Swordholder

Zhou Ye was a little confused.

So greedy?

"But what about Lord Ma...?"

He spoke hesitantly.

Chen Yuan had Li Wei allocate a bunch of cultivation resources to Zhou Ye, and then told him to get out.

Zhou Ye immediately shut up.

Fine, get out!

He took his share, sullenly rolled out of the room, and closed the door behind him.

Leaning against the door, his expression was complicated. He gritted his teeth inwardly, knowing that he was also involved and that Chen Yuan would take the blame if anything happened.

Then what is he worried about!

···

······

Inside the room, only Chen Yuan, Li Wei, and Nuomi remained.

Although the visibility was dim, the huge pile of cultivation resources illuminated the faces of Chen Yuan and the other two, making them look like demons grinning maliciously.

The three of them immediately began their cultivation.

They were incredibly fanatical, wanting to use all the resources of the Human Desire Pavilion to improve their cultivation.

Li Wei wants to break through to the Yellow Court realm, while Chen Yuan wants to break through to the late Yellow Court stage.

Only when he reached the later stage of the Huangting era did Chen Yuan no longer fear those so-called officials in Tianshan County.

Even the governor of Tianshan County... he dared to fight them head-on!

Li Wei and Nuomi also understood the situation of the three of them.

Without the protection of the Chen family, it would be extremely dangerous.

So they all practiced diligently.

They also carried cultivation resources they had obtained from the Chen family and even from the aristocratic family assessment conference, so their resources were quite plentiful.

Both the black and red pills contained immense demonic and malevolent spiritual power. After Chen Yuan gave a portion of the red pill to Nuomi, he began to circulate the Demon God Devouring Heaven Technique and the Evil God Devouring Heaven Technique to frantically refine and devour them.

They didn't let go of any other cultivation resources, such as rare red, white, and black spirit stones, or even the abilities within Yang Gold and Moon Silver.

Buzz————

Chen Yuan felt completely comfortable, surrounded by three dazzling rays of light: black, white, and red.

This frenzied absorption greatly enhanced the strength of his muscles, bones, and meridians.

Finally, once all resources have turned to ash, they can no longer be replenished.

"Damn it, not enough!"

Chen Yuan opened his eyes, and a red and black light rose in them.

So he simply opened all his spiritual apertures and devoured the spiritual power between heaven and earth.

However, it is night now, and the spiritual energy swirling between heaven and earth is red.

A dense crimson spiritual energy swept in, enveloping the entire Desire Tower in a layer of bloody aura, leaving many who witnessed it stunned.

"What's going on?"

Reaching the first floor, Zhou Ye stood at the entrance and glanced in astonishment at the Human Desire Building behind him.

"Who is that kid?"

Zhou Ye's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

His cloudy eyes darted around, and after a moment's thought, he walked into a side alley, came to a dark wooden window, and spoke in a low voice.

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger".

Silence reigned all around. After a quarter of an hour, a clear, melodious female voice came from inside the window.

"Chicken stew with mushrooms".

------

The Yang family.

This is one of the top Xuanxiang families in Tianshan County.

This is not only because the head of the family, Yang Liu, is the chief of the Law Enforcement Division, but also because his eldest daughter, Yang Guoguo, is the chief of the tenth division of the Wuxiang Division, and his second son, Yang Gang, is a captain.

Many important disciples of the family hold key positions in the Wuxiang Division and the Enforcement Division.

Most importantly, their family also has some connection with the lord of Zhen Dong Prefecture.

Therefore, even the prefect would give the Yang family some face.

But tonight, in the Yang family's council hall, everyone's faces were gloomy and filled with murderous intent.

In the middle of the hall, a bloodied corpse with its head crushed lay there, while the sound of a woman crying could be heard to one side.

"Damn it, who is that new Captain Chen? Does he dare to kill my son?"

Yang Liu was a burly, middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and large eyes, and a pair of curved horns on the sides of his head.

"Then Director Ma said that the guy was sent by the Lord of Wangdong Prefecture, so he didn't dare to touch him and handed the body over to us to handle ourselves."

An old man from the Yang family spoke with a ferocious grin.

"What? How is this possible???"

Yang Liu looked completely incredulous.

If it was someone sent by the Lord of Wangdong Prefecture, how come he didn't know?

"Report!"

Just then, someone else strode in from outside.

He looked hurried.

"What happened?"

Yang Liu's eyes flashed with rage, her anger rising.

"The brothel on Beishan Ninth Street has a new owner! I heard it's a new captain surnamed Chen."

The young man who rushed in quickly reported, his face filled with anger, "At first, Manager Deng ignored him, but he killed Manager Deng and all the guards!"

"He possessed demonic abilities, causing Manager Deng and his guards to be completely obliterated!"

After he said that, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone looked shocked.

"Damn it, is Ma Ling'en disrespecting the Yang family?"

"That little beast killed my son, so immediately make him take my son's place as the head of the manor..."

Yang Liu's expression changed drastically as she said this, "Oh no, where is that brat Yang Yu?"

The others realized what was happening and immediately looked around.

"Quickly, stop that kid from going to the brothel!"

Yang Liu roared again and immediately ordered someone to find his youngest son, Yang Yu.

The rest of the people were all terrified.

They glanced at the time and realized something was wrong.

Yang Yu, relying on his brother Yang Gang being the master of the Desire Pavilion, would go there every night at this time to humiliate those human women!

But now, the Human Desire Pavilion has a new owner!

He's still such a reckless guy!

"Quickly, tell Yang Guoguo to take some people over there and take a look."

Yang Liu looked worried and immediately shouted.

Immediately, someone ran out quickly.

------

"So good..."

In a room of the Desire Tower, Chen Yuan opened his eyes and ended his cultivation.

This frenzied cultivation and absorption resulted in a tremendous improvement in his entire body and bones.

To his dismay, however, since the three vortexes were enveloped in a layer of golden light, the amount of energy they needed to absorb had increased significantly.

This resulted in him being just a tiny bit short of advancing to the late stage of the Yellow Court realm.

"It seems I'll have to devour the blood and energy of a large number of beastmen..."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, hoping someone would come looking for trouble. That way, he could kill the other person, devour their flesh and blood essence, as well as all their spiritual power.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he realized something was wrong. He frowned slightly, raised his hands, and looked at the two marks on his palms.

When did I become so bloodthirsty and cruel?

How is this any different from being a demon?

However, after a moment, he was somewhat speechless.

In this environment, survival itself is a luxury.

So what if it's evil or demonic?

So what if he's a demon?

As long as one is powerful and can do what one wants, then it doesn't matter.

If you feel you want to save someone, then save them!

If you believe someone deserves to die, then kill them!

Why worry so much?

Just like the human woman in this Desire Tower, if he can help her within reasonable limits, then he will.

If we can't help them, then this is just their fate.

Life and death are determined by fate!

However, Chen Yuan himself felt that his fate was in his own hands, not in the hands of heaven!

As his thoughts drifted to this point, he suddenly felt a sense of clarity and immense comfort.

Bang bang bang!

Just then, a loud slamming sound came from downstairs!

Chen Yuan frowned, not wanting to disturb Li Wei and Nuomi's cultivation, got up, opened the door, and went downstairs.

It's late at night now, who would cause trouble in the middle of the night?

When Chen Yuan arrived at the lobby on the first floor, Meng Gu finally opened the tightly closed door with trembling hands.

It was obvious that she knew the person outside the door.

"Damn it, what's going on at the Human Desire Building tonight? I just got back from a mission and came straight here wanting to have some fun, why is the door closed!"

A loud curse rang out, causing all the women in the hall to tremble.

When they saw Chen Yuan come down, instead of breathing a sigh of relief, they showed concern.

"My lord, it's Yang Yu! He...he's here!"

"I...I had no choice but to open the door..."

Sweat beaded on Meng Gu's forehead as she spoke in a trembling voice, her eyes filled with apprehension and fear.

The other women trembled, as if they had heard a man-eating beast about to enter.

Zhou Ye frowned upon hearing this person's name.

"Yang Yu?"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"He is also the captain of the Unseen Guardian."

Zhou Ye spoke in a low voice, glancing at the crowd with apprehension, and said...

"This man enjoys torture and killing. Many girls in the Human Desire Pavilion were brutally raped to death by him during his pleasure."

"Therefore, any woman he chooses to sleep with is essentially being taken by the King of Hell."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan frowned.

Are there really such scumbags?

But then again, what kind of scum doesn't exist in this world?

"Huh? Why is the door closed?"

At this moment, a young man with horns on both sides of his head slowly walked in.

The person had a fair complexion, small eyes, and a chilling light emanating from the slits of their eyes.

His gaze swept across the scene, landing on Meng Gu. He immediately strode forward, grabbed Meng Gu's hair, pulled her head over, and slapped her twice, making her cheeks red and blood trickle from the corner of her mouth.

"Why the hell are you closing the door? I'm not even here yet, shut the door for me!"

Yang Yu shouted loudly, causing the remaining twenty or thirty women to back away in unison, looking at him in fear.

Meng Gu looked at Chen Yuan with pleading eyes.

"Um?"

Yang Yu narrowed her eyes, following Meng Gu's gaze to Chen Yuan, her brows furrowing slightly. "Who the hell are you?"

Chen Yuan pulled up a chair, crossed his legs, raised his head slightly, and narrowed his eyes slightly. "I am the owner of this place."

Yang Yu thought she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

This is the original poster. He's clearly Yang Gang, so how come he's this little brat in front of me?

In his view, the other party was clearly playing him for a fool.

Suddenly, he saw Zhou Ye. "You bastard, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Ye coughed lightly but didn't speak.

"Forget it, I'll settle the score with you two bastards later. I'm furious right now."

Yang Yu waved his hand, casually tossing Meng Gu aside, and then walked over to the women to begin selecting.

The group of women huddled together, all trembling as if they were being stared at by death.

Meng Gu glanced at Chen Yuan, who remained unmoved, sighed helplessly, lowered her head, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and felt a deep sorrow in her heart.

All the women wore expressions of sorrow.

But a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old was still chosen.

Yang Yu roughly dragged her out, ignoring her tearful gaze, and tried to pull her towards the side room on the second floor.

"Waaaaah..."

The girl wept, her pitiful gaze fixed on Chen Yuan.

What I could see was a detached gaze.

She was filled with despair and her heart sank to ashes.

This Yang Yu is a member of the Yang family. Although the other party dared to kill Manager Deng, how could they dare to provoke the Yang family?

The other women all looked on with a sense of shared sorrow, knowing that death was inevitable for them here.

"stop."

Just then, a calm voice rang out, breaking the tense atmosphere in the room.

"Um?"

Yang Yu glanced sideways at Chen Yuan, who was speaking, her eyes narrowing.

"All the girls are off tonight; no customers."

Chen Yuan glanced at him and said calmly.

"Ha! You think I'm being too polite?"

Yang Yu sneered, a surge of anger rising within him.

He released the little girl from his grasp and slowly walked up to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was sitting, while he was standing.

So Yang Yu adopted a condescending posture and said, "Who the hell do you think you are?"

Chen Yuan raised his eyelids and at the same time kicked Yang Yu hard in the crotch!
