I Have A Qi Fortune Altar.
Chapter 264 - 264 245 Horses Trample the Dragon Tiger Sect

Chapter 264: Chapter 245: Horses Trample the Dragon Tiger Sect! Chapter 264: Chapter 245: Horses Trample the Dragon Tiger Sect! Both attaining the Reach Profound level, Chen Yuan now lacked nothing compared to him, it was only a difference in positions. But this difference would likely be resolved soon.

Therefore, Tao Qingyuan’s tone had already shifted to treating him as an equal.

And it wasn’t awkward or uncomfortable because after sensing Chen Yuan’s talent, he had already prepared himself for this scenario. Over the years, it wasn’t uncommon for former colleagues to become his superiors.

If he were to get caught up on this, it would only be to his disadvantage.

“What do you want to do?” Chen Yuan’s mouth slowly curved up, revealing a smile:

“Naturally, to retaliate against them all!”

“Sir knows I’m not one to hold back. I’ve been enduring for a long time. The reason I was able to keep calm and cultivate diligently is that I was suppressing a breath of air in my heart.

And now, I want to let it out!”

“You want to move against Dragon Tiger Sect?”

Tao Qingyuan asked with a serious expression.

“Not just the Dragon Tiger Sect, but also the Azure Flood Dragon Association. Tang Qian has attacked me multiple times, and I remember each and every deed. Now the time has come to pay them back.”

Chen Yuan said solemnly.

Actually, there was another sentence he didn’t say, and that was including Gold Mountain Monastery!

However, Chen Yuan refrained from mentioning it, out of consideration for Tao Qingyuan’s thoughts. After all, the influence of Gold Mountain Monastery within Nanling Prefecture was too strong, and ordinary people wouldn’t dare to provoke it.

But just because he didn’t say it, didn’t mean Tao Qingyuan couldn’t guess it.

The arrogance from Gold Mountain Monastery that day, the most infuriated wasn’t just Chen Yuan but also he, Tao Qingyuan, since he was the Green Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

Those monks dared to be so presumptuous because they didn’t take him into their considerations.

But this statement, whether from Chen Yuan or him, wouldn’t be verbalized. Now was not the time. After first wiping out the Dragon Tiger Sect and Azure Flood Dragon Association, then it would not be too late to plan against Gold Mountain Monastery.

“What do you want to do?”

Tao Qingyuan asked.

Chen Yuan was a man of determination, a trait Tao Qingyuan greatly appreciated, so he wanted to hear what he proposed.

“What to do? Sir, forgive my bluntness, do we now need any crafty plots or tricks? With Shi Yunlong and Capital Commandant Lü included, we can muster four Reach Profound powerhouses and more than a dozen Gang Condensation experts. Combined, we can completely crush the Dragon Tiger Sect!”

“Simply frame them, and crush Dragon Tiger Sect with the swiftness of lightning, and then, dealing with what remains, Azure Flood Dragon Association, will be easy to grasp.”

Chen Yuan spread his five fingers and suddenly clenched them, as if everything was in his hands.

“To take action rashly…but this…” Tao Qingyuan still had some hesitations.

Chen Yuan stepped forward:

“Sir, he who hesitates is lost, and chaos follows. Such opportunities–ones that come once in decades to eradicate these Jianghu forces–might…”

Tao Qingyuan was somewhat swayed but his stable character did not allow him to agree immediately.

He was considering the feasibility of this action: would defeating Dragon Tiger Sect cause any chain reactions of instability? If strength alone dictated dominance, the Court could just dispatch a Core Realm expert to pacify all the states.

To move one part is to affect the whole; this he understood deeply having occupied the position of Green Envoy for many years.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yuan continued:

“About the incident with Gold Mountain Monastery, although you had already reacted, it still let some Jianghu forces see the weaknesses of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau; otherwise, why would Dragon Tiger Sect dare to provoke us this time?”

“Isn’t it because they think you dare not act?”

“Sometimes, doing the opposite can yield more and restore the authority of the Court. By making an example of Dragon Tiger Sect and Azure Flood Dragon Association,

there should be no surprises, and thereafter, the major forces in Nanling Prefecture will tread cautiously before the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.”

“Those Jianghu folks, despite their blaring slogans, from my encounters, are mere paper tigers, easily torn.”

Chen Yuan spoke eloquently, causing Tao Qingyuan’s eyes to flicker with conviction.

After a long period of thought, Tao Qingyuan loosened his furrowed brow and looked directly at Chen Yuan:

“What you say does make sense. Continued suppression will only make those Jianghu people think the Heavenly Patrol Bureau is weak and bully-worthy. Over these years, the reason why the name of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau invokes fear is due to one character: fierceness.”

“Gold Mountain Monastery challenged the authority of the Great Jin Court, Azure Flood Dragon Association secretly attacked court officials, and now Dragon Tiger Sect dares to stir trouble as well. Fine. Then let’s fight!”

“Wipe out Dragon Tiger Sect, annihilate Azure Flood Dragon Association!”

The voice of Tao Qingyuan rang out with a powerful resonance.

“Sir is wise!”

Chen Yuan immediately bowed.

…

…

Once the decision to act was taken, Tao Qingyuan no longer hesitated. After giving some instructions to Chen Yuan, he directly got up and headed for the residence of Commandant Lü. In the local state governments under the Great Jin Dynasty, the powers were essentially separated into three branches.

The Magistrate managed local civilian affairs, the Heavenly Patrol Envoy captured criminals, and balanced the local Jianghu forces, whereas the Military Equipment Army was the last resort,

generally a reserve military force. Whenever the frontlines lacked manpower, they would mobilize the Military Equipment Army. Naturally, if there was something the Heavenly Patrol Bureau or the Government could not handle, they would also seek help from the Military Equipment Army.

As long as there wasn’t personal enmity, most capital commandants would offer assistance, after all, however you argue it, everyone was an official of the Great Jin Court.

And for various reasons, the military generals tended to prefer interacting with the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

Many of the Heavenly Patrol Guards, besides selecting talent from the local County Government and the Jianghu, another important source was transferring people from the Military Equipment Army.
