Chapter 353 - 353 321 Taking Office in Tangshan (Extra)_2

Chapter 353: Chapter 321 Taking Office in Tangshan! (Extra)_2 Chapter 353: Chapter 321 Taking Office in Tangshan! (Extra)_2 Wang Dafu was keenly aware of where all of this had come from, so he behaved towards Chen Yuan with unexpected respect.

“Be on your way, cultivate diligently, and strive to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible,” he said.

After speaking, Chen Yuan gave the reins a tug and rode off into the distance.

Wang Ping’s gaze followed Chen Yuan’s retreating figure for a long while without waning.

“Why don’t you follow and leave?”

Having taken a deep breath, Wang Dafu now knew not to assume the role of a father before Wang Ping. Wang Ping had become the head of the Wang Family in Ping’an County.

“What’s there to follow with just Bone Refining Cultivation?” said Wang Ping with a self-mocking laugh.

The lowest Cultivation among Chen Yuan’s followers was likely stronger than his, and going along would only add to the chaos. Chen Yuan had indeed offered to take him along, mentioning that only through experience could one progress further on the path of Martial Arts.

However, Wang Ping had gracefully declined, and Chen Yuan did not bring it up again.

“Indeed…” Wang Dafu sighed and said,

“Chen Yuan is meant for great things. You couldn’t be of much help by his side, and it would even be dangerous. Aren’t things good as they are now? Our Wang Family is now a prominent clan in Ping’an County.”

“This is but a duckweed without roots, borrowing momentum solely from Brother Yuan. Without Brother Yuan, where would today’s Wang Ping be?” As he spoke, he took out the key to the Chen Family’s small courtyard from his chest.

Then he turned and left.

Wang Dafu asked, puzzled,

“Where are you going?”

“To clean up Brother Yuan’s home…” Wang Ping replied from a distance, whispering to himself, “It seems that this is the only small favor I can do for Brother Yuan.”

…

Having left Ping’an County City, Chen Yuan headed directly towards the southwest.

Since leaving Qingzhou City, he had already wasted half a month on the road. There was not much time left, and he had to reach Tangshan Prefecture as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, Tangshan Prefecture was not too far from Nanling Prefecture. All it would take was crossing one more prefecture to reach Tangshan in just a few more days.

Among the state prefectures on the way, Chen Yuan was familiar with one called Yun Yang Prefecture, which bordered Nanling Prefecture. Previously, after succeeding in his Condensing Evil, on his way back to Nanling Prefecture, he had encountered a few Jianghu Martial Artists from Yun Yang Prefecture who were hunting the legendary figure Miao Renfeng.

Unfortunately for them, they had provoked Chen Yuan and were all executed without exception. All from the same Sect, the Green Lotus Sword Sect.

After the killings, Chen Yuan had half-expected retaliation.

However, there was no trace of any, likely because he had covered his tracks too well back then, plus the absence of witnesses made it difficult to identify the culprit.

After all, even Miao Renfeng had died…

Such killings were too common in Jianghu to count for much.

Passing directly through Yun Yang Prefecture without any unexpected complications, it took Chen Yuan several days to finally arrive at his destination, Tangshan Prefecture!

From what he had learned in the Collection Pavilion in Qingzhou City, the reason Tangshan Prefecture was so named was due to a mountain range rich in natural resources and abundant with Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy,

making it an excellent place for the growth of Spirit Grass and Spiritual Objects.

This mountain range was known as the Tangshan Mountain Range.

Upon entering Tangshan Prefecture, Chen Yuan and his followers greatly reduced their speed and began to conceal their movements. His position as the Green Envoy had been secured;

it was to replace the current Tangshan Green Envoy, who was as yet unaware of this fact.

No news had spread from Qingzhou City; Jiang He wished for him to catch the culprits involved in the Blood Sacrifice case totally unawares.

Initially, Chen Yuan thought this would be somewhat challenging since such collusions tend to be secretive. But to his complete surprise,

Tangshan had decayed to such an extent!

Even as he walked along the side of the road, he could clearly hear passersby casually discussing matters of collusion between the Government and Jianghu organizations.

As if…

This was the norm.

Concerning the Vegetable Knife Gang which Zhao Nanshan had mentioned, according to his investigations, it was still in power, with a massive force of over a thousand members, seizing control of several mines. The Gang Leader Shen Yongzhi, was a Reach Profound Late Stage Martial Artist.

It was rumored that the name “Vegetable Knife Gang” was coined by him.

In his early years, he had forged his reputation by cutting down ten streets with only two vegetable knives in his hands, thus cementing his notoriety. From there, Shen Yongzhi founded the Vegetable Knife Gang, which acted without restraint.

In just a few decades, he became the most prominent Reach Profound Martial Artist in Tangshan Prefecture.

He himself had several sons and daughters and through marriages, he had connected all of Tangshan’s top forces, making it an impregnable unit.

Stories of Shen Yongzhi’s legendary exploits were passed down by countless people, and many Martial Artists in Tangshan aimed to emulate him!

One could say that the entire Tangshan Prefecture was rotten to the core.

Much worse than Nanling Prefecture.

The infamous Tang Triangle lives up to its reputation!

If it hadn’t been for the blood sacrifice incident, Chen Yuan felt that Shen Yongzhi might indeed have become the underground emperor of Tangshan Prefecture.

Unfortunately for him, he had encountered Chen Yuan.

No matter who he was, he would ultimately be extinguished under Chen Yuan’s fists.

That day, Chen Yuan arrived at a county town closest to Tangshan Prefecture City. With only a few more hours, he would reach Tangshan Prefecture City,

and this was where he had prepared to start his sweep through Tangshan Prefecture.

He had been in Tangshan Prefecture for two days without showing himself, simply waiting for an opportunity to break the situation and declare the arrival of Chen Yuan to the entire Tangshan Prefecture.

There were no grandmasters in Tangshan Prefecture, so what could possibly hold him back?

This county town was named Lushui County, one of the several key locations of the Vegetable Knife Gang, and the gang Chen Yuan had chosen to reveal his blade against.

Apart from because of Zhao Nanshan, even more importantly, he took an interest in this Shen Yongzhi.

After confirming his investigation, Chen Yuan and his group stealthily arrived at a rather famous inn in Lushui County. The servant greeted them with a beaming smile and arranged seats for Chen Yuan and his party.

The inn was noisy, filled with a cacophony of people discussing rumors from all corners of the land, and Chen Yuan even heard his own name among the chatter, which made him sigh to himself,

he was indeed becoming famous in Qingzhou now.

The food in the inn was good, and the group ate their meal calmly. Before long, Mo Donghe, wearing a bamboo hat, entered the inn and subtly nodded to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan understood and nodded slightly in return, his hand movements uninterrupted as he continued to pick food from his plate.

Shortly after Mo Donghe, a young man dressed in fine clothes followed, with four or five guards armed with swords behind him.

As soon as the young man entered the inn, all the patrons’ eyes were drawn to him, and the previously bustling noise suddenly froze.

The calculating shopkeeper was startled and hurriedly squeezed out a smile, trotting over to the young man and bowing as he said,

“Young Master Shen.”

The man referred to as Young Master Shen had a flushed face and reeked of alcohol, but his posture was stable, suggesting he was not quite drunk yet.

Shen Tao glanced at the somewhat plump shopkeeper and stepped forward to pat his face,

“I just heard that there were a few good-looking young ladies in the inn, where are they?”

The shopkeeper’s face was sweating as he quickly replied,

“Young Master Shen, these are all the guests on the first and second floors of our inn, there are no beautiful ladies.”

Shen Tao’s brow furrowed and his gaze slowly swept over the first floor. Although there were a few women, they were far from beautiful, and he felt a surge of anger rising within him.

Without thinking, he pushed the shopkeeper aside and scolded, “Get out of the way.”

“Ah… ah… I’ll get out of the way immediately.”

The shopkeeper’s face bore a forced smile. This inn was an enterprise owned by the Vegetable Knife Gang, and he was but a dog of the Shen Family, naturally he wouldn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction. Besides,

one should never provoke Young Master Shen when he’s drunk.

It had been spreading around Lushui County lately that Shen Yongzhi had arranged a marriage for Shen Tao to secure an alliance, but the other party disdained him, labeling him as a good-for-nothing playboy.

The marriage proposal was eventually retracted, and Shen Tao, humiliated and furious, was powerless to respond. He was just an illegitimate son, after all, and Shen Yongzhi wouldn’t stick his neck out for him and offend a power equal to the Vegetable Knife Gang.

So, he had been drowning his sorrows in wine these past few days.

Two days prior, two women of Jianghu were nearly beaten to death by him for defying his will.

And yet, nothing happened to him in the end.

It was rumored in Lushui that in the past two months, the one person you didn’t want to provoke was Shen Tao.

A spoiled playboy, drowning his sorrows in wine, with a terrible reputation,

and that was why Chen Yuan had set his sights on him!
