Swordholder

There are many mission halls in Xijiang Prefecture.

There are no prime ministers, courts, or even the Western Frontier government offices.

All three departments issued a mission to find the seal of the Western Frontier Prefecture.

Chen Yuan and the others were Wuxiang Guards, so they were naturally heading towards Wuxiang Court.

The Wuxiangting building is located in the center of the city. It is entirely black, eighteen stories high, majestic and grand, and exudes a sense of solemnity and dread.

As soon as Chen Yuan and his group appeared at the entrance, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"It's that pack of wolf guards."

"Heh, these humanoid medicine masters, instead of hiding in their base to cultivate properly, what are they doing here?"

"Are they here to accept a mission?"

……

Many cultivators specializing in beast-manipulation spoke up, their eyes narrowing as they scrutinized Chen Yuan and the others, their gazes turning cold.

"Isn't that woman the eldest daughter of the Zhu family in Wangdong Prefecture? How come she's hanging out with these people?"

Some people recognized Zhu Xin and looked puzzled.

"Could she be after the resources for training the Wolf Guardians?"

"To associate with these lowly humans for the sake of the Wolf Guard's resources is truly beneath their dignity."

Some people stared at Zhu Xin with disdain.

In particular, the overly intimate behavior between Zhu Xin and Chen Yuan made them feel that Zhu Xin was lowering herself.

However, Zhu Xin's appearance was truly stunning, leaving many Beast Cultivators staring at her with wide eyes.

Her melodious voice, graceful figure, crystal-clear face, sweet smile, and sparkling teeth, coupled with the captivating charm she exuded as she walked, were simply mesmerizing!

A short-haired woman sneered, "Just a flirtatious woman. I wonder how many times she's slept with these lowly human men. Look how infatuated you are."

Although the words were spoken softly, they were instantly heard by Zhu Xin, Chen Yuan, and the others.

Chen Yuan looked over and realized that it was Hu Jingjing, the head of the Wuxiang Division, whom he had killed when he encountered the Heaven and Earth Sect members and they had tried to mistake him for an imposter and kill him.

Beside him was a man named Qiu Yunshan.

"How dare you! You dare to insult the Grand Master Wuxiang?"

Chen Yuan shouted and disappeared from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Hu Jingjing and slapped her across the face.

Snapped!

"what!"

Hu Jingjing screamed and flew out like a tattered sack!

The crowd was stunned and stared at Chen Yuan in disbelief, never expecting that he would dare to make a move here.

"What...what are you doing?"

Qiu Yunshan looked stunned. After realizing what had happened, he glared angrily at Chen Yuan.

Are you deaf?

Chen Yuan stared at him coldly, which immediately made his hair stand on end, as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast, and his body staggered backward.

"Didn't you hear him humiliating Miss Zhu?"

Chen Yuan said coldly.

Hu Jingjing collapsed to the ground, fainting instantly, and was unable to utter another word.

Everyone gasped at her pitiful appearance.

Zhu Xin walked over and leaned against Chen Yuan's side, saying, "Oh, little guy, I'm so happy that you stood up for me."

Chen Yuan chuckled, "That woman dared to humiliate Sister Xin, she'll be beaten to a pulp!"

"Hehehe!"

Zhu Xin giggled repeatedly, her charming appearance attracting the attention of all the cultivators around her.

"But no matter what, you can't hit a woman!"

Qiu Yunshan realized what was happening and angrily said, "No matter what, you can't lay a hand on a woman! You have no manners at all!"

Chen Yuan raised his hand and slapped him, sending him flying, and cursed angrily, "Warm man, stand behind the dog."

Qiu Yunshan was beaten until his mouth was full of blood, and he looked completely bewildered and shocked.

He was completely powerless against Chen Yuan!

The others stared wide-eyed, but after realizing what had happened, they were both shocked and furious.

Who would have thought that one day a human cultivator would be so arrogant and domineering here at the Wuxiang Pavilion?

"Anyone who doesn't like me, come out here and fight me to the death!"

Chen Yuan shouted loudly, instantly silencing those who wanted to curse.

Rumble!

Just then, the earth trembled violently, and twelve wolf riders galloped rapidly toward this place.

The crowd dispersed.

Twelve War Wolf Riders!

Chen Yuan and the others did not move their feet, but stood still, as immovable as pines.

The twelve war wolves, ridden by twelve burly men, rushed to the palace gate of the Wuxiang Court and then began to circle around Chen Yuan and his companions.

The rumbling sound was like muffled thunder, making everyone's ears ring. In addition, the twelve black giant wolves with ferocious fangs and dripping saliva kept emitting eerie howls, which greatly shocked everyone present and made them look extremely horrified.

The twelve figures atop the twelve giant black wolves looked down at Chen Yuan and the others with icy eyes, as if they were looking at dead men.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became extremely tense, filled with a heavy, oppressive feeling that made it hard to breathe.

"Could they have provoked the Twelve War Wolf Riders?"

"Tsk tsk, they're finished."

……

Some cultivators without phase spoke with cold expressions and a mocking smile on their lips.

The twelve War Wolf Riders circled around Chen Yuan and his group without saying a word, trying to break their spirits with their overwhelming power.

Clang!

However, before they could even turn around a few more times, a clear sword cry rang out in the arena. Immediately afterward, a blinding sword light suddenly erupted, shooting into the sky and illuminating the black wolves so much that they couldn't open their eyes!

"roar……"

The twelve black wolves let out a deep growl. With their eyes closed, they could no longer see their companions, so they crashed into each other with loud bangs and howls.

Fortunately, the figure on the black wolf's back stabilized their mounts, preventing them from falling to the ground. However, their previous soaring momentum had collapsed, leaving them in complete chaos.

They stopped, staring grimly at the figure of the boy holding the blood-red longsword.

The four leading figures were all surging with blood and qi, and their eyes were as terrifying as divine lamps.

Those are the top three of the twelve auspicious beasts.

Dragon, snake, tiger, horse!

They stared at the Blood Bone Sword in Chen Yuan's hand, their eyes filled not with fear, but with greed.

"Boy, your sword has frightened our warhorses. Please hand it over as compensation."

One of the men, with a human body and a tiger's head, spoke in a calm tone, as if giving a command.

"hehe!"

Chen Yuan laughed, glanced at the black wolf beneath him, and curled his lip, saying, "What use is a warhorse that's so easily frightened? We might as well kill it. Perfect, my brothers and I want to try some black wolf meat. We won't take it for free; we can buy it."

As Chen Yuan spoke, he casually grabbed a handful of star copper and threw it in front of the man with a human body and a tiger's head.

With a clatter, a handful of star copper pieces fell to the ground, clanging loudly. Each movement of the star copper pieces felt like a slap across the face of the tiger-headed man with a human body!

This caused the war wolf beneath him to let out a ferocious howl, its two sharp front claws constantly scratching the ground, tearing it to pieces, and its pair of wolf eyes staring at Chen Yuan with a sinister and vicious look, assuming an attack posture.

The onlookers were stunned; they hadn't expected Chen Yuan to be so dominant against the War Wolf Cavalry.

What made them even more astonished was that a chubby boy and a little girl appeared beside the man wielding the Blood Bone Sword. The two of them were already sharpening their knives, looking at the black wolf as if it were a delicious meal!

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

The tiger-faced man gave a low shout and rode his war wolf, closing in step by step.

"Oh, I think you guys are looking for death."

Zhu Xin smiled and stepped forward to stand in front of Chen Yuan, looking directly at the tiger-faced man.

"Third brother, step back!"

At this moment, the man leading the twelve war riders spoke up.

This man was even more muscular, wearing dark blue armor on the outside, his skin covered in scales, and his head was that of a dragon.

As soon as he finished speaking, the tiger-faced man gave Chen Yuan a cold look and had no choice but to obediently retreat.

The man with the dragon head looked at Zhu Xin and said, "Miss Zhu, for the sake of your master, we will not hold it against you."

As he spoke, he pointed the bronze spear in his hand at Chen Yuan, "You step back first. We need to requisition this man for half an hour. We have some questions for him."
