Chapter 410 - 410 349 Opportunities Nameless Heavenly

Chapter 410: Chapter 349 Opportunities, Nameless Heavenly Stele!_2 Chapter 410: Chapter 349 Opportunities, Nameless Heavenly Stele!_2 Chen Yuan was now only at the Reach Profound Middle Stage, yet to enter the Heavenly Element Realm!

And Bai Changqing, with his innate sword body, hadn’t managed to defeat him even with cultivation from the Heavenly Palace. If he were to break through to the Heavenly Palace, what would the outcome be? Many speculated quietly in their hearts.

In Chen Yuan’s mind, Bai Changqing must have been holding back; otherwise, his strength would appear even greater. It was evident that the other had already comprehended the Sword Intent, slightly stronger than him currently, though not too noticeably so.

Of course, he didn’t feel inferior to his opponent, as the old saying goes, “the cultivation speaks for itself.”

As the last level within the Reach Profound Realm, the Heavenly Palace Level offers tremendous help to martial artists. It is also the most challenging barrier in the Reach Profound stage,

stopping countless individuals.

If he were to break through to the Heavenly Palace, his strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.

On the deck of the giant ship, Zhao Hao, in tattered clothes, had eyes full of despair. At this moment, no one could help him; it seemed he could only wait for death.

Chen Yuan raised his head and scanned the surroundings; where his gaze reached, no one dared meet his gaze.

He took a step forward, his aura converging slowly onto the giant ship, where Shangguan Yu, who had been waiting for a while, stepped forward and greeted with a clasped hand, “From Shuzhou’s Shangguan family, Shangguan Yu, at your service, Brother Chen.”

“The Shangguan family, Shangguan Yu…” Chen Yuan’s gaze lingered on him for a moment upon hearing this.

He naturally knew who Shangguan Yu was — the eighth prodigy on the Hidden Dragon List, the contemporary legitimate successor of the Shangguan family from the central Shu region, with a significant reputation.

A proper family’s scion.

In the Central Plains, the Shangguan family’s reputation is not small, known as part of the ‘Five Families and Seven Sects’. They’re just a notch below the league of ‘One City, Two Halls, Three Palaces, Four Mountains’.

But still commanding enough to be looked up to.

No wonder he could occupy a principal position on his own, even Zhao Hao had to accompany him respectfully. Upon facing the other’s initiative to speak, Chen Yuan naturally wouldn’t put on airs and reciprocated politely:

“So it’s Brother Shangguan, long admired.”

“It’s merely a slight fame under the shadow of my family, nothing compared to Brother Chen, who carved out a niche for himself,” Shangguan Yu responded with a hearty laugh, not assuming an air of arrogance.

Speaking of which, he did hold some admiration for Chen Yuan, who had managed to forge such a reputation solely on his own ability, a feat impossible for the average person to achieve.

Even he would find it hard.

Of course, that was assuming the other party had truly made his way on his own without backing from some powers.

Within the numerous factions of Jianghu, many harbor ill feelings toward the imperial court, few have good sentiments, and precisely, the Shangguan family is one of the latter, with elders serving as officials in the court.

Hence, regarding Chen Yuan’s status as an imperial court officer, Shangguan Yu did not dislike him as ordinary people might.

All are figures who hustle through Jianghu; matters shouldn’t be dictated merely by personal likes and dislikes.

“Brother Shangguan is too kind.”

Chen Yuan smiled lightly.

“This time, Brother Chen and Brother Bai fought to a draw; there will no longer be any doubts in Jianghu. Initially, I also thought about exchanging moves with Brother Chen, but after witnessing the fight just now, I think it’s better not to.”

Shangguan Yu waved his hand and spoke softly:

“I’d rather not disgrace myself.”

“Brother Shangguan is being modest; I’ve long heard of your exceptional strength,” Chen Yuan remarked sincerely.

This statement was genuine.

Earlier, Chen Yuan had sensed the auras of both men; both Shangguan Yu and Bai Changqing gave him a sense of danger, the difference being that Bai Changqing appeared slightly more profound.

But Shangguan Yu was definitely not to be underestimated as well; defeating him wouldn’t be easy at all.

Shangguan Yu kept a light smile, and to be fair, he felt his strength was slightly below that of Chen Yuan, with slim chances of winning unless he resorted to some unorthodox strategies.

But Chen Yuan might also possess such strategies.

Therefore, it was better to avoid combat. An exchange of moves would be feasible. He then pointed at Zhao Hao on the ground and said:

“Brother Chen, finish your business first. If you don’t mind, perhaps we could have a drink together afterward?”

“Sure.”

Chen Yuan nodded his head. The other’s intent was clear—he wanted to make an acquaintance, and naturally, Chen Yuan wouldn’t refuse.

Walking up to Zhao Hao, Chen Yuan looked down on him:

“Is anyone still asking for help now?”

Zhao Hao coughed a few times and whispered,

“Chen… Brother Chen, spare my life. I am willing to offer all my wealth.”

“Do you think this envoy is short of such things?”

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Zhao Hao continued,

“I know, Brother Chen, you must be here related to Jiang, the Golden Envoy, but do you know that in the past, the Golden Envoy had agreed with Senior Li not to annihilate utterly and to dissolve all grudges?

If the Green Envoy kills me, it will surely anger Senior Li, and Jiang, the Golden Envoy, will not admit it was his instruction, thus plunging the Green Envoy into a perilous situation.”

“Why not spare my life, and from now on, Zhao Hao is willing to live incognito and never set foot in the Jianghu again? Thus, the Green Envoy can both settle the matter and not offend Senior Li, a solution that benefits both, what does the Green Envoy think?”

He took a deep breath, outlined his own situation and that of Chen Yuan, hoping to make him realize that killing him was a loss, with an implied threat still hanging in the air.

Even Chen Yuan had to admit, Zhao Hao was indeed a smart man. If there wasn’t the involvement of the Taoist Divine Palace between Chen Yuan and Jiang He, and if Zhao Hao didn’t possess Qi Fortune, perhaps he would really be tempted.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world!

Neither scenario gave Zhao Hao any reason to survive.

“It’s a pity, you have something I want.” Chen Yuan looked at this gentleman with a sword, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

Hearing this, Zhao Hao was overjoyed and hastily said,

“Green Envoy, whatever you want just ask, Zhao will present it with both hands, as long as it pleases you.”

At this moment, Zhao Hao no longer showed the defiant demeanor he had when calling Chen Yuan a hound of the court. Seeing the hope of life, he immediately knelt down.

“Really?”

“Really, truly, rest assured, Green Envoy.”

“Then thank you,” Chen Yuan raised his hand and then said,

“It’s just too bad you can’t present it, so I will have to take it myself.”

Zhao Hao was startled, not understanding the meaning in Chen Yuan’s words. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Chen Yuan raise his palm and smoothly wave it, sending a powerful surge of Gang Qi directly into his skull.

Crushing all vitality…

With a ‘thump’, Zhao Hao’s head completely sunk, emitting a faint muffled noise.

Under the Heavenly Eye, a dazzling blue light flashed from his mind, the Qi Fortune Altar turned, seeming to exert a powerful force, directly absorbing that streak of Qi Fortune into it.

Closing his eyes, Chen Yuan sensed a new opportunity guiding him.

“The Nameless Heavenly Stele stands at the Emei Peak, wordless and voiceless, hiding Immortal Fate!”

A brief clue, but it essentially described the location of this opportunity, the Nameless Heavenly Stele… This wasn’t the first time Chen Yuan had heard this name.

Previously, when Gu Hao’s father, Gu Chun, intercepted him and Jiang He appeared, the enemy had mentioned that within the Qingyun Sword Sect there was a Wordless Sword Monument. Later, Chen Yuan learned that it was a relic left by an ancient power.

The Qingyun Sword Sect had only a part of it, but even that part had allowed the Qingyun Sword Sect to establish itself in Qingzhou prominently, attracting many who wished to view it,

including Jiang He.

Unexpectedly, this time his opportunity was also related to a Nameless Stele; he wondered if there was an inevitable connection to that kind of Sword Stele.

As for Emei Mountain mentioned in this opportunity, Chen Yuan seemed to have read about it somewhere, but his memory was vague, otherwise, he would have thought of it immediately.

However, that was not too significant, whatever secrets Emei Mountain held, he was determined to see this peak’s Nameless Heavenly Stele.

Shangguan Yu, who was nearby, found Chen Yuan’s actions curious; why did he close his eyes after killing Zhao Hao? Could he be pondering some influence?

It should not be so. Since he dared to kill Zhao Hao, he showed no apprehensions.

Opening his eyes, a gleam flashed through Chen Yuan’s eyes. He glanced down at Zhao Hao on the ground and with a light wave, a powerful Gang Qi directly shattered him.
