Swordholder

The other Wuxiang Guards, though furious at the sight, dared not make a move.

They had witnessed the ferocity of Chen Yuan and his men.

Many people cursed inwardly.

What's with the arrogance?

That guy won't live much longer.

Ignoring the gazes of the others, Chen Yuan and his companions drank heartily and feasted after many fine wines and dishes were served!

But after eating for a short while, the once noisy restaurant suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked up and saw twelve figures emerge from the stairs and enter the main hall.

"It's the Twelve War Wolf Riders!"

"Why are they eating here too?"

"I heard they accepted the mission to find the seal of the Western Frontier Prefecture."

"What? I saw Chen Yuan and the others take on this mission as well."

"Tsk tsk, this is interesting!"

Many people were surprised to see that the twelve War Wolf Knights had entered, and immediately began to discuss the matter.

Those who knew more couldn't help but speak up.

"They almost came to blows at the door, and now they've been given the same task. Won't that just lead to more conflicts?"

"Absolutely amazing!"

"Hehe, I've heard that half a month ago, twelve war riders entered the Land of Fallen Souls, intending to gather some spiritual plants, fruits, and seeds to prepare a wave of resources before continuing to harass Night City and fight those ghost messengers!"

"Who knew that all the spiritual plants and fruits in the Land of Fallen Souls had been looted clean, leaving nothing behind? They were furious!"

"After they came out, they began to suspect that the spiritual plants and fruits inside had probably been picked clean by Chen Yuan and his men."

"So, they started to dislike Chen Yuan and the others."

"What? It's because of that?"

……

As these people were discussing this, Chen Yuan and the others lowered their heads and ate their food, exchanging glances and chuckling.

They also understood why the Twelve War Wolf Riders and others had provoked them.

Each of the Twelve War Wolf Riders has only one nickname.

The eldest is called Zhanlong (War Dragon), the second is called Zhanshe (War Snake), the third is called Zhanhu (War Tiger), and so on, up to the twelfth Zhanzhu (War Pig).

When the twelve War Wolf Riders saw Chen Yuan and his group, their gazes turned cold. The fourth warhorse in particular snorted coldly, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Chen Yuan had broken his battle halberd; it was an utter disgrace.

But it wasn't convenient to fight here, so they found a larger table to sit down at.

The waiters in the restaurant served fine wine and food without waiting for their orders.

"Some humans are born base, greedy, and utterly depraved. They act like they've never seen anything good before, uprooting all the spiritual plants and fruits from the Land of Fallen Souls. Heh, eating so much, how come they don't choke to death?"

The man on the warhorse swirled the wine glass in his hand, speaking calmly and softly, yet clearly audible.

As he said this, his gaze fell on the people at Chen Yuan's table.

"Hmph, eating so much and fattening yourself up, turning into a human-shaped medicinal plant, wouldn't that just hasten your death? Foolish fellow."

The snake-woman snorted coldly, a disdainful glint in her eyes.

Her cheeks were covered in patterns, and her chin was rather pointed, making her look somewhat eerie.

Among the twelve War Wolf Riders, the second-ranked one is surprisingly a snake woman.

I have to say, that's really surprising!

Chen Yuan and the others looked over curiously.

Previously, they were all wearing black armor, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, making it impossible to see their faces.

Even the Serpent Woman, when wearing armor, appears to be a large and robust woman, making it impossible to tell that she is a woman.

"Brother Chen, we've eaten enough, shall we head out?"

Li Taiyi spoke in a low voice, his expression solemn.

Zhu Xin licked her red lips, glanced at Chen Yuan, and slowly sipped the red wine in her hand, looking quite pleased with herself.

"There are plenty of annoying beasts out there. Ignore them."

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said nonchalantly.

These words caused many people in the restaurant to gasp in shock.

The twelve warhorses' gazes instantly turned even colder.

"Hmph, you cowards who dare to do it but not admit it! If you have the guts, admit that you were the ones who did what happened in the Land of Fallen Destinies!"

The snake woman had a pair of triangular eyes that gleamed with a cold light.

This is a provocation!

Chen Yuan remained unmoved. Although the matter inside the Land of Fallen Life had been suppressed by the Pavilion Master of the Alchemy Pavilion, he could not openly admit it.

This would only make the bigwigs at the official level of the Western Frontier Prefecture lose face.

If we make a move against him then, he'll be dead!

"Hehe, the events in the Land of Fallen Fates, as Instructor Bai Ze himself said, were caused by the invasion of the Underworld's ghost generals in the middle of the night, and have nothing to do with us."

Chen Yuan smiled lightly and said calmly, "You want to blame us for this? That's utterly ridiculous. Are you questioning Instructor Bai Ze's words?"

Or are you questioning the impartiality of the Grand Elder of the Western Frontier Royal Palace's Alchemy Pavilion? Wow, you've got some nerve.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!

Even the twelve war knights' pupils shrank!

"Heh, I remember you guys went in immediately after we came out, saying you were going to hunt down those ghost generals!"

Chen Yuan gently set down his wine cup and sneered, "What? Is it because you guys are too useless and couldn't catch those ghost generals, so you're shifting the blame onto us?"

"Exactly, a bunch of useless trash. What's with all this talk of twelve War Wolf Riders?" Li Wei chimed in. "I think they're just twelve caterpillars, haha!"

Li Wei burst into unrestrained laughter, which prompted Zhong Yue and the others to join in the laughter as well!

These words fell silent instantly, and countless people stared at them in disbelief.

This was the first time they had ever seen anyone dare to insult or even provoke the Twelve War Wolf Riders like this!

That's absolutely insane.

Swish!

The gazes of the twelve War Wolf Riders were like divine swords, shooting over suddenly, making the atmosphere even more tense and chilling, and a monstrous killing intent burst forth from their bodies!

The people in the restaurant instantly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their faces filled with fear and trepidation.

Some people even began to get up shakily, wanting to leave.

Snapped!

Just then, a loud thud of a wine glass slamming onto the table startled those who had stood up, causing them to immediately sit back down.

Everyone looked over and saw that Chen Yuan had taken a sip of wine and smashed the wine glass on the table.

"A bunch of reckless fools, look at your mother!"

Chen Yuan glanced at the twelve War Wolf Riders and coldly cursed.

In an instant, the twelve war wolf riders, who were already on the verge of exploding in rage, suddenly unleashed a murderous aura that shook the entire restaurant, causing the wine bowls on the table to vibrate violently.

Who are you talking about?

Zhan Hu Nan suddenly stood up, his eyes like unsheathed divine swords, staring intently at Chen Yuan.

The other War Wolf Riders also stood up, their killing intent palpable!

Everyone stared at Chen Yuan in shock. Unsurprisingly, Chen Yuan remained direct and forceful, saying, "You fucking have no sense of propriety at all! I'm talking about you scumbags!"

"presumptuous!"

Zhan Hu roared and strode towards Chen Yuan with the powerful stride of a tiger. Along the way, he kicked over several dining tables, knocked over drinks, and smashed bowls and plates, leaving them shattered on the floor!

Everyone held their breath.

I'm coming!

Is a fight about to break out?

Unexpectedly, Zhan Hu stopped just two or three meters away from Chen Yuan's table. "Do you dare to fight me outside the city? Within ten moves, I will surely take your head."

Chen Yuan laughed, then suddenly grabbed a wine glass from the table and smashed it hard against the tiger-masked man's face!

With a loud crash, the tiger-masked man was caught off guard and hit squarely. The wine glass shattered, and wine and glass shards splashed all over his face!

He was stunned. He touched the shards of glass on his face, his expression one of disbelief.

The glass didn't break his skin, but it was extremely insulting.

"you……!!"

The tiger-faced man was furious, glaring at Chen Yuan through gritted teeth, about to unleash a torrent of abuse, but Chen Yuan interrupted him.

Chen Yuan glanced at him contemptuously. "Are you worthy to fight me? If I were to make a move, why would I need ten moves? One sword strike would be enough to kill you."

When Chen Yuan spoke, his words were powerful and resounding, and a domineering aura swept across the sky, making the tiger-faced man's face turn ashen, as if he saw a monstrous killing intent surging down on him.
