As soon as the people from Jinshan Temple left, the matter was basically over. Tang Qian felt a little regretful that he didn't see Jinshan Temple fight with the imperial court.

No matter who won or lost at that time, the Azure Flood Dragon Society would be able to get a share of the spoils.

If Jinshan Temple was defeated, the resources they controlled would be eroded. If the imperial court was defeated, its reputation would be greatly damaged, which would be conducive to the development of the Azure Flood Dragon Society. Perhaps the imperial court would be angered and some powerful figures would take action.

In the end, Jinshan Temple would suffer a loss.

In short, it was a pity...

He looked at Tao Qingyuan and said:

"Envoy Tao Qing, Commandant Lü, since the matter is over, then I, Tang, will take my leave."

He directly ignored Chen Yuan.

Of course, this was also normal. Although Chen Yuan's current strength surprised him somewhat, there was still a huge gap between them. It could be said that the two were not on the same level at all.

If he were to specifically greet him, it would seem even more strange.

"Farewell, Chief Tang."

Tao Qingyuan had a livid face. He had remembered today's events. He would have plenty of opportunities to get back at them in the future. Azure Flood Dragon Society... Humph!

Faced with Tao Qingyuan's implicitly threatening tone, Tang Qian didn't take it to heart. If he were afraid of the imperial court, he wouldn't have helped Gu Hao. Then, he turned and left.

As soon as he left, the Azure Flood Dragon Society members present also began to disperse.

As for the people from the Chang Le Gang, they also left. Shi Yunlong came abruptly and disappeared just as abruptly. He had only come to watch the fun. Now that the fun was over, there was naturally no need to stay.

The common people also began to disperse slowly, but some people's faces were still filled with joy, and they were enthusiastically discussing the matter with the people around them. It could be predicted that today's events would spread to the outside world at a very fast speed.

Chen Yuan would once again become famous.

After all, he was the center of this event.

Jinshan Temple, Chang Le Gang, Sky Patrol Division, Military Preparation Army, Azure Flood Dragon Society, Azure Cloud Sword Sect...

Each of them was a well-known name, not to mention the appearance of several Tong Xuan Realm experts, who almost fought...

Shen Yanshu raised her head and glanced at Chen Yuan, without saying much, and left with Little Yu, who looked excited.

Ye Chenbai, who was watching the battle not far away, smiled. He had seen many such things and wasn't too surprised, but Chen Yuan's ranking on the Hidden Dragon List would be even higher this time.

Based on the strength and potential he had shown, it was enough to increase it by a large margin.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Lü Yuan didn't plan to stay any longer. He cupped his hands at Tao Qingyuan:

"Envoy Tao Qing, I have something else to attend to, so I won't disturb you."

"Thank you very much, Commandant Lü, for your help."

Tao Qingyuan had a solemn expression on his face. Regardless of what Lü Yuan was thinking, it was undeniable that he had helped him. Without him, Tao Qingyuan wouldn't have had the confidence to take action.

Their relationship before was just average, but they could interact more in the future.

The strength of the Military Preparation Army was by no means weaker than the Sky Patrol Division.

"Thank you, Commandant Lü."

Chen Yuan also quickly cupped his hands, with a look of gratitude on his face.

Lü Yuan had helped him this time, and he had remembered it. If he had the opportunity in the future, he would also lend a helping hand.

"Not bad, the young are to be feared."

Lü Yuan encouraged him with a few words, smiled, and turned to leave with the Military Preparation Army.

Although he hadn't brought the entire army, he had brought nearly a hundred elite soldiers.

After everyone had left, Tao Qingyuan looked at Chen Yuan and couldn't help but ask:

"Have you really cultivated Buddhist techniques?"

Chen Yuan didn't deny it and nodded:

"When I was in Ping An County, I was instructed by an old monk from Ci'en Temple. At that time, I was just a small constable..." Chen Yuan explained with a half-truth:

"But I definitely didn't cultivate any top-notch Buddhist body refinement divine art as Fa Nan said. It was just that the old monk combined the Golden Bell Shield with some Buddhist body refinement techniques to let me experiment."

"I didn't expect this technique to bring me so much help."

Chen Yuan had heard of some Golden Bell Shield techniques in the Jianghu and knew that some of their external appearances were similar to the Vajra Glazed Body, with light golden spots appearing on the body.

As long as it wasn't a close-range verification, Chen Yuan wasn't afraid of being exposed.

As for offering the Vajra Glazed Body to the imperial court, Chen Yuan didn't have that awareness. If they wanted it, they would have to come up with equivalent conditions in exchange, otherwise, forget it.

After listening, Tao Qingyuan nodded:

"It's good that you haven't cultivated Buddhist techniques."

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked in a low voice:

"Is there any hidden danger in cultivating Buddhist techniques?"

Tao Qingyuan put his hands behind his back and nodded, explaining to Chen Yuan:

"This matter is not a secret, but few people mention it now. I also heard it from Envoy Jin. More than two hundred years ago, when our Great Jin Dynasty was just established,

Due to some reasons, Western Region Buddhism began to spread in the Central Plains, but the top sects in the Central Plains Jianghu resisted deeply. Buddhism's initial progress can be said to be very difficult..."

Chen Yuan nodded. Buddhism was like a foreigner trying to take something. As long as it established itself in the Central Plains, it would definitely seize the interests of the Central Plains Taoist, Sword, and Demonic sects.

No one would give up their interests.

Conflicts were inevitable...

Wait, could this also be due to the imperial court?

Chen Yuan couldn't help but imagine that perhaps the imperial court was happy to see this, allowing Buddhism to fight with the Central Plains forces, and then reap the benefits.

Tao Qingyuan continued: "Later, a Buddhist monk came up with a new approach and proposed the idea of ​​disrupting the world with Buddhist techniques. After that, Buddhism began to implement it, spreading a large number of Buddhist techniques in the Central Plains..."

"At that time, the portals of each sect were very deep, and it was as difficult as ascending to the sky for loose cultivators to obtain a high-quality cultivation technique. Buddhism's plan was successful."

"In just one year, Buddhist techniques spread throughout the Central Plains. When other forces reacted, it was already too late."

Chen Yuan continued to listen. The hidden dangers of Buddhist techniques should be next.

"Those who practiced Buddhist techniques were easily converted to Buddhism due to their weak will, and Buddhism's power greatly increased, officially establishing itself in the Jianghu."

"Later, the imperial court and other forces joined forces to burn most of the Buddhist techniques that had been spread. That period is now called the 'Extinction of Buddhism and the Elimination of Scriptures'."

"Many Jianghu loose cultivators also reacted, realizing that practicing Buddhist techniques would unknowingly make them yearn for Buddhism and eventually become monks, so they cooperated very well."

"It's just a pity that it was ultimately too late..."

Tao Qingyuan sighed:

"To this day, Buddhism's power in the Central Plains is no weaker than any top sect in the Jianghu."

This could be considered a failure of the imperial court.

"Practicing Buddhist techniques will make one yearn for Buddhism, what about body refinement techniques?" Chen Yuan quickly asked.

What he was practicing was an authentic Buddhist body refinement divine art.

"Body refinement is fine, but if it is Qi refinement..." Tao Qingyuan shook his head.

Only then did Chen Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.

"If practicing Buddhist techniques leads to conversion, is there no one who can resist?"

If it was that terrifying, Buddhism would truly be difficult to guard against.

"Among those who can resist the power of Buddhist conversion, there is only one in a hundred. Each of them is a person with a firm mind. In fact, even now, some people use Buddhist techniques to temper their martial will, but unfortunately, there are too few successful people."

Chen Yuan nodded, understanding the power of Buddhism for the first time.

"However, Buddhist techniques are not without their merits. In addition to tempering the will, Buddhist body refinement techniques are still quite popular in the Jianghu. There are many in the Sky Patrol Division, but there is only one that can be called top-notch."

Tao Qingyuan told Chen Yuan many things about the Jianghu, broadening his horizons.

After a long time, Chen Yuan changed the topic and said:

"Thank you very much, sir, for this time."

Tao Qingyuan waved his hand:

"As a Sky Patrol Envoy, it is only right for me to stand up for you. As for the Azure Cloud Sword Sect, someone will deal with them..."

What a joke, could a discarded disciple status clear everything up?

Where would the imperial court be placed?

If someone followed suit in the future, wouldn't the imperial court be in chaos? Therefore, Tao Qingyuan had already made up his mind that since his ability was insufficient, he would report it!

Let the people above deal with it. Even if the Azure Cloud Sword Sect didn't pay the price, they would at least have to give up some benefits.

Also, the Azure Flood Dragon Society and Jinshan Temple, this debt would be remembered.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan was relieved. To be honest, Chen Yuan was inwardly dissatisfied that several Jianghu sects, especially those that couldn't be called top-notch Jianghu forces in Qingzhou, could be so rude to the imperial court.

He felt that the imperial court was too weak, especially the so-called discarded disciple theory, which was simply rubbing everyone's intelligence on the ground. If they didn't pay a price, the imperial court's prestige would be lost!

"You have made no small contribution today. I have noted it down, and there will be rewards in the future. Go back first..."

"Yes, sir!"

......

......

North of Nanling Prefecture City, above the Yun River, about thirty miles away from the prefecture city, Gu Hao was staying on a sailboat, and Liu Changkong's body was on the bow.

Looking at Liu Changkong's body, Gu Hao's mouth curled into a sneer, and he murmured to himself:

"Junior Brother Liu, you are finally dead!"

"Junior Sister Xiao is mine. How could you, a small county family's disciple, be able to touch her? You, you should have cultivated properly, why did you have to provoke Junior Sister Xiao?"

"Don't you know that Junior Sister Xiao is mine? Marrying her will get the support of the Sect Leader, and there is a great possibility of sitting on the position of the Sword Sect Master."

"You also deserve to compete with me? What are you!"

"I didn't expect that the Senior Brother has been fueling the flames when you were in danger. It's just that I didn't expect you to be able to come out alive. Your luck is pretty good."

"And the Liu family, do you think that the Cao County Yamen and several major families are aggressively eroding the Liu family's interests? They are all under my control behind the scenes, Junior Brother Liu!

Even Chen Yuan, whom you consider to be your enemy, is actually just a blood-stained knife, just a knife that is not in my plan.......

Speaking of which, I have to thank him for exterminating the Liu family, otherwise, how would it arouse your anger?

I know your character, an eye for an eye, blood for blood."
