Swordholder

Countless people looked up at him, their hearts filled with emotion!

This is their prefect!

At this moment, they believed in Chen Yuan without hesitation.

Chen Yuan looked at them and spoke again in a deep voice, "Everyone, get up first and move closer to the prefectural governor's office! It's safer there."

This time, everyone obediently followed orders and approached the prefectural governor's office.

However, no one dared to stand in front of the gate.

"A-Yuan, how do we deal with those corpse puppets now?"

Li Wei walked over and asked in a low voice, his expression becoming excited.

Chen Yuan began to think.

He became the prefect, a position completely different from his previous one.

Previously, he might have had to fight to the death with Li Wei, Jiang Cheng, and others against the corpse puppets!

But now, he is the prefect, the head of the prefecture, and can completely command the power of the entire prefecture!

The entire county was mobilized to fight against the corpse puppets.

Thinking of this, he turned and strode towards the prefectural governor's gate.

Li Wei's expression became excited; he knew what Chen Yuan was going to do!

Jiang Cheng was the same, his eyes revealing a surging killing intent!

"Open the door!"

Chen Yuan shouted in a deep voice.

"I'll fucking kick it away!"

Li Wei rolled up his sleeves and was about to kick the door open.

Rumble!

Before Li Wei could step forward, the gates of the prefectural governor's mansion opened automatically!

Li Wei awkwardly withdrew his foot.

Countless people were gathered in a huge courtyard, staring in astonishment at the suddenly opened gate.

Then, seeing Li Wei retract his foot, his gaze turned icy.

Chen Yuan, Jiang Cheng, and the other Wuxiang Guards strode in.

They all turned their attention to Chen Yuan and his group.

Chen Yuan, in particular, wore an official robe shimmering with energy, exuding an imposing aura!

A powerful pressure caused their minds to tremble instinctively, and they couldn't help but take two steps back.

The pupils of some elderly men with white hair at the far end of the courtyard suddenly contracted the moment they saw Chen Yuan!

With their experience, they naturally knew what the official robe Chen Yuan was wearing, which represented, was a symbol of good fortune.

"The prefect's seal automatically recognizes its owner?? How... is that possible??"

They all looked up into the void and were shocked to see that the prefect's seal on the statue's chest was gone!

At this moment, it was hovering above Chen Yuan's right hand.

"Oh my God!"

They gasped in surprise, their eyes wide with shock.

"Something that hasn't happened in years?"

"The Prefect's Seal automatically recognizes its owner? And the Prefect is bestowed with an exclusive robe of destiny!!"

"This only happened five hundred years ago!!!"

Five hundred years ago, a prodigy from the Heavenly Serpent Beast Clan served as the Prefect of Tianqing County. When evil spirits erupted, he turned the tide and saved the entire Tianqing County!

Therefore, the prefectural assistant gained the approval of the prefectural governor, was directly promoted to prefectural governor, and was bestowed with an auspicious official robe!

……

For a moment, those white-haired old men murmured softly, their minds trembling violently!

They couldn't help but recall the records in the county's historical texts, and for a moment they were lost in thought!

However, some of the younger beings were completely unaware of this and recognized at a glance that those who rushed in were humans!

Humans should be inferior to them!

If you're human, you should act subservient when you see them!

But what about now?

These humans dared to kick down the door and enter, even standing tall and looking down at them.

This is an unforgivable crime!

Immediately, many young beast-like creatures flew into a rage, their faces contorted with rage as they roared!

"How dare you! Instead of properly defending against the corpse puppets outside, you dare to force your way in?"

A young man with ram's horns on his head stepped forward with a ferocious expression and shouted loudly!

His name is Qi Yang, he is Qi Boheng's nephew, and he is also a prodigy.

Qi Yang recognized Chen Yuan, paused for a moment, and then revealed a mocking expression.

"Chen Yuan, is that you?"

As he spoke, Qi Yang's eyes narrowed, landing on the shimmering official robes on Chen Yuan's body, and he said angrily,

"How dare you use spiritual energy to condense a prefect's robe?"

Upon hearing this, all the other young people were stunned, and then burst into laughter.

"Has he gone mad? Does he think he can just wear the official robes of a prefect anytime?"

"Does he think that wearing this official robe made of condensed energy will intimidate those corpse puppets?"

……

Many of the young beast-like creatures are located near the gate.

Therefore, they did not hear the exclamations and murmurs of many white-haired old men in the rear.

At this moment, they all began to mock and ridicule Chen Yuan.

They were members of the Qi family, backed by Qi Boheng, the commander of the Tianqing Army, and controlled the most violent organization within the Tianqing Army.

Therefore, even though Chen Yuan was infamous and had killed many young prodigies from other beast-eating families, they did not have much fear of him.

Chen Yuan coldly swept his gaze across the group of young people before him, finally fixing it on Qi Yang, and said coldly,

"I am the Prefect of Tianqing County. I now order you all to go out and resist the corpse puppets. Anyone who disobeys will be killed!"

Upon hearing this, the group of young people were stunned, looked at each other blankly, and finally burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! That's hilarious! He actually claimed to be the prefect!"

"He's seriously ill. Could it be that he's been bewitched by those evil cultivators?"

"I think he's tired of living and wants to die! Hahaha!!"

……

A group of young people burst into laughter.

They would never have considered Chen Yuan to be a prefect, especially given his identity and status.

After all, the position of prefect has always been decided by the Wangdong Prefecture.

So when they saw Chen Yuan use his spiritual energy to conjure up a prefectural governor's robe and claim to be a prefect, they undoubtedly felt that Chen Yuan was just a clown.

Even when they looked at the bronze ox seal floating above Chen Yuan's right hand, they believed that this seal of the prefect was a forgery by Chen Yuan.

"Hmph, he's doomed. He used spiritual energy to conjure an official robe and even forged the prefect's seal."

They even came right up to us and ordered us to deal with the corpse puppets?

A woman from the Qi family snorted coldly, stepped forward with her chest puffed out, and angrily shouted at Chen Yuan.

"Get lost! Your little tricks won't fool us, and you're dead already. How dare you impersonate the prefect..."

Before she could finish speaking, her eyes widened, and a diagonal line of blood appeared on her neck!

The next moment, her head slid off at an angle and rolled to the ground with a thud!

Those wide-open eyes still held an arrogant and haughty air!

The arena fell into a deathly silence!

Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking at this scene in disbelief!

"You...you actually killed her!"

Qi Yang's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Chen Yuan and roared.

Chen Yuan said calmly, "I've said it before: those who disobey will be killed!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Yang sideways, his eyes icy cold. "So, you're going to disobey my orders?"

Li Wei, Jiang Cheng, and the others all raised their blood-stained longswords, exuding murderous intent, ready to fight.

Seeing this, Qi Yang's face turned ashen, and he roared angrily, "Do you really think you're the prefect?"

puff!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Yuan raised his hand and slashed down with his sword, splitting Qi Yang in two at the shoulder!

I don't need to prove my identity to idiots!

Now, who else dares to disobey my orders?

Chen Yuan spoke in a cold voice, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before him.

"You audacious madman, do you really think no one here can deal with you?"

From the crowd, another middle-aged man stepped forward, glaring angrily at Chen Yuan, "I am from the Qi family..."

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of light appeared before his eyes!

Chen Yuan swung his sword again, and the middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. He retreated rapidly, trying to dodge!

"Spare his life!"

Almost simultaneously, a loud shout rang out, and dozens of old men rushed toward this place!

The leader was a man with white hair and beard, but he was very vigorous and had a goat's horn on his head.

It was none other than Qi Tianfeng, the ancestor of the Qi family!

"puff!"

However, Chen Yuan ignored him. His sword light surged and swept away the shield that appeared in front of the middle-aged man, and also cut him in half at the waist with one sword!

Wow!

This completely enraged everyone in the Qi family, as well as the middle and upper echelons of other beast-manipulating families, who roared and demanded that Chen Yuan be killed right there.

"It seems you're going to disobey orders!"

Chen Yuan coldly stared at the crowd, his eyes filled with an unprecedented killing intent, as if he were ready to slaughter them all at the slightest provocation!
