I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 187 - 176 Unrooted Silver Soup

Chapter 187: Chapter 176 Unrooted Silver Soup!

Chapter 187 -176 Unrooted Silver Soup!

He completely failed to understand what Chen Yuan meant by the “Ula”.

Is it similar to the character for “kill”?

“This is what I read in ancient texts,” he said. “It means ‘long live’. Wouldn’t shouting this have more imposing momentum than merely the word ‘kill’?”

As he spoke, Chen Yuan imagined the scene of Yue Shan shouting “Ula” when he took action in the future, and indeed it seemed to carry just the right flavor.

Especially given Yue Shan’s towering stature — it was a perfect fit!

“I see.”

Yue Shan nodded with a hint of understanding, continuously imagining how it would feel to shout it out. It seemed…indeed quite interesting.

“My lord is truly erudite and knowledgeable.”

Yue Shan said with a naïve smile.

As Chen Yuan grew stronger, Yue Shan no longer dared to address him as casually as before, and involuntarily started to refer to him as “my lord”.

Just like Zhang Xuan.

They shared one trait: both were young and powerful!

Most importantly, while Zhang Xuan had a deep background, Chen Yuan was like himself, a person without any background, whose rise was solely due to his own effort and strength.

He even wondered if Chen Yuan’s strength would have been even greater if he hadn’t been delayed so long in the Ping’an County Government.

Indeed, he transformed into a dragon at the first encounter with storms and winds!

“How has your cultivation been progressing recently?”

Walking out of the small courtyard, Chen Yuan was no longer in a hurry and started strolling leisurely with Yue Shan in City East, chatting as they went.

Hearing this, Yue Shan’s expression became serious, and he quickly said:

“I am preparing to make a breakthrough.”

Chen Yuan nodded, not too surprised. Yue Shan’s talent was extraordinary, he was highly regarded by Zhang Xuan, and his own strength was already unmatched, with few rivals at the Bone Refining Level.

The breakthrough was a perfectly normal event.

But he still gave a reminder:

“Don’t panic during your breakthrough. With your foundation, you should be able to advance steadily. Do you have a Qi Absorption Technique?”

“I have exchanged for a Qi Refining Technique suitable for my use with my merit a few days ago and have been contemplating it these past few days.”

“Remember, try not to disrupt your essence!”

With the essence of Yang still intact, it partially aids Qi absorption. Since crossing over, Chen Yuan had always been conserving his energy, even though he had done some foolish things with Wang Ping when he was younger.

But he had compensated for some of that over time.

“I am aware, my lord.”

Yue Shan had understood this point quite early on.

On the way back, all was peaceful, and Chen Yuan faintly felt that someone was watching him and Yue Shan from a distance, but he acted as if he were none the wiser. His appearance meant that the Yunjiang Three Ghosts would be safer.

Bei Haisheng’s attention would also be shifted onto him.

…

…

Late at night,

at the Bei residence.

After listening to his subordinate’s report on Chen Yuan’s appearance, Bei Haisheng’s expression didn’t change as he waved his hand to dismiss them and stared pensively at a wooden spirit tablet beside him.

It read, “Spirit Tablet of beloved son Bei Le”, and next to it was another spirit tablet for his “beloved wife ***”.

Bei Haisheng sat quietly, his demeanor as calm as the abyss, yet filled with bone-chilling murderous intent.

As Chen Yuan grew increasingly powerful, Bei Haisheng realized more and more that Chen Yuan could no longer be allowed to live; his talent and strength meant he would become harder and harder to kill as time passed.

Therefore, he took the initiative to reach out to Lin Beihan!

He had heard about the grudge between Lin Beihan and Chen Yuan before. Chen Yuan had killed several of Lin Beihan’s men, and during Chen Yuan’s standoff with Liu Changkong, Tang Qian of the Azure Flood Dragon Association had even stepped up to support him.

After investigating, Bei Haisheng thought he could use the Azure Flood Dragon Association’s hand to kill Chen Yuan.

As for the Changle Gang’s side, Gang Leader Shi Yunlong had comforted him, telling him to put aside his vengeance for the time being and focus on dealing with the Azure Flood Dragon Association. After driving back the Azure Flood Dragon Association,

Shi Yunlong would personally take action to help him seek revenge.

Bei Haisheng had agreed, knowing not to act rashly, lest he not only endanger himself, but also bring great trouble to the Changle Gang.

As the Deputy Gang Leader of Changle Gang with a high status, many of its members had been promoted by him, and even Shi Yunlong was someone he had watched grow up.

They shared a deep bond.

He did not want the Changle Gang to fall because of him.

But all this changed after the battle between Chen Yuan and Liu Changkong. He was confident in dealing with a low-level Qi Absorption Martial Artist like Chen Yuan, but the strength and talent Chen Yuan displayed worried Bei Haisheng and even made him afraid.

He clearly understood the saying, “Better to deceive the old than the young poor,” so he knew how strong Chen Yuan’s displayed talent was. Moreover, Tao Qingyuan, that old ghost, valued Chen Yuan greatly.

He nearly took action, and if it weren’t for Chen Yuan accepting Liu Changkong’s challenge, that fight would have surely happened!

With his support, Chen Yuan’s cultivation would advance faster and faster, and Bei Haisheng could no longer just sit by and watch.

Thus, he found Lin Beihan and told him as long as they got rid of Chen Yuan, Bei Haisheng would be willing to serve the Azure Flood Dragon Association in the future.

Of course, the people from the Azure Flood Dragon Association wouldn’t so easily trust him, nor become a blade in his hand. For this, Bei Haisheng paid a heavy price.

He informed the Azure Flood Dragon Association of all the strengths and weaknesses of the Changle Gang over the past few days.

As a result, during the recent days of conflict, the Changle Gang had been at a severe disadvantage, paying a heavy price!

He had been tracked before, which exposed his collusion with the Azure Flood Dragon Association. Afterwards, it was found out that the pursuers were none other than the Yunjiang Four Ghosts who had always been active in Yunjiang.

And they were all Chen Yuan’s people!

In that moment, he understood that Chen Yuan had never let his guard down against him and had been sending people to keep an eye on him all along. Fortunately, there was another piece of information he had come to know.

The Deputy Hall Master of the Blood Killing Hall, Yu Wancheng, had died at the hands of Chen Yuan.

This gave him more initiative.

The Deputy Hall Master of the Blood Killing Hall was a key figure in the Azure Flood Dragon Association; his unexplained death would not be tolerated. Hence, he secretly bribed some low-ranking members of the Association. With their dissemination, the entire Association learned the truth about Yu Wancheng’s death at the hands of Chen Yuan.

He was forcing the Azure Flood Dragon Association to make a move.

If they didn’t act, it would greatly demoralize the gang members.

By now, his scheming was half complete.

The leak of his meeting with Lin Beihan seemed to have infuriated him, but in fact, he didn’t really care. Even if it hadn’t been leaked, he would have told the Gang Leader Shi Yunlong anyway!

This time, not only did he intend to kill Chen Yuan, but he also wanted to deal a heavy blow to the Azure Flood Dragon Association, at the cost… of his own life!

Chen Yuan was valued by Tao Qingyuan. If he were to die at the hands of someone from the Azure Flood Dragon Association, it would surely provoke fury—even Bei Haisheng knew this.

His life was the price to spread the word throughout Nanling Prefecture.

When that time came, the court would surely strike at the Azure Flood Dragon Association, even if just for appearances. And this… would give the Changle Gang an opportunity.

As long as the Azure Flood Dragon Association stood down, the Changle Gang would have a chance to catch its breath and might even be able to take advantage of the situation to severely weaken or even destroy the Azure Flood Dragon Association, allowing the Changle Gang to rise above them.

This was his plan!

What does a man who no longer cares for his own life have to fear?

Now that Chen Yuan had appeared, he surely knew about his collusion with Lin Beihan, and it was almost time to come clean to Shi Yunlong. Even if Shi Yunlong disagreed, the plan had already progressed this far.

He had no way out!

He guessed that people from the Azure Flood Dragon Association would likely use his secret communication with Lin Beihan against him, trying to blackmail him.

Unfortunately for them, hehe…

Bei Haisheng lifted his head, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold smile.

“Knock, knock.”

A series of knocks on the door followed by a greeting:

“Master, your soup is ready.”

“Come in…”

Bei Haisheng said indifferently.

‘Creak’

The door was pushed open and an elderly servant in green robes entered, carrying a steaming white soup on a wooden tray.

Taking up the spoon, Bei Haisheng drank the Rootless Silver Soup with a calm expression.

This soup was his favorite, a habit that had formed over decades; he kept four or five wet nurses at home, changing the flavor occasionally.

“You may leave.”

Having finished the Silver Soup, Bei Haisheng wiped the corners of his mouth with a white silk cloth.

“Yes.”

The old servant responded.

“Oh, and you can deliver the letter I instructed you to prepare to the Gang Leader now,” said Bei Haisheng softly.

Now was the time to avoid direct contact with Shi Yunlong if possible, to prevent any suspicions. With the situation progressing exactly as he had anticipated,

he didn’t want any additional complications to arise.

The old servant nodded and left, closing the door gently behind him, leaving Bei Haisheng alone with a somewhat lonely gaze fixed on the ancestral tablet, murmuring:

“You want to kill me, and I want to kill you. Now… let’s see who dies first!”

…

…

Chen Yuan returned to his small courtyard at home and sat cross-legged in meditation throughout the night, his mind also pondering his own plans. Bei Haisheng wanted to kill him using the hands of the Azure Flood Dragon Association,

and he wanted to destroy Lin Beihan and Bei Haisheng by his own hands with the help of Tao Qingyuan and Shi Yunlong.

Both were well aware of each other’s strong intent to kill. Chen Yuan felt that Bei Haisheng wanted to conspire with the Azure Flood Dragon Association to move against him, while Bei Haisheng also believed that Chen Yuan’s first target must surely be him.

What he didn’t know was that although Bei Haisheng was indeed on Chen Yuan’s hit list, ranked at the top was Lin Beihan, with Bei Haisheng following after!

The next day.

Chen Yuan returned to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau with an unaffected demeanor, causing no shocks or waves. Along the way, he encountered Nie Qi Yun.

But both of them ignored each other, Nie Qi Yun because Zhang Xuan was angry with Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan found the man too annoying to bother with.

He was not someone who eagerly pleased others.

If he had the chance, he’d love to backstab Nie Qi Yun as well.

But the matter was too sensitive, and once exposed, Chen Yuan would no longer be able to maintain his position in the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, hence he needed to be cautious!

He pressed on.

In a short time, Chen Yuan arrived at the Heavenly Patrol Hall where Tao Qingyuan was. As he was allowed to enter, Tao Qingyuan was holding a scroll in his hand.
