Chen Yuan's eyes were indifferent, but looked a bit contemptuous to the middle-aged man, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, but looking at Chen Yuan's black cloud uniform, he didn't dare to express it after all.
He knew very well what kind of yamen the Tianxun Tiansi was.
"My lord also said that what happened at noon, and now that the bandits have disappeared, my lord should pursue them instead of patrolling here for any traces."
The middle-aged man moved his lips and whispered.
Chen Yuan glanced at the middle-aged man with indifferent eyes:
"Who are you? How dare you obstruct the Sky Patrol Department from doing its work."
Gritting his teeth, the middle-aged man introduced himself:
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. This place is related to a certain adult in Fucheng. I don't want to cause any rift with you, but don't go too far."
"Do you mean not to let me in?"
Chen Yuan looked directly at him, his calm eyes giving the middle-aged man a chill for no reason.
"No one is allowed in here."
Although he sensed a danger, the middle-aged man still refused with a cold face. Inside was the finest Chiyang ore, which was extremely valuable.
The news must never get out.
The order he had received before was not to allow anyone else to enter.
I just don’t know why these people from the Sky Survey Department came here to investigate, and why... Sun Yuan didn’t stop him and put the pressure on himself.
Just as he was talking, a horse galloped in the direction of here in the distance. The middle-aged man took a closer look and saw that it was Sun Yuan's close subordinate, and he immediately felt confident.
No matter what, Sun Yuan is also the parent official of Qingshui County, so it is impossible for the Patrol Division to not give him any face.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you for disobeying the imperial order?" Chen Yuan glanced at the approaching cavalry and said to the middle-aged man.
Anger welled up in his heart. The middle-aged man felt that the patrol angel in front of him was a little too disrespectful of him. His previous patience was of no use, and his tone became colder:
"If you have the ability, just kill him."
He has been guarding this place for half a year. He also served in the Nanling Mansion before. He has some impressions of several patrol angels of the Tianxun Division. He does not say he knows them, but he has seen them.
But he had never seen the young patrol angel in front of him before. He secretly guessed that he must have recently come to power. The uneasiness in his heart began to dissipate under the influence of psychology.
Not to mention whether the patrol angel in front of him dared to make a move, he was not afraid even if he did.
Chen Yuan nodded indifferently, and his left hand that had been holding the handle of the knife moved instantly. There was a distance of about two feet between the two of them, and they came closer with one step.
The middle-aged man realized something was wrong and just wanted to retreat, but it was already too late at such a close distance. The last scene he saw was a bright light.
Immediately afterwards, the whole person looked like a torn piece of clothing, split in half symmetrically from head to toe.
Bright red blood splashed everywhere, and the two halves of the body were cut several feet away by the force.
The crowd was extremely silent. They stared blankly at Chen Yuan, who started killing people at the slightest disagreement, without any reaction. Some people swallowed their saliva and their legs trembled a little.
Chen Yuan slowly put the Yanling sword back into its sheath and said to Mo Donghe beside him:
"Chen has been practicing for many years, and this is the first time he has seen such a request. Since he wants to die, I will be kind enough to satisfy him."
Mo Donghe squeezed out a smile on his stiff face:
"My lord, what I'm saying is that I have never seen such a person actively seeking death even in my humble position."
The galloping horses in the distance came closer. The man on the horse tied the reins, neighed, and froze on the spot. He didn't expect that he was still a step too late.
The two sides were already fighting, and yet... the battle was resolved so quickly.
Chen Yuan's look made Mo Donghe understand, and he jumped up to the man. He put the Yanling knife firmly on the man's neck, and then lightly slapped him with the back of the knife, causing him to fall off the horse.
He was escorted to Chen Yuan.
"Who sent you?"
Chen Yuan asked.
"The county...your lord, the county magistrate."
The man didn't dare to hide it when he saw the blood on the ground.
"Why are you here?"
"Tell Cheng Tao not to stop Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen from doing anything."
After Chen Yuan left, Sun Yuan realized that even if Chen Yuan was asked to search, there would be no conflict, otherwise the trap might be bigger.
At the worst possible outcome, let the adult in Fucheng suppress the matter.
He finally figured it out. Chen Yuan was a moody guy. He really dared to take action when he said it, and he was so powerful that he could even kill the old blood demon, let alone Cheng Tao who was at the Qi level?
So he immediately ordered the people around him to go to Chiyang Mountain. Unfortunately, it was still a step too late. No... it was not too late. At least he saw Cheng Tao's death.
It's ridiculous that Cheng Tao thought that Sun Yuan sent people to support him and to persuade these people from the Tianxun Division to leave.
After taking a look at the corpse on the ground, Chen Yuan thought to himself that this guy's name was Cheng Tao, and then looked at the man again and said:
"Don't leave once you're here, Dong He, keep an eye on him."
Mo Donghe nodded and motioned to the two people beside him to tie up the man.
The man sent by Sun Yuan was very cooperative and reached out his hand very proactively, which made one of the patrol guards who wanted to beat him curl his lips.
After seeing Cheng Tao's death, the man had no intention of resisting.
"Who is most familiar with the mine?"
Chen Yuan looked calmly at the group of absentees, including the trembling supervisors.
No one dared to answer the first question, but under the temptation of Chen Yuan's big stick and sweet dates, an old man who was not young took the initiative to stand up and expressed his willingness to lead the way for Chen Yuan.
Seeing that he was so understanding, Chen Yuan was not stingy and directly threw him five taels of silver to encourage him.
The old man was extremely happy. Working in the mine for a year only earned five taels of silver. Those who had not stepped forward before could not help but regret it.
He looked at the silver in the old miner's hands with burning eyes.
But with Chen Yuan here, no one dared to act rashly.
After leaving the situation outside to Mo Donghe, Chen Yuan walked into the mine under the leadership of the old miner.
With Mo Donghe's strength and the help of several sky patrols at the bone refining level, people outside could not make any waves at all.
Watching Chen Yuan's retreating figure, Mo Donghe's eyes moved slightly thoughtfully. They came this time to investigate the traces of the bandits who were causing trouble, but as far as he knew, it seemed that the group of people had not entered the mine. Go inside the hole.
Then Chen Yuan's actions have to make people think deeply.
There is definitely another purpose...
But he just thought about it briefly. Even if Chen Yuan had any purpose, he didn't dare to go into it. Chen Yuan was very considerate of him and valued him very much.
He is relatively loyal to his boss.
Moreover, this had nothing to do with him. Chen Yuan came out to perform the mission because he believed in him and gave him a chance to practice. Naturally, he would not stupidly ask Chen Yuan why he went to the mine.
...
...
Entering the mine, Chen Yuan opened his Dharma Eyes, and the blue light in his eyes flickered from time to time, but because the old miner held a torch in his hand, it was not too conspicuous.
The old miner led the way and did not dare to ask anything.
When he came in before, Chen Yuan had already made it clear to him. When he went deeper into the mine, he found that the journey was smooth with almost no twists and turns.
This mine is connected in all directions, and it's really easy to get lost in it if there's no one to guide you.
"Sir... Your Majesty, it's almost the end ahead, and there's still no digging ahead."
The old man stopped and pointed forward.
The ground was full of gravel, and Chen Yuan even saw dead bones in some places. The broken Chiyang ore was slightly red, reflecting some light under the firelight.
Green light flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes, and he looked around with himself as the center. When he saw the front left, Chen Yuan's movements stopped slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He saw it!
Opportunity was shining with a fiery red light, seeming to be calling him.
"Let's stop here. You go back first. I want to investigate carefully. Also... when you go back, tell the officer in charge not to let anyone come in and disturb me."
Chen Yuan ordered the old miner.
He had no intention of killing anyone, and the red light only revealed some of it, which the old miner couldn't see. Chen Yuan guessed that he was still inside, and he might have to turn into a miner to mine.
"Yes Yes..."
The old miner nodded hurriedly, and then quickly retreated.
Although he bravely led the way for the sake of the money, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart. He always felt that the money was not secure.
He was even afraid that he would discover some shocking secret.
Fortunately, everything was safe.
After the old miner left, the entire mine became quieter. Chen Yuan explored it and walked straight to the end of the mine. Looking at the pitted cave wall, Chen Yuan reached out and touched it.
The red sunstone ore is still very hard and is firmly embedded in it.
His legs were tense, the dark golden light of Chen Yuan's right arm flashed, and he suddenly punched forward. The dust fell away, revealing a large pit. Chen Yuan nodded, then held the handle of the knife and struck out with a dark black sword. The sword flashed and broke out of the body.
As long as he got the Xuanyang Divine Crystal, Chen Yuan could start to break through. This feeling was indescribable. After a quarter of an hour of Chen Yuan's efforts, a nearly ten feet of mine was opened in front of him.
Seeing the red light in front of him shining brighter and brighter, Chen Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and slashed out again.
"boom!"
This time, unlike before, no big hole was opened. The wall of the cave in front of him was actually broken open, and it was hollow inside!
There is another cave inside.
Chen Yuan bent down and entered. The space inside was not large, only a few feet, but it was more than enough to accommodate Chen Yuan alone. After entering, Chen Yuan's eyes were attracted by a prismatic object.
It was a crystal that was glowing with red light. A burning feeling came from the crystal. Chen Yuan closed his eyes without any further confirmation.
This thing is his chance, Xuanyang Divine Crystal!

I won’t reveal the mystery yet, but I can tell you that someone has already guessed how many people are on the Hidden Dragon List. When it is revealed, a certain book friend will join the group.
