Listening to Chen Yuan's chilling words, the six Tong Xuan realm warriors exchanged glances. None of them dared to step forward like the middle-aged man before, fearing they would be blasted to death with a single punch.

That man was already one of the stronger among them, yet he was still instantly killed by Chen Yuan. They figured that if they went up there, the outcome wouldn't be any better.

A little bit of profit wasn't worth it.

Seeing no one answer, Chen Yuan took a step forward, only twenty zhang away from the six, and roared:

"If you dare not come forward, then get lost! Otherwise, I, Chen, will surely let you die by my fist!"

Huang Yi felt that facing six enemies and still daring to be so arrogant and boastful, there was probably no one else in Qing Prefecture besides Chen Yuan who would dare to speak like that.

What was this?

This was strength, this was power!

With the achievements just now, who dared to disagree in the slightest?

Sure enough, after hearing Chen Yuan's words, although everyone felt a bit aggrieved, no one dared to refute. They cupped their hands and turned around to leave without saying a word.

One led to two, and in an instant, all six Tong Xuan experts fled.

Defeating the enemy with words!

This was Chen Yuan's current power. Of course, it was mainly based on the shock of Chen Yuan's sudden outburst just now. No one knew if Chen Yuan had any hidden cards.

Such a terrifying expert was not someone they could provoke.

After the others retreated, Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze and searched below. He was looking for the Qingyun Sword Sect disciples who had come with Gu Hao earlier. Since he had already offended them,

He might as well go for broke.

Kill everyone except Xiao Qingmu, and keep that woman to control the Sect Master of Qingyuan Sword Sect.

Unfortunately, as far as his eyes could see, he didn't find them. Even all the Qingyun Sword Sect disciples had disappeared without a trace, which made him quite puzzled.

Could it be that the news of Gu Hao's death had spread?

Impossible...

This was within the Yuan Kong Realm, and there was no way to transmit messages out. Gu Hao was also hammered to death by him, and he didn't leave any backup plans before his death.

But after scanning the area, he could only withdraw his gaze with a gloomy expression.

He glanced at Huang Yi, waved his hand, and two round human heads were restrained by him with Gang Qi and held in front of him. He loudly said to the nearly a thousand people below:

"Jingxin of the Guangming Temple and Gu Hao of the Qingyun Sword Sect are audacious and recklessly intercepting imperial officials. This is a great crime! Today, they have been executed. Their heads will be hung at the Sky Survey Division of Jiuyuan Prefecture for three days as a warning to others!"

As soon as his voice fell, the people who originally wanted to leave all looked up at the two blood-stained heads, shocked by Chen Yuan's audacity. Core disciples of two top forces,

Talents in the top fifty of the Hidden Dragon List, were killed as he pleased.

Not caring about the subsequent impact in the slightest, this was truly audacious.

Looking at the silent scene below, followed by a burst of discussion, Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze with satisfaction. The reason why he so openly declared the deaths of Gu Hao and Jingxin was

First, it couldn't be hidden, so he might as well use it as a deterrent to let others know what kind of character he was. Second, it was to exonerate Huang Yi. He would bear the pressure from the Qingyun Sword Sect alone!

Huang Yi didn't have the ability to resist such a top force. He did!

With Jiang He and the imperial court as his backing, plus the Dan Talisman containing Jiang He's strike, Chen Yuan had a deep foundation.

To be precise, he dared to do what Huang Yi didn't dare to do, and he dared to kill people Huang Yi didn't dare to kill!

Huang Yi took a deep breath, and the look in his eyes towards Chen Yuan already contained a hint of admiration. He obviously knew Chen Yuan's intention.

He gained the reputation, but he would also be exposed to great danger.

With his current strength, it really wouldn't work.

Did he really think he could act recklessly just because he was an imperial official?

If that were the case, so many people wouldn't be killed every year. Many people just didn't dare to act openly, so as not to make the imperial court lose face and be forced to take action in anger.

In private, a mere Qing Envoy would really not be taken seriously by some top forces.

The black-robed holy maiden stared at Chen Yuan's back, her eyes flickering. She thought to herself that this person was indeed somewhat extraordinary, and there might be a time when they would meet again in the future.

At that time, it would probably be a situation of drawing swords against each other.

Shaking her head slightly, she left silently, not exchanging any words with anyone. If Chen Yuan hadn't been paying attention to her, he probably wouldn't have noticed.

He undoubtedly held a vigilant heart towards this mysterious woman.

The black-robed holy maiden didn't care about Chen Yuan driving away those Tong Xuan experts, but the ordinary-looking young man couldn't do the same. He pondered for a moment, moved a little closer to Chen Yuan, and cupped his hands, saying:

"Casual cultivator Han Yu, thank you, Inspector Chen, for resolving the siege."

Coming back to his senses, Chen Yuan carefully looked at the man in front of him and smiled:

"It's just a small matter, why bother mentioning it?"

He had only seen this guy twice, once before entering the Yuan Kong Realm and once after the Yuan Kong Realm ended. He didn't know where he was hiding, but people who seemed harmless usually weren't that simple.

Therefore, making a friendly connection wouldn't hurt.

After exchanging names and chatting for a few words, Han Yu bid farewell. Chen Yuan didn't try to keep him, watching him leave. The other party's identity as a casual cultivator gave him some intention to recruit him.

But after all, they had only just met. It wasn't appropriate to mention these things, and Chen Yuan's current official rank was only a Sky Survey Inspector. What did he have that was worth the other party's allegiance?

The other party's age looked only a little older than him, and his talent could be called amazing... Such people were somewhat arrogant and not easy to subdue.

Falling from the void, Chen Yuan glanced at Zhao Beishan and the others with a calm expression and asked, "Where are those Qingyun Sword Sect disciples who came with Gu Hao earlier?"

Before entering, Chen Yuan had asked them to pay close attention to their movements.

Hearing this question, Yue Shan said somewhat shamefully, "Reporting to milord, not long ago, a riot occurred here when the Yuan Kong Secret Realm was about to open.

After it subsided, those people from the Qingyun Sword Sect just... disappeared without a trace. But this subordinate has already sent the Five Elements Ghost Boys and a few other brothers to investigate."

After hearing these words, Chen Yuan's expression darkened. The portal of the Yuan Kong Realm opened before he fought against Gu Hao and the monk Jingxin. It seemed that the other party did have a way to find out about his news.

Even the people from the Qingyun Sword Sect already knew about it. As far as he knew, Gu Hao's father was an elder of the Qingyun Sword Sect. He had a feud of killing his son,

I'm afraid... no, it's absolutely impossible for him to let it go.

Even now, he might be on his way here.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and sneered. Since he was coming, he might as well make things even bigger!

He didn't blame Yue Shan and the others for not keeping an eye on Xiao Qingmu, after all, no one could control the sudden riot. The news of Gu Hao's death spreading at the same time was also beyond his expectations.

Moreover, even if they had kept an eye on her, what could they have done?

Xiao Qingmu was an expert at the Tong Xuan level. Even if Yue Shan and the others went up together, they would only be courting death. They couldn't even resist. However, this didn't mean that he would let the other party go.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yuan approached Huang Yi, hoping that he could mobilize all the forces Jiuyuan Prefecture could control to fully investigate Xiao Qingmu's whereabouts.

Huang Yi naturally agreed to this without hesitation.

......

......

On the same day, after the Yuan Kong Realm ended, Chen Yuan returned to the Sky Survey Division of Jiuyuan Prefecture as invited. Huang Yi was unprecedentedly enthusiastic towards Chen Yuan, treating him like a superior.

The heads of Gu Hao and the monk Jingxin were also hung in front of the Sky Survey Division. The events that happened in the Yuan Kong Realm were also being talked about.

But it was nothing more than a few points. This Demon Blade Chen Yuan was really tough. Not only did he kill the core disciples of two top sects, but he also hung them up in front of the gate to be exposed to the sun in a grand manner.

And Gu Hao and Jingxin were geniuses at the forefront of the Hidden Dragon List. Their rankings were higher than Chen Yuan's. How could they both have fallen into his hands?

Was it a head-on battle?

Or was it that the information from Dengxian Tower was simply inaccurate? Either Chen Yuan's strength was too strong, or Gu Hao and the monk Jingxin were not as good as their reputation.

But after much thought, many people still tended to believe that Chen Yuan's strength was no longer at the same level as Gu Hao and the others. This could be seen from the fact that he blasted a Tong Xuan expert to death with one punch.

This happened in full view of everyone, and no one could fake it.

After all, Gu Hao and the monk Jingxin didn't suddenly jump up in the rankings either. They were also fought for through battles, and their records couldn't be faked.

As for what Chen Yuan's true strength was, there were various opinions. People were guessing what level his strength was at. At the same time... they were also betting on what kind of ranking the Hidden Dragon List would give Chen Yuan after this amazing record.

Would it skyrocket... or would it replace the monk Jingxin's previous ranking and rank thirty-sixth?

This was only the first day. On the second day and the third day, the news from Jiuyuan Prefecture completely exploded, spreading towards other prefectures and even sweeping through Qing Prefecture.

Chen Yuan could be said to be using the heads of two people as stepping stones to take a big step forward.

Previously, his reputation was mostly limited to Nanling Prefecture, but this time it was different....

Just as the news was growing stronger, Chen Yuan left Jiuyuan Prefecture. To be precise, he left after resting for nearly two days.

The heads of Gu Hao and Jingxin were also burned to ashes by him directly in front of many people.

There were many reasons for leaving. First, even if the entire Jiuyuan Prefecture was searched, Xiao Qingmu and her group could not be found.

Staying there would only be a waste of effort.

Moreover, with the news being so widespread, the Guangming Temple and the Qingyun Sword Sect must be rushing here. Staying there would only hurt the innocent.

Furthermore, destroying a prefecture city and burying the entire Jiuyuan Prefecture Sky Survey Division with them, they might not dare to do it. Since that was the case, he would give them this opportunity!

The prize-winning guessing game starts again!

Guess what ranking Chen Yuan will reach this time. A 6.66 yuan red envelope will be offered for guessing correctly. There will be no false changes, because I have already written the next chapter.

There is no need to change it for a few yuan. Everyone can rest assured about this.

By the way, only the first correct answer will be recognized. Repeating and following suit later will not work. It's not because of anything else, it's mainly because the author is too poor and only earns a few thousand yuan a month...
