Most importantly, Chen Yuan had experienced the power of these things. When placed nearby during cultivation, they could increase the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy by several times. If one were to break through in cultivation, they would be of even greater use.

And all of these things now belonged to him!

He had no intention of handing them over. At worst, he could make up for the losses from other places, but he couldn't let go of these Yuan Crystals to others.

What he had seen was his.

"This thing is extraordinary, remember not to let others know about it. Keep it safe, and come to my room tonight," Chen Yuan instructed solemnly.

"Your subordinate understands."

Seeing Chen Yuan's solemn demeanor, he understood the value of the item and quickly nodded.

He didn't have the greedy desire to take it for himself. From the moment he saw it, he vaguely realized that this thing was extraordinary, and the waters were too deep for him to grasp.

Glancing at Mo Donghe, Chen Yuan didn't say anything more. He was a smart man, and also the first person in the Celestial Patrol Division to pledge allegiance to him, knowing how to act.

Leaving the main hall, Chen Yuan arrived at the open space where the Dragon-Tiger Sect disciples practiced. Corpses were being piled up, and under his orders, these people would be burned to ashes.

After pouring oil on them, Yue Shan threw the torch in his hand, and in an instant, a layer of scorching flames ignited above.

And during the process of moving the bodies, the news that Chen Yuan had led a surprise attack on the Dragon-Tiger Sect and completely annihilated it began to spread rapidly within the Nangling Prefecture City. Some people had wanted to visit him earlier, but they were all rejected by him.

The commotion he had caused when leaving the city before was not small, and he hadn't intended to hide it.

"Lord, these are the treasures and cultivation technique manuals seized from the Dragon-Tiger Sect..." Celestial Patrol Lu Yang walked respectfully to Chen Yuan's side and bowed slightly to show his respect.

Lu Yang also changed his title to "Lord," as if he truly regarded himself as a subordinate.

It should be known that although Chen Yuan had already broken through, he was still only a Celestial Patrol, equivalent to the same rank as Lu Yang. But he wasn't a fool.

He knew Chen Yuan's Green Envoy status, and it probably wouldn't be long before he took office.

By flattering him now, he might be able to gain some leverage in the future.

He was now even more grateful for his previous wisdom in not opposing him, and even cooperating very well in some matters, which would likely leave a good impression in Chen Yuan's mind.

Unlike Nie Qiyun, who had repeatedly opposed him and formed grudges since Chen Yuan became a Celestial Patrol. Everyone had seen the outcome. Chen Yuan rose all the way, made a name for himself, and now had broken through to the Tongxuan Realm.

And Nie Qiyun had long since been reduced to dust.

After a casual glance, Chen Yuan had a clear idea in his mind. There were six large boxes of silver, which was 60,000 taels of silver, as well as many land deeds and shops in Nangling Prefecture City.

Most importantly, the Dragon-Tiger Sect controlled a not-small mine.

These were most of the Dragon-Tiger Sect's wealth. In addition, there were many cultivation resources and cultivation techniques. These things, especially the techniques, would definitely be handed over to the higher-ups.

But secretly copying some wouldn't be a big deal.

It was a pity that Chen Yuan didn't find the so-called Sword Control Technique (御剑术 Yujian Shu) that Xu Lingtian mentioned, which made him slightly disappointed. Among the entire Dragon-Tiger Sect, the only thing he could value was this sword technique.

He couldn't even look at the others; they wouldn't increase his strength much.

According to custom, Chen Yuan ordered people to count them accurately and distributed a portion to Shi Yunlong, which surprised him a little, but he didn't say anything. He just felt that Chen Yuan was a trustworthy person.

It should be known that even if he didn't give these things to him, he wouldn't say anything, because from the beginning, he hadn't had such hope. After annihilating the Dragon-Tiger Sect, his goal had been achieved.

Although Chen Yuan was shrewd and self-serving, using him as a shield, he didn't care about these mundane things like gold and silver. Of course, this also allowed him to see some of Chen Yuan's ambitions.

Another part was handed over to the imperial court, and the last part was distributed to the Celestial Patrol Guards below according to their merits. As for himself, he didn't want anything except for those few Yuan Crystals.

Which made people admire him involuntarily.

After all, only Mo Donghe knew about the Yuan Crystals.

After the inspection and distribution were completed, Chen Yuan had people carefully inspect the Dragon-Tiger Sect again, and after confirming that there were no living creatures, he burned all the buildings on Dragon-Tiger Mountain to ashes in one fell swoop.

Exterminating a sect naturally had to be accompanied by arson.

Perhaps many years later, someone would start a sect here again, but the traces of the Dragon-Tiger Sect would eventually disappear little by little...

And just as Chen Yuan was on his way back to the city, a great uproar finally erupted within the Nangling Prefecture City. The previous news spread like wildfire throughout the entire city.

The Dragon-Tiger Sect had been exterminated!

The dignified Dragon-Tiger Sect, one of the five major forces in Nangling Prefecture, had been exterminated!

This was extremely shocking news. Countless people were frightened after hearing it, realizing the imperial court's decisiveness. They said they would exterminate the sect, and they did so. There was no prior notice.

It was said that no one from the entire Dragon-Tiger Sect survived.

In addition to this, there was another big news that was no less than this event.

The person who led the annihilation of the Dragon-Tiger Sect this time was Celestial Patrol Chen Yuan!

And he had already broken through to the Tongxuan Realm.

Even the Dragon-Tiger Sect Master Xu Lingtian was killed by him in battle within a hundred breaths.

Just as Shi Yunlong had complimented Chen Yuan before, this time, Chen Yuan had indeed shaken Nangling. Everyone knew how powerful he was.

Having just entered the Tongxuan Realm, he solved a master like Xu Lingtian within a hundred breaths. His strength must have already widened the gap with ordinary Tongxuan Realm experts.

What kind of talent was this?

At least Ye Chenbai of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion, after hearing this news, was overjoyed after the initial shock and confusion. He saw the terror of Chen Yuan's talent.

He had now ordered people to begin assessing Chen Yuan's strength. Being in the top fifty of the Hidden Dragon List was a certainty. After this battle, Chen Yuan's reputation became even louder.

Along with Chen Yuan's talent, his vengeful personality also became famous.

A rumor spread among the levels above ordinary people, saying that the main reason for the Dragon-Tiger Sect's calamity this time was Chen Yuan's promotion.

The mysterious expert who had made a big fuss at the Dragon-Tiger Sect not long ago, Xu Lingtian wanted to frame Chen Yuan, and not long ago, he had secretly plotted with Tang Qian to attack Chen Yuan. After he learned about it,

He directly persuaded Tao Qingyuan and personally attacked the Dragon-Tiger Sect.

Killing him alive, breaking his bones and tendons, it was horrible...

This was the attitude that Chen Yuan showed to the outside world. Not to mention forming a grudge with him, even if someone plotted against him behind his back, he would exterminate their entire family after he found out!

This was Chen Yuan's personality. It had been like this in Ping'an County before.

He had only been dormant before, but now he was showing his brilliance.

In short, various rumors about Chen Yuan were almost flying everywhere. There were also rumors that Chen Yuan's attack on the Dragon-Tiger Sect with people this time had another very important reason.

That was that Tao Qingyuan intended for Chen Yuan to become the new Celestial Green Envoy of Nangling Prefecture. This was to accumulate qualifications for him.

Countless rumors successfully shaped the image that Chen Yuan had wanted to create, being dutiful and responsible to the people, showing loyalty and righteousness, and being fierce to those Jianghu forces.

Whoever provoked him, he would exterminate their entire family.

If you didn't want to die, you should be honest in front of him...

The fierce reputation and powerful strength of Demon Blade Chen Yuan were taking root in people's hearts.

Several forces that had been dissatisfied with Chen Yuan before sent people to personally deliver invitation cards, fearing that Chen Yuan's next target would be them.

Of course, the person in the entire Nangling Prefecture who was most concerned about this matter was Tang Qian, the leader of the Azure Flood Dragon Gang.

He had been sending people to keep an eye on the Chen residence. This morning, after someone reported that Chen Yuan had taken the elite of the Celestial Patrol Division out of the city and his whereabouts were unknown, he had actually received the news.

At first, he didn't take it to heart, thinking that Chen Yuan was going to perform some mission again.

But after learning that Chen Yuan was heading straight for the Dragon-Tiger Sect, he sensed a hint of danger and immediately wanted to take people to the Dragon-Tiger Sect to provide assistance. He knew a principle deeply,

Once the Dragon-Tiger Sect was gone, the most dangerous person would be him.

Relatively speaking, the strength of the Dragon-Tiger Sect was still stronger.

However, just as the people he brought with him made a move, thousands of soldiers from the Nangling Prefecture Military Guard surrounded the entire Azure Flood Dragon Gang. Lu Yuan blocked him.

At that time, he wanted to question something, but Lu Yuan's answer was that some deserters were hiding near the Azure Flood Dragon Gang and needed to be searched.

Tang Qian naturally refused and immediately argued with him.

However, Lu Yuan simply ignored him and instead took out a chessboard to play with him. In short, he wouldn't let him leave.

After all, the Military Guard and the Celestial Patrol Division were not the same system. Lu Yuan had agreed to Tao Qingyuan, but he wouldn't take action unless absolutely necessary. However, it was still no problem to stop Tang Qian.

The two played a game of chess, with no winner or loser, because they had not put their minds on the chessboard, but on the Dragon-Tiger Sect.

What happened after that was simple. After waiting for a long time, they finally waited for the news to come. Xu Lingtian and Xu Yongnian were dead, and the Dragon-Tiger Sect was completely annihilated.

All the sect disciples were killed by Chen Yuan.

Tang Qian also finally learned the news that Chen Yuan had broken through to the Tongxuan Realm. The shock in his heart was indescribable. He had been worried about this before, so he had wanted to get rid of Chen Yuan as soon as possible.

But they were still one step late. The first to act was Chen Yuan!

He also dispersed them, defeated them one by one, and solved the Dragon-Tiger Sect.

Who would be next?

Tang Qian felt that there was no accident. It must be him. Chen Yuan must have guessed something from the previous assassination, so he acted so quickly.

He also had such strength. No wonder the always cautious Tao Qingyuan would agree to take action.

After sensing the danger, Tang Qian turned his mind slightly and began to bow his head to Lu Yuan. It was a pity that Lu Yuan didn't care about him at all. After learning about the annihilation of the Dragon-Tiger Sect, he turned around and left directly.

However, although he left, the Military Guard soldiers who were surrounding the Azure Flood Dragon Gang outside did not withdraw, surrounding the entire Azure Flood Dragon Gang headquarters tightly.

The disciples in the Azure Flood Dragon Gang wanted to resist, but without exception, they were all shot and killed.

Tang Qian was anxious, but he didn't dare to rush out directly, because resisting the imperial court was a major crime of rebellion!

With no other choice, Tang Qian directly used the gang's falcons to ask for help from the outside.
