Chapter 131 -124: Take Action! (Subscribe please)

“Crack…”

A sound of shattering echoed from within Song Ren’s arm.

Dark Force!

Chen Yuan merely lightly caressed Song Ren’s right arm, and it immediately hung limply as if it were broken.

Grinding his teeth in pain and ignoring the injury to his right arm, Song Ren reached with his left arm towards Chen Yuan’s neck.

“Crack…”

Chen Yuan stepped forward, grabbed Song Ren’s left arm, and disabled it. Then, he did the same to both of Song Ren’s legs.

In the blink of an eye during their confrontation, Song Ren had lost all his combat power, collapsing to the ground like a lump of mud, with most of the bones in his body shattered.

Such injuries would render him crippled for life!

He gasped for air, cold sweat streaming down his face, his teeth clenched as he endured the bone-deep pain, his face showing defeat and regret.

Defeated by his own arrogance, believing that few in the Bone Refining Martial Artists of Nanling Prefecture could match him. Yet with a simple wave of his hand, Chen Yuan had broken his bones, leaving him disabled.

He would never be able to handle a spear again in his life.

Both of them…

As for regret, he regretted not understanding Chen Yuan’s capabilities before attempting the assassination. This wasn’t an assassination; it was practically suicide!

Not far away, two men with bleeding arms supported themselves against the wall, trying to flee.

Chen Yuan’s strength was terrifying, far beyond their ability to contend with.

Without a master of the Gang Condensation Realm, probably no one in the Foundation Establishment Realm could contend with him.

With a flick of his toe, Song Ren’s long spear fell into his hand. Chen Yuan suddenly threw it like a sharp arrow, piercing through the legs of the two men, who cried out in pain and collapsed once more.

Chen Yuan’s gaze was intense as he turned to stare directly at Song Ren, his mouth curling into a sneer:

“In your next life, remember to change your name. Don’t call yourself Song Ren, change it to ‘Send Your Head’; it sounds better.”

After all, the meaning is the same. At first, Chen Yuan thought his demeanor indicated a powerful and formidable opponent, but who knew he was just a silver spear with a wax head, good-looking but useless.

Song Ren’s face turned ugly, but he had nothing to retort.

This time he indeed had sent his own head.

“Chen Yuan, you’re ruthless!”

“That’s enough, I don’t have the time to argue with you now. It was Yang Wanlou who found you, right?” Chen Yuan asked directly.

Song Ren’s pupils shrank sharply, realizing that Chen Yuan seemed to have known everything all along, including who had directed them, as if waiting for them to come.

Seeing Song Ren lowering his head, Chen Yuan’s face remained calm:

“If you’re smart, confess everything. If you’re not, you know what punishment the Heavenly Patrol Bureau can mete out…”

“Yes.”

After a long silence, Song Ren lowered his head.

Resistance was meaningless and would only bring pain. Since Chen Yuan had already anticipated everything, their attempt to kill him was expected by him.

Thinking about it, it made sense. With his powerful strength, not even a master of the Gang Condensation Realm could bother him in the entirety of Nanling Prefecture.

“That’s right, now, tell me everything you know…”

In Song Ren’s narrative, he was assigned by the Hall Master of the Blood Killing Hall, Lin Beihan, to find Chen Yuan’s location through spies spread across the city, then ambush him on the way.

And to erase all traces of him.

Being greatly valued by the Hall Master of the Blood Killing Hall, he knew it was Yang Wanlou who wanted Chen Yuan dead, hence he sought the help of higher-ups from the Azure Flood Dragon Association, which he was deeply involved in due to his control over grain transport.

Asking them to kill a person, and especially a mere Heavenly Patrol Guard without any significant background, was not a big deal to them.

About failure…

To be honest, they had never considered the possibility of failing.

In their minds, assassinating Chen Yuan was an easy task; perhaps they wouldn’t even need to act personally to deal with him.

After hearing Song Ren’s confession, Chen Yuan, holding him by the arm and using the long spear to round up the other two, headed straight for the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

…

…

“Yang Wanlou sent men to assassinate you!”

Zhang Xuan’s gaze sharpened, and his aura became murderous. The three men collapsed on the floor trembled as they looked up at Zhang Xuan, who, despite his short time in Nanling Prefecture, had a significant reputation.

Many forces speculated that he might be the next Green Envoy.

“Correct, they have confessed.”

Chen Yuan nodded.

Zhang Xuan’s eyes flickered unpredictably, ordering the three men to be taken to the prison of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau to await judgment, leaving only the two of them in the room.

“Sir, shall we take action?”

Chen Yuan was eager to test; whether the Supreme Mysterious Scripture was in the Yang Family could be easily discovered with a search!

“Their confessions can only be considered as one piece of evidence. Even if we can raid their house, are you confident you can find evidence of Yang Wanlou’s crimes?” Zhang Xuan turned his gaze to Chen Yuan.

“Rest assured, sir, I will definitely find it.”

Missing this opportunity, he did not know when the next chance would come.

He was eager to advance into the Gang Condensation Realm.

That way, he could survive better in Nanling Prefecture City.

“Since that’s the case, then take your men and raid the house…” Zhang Xuan handed the Angel waist token to Chen Yuan.

With this token, the Heavenly Patrol Guard could mobilize a dozen Bone Refining-level reserve Patrol Guards.

“Thank you, sir.”

Having no one else interfering was better for Chen Yuan.

“Sir, how should we deal with these three people from the Azure Flood Dragon Association?”

Zhang Xuan frowned lightly:

“Keep them in custody. Relying on just a few people, we still cannot move against the Azure Flood Dragon Association. They can completely deny association and say they had already expelled them,

which has happened before.”

“The Magistrate and the Green Envoy lack the courage to act against the Azure Flood Dragon Association, which is why we have the current situation, where the imperial authority is less than that of Jianghu.”

Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly, somewhat dissatisfied.

But he was helpless in this matter, which was beyond his control at the moment. Moreover, the concerns of the Magistrate and Green Envoy were not unreasonable. The military force in Nanling Prefecture consisted only of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau and a stationed army unit.

Dealing with one faction alone would be easy.

But once the Five Great Forces of Nanling Prefecture pressured the government altogether, they couldn’t withstand it, and any rash action would only incite rebellion.

The imperial situation was not good right now, with strong enemies lurking around and constant internal strife. In the end, the only solution was compromise…

Over the two hundred years since the establishment of Great Jin, there had been countless rebellions, but they always ended up being suppressed and restarted, and compared to some other states, the situation in Qingzhou was relatively stable.

Even the State Prefect wouldn’t forcefully act against Jianghu.

However, the more this was the case, the more brazen Jianghu became, creating a vicious cycle.

“I understand now!”

Chen Yuan nodded gravely.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

The Heavenly Patrol Bureau had many reasons to eliminate these Jianghu forces, but the Magistrate and Green Envoy lacked the resolve to openly break with them, perhaps due to some apprehension.

“Chen Yuan, remember, this time when you capture Yang Wanlou, if there is no solid ironclad evidence afterwards, and if there is pressure from above, the Heavenly Patrol Bureau will definitely release him.”

“At that time, you and Yang Wanlou will be in a life-or-death situation.”

“However, rest assured, with me here, no one in Nanling Prefecture can touch you…”

“Thank you, sir.”

Chen Yuan’s expression was very solemn.

Zhang Xuan’s meaning was very clear; no one could touch him openly, but if there were endless assassination attempts, Zhang Xuan couldn’t protect him all the time.

But Chen Yuan was already prepared for this.

His character had never relied on others.

“Well then, go ahead and make your move. Make it spectacular. I’m looking forward to the surprises you’ll bring to Nanling Prefecture in the future…” Zhang Xuan’s mouth curled up into a smile.

Chen Yuan’s character was something he had long understood through various documents.

To put it simply, he was vengeful.

Fiercer than him in many aspects.

Previously, through the involvement of Yue Shan, he had caused people from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau to go to Cien Temple, definitely with some unspeakable purpose. However, Zhang Xuan didn’t care. In this world, who didn’t have secrets?

As long as he was useful and could create value, that was enough!

…

Yang Family estate.

Yang Wanlou’s room was brightly lit, and he sat there, continuously sipping tea, which showed his currently anxious mood.

Assassinating Patrol Guards seemed simple, but if caught with evidence, it would lead to annihilation. That had been the style of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau for many years.

If it weren’t for Chen Yuan’s overly aggressive approach, making him feel guilty, he would never have allowed such action.

“Creak…”

Yang Wanlou’s gaze sharpened, and he suddenly turned his head towards the newcomer. Upon seeing who it was, he frowned abruptly:

“Why are you here?”

“Father, did you send someone to kill that Patrol Guard Chen?”

Yang Qing’an stared intently at Yang Wanlou, his face pale and bloodless, as he stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.

“What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be so foolish?”

Yang Wanlou scolded.

“Heh… you could even kill Lady Yan, that Patrol Guard Chen, who found her death suspicious, wouldn’t you kill him?” Yang Qing’an sneered.

Yang Wanlou furrowed his brows:

“What are you trying to say?”

“Father, leave quickly. I have a feeling that Patrol Guard Chen, who dared to provoke the steward to his face, is not an ordinary person; perhaps he’s waiting for you to make a move!”

Yang Qing’an took a deep breath.

“I told you, I did not make a move.”

Yang Wanlou’s gaze turned indifferent.

“Father, don’t destroy our family for my sake.”

“Are you now in a position to lecture me?”

“Ever since I contracted this terrible disease, you have changed, father. You compromised with the Azure Flood Dragon Association, used the elixirs they produced to prolong my life, and even your temperament changed drastically, to the extent of… ”

“Enough, I said Lady Yan died by falling into a well. Now you suspect that I have disrupted moral norms!”

Yang Wanlou suddenly slammed the table.

“Lady Yan had already confessed to me, and I… had actually accepted it. But why did you kill her and slander her for adultery?” Yang Qing’an’s expression turned calm.

“She knew too much. If it got out, our Yang Family would be in danger!”

After a long silence, Yang Wanlou spoke softly.

“Is it about the silver in the ancestral hall? I’ve known about that for a long time…”

“You…”

Yang Wanlou’s pupils shrank, staring at Yang Qing’an.
