Swordholder

Countless people stared at the young man who walked in, his face beaming with sunshine, uttering such arrogant words!

Everyone was completely dumbfounded; their jaws practically dropped to the floor.

"Is this guy crazy?"

Some of the Wuxiang Guards looked at Chen Yuan, and almost all of them had the same thought in their minds.

Then they looked at Yang Liu, whose face was ashen, and the many high-ranking members of the Yang family.

However, when they turned their gaze to the entrance and found that the two patriarchs of the Yang family were already lying dead on the ground, they gasped in shock and stared at Chen Yuan and the others in disbelief.

"Click..."

Yang Liu's eyes were blazing with fury, and her clenched fists made a cracking sound as her knuckles snapped from the force of her grip.

That was clearly a sign of his burning rage!

He glanced at the black coffin not far away, then at the two corpses at the entrance, and finally, his gaze fell on the boy who walked in.

Seeing his unrestrained and arrogant manner, not only Yang Liu, but everyone in the Yang family had their eyes turn red instantly.

They were panting heavily, wishing they could tear Chen Yuan to pieces.

But the deaths of the two patriarchs completely shocked them.

They couldn't help but look at the head of the family, Yang Liu.

"Chen Yuan, tomorrow is your death day, why do you insist on coming to your death today?"

Yang Liu spoke through gritted teeth, her face contorted like a ferocious ghost.

The Yang family members reacted and surrounded Chen Yuan and his companions.

"Heh, I'm here to capture the remnants of the Sword-Holding clique, as well as any traitors within the Sword-Holding clique!"

Chen Yuan glanced at the dense crowd around him and roared.

With a clang, he drew the Heavenly Righteous Sword, pointing it at Yang Liu across a dozen tables, and roared in a thunderous voice, "Yang Liu, you are the Chief Enforcement Officer, yet you are a spy for the Swordholder!"

These words were like a thunderbolt!

Everything froze.

No one expected that Chen Yuan would accuse Yang Liu of being a spy for the Swordholder.

"Hmph, three days ago, you led the entire Yang family to set a trap at the temple in the southern suburbs to ambush and kill the Xu family!"

Chen Yuan continued, his voice resounding and echoing through the night sky, carrying far and wide, "Yang Liu, if it weren't for you, Xu De Kui, the head of the Xu family, and his young master Xu Zhilong, would not be dead!"

"Will you surrender, or will I personally suppress you?!"

As soon as he said this, the crowd erupted in uproar, looking at Chen Yuan with astonishment, and then at the many high-ranking members of the Yang family whose faces were ashen.

Yang Liu's gaze was extremely gloomy.

He didn't expect Chen Yuan to immediately accuse him of something so serious!

"Chen Yuan, you're spouting nonsense! Don't make baseless accusations. We are genuine members of the Xiang Beast Clan, blessed by the Great Xiang Empire. How could we be spies for the Swordholder?"

Yang Feng strode out, roaring furiously with eyes wide open.

"Heh, I have evidence!"

Chen Yuan shouted, pulling out some letters from his robes. "These are correspondence between Yang Liu and several Sword-Holding Division Chiefs. If you don't believe me, you can take a look!"

As he spoke, Li Wei stepped forward and handed the letters to some of the Wuxiang Division Chiefs.

The Wuxiang Division has more than a dozen division chiefs, including Xu Zhilong's friends and Xu Zhihua's former close subordinates.

Now, upon hearing that Yang Liu had conspired with the sword wielder to have Xu Zhilong and the others killed three days ago, he couldn't help but show a suspicious look.

They opened the letters in their hands, their expressions immediately turning cold.

"It's a letter from Gao Zhongliang, the Chief of the Sword-Holding Division, to Lord Yang Liu. It bears the Sword-Holding Seal and the unique silver sword emblem!"

"And the letter from Chief Sword Officer Cai Fu—the insignia and seal on it are genuine!"

······

These words from the Chief of the Wuxiang Division immediately caused a huge uproar.

Especially since Zhu Xiong, the head of the Wuxiang Division of the Zhu family, was among them, his expression changed drastically.

He suddenly looked at Yang Liu and shouted, "Director Yang, say something!"

These words undoubtedly made Zhu Xiong suspicious.

Instantly, the thousands of people in the courtyard were in an uproar, looking at Yang Liu in shock.

"Hmph, these letters are just one-sided correspondence; there's no reply from me, Yang Liu!"

Yang Liu sneered, suppressing the urge to kill Chen Yuan immediately. Having found an opening, she mocked:

"I even suspect that Chen Yuan had these letters written on purpose by the remnants of the Sword-Holding Clan, just to frame him!"

Countless eyes narrowed, and they immediately realized that it made sense.

"All Yang family disciples, all Wuxiang Guards, listen to my command! This Chen Yuan is a remnant of the Sword-wielding clique; kill him on the spot immediately!"

Yang Feng, the director of the Tenth Division, roared.

Clang!

All the members of the Yang family drew their swords and approached Chen Yuan with murderous intent.

Upon seeing this, the others immediately revealed mocking expressions, looking at Chen Yuan and the others as if they were dead.

Trying to frame Yang Liu?

This clumsy method undoubtedly suggests, from another perspective, that Chen Yuan knew the remnants of the Sword-Holding Clan.

"Gentlemen!"

However, facing the menacing Yang family members and the Wuxiang Guards led by Yang Feng, Chen Yuan once again raised his sword and roared, "If letters don't count as physical evidence, then I have witnesses!"

As he spoke, Chen Yuan looked at Zhu Xiong and the several Wuxiang Division chiefs who were friendly with Xu Zhilong, and shouted:

"Gao Zhongliang, Cai Fu, and these remnants of the sword-wielding clique are being hidden by Yang Liu in the Yang family, and there's a very good chance they're right next to you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then instantly erupted in excitement, all looking around at their surroundings.

"really?"

Zhu Xiong's eyes widened suddenly as he looked at Chen Yuan and shouted.

"Of course it's true!"

Surrounded by countless people, Chen Yuan, sword in hand, roared imposingly, "I have already sent men to surround the entire Yang family! Esteemed officials, immediately check the surroundings to see if anyone with a sword is nearby!"

The directors were now in a panic, and they all began to circulate their cultivation and look around.

Even Yang Feng felt a chill run down his spine!

If there really is a swordsman in their Yang family, then their Yang family is finished!

Harboring rebels!

This is a crime that not everyone can bear!

Even Yang Liu felt a chill run down her spine as she stared intently at Chen Yuan.

He regretted letting him speak; he should have killed him from the start.

But the other side killed two patriarchs in one fell swoop, which shocked them and made them hold their own.

In the chaotic courtyard, where people were densely packed, Gao Zhongliang could no longer hide under the search of Zhu Xiong and the other directors. He suddenly drew his sword, and with a flash of light, he killed one of the directors who had discovered him!

"what!"

In another location, Cai Fu also killed a department director with a single blow.

"There really is a swordsman!"

Zhu Xiong roared!

Wow!

The scene immediately erupted into chaos, with countless people becoming agitated and moving away from their original positions, turning the entire scene into a frenzy.

"Master Yang, thank you so much for taking me in these past few days. I can never repay your life-saving kindness!"

"We've been discovered today, and we probably can't escape. Perhaps we should kill them all!"

"Yes, kill them all, and then Lord Yang can just say it was us!"

"That's right, we owe Lord Yang a debt of gratitude; we can't let him be implicated!"

"It's all that little bastard Chen Yuan's fault! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been exposed!"

"My fellow sword-wielders, before we die, let's help Patriarch Yang kill that little beast Chen Yuan!"

······

Taking advantage of the chaos, Cai Fu, Gao Zhongliang, and others kept shouting and killing people.

Caught off guard, many Wuxiang Guards, and even Wuxiang Chiefs, died by their swords!

"Damn it, Yang Liu, you, as the Chief Enforcement Officer, have actually colluded with the Swordholder!"

Zhu Xiong roared suddenly.

These words practically sealed Yang Liu's fate, driving countless Wuxiang Guards into a frenzy as they dodged the hidden attacks while desperately trying to escape.

In the end, they simply raised their swords and began to slaughter the Yang family members.

In their view, there was no doubt that the Yang family was harboring the sword wielder.

Although there are still some doubts, the scene is chaotic right now, and people could be killed at any moment, so who would think about those doubts?

Seeing the banquet ruined, the patriarch killed, the family slaughtered, and herself branded as a traitorous swordsman, Yang Liu looked at Chen Yuan in the middle of the room, her anger soaring to the sky!

"You little beast, I'll tear you to pieces!"

Yang Liu glared at Chen Yuan, roared, and charged forward.

"Kill him first!"

The other high-ranking members of the Yang family did the same, roaring as they charged towards Chen Yuan!

Chen Yuan raised his foot and kicked the table in front of him. With a series of thuds, one table after another was kicked and sent flying, scattering pots and pans as they crashed into the Yang family members who were rushing over.

boom!

One of the round tabletops was smashed to pieces by Yang Liu's punch. He was burly and imposing, carrying a surge of demonic energy. He swung his fist and suddenly attacked!

What was originally a human head on his neck has now turned into a sheep's head!

His combat power increased dramatically after he transformed into beast form!

boom!

Chen Yuan and Yang Liu exchanged a fierce punch, and the terrifying force suddenly exploded, instantly causing Yang Liu to stagger back several steps.

His expression changed. He hadn't expected that Chen Yuan, who was already at the late stage of the Yellow Court realm, would possess such terrifying physical strength, actually managing to force him, a Yellow Court Grand Perfection cultivator, back down!

At the same time, the other high-ranking members of the Liu family rushed towards Chen Yuan, but they did not have the same formidable combat power as Yang Liu, and several of them were instantly killed by Chen Yuan!

"What?"

Yang Liu's eyes were bloodshot with rage; he had thought Chen Yuan was a worthless bug that could be easily swatted away.

As for the two elders of the family who were able to kill the family members earlier, it was undoubtedly due to Chen Yuan's sneak attack.

Now it seems that it was Chen Yuan's own formidable strength!

His eyes were ferocious as he lunged forward again.

The resistance they encountered was incomparably terrifying and as swift as thunder!

"How is that possible?"

Yang Liu couldn't help but gasp, her eyes fixed on the ferocious human youth fighting before her.

According to his initial guess, when Chen Yuan first came to Tianshan County, he was at most in the early stage of the Yellow Court.

But now... the combat power it displays is clearly at the Great Perfection of the Yellow Court realm!
