Zhao Beishan was without the slightest hesitation, and right after the two of them finished speaking, he also echoed:
“I am willing to serve you unto death, my lord!”
To them, the blood of the Snake Demon was an object of desire beyond reach. Chen Yuan’s generosity in sharing it with them was no surprise, given their excitement.
They knew the substance could not be preserved for long, but selling it in the Nanling Prefecture City in a short time would surely be no problem.
Such a superior was worth serving with their lives.
Chen Yuan’s face held a smile. Serving him would naturally come with rewards. If the rewards were insufficient, who would serve him?
Wolf-like nature wasn’t about painting big pies in the sky; it was about directly giving benefits.
Of course, Chen Yuan also had a very good grasp of the situation, preventing occurrences of ungrateful turncoats. Should it happen, he would obliterate their ten clans!
“Serving Chen is nothing special,” he said.
Chen Yuan waved his hand, indicating for the few men to rise.
The yellow-robed man nearby and his companions watched with envy, which was soon replaced by deep worry. How would Chen Yuan deal with them?
Although it was their first encounter with Chen Yuan, they were no strangers to his name or his reputation. He was not as nice as the rumors in the Prefecture City suggested,
having been simply romanticized by the common folk.
“From now on, my life is sold to my lord,” Mo Donghe suddenly said upon standing, making those around him pause in slight shock.
Most of them were associated with the official court, so hearing Mo Donghe talk about selling his life to Chen Yuan… required some serious consideration.
But what they didn’t understand was Mo Donghe’s mindset. In his eyes, Chen Yuan was a genius of unmatched talents, with a strength so formidable that his future prospects could not be constrained by a mere Nanling Prefecture or even Qingzhou.
Having dealt with him over this period, Mo Donghe had come to recognize Chen Yuan’s character: he was very generous to his subordinates, and Mo Donghe was very keen on holding onto those coattails!
Mo Donghe had no background, his talent was decent within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau of Nanling, but it was insignificant when considering the broader Nanling Prefecture or Qingzhou.
At best, he could only amount to becoming a Heavenly Patrol Envoy.
But he wanted more!
Through Chen Yuan, he aspired to reach higher ranks. He had been hesitant, but upon seeing Chen Yuan’s generosity this time, he didn’t want to hesitate any longer.
Otherwise, if Chen Yuan broke through to a higher realm and transferred elsewhere, his offer to serve would just seem redundant and insignificant.
It must be said that Mo Donghe’s path suddenly seemed much wider. His declaration of serving the court no longer held; he now pledged his service to Chen Yuan, prompting Chen Yuan to take a sideways glance, scrutinizing him for a moment.
Seeing this, Zhao Beishan smiled. The four brothers had long followed Chen Yuan, their lives essentially sold to him already.
Thus, they made no statement.
Chen Yuan said nothing while Yan Qing’s gaze sharpened, perhaps pondering the same thoughts as Mo Donghe. With a deep breath, he said:
“I am the same!”
Yang Feng glanced at him in surprise, his eyes filled with some hesitation. It wasn’t that he was unwilling to serve Chen Yuan, but Mo Donghe’s words were somewhat bewildering to him.
Serving Chen Yuan… did it mean that even if Chen Yuan betrayed the court, he would still follow?
And moreover, the usually taciturn Yan Qing had also followed suit unexpectedly.
Yue Shan, observing Chen Yuan’s expression, was also somewhat hesitant. It was true that Chen Yuan had treated him well, but he was a man discovered and fostered by Zhang Xuan, to whom he owed a debt of gratitude.
Now…
Yet, for some reason, he felt an impulsive desire, thinking that Chen Yuan was also promoted by Lord Zhang Xuan; they belonged to the same faction. Given his own low realm, the gap between him and Zhang Xuan was vast. Chen Yuan, on the other hand, as his superior, felt just right. So he declared:
“Me too!”
Seeing a Gang Condensation Martial Artist like Yue Shan make his statement, Chen Yuan smiled and said to them:
“We all serve the court.”
If he didn’t speak now, when the others were forced to take a stand, word might spread and that would be detrimental to Chen Yuan. Thus, he had to stop it now.
Still, Mo Donghe, Yan Qing, and Yue Shan were now seen as his own people.
Seeming to understand Chen Yuan’s words, Mo Donghe said:
“My lord speaks the truth; I misspoke.”
“Alright, take them to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau’s prison to await my personal interrogation. Besides this, no one is to see them, regardless of who they are. As for this snake blood, take it back and divide it later.”
“Hmm, divide the snake bones and flesh as well…” Chen Yuan instructed.
“Yes, we obey,” came the reply.
“Hmm… you…” Chen Yuan wanted to say more but suddenly, his expression turned serious, and he swiftly turned towards a direction not far off. A streak of light came flying, steadily hovering in the air.
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes—the newcomer was none other than Tang Qian of the Azure Flood Dragon Association!
At that moment, he was walking down from the void with his hands behind his back, standing before Chen Yuan with an ambiguous smile on his face:
“I wondered who was causing such a commotion in the North City. It turns out to be the infamous Demon Sword Chen Yuan.”
Frankly, Chen Yuan had indeed caused a major disturbance earlier. A significant number of frightened civilians had fled, and the Azure Flood Dragon Association’s strong influence in the North City made their swift arrival unsurprising.
And if they dared to act, Chen Yuan had nothing to fear.
It was just a Blue Silver Entanglement, after all…
“I am executing official duties, Gang Leader Tang. Do you have any advice for me?” Chen Yuan focused, his presence no weaker than Tang Qian’s, even carrying a hint of equality.
He was no longer the newcomer in Nanling Prefecture City who needed to keep a low profile; now, he might not be world-famous, but he certainly had substantial renown in Qingzhou.
So what if the opponent had reached Reach Profound, Chen Yuan feared nothing.
It seemed that Tang Qian sensed a hint of insolence in Chen Yuan’s tone. Without a sound, the smile on his face faded as he looked straight at Chen Yuan, seemingly pressing down on him with an invisible weight.
Gang Condensing Martial Artists, since when could they sit on equal footing with Reach Profound Martial Artists?
Even Zhang Xuan before had not been so presumptuous.
“If there’s nothing else, I’d ask Gang Leader Tang to step aside. I still need to haul this Snake Demon away,” Chen Yuan said, not avoiding Tang Qian’s gaze, his mind already prepared for a confrontation.
But while he dared to take action, would Tang Qian dare to?
Sensing Chen Yuan’s domineering tone, as if he was certain Tang Qian wouldn’t dare to make a move on the spot, Tang Qian’s grim expression suddenly broke into a smile, as if the person from a moment ago wasn’t him at all.
“Patrol Envoy Chen, such skill indeed, to have slain such a powerful Snake Demon. Truly worthy of being a prodigy within the top hundred of the Hidden Dragon List,” Tang Qian said, looking at the serpent’s body and offering praise.
Even through the massive body of the snake, one could sense the strength of the Snake Demon.
Chen Yuan truly was extraordinary.
“You flatter me.”
“This Snake Demon Blood is not bad. I, Tang Qian, have taken a liking to it. Patrol Envoy Chen, why don’t you name your price?”
“Drinking Snake Blood is often a delight. Trifles of gold and silver — do you think I would lack them? I’ve already rewarded these things to my subordinates. If Gang Leader Tang truly wants it, feel free to discuss with them.”
Chen Yuan’s gaze held a hint of mockery.
This was clearly somewhat disrespectful to Tang Qian. It was as if he regarded Tang Qian’s status as unequal to his own, even suggesting he negotiate with subordinates.
But Tang Qian’s expression remained unchanged as he sighed regretfully,
“Since the Snake Blood already has an owner, there’s nothing much for me to say. It’s just a pity.”
“Not a pity at all. Everything has its use.”
“Patrol Envoy Chen, there may be some misunderstandings between us. Han’er’s death was brought by his own actions. I won’t hold a grudge against Patrol Envoy Chen. In fact, I wish to engage and establish a connection with someone as outstanding as Patrol Envoy Chen.”
The tone of Tang Qian was extremely cordial.
“Really? To make friends with Brother Tang is also my wish,” Chen Yuan quickly changed his address to Brother Tang!
This meant he was placing himself on an equal footing with him.
“Good, good…”
Tang Qian laughed heartily, seeming genuinely delighted,

“Let our past grievances be dissolved with a smile; it should make for a good story. Should you find yourself with leisure time, feel free to visit the Azure Flood Dragon Association. As for now, Brother Chen, you have just slain the Snake Demon, best you return to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau posthaste.”
“Alright.”
Chen Yuan nodded his head.
Afterward, Tang Qian exchanged a few more words before excusing himself and soaring into the sky, leaving behind Chen Yuan with a contemplative face. Tang Qian’s visit couldn’t have been just to exchange pleasantries; he must have had an ulterior motive…
But after pondering, Chen Yuan still couldn’t figure it out. Yet, his vigilance had heightened. If Tang Qian, who wanted to lower Chen Yuan’s defenses, knew this, it was uncertain what he’d think.
The Seven Killings Hall will accept the mission and soon take action, but Tang Qian didn’t want to involve himself directly. Otherwise, he might as well take matters into his own hands. After much consideration, he decided it was best to resolve hostilities with Chen Yuan overtly.
Not to deceive Chen Yuan, but to show others while simultaneously leveraging some connections. Even if Tao Qingyuan suspected it was his hired assassin,
without evidence, he would not be able to touch him.
After Tang Qian left, Chen Yuan had no intention of lingering and immediately ordered the serpent’s body to be transported back to City East, to be divided at Chen Residence. Meanwhile, he pondered over the Dragon Scale in his possession.
As Chen Yuan returned, the news about him slaying Yunjiang’s Dragon God spread rapidly. The main issue was that they couldn’t store the Snake’s body,
it was practically a parade in front of everyone.
The bisected body of the serpent, though dead, still carried an immense oppressive aura. Ordinary people dared not look at it, but they couldn’t suppress their curiosity either.
Chen Yuan, surveying the scene, quickly took his leave, wondering to himself how this rumor might be twisted. Surely, the seven zhang (approximately 23 meters) long Snake Demon he had slain wouldn’t be exaggerated into a hundred zhang (approximately 333 meters) long Serpent?
That would equate to more than three hundred meters!
But that was beyond his control, and after a moment of thought, he discarded these musings. Prior to entering the previously used secret chamber in the residence, Chen Yuan took out the carefully wrapped Dragon Scale and cleaned it, bit by bit, revealing its true face.
It was pitch black like ink, excessively hard, and lozenge-shaped, about the size of a palm, fitting to serve as a Heart Guard Mirror. But Chen Yuan understood that there must be more to this Dragon Scale.
Sure enough, after it was fully cleansed, there were rows of tiny characters on the back of the Dragon Scale…
It seemed to be an esoteric Dual Cultivation Technique!
Chen Yuan’s eyes sharpened, they say dragons are inherently lascivious…
This… shouldn’t be so straightforward, right? The Dragon Scale should have other mystical properties!
