Swordholder

"Heh heh, you damned bastard! If A-Yuan had thrown a sword instead, do you think you'd still be standing here?"

Li Wei spoke up, his face full of sarcasm and mockery.

The others immediately realized what was happening.

That's right, if Chen Yuan had struck with his sword earlier, the tiger-faced man's head would have been gone!

What's the point of talking about killing Chen Yuan within ten moves?

"you!!"

The tiger-faced man's face flushed red. He felt a tightness in his chest and kicked the chair in front of him away, about to draw the long knife from his body at Chen Yuan!

Snapped!

Just then, another wine glass slammed onto the table.

The sound was crisp, not loud, but it rang in everyone's ears like a thunderclap.

"Do you really think my words are just empty talk?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it exploded in everyone's minds like a thunderclap.

The tiger-faced man, who was about to draw his sword, changed his expression drastically and instantly sheathed it.

Chen Yuan and the others looked in the direction of the sound... They saw a man in a brocade robe in a corner of the restaurant, his back to them, drinking by himself.

Cao Wenzhao!

Upon seeing the appearance of the Lord of the Wuxiang Court, Zhanlong, who had been staring at Chen Yuan, said with a cold gaze, "Chen Yuan, I heard you've also taken on the mission to find the Great Seal of the Western Frontier Prefecture. Perfect, we'll meet in the Cangming Mountains then. Let's see if your mouth is still as stubborn as it is now!"

After Zhanlong finished speaking, he pulled Zhanhu, who was looking furious, and turned to leave.

The other members of the War Wolf Cavalry also glared coldly at Chen Yuan before leaving in anger.

Everyone was greatly shocked.

The Cangming Mountains!

"I heard that the seal of the Western Frontier Prefecture was thrown into the Cangming Mountains by that mysterious person. It seems that there is going to be an earth-shattering battle between the Twelve War Wolf Riders and this group of Wolf Guards."

"Damn, I don't want to miss this exciting show! I'm going to take this mission. Maybe I'll get lucky and find the seal of the Western Frontier Prefecture? Even if I don't, just witnessing a fierce battle wouldn't be a loss."

Someone murmured softly, causing a stir throughout the restaurant.

In an instant, everyone left and headed to the mission hall.

Chen Yuan and the others did not expect that their conflict with the Twelve War Wolf Riders would attract countless people to take on this mission.

"let's go."

Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze from the back of the Lord of the Wuxiang Court, and then left the place with Li Wei and the others.

After leaving the magnificent Wuxiangting Palace, at Zhu Xin's suggestion, the group began to gather information and data about the Cangming Mountains, including maps.

The Cangming Mountains are vast and fraught with danger. Without these items, venturing into them would be tantamount to suicide.

A day later, with everything ready, Chen Yuan and the others, led by Zhu Xin, quietly left Xijiang City.

"Heh heh, we've offended so many people, and if we leave Western Frontier City, wouldn't that be suicide?"

Along the way, a bald young man couldn't help but tease him.

The bald young man was named Wang Hu. He was tall and strong with a resolute face, but he had a completely bald head.

Zhong Yue glanced at him. "Wang Hu, do you think we won't die if we stay in Xijiang City?"

Wang Hu chuckled, "That's true, hahaha, dying outside is better than dying in that alchemy furnace."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Taiyi, who was carrying a sword on his back, and said, "Sword Immortal, don't you think so?"

Li Taiyi's smile faded, his expression turning serious. "I only hope that before I die, I can find as many resources as possible for the family and send them back."

Chen Yuan looked at Li Taiyi in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so family-oriented."

Li Taiyi looked at Chen Yuan and said with a wry smile, "There's nothing we can do. Our human race is declining, and our family and business are small. The disciples who are training outside can only do their best to contribute their remaining energy, earn as many resources as possible, and contribute more to the family so that this great tree of the family can continue to prosper and protect more of our people."

Chen Yuan nodded.

If he didn't have the Chen family behind him, and the Chen family patriarch protecting him, he would still be wandering around like before, and wouldn't be as successful as he is now.

Moreover, the Chen family has always been united and united against external forces.

Otherwise, given the current environment, if human families continue to fight amongst themselves, they will only perish even faster.

Li Taiyi suddenly looked at Chen Yuan and said seriously, "Brother Chen, I know you have great courage and resources, and you probably also have great fortune..."

As he said this, he stared intently at Chen Yuan, and the others were stunned, not understanding why he said this.

"No, I just live a carefree life. Since we're all going to die eventually anyway, I might as well live a more spontaneous and unrestrained life during the process. If anyone disagrees with me, I'll fight them. It's no big deal."

Chen Yuan smiled nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Li Tai nodded, his face pleading, and said, "What I want to say is, if you don't die in the end, I hope you can help me bring the resources I have back to the Li family in Qingyang County!"

Chen Yuan was taken aback and was about to refuse, but seeing Li Taiyi's pleading look, he nodded, "Okay, then, as long as I don't die, I will definitely help you take it back."

Lee Tae-il breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu slapped his forehead and said, "Me too, Brother Chen, bring all the resources I have back to the Wang family."

Following that, the others also spoke up.

Chen Yuan glanced at everyone, somewhat bewildered. "What are you all doing? We haven't even reached the final step yet, and you're already making arrangements for your funerals?"

Upon hearing this, everyone grinned.

"We dare not run away. If we do, what will happen to the families behind us? We can only face death."

Another boy named Gu Chen grinned.

Chen Yuan looked at him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "There must be a way. It's not like we have to die."

Gu Chen smiled, taking it as Chen Yuan simply comforting everyone.

After considering it in his mind, Chen Yuan decided not to pass on the Great Nirvana Creation Scripture to them.

Firstly, the Great Nirvana Creation Sutra is still incomplete.

Secondly, the people in front of him are not yet that close to him.

Of course, Li Wei and Nuomi are different.

The group of fifteen people continued to venture deeper into the Cangming Mountains.

Throughout the journey, Zhu Xin carried a mountain-shaped map to guide her and guess the possible location where the seal of the Western Frontier Prefecture might have fallen.

……

Meanwhile, dozens of kilometers above Chen Yuan and the others, a spaceship was quietly floating.

On the deck of the spaceship, a group of people in law enforcement uniforms stood quietly, looking down at the vast mountains below.

The leader among them, dressed in white, with a cold and dignified face, was none other than Luo Qingzhu, the Deputy Chief Judge of the Enforcement Division!

Beside him stood Gao Yue, dressed in purple, with a graceful figure and noble appearance, yet her phoenix eyes held a murderous glint!

"Brother Luo, I want that slut dead, and I want that beast dead too!"

Gao Yue stared at the vast mountain range below, gritting her teeth as she spoke.

Luo Qingzhu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, their mission tokens have the mark of the Mission Hall. I brought the main token of the Mission Hall with me, so no matter where they are, we can find them."

Upon hearing this, the chief of law enforcement beside him narrowed his eyes.

One of them said worriedly, "Lord Luo, Chen Yuan's combat power is too terrifying. Are we going to start a direct war with them? Wouldn't that be too risky?"

Upon hearing this, the other guards nodded in agreement.

Chen Yuan is a fierce man who dares to confront the Twelve War Riders head-on. He is not the kind of lowly commoner who can be bullied by them. How could they not be wary of him?

Luo Qingzhu smiled faintly: "Hehe, if we take action ourselves, we'll not only get ourselves into trouble, but we might also get ourselves into trouble. So, there's no need for us to take action!"

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Yue narrowed her eyes: "Brother Luo, if we don't take action ourselves, then... who will?"

Gao Yue's eyes narrowed sharply: "The Twelve War Wolf Riders!"

Luo Qingzhu nodded: "That's right, it's the Twelve War Wolf Riders."

"But that's not enough!"

"To ensure the inevitable deaths of Chen Yuan and the others, we need the help of others!"

Gao Yue and the others looked at Luo Qingzhu in surprise.

"The Feng family!"

Luo Qingzhu said.

"The Feng family? Chen Yuan is a humanoid elixir personally designated by the Pavilion Master of the Alchemy Pavilion to be protected. Would the Feng family dare to touch him?"

Gao Yue said hesitantly.

"I don't care whether they dare or not, as long as I get this information to them."

Luo Qingzhu said calmly.
