Swordholder

"Oh?"

Zhu Xin smiled, her eyes darting around, and she instantly understood... No wonder the other party had been circling around her group as soon as they arrived.

This group of people may have suffered a setback in the place where they met their demise.

"Little one, what do you mean? These men have their eyes on you."

Zhu Xin turned around, looked at Chen Yuan, and said jokingly.

"Chen Yuan, right? Come with us."

The leading man stepped forward, looked at Chen Yuan, and spoke in an unyielding tone.

It seemed that no one dared to refuse him.

Chen Yuan glanced at them and coldly rebuked, "Get lost. I only like beautiful women, I have no interest in you, especially since you're a bunch of beasts."

Upon hearing this, the many Wuxiang Guards standing at the entrance of Wuxiang Court fell silent.

Everyone stared at Chen Yuan in shock, and the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"That's the leader of the twelve war riders, and in the register of prime ministers, he's the head of the three prime ministers!"

It's still the existence of the Heavenly Dragon!

Chen Yuan actually dared to say that!?

One person swallowed hard, his throat bobbing, and said in a low voice.

Tianlong!

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking at the group of War Wolf Riders in front of him. So they were from the Heavenly Mandate. No wonder they were so arrogant!

Back in Tianqing County, the highest-ranking beasts he had ever seen were those from Wangdong Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, a Heavenly Manifestation Register has appeared here, and it's even a Heavenly Dragon!

"How dare you! Do you know who you're talking to?"

One of the men, with a human head and a horse-like face, shouted, pointing his bronze halberd at Chen Yuan.

The remaining War Wolf Riders all turned cold, their eyes filled with murderous intent!

Chen Yuan's previous words were nothing short of contempt, provocation, and even insults to them!

How could they not be angry?

Chen Yuan glanced sideways at the man with the human head and horse face. "I'm just talking to a few beasts, aren't I?"

The man with the human head and horse face darkened, and roared, "You're asking for death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the halberd in his hand suddenly shone with demonic light, exuding a chilling aura. The blade, carrying a burst of energy, shot out more than ten meters, heading straight for Chen Yuan!

Chen Yuan flashed forward, and then slashed out with the Blood Bone Sword in his hand.

hum!

The Blood Bone Sword hummed, unleashing a surge of blood-red, violent sword energy.

boom!

The two forces collided, producing a deafening roar. Two transparent energy waves swept in all directions, like hurricanes, sending countless people flying.

At the same time, Chen Yuan flashed in the arena, and the sharp tip of his Blood Bone Sword pierced straight at the man with a human body and a horse face!

The man with the human head and horse face instantly swung his halberd back, slashing towards Chen Yuan!

The battle halberd and the blood bone sword clashed instantly, producing a resounding clang.

But in just two exchanges, a loud clang was heard, and Chen Yuan's Blood Bone Sword actually cleaved the opponent's battle halberd in two!

The remaining eleven War Wolf Riders all had extremely cold eyes, radiating a terrifying killing intent!

"kill!"

They roared in unison, some drawing their long swords, others carrying spears or lances, their battle aura surging and their killing intent soaring, ready to charge!

"kill!"

On Chen Yuan's side... Li Wei, Nuomi, Zhong Yue, Li Taiyi, and about ten others roared and were about to fight the twelve War Wolf Riders in front of them!

The others were stunned and stared in disbelief at the scene before them, retreating in terror.

Twelve War Wolf Riders and a dozen Wolf Guards charged into battle.

This is simply unheard of.

"stop!"

Just then, a soft shout rang out!

Immediately afterwards, a burly figure appeared and landed between the two groups of people.

With a light stomp of his foot, the bluestone ground shattered instantly with a deafening boom, and a terrifying shockwave swept outwards, causing Chen Yuan and the twelve War Wolf Riders to be thrown backwards.

The twelve black war wolves howled, their once bloodthirsty eyes now filled with terror!

Even the demonic beasts on their backs showed fear in their eyes for the first time.

Chen Yuan steadied himself and stared at the newcomer with a look of horror.

The newcomer was dressed in a blue brocade robe and wore a jade crown.

He was tall and well-proportioned, with a handsome face and an air of refined elegance.

Moreover, he was holding a folding fan in his hand.

Chen Yuan's pupils contracted.

This man appears to be a refined and cultured scholar, but his strength is unfathomable!

The others were startled by his appearance, but immediately bowed respectfully!

"Greetings, Lord Cao!"

All the Wuxiang Guards bowed respectfully to this person, their expressions filled with excitement and fervor!

Lord Cao!

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had learned about the head of the Wuxiang Court in the Western Frontier Prefecture.

That was a man named Cao Wenzhao.

However, he did not expect that Cao Wenzhao was so young.

Although they were reluctant, they could only clasp their hands slightly in greeting.

Cao Wenzhao glanced at the twelve War Wolf Riders, then at Chen Yuan and the others, before stretching, yawning, and patting his left palm with the folding fan in his right hand.

"No fighting here, understand?"

As Cao Wenzhao spoke, he put his hands behind his back and walked into the Wuxiang Courtyard.

The twelve War Wolf Riders exchanged glances, then snorted coldly, made a throat-slitting gesture towards Chen Yuan, and arrogantly rode their war wolves into the Wuxiang Court.

Once Cao Wenzhao spoke, no one dared to disobey him.

Even the Twelve War Wolf Riders were the same.

Seeing this, the others glanced at Chen Yuan with complicated expressions, and then those who wanted to leave left, while those who wanted to enter the Wuxiang Court entered the Wuxiang Court.

"Oh, what a pity! I was really looking forward to seeing a battle between two strong men. It's a shame I won't be able to see it."

Zhu Xin giggled and winked at Chen Yuan, "Let's go in too."

Chen Yuan nodded.

Soon, the group entered the Wuxiang Courtyard.

The buildings in Wuxiangting are enormous; when they entered, it felt like ants entering a land of giants.

"No wonder those twelve guys came in riding war wolves."

Li Wei muttered under his breath.

Zhu Xin led Li Wei and the others to the mission hall with ease.

It's a lively place with people coming and going.

As they entered, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.

However, considering Chen Yuan's recent fame and his previous feat of daring to clash with twelve warhorses at the gate of the Wuxiang Court... such a fierce human man, they did not want to provoke him easily, so they could only glance at him and then look away and leave in a hurry.

After exchanging the heads he had obtained from hunting down members of the Heaven and Earth Sect for a batch of battle merits, Zhu Xin began to take on the mission of searching for the seal of the Western Frontier Prefecture.

An elderly man was in charge of assigning tasks. When he saw that Zhu Xin and the others were going to take on this task, he glanced at them in surprise, but did not offer any further greetings before handing them task tokens.

The old man then told them that after completing the task, they could return here to exchange for battle merits or corresponding rewards.

Zhu Xin accepted the token, nodded, and led the group away.

"There's free food and drinks here, how about we grab some lunch first?"

Zhu Xin suddenly suggested.

Chen Yuan and the others' eyes lit up, and they all nodded in agreement.

Soon, they took their seats at the restaurant in Wuxiangting.

The restaurant is suspended in mid-air, surrounded by clouds and mist, and offers a panoramic view of the entire Western Frontier City.

The scenery is absolutely stunning!

The place was filled with Wuxiang Guards, all drinking and eating meat, or discussing who had taken on what mission, who had solved what major case, etc., creating a lively atmosphere.

They only glanced at Chen Yuan and his group briefly before looking away.

But many people were still very curious and kept looking at it.

Chen Yuan and the others ignored them and started ordering food like crazy.

Who made the meals here free?

The waiter originally wanted to refuse them or humiliate them, but Chen Yuan and the others took out the tokens of the Wuxiang Grand Commander and the Wolf Guard and smashed them hard on the waiter's head, causing him to bleed profusely!

They were intimidated and only then did they obediently serve the food.

"Hmph, you're all cowardly bullies who prey on the weak. You won't serve us food until you're bleeding from the head, is that it?"

Li Wei snorted coldly, extremely arrogant and domineering.
