I Have A Qi Fortune Altar.
Chapter 262 - 262 244 Overwhelming Dominance

Chapter 262: Chapter 244: Overwhelming Dominance! Chapter 262: Chapter 244: Overwhelming Dominance! If pushed too far, Tao Qingyuan really might resort to violence, and should a fight break out, it would undoubtedly be their fault, for Xu Lingtian was now clearly bullying by throwing his weight around.

With his Reach Profound Cultivation, engaging with Chen Yuan, a Gang Condensing Martial Artist, no matter who wins or loses, the Dragon Tiger Sect would face a great crisis.

Xu Lingtian’s fists, clenched under his sleeves, slowly unclenched, his imposing aura gradually fading. He gazed at Chen Yuan and spoke softly, “Envoy Chen’s strength is well known to me, but for me to strike now would seem like bullying from my side. After Envoy Chen breaks through to Reach Profound, there will be plenty of time for us to spar.”

Chen Yuan glanced at him, his hand still gripping the hilt of his knife:

“Very well, that day should not be too far off. When it comes… Brother Xu, you must certainly impart some lessons to me.”

Listening to Chen Yuan’s address, Xu Lingtian nodded without saying anything further, and returned to his seat looking somewhat displeased.

This time, his objective wasn’t met, and he hadn’t anticipated Chen Yuan to be so unbending, even noticing a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

He really wanted to fight!

What a madman.

Xu Yongnian took a deep breath; even with his many years of Qi Cultivation, he barely restrained himself from acting, particularly because Chen Yuan’s comment was overly insulting and arrogant.

What does it mean to never explain oneself to others in one’s life?

What does it mean by satisfying you?

Clearly, it means disregarding Xu Lingtian, blatantly disregarding him, Xu Yongnian, and essentially disregarding the entire Dragon Tiger Sect!

‘Tap tap…’ Xu Yongnian’s fingers lightly tapped on the table as he looked at Chen Yuan and said:

“It’s good for a young man to be spirited, but don’t be too aggressive. Do you understand that too much rigidity can lead to breaking?”

Chen Yuan shook his head, his eyes seemingly mocking:

“I only know to be unyielding rather than bend. As a young man, one should naturally have the vigor of youth. Should I really be like those old fellows on the verge of the grave, safeguarding myself prudently?”

“When they have already struck at your door, are you not to react at all?”

Honestly, Chen Yuan really hoped Xu Lingtian wouldn’t be able to hold back from striking; this way, Tao Qingyuan would inevitably be compelled to act, despite the provocation tactics not reaching full effect.

This state of having no reservations was what Chen Yuan truly relished—who likes to dabble in schemes and plots? Isn’t it just a matter of lacking the power?

It feels exhilarating to bulldoze through everything!

If God blocks, kill God; if Buddha blocks, exterminate Buddha!

Faced with Chen Yuan’s mocking words, Xu Yongnian took a deep look at him, then stood up and bowed to Tao Qingyuan, saying:

“Lord Tao, there are still matters at the sect that require our attention, so we shall take our leave.”

Tao Qingyuan slightly raised his brows:

“Brother Xu, aren’t you going to search for that mysterious expert anymore?”

“For the time being, I will not. Honestly, I already have some thoughts about it. It’s better we go back and admonish our followers,” Xu Yongyuan said, glancing at Chen Yuan, then saying to Tao Qingyuan.

“Brother Xu makes a good point. During this period, the Dragon Tiger Sect indeed needs to act cautiously and prudently,” Tao Qingyuan nodded in agreement.

“Farewell.”

“Farewell.”

Xu Lingtian also stood up to bow, his eyes darkening as he glanced at Chen Yuan, then both of them turned away and left, leaving Chen Yuan with a view of their backs.

“I shall see you out then,” Tao Qingyuan said loudly.

“No need, Lord Tao, please remain here,”

That was Xu Yongnian’s response.

Once their figures had completely disappeared, Tao Qingyuan’s expression turned grim again, and he looked at Yue Shan, saying:

“You may leave first, for I have important matters to discuss with Envoy Chen.”

“This official takes his leave.”

Yue Shan politely nodded his head and exchanged a look with Chen Yuan before walking away.

He certainly didn’t have the capability to be so esteemed by Tao Qingyuan, thus naturally, he acted more respectfully.

Once Yue Shan had left, Tao Qingyuan waved his hand, closing the great doors of the Heavenly Patrol Hall with Gang Qi, and looked at Chen Yuan while whispering:

“The one who caused such a disturbance at the Dragon Tiger Sect was you, wasn’t it, Envoy Chen?”

…

…

“Indeed, it was him!”

Outside the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, Xu Yongnian, with a dark gaze, stared ahead, no longer possessing the casual demeanor he had upon first arriving at the bureau.

Following meticulous observations and previous interactions, Xu Yongnian was nearly completely certain that Chen Yuan was the one who had caused trouble at the Dragon Tiger Sect!

Xu Lingtian’s gaze was deep, brimming with intent to kill, from the attitude Chen Yuan had shown him earlier, he had been tempted to strike then and there; just a mere Gang Condensing Martial Artist,

what of his fame and strength?

The way he spoke, those eyes that clearly didn’t regard him, was obviously provoking him to act.

“A pity the goal wasn’t achieved,” Xu Yongnian muttered to himself, a hint of regret in his eyes.

Had Chen Yuan’s reaction not been so fierce, they certainly would have pinned the identity of the mysterious martial artist on him, even if Tao Qingyuan staunchly defended him,

they could still have enlisted other forces from Nanling Prefecture to aid them, pressuring Chen Yuan to relinquish the Dragon Vein Energy.

After all, causing uproar at the Dragon Tiger Sect, no matter how one looks at it, is indisputably Chen Yuan’s fault, and the imperial court wouldn’t act against them for it.

Because the imperial court isn’t powerful enough to counter Jianghu.

The fault lies with the imperial court, and even if they dispatched strong warriors, the reaction from Jianghu would be even greater.

Everyone knows that the imperial court is internally weak and externally troubled, and they are just waiting to benefit from the court’s weakened state.
