Jiuyuan Fucheng.
In a relatively luxurious restaurant, Chen Yuan and his group of more than ten people were sitting at two tables. The Five Elements Ghost Boys were all wearing black robes to cover their faces. They were sitting quietly aside under the leadership of Zhao Beishan.
Chen Yuanzai, on the other hand, was sitting at a table with Yueshan Mo Donghe and several other people. He lowered his eyes while eating his food, and raised his ears to listen to the bustling discussions around him.
After leaving Nanling Mansion that day, Chen Yuan and others changed into the clothes of ordinary Jianghu people and quickly rushed towards Jiuyuan Mansion, because the Yuankong Realm guided by the Yuankong Order was within the scope of Jiuyuan Mansion.
After about eight or nine days, several people finally arrived here.
Today is the second day in Jiuyuan Mansion. After a night's rest, Chen Yuan immediately decided to wait and see what was going on. So after asking around, he came to this restaurant with the highest standard in Jiuyuan Mansion City.
Behind it is said to be controlled by a large force in Jiuyuan Mansion.
The most sensitive information.
Not long after he sat down, Chen Yuan knew that he had come to the right place, because there were several tables of people around him talking in low voices about things he cared about, and the words 'Yuan Kong Realm' would pop up from time to time.
As for the people at the table who were discussing the Yuan Kong Realm, Chen Yuan's cultivation level was similar to that of Chen Yuan. The weakest person was also a Qi cultivation level, and there was even a Tongxuan master among them.
It was an old man with a sallow complexion and a stooped figure. His aura was very suppressed. If Chen Yuan hadn't sensed the strongness, it would have been difficult to detect it for a while.
The other party also seemed to be aware of it, and looked at Chen Yuan calmly, and then the two parties withdrew their gaze in a tacit understanding.
Of course, the main reason why Chen Yuan was able to lock onto this person so quickly was because of the strange movement of the Yuan Kong Ling, which gave him a slightly burning feeling, as if he was attracted to the same sex.
He has a Yuan Kong Token in his hand!
However, this has little to do with him, and he has no interest in snatching it. After all, he already has it in his hands, and this thing is just equivalent to a ticket.
And even if they were snatched, it would be of no use. All of his men were just cultivators of Ning Gang. Entering the Yuan Kong Realm would only lead to death, and they would also create enemies out of thin air.
It's not that he's afraid, he just doesn't think it's necessary.
"There are more and more people coming these days, and I don't know who has treasures like Yuan Kong Ling in their hands!" someone at the table next to Chen Yuan muttered.
There was a look of envy on his face.
"If the news hadn't come out, we wouldn't have known that the Dimensional Space Realm would actually be in Jiuyuan Mansion this time." Another person nodded.
Chen Yuan's heart moved, and he realized that someone was actually deliberately leaking the news about the Yuan Kong Realm, and now it has begun to spread...
"It is said that the Sky Patrol Qing Envoy of Jiuyuan Mansion has said that he is willing to exchange ten Yuan Crystals for one Yuan Kong Token."
"Haha... whoever takes it seriously is a fool. What if they don't give you the Yuan Kong Realm after they get it? I'll just put you in jail for any crime.
These court eagle dogs, huh. "
Some people seemed to have strong opinions on the Tianxian Division, and their tone was dissatisfied.
"Brother Wang, please be careful. It is said that there are many spies from the Sky Patrol Division, so there might be some around." Another man at the same table quickly stopped him.
The person who spoke before also knew that trouble came from his mouth, and his eyes wandered around uneasily. He was relieved when he saw that no one heard his muttering.
In the inn, the bustling continued.
Chen Yuan drank the wine calmly, opening his eyes from time to time, hoping to find his son of destiny. Unfortunately, he didn't notice anything unusual after entering Jiuyuan Mansion.
From far to near, a somewhat familiar voice made Chen Yuan couldn't help but raise his head and look sideways.
"Junior Sister Xiao, Yuan Kong Realm is too dangerous and you are not suitable to enter."
"Senior Brother Gu, I have broken through to the Tongxuan Realm, why can't I enter?"
A clear female voice sounded.
"The master has given orders before leaving the mountain gate. All of this trip..." Before Gu Hao, who was wearing a green shirt and carrying a sword, had finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Yuan as if he sensed something. direction.
Then, his heart was shocked, and his brows furrowed slightly. Of course he remembered who the person looking at him was. If it weren't for him, Liu Changkong's death would not have been so smooth.
Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed through his eyes.
Gu Hao!
Liu Changkong's senior brother, it was Liu Changkong who dared to challenge him in public in the first place, and it was precisely because of Tang Qian and Jinshan Temple's legal difficulties that he came forward to put pressure on him.
He has already verified this with Shi Yunlong.
I thought we would meet in Qingzhou City in the future, but today was a coincidence.
Chen Yuan must kill him without a doubt.
No one who opposes him can survive!
Moreover, he always felt that Gu Hao's role in the battle between him and Liu Changkong was a bit fake. He actually didn't take revenge on him afterwards, as if the incident had really passed.
But the more this happened, the more he thought about it.
If there is a chance, I will definitely meet him.
He is no longer the same person he was back then. On the 21st of that year, he stood like a minion. On the 22nd of this year, Qianlong rises, breaks through the realm, and reaches the top fifty on the Qianlong list.
Coupled with the Taoist Palace behind him, he is now worthy of him in every aspect.
And in the Hidden Dragon Ranking, Gu Hao was only two places ahead of him.
No. 40 on the Hidden Dragon List, Feiyu Sword, Gu Hao!
When Chen Yuan stared at Gu Hao, Gu Hao was also staring at him.
The atmosphere between the two was a bit anxious. Gu Hao's expression was calm, but there was still a slight hint of surprise and suspicion. Although he was not in Nanling Mansion, he had obviously heard of Chen Yuan's name.
The time that really attracted his attention was when Chen Yuan entered the top 100 of the Qianlong list. At first, he thought it was just the same name and did not associate it with him.
But as more and more news came into his hands, he was certain that the demon sword Chen Yuan was the patrol angel who killed Liu Changkong.
But what he didn't expect was that Chen Yuan grew up so fast and was now on the same level as him...
The silent look between the two people also attracted many people's comments. Yue Shan and others calmly held their weapons, while Junior Sister Xiao next to Gu Hao looked at the two of them suspiciously, wondering what they were thinking about. .
In the end, it was Gu Hao who broke the silence. He nodded slightly, took a few steps forward, and said calmly:
"It's true that we never meet again in life, Mr. Chen, it's been a long time."
Chen Yuan curled up the corner of his mouth and forced out a smile:
"It's rare that Brother Gu still remembers Chen."
"The name of the demon sword spread throughout Qingzhou, how could Gu forget it?" Gu Haopi looked at Chen Yuan with a smile.
'Demon sword...' The woman named Xiao frowned, looked at Gu Hao and asked:
"he is?"
Gu Hao turned his eyes and introduced warmly: "This is Mr. Chen Yuanchen, the 42nd person on the Hidden Dragon List, who was given the nickname Demon Sword. By the way, he was the one that Junior Brother Liu challenged before."
A slight chill flashed in the eyes of the woman named Xiao, and she looked directly at Chen Yuan: "Did you kill Junior Brother Liu?"
Chen Yuan nodded indifferently and sneered: "Not only did I kill him, but I also had his entire family wiped out. Do you have any objections?"
"You..." The woman named Xiao's tone was choked.
Seeing this, Gu Hao's heart sank, knowing that Junior Sister Xiao had not forgotten the guy named Liu, he immediately said:
"Master Chen, this is my junior sister Xiao Qingmu." (mu)
Chen Yuan glanced at Xiao Qingmu. He was tall, wearing a long purple dress, with curved eyebrows, and his skin was like cream. He had a good appearance, but after knowing his identity, his face was slightly cold, and he seemed to have a lot of objections to him. .
"Master Chen, as an official of the imperial court, how can he act so cruelly?" Xiao Qingmu said in a deep voice.
"What's wrong with the Liu family colluding with demons to harm the people and destroy their entire family? If it's about cruelty, you might as well go to Cao County and find out what evil things the Liu family has done."
"I have always been sworn in with crime, how can I sit back and watch the Liu family harm others?"
Chen Yuan's face straightened up, and his whole body's aura instantly changed, becoming extremely righteous.
Xiao Qingmu frowned, she was really shocked by Chen Yuan's behavior. Did the Liu family really deserve it?
Gu Hao sneered in his heart, didn't others know that he didn't know what was going on? This is just Chen Yuan's rhetoric. In other words, no one who acts in the Tianxian Division is like this.
After Chen Yuan revealed his identity, the faces of the men at the table who had complained about the Tianxian Division suddenly changed. With panic in their hearts, they quickly winked at a few friends around him and left the inn.
"Did Mr. Chen exaggerate? As far as Gu knows, the Liu family was just accused of being destroyed when they were destroyed, and it was not really about colluding with the devil."
Gu Hao interrupted at the right time.
It was impossible for him to reconcile with Chen Yuan. Not only that, he had to show hostility, firstly to make Junior Sister Xiao fall in love with him, and secondly for outsiders to see.
The fact that he almost fought with Nanlingqing envoy Tao Qingyuan for the sake of his junior brother earned him a lot of reputation and shaped himself into a good senior brother who stood up for his junior brother.
Even the head of the sect asked him once and expressed his approval for his behavior in protecting his disciples.
Now that he is facing the murderer of Junior Brother Liu, it is even more impossible for him to show a warm look. If given the chance, defeating Chen Yuan in public will increase his reputation.
Of course, facing the rising Chen Yuan, he was still quite cautious.
Chen Yuan smiled, looked directly at Gu Hao and said word by word:
"I said colluding with demonic demons, and the Liu family is colluding with demonic demons. You want to stand up for the Liu family, okay. Are you ready to die?"
After hearing Chen Yuan's threatening words, Gu Hao couldn't help but feel a hint of anger on his face. He turned his head and glanced at Junior Sister Xiao beside him, and saw that he was looking at him with a burning gaze, and then said:
"It is said that the Demon Sword Chen Yuan is ruthless and arrogant. Today Gu has seen it. Why, Mr. Chen, do you want to test whether the sword in my hand is sharp?"
"Uh-huh!"
The Yanling sword in Chen Yuan's hand was half unsheathed in an instant. He stood up slowly with a calm expression and said:
"My sword is not bad at all!"
