After changing his appearance and leaving the capital, Chen Yuan headed straight for Qingzhou, a necessary stop on his way to Shuzhou. If he wanted to go to Shuzhou, he had to enter Qingzhou first.

However, his speed wasn't particularly fast, because besides traveling, he was also recuperating from his injuries. Since he hadn't recovered in the capital, he naturally had to recover on the road.

This was his original plan.

With injuries not healed, he always felt less confident when facing enemies.

After all, he had quite a few enemies.

He had gained a lot of benefits and destroyed many forces along the way, but he still had stronger enemies ahead of him, not to mention the distant Lingshan.

With his current strength, a head-on collision would be like hitting a stone with an egg.

What truly worried Chen Yuan was the Gu family and the Eastern Barbarians!

Yang Huatian had told him before that the Gu family hadn't stopped their investigation. On the contrary, the intensity was increasing, and they had already destroyed many of his former affiliated forces.

Moreover, there was a trend of moving towards him.

After all, Yang Huatian's reason for actively exposing himself was to help Chen Yuan attract the Gu family's attention. Now, if they calmed down, they would inevitably deal with him as well.

Because Gu He, the Gu family's number one genius in recent years, was directly killed by him.

This was one reason.

The Eastern Barbarians hated him even more deeply. The contemporary geniuses of the Yagyu family and the Ito family were also killed by him, and the Sumeru Illusion Realm, which had been planned for a century, was also annihilated by the power of the masses.

According to what Jingtai said before, the head of the Ito family, Ito Shinsei, had his arm cut off by a strong court official. The Eastern Barbarians might temporarily endure against the court.

But if it was against him, once they learned that he had left the Divine Capital, they were likely to find a way to avenge their previous grievances. At this time, they wouldn't talk about Jianghu rules.

Moreover, the Eastern Dwarves only know trivial matters and have no great righteousness, and they simply won't abide by these unwritten rules.

This was the second reason.

There was also the court's investigation of the Dao Shrine. Once they found out about him, it would be more than just him who would suffer. His subordinates in the capital,

His foundation in Tangshan Prefecture would all be annihilated.

This was the third reason.

It was also the most important reason why Chen Yuan wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible.

And the fourth.

This was the enemy that Chen Yuan couldn't figure out the most, because he himself didn't know who his enemy would be. But since Senior Moro broke the obscuration of the Heavenly Secrets for him a few days ago,

He had an inexplicable feeling that the enemy he was about to face... was very powerful!

Otherwise, his parents and uncle wouldn't have obscured the Heavenly Secrets for him and placed him in a 'Ping An County' (Peaceful County) with an extremely clever name.

Therefore, Chen Yuan changed his appearance and kept a low profile throughout the journey.

The journey was very peaceful, so peaceful that even Chen Yuan himself felt surprised. He thought that because of the Destiny Altar, he was a trouble-making physique.

There would be a continuous stream of Sons of Destiny who would form grudges with him for various reasons, leading to irreconcilable conflicts.

He himself had been unusually vigilant.

He often opened his Heavenly Eye, constantly observing everyone who passed him by, but unfortunately... it was always very peaceful, even until Chen Yuan arrived at Qingzhou City.

Yes, Chen Yuan finally arrived at the first stop of his trip, Qingzhou City!

It took about seven days, neither too fast nor too slow.

Chen Yuan still didn't feel anything unusual when he entered Qingzhou City for the third time, because he didn't have any sense of belonging here. Only Nanling Prefecture and Tangshan Prefecture would give him a sense of belonging.

Everything was not much different from two months ago. The Qingyun Sword Sect had fallen, but other forces would soon fill the gap.

Chen Yuan didn't reveal his identity, but secretly suppressed his aura, and using his understanding of the Sky Survey Division, he cleverly avoided the prying eyes of the formation,

And came near the Sky Survey Hall.

Chen Yuan didn't plan to show any trace of himself on this trip.

Especially on the way to Shuzhou, which was of great importance, no mistakes could be made.

At this moment, inside the Qingzhou Sky Survey Division.

Sitting at the head, Jiang He listened calmly to his subordinates' recent reports, tapping his fingers rhythmically, one tap at a time, as if tapping into people's hearts.

The two deputy envoys were very respectful and didn't dare to show the slightest pleasure.

For some reason, it seemed that since the Gold Envoy had emerged from seclusion half a month ago, the pressure on his body had become greater and greater. Although he was still at the Dan Realm cultivation level,

He became even more unpredictable.

The main reason for this was naturally because Jiang He had broken through. Once he broke through, even if he suppressed it as well as possible, some inexplicable power would still be revealed.

Fortunately, Jiang He's attitude had always been cold, so no one suspected anything.

Suddenly, Jiang He, who was listening attentively, frowned and looked at the top of his head. His eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice:

"You can make your own decisions about these matters. Alright, I have other things to do today. You may leave."

The two deputy envoys exchanged glances. They felt that the Gold Envoy was a little strange today, but they didn't think too much about it and hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, your subordinate will take his leave."

"Your subordinate will take his leave..."

After the two of them had left, Jiang He spoke:

"You're not in the capital, why did you come to Qingzhou? Did something happen?"

The wisp of aura that Chen Yuan had deliberately leaked just now was enough for Jiang He to sense who was coming. Chen Yuan didn't deliberately play tricks either. His figure slowly revealed his true form, and he looked at Jiang He and said:

"I caused a ruckus in the imperial city before, and the court is investigating very closely. They might even find out about me, so I took the opportunity to ask for a leave of absence for a period of time to come and see you."

"Sit."

Chen Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.

"Where's Senior Moro?"

Jiang He asked.

"He's still recuperating from his injuries."

Moro's injuries were even more serious than Chen Yuan's. Besides giving him a lot of guidance at the beginning, he had been silent ever since, especially after the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra had visited the Demon Suppressing Cave.

Chen Yuan also knew the severity of the situation, so he would never take the initiative to awaken Moro unless there was a major crisis.

After all, the better Senior Moro's injuries recovered, the more confident he would be.

Jiang He nodded slightly when he heard this and didn't ask any more questions.

"How are your injuries, Brother Jiang?"

"I also need to recuperate for a period of time."

Jiang He replied truthfully.

Among the Dao Shrine masters who participated in the battle besides Moro and Chen Yuan, his injuries were the most serious. On the surface, it didn't look like anything, but they were all internal injuries.

They even touched his origin.

It was only because his foundation was solid, otherwise, if someone else fought against the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, they would be half-crippled even if they didn't die.

The period of time he was talking about meant that it would take at least half a year to fully recover.

Who told him not to have an old lover to give him spiritual objects?

That Su Ziyue has a lot of good things...

Of course, he could also exchange for them if he spoke, but he was unwilling to do so. That battle gave him injuries, but it also gave him a lot of help. He might as well take advantage of this period of recuperation to comprehend the situation at that time.

Maybe it would really be as Senior Moro said before, and he would be blessed by misfortune.

"There's no need for that. I'm here this time specifically for your injuries." Chen Yuan smiled mysteriously.

Jiang He stared at him, and after a moment, he said:

"Speak frankly."

"Brother Jiang, take a look at what this is?"

A flash of light appeared in Chen Yuan's hand, and a jade box the size of a palm appeared in his hand. Then, he casually opened it.

"Sixth-Grade Golden Pill!"

Jiang He's eyes lit up and he instantly recognized the pill.

"That's right, it's the Sixth-Grade Golden Pill. With this thing, the injuries on your body won't be a big problem." Chen Yuan smiled.

"How did you get this thing?"

After being surprised, Jiang He suddenly frowned and asked.

It didn't seem like something Chen Yuan could get his hands on right now.

"Someone gave it to me?"

"Who?"

Chen Yuan calmly picked up the spiritual tea and took a sip:

"What do you think, Brother Jiang?"

"Is it her?"

Jiang He's eyes flickered and his heart sank.

"Yes."

Staring at the rare spiritual pill in front of him, Jiang He let out a long breath:

"Did she ask you to bring any words?"

"Yes."

"Say it."

"Sister-in-law... Daoist Li said that she took this thing from her house casually. It might be a little useful to you."

"What else?"

"She said that she is over forty years old and her beauty is gone. She doesn't want to wait any longer in vain. Three years, either you marry her, or..."

"Or what?"

"Or, she will leave the capital and hide in the Jianghu from then on."

Jiang He closed his eyes slowly when he heard this, as if thinking about something. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said casually:

"Do you know about our affairs?"

"I know a little."

"Want to hear it?"

"Yes!!!"

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Forget it, there's nothing to say." Then Jiang He said again.

Chen Yuan: "???"

If there's nothing to say, what did you ask just now?

"Do you think I should marry her?"

"Don't ask me about your own affairs."

Knowing neither the cause nor the effect, although Chen Yuan really wanted Li Hongshuang's wish to be fulfilled and complete those four words, he wasn't willing to say much at the moment. Of course, he was also retaliating a little for deliberately teasing him just now.

"Do you think that martial artists who cultivate the Dao, the word 'love'... will it be an obstacle?"

"If there is no woman in your heart, you will naturally be a god when you draw your sword!"

Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Huh?"

"I have always been averse to women, Brother Jiang is asking the wrong person."

"Mrs. Xu of Tangshan, Miss Shen of the Goddess Palace, and... the Lord of the Seven Emotions, by the way, I heard that you have a relationship with the Long Princess Pingyang in the capital?"

Jiang He had a look on his face that said you were lying.

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, is this still the aloof Jiang He?

How can the contrast be so big?

Hmm... contrast?

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and said lightly:

"Brother Jiang, you know that I have always been averse to women, but... unfortunately, women are close to me."

Jiang He smiled, nodded, and said:

"Okay, I understand."

"Understand what?"

"Marry her!"

"When?"

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered. He didn't expect Jiang He to agree directly. It was a bit beyond his expectations. He thought Jiang He would struggle a bit.

"Didn't she say within three years? Then wait a few more days."

"Wait until when?"

"Wait until... the time when I can openly and justly defeat her father."

"Okay, I'll help you then."

"It's a deal."

"It's a deal!"

Jiang He stood up, holding the Sixth-Grade Golden Pill in his hand and standing with his hands behind his back, and said lightly:

"Then you have to break through to True Lord as soon as possible."

"Okay, definitely before you marry a wife. How about we kill our way to the capital together then?"

"Are you confident within three years?"

Chen Yuan also smiled when he heard this. What kind of person was he? He was someone who could rely on the Destiny Altar and his own efforts to get to where he was today step by step, and then he said softly:

"I even think it's too long..."

......

......

After seeing Jiang He in Qingzhou City, he didn't stay for too long. He even left after saying those words. The next stop, Nanling Prefecture.

And when he arrived at Nanling Prefecture, Chen Yuan's injuries were finally healed!

Before, there was only a small part of his injuries left, which could only be slowly recuperated. This couldn't be completely recovered by relying solely on spiritual objects, because the impact of Moro's possession was too great!

Now, after nearly ten days of continuous travel, his injuries were finally completely recovered.

Moreover, he was even stronger than before!

The strength here refers to Chen Yuan's strength!

Moro's possession brought him a great sense of oppression, and even his physical body couldn't bear it anymore, almost reaching its limit. Under this situation, Chen Yuan's potential was also stimulated.

Under the simultaneous cultivation of the Dao, Buddhist, and Demonic paths, his power became more and more terrifying, and his Qi and blood became more and more vigorous. Naturally, his combat power would become even stronger.

At the same time, his speed of absorbing the heaven and earth's spiritual energy also increased a lot.

It could also be considered a blessing in disguise.

After arriving at Nanling Prefecture, Chen Yuan basically went through the same process as when he met Jiang He. He avoided some of the Sky Survey Division's eyes and ears and found Zhang Xuan. Compared to Qingzhou City, Nanling Prefecture was easier.

Seeing Chen Yuan, Zhang Xuan was naturally pleasantly surprised and asked him a lot about what had happened before, focusing on the Sumeru Illusion Realm that had shaken the Jianghu.

Chen Yuan didn't hide anything and recounted the events of that day one by one. Zhang Xuan was quite worried after hearing this, and at the same time, he was shocked by the improvement in Chen Yuan's strength.

The gap between them was getting bigger and bigger...

Even though he had already reached the late stage of the Profound Realm, he could still only see Chen Yuan's back.

During the conversation, Chen Yuan also learned that his good brother Shangguan Yu had also successfully formed his Core, but he didn't attract any visions. During this period, he often exchanged letters with Zhang Xuan.

As Zhang Xuan spoke, he happily told Chen Yuan that he was also about to be transferred to the capital, preparing to rely on his father's efforts to form his Core... and then work with Chen Yuan.

There was nothing he could do. Having a background could really allow you to do whatever you want.

After that, Zhang Xuan also asked about Tao Qingyuan's current situation. Compared to the realistic Zhang Yantong, Zhang Xuan still valued friendship very much and always remembered Tao Qingyuan's care for him before.

Then Chen Yuan talked about Tao Qingyuan's current situation. He didn't say much else, so as not to embarrass Zhang Xuan. He only said that Tao Qingyuan was now working under him.

Serving as the Deputy Commander of the Eastern Imperial City Division...

It was still an ordinary conversation. Chen Yuan declined Zhang Xuan's invitation to have a good drink, saying that it wouldn't be too late to reunite in the capital.

In addition, he also asked him not to leak the news of his return to Qingzhou.

His whereabouts might have already been leaked, but it was best to be prepared.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Xuan, Chen Yuan hurried back to Ping An County!

This was the second time he had returned after leaving. This time, he still maintained a low profile, and even Wang Ping wasn't disturbed. Everything was silent.

He came to the fake coffin that contained the remains of his parents and uncle, came to the dilapidated Ci'en Temple, and came to one of the most profound places in his memory.

Finally, he returned to the small courtyard in the North City.

He lit three incense sticks for the memorial tablets of his parents and uncle.

Since Senior Moro used the Heavenly Secrets Disk to help him break the obscuration of the Heavenly Secrets, the memories in Chen Yuan's mind began to gradually recover. The most profound memory was the old face of his uncle.

He remembered that he seemed to like painting, and he remembered some of his living habits and his voice and smile.

But his memories of his parents were still blank.

The impression in his mind was still what his uncle had told him, that his parents had died of plague in their early years and entrusted him to him.

Looking at his former residence, Chen Yuan stayed for a long time. After the three incense sticks had burned out, he let out a long breath and cleaned up all the traces of his arrival.

When he left the small courtyard, Chen Yuan noticed Wang Ping's approach, and immediately concealed his figure. He watched as Wang Ping took out the key to open the door, cleaned the courtyard, hummed a little tune, and left again.

Free, leisurely...

Such a life seemed pretty good for him too.

If there were no extraordinary powers in this world, he might really have lived a stable life in Ping An County, and occasionally visited brothels with Wang Ping.

To explore that magical Heavenly Road more...

The Three Harmonies Fist Gym.

This place was still bustling with people practicing boxing. Compared to a few years ago, with Chen Yuan and Wang Ping's deterrence, the development here was also flourishing.

Guo Xu, Zhao Nanshan's eldest disciple, was still teaching the newly introduced disciples in a methodical manner.

His cultivation had also reached the Bone Tempering level.

Chen Yuan glanced over it and quickly came to the backyard.

In sight was Zhao Nanshan. Compared to the last time they met, his face was older, the wrinkles on his face had increased a lot, and his figure was also a lot hunched in his eyes.

He was currently in a light sleep.

Chen Yuan revealed his true form without disturbing him, but smiled and waved his hand casually. A flash of light passed, and a jade box appeared silently on the new stone table in front of him.

This thing was the Black Jade Regenerating Ointment, famous throughout the Jianghu!

Before, Chen Yuan couldn't get it because his status was limited, but in the capital, where the elites gathered, it wasn't that difficult to find this thing. He got it by paying some price.

It could also be regarded as repaying Zhao Nanshan's previous kindness.

Repaying a drop of kindness with a spring, this had always been his code of conduct.

After putting down the Black Jade Regenerating Ointment, Chen Yuan's figure soared into the sky, crossed the horizon, and headed straight for Tangshan!

About a quarter of an hour after Chen Yuan left.

A gust of breeze blew a strand of Zhao Nanshan's gray hair on his face. He, who was in a light sleep, woke up slowly. Just as he was about to stretch his body, his eyes suddenly stopped and fixed on the jade box in front of him.

Opening it, it was the Black Jade Regenerating Ointment he had been dreaming of.

After rubbing his eyes and confirming that he hadn't seen wrong, he suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of Tangshan. After staring for a long time, he smiled softly:

"This kid, he came without even saying hello..."
