Chapter 605: Chapter 417 Qi Fortune Arrives! (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch support from Haha I’m Here Too)

Jiang He’s tone was very solemn, the first time Chen Yuan had ever seen such an expression on his face. He nodded immediately:

“Sir, rest assured, I will give it my all this time!”

Then, Jiang He carefully explained the ins and outs to Chen Yuan, emphasizing that the position of Imperial City Commander was not important. What mattered was Chen Yuan’s participation in the ancestral ceremony.

Only then could they tamper with it.

As for the now-deceased Imperial City Commander, he hadn’t been killed by someone from the Taoist Divine Palace as Chen Yuan thought. At this critical juncture, they wouldn’t let the court notice anything unusual.

The goal was to win covertly.

Although the Taoist Divine Palace was strong, in the court’s view, it still had a significant gap, especially considering the several True Monarchs—an insurmountable chasm!

If the Taoist Divine Palace had the capability to deal with several True Monarchs, why would they need any strategies? Wouldn’t it be better to just march directly into the Capital and sweep through?

After reaching a certain level of strength, overpowering the opposition is the true pathway to power!

“The position of Imperial City Commander, with my qualifications, seems… insufficient.”

Zhang Xuan had previously told Chen Yuan about the important positions within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau in the Capital, and the Imperial City Commander was one of them. The Capital was divided into the Inner and Outer Cities.

Both had four Great Commanders guarding the four major city gates, ranking just below the Golden Envoys of the provinces within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

The Outer City was the Capital, and the Inner City was the Imperial City.

It contained the Imperial Palace and the residences of the royal family’s descendants and most high-ranking ministers. Each time a royal court meeting was held, they passed through the gates of the Imperial City.

It couldn’t be considered unimportant.

Unfortunately, in recent years, Jingtai had intentionally weakened the power of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau. Among the four Great Commanders of the Imperial City, two had already been replaced by officials from the Imperial Supervision Bureau, and the two sides were quite hostile to each other.

Jiang He spoke indifferently:

“Jiang knows you have a good relationship with Zhang Xuan. His father, a Divine Envoy with a ‘Xuan’ character in his title, holds a high position and great power in the court. After you enter the Capital, you should first visit him. This is my letter of introduction; he will be inclined towards you after reading it.”

As he spoke, Jiang He waved his hand, and a letter slowly floated in front of Chen Yuan.

He continued:

“Over the years, I’ve managed to build some influence within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau. Apart from Zhang Xuan’s father, I will also use some other connections. The position of Imperial City Commander holds great potential for you.”

Chen Yuan nodded, his mind clear.

The Taoist Divine Palace had indeed prepared these preliminary conditions. Along with his relationship with Zhang Xuan, if he could get the support of that Divine Envoy,

He stood a good chance of ascending to the position of Imperial City Commander.

“I understand.”

“There are many of Jingtai’s spies within the Capital. Although the Taoist Divine Palace has operated for many years, they have not penetrated deeply, consisting mostly of peripheral members. They cannot be fully trusted,

you must be cautious upon entering, prioritizing your safety above all else.”

“Rest assured, Sir.”

The Capital teemed with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, numerous powerful individuals, serving as the most important stronghold of the royal court. Naturally, it was incomparable to other regions, where the influence of the court seemed to decline year by year.

But in Central State, the Sima Family still held firm control.

He had been aware of this for a long time.

This journey was fraught with both opportunities and dangers.

Jiang He looked at Chen Yuan for a moment, speaking softly:

“I have found the whereabouts of Xiao Yusheng’s daughter, Xiao Qingmu.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan’s eyes instantly brightened. If there was a chance to deal with these remnants of the Qingyun Sword Sect, he would certainly not let it slip by. It would avoid future troubles.

One wouldn’t come up with such plans if one’s brain wasn’t functioning properly!

“Where are they?”

He immediately asked.

“Looking at their route, they are planning to go to Central State. By now, they should have just entered the territory of Central State. Will you handle it yourself, or should the Taoist Divine Palace take care of them directly?”

Chen Yuan smiled and slowly shook his head:

“Since we have found these people’s traces and our paths serendipitously align, there’s no need to trouble the Taoist Divine Palace. Some grudges are due for a resolution!”

It was a feud he had with the people from the Qingyun Sword Sect, according to his original plans, he was prepared to personally take action to obliterate their sect, but everything had happened too quickly.

The other party hadn’t given him a chance to grow. Facing a Reach Profound Martial Artist, they directly deployed a Yang Transformation True Master, and he had no choice but to seek help from the Taoist Divine Palace, relying on several Daoists to resolve them.

Although it was completely settled, he still felt a burning anger inside.

If he could resolve it personally, that would be best.

Moreover, Chen Yuan had a suspicion based on past experiences that Xiao Qingmu could very likely bring him a child of Qi Fortune; otherwise, their entanglement wouldn’t be so deep.

Even if it was just a possibility, he still didn’t want to miss it.

“Very well, then you take action yourself.”

Jiang He didn’t insist on anything else. The remnants of the Qingyun Sword Sect, with the strongest only having Reach Profound Cultivation, were nothing to Chen Yuan, who had already entered the Core Realm. He could annihilate them with a flick of his wrist.

Reach Profound…

They weren’t worthy of his concern.

After some casual talk, the two discussed some matters related to Central State. Jiang He’s understanding of Central State was quite profound, as he was originally from a minor family under one of the prefecture cities in Central State.

There had been a rumor in Jianghu that Jiang He had once suffered a broken engagement, an event that also took place within Central State.

However, Chen Yuan later found out that Jiang He’s family had been wiped out, and the instigators were related to Zhao Hao’s parents, thus Jiang He’s relentless destruction of the Zhao family.

It seemed to be another version of the saying, “Thirty years on the east of the river, thirty years on the west; don’t bully the young into poverty.”
