I Have A Qi Fortune Altar.
Chapter 274 - 274 253 Tang Qian Come Out and Face Your Death

Chapter 274: Chapter 253 Tang Qian, Come Out and Face Your Death! Chapter 274: Chapter 253 Tang Qian, Come Out and Face Your Death! Moreover, even if Chen Yuan really turned against him in the future, Tao Qingyuan’s loss would not be great, as he had only provided some protection for Chen Yuan,

without investing a significant amount of manpower or resources.

Because he couldn’t afford a Reach Profound Level Martial Artist.

“You have now been promoted to the Reach Profound Realm, and I have already reported this matter to Golden Envoy Jiang. Your time in Nanling Prefecture will likely not be long,

now is the time for you to accumulate experience, merit, and reputation.”

“Ordinary Reach Profound Martial Artists, even if they break through, cannot be immediately arranged for a position as a Green Envoy. Being assigned to manage a region is not simple. There are many competitors within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, so you must possess something others do not have.”

Gazing at Chen Yuan, Tao Qingyuan continued:

“Besides your talent, your most distinctive trait is your vengeful nature, fearing nothing, which is very similar to Golden Envoy Jiang, so you must maintain that.”

“Whether it’s genuine character or an act, you must persist. Only by gaining the attention of Golden Envoy Jiang can you truly secure a powerful support.

As for Zhang Xuan, with your current strength, don’t even think about it; at most, stay on good terms with him. Hoping for him to introduce you to his father is beyond consideration.”

“It will be more likely after you reach the Ning Realm…”

Tao Qingyuan advised Chen Yuan on many things and explained his current situation, indeed as he had said, for Chen Yuan to advance, he needed someone to see his value and support him.

Otherwise, the obstacles would be numerous, even if he had achieved merits. After all, which Martial Artist breaking through the Reach Profound Level hadn’t accumulated a significant amount of merit?

Talented indeed, but the imperial court ultimately isn’t Jianghu or a Sect, and some rules must be followed…

Of course, Chen Yuan didn’t want to rashly attain too high a position. It would be best to rise step by step, solidifying his foundation and gathering a cohort of supporters.

Perhaps in the future, he could establish a new faction.

“Thank you for the guidance, sir.”

After a long while, Chen Yuan said softly.

“It’s nothing much of a guidance. You already understand some of these things; I merely articulated them,” said Tao Qingyuan, narrowing his eyes slightly before adding:

“Golden Envoy Jiang has been quite interested in you. Once you reach the top fifty on the Hidden Dragon List, he will probably value you even more. Think carefully about your next steps during this time; my ability to assist you is limited.”

“The help sir has provided is more than enough.”

Tao Qingyuan smiled wistfully, again regretting he didn’t have a suitable daughter; otherwise, adding kinship to their relationship wouldn’t be a bad idea. Even if not as the principal wife, a concubine would suffice.

“Demon Sword Chen Yuan, Ascending Immortal Tower has probably already begun assessing your strength. Are you considering where you might rank?”

Suddenly, Tao Qingyuan shifted the topic.

“I do not care much for that. If a mere list could rank all the talents in the world and estimate their strength, that would be impossible,

whatever rank I achieve is what it is. If I were to focus all my spirit on this, I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on my cultivation,” Chen Yuan replied with a calm demeanor, seemingly indifferent.

Tao Qingyuan’s estimation of Chen Yuan rose slightly.

He does not value reputation but cares about actual benefits… That’s not what rumors outside suggested about this hot-headed youth.

“Dragon Tiger Sect has already been destroyed. Next is the Azure Flood Dragon Association. Now, Capital Commandant Lv has already ordered the lockdown of the entire Association. When do you wish to take action?”

Finally, Tao Qingyuan arrived at the point that interested Chen Yuan the most.

If he didn’t speak now, Chen Yuan would have to steer the conversation there himself.

“It must be a swift and decisive battle. Tang Qian is a smart man; he won’t just wait to be killed. To avoid prolonged uncertainties, I suggest we strike immediately, eliminating these two powers within one day!”

Chen Yuan’s tone carried a trace of killing aura.

Tao Qingyuan slightly furrowed his brow:

“Destroying two major powers within one day might panic many people. Moreover, the Azure Flood Dragon Association isn’t like Dragon Tiger Sect, which was located outside the Prefecture City on an isolated mountain. Once we make our move, it will definitely attract the attention of many civilians and Jianghu Martial Artists. Without solid evidence, it’s hard to convince the public.”

It’s not that he didn’t want to act, but he had some concerns.

If the Azure Flood Dragon Association were located outside the city, he would not hesitate to agree to Chen Yuan’s proposal and might even personally confront Tang Qian. However, he represented the imperial court,

acting against Jianghu powers without any reason, especially since one had already been destroyed, might provoke public anger.

A few slanderous words are not enough!

Chen Yuan stood up, knowing this was Tao Qingyuan’s old cautious nature. It was not bad, but a bit too prudently for his tastes, and then he said gravely:

“Eliminating Tang Qian would not require the sir’s direct involvement. Let me try his methods. The world knows my quarrel with Tang Qian; I will handle him and set up the charges,

what can some Jianghu Martial Artists say? If they don’t comply, they’ll be killed!”

“The tasks that the sir does not wish to do, I will do them; the people that the sir does not wish to kill, I will kill them. Tang Qian has ambushed me several times; I have long wanted to settle the score with him!”

Gazing at Chen Yuan and sensing his intense killing intent, Tao Qingyuan nodded:

“Tang Qian is formidable, being a martial artist of the second aperture in Reach Profound; he is probably slightly stronger than Xu Yongnian, whom you faced earlier. Be cautious and take Shi Yunlong with you.

Together, you two will not find it difficult to eliminate him.”

“I only take action when absolutely necessary, not only due to some concerns but also to help you gain greater prestige,” Tao Qingyuan added.

“The only ones sir needs to guard against are Monk Fa Nan, that old bald monk, and the masters from Gold Mountain Monastery. However, with sir and Capital Commandant Lv around, the Monastery would not dare to openly rebel.”

When the subject of Monk Fa Nan was brought up, Chen Yuan’s expression turned slightly cold.

The grievance between him and Gold Mountain Monastery was no small matter either. He had already decided that after dealing with Tang Qian, he would start plotting against Gold Mountain Monastery.

If Tao Qingyuan is wary of Fa Hai, then I’ll create an opportunity he can’t ignore.

Chen Yuan did not believe that Fa Hai could take on four opponents alone!

“Good.”

Tao Qingyuan nodded.

Unknowingly, Chen Yuan had even taken some initiative in their relationship, to the point where Tao Qingyuan subconsciously wouldn’t even argue with him.

This was partly because he valued Chen Yuan, but more importantly, there was a certain demeanor about him, an extremely confident demeanor that, once he spoke, made others feel compelled to believe him.

…

…

Once they had decided to move against the Azure Flood Dragon Association, the two did not hesitate any longer, finished their tea, and Tao Qingyuan went to contact Lv Yuan, while Chen Yuan led the unharmed, fully recovered Heavenly Patrol Guards to the headquarters of the Azure Flood Dragon Association.

There were over sixty people. The others had either lost their lives in the previous campaign or were injured and unsuitable for action. Only these were perfectly unscathed.

Even upon hearing the news that Chen Yuan was about to move against the Azure Flood Dragon Association again, those who had just recovered and were still red-eyed with fury from the recent recovery, all silently mounted their horses.

However, the killing aura emanating from them had already made their stance clear.

As for Shi Yunlong…

Chen Yuan did not personally go but sent a Heavenly Patrol Guard to inform him. He did not place his hopes on Shi Yunlong—who had blocked a sword for Chen Yuan and had sustained serious injuries. Even though the Blood Evil Energy was drawn out, he had still lost much of his fighting power.

But if things went as Chen Yuan expected, Shi Yunlong would still come.

Not only was the feud between Chen Yuan and Tang Qian deep, but Shi Yunlong and Tang Qian’s grievance was also no less significant, certainly much stronger than Xu Lingtian’s.

The disturbance created by the Heavenly Patrol Guard truly shook many people who were paying attention to them, understanding that it was not enough for Chen Yuan to have just destroyed the Dragon Tiger Sect, he was going to take down another power.

As for which power it was, everyone had already figured it out.

The Azure Flood Dragon Association!

Their feuds had made a lot of noise recently. With the Dragon Tiger Sect destroyed, how could the Azure Flood Dragon Association possibly survive alone? What they hadn’t expected was that Chen Yuan was ready to act again so soon.

Without even taking time to rest, he wanted to kill Tang Qian. How deep must his hatred run?

“Thundering roars…”

The thunderous sound of horse hooves echoed through the North City. The fully armed Heavenly Patrol Guards followed behind Chen Yuan with expressionless faces, causing the terrified bystanders to tremble.

Jianghu martial artists holding swords and bearing weapons looked at each other, and many hurried toward the Azure Flood Dragon Association’s direction.

If they didn’t hurry, they wouldn’t grab a good spot to watch the battle!

If someone could look down from a kilometer high in the sky, they would see many people converging toward North City, with the center of convergence being the headquarters of the Azure Flood Dragon Association.

When Chen Yuan arrived, the members of the Azure Flood Dragon Association were still grimly standing off against soldiers from the Military Equipment Army. Neither side said much, seemingly waiting for a key figure’s arrival.

Fittingly, Chen Yuan was that key figure.

“I am Colonel Yang Heng, under the command of Capital Commandant Lv of the Military Equipment Army. Greetings, Patrol Envoy Chen!”

A middle-aged man in battle armor and at the Heavenly Gang Realm advanced solemnly bowing to Chen Yuan, placing himself in a subordinate position and not daring to be disrespectful in his speech.

“Colonel Yang has worked hard.”

Chen Yuan nodded.

“It’s no trouble. The Commandant has ordered that once Lord Chen arrives, all these soldiers under me will follow your commands.”

Gazing around, Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction. These soldiers numbered about a thousand, and even though most were not elite, their sheer numbers could overwhelm the members of the Azure Flood Dragon Association.

Compared with the Dragon Tiger Sect, the Azure Flood Dragon Association had more disciples.

Because a sect and a gang are completely different.

“Brothers of the Wind Camp, heed the order! Today, Patrol Envoy Chen is our chief commander,” Yang Heng declared loudly.

“Greetings, Patrol Envoy Chen!”

“Greetings, Patrol Envoy Chen!”

A thousand voices shouted, their volume enough to spread across much of North City.

Chen Yuan raised his hand to silence them and rode to the front of the Azure Flood Dragon Association’s main gate. His indifferent gaze made the members of the gang retreat continuously, their faces filled with fear.

After glancing at them briefly and not taking them to heart, Chen Yuan raised his head and yelled loudly,

“Tang Qian, come out and meet your death!”
