Swordholder

Cai Fu and Gao Zhongliang exchanged a glance, stopping Gan Pinghua and the others from speaking.

They both understood perfectly.

These young people speak impulsively without thinking, and they might offend the other party.

"We believe in your abilities!"

Cai Fu's deep voice rang out, his face showing gratitude, "Thank you so much, Lord Chen, for saving my life!"

Gao Zhongliang glared at the other sword-wielders and made them all thank Chen Yuan.

"Hey, no need to thank me. I saved you so you could repay me."

Chen Yuan spoke, a smile playing on his lips.

Cai Fu and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

"How does Lord Chen wish to repay this kindness?"

Gao Zhongliang asked in confusion, his heart sinking slightly.

As expected, none of the Wuxiang Guardians are simple characters.

But what he couldn't understand was why the other party knew the Heavenly Light Daoist Technique?

"Lord Cai, I told you, his saving us wasn't so simple. Sure enough, he's here to demand a repayment for our kindness!"

He Gui spoke coldly, her expression filled with resentment.

"We who wield the sword are those who, upon seeing injustice, will draw our swords to help!"

"How can one expect to repay a debt of gratitude?"

Chen Yuan looked at He Gui, which made He Gui shrink back, but after thinking for a moment, he still stubbornly stared at Chen Yuan with a defiant look on his face.

"How does Lord Chen wish to repay you? As long as it doesn't involve betraying our Sword-Holding Society, betraying humanity, or acting against our conscience, we will do it!"

Cai Fu looked at Chen Yuan and said through gritted teeth.

"I need your help to kill Yang Liu!"

Chen Yuan got straight to the point.

All the sword wielders were stunned, almost doubting their own ears.

They thought Chen Yuan wanted them to reveal the location of the Sword-Wielding Society, or something difficult to do.

"That's...that's it???"

Cai Fu found it difficult to speak with confidence.

"That's right, and you can do it, though it's a bit dangerous."

Chen Yuan spoke earnestly.

Cai Fu and Gao Zhongliang exchanged a glance, took a deep breath, and looked at Chen Yuan with firm eyes.

"Yang Liu is also our enemy, we must kill him too!"

"We'll help you with this!"

Cai Fu spoke excitedly.

Gao Zhongliang nodded emphatically.

"No!"

At this moment, Gan Pinghua finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke loudly, looking at Chen.

She glared at Cai Fu and Gao Zhongliang, angrily saying, "Lord Cai, Lord Gao, we are the Swordholders, he is a demon, the Chief of the Wuxiang Division. We will not cooperate with him. Yang Liu, we will kill him ourselves!"

Cai Zhong and Gao Zhongliang's expressions changed drastically.

Zhou Ye's heart sank further, and he looked sharply at Chen Yuan, "Lord Chen, please don't mind her, she was just..."

"Shut up."

Chen Yuan glanced at Zhou Ye, immediately silencing him.

"hehe!"

Chen Yuan sneered and strode up to Gan Pinghua.

"What do you want to do?"

Gan Pinghua stared straight at him, her face full of defiance.

"Lord Chen, please calm down. The child is just being ignorant..."

Cai Fu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately stepped forward, trying to pull Gan Pinghua away.

"Lord Cai, I'm not being unreasonable!"

Gan Pinghua's gaze was resolute. He shook off Cai Fu's hand and stared directly at Chen Yuan. "He's a demon. Even if he saved us, he's bound to be wicked! We mustn't associate with him!"

"Yes, we swordsmen have the spirit of swordsmen; we would rather die than surrender!"

He Gui spoke again, his expression resolute.

Snapped!

Chen Yuan slapped He Gui, then slapped Gan Pinghua across the face, knocking both of them to the ground.

"what!"

The two screamed and looked at Chen Yuan with resentment.

Chen Yuan held back his strength; otherwise, he could have killed them both.

"Sir, please calm down!"

Zhou Ye's expression changed drastically, and he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Chen Yuan.

Cai Fu and Gao Zhongliang also stepped forward, pulled Gan Pinghua and He Gui up, and stopped them from continuing to talk.

Chen Yuan looked at Gan Pinghua, whose face was full of resentment, and said sarcastically, "I saved you, and instead of being grateful, you despise me for being a demon?"

"Hehe, if you refuse to accept my life-saving grace, then I can take it back."

Before he finished speaking, the Heavenly Righteous Sword appeared in Chen Yuan's hand, its surface gleaming with a cold light!

Swish!

Chen Yuan slashed at Gan Pinghua's neck with his sword at an extremely fast speed!

"Please calm down, my lord!"

Cai Fu's expression changed drastically. He placed his hand in front of Gan Pinghua's neck and firmly grasped the sword blade!

laugh!

The blade was extremely sharp. Even though Chen Yuan had reduced his strength, he still managed to cut Cai Fu's hand open, and the warm blood splattered all over Gan Pinghua's face!

Gan Pinghua's pupils trembled violently, and finally, fear appeared on her face.

Chen Yuan's killing intent was no less than Xu Zhilong's before!

He really wanted to kill himself!

If Cai Fu hadn't grabbed the sword, he probably would have been decapitated!

She was terrified, frozen in place, her body trembling slightly, and her smooth forehead was covered in cold sweat!

She finally understood that her prodigious talent at the Sword-Wielding Gathering, and the love and indulgence she received from her elders, was entirely because those elders were her own people!

Being arrogant in public can really get you killed!

"Sir, we are grateful, we are all grateful for your kindness!"

Gao Zhongliang's expression changed drastically. He grabbed Chen Yuan's arm and hurriedly spoke.

"Not just her, but all of us were saved by you. We'll do anything you ask!"

He Gui dared not utter a sound, her eyes filled with terror.

The others had mixed expressions.

They dared not speak.

"Ah, that's right."

Chen Yuan glanced at Gan Pinghua and said, "I hate ungrateful people, especially those who don't appreciate my help and instead accuse me of having ulterior motives."

"You son of a bitch, if you don't want me to save you, if you don't want to be in my shoes, then you can kill yourself."

"..."

Gan Pinghua glanced at Chen Yuan and dared not speak.

suicide?

She wouldn't.

Chen Yuan sheathed his sword, too lazy to even look at her.

I find women like that annoying.

If it weren't for the fact that the two Sword-Holding Division Chiefs had guts, he probably wouldn't have let her go.

Such women often cause trouble in the future, and only death can put an end to it all.

Cai Fu breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken as he looked at his hand that had almost been severed.

This little guy, he's not very old, but he's really ruthless!

"What does Lord Chen require of us?"

Gao Zhongliang snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, looked at Chen Yuan, and asked.

"I happen to be in charge of investigating the remnants of the Sword-wielding faction."

As Chen Yuan spoke, he looked at the many sword-wielders in the arena, and amidst their strange expressions, he continued, "As for who will be the sword-wielder, isn't that up to me?"

Everyone, "..."

Zhou Ye's eyes widened suddenly. He seemed to have realized Chen Yuan's plan. He took a deep breath and stared intently. "Lord Chen, are you trying to... frame the Yang family?"

Cai Fu and Gao Zhongliang also stared at each other in astonishment.

"That's right."

Chen Yuan nodded, "You can even write letters to that willow tree to serve as evidence of your affair."

Zhou Ye's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but whisper, "We wrote a letter to Yang Liu a while ago, and then the prefect caught him red-handed, but the letter didn't work."

Chen Yuan looked at him, and his suspicions were confirmed.

The night Yang Guoguo was killed, Yang Liu was reported for having an affair with the Swordholder, and it turned out to be Zhou Yeqian's doing.

This also allowed Zhu Xin, the female prefect, to suppress Yang Liu for a few days.

"Keep writing. This time, write more, and find someone to imitate his notes so you can reply to your letters."

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and continued.

"Alright, then we'll write a letter to Yang Liu tomorrow!"

Cai Fu's expression was strange, but he still nodded in agreement and looked at Zhou Ye, "Brother Zhou, you're in charge of replying to the letter."

Zhou Ye nodded, but still felt something was amiss. He looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "Lord Chen, even with correspondence, it's impossible to completely suppress the Yang family!"

Chen Yuan glanced at Zhou Ye, then looked at Cai Fu and Gao Zhongliang. "That's right, there are letters, but that's only one aspect."

Everyone looked at Chen Yuan in surprise, waiting for him to continue.

"Three days from now will be the double seven-day mourning period after Yang Liu's son's death. He will hold a funeral for his two sons and, at the same time, use the ritual to appease the evil god, turning his two sons into demons!"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and said expressionlessly, "You will all go to the scene and reveal your identities. I will also be there and directly confront Yang Liu!"

"What???"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye's eyes widened suddenly.

Cai Fu and Gao Zhongliang were taken aback, but they still gritted their teeth and agreed.

This is indeed very dangerous!

They might all die in the Yang family!

But for Chen Yuan, this was undoubtedly the best excuse.

There is evidence of correspondence between the person who wields the sword!

They were also on the scene and caught the swordsman!

"Okay, let's do it!"

Cai Fu and Gao Zhongliang exchanged a bitter glance.

They never imagined that avenging Lord Lu would require joining forces with a Director of the Wuxiang Division!

But in order to get revenge, they couldn't care less about anything else.

Chen Yuan nodded, letting them leave and instructing them to contact him through Zhou Ye.

Before leaving, Cai Fu hesitated, but still asked, "I wonder if Lord Chen could tell us how you obtained your Heavenly Light Daoist Technique?"

"How can someone with a demonic body still cultivate the Heavenly Light Daoist arts?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the sword-wielders held their breath and looked at Chen Yuan in confusion.

How could a demon cultivate the Heavenly Light Daoist Technique?

Could it be that the Wuxiang Sect's alien species plan has succeeded?

If that's the case, it would be a real problem.

They thought about it anxiously.

"hehe!"

Chen Yuan said meaningfully, "If you are still alive after I finish this, I will tell you."

Seeing that Chen Yuan was unwilling to speak, Cai Fu and the others had no choice but to sit down, turn around and leave, disappearing into the night.

"My lord, this..."

Zhou Ye looked at Chen Yuan, somewhat at a loss.

"Come back to the Human Desire Building with me. From now on, contacting them and arranging for them to join the Yang family is all up to you."

Chen Yuandao.

"good!"

Zhou Ye felt a chill run down his spine and had no choice but to agree.

······

The second-floor rest room of the Human Desire Building.

"Ah Yuan, why did you tell them that we're Uncle Lu's people?"

Li Wei asked doubtfully, "If you produce the Golden Sword-Holding Token, then you are the Grand Sword-Holding Commander, and you can easily command them to do things."

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, "Before the matter is fully investigated, we should not reveal our identities as Swordholders too early."

"But we know the Heavenly Light Daoist Technique... Won't they be suspicious?"

Li Wei asked again.

"meeting!"

Chen Yuan nodded, his eyes narrowing. "They might suspect that we could be Uncle Lu's successors."

"But we also suspect that we only obtained the Heavenly Light Dao Technique after the Wuxiang Sect killed Uncle Lu."

"Our ability to cultivate must be a success of the alien species project!"

"I don't care what they think. My goal now is to eliminate the Yang family, the last obstacle, and become the Grand Master of the Formless!"

Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine.

indeed so.

Chen Yuan's current goal is to become the Grand Master of the Formless!
