Swordholder

The Chen family members looked up at the sky, their eyes wide with shock and disbelief!

"Holy crap!"

"All wiped out??"

"My god, young master is so amazing, so cool!!"

"Ahhh! Young Master is so mighty and domineering!!"

……

At this moment, countless members of the Chen family erupted in cheers and jubilation!

Previously, they were determined to fight to the death with their families, even if it meant their survival!

After all, no one had the confidence to hold out until the end when faced with more than a dozen corpse puppets at the Purple Mansion Realm.

However, at the very moment of crisis, things took an unexpected turn for the better!

Their young master has actually returned, and he's doing so as the governor of Tianqing County, turning the tide of the battle!

The impact of this scene was so great that it made everyone in the Chen family excited and their blood boil!

At this moment, the ancestral land of the Chen family turned into a sea of ​​cheers.

At the same time, amidst the attention of everyone, Chen Yuan piloted his magic boat and landed on Zhongzhi Peak. Looking at the excited high-ranking members of the Chen family before him, he jumped down and strode to Chen Qingcang's side.

Even though he is now the Prefect of Tianqing County, and even though he is still wearing the official robes of the Prefect of Tianqing County, he still bows respectfully to Chen Qingcang.

"Greetings, sir. Your grandson isn't late, is he?"

Chen Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute, looked at Chen Qingcang, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and asked with a smile.

Chen Qingtian, Chen Qingfeng, and Chen Qingyun, three burly old men, rubbed their hands together, looking at Chen Yuan with eager eyes, as if they were looking at a naked fairy. They stared at Chen Yuan, feeling uneasy.

They saw and remembered Chen Yuan's attitude towards Chen Qingcang, and they liked this junior very much!

Chen Qingtian, in particular, was overjoyed to see Chen Yuan's eyes welling up with tears.

No one knew better than him that this was not his biological grandson.

However, the other party had achieved extraordinary things, and even though he was wearing the official robes of a prefect, he still treated his grandfather with great respect!

Who wouldn't like a junior like that?

"No!" Chen Qingtian shook his head and said with a smile, "Haha, Ayuan, you're back just in time!"

Chen Qingtian also spoke up, smiling, "Yes, we can still hold on, but it's a bit difficult!"

Chen Qingfeng exclaimed excitedly, "Your return is like a divine intervention!"

The rest of the Chen family members nodded, looking at Chen Yuan with smiles and eagerness.

"That's fine then."

Chen Yuan nodded, looked at Chen Qingcang again, then at Chen Qingtian and the others, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, uncles and elders, I'll leave things here to you for now. I need to go back to Tianqing County to take charge of the overall situation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingcang nodded slightly, waved his hand, and laughed loudly, saying, "Haha, go ahead without worry, we've got you covered here!"

Chen Yuan nodded, turned around, jumped onto the magic boat, and flew into the distance, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Chen Qingcang and the others watched him leave, their hearts filled with emotion. "He's only been back in our Chen family for less than a year, and he's already accomplished such incredible feats. It's truly astonishing!"

The others nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with admiration and pride.

After all, this is the pride of the Chen family!

Chen Qingcang took a deep breath, his eyes darkening.

Such a terrifying rate of growth will surely attract the attention of the Great Xiang Empire's officials.

At that time...

He couldn't imagine it.

His eldest son, Chen Guoshan, was just like that. Although his talent was not as good as Chen Yuan's, he was still an amazing prodigy.

Unfortunately, it eventually turned into a handful of yellow earth.

"With my abilities, I'm afraid I can no longer protect him..." Chen Qingcang sighed inwardly. "It seems I'll have to find him another powerful backer..."

With this in mind, he turned and left after Chen Qingtian took charge of the overall situation, preparing for the coming storm.

……

……

Chen Yuan flew up into the clouds and looked down at the vast land below.

At this moment, the chaos in the entire Tianqing County gradually subsided, leaving behind a scene of devastation and corpses strewn everywhere.

Some buildings caught fire, and since no one was there to put them out, the flames spread and burned more and more, turning into a sea of ​​fire.

"Kill all the corpse puppets first, then put out the fire."

Chen Yuan murmured, "The longer the corpse puppet exists, the more people will die."

So he focused his gaze on Li Wei's direction.

Li Wei and the others supervised the Qi family members as they killed the corpse puppets.

The Qi family suffered heavy losses, with more than half of them killed or wounded, but their basic fighting capacity remained.

As for the corpse puppets, they were almost completely wiped out by them.

"We can't let any members of the Qi family still be alive..."

Chen Yuan's gaze turned icy.

He had basically offended all five official families in Tianqing County.

The Niu, Gou, Lu, and Sun families were basically wiped out, leaving them with no worries about the future.

Only the Qi family still has a large number of high-ranking members alive, especially the Qi family patriarch, who knows how to be patient and will probably be a major threat to the Chen family in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan immediately put away the magic boat, then mobilized the evil spirit power within his body, controlled his figure, and transformed into a blur as he landed on the streets of the county city.

He searched around and found a purple robe, which he then put on.

She then messed up her neatly styled long hair and smeared her face with black paint.

Immediately, he lunged at the Qi family members.

"Gentlemen of the Qi family, welcome the new Purple Mansion Corpse Puppet, hehehehehe..."

Chen Yuan's sinister laughter echoed through the street.

Meanwhile, the Qi family members were engaged in a bloody battle with the corpse puppets.

The corpse puppets are numerous, impervious to pain, and fearless of death, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

The Qi family and the remaining creatures of the other beast-manipulating families fought with all their might, transforming into their true forms and using a combined attack formation to barely hold on. They were just about to wipe out the corpse puppets on the street before they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He then revealed an angry expression.

"Damn it, Chen Yuan could clearly control the power of the statue to destroy these corpse puppets, why doesn't he do it?"

A young beast-manipulating cultivator spoke angrily.

By this point in the battle, they were covered in blood and were on the verge of exhaustion.

"Who said Chen Yuan didn't use the power of the divine statue to kill those corpse puppets?"

A female cultivator spoke with a grim expression, "Didn't the world-destroying power unleashed by the divine statue earlier kill those corpse puppets in the Chen family's territory?"

"He only killed the other corpse puppets, but not the ones in front of us!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"He wants to use these corpse puppets to wear us down."

"Damn it, we shouldn't have let the human race rise to power. Our ancestors were indeed prescient!"

"Humans are all base and vile creatures, extremely cunning, and that kid is no exception."

……

Many of the beasts and creatures cursed under their breath.

"Then what should we do? If Chen Yuanzhen really becomes the prefect, will we still have a good life?"

A short-haired young monk said with a bitter expression.

"Hmph, the prefectural city has its own arrangements; it's none of our business."

An old man sneered, "Chen Yuan is a human, so there will be a lot of resistance for him to become a prefect."

"As long as we survive, we'll see him get killed by the people from the prefectural city."

The others' eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Yes, with such a major event happening here, the prefectural city will definitely send a large number of Purple Mansion level experts!"

"At that time, Chen Yuan will be doomed."

As everyone spoke, their eyes lit up with eagerness, impatient to see what would become of Chen Yuan.

Behind them, Li Wei, Nuomi, Jiang Cheng, and dozens of other Wuxiang Guards coldly watched them.

Previously, this group of beings from the Formless Beast Clan numbered over a thousand, but after fighting the Corpse Puppet, only a few dozen remain.

Of the remaining ones, they are basically the elite of the elite.

The older generation is powerful, while the younger generation possesses extraordinary talent.

"Wow, A Yuan's move was really awesome. It's just a pity that it didn't kill them all."

Li Wei muttered to himself, looking at these people and feeling a great sense of regret.

hum!

Just then, a figure in purple robes suddenly appeared at the end of the street in the distance and rushed straight towards them.

"Holy crap?"

Li Wei's eyes widened suddenly. "How can there be a corpse puppet at the Purple Mansion Realm?"

"Something's wrong! Run!"

Jiang Cheng and the others were horrified. They shouted and retreated rapidly.

They had no chance of defeating a corpse puppet in purple robes.

Nuomi didn't move. He blinked and stared intently at the approaching corpse puppet.

"Little Nuomi, danger! Run!"

Li Wei anxiously tried to pull Nuomi up and run, but he couldn't move her.

"Small glutinous rice?"

Li Wei was taken aback and looked at Nuo with a puzzled expression.

But then Nuomi winked at him.

Li Wei looked at the purple-robed corpse puppet rushing towards him again, only to find that its target was very clear, and it charged straight towards the Qi family!

"Um?"

Li Wei was taken aback. He suddenly felt that the figure of the purple-robed corpse puppet was somewhat familiar.

As if struck by a sudden realization, his eyes widened again. "Holy crap?"

···

At the same time, the Qi family members also noticed the purple-robed corpse puppet rushing towards them, and all of them turned pale with fright.

"Run!"

The patriarch of the Qi family roared angrily.

Meanwhile, a member of the Qi family on the outskirts had his head explode instantly.

After smashing the head of a Qi family member with a single palm strike, the purple-robed figure charged through the Qi family members!

boom!!!

A burst of blood-red, malevolent energy erupted from his body, sweeping outwards to both sides.

boom!

Wherever it passed, the bodies of the Qi family members were instantly torn to pieces, turning into a mist of blood.

The old patriarch of the Qi family's expression changed drastically. He could no longer care about anything else, so he grabbed a few old men and turned to run away.
