Swordholder

boom!

The crowd realized what was happening, and the scene immediately became chaotic.

The pungent smell of blood and the grotesque head of Ma Lingtian were enough to jolt everyone's nerves!

Everyone turned to look at Xu Zhilong, their faces darkening.

It was Xu Zhilong who had previously suggested that Chen Yuan be appointed as the director, and he even took the initiative to let him speak.

It makes perfect sense for Chen Yuan to kill Ma Ling'en and become the head of the Ninth Division!

Even if Xu Zhilong denies it, no one will believe him.

"You...you..."

Xu Zhilong pointed at Chen Yuan, a million curses raging through his mind.

He hesitated for a long time, unsure of what to say next.

"Oh, I remember now, we still have our agreement. It's my fault. Let me continue."

Chen Yuan looked at Xu Zhilong, gave him a clean smile, and patted his chest to assure him:

"After I became the director, I took full control of the investigation into the remnants of the Sword-wielding faction and became the main person in charge."

"If I can't find the remaining sword-wielding traitors in the county town, I'll swallow excrement and kill myself on the spot!"

Everyone gasped in shock.

I rely on?

So ruthless?

Suicide by swallowing feces?

Everyone looked at the boy strangely.

From anger to shock, and then to admiration.

Even Zhou Ye was dumbfounded.

He never expected things to turn out this way.

He watched Chen Yuan earnestly talk about committing suicide by swallowing feces, completely ignoring the head and blood on the table.

This mentality, this unparalleled courage, deeply shocked him!

"Moreover, I already have some leads; I know where the remnants of the Sword-wielding forces are."

We also know who the Swordholder's spies are within our Tianshan official ranks!

Chen Yuan spoke again, his words always startling and unforgettable!

"What you're saying... is it true???"

Zhu Xiong, the director of the First Division, widened his eyes.

Yang Feng, the director of the Tenth Division, stared intently at Chen Yuan with a gloomy and uncertain expression.

"Of course it's true. Within seven days, I will find this traitor and eliminate him completely!"

Chen Yuan spoke with great conviction.

Everyone was immediately suspicious.

Even Xu Zhilong was stunned, staring at Chen Yuan in disbelief.

Is this just bragging?

Or is there really a clue?

Some people wanted to reprimand Chen Yuan for his insubordination and to take action against Ma Lingtian, but at this moment they felt as if they had been choked.

In the Great Xiang Empire, nothing is more important than capturing the Swordholder!

As for Chen Yuan killing Ma Lingtian, that can be attributed to personal grudges.

Moreover, with Xu Zhilong at the helm, six or seven directors were supporting Chen Yuan!

Chen Yuan realized that someone still wanted to make trouble for him, so why would he give them that chance?

He immediately took out the letter of appointment, showed it to everyone, and smiled:

"I actually wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, but all I got in return was contempt!"

"I'm not pretending anymore!"

"I'm coming clean!"

"That's right, I am a servant of Lord Wangdong. It was the Lord who appointed me here to serve as the head of the Wuxiang Division!"

"Its main purpose is to investigate the murder of Director Xu by the Swordholder!"

"So, even before I came here, I already had clues about the remnants of the Sword-wielding clique in the county town!"

"Especially before, I killed Ma Ling'en because I had ample reason to suspect he was a traitor within the Wuxiang organization!"

Those who wanted to criticize Chen Yuan for killing Ma Lingtian were immediately silenced upon hearing this.

Holy crap?

Sent by the Lord of Wangdong Prefecture?

Is Zun Du fake Du?

They all looked at the appointment letter in Chen Yuan's hand, and sure enough, it bore the seal of the Wangdong Prefecture!

Countless people gasped in shock.

That's good, he's now the Lord of Wangdong's man!

There's a secret mission, and they suspect Ma Ling'en is an inside agent!

Who would dare to voice any doubts?

Even Xu Zhilong's lips twitched!

Oh shit!

This kid is using someone else's name to make a big deal out of nothing again!

The higher-ups in Tianqing County had already reported Chen Yuan's situation to the higher-ups in Tianshan County.

Therefore, besides Ma Lingtian knowing Chen Yuan's true information, Xu Zhilong also knew it.

But the other team leaders, and even some of the directors, didn't know!

They all fell silent.

Xu Zhilong stared at Chen Yuan with a gloomy expression, but ultimately did not reveal the matter.

Zhu Xiong's eyes flickered. Seeing that no one was making trouble for Chen Yuan, he nodded.

"Since everyone has no objections, and with the support of Director Xu and others, from now on, Chen Yuan will be the Director of the Ninth Division!"

After saying that, he got up and led his men outside.

The rest of the people did the same.

However, someone glanced at Chen Yuan and their eyes widened suddenly.

After putting away his appointment letter, Chen Yuan openly began to search Ma Lingtian's corpse, and naturally hung the director's token on his waist.

At the same time, he also put away a storage bag.

Everyone's lips twitched; they couldn't be bothered to look at the boy anymore and left the place.

Countless people had mixed feelings, secretly thinking that with this ruthless human youth around, Tianshan County would definitely not be peaceful.

Xu Zhilong also stood up, snorted coldly at Chen Yuan, thought for a moment, lost the will to talk to Chen Yuan, and quickly left.

If he continues to stay here and talk to Chen Yuan, his collusion with Chen Yuan will become even more unclear.

······

The entire Tianshan County government was in an uproar after the meeting concluded.

The Yang family was furious, and even on the streets, countless people could hear Yang Liu's earth-shattering roar.

The prefect, the city magistrate, the commander of the Tianshan Army, and others all focused their attention on a human boy named Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's name quickly spread throughout the entire Tianshan County, causing a huge stir.

······

Human Desire Building.

The main hall on the first floor.

Chen Yuan sat lazily in the private room.

Menggu and the others diligently served snacks and fruits to the people nearby.

Chen Yuan wasn't used to being waited on by others, so he waved them away.

However, they stood not far away, gazing at Chen Yuan with faces full of admiration.

Since Chen Yuan arrived here, his power and influence have grown stronger and stronger.

None of the Wuxiang Guards dare to come here to enjoy themselves.

They finally have a moment of peace, no longer being violated by beasts, their backs don't ache, and their legs don't feel weak. This is ultimately a good thing.

But he was also very worried.

In their view, the more prominent Chen Yuan became, the more likely he was to get into trouble.

Even if nothing goes wrong, what if I get transferred?

Who will protect them now?

At that time, the beasts that have been holding back for a while will become even more ferocious and cruel, and I'm afraid none of them will be able to withstand them.

Chen Yuan knew what they were thinking and secretly pondered how to find a way out for them.

He'll leave here sooner or later.

So... what should we do with these girls?

If you don't offer shelter at all, or you offer shelter for a while and then leave, what kind of situation is that?

He couldn't help but glance at Zhou Ye, who looked uneasy, not far away, and began to ponder to himself.

"Ah Yuan, now that you've become the director, why don't you promote me to battalion commander?"

Li Wei rubbed his hands together and walked over with great interest.

He broke through the Yellow Court Realm and ended his secluded cultivation, only to find that Chen Yuan had done something so big in the Wuxiang Mansion. He was immediately annoyed that he couldn't be there to watch.

"it is good."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"Me too! I want to be the captain!"

While eating snacks and fruit, Nuomi raised her fist and spoke.

"Okay, Nuomi will be a team leader too."

Chen Yuan smiled and agreed.

"Yay! Great! I'm the captain now, I'm in charge of nine people!"

Nuomi clapped her hands excitedly and started counting on her fingers, asking how many people she needed to help her carry things and what she needed to do.

Chen Yuan glanced at her, paused for a moment, and then didn't pay much attention.

He is now the director of the Ninth Division, and most of the other captains are at the Dharma Body Realm. If Li Wei becomes the captain, he should be able to keep them in check.

Needless to say, glutinous rice is a different story; anyone who disobeys will be scratched to death.

Moreover, he needs the help of his two trusted confidants, Li Wei and Nuomi, for the upcoming investigation.

"that······"

At this moment, Zhou Ye walked over and said nervously, "Lord Chen, do you really have news of the Swordholder?"

Chen Yuan looked at him, his eyes narrowed, a smile playing on his lips, and nodded.

Zhou Ye's heart sank, but he still said, "That's fine then. I was worried that seven days wouldn't be enough."

Chen Yuan looked at him and said meaningfully, "Then you'll have to step up your game, Captain Zhou. I need your help."

Zhou Ye snapped out of his daze, his expression returning to normal. "My lord, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

Chen Yuan stood up, walked over to Zhou Ye, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Alright, then you go back first and gather everyone from the Nine Divisions. I need to make some personnel adjustments and arrangements."

"good!"

Zhou Ye nodded, turned around, and quickly left.

Chen Yuan looked at Li Wei, his gaze sweeping over Zhou Ye's departing figure. "Keep an eye on him."

"Okay!"

Li Wei had no objection and immediately nodded.

"Brother Yuan, what about me? Do you have any plans for me? I can handle it!"

Nuomi raised her little fist, blinked her big eyes, and spoke expectantly.

Chen Yuan stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Nuomi's innate ability is to make herself transparent, which is equivalent to being invisible.

Suddenly, an idea struck her. "Go and keep an eye on Xu Zhilong."

"Is it that sissy?"

Nuomi's eyes lit up. "Okay, I promise I'll complete the mission."
