Ding Ding Little Stone

Chapter 323 Do You Know Who I Am?

"Uh... uh..."

Shen Tao opened his mouth wide, but his throat could barely produce any sound. His eyes, however, were filled with resentful hatred.

Chen Yuan raised his hand, and a surge of tyrannical Gang Qi directly imprisoned Shen Tao. Yue Shan released his grip, and Shen Tao's figure floated in the void, like a kite being pulled by a string.

"Let this wretch serve as a warning to the world!"

As Chen Yuan's voice fell, he lightly clenched his right palm.

In the next moment, Shen Tao transformed directly into a cloud of blood mist, exploding in plain sight before everyone's eyes. Blood rained down, and severed limbs fell to the ground.

Shen Tao's death was Chen Yuan's declaration of officially stepping into Tangshan Prefecture.

He intended to break the deadlock, starting with the feud with Shen Yongzhi!

The situation in Tangshan Prefecture was actually not difficult to investigate. Based on the information obtained in Qingzhou City and what he had seen and heard along the way,

it could be preliminarily determined that Shen Yongzhi was definitely a key figure in Tangshan Prefecture.

His growth trajectory was also quite problematic. A person who single-handedly wielded two kitchen knives to carve a path through ten streets, a person who single-handedly overturned the Tangshan Jianghu, without batting an eye – leaving aside whether his eyes were dry or not, the government's reaction alone was very strange.

At that time, Shen Yongzhi's strength was not considered anything special. Why did he get away with killing so many people without any repercussions? Were the government's eyes blind?

Someone must have been protecting him from behind.

Just like Chen Yuan before, even if he killed Gu Hao, so what? Who could touch him? Gu Chun? Coming would only mean seeking death.

Therefore, Chen Yuan had some confidence that Shen Yongzhi might be related to the demons of the Lifeless Teaching!

Of course, this was just his guess. Even if there was no collusion, killing such an evildoer would better maintain his reputation.

The more ruthlessly he killed, the greater his prestige would become!

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!

He wanted to make the name of 'Killing God' resound from Nanling to Tangshan!

The crowd erupted in gasps of astonishment.

They looked in disbelief at the blood mist in the void.

It seemed they hadn't expected Chen Yuan to dare strike a fatal blow directly. After all, this was the Shen family's young master!

To these ordinary people, the Shen family was the most untouchable!

However, their eyes still held a hint of satisfaction and joy.

Even if they had no grudges against the Shen family, they were happy to see the government and the Shen family fighting like dogs. This was the thought of many people; the government was not a good thing in their eyes either.

"Stop! Who dares to touch Young Master Shen!"

Suddenly, a stern shout rang out. Not far away, teams of constables wearing yamen uniforms were rushing over.

The crowd fell silent, followed by panic, and they quickly cleared a path.

About thirty people arrived, all from the Lishui County Yamen's constable division.

Leading the way was a middle-aged man wearing a constable captain's uniform, with a rather fierce look on his face, thick lips, and wide eyes. Surrounded by several constables, he exuded a formidable aura.

He strode forward, his gaze sweeping over Chen Yuan and the others one by one, his expression calm. Yes, he didn't recognize the Xuntian Qing Envoy's official uniform.

He only knew that Chen Yuan was wearing a black cloud uniform, similar to the Xuntian Guards he had seen when he went to the prefectural city before.

Therefore, he didn't show any signs of respect.

In terms of power alone, a constable captain outranked a Xuntian Guard. Moreover, he now had the Shen family as a strong backer. What did a mere Xuntian Guard amount to?

His gaze swept over the blood on the ground with some suspicion, and he questioned Chen Yuan with a stern expression:

"Where is Young Master Shen?"

Chen Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to a small constable captain. Just like before, Yue Shan and Mo Donghe and others had been the ones taking action; their statuses were unequal, and the difference in strength was too great.

He wasn't worth Chen Yuan's personal attention.

Chen Yuan didn't answer. Instead, Mo Donghe stepped forward, a hint of impatience on his face. He pointed the Wild Goose Feather Saber at the blood on the ground:

"You're standing on it. Look for it slowly."

Hearing this, the constable captain was immediately enraged. He drew the long saber from his waist, and the dozens of constables behind him also unsheathed their weapons, their cold light gleaming.

"You dare to play with me?"

"Are you blind, you son of a b*tch? Who has time to play with you?"

Yue Shan roared.

The constable captain glanced coldly at Yue Shan, turned his head to look at the crowd, and scolded:

"Is what these bandits are saying true?"

The people dared not answer, fearing involvement in trouble.

However, when two constables placed their sabers on their necks, these people directly submitted and pointed to the blood on the ground, saying:

"Young... Young Master Shen has been killed. This... this is him."

Chen Yuan watched the constables' actions with cold eyes from in front of the inn, as if looking down from above, or as if mocking them.

Hearing the accurate answer, the Lishui County constable captain's face changed drastically. His right arm even trembled uncontrollably. He was too late.

It was over now!

This was the Shen family's young master, and he had died right in front of him. If the Shen family found out, how could he expect to get away with it? He had to break the situation as soon as possible and atone for his sins!

He immediately glared at Chen Yuan and scolded:

"You scoundrel! Young Master Shen is a future pillar of the court, bringing blessings to the people of our Lishui County. You... you dare to kill Young Master Shen without authorization! Do you know what crime you have committed?"

"You call a mere playboy a pillar of the court, and you say that oppressing the people is bringing them blessings. Are your eyes growing on a dog?

You, a constable captain, keep calling him Young Master Shen. Are you their family's dog?"

Chen Yuan moved, walking step by step towards the constable captain, uttering these words.

The constable captain looked at Chen Yuan approaching, and for some reason, he felt a great sense of fear, as if a fierce beast was walking towards him!

His body involuntarily took two steps back, but looking at the blood on the ground, he couldn't help but say:

"Impudence! How dare you insult this constable? A mere Xuntian Guard, you simply don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! Do you know who Young Master Shen is? In Lishui,

even if the Xuntian Inspector arrives, they have to treat him with respect. Are you courting death?"

"Stop where you are, surrender and be captured, and this constable might still give you a chance to live."

As the constable captain spoke, his footsteps retreated involuntarily.

As he retreated, the constables behind him also began to retreat. As they retreated, the even larger crowd of people behind them had no choice but to retreat, creating such a scene.

One person forcing back a thousand!

Chen Yuan stopped and looked directly at the constable captain, asking calmly:

"What did you say?"

"I... I said you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! Do you know who Young Master Shen is?" The constable captain swallowed, but still braced himself to say.

A terrifying pressure instantly rose from Chen Yuan's body, like a fierce beast awakening. A trace of killing intent emanated from him, and he raised his hand.

A cloud of invisible Gang Qi quickly enveloped the constable captain, lifting him directly into the void from a distance of ten meters. The constable captain wanted to resist, wanted to wield his saber, but he felt as if he was stuck in mud.

He couldn't move at all, and a feeling of suffocation washed over him.

The constables below looked at each other. Some wanted to take action for wealth and glory, while others saw Chen Yuan's extraordinary nature, frowned, and retreated behind the crowd.

Chen Yuan looked indifferently at the constable captain and said:

"Then do you know... who I am?"

The constable captain in the void spoke with difficulty:

"You... you... who... who are you?"

Glancing at him, Chen Yuan ignored him directly. A mere constable captain was not worthy of his special explanation. He stepped forward, looked directly at the constables and the people in front of him, and said solemnly:

"This official originally thought that Tangshan was just a bit chaotic, and that some people were just a bit arrogant and domineering, but I didn't expect it to have rotted to this extent!

A constable captain of a dignified county actually stoops to flattering a member of a Jianghu gang. Are you... still worthy of being called a court official?"

"Since entering the court, this envoy has been self-disciplined, honest, and incorruptible. What I hate most are you parasites who suck the blood of the people. Today, I will start with your blood to wipe out all the corrupt officials in Tangshan!"

"Bang!!!"

Just like Shen Tao's death, the constable captain also exploded into a cloud of blood mist under immense pressure, splattering blood across the long street.

"I am Chen Yuan, the newly appointed Xuntian Qing Envoy of Tangshan Prefecture. Does anyone here dare to disobey?"

Chen Yuan looked directly at the crowd of constables in front of him.

Yue Shan and the others stood behind Chen Yuan at the same time, all wearing black cloud uniforms, exuding a powerful deterrent force.

Dozens of constables swallowed and looked at each other, not daring to step forward and scold, because the last person who scolded was now dead.

Even the constable captain, a Refined Bone expert, was dead, let alone them, small constables?

"Aren't you going to kneel down and pay respects to the Qing Envoy?"

Yue Shan's massive figure was extremely imposing. The heavy saber slammed on the ground with a 'boom', and he roared at the bewildered constables, like a thunderclap on the flat ground.

"Greetings, Qing Envoy!"

Where there was a first, there would be a second. In a short moment, all the constables knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

"Stand up!"

Chen Yuan looked directly at the two constables in front of him.

"L... Lord..."

"Yue Shan."

"This subordinate is here."

"Donghe."

"This subordinate is here."

"Yan Qing."

"This subordinate is here."

The three stepped forward at the same time, bowing in salute.

"North Mountain, East Mountain, South Mountain, West Mountain..."

"Your subordinates are here."

The Four Ghosts of Yunjiang followed closely behind.

"The Kitchen Knife Gang is doing evil and wreaking havoc on the people in Lishui County. This official hereby authorizes you to exterminate them all, leaving no one alive."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys."

"Yes, your subordinate obeys."

"Can the two of you lead them to the Kitchen Knife Gang's branch? Is there a problem?"

"N... No."

Seven Condensing Qi martial artists could easily destroy a branch, even if there was a Heavenly Gang martial artist guarding it, they would still have a great chance of victory.

After giving the order, the seven left immediately.

In an instant, only the Five Elements Ghost Children were left beside Chen Yuan. At this moment, they stood eerily beside him without saying a word, like five puppets.

Chen Yuan looked directly at the increasingly large crowd of people in front of him, pointed his finger, and said loudly:

"Go to the Kitchen Knife Gang and take back what belongs to you."

At first, no one moved, but as the first person ran, a dark mass of people followed behind Yue Shan and the others.

Perhaps some of them had no grudges against the Kitchen Knife Gang, but... who cared?
