Swordholder

Immediately, he steered the magic boat towards the Five Finger Peak of the Chen family!

In the blink of an eye, it became a black dot in the void.

The Qi family members, who were fighting the corpse puppets on the street, all looked up at the sky and saw Chen Yuan leave in the prefect's private magic boat. They were all very unhappy!

"Damn it! What on earth is going on?!"

Many elderly people angrily cursed.

They could have stayed safely in the prefectural government office.

Now they have to fight the corpse puppets, and they could die at any moment.

But the one defecating and urinating above them was a human boy!

This made them extremely dissatisfied.

"Ignore him, preserve your strength, and try to survive."

The old patriarch of the Qi family said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

He was terrified that Chen Yuan, that ruthless star, would return and kill them all again; that would be such a terrible injustice!

At the same time, he glanced at the city wall.

Countless corpse puppets still roamed there, but the Tianqing Army did not find a single one.

It was clear that their patriarch, Qi Boheng, was in grave danger, which filled the Qi family patriarch with immense sorrow.

Jiang Cheng and the others, however, were filled with excitement at Chen Yuan's domineering behavior.

Their gazes, burning with intensity, shifted from the direction Chen Yuan had gone to the people before them, once again focusing on them.

Human cultivators have never been so majestic.

It actually suppressed all the beast-manipulating cultivators so much that they couldn't even lift their heads!

This is absolutely awesome!

……

Five Finger Peak.

The protective barrier around the Chen family's territory remains incredibly strong. The speed at which spiritual energy is replenished, coupled with its profound foundation, has astonished many families.

Tianqing County had four major families. Apart from the Chen family, the Zhang family, Li family, and Tang family had all been basically destroyed, and countless people had died or been injured in their ancestral territories.

The remaining people frantically fled through the city, hunted down by the corpse puppets.

Zhang Shan, Li Shouren, and Tang Hu, who were stationed at the edge of the Chen family's protective barrier, had many complex feelings in their hearts.

They witnessed the Chen family's strong cohesion, their formidable resources, and their terrifying ability to coordinate when mobilized!

Even to ensure the strength of the barrier, all members of the Chen family spared no effort in contributing all their resources, such as energy stones, spirit stones, Yang gold, and moon silver.

"The Chen family is so united!"

Tang Hu sighed, looking at the other two, "Our family is probably doomed."

Zhang Shan nodded. "There's no other way. In the face of evil and disaster, if we don't unite and instead act selfishly, we simply won't last until the end."

Li Shouren didn't speak. His gaze suddenly fell on the void ahead, where a magic boat broke through the sea of ​​clouds and rushed toward them with a terrifying momentum!

"Who...who is that?"

Li Shouren's eyes widened in surprise.

Zhang Shan's family were skilled in weapon crafting, and with his keen eye and knowledge, he instantly recognized the origin of the magic boat.

"That is the prefect's personal magic boat."

Zhang Shan exclaimed in surprise.

Li Shouren and Tang Hu's pupils contracted!

"How is that possible? The prefect's personal magical vessel has a unique formation and is engraved with his identity mark. Only the prefect of Tianqing can control it."

Li Shouren, from a family specializing in formations, immediately retorted.

"Yes, wasn't Prefect Niu Sengru dead?"

Tang Hu frowned.

At the same time, many high-ranking members of the Chen family on the top of Zhongzhi Peak also saw the approaching Dharma Boat.

In an instant, they had the same thought as Tang Hu.

How could the magistrate's personal magic boat be activated?

Is it still speeding towards here?

Wasn't Niu Sengru already killed?

But soon, a glint of light suddenly appeared in the cloudy old eyes of all the elders of the Chen family, including Chen Qingcang, Chen Qingtian, and Chen Qingfeng.

They saw the imposing young man on the deck.

That's the Chen family's prodigy!

They are the pride of the Chen family!

"It's...it's Young Master!!"

Chen Qingtian and the others' eyes widened suddenly, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, their minds shaken by the shock.

"Why is the young master sitting on the prefect's private magic boat?"

"Look! The official robe he's wearing seems to be made of condensed energy!"

Chen Qingtian, Chen Qingfeng, and so on—the old man's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but gasp in surprise!

The middle and upper echelons of the Chen family have stirred up a huge uproar.

Chen Qingcang was the same; his eyes were fixed on the boy, and he even held his breath.

"He...he did it!"

Chen Qingcang muttered to himself, unable to believe his eyes, and then he suddenly burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha, he did it! He actually became the Prefect of Tianqing County!"

"He's wearing the official robes of a prefect, formed from the essence of destiny!!"

"He gained the approval of the prefectural governor's seal, and even the approval of the prefectural governor's statue!!"

Chen Qingcang was extremely excited, and his bold voice carried far and wide, echoing throughout the heavens and earth, so that everyone in the entire Chen family territory could hear it.

Soon, the once bustling and deafening Chen family estate fell into dead silence.

Countless members of the Chen family looked up at the sky, their gazes fixed on that imposing young man in official robes!

"Oh my god, it's the young master!!"

"The patriarch previously said he was a prefect?"

Holy crap, that's awesome!

"What? The young master has become the prefect?"

My goodness, that's amazing!

……

The young disciples of the Chen family were all in an uproar!

Especially Chen Jianchu, Chen Jianming and others, were filled with passion.

With the arrival of the young master, the morale of the Chen family members soared!

But soon, as the dozen or so purple-robed figures in the sky let out a sharp shriek and then transformed into purple afterimages, flying toward the prefect's magic boat with terrifying momentum, screams echoed from the mountain peaks and the land below the Chen family's territory.

"A-Yuan, watch out!"

"Young Master, be careful!"

……

Anxious voices rang out, and everyone in the Chen family, from the higher-ups to the lower-ranking members, was filled with worry.

Those were more than a dozen corpse puppets at the Purple Mansion Realm!

Their physical bodies and the deathly aura emanating from them were far too dense, carving out more than a dozen terrifying, pitch-black ravines in the sky!

boom!!!

Almost simultaneously, to everyone's astonishment, the dazzling divine figure above the prefectural government office suddenly unleashed a sword strike!

hum! ! !

With this single sword strike, the heavens and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds swirled!

The terrifying sword energy surged out, like a dazzling river that stretched across the sky with overwhelming momentum!

"puff!"

More than a dozen purple-robed figures in the void were instantly swept away by the overwhelming sword energy and turned into black blood mist!

The Chen family members, who were originally anxious, worried, and afraid that Chen Yuan would be injured by the purple-robed corpse puppet, were suddenly stunned.

They stared blankly at the dozen or so black wisps in the void, speechless for a long time.

"Gulp!"

After a long pause, someone swallowed hard and muttered,

"Dead...dead??"

These words were like a thunderclap, causing an immediate uproar throughout the entire Chen family territory.

At this moment, countless people were deeply shocked.

What did they see?

That's a corpse puppet at the Purple Mansion Realm, even more powerful than a living being at the Purple Mansion Realm!

Because their bodies are incredibly tough, and they are not afraid of pain, they are extremely fierce and difficult to deal with in battle!

Yet this terrifying being was annihilated by a single sword strike!

But the shock was far from over!

On the Dharma Boat, Chen Yuan clasped his hands together, the Blood Bone Sword in his hands transformed into the Heavenly Righteous Sword, held it in front of his chest with the tip pointing to the sky, and murmured something to himself.

Immediately afterwards, the divine figure above the prefectural government office unleashed another terrifying sword aura!

boom!!!

The moment the sword energy was unleashed, it was like a thunderclap!

Immediately following, sword energy swept across the sky, blotting out the sun, and appeared in the sky above Chen Yuan in the blink of an eye, like a colossal sword ten thousand feet in size!

Rumble!

The giant sword trembled violently, and the surging sword energy on its surface slowly sank down, gradually forming into three-foot-long swords as it stretched out!

Immediately afterwards, more and more three-foot-long swords appeared, covering the sky and densely striking down at the corpse puppets below!

Whoosh...

It was like a dense storm!

A series of crackling sounds rang out as the corpse puppets fell to the ground, instantly annihilated!

Ashes!

In just a dozen breaths, the densely packed corpse puppets surrounding the Chen family's territory were completely swept away by the sword energy that rained down from the sky!

The Chen family's crisis was thus resolved.
