Swordholder

The Lu family members who came with Gou Zhanjun were seething with anger.

Having been humiliated by the Chen family repeatedly today, everyone felt a deep sense of resentment.

"A-Yuan, we're here!"

Li Wei's voice came from the flower boat on the lake. In an instant, he jumped to the lake shore and quickly came to Chen Yuan's side with Nuomi, warily looking around for enemies.

"How did you get here?"

Chen Yuan's expression turned solemn; he didn't want Li Wei and Nuomi to get into this dangerous place.

"Nonsense, how could Nuomi and I just stand by and watch you get ganged up on?"

Li Wei raised his head, and his hands were quickly covered with a layer of golden luster.

"Don't act rashly. I am now a squad leader of the Wuxiang Division. I know what I'm doing and nothing will happen."

Chen Yuan lowered his voice and gave instructions.

He acted with such impunity because Chen Xiaoying had helped him obtain the identity of a Wuxiang Guardian, with the rank of squad leader.

"Hehe, Nuomi and I have also become Wuxiang Guardians. It was also given to us by Auntie that we came here specifically to help you..."

Li Wei lowered his voice, his eyes darting around, and chuckled:

"Sister Ning also wanted to help, but her aunt took her away, saying she was going to take her to Wangdong Prefecture to enter some Wangdong Academy."

"What?"

Chen Yuan was taken aback. "They've already set off?"

"Not yet. Your aunt will definitely wait until you finish dealing with things here before you set off."

Li Wei replied in a low voice while keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to part ways with Chen Zhaoning before even exchanging a word with her.

Wangdong University?

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes.

Chen Xiaoying's decision to send Chen Zhaoning to Wangdong Academy was probably also to protect her.

Looking back, I realize that my entry into the Formless Gate was also for my own protection.

Nuomi's figure gradually became transparent and quietly disappeared into the void, beginning to secretly hunt down the Lu family and Gou family cultivators on the outer perimeter.

"what!"

The next instant, piercing screams echoed from the surrounding area!

To everyone's horror, the heads of their companions would fly off into the air without warning!

In just a dozen breaths, hundreds of cultivators perished.

This scene is absolutely horrifying!

"Ah, it's an evil spirit!"

The Lu family members were shocked.

"It's that little demon!"

Lu Sidao's eyes widened suddenly!

He realized that there was a little girl next to Chen Yuan, who was an evil spirit!

"kill!"

At the same time, Chen Yuan, Li Wei, and Nuomi continued to charge towards the remaining members of the Lu family, beginning a frenzied slaughter.

With the presence of the invisible evil spirit Nuomi, the Lu family was thrown into a panic, their fighting spirit greatly diminished, and they began to be slaughtered by Chen Yuan and his two companions!

Meanwhile, Lu family patriarch, Lu Sidao, and others were stopped by Chen Qingtian alone.

Lu Sidao grew anxious and roared towards the distant mountains and forests, "Go to hell, Gou Zongdao! Your son Gou Zhanjun has been killed, why aren't you coming out?"

"You're so tolerant, are you a coward or a bastard?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of countless cultivators watching from all directions changed drastically.

Lu Sidao was at his wit's end. Why weren't Gou Zongdao and the others coming out?

His Lu family suffered heavy losses.

In front of Palm Lake, there is a large flat area, and in the distance, there are mountains and forests.

As Lu Sidao finished speaking, a deafening roar echoed through the mountains and forests, shaking the earth.

A large number of people rushed here quickly.

Among them were law enforcement guards, government officials, and even the Tianqing Army, forming a powerful wave that surged towards this place.

"If any of you dare to riot here, suppress you all!"

As Qi Boheng’s voice rang out, thousands of Tianqing soldiers roared in unison.

kill!

A murderous aura soared to the heavens!

The arena fell silent instantly, and countless people trembled with fear.

The Lu family members all stepped back, distancing themselves from Chen Yuan and Li Wei.

Both Chen Yuan and Li Wei are too powerful.

Gradually, a delicate and beautiful little girl, like a porcelain doll, appeared beside Chen Yuan.

It is glutinous rice.

At this moment, she acted as if nothing had happened, looking around and blinking her big eyes.

Everyone looked at Nuomi, a chill running down their spines.

She was the one who pulled out countless heads before!

Niu Sengru's eyes were extremely gloomy as he glared fiercely at Lu Sidao!

He resented that the other party was so trashy that they hadn't managed to kill Chen Yuan.

However, now it's impossible for him to drag the Chen family into this mess.

The other side only sent Chen Qingtian, and they even had a reason for doing so: they said they couldn't fight in front of his house, so it was reasonable for them to hold off the Lu family patriarch.

"Take all three of them back!"

Gou Zongdao pointed at Chen Yuan, Li Wei, and Nuomi, roaring through gritted teeth.

"Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be killed without mercy!"

Sun Chengzong also spoke in a deep voice, looking at Chen Qingtian.

"yes!"

Countless powerful figures approached Chen Yuan with murderous intent.

"Wait a moment."

Just then, from the dozen or so flower boats on the lake, a group of middle-aged men with robust breathing and an elderly man jumped aboard.

It was all the high-ranking members of the Chen family.

Chen Qingcang was among them.

Seeing that the Chen family was about to make a move, Niu Sengru and the others were overjoyed.

Gou Zongdao immediately retorted forcefully, "What? Is your Chen family protecting a murderer? Are you plotting a rebellion?"

"Guards! If they dare to move, kill them without mercy!"

Qi Boheng, the commander of the Tianqing Army, immediately roared and drew his long sword with a clang!

kill!

The well-organized Tianqing Army, with its rows of long spears, marched in perfect unison, assuming a battle stance.

Niu Sengru and the others stared intently at Chen Qingcang, hoping that Chen Qingcang would be tough and fight them.

Even the furious Gou Zongdao was excited, staring intently at Chen Qingcang.

In his view, Chen Qingcang would definitely make a move!

After all, the other party had been protecting Chen Yuan from the very beginning, and they certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch them take Chen Yuan away.

Just as the atmosphere reached its peak of tension, and a great battle was about to erupt, Chen Qingcang smiled.

"Hehe, I came down here merely to play peacemaker."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Sidao and smiled, "Patriarch Lu, why don't we just let this matter drop and leave it at that?"

Everyone was stunned when he said that.

What kind of talk is that?

Playing peacemaker?

Is this the end?

who do you think You Are?

All the powerful figures in the Tianqing government looked at Chen Qingcang as if he were a fool.

Lu Sidao laughed in anger, pointing at the corpses scattered on the ground, and said coldly, "Then all the people from my Lu family died in vain?"

Chen Qingcang waved his hand and said with a smile, "There's nothing we can do about it. You're the ones who sent Chen Yuan out to die. You're all trash, and you got beaten to death, so you can't blame others for it, can you?"

"Chen Qingcang! You son of a bitch..."

Lu Sidao gritted his teeth, wishing he could grind the old man in front of him to dust!

The Lu family patriarch's gaze turned extremely gloomy, and he wanted to beat Chen Qingcang's despicable face to a pulp.

Chen Qingcang ignored them and instead looked at Niu Sengru and Gou Zong, saying, "Hehe, Lord Niu, Lord Gou, you're exaggerating. What riot?"

"The riots were a bloodbath between two families, but what about now? This is clearly the Lu family invading!"

"Tell me, isn't the Lu family shameless?"

"Using everyone to deal with a junior?"

Chen Qingcang's words caused many Beastmaster cultivators to turn extremely gloomy.

The remaining members of the Lu family, in particular, clenched their fists tightly, as if they had feces stuck in their throats.

Many of the onlookers wore strange expressions.

The Lu family has truly lost face!

Niu Sengru stared at Chen Qingcang and said in a gloomy tone, "Chen Yuan is killing people so recklessly. It seems that your Chen family is behind it!"

"Well, it seems the Chen family is inextricably linked to this matter!"

He then looked at Qi Boheng and said coldly, "Lord Qi, I suggest that everyone in the Chen family be arrested and interrogated thoroughly!"

"good!"

Qi Boheng's gaze darkened, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit!

"Hehe, Lord Niu, I advise you not to make baseless accusations."

Chen Qingcang sneered, his eyes deep and unfathomable, and suddenly said, "What does the fight between Chen Yuan and the Lu family have to do with my Chen family?"

Everyone was stunned when he said that.

Holy crap?

How shameless!

"Chen Qingcang, how could you be so shameless as to say such a thing?"

Lu Sidao immediately roared, his eyes bloodshot, "Isn't Chen Yuan your grandson?"

Everything he does represents your Chen family!

So, your Chen family wants to rebel!

Chen Qingcang spread his hands, facing the murderous gazes of Niu Sengru and the others, and laughed:

"I have already handed Chen Yuan over to the state. He is now a member of the imperial court, no longer a member of the Chen family. His actions, of course, represent the imperial court!"

The surroundings fell into a deathly silence!

Everyone was stunned.

What?

Hand it over to the state?

Niu Sengru, Gou Zongdao, Qi Boheng and others felt a jolt in their hearts.

Their expressions changed drastically, and a bad premonition welled up in their hearts.

"Chen Qingcang, you're talking nonsense! What do you mean by handing it over to the state?"

Lu Sidao roared, his face extremely gloomy.

"Naturally, we should hand over our talent to the state."

Chen Qingcang smiled and pointed at Chen Yuan, saying, "Although he is my grandson, he is also the captain of the Wuxiang Guard of the Wuxiang Sect."

At this point, Chen Qingcang's gaze swept over the gloomy faces of the crowd.

"Moreover, this captain of the Wuxiang Guard was jointly promoted by the Lord of Wangdong Prefecture and the Lord of the Executive Court."

"What? Do you want to see the appointment letters for the Eastern Palace Master and the Chief Justice?"

Chen Qingcang didn't keep anyone in suspense and immediately took out the letter of appointment.

The appointment letter also bore the seals of the Wangdong Prefecture and the Court of Justice, their crimson color as blood, piercing the soul!

"Wh...what?"

"No...this is impossible!"

Lu Sidao was stunned, his lips murmured, his expression dazed, unable to believe it.

Niu Sengru, Gou Zongdao, and Sun Chengzong stared intently at the appointment letter in Chen Qingcang's hand, their expressions extremely gloomy!

Oh shit!

Failed!

They never expected that Chen Qingcang would have such courage to hand over such a prodigy to the Wuxiang Sect!
