"Sir, is it really necessary to send pickles?"

Yue Shan was a bit depressed. He only brought so few pickles this time, and Chen Yuan gave them all away, talking about being content and happy...

What does this have to do with pickles?

"Hehe... Since we're here, we naturally have to send something..." Chen Yuan smiled, not telling the truth. The purpose of sending pickles was actually a code for the Yunshan Four Ghosts.

To tell them, he was about to make his move!

He wouldn't play any jokes like that.

Yue Shan glanced at Chen Yuan, seemingly saying that he was quite particular about etiquette, but....

What are you planning to send?

Thinking, Yue Shan looked at the red wooden coffin behind Chen Yuan.

This was something Chen Yuan specifically ordered him to buy in Qinghe County after arriving yesterday, and it cost a lot of silver.

"Let's go, wishing Master Ren 'promotion' and wealth!"

Chen Yuan lifted the coffin with one hand, and then pushed it out with force. The red coffin broke through the air and slammed straight into the Ren family compound.

Inside the hall, Ren Changyi, who was hesitating whether to exchange Black Jade Paste with Xu Baisong, frowned when he heard the doorman's shout.

Who sends pickles as a gift?

He has so many pickles in his old pit that he can't finish them all.

The guests in the hall also had different expressions, revealing a hint of curiosity. This... didn't seem like someone sending birthday gifts.

Chu Yunfeng narrowed his eyes and pondered. Wang Ping... he seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.

Ren Changyi instructed the guard beside him:

"Go and see what's outside..."

However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard another low shout, exploding above the Ren family:

"The Sky Survey Division, wishing Master Ren promotion and wealth!"

"Boom!"

The red coffin smashed the stage in the courtyard directly, standing upright on the ground.

The guests in the courtyard panicked and hurriedly pushed aside.

Sending a coffin to a birthday banquet...

This was definitely a deliberate provocation.

Ren Changyi's face darkened when he heard these words. He walked directly out of the hall, followed closely by a group of guests, all wanting to see what had happened.

Chen Yuan borrowed strength in the void and landed steadily on the coffin, flicking his sleeves and maintaining a calm expression.

Ren Changyi sized up Chen Yuan, his heart shaken. Black Cloud robes, Yanling saber, this was... the Sky Survey Division coming to his door!

Before he could ask a question, more than a dozen figures in black robes leapt onto the roof, and a group of Sky Survey Guards firmly guarded the several gates of the Ren family compound.

And they were completely unprepared.

"Master Ren, do you like the birthday gift I sent?" Chen Yuan sized up the gray-haired old man in front of him.

"I wonder what crime the Ren family has committed, to trouble the Sky Survey Division to come to our door."

Ren Changyi asked in a deep voice.

Behind him, a group of Ren family warriors drew their swords, their faces vigilant.

"What crime you've committed, you know in your own heart, why ask such a question?"

"This is... Brother Wang?"

Chu Yunfeng's face was filled with shock.

"Do you know this Sky Surveyor?"

Xu Baisong frowned, hearing Chu Yunfeng's murmur.

"I know him, before..."

Chu Yunfeng told the previous events without any concealment.

"Observe first, don't act rashly."

"This disciple understands."

"This old man really doesn't know."

"Hehe... Killing government officials without authorization, secretly colluding between officials and merchants to oppress the people, today is the Ren family's day of reckoning!"

"Arrogant!"

Ren Changyi shouted in a low voice.

"May I ask this official's name? If there is evidence, feel free to show it. If not, we will not sit idly by and watch the government oppress good people!" A young man in white said in a condensed voice.

"That's right, Senior Ren is one of the few experts in the martial world willing to guide the younger generation. How can the imperial court slander him?"

Several figures stood up.

They had all received guidance from Ren Changyi before. If they didn't stand up now, how could they continue to operate in the martial world in the future?

Those who operate in the martial world value righteousness!

"How dare you make noise when the Sky Survey Division is handling matters!"

A hint of killing intent flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

"What about the Sky Survey Division, you..."

Before that person could finish speaking, Chen Yuan borrowed strength from his feet and leapt into the air, grabbing the hilt of his saber and drawing it suddenly.

"Swish!"

That person's heart trembled, and he quickly raised his saber to block.

But the gap between them was too great. In addition, Chen Yuan's blade was mixed with many precious materials. Therefore, with just a single contact, the saber in that person's hand shattered.

The Yanling saber pierced directly into his flesh, blood splattering, half of his body being severed.

One strike, killing a man!

Killing a warrior at the Naqi level.

Inside the Ren family compound, there was silence under this strike, obviously shocked by Chen Yuan's strength and decisive attitude. And this was one of Chen Yuan's goals.

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, taking action suddenly before everyone could react.

In this way, he could eliminate more trouble.

After a moment, everyone reacted, drawing their weapons and looking at Chen Yuan vigilantly.

"Is it not even allowed to speak in the imperial court? Brother Liu just said a word, and you directly took action. Is this the law of the imperial court?"

Someone asked with a look of shock and anger.

"I suspect that he is in collusion with the Wusheng Sect, so I took action. What's the problem? Sky Surveyors can act first and report later. If you say another word,

I'm afraid I'll have to suspect you too."

Chen Yuan smiled, looking at the person who spoke.

"You..."

That person's tone faltered, wanting to say something to embolden himself, but he couldn't say it, very afraid of Chen Yuan's methods.

"This official must be the newly appointed Sky Surveyor Chen Yuan, right?"

The monk Xuan Nu, who was watching the battle from the side, sized up Chen Yuan and suddenly said.

There were only a few Sky Surveyors in the entire Nanling Prefecture, and he had seen them all. Only this person was unfamiliar, either he had just become a Sky Surveyor recently, or he was a Sky Surveyor from another prefecture.

However, it was too rare to handle cases across regions. Ren Changyi had not committed a major crime of treason, so it was almost impossible for someone from another prefecture to take action.

"Master is..."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"This monk is from Jinshan Temple, Xuan Nu!"

Monk Xuan Nu had a calm expression, but there was a sense of arrogance in his words.

Of course, this was understandable. Jinshan Temple's strength was indeed in a league of its own in Nanling Prefecture. Since the Western Buddhist Sect entered the Central Plains more than two hundred years ago,

The Buddhist forces have begun to grow rapidly.

"So it's a master from Jinshan Temple..." Chen Yuan nodded.

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't react much, Xuan Nu's brows twitched slightly:

"Master Chen, today is the 70th birthday of benefactor Ren. Is it a bit too inhumane for the Sky Survey Division to take action at this time?"

"They all say that the Buddhist sect compassionately saves the world. Then does the master know how Ren Changyi manipulated prices and collected silver in Qinghe County, forcing many innocent people to death? At that time...

Why didn't the masters from Jinshan Temple say anything about being inhumane?"

Chen Yuan directly retorted.

"This monk only saw what was happening before my eyes..."

Xuan Nu's expression remained unchanged.

"Hehe..."

Chen Yuan sneered.

"Master Chen is exaggerating, right? How could this official not know about Ren family manipulating prices? The people of Qinghe County are living and working in peace, there is no such thing as what Master Chen said."

A middle-aged man in official uniform stepped forward and said.

"Who are you?"

"This official is the Qinghe County Magistrate, Wu Sanhu!"

"Get out of the way, how dare you obstruct the Sky Survey Division from handling a case? Today, this official will kill you!" Chen Yuan glared at him coldly.

"You... presumptuous."

Wu Sanhu's face flushed red.

He was a dignified seventh-rank County Magistrate, one of the top figures in Qinghe County, but today he was scolded to get out of the way. It was simply... something that had never happened before.

"Hm?"

Chen Yuan slightly raised the scabbard in his hand.

Wu Sanhu took a deep breath and remained silent.

Seeing that the people around him were actually frightened by Chen Yuan alone, Ren Changyi's eyes turned cold:

"Master Chen, are you determined to take action?"

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a burst of fireworks exploded in the backyard of the Ren family.

The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth curled up. As expected... when he appeared, the Ren family had already prepared manpower to retreat. Fortunately, he had prepared early and ordered the Yunshan Four Ghosts to capture the Ren family's direct descendants at the first moment he sent the signal.

This was the signal they gave.

"I've brought all the people here, do you think I'll give up?" Chen Yuan sneered. He slightly unsheathed the long saber in his hand. Yue Shan and others who came with him drew their sabers and jumped down from the roof.

Approaching the Ren family's people step by step.

Waiting for Chen Yuan's order, they would take action!

Ren Changyi smiled, took out a palm-sized red box from his arms, wrapped in yellow cloth. He unwrapped the yellow cloth and opened the box.

Revealing a thumb-sized, irregular golden stone inside, he raised it high:

"This is what you have all come for, Geng Jin. Now, this old man doesn't want to exchange for any spiritual objects to repair meridians anymore. As long as this Sky Surveyor Chen is killed,

Ren will give this item to him!"

The people around stared at Geng Jin, their eyes burning, but hearing Ren Changyi's words, they were still hesitant. Killing a Sky Surveyor without authorization was a crime of confiscation and extermination.

Was it worth it for Geng Jin?

Seeing that the people around him did not respond, Ren Changyi said again:

"Kill Chen Yuan and escape from Qingzhou. Does the imperial court still bother to hunt you down? In addition to Geng Jin, Ren will also send a thousand taels of silver."

The people around were somewhat moved.

Soon, two people stood out, facing Chen Yuan:

"The government's handling of affairs is unfair, today I will kill you, this imperial hound!"

"Senior Ren once gave me guidance a few years ago, today is the time to repay his kindness!"

Chen Yuan sized up the two of them. They were probably single martial artists with nothing to lose. People from powerful sects and clans would not be willing to take action in full view of the public.

If there were not so many people watching, perhaps more people would come out.

However, he was not afraid.

Two Naqi warriors were all he needed to kill!

"Heh, don't talk any more nonsense, you can come at me together, Chen Yuan is not afraid of anything!"

After saying this, Chen Yuan gave an order and directly drew his saber to attack. Yue Shan and the others also did not hesitate, drawing their sabers and slashing.

Ren Changyi took a deep breath, knowing that Chen Yuan's displayed methods were not good. He stuffed a cyan-green pill into his mouth, and the blood all over his body surged.

He punched Chen Yuan!
