Let everyone know just how many eyes Lord Chen actually has!

The background of the Dao God Palace as a force cannot be revealed, but Jiang He's background can be made known to all. At most, it will only be said that Jiang He values Chen Yuan greatly.

After all, isn't it normal for a top-50 genius on the Hidden Dragon榜 (Qianlong Bang - Hidden Dragon Ranking) to be valued?

As long as everyone in Qingzhou knows that Jiang He is the person behind him, anyone who dares to play tricks on him will have to think twice!

From being in the remote Nanling Prefecture to stepping onto the stage of Qingzhou, Chen Yuan is destined to be scrutinized by many people. He doesn't want to play the "pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger" game.

He wants to tell everyone clearly that he, Chen Yuan, is not to be trifled with!

Regarding Chen Yuan's departure, Huang Yi tried to persuade him to stay. In his opinion, staying in Jiuyuan府城 (Jiuyuan Fu City) was the safest choice. No matter how strong the Qingyun Sword Sect was,

they wouldn't dare to openly slaughter a Jiuyuan Sky Survey Department.

That would be treason, a major event concerning the court's reputation.

If it angered the court and a Huayang realm expert descended, it would be a catastrophe for the Qingyun Sword Sect.

But Chen Yuan just smiled and made up an excuse. He certainly wouldn't reveal his true plan.

Hiding here might be safe, but it was more likely to leave behind a fatal hidden danger. Once the enemy was hidden in the dark, it would be the greatest danger to him.

He had to take this opportunity to eliminate these troubles in one fell swoop!

Of course, in the eyes of many, this was just Chen Yuan being afraid, panicking, and wanting to flee to Qingzhou City, or quickly hiding somewhere, fearing retaliation.

It is worth mentioning that the news of the death of the elder of a certain force in Dongping Prefecture, who was killed by Chen Yuan with one punch, also reached that sect.

They sent people to demand an explanation from Chen Yuan, but Chen Yuan killed them directly and hung their bodies on the city wall, proclaiming:

"If you want an explanation from him, then exchange it with your lives!"

After that, the first-rate force made no further moves, not out of fear of his power, but because they felt it wasn't worth it. Anyway, Chen Yuan had offended two top forces in Qingzhou consecutively, and most likely wouldn't survive.

In that case, why bother looking for trouble?

They could just wait until Chen Yuan was dead before jumping out and saying something…

…

…

After leaving Jiuyuan Prefecture, Chen Yuan and the others traveled quickly, even concealing their tracks.

He wasn't a fool, and naturally wouldn't treat the experts from the Bright Temple and Qingyun Sword Sect as fools. If they left ostentatiously, anyone but an idiot could see that something was wrong.

But the current situation was different. Apart from him, everyone probably thought he was preparing to avoid the limelight, which was normal and conformed to everyone's expectations.

And no one thought that Chen Yuan's actions would damage his reputation. With two top forces as enemies, being ostentatious was truly brain-dead.

With Gu Hao and Jingxin as stepping stones, it was enough to support Chen Yuan's reputation.

The name of the Demon Blade was widely spread in Qingzhou.

Many people were even speculating whether Chen Yuan could survive this disaster. If he died, the world would lose another expert. As for the unwritten rules of life and death in the same realm, they applied to the descendants of prominent families and sects with similar backgrounds.

But they didn't apply to people like Chen Yuan, who came from humble beginnings.

If he didn't die, many people felt that perhaps Qingzhou would produce another Dan境 (Dan Realm) expert in the future.

Amidst the many speculations, only two people believed that Chen Yuan would definitely be able to overcome these dangers: the Black-Robed Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Palace and the hunchbacked old man, Ming He.

Only they two had personally witnessed the terrifying power contained in the Dan符 (Dan Fu - Dan Talisman) in Chen Yuan's hand, and guessed that there must be a strong expert protecting him.

Even if no one was protecting him, with that Dan符 (Dan Fu - Dan Talisman) present, Chen Yuan's chances of survival would be greatly increased.

A few days passed in a flash. Chen Yuan and his group, concealing their tracks, entered another prefecture that was a necessary route to Qingzhou City. This place was called Shangyang Prefecture, more than four hundred miles away from Jiuyuan Prefecture.

And the straight-line distance from Qingzhou City was less than a thousand miles.

On this day, Chen Yuan, wearing a human skin mask he obtained from Miao Renfeng, entered a restaurant in the prefecture city with Yue Shan and Zhao Beishan to buy some things and, at the same time, inquire about the news that had happened in the past few days.

Perhaps there would be news about him. In the past few days, in order to disguise himself more convincingly, Chen Yuan and his group had really not contacted anyone. They traveled during the night and rested during the day.

They rarely encountered pedestrians, and mostly bypassed counties and prefectures.

Led by the waiter, the three of them found a place to sit down on the second floor of the inn, ordered some dishes and wine, and were no different from ordinary Jianghu (Martial World) travelers.

Even to cover up, Chen Yuan had disguised the Wild Goose Blade, wrapping a layer of hemp rope around it.

The inn served food and wine quickly, and it was brought up in a short while: two plates of beef, three roast chickens, plus some vegetables and peanuts.

As everyone knows, peanuts are the standard accompaniment to drinking.

Drinking thirst-quenching wine from small black bowls, Chen Yuan and the others pricked up their ears, listening to the complex discussions on the second floor.

"Hey, have you heard? Wang Er's mother is pregnant again."

"Who did it? Didn't they say his father died a long time ago?"

"Hehe, what do you think?"

"Brother, you can't say that. It's a serious crime."

"What do you know? It is said that some people like this kind of thing now."

Chen Yuan frowned upon hearing this. This was the first time he had heard about such ethical issues in this world. It was not unfamiliar to him from his previous life. One of his friends was a senior海脚 (Haijiao - A slang term, meaning someone who likes this kind of thing).....

(Don't ask what 海脚 means.)

After listening for a few sentences, Chen Yuan changed his target, because he heard his name from his mouth.

"This Demon Blade is really powerful. He actually stepped on the Qingyun Sword Sect and the Bright Temple, and soared so many places on the Hidden Dragon榜 (Qianlong Bang - Hidden Dragon Ranking)."

"Yes, probably this person is the most talented within our Qingzhou region in the past two years."

"Tsk tsk... 20th place on the Hidden Dragon榜 (Qianlong Bang - Hidden Dragon Ranking), that's already among the top ranks."

"That's for sure. It is said that the gap between the top 20 on the Hidden Dragon榜 (Qianlong Bang - Hidden Dragon Ranking) and the following 30 is not small. Although Chen Yuan is only ranked 20th, you have to see how he got there."

"He soared twenty-two places from forty-second. Apart from him, how many people can do it?"

"According to my uncle who works as a servant, the reason why Dengxian楼 (Dengxian Lou - Ascending Immortal Tower, a ranking organization) arranged such a high ranking for Chen Yuan this time is entirely because the other party's strength is unfathomable even now."

"In addition, he has improved his ranking too quickly in the past six months, which made many people think that the information of Dengxian楼 (Dengxian Lou - Ascending Immortal Tower, a ranking organization) was inaccurate, so he was directly promoted twenty places."

"If it were someone else, he would be at most 30th on the Hidden Dragon榜 (Qianlong Bang - Hidden Dragon Ranking)."

"After all, there is no accurate news that Gu Hao and Jingxin were all killed by the Demon Blade. The only thing that can prove his strength is"

"It's just that he punched a Tongxuan realm expert to death not long ago."

"Do you think this Demon Blade's true strength is more than just 20th on the Hidden Dragon榜 (Qianlong Bang - Hidden Dragon Ranking)?"

"How do you say that?"

"In the past few days, I have carefully looked at the news about this Demon Blade, and found that he can burst out with more strength than usual every time he fights. No one would believe that he is not hiding his strength."

"It's a pity that no matter how deeply he hides, he probably won't be able to survive this time." Someone seemed to sigh with some regret.

"How do you say that?"

"Have you forgotten that both Flying Rain Sword and Jingxin the Monk have backgrounds? Chen Yuan was given the crime in such an unknown way, and his head was burned to ashes. How can anyone not ask for an explanation?"

"Could it be that they really dare to attack Chen Yuan? Didn't they say that he is highly talented and someone values him?"

"If he honestly shrinks in the prefecture city, it would be a little difficult for others to take him, but he took the initiative to leave, hehe..."

"But recently no one has said they want to kill him."

"Brother, you are not that stupid, right? Who would kill someone, especially a court official, and make a big fuss about it?"

"This is called the storm is coming."

"Brother Ma is right, wait and see, I have a hunch that this time things will not end well, let's just wait and watch the show."

"Haha, Big Brother is right, come, drink, drink..."

A table not far away stopped talking, but there were other people discussing, but they were talking about almost the same thing, thinking that Chen Yuan might have an accident.

These are all old routines...

Withdrawing his attention, Chen Yuan had some understanding of his current situation. There was nothing surprising about the situation, he had expected this.

He even knew the slanders and praises of the outside world.

The only thing that was a little surprised was that Dengxian楼 (Dengxian Lou - Ascending Immortal Tower, a ranking organization) actually arranged such a high ranking for him this time, directly jumping from forty-second on the Hidden Dragon榜 (Qianlong Bang - Hidden Dragon Ranking) to twentieth.

Such a surge in ranking is rare on the Hidden Dragon榜 (Qianlong Bang - Hidden Dragon Ranking), especially the higher the ranking, the lower the increase. You are a genius, and others are also geniuses.

If you improve your cultivation, won't others improve their cultivation?

According to his original prediction, this time he would probably take the place of Jingxin the Monk, with a small probability of entering the top 30. He didn't expect Dengxian楼 (Dengxian Lou - Ascending Immortal Tower, a ranking organization) to do this.

It is estimated that he was also shocked by his repeated bursts of strength.

Directly placed in the twentieth place, it seems completely certain that Gu Hao and Jingxin the Monk died in his hands, without any doubt.

He really looked up to him too much.

He smiled self-deprecatingly and drank the wine in the bowl, everything was going according to his previous predictions, the storm is coming!

"Congratulations... Young Master."

Yue Shan said in a low voice, with a smile on his face, looking at Chen Yuan.

Obviously, he also heard the discussions of those people just now.

The top 20 on the Hidden Dragon榜 (Qianlong Bang - Hidden Dragon Ranking), what an honor!

It means that their Lord has reached the level of the strongest group of geniuses in the world, and their followers will also rise accordingly.

As for worrying about danger...

It's not that they don't have it, it's just that they have great trust in the always calm Chen Yuan.

They feel that with him, they will definitely be able to turn danger into safety.

"Young Master is truly a god!"
