about chasing him down.

"Pass down my order, summon the Sky Patrol Guards under my command to the north of the city!"

Chen Yuan waved his embroidered robe and said in a low voice.

"Your subordinate obeys!"

After instructing Yue Shan and the others, Chen Yuan immediately left the public office and found Tao Qingyuan. Only he could truly mobilize the power of the Sky Patrol Division.

He wasn't embarrassed. If it were an ambush or assassination, Chen Yuan would take it upon himself. But now, Liu Changkong was clearly coming to die.

Tao Qingyuan, who seemed to have already received the news, looked at Chen Yuan with a playful expression:

"Someone outside is challenging you. Why aren't you accepting the challenge and instead running to me? The Qingyun Sword Sect disciple's strength is not bad. Be careful when you deal with him.

Remember, don't disgrace the reputation of our Sky Patrol Division in public!"

Chen Yuan cupped his fist and said:

"Reporting to my lord, this time... this subordinate really can't make a move?"

"Oh?"

Tao Qingyuan didn't waste any words, but just looked at Chen Yuan.

"Because the person challenging me is the same murderer who slaughtered the Cao County yamen that you ordered me to hunt down!"

Chen Yuan's words were astonishing, and Tao Qingyuan raised an eyebrow:

"Is this true?"

He was a little incredulous. What kind of fugitive would willingly seek death?

"This subordinate would never dare to deceive my lord. In fact, this person came to challenge me for revenge. Before, in Ping'an..." Then, Chen Yuan briefly explained the previous grudges.

Anyway, it was about the Liu family colluding with the Wusheng Sect demons to kill the Ping'an County Sheriff, and then Lu Yang ordering him to lead people to destroy the Liu family, and so on.

"So that's how it is."

Tao Qingyuan nodded, then stood up:

"If that's the case, then there's no need to talk about Jianghu morality. Let's go... let's see what kind of ability this guy has to dare to provoke us!"

His tone was a little cold, and a powerful aura surrounded him. He immediately ordered several Sky Patrol Envoys and the Sky Patrol Guards under his command to move out together,

Vowing to kill this evil creature to uphold official integrity!

......

......

North of the city.

On a high platform, Liu Changkong sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and breathed, bringing his state to its peak, completely ignoring the noisy sounds below.

Thousands of people were talking and arguing, like a market.

But their attention was all on Liu Changkong on the high platform.

"Who is this person? How dare he challenge Envoy Chen? Is he courting death?"

Some were indignant. Since Chen Yuan killed Bei Le in public, his popularity among the people had greatly increased, and many people felt that he was a good official, which made Chen Yuan a little ashamed.

Although he had never oppressed the people, he was definitely not a good official who pleaded for the people.

"That's right, that's right... Doesn't he know that Envoy Chen is a talent on the Hidden Dragon List?"

"What is the Hidden Dragon List?"

"The Hidden Dragon List is one of the three famous..." someone explained.

"Oh, then that means this kid wants to get on the list."

Someone realized.

"You don't know anything. I've heard of Liu Changkong. He was said to be a young talent before. If he hadn't disappeared, he might have been able to get on the Hidden Dragon List..."

Below the platform, countless people were talking, but none of them affected Liu Changkong's mood, and he didn't say anything to defend himself.

"Miss, why hasn't that Envoy Chen arrived yet?"

Xiao Yu looked around, very curious.

"Don't talk, just watch quietly." Shen Yanshu said in a low voice, but her eyes were examining the people in uniform.

Green Flood Dragon Society, Chang Le Gang, Qingmu Sect, Zhao Family, Dragon Tiger Gate...

Most of the famous forces in Nanling Prefecture had sent people to watch this great battle.

In addition, she also saw Bei Haisheng's calm face. When Shen Yanshu arrived, he glanced at her, but didn't say much.

As for their implicit engagement, it was naturally invalidated after Bei Le's death.

"What do you think of their chances of winning?"

Ye Chenbai stood on a rooftop and asked the old servant beside him.

"Since Liu Changkong dares to challenge Chen Yuan, he must know his strength, so he probably thinks he has a good chance of winning..."

"Liu Changkong came this time with the determination to kill. The Liu family of Cao County was destroyed by Chen Yuan before. This is really an interesting fight."

"Qingyun Sword Sect... hehe."

"Why hasn't Chen Yuan arrived yet? Is he afraid?"

"That's right, that's right..."

"I think Chen Yuan is afraid and doesn't dare to accept the challenge."

Under Bei Haisheng's instructions, a group of Chang Le Gang disciples mingled in the crowd, starting the conversation...

Soon, it turned into a big discussion.

Of course, there were those who belittled Chen Yuan, and naturally there were those who praised him.

"Envoy Chen is afraid? He even dared to kill that bastard Bei Le, so why would he be afraid of an unknown little pawn? I guess Envoy Chen just doesn't bother to accept the challenge."

"This guy is no match for Envoy Chen at all."

"That's right, that's right..."

Upon hearing this, Bei Haisheng's face instantly turned dark.

"Gang Leader, should I go and teach them a lesson?"

A Chang Le Gang member next to Bei Haisheng saw his dark face and said in a low voice.

"A bunch of lowly people, no need to bother with them."

Bei Haisheng waved his hand.

If he were to quarrel with a group of people over a few words, he would really lose face.

Soon, while the crowd was talking, teams of Sky Patrol Guards came from all directions, holding Yanling Sabers, and surrounded the crowd so that not a drop of water could get through.

These people were silent, and no one dared to move without orders.

"The people from the Sky Patrol Division are here!"

Someone exclaimed, and there was some commotion in the crowd. They quickly moved to the side, making way.

Sky Patrol Envoys Lu Yang, Nie Qiyun, and others arrived, staring at Liu Shuanghe on the high platform.

Tao Qingyuan flew through the air, looking down at Liu Shuanghe with his hands behind his back:

"You audacious villain, how dare you provoke the majesty of the Sky Patrol Division."

Liu Shuanghe glanced at Tao Qingyuan, feeling great pressure:

"Where is Chen Yuan?"

"I am here!"

A low shout sounded, and Chen Yuan came from a rooftop in the distance, leaping several times, tumbling several times in the void, and landed steadily on the high platform.

He opened his eyes, and a faint azure light flashed.

Liu Shuanghe, as expected, possessed destiny!

He was right. Even if he didn't actively look for it, people with destiny would meet him in various ways!

He couldn't help but marvel that a small Liu family actually had two people with destiny. If it weren't for him, perhaps the Liu family could really rise in just a dozen years.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs...

"You are Chen Yuan."

Liu Changkong stared at the enemy who killed his father, and a trace of killing intent escaped from his body.

"Yes."

Chen Yuan nodded expressionlessly.

"Very good, this day next year will be your death date..."

Chen Yuan's mouth curled up in a disdainful smile. He glanced at Tao Qingyuan in the void, then turned his gaze back:

"Audacious Liu Changkong, having committed a capital crime, you still dare to speak so arrogantly. This day next year will be your death date!"

"Do it!"

Tao Qingyuan didn't say much. With a low shout, several Sky Patrol Envoys jumped onto the high platform, glaring at Liu Changkong, but Liu Changkong didn't show any fear, and his expression was normal.

The scene was silent. The people below were a little confused. Weren't they here for a challenge? Why were the people from the Sky Patrol Division all attacking together? And... what did he mean by fugitive?

Was Liu Changkong guilty?

"Hold on!"

A faint voice sounded, and the sound of a sword rang out from the sky, steadily inserted in front of Lu Yang and the others on the high platform. Gu Hao, in a green robe, stepped through the void, walking step by step in front of everyone.

"Who are you?"

Tao Qingyuan frowned, secretly thinking, as expected...

Liu Changkong dared to challenge him because he had someone backing him.

"Qingyun Sword Sect, Gu Hao!"

"Gu Hao..." Tao Qingyuan's heart was shocked. He had obviously heard of this name, knowing that he was a talent among the top 100 on the Hidden Dragon List, on the same level as Zhang Xuan.

The only difference was that he had already broken through the Tongxuan realm, making him a tricky fellow.

As soon as Gu Hao's name came out, some knowledgeable people in the audience began to talk about it.

"Gu Hao from the Hidden Dragon List?"

"It's actually him."

"This time, there's a good show to watch."

Tao Qingyuan: "Are you going to stop the imperial court from handling affairs?"

"The imperial court should handle affairs naturally, but Liu Changkong is a Qingyun disciple. Even if he has been expelled from the sect, he is still my junior brother. I, Gu, cannot stand by and watch such things as bullying the weak and the few."

Gu Hao said coldly.

"Liu Changkong has committed a capital crime and should be punished. How can there be any talk of bullying the weak?"

"Chen Yuan and Junior Brother Liu are martial artists in the same realm, and he has a feud for killing his father and destroying his family. Since he is here to seek revenge, I should protect him."

"What if I insist on taking action?"

"Then... Gu will have to compete with Envoy Tao. It is said that Envoy Tao is extraordinarily strong, but he has rarely taken action in recent years. Gu also wants to try Envoy Qing's skills!"

Gu Hao spread out one hand, and the long sword on the high platform rang, flying into Gu Hao's hand.

"Hehe, good, then I will try you, a talent who has made it onto the Hidden Dragon List, and see what abilities the Qingyun Sword Sect has to dare to take action against the imperial court!"

Tao Qingyuan snorted coldly, and the aura around him began to rise.
