"Well, not bad."

That was Jiang He's reply, still so concise, still so indifferent.

After that, Chen Yuan inquired with great concern about the exact location of the Dragon Vein land. In his opinion, since that Senior Molo was able to create the Dao Divine Palace,

and according to Su Ziyue, he did so by using an incarnation or something, he should know where he was being suppressed. Asking was just to confirm it.

But to his surprise, after Jiang He pondered for a moment, he did not directly reveal the location of the Dragon Vein. According to him, the Dragon Vein concerned the fate of the nation,

obscuring the secrets of heaven.

Even Senior Molo didn't know exactly where he was suppressed, only that it was within the Imperial City. Because the Dragon Vein wasn't just in one place, or rather,

the Dragon Vein was very large, not just confined to one location.

However, after the deduction of several Dao Lords of the Dao Divine Palace, they still found several places that were most likely where Senior Molo was being suppressed. And all these places were within the Imperial City.

This was also why the Dao Divine Palace hoped that Chen Yuan could become the commander of the Imperial City, hoping that he could have a convenient identity to explore these places within two months.

As mentioned before, the Imperial City was very large, not inferior to Tangshan Prefecture City.

Because the Imperial City had mountains, which were the imperial tombs, most of the area was actually unusable. But even excluding these, the Imperial City was still very large.

After some conversation, Chen Yuan kept in mind the several places Jiang He mentioned. He couldn't help but feel a little thorny about it. One place was near the imperial harem.

That was where the emperor's concubines resided. Without an imperial edict, foreign officials would have a hard time entering.

......

......

The next day.

Early morning.

Chen Yuan casually had some breakfast in the inn, washed up, and neatly put on his Black Cloud Uniform of the Celestial Patrol Envoy, looking at the figure reflected in the mirror.

Anyone would have to praise him, handsome!

The headquarters of the Celestial Patrol Agency was located near the Imperial City, actually within the scope of the Imperial City. Some of the official agencies of the court were basically adjacent to the Imperial City.

One reason was convenience, and the other was that the Imperial City was so large that it could accommodate these agencies.

Compared to the ordinary Celestial Patrol Agencies in various prefectures, the headquarters in the capital city was undoubtedly more magnificent, a very imposing agency, occupying a vast area.

The Celestial Patrol Agency was self-sufficient, and even had a Sky Prison inside to suppress and capture martial artists from all over the country.

And this place was also an agency that made many people tremble. Almost no one dared to pass in front of the door. Chen Yuan walked forward with a calm expression. A Celestial Patrol Guard saw the blue envoy's official uniform on Chen Yuan and immediately stepped forward to inquire.

When he learned that he was the famous Demon Blade Chen Yuan, the leading Celestial Patrol Commander immediately walked forward with his eyes lit up, cupping his hands and saying:

"Are you Envoy Chen?"

"Chen is the one."

Chen Yuan didn't hide it and immediately handed him his blue envoy token.

After the Celestial Patrol Commander, who was at the Tongxuan Realm, checked it, he returned the token in his hand to Chen Yuan very politely. Although they were both in the position of blue envoy,

there was a huge gap between them.

Not to mention that Chen Yuan had already formed his Core and advanced to Grandmaster, his reputation in the Jianghu was not only unmatched by blue envoys, but even many Celestial Patrol Gold Envoys were inferior to him.

Of course, a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, if an ordinary blue envoy came, he probably wouldn't even greet him.

The officials in the capital always felt that they were half a level higher than the officials below. Otherwise, Tao Qingyuan wouldn't have tried so hard to protect Zhang Xuan, just to get an in.

"Greetings, Envoy Chen."

"I was ordered by several Divine Envoys to come to pay a visit. This envoy should report it as soon as possible." Chen Yuan nodded and said softly.

Hearing the words "Divine Envoys," the Celestial Patrol Envoy did not dare to delay at all and quickly ordered the Celestial Patrol Guard beside him to go in and report. In a moment, the Celestial Patrol Guard ran out in a hurry and said respectfully:

"Envoy Chen, the four Divine Envoys are waiting in the main hall."

"What?"

Hearing this sentence, the blue envoy's pupils shrank instantly. Suppressing the shock in his heart, he quickly said:

"Envoy Chen, I will take you in."

"Thank you."

How glorious was it for the Divine Envoys to wait specifically? Probably even the Gold Envoys from various states wouldn't have such an honor. The blue envoy didn't dare to hesitate at all.

He quickly led Chen Yuan through the Celestial Patrol Agency.

Originally, he wanted to make friends with Chen Yuan and chat for a while, but now he didn't have such thoughts. If he delayed the Divine Envoy's time,

he wouldn't have enough heads to be chopped off.

The headquarters of the Celestial Patrol Agency was as large as Chen Yuan had imagined. As far as the eye could see, there were rows of palaces and pavilions, with extraordinary momentum, and there were many martial artists walking around.

Most of them were blue envoys at the Tongxuan level. He only sensed two auras of Grandmasters at the Dan Realm level.

"Envoy Chen, we're here."

The Tongxuan Realm martial artist pointed to the main hall ahead and said.

Like other Celestial Patrol Agencies, the headquarters' deliberation hall was also called Celestial Patrol Hall, but the specifications were even more powerful. A powerful coercion emanated from the plaque above.

After another report, Chen Yuan was finally able to enter the main hall.

There were four figures wearing Divine Envoy uniforms sitting inside, two on the left and two on the right. As for the main seat at the top, it was vacant. He had already seen three of them, and only one he hadn't seen. But he also knew who this person was in his heart.

Heavenly Divine Envoy, Xiao Jing!

He was also the strongest Divine Envoy among the four Divine Envoys of the Celestial Patrol Agency, rumored in the Jianghu. Some people said that he was very likely to be the next Grand Commander of the Celestial Patrol Agency.

Only he had no faction and had always been focused on cultivation, suppressing the important place of the Sky Prison.

Xiao Jing's appearance was ordinary, unremarkable at first glance. The pressure on his body was also the smallest, but the more so, the more Chen Yuan dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

"This subordinate, Chen Yuan, greets all the adults!"

Chen Yuan bowed and clasped his fists, looking at the ground.

"Rise."

Zhang Yantong said.

"Thank you, sir."

Chen Yuan raised his head, looked straight ahead, neither humble nor arrogant.

Xiao Jing, who was sitting in the first seat on the left, looked Chen Yuan up and down and said lightly:

"This time you defeated Yang Yuanqing in the fight, which can be regarded as a breath of fresh air for my Celestial Patrol Agency. His Majesty appointed you as the commander of Donghuang City. Remember to act cautiously in the future."

"Don't worry, sir. This subordinate understands."

"These are your official uniform transfer orders. If there is nothing else, take office today. The position of Commander of Donghuang City has been vacant for half a month. Don't delay too long."

"Yes, this subordinate understands."

"Well, go down."

"If there is anything in the future, you can directly report it to us Divine Envoys." Wu Tianxi looked at Chen Yuan with a faint smile and said.

"Yes."

"Retreat for now."

"This subordinate takes his leave." Chen Yuan cupped his hands, then picked up the official uniform placed aside, turned around, and left the Celestial Patrol Hall. He thought that several Divine Envoys would give him some pointers today.

Unexpectedly, they just met him and gave him the official uniform and transfer order.

But there was no disappointment. They didn't expect these Divine Envoys to say anything shocking. This...was good. Next, he would take office at the Donghuang City Agency!

After Chen Yuan left, the Divine Envoys began to talk. Wu Tianxi chuckled softly:

"Brother Xiao, what do you think of this boy?"

"Not bad, extraordinary talent, not surprised by honor or disgrace, and Jiang He's man. It's really a blessing for my Celestial Patrol Agency. When the Grand Commander leaves seclusion and sees such a good seedling, he will definitely be delighted."

Xiao Jing showed a smile.

During internal deliberations, even if the Divine Envoys had conflicts, they wouldn't show them most of the time. Moreover, with him suppressing them, as the head of the four Divine Envoys,

the other three Divine Envoys would also give him face.

In his eyes, Chen Yuan was indeed a good seedling, the first on the Hidden Dragon List, able to defeat Yang Yuanqing, who had a Solid Core cultivation, with a Void Core cultivation. No matter where he was placed, he was a rare genius.

"Chen Yuan's aptitude is indeed superb. I'm afraid the Grand Commander will take him by his side and teach him personally after he leaves seclusion. In a few years, there may be a place for him among us."

Zhang Yantong echoed.

"Brother Zhang is really lucky. This Chen Yuan is close to you. In a few hundred years, I'm afraid the Zhang family will have to rely on Chen Yuan's power." Wu Tianxi's tone was a bit envious.

Transforming Yang Immortals are not so easily broken through. Each one is rare in the world. They are also considering their future. Although they are in their prime,

if there is really an accident in the future, they still have to see how strong the family's legacy is.

After all, the current situation in the world is unstable, and many forces are eager to make a move. No one can say when the troubled times will come.

And once the troubled times come, these Transforming Yang level Celestial Patrol Divine Envoys will inevitably be on the front line.

"In my opinion, Jiang He is very close to Transforming Yang. I'm afraid it won't be long before he will be transferred back to the capital to take office." Zuo Tiancheng said in a deep voice.

"Not necessarily. The current situation in the court is not good. Qingzhou is located in the hinterland, close to Xuezhou. His Majesty may still let Jiang He continue to suppress Qingzhou to prevent the demons and monsters from causing trouble."

"That's right. In peaceful times, a Dan Realm Grandmaster is enough to sit in a state, but now the Jianghu situation is treacherous. Several of the Ten Immortal Sects are eager to make a move.

His Majesty may not have the idea of ​​having a Transforming Yang Immortal guard a state."

Zhang Yantong, Wu Tianxi, and others were discussing the major events in the world, each with their own opinion.

Xiao Jing, who was at the head, tapped his fingers on the table, changed the subject, and said in a deep voice:

"Cao Zhengxian, that eunuch dog, has indeed been jumping around too happily recently. Even if it is His Majesty's intention, we can no longer back down. If we wait until the Grand Commander leaves seclusion, he will inevitably be angry at us."

"His Majesty's orders cannot be violated."

"Yes, His Majesty is still His Majesty. If it wasn't for his authorization, how dare Cao Zhengxian, that old dog, encroach on the interests of my Celestial Patrol Agency?"

"The four Commanders of the Imperial City have already given up two. We must never give up another one in the future. Even if Chen Yuan loses this time, I will reject it."

Xiao Jing said with a solemn expression.

The other Divine Envoys suddenly stopped talking and focused their gazes on him at the same time. After a moment, someone asked:

"When will the Grand Commander leave seclusion?"

"Yes..."

"Not far off."

Xiao Jing stared into the distance and said lightly.

......

......

Back at the inn, Chen Yuan changed out of his new official uniform. Although it was still a Black Cloud Uniform, the patterns on the clothes were very different. The Commander of the Imperial City was ranked as a fifth-grade official.

Seemingly the same as the prefects below, martial artists were different from civil officials. With his power, even a fourth-grade governor would be inferior.

Without much delay, Chen Yuan prepared to take office today!

The Commander of the Imperial City belonged to the Celestial Patrol Agency, but the agency was not inside it. Instead, they were independent agencies. The Donghuang City Agency was naturally located near it.

This place was considered to be the more important city gate among the four Imperial City Commanders. Every time there was a court meeting, half of the officials would enter the Imperial City from here.

Most importantly, this place was very close to the imperial harem!

The Donghuang City Agency, also known as Donghuang Department.

Following the route he knew, Chen Yuan rushed over very quickly. Although there was no Commander in charge, this place was not chaotic, and was still in good order.

There were six Celestial Patrol Guards guarding the gate. The leader was a Celestial Patrol Envoy with a Ninggang cultivation. Seeing a figure approaching calmly from a distance, he took a look and was immediately shocked.

He didn't recognize the person, but he recognized the official uniform on him.

It was a fourth-grade Black Cloud official uniform, embroidered with patterns, with a dark bronze badge on the chest. This was also the difference between it and the Gold Envoy's. The official uniform of a Gold Envoy in a state had golden patterns on it.

He quickly led several Celestial Patrol Guards forward and bowed, saying in unison:

"This subordinate greets, sir. May I ask what is the matter for sir to come to my Donghuang Department Agency?"

Chen Yuan's gaze swept over the people, and without doing anything else, he directly revealed his true identity and said lightly, "I am the new Grand Commander of the Donghuang City Division."

"Grand Commander of the Imperial City!"

Hearing these words, the people who were originally bowing all knelt on one knee at the same time:

"This subordinate greets, sir!"

They didn't think this person was here to deceive them. Doing such a thing near the Imperial City was simply courting death.

"Take this official inside."

"Please, sir."

The Celestial Patrol Guards who had just stood up immediately stood up. The leading Celestial Patrol Envoy instructed the Celestial Patrol Guards beside him and led Chen Yuan into the agency with a bow.

He hadn't received any news about the new Commander of the Imperial City. His colleagues in the agency hadn't heard of it either. Therefore, there was no grand scene for Chen Yuan's inauguration.

He didn't blame anyone. When the emperor appointed him yesterday, only a few people knew about it. And the gap between them and these ordinary Celestial Patrol Guards was too great to know about it.

However, the few Deputy Commanders in the Imperial City might know.

"This subordinate is Wang Teng. May I ask what is your sir's honorable name?"

The Celestial Patrol Envoy who had just spoken asked respectfully.

He had been in the Donghuang City Division for many years, and he had met several Dan Realm Grandmasters in the Celestial Patrol Agency, but the sir in front of him was very unfamiliar.

Most importantly, this sir looked very young, which made him a little curious.

Many people knew about Chen Yuan's arrival in the capital and his fight with Yang Yuanqing, but the information was limited, and he hadn't heard about it at all.

Perhaps with the passage of time, this matter would gradually spread.

"My official's surname is Chen."

"Sir Chen."

"Good foundation, has the potential to reach the Dan Realm!" Chen Yuan patted Wang Teng on the shoulder.

These words were not nonsense. The Celestial Patrol Envoy named Wang Teng had a stable aura, and it could be seen that his foundation was solid. He was not too old, around thirty years old.

He did have some Dan Realm potential.

As for how big the chance was, no one could determine.

"Thank you, sir, for the praise."

Wang Teng had a happy expression. Being praised by a Dan Realm Grandmaster was not a simple matter, and it was something worth boasting about.

The Donghuang City Division wasn't big, similar to the Celestial Patrol Agency of the prefectures below. Chen Yuan's arrival attracted great attention, especially Wang Teng's humility and the official uniform on him, which made many Celestial Patrol Guards look sideways.

Going straight ahead, Chen Yuan was led to the deliberation hall.

Chen Yuan slowly sat down and looked at Wang Teng, instructing:

"Summon all the on-duty martial artists above the Celestial Patrol Envoy level in the Donghuang City Division to the deliberation hall."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!"

Wang Teng felt a sense of importance and quickly walked out of the hall to instruct the surrounding Celestial Patrol Envoys. Soon, the entire Donghuang City Division was in an uproar.

The new Commander of the Imperial City has arrived!!!

This was no small matter. Following Wang Teng's instructions, in less than a quarter of an hour, all the on-duty Ninggang and above martial artists of the Imperial City Division knew about this news.

They quickly began to gather towards the deliberation hall.

"This subordinate, Yang Shu, greets Commander."

"This subordinate, Liu Sandao, greets Commander."

"This subordinate, Wu Konghai, greets Commander."

One by one, the Celestial Patrol Envoys with Ninggang cultivation bowed and paid their respects from outside the hall.

Sitting at the head, Chen Yuan's gaze slowly swept over the six people, frowning and saying:

"Are you the only six on duty today?"

"Reporting to Commander, two others have taken leave of absence today, and the others are not on duty."

"What about the Deputy Commanders?"

Several Celestial Patrol Envoys looked at each other, and Wang Teng said:

"Reporting, sir, this subordinate has already sent someone to inform Deputy Commander Tao, and he should be on his way now. As for the other three Deputy Commanders, one is on leave of absence today, and two are not on duty."

"Hmm?"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, could it be that a few Deputy Commanders dared to make things difficult for him?

Just as he was thinking, a report came from outside, and the Celestial Patrol Guard said loudly:

"Sir, Deputy Commander Tao requests an audience."

"Let him in."

Chen Yuan said lightly.

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, a figure that Chen Yuan was very familiar with slowly walked into the hall. His appearance was very upright, his eyebrows were thicker than others, his lips were thick, his body was not tall, but he looked very stable, his nose was high, and his eyes were quite calm.

This person was none other than Chen Yuan's old superior, Tao Qingyuan!

To be honest, the first time he saw him, Chen Yuan felt that the world was impermanent. He originally thought about exploring where Tao Qingyuan was working after he settled down.

He didn't expect that the other party was actually in the Donghuang City Division and was still a Deputy Commander under his command.

And the one who really felt the impermanence of the world was Tao Qingyuan. When he learned that the new Commander had taken office, he didn't delay at all and came to pay his respects.

As a result, when he looked up, it was actually his former subordinate, Chen Yuan.

Suppressing the surprise and loneliness in his heart, Tao Qingyuan walked forward with a calm expression, as if he didn't know him, bowed and clasped his fists:

"Donghuang City Division Deputy Commander Tao Qingyuan, greets Commander!"

Chen Yuan smiled, and an invisible force lifted his body, saying lightly:
