152: Night raid on a woman's boudoir (asking for a monthly ticket)

The silver vase burst, and water gushed out.

A cold light shone like a shooting star, instantly shattering an old man, blood splattering across the sky, just like this scene.

Then, in the terrified, wide-open eyes of the crowd below, the spear continued its momentum, the brilliant cold light growing larger and larger in their eyes, plunging diagonally to the ground.

“Boom!”

A roar shook the heavens and earth.

Following the great spear plowing the ground, earth and stone flew everywhere, and along its path, “bang, bang, bang,” one by one, people could only stare with terrified eyes as those in front of them exploded into blood mist, and then it was their turn.

It was as if that heaven-piercing great spear used the ground as paper and blood as ink, drawing a line of blood across the earth!

Finally, the great spear plowed the ground for hundreds of meters before stopping.

The enormous spear, dozens of meters high, gleamed with formidable power, slamming into everyone's pupils like a meteor.

Then, a figure flashed down, standing atop the spear shaft, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

The setting sun, like blood, illuminated his profile, just as it did when Chen Yanwang first arrived at the Heavenly Gate Xiongcheng!

“Chen Yanwang!”

“He didn’t leave!”

Someone cried out with a trembling voice, looking at that figure, his legs turning to jelly, then pounding his chest and stomping his feet in alarm, “We’ve been tricked!”

At this moment, Chen Yuan’s gaze suddenly shifted, landing on the only remaining old man, who was as withered as a dried corpse.

The shriveled old man instantly felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast; his expression changed, and his hair stood on end.

Without a word, he turned and fled, his heart filled with terror.

When Chen Yuan was causing heads to roll at Tianxiong Pass, both of them, the old men, were in seclusion. They heard various families denounce how overbearing this Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General was, how he caused heads to roll, and the crimes that unsettled various forces, yet they both remained quite indifferent.

If it weren’t for their older generation pursuing seclusion and not meddling too much in worldly affairs, how could the younger generation dare to be so rampant?

But just now, that companion of his couldn’t even block a single move.

For a moment, he was horrified, regretting in his heart that he shouldn’t have interfered.

But in this world, there is no such thing as regret medicine. Just as the shriveled old man had fled over a hundred meters, a sound of breaking air came from behind him.

So fast!

The old man jumped in fright, turning to see a golden streak of light, swift as the wind.

The old man’s sunken, murky eyes changed; he formed a sword-finger gesture, urging the green sword beneath his feet to fly out.

“Slash!”

The green great sword shot out, emitting a piercing shriek, and a luminous arc lit up at its tip.

The next second,

“Clang!” a huge metallic clang sounded.

The green great sword was seen striking a pair of wings covered in golden scales.

The great sword shattered one or two golden scales, turning into a shower of light, but it could not advance further.

And in the space of a breath, the folded golden Physical Body wings suddenly spread open, flicking the green great sword away with a clang, then revealing Chen Yuan’s chilling gaze from within.

“Hiss!”

The air suddenly pulled out an afterimage.

The shriveled old man’s face was filled with terror; he quickly stretched out his withered palm and suddenly grabbed at the Void Realm in front of him.

“Ding!”

The next instant, the golden, ferocious figure appeared before him. His eagle-claw-like hands landed on the figure’s body, but only scraped out a spark.

Then, a choking sound came from his throat, his sunken eyes bulged out, and he lowered his head.

He saw a pair of hands covered in fine golden scales directly pierce through his chest.

Then, with a roar, they ripped outwards.

“Ah!”

A tragic cry echoed through the sky.

The second old man also died.

After Chen Yuan killed the two men, he put the green great sword into his sleeve and then plummeted to the ground.

At this time, after his four demon transformations, using his Physical Body transformation, his height was close to ten zhang.

With golden wings on his back and golden scaled armor, he resembled a ferocious demon god.

As his gaze swept around, the terrifying Divine Ability, for those with unstable minds, was captivated by it.

Some tried to flee. Under the slanting sunset, several figures ran and ran, then their bodies suddenly split in two, falling to the ground, a bizarre and terrifying sight.

Then, only a series of “clinking and clanking” sounds could be heard.

As far as the eye could see, one by one, the lackeys dropped their weapons, their bodies going limp, collapsing to the ground.

“Have mercy, my Lord!”

“We won’t dare to do it again!”

“…”

Then, the Inner City gate swung open, and the soldiers who had been cowering inside charged out.

“Haha!”

Wei Zhong laughed and strode out.

Chen Yuan’s gaze swept around at this moment, projecting outwards. Immediately, the probing gazes in the dark, fearing they might be misunderstood by Chen Yanwang, retracted as if avoiding snakes and scorpions.

On a rooftop somewhere in the northwest, a figure saw the golden light quickly sweep by, shivered, having witnessed the power of Divine Ability, and quickly disappeared, reappearing by emerging from the ground several li away.

Then, he furiously cursed.

“I knew it; this fellow is truly cunning.”

“The camp’s equipment I accumulated was probably taken by this guy.”

“Forget it, this place is not suitable for long stays. They are conducting a major purge, surely because their Town Demon Envoy died and they are enraged. For now, it’s best not to provoke them; I can only think of another way.”

After saying this, the person disappeared from the spot.

In the distance, after Chen Yuan scanned the surroundings with his Dharma Eye and found no abnormalities, he withdrew his Divine Ability, returned to his normal size, and met up with Wei Zhong.

A clamor, as night deepened, gradually faded away.

Late at night, candlelight flickered.

In the Zhonglang Hall, Chen Yuan sat on the main seat of the great hall, his eyebrows slightly lowered.

At this moment, inside the hall, there was a continuous bustle of activity. One by one, large black boxes, affixed with Talisman Restrictions, were carried into the great hall by Wei Zhong’s subordinates. Looking around, there were easily over a hundred boxes.

“Chen Yuan, please check them!”

Wei Zhong said with a smiling face, stroking his beard, and with a wave of his sleeve, the seals on the boxes were blown away one by one, and the boxes opened.

Once the boxes were opened, a misty Qi permeated the air, and treasures radiated light.

Spiritual Plants, Medicinal Pills, gleaming armor, and the like.

“The various materials that my Lord requested, I, Wei, have collected some. A large part of them were confiscated from various families.”

Saying this, he handed over a piece of paper.

“This is the detailed list.”

Chen Yuan waved his hand, indicating it wasn’t necessary, and walked forward, casually picking up a bottle of Medicinal Pills from one of the boxes. He opened it and sniffed; a clear fragrance filled his nostrils, and he nodded.

“Leaving aside what was confiscated, Zhonglang General Wei, how much silver did the rest cost?”

Wei Zhong, however, burst into laughter,

“Chen Yuan, please don’t mention that again. Isn’t that just making things difficult for me? After all, it was I, Wei, who benefited. In short,” he whispered,

“This is all what you, Chen Yuan, deserve.”

Chen Yuan’s eyes moved; he roughly understood the Zhonglang’s meaning and laughed heartily, “As the ancients said, ‘pulling out a single hair to benefit the world.’ These fellows have indeed done me, Chen, a good turn. In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be used, so I will accept it without courtesy!”

Saying this, he flicked his sleeve, and one by one, the treasure boxes were sucked into his sleeve.

Wei Zhong had previously seen Chen Yuan display this Divine Ability from a distance, but seeing it up close now, he felt a sudden chill in his heart, his eyes flickering rapidly.

A great Divine Ability similar to the Sleeve of the Universe, plus having personally contended with Chen Yuan’s Dao soldiers, who seemed to have achieved a Breakthrough into the Extreme Dao Domain, and numerous powerful Divine Abilities—if this person grows in the future, he will surely be extraordinary!

Not to mention the thunderous methods he has employed in the past few days of acquaintance!

This Deputy General Chen must be befriended!

Therefore, he had actually put most of the good things confiscated from various families into this batch of boxes, even transferring some materials from the Weapon Repository in his own mansion.

Seeing Chen Yuan take all these boxes, which proved he accepted the favor, made Wei Zhong feel quite happy.

And Chen Yuan, seeing that he had achieved his goal, did not drag things out. It was time for him to leave.

So he cupped his hands towards Wei Zhong,

“Zhonglang General Wei, I, Chen, should be leaving now!”

“I won’t disturb you further. Farewell!”

“Good!” Wei Zhong knew the current situation was special and didn’t press him to stay. He nodded, then seemed to remember something: “Wait, Chen Yuan.”

Then he stepped forward two paces, his eyes lowered slightly, and he whispered: “When we few were drinking earlier, you, my Lord, said that you had just taken office and the Fushi hadn’t even had time to grant you the seal. I, Wei, have a word of caution for you, my Lord. Now, the Fushi has suddenly undergone a change, the Town Demon Envoy has fallen, and only three Deputy Commanders remain. Where there are people, there is Jianghu. I know you, Chen Yuan, are an extraordinary person, so I’m just giving you a heads-up.”

Wei Zhong, with the intention of befriending Chen Yuan, kindly offered a warning about the current situation.

Chen Yuan’s brow slightly raised; he pondered for a moment, then nodded.

“Thanks!”

Saying this, he bid farewell and turned to leave.

“Farewell, Deputy General Chen! If we meet again someday, I, Wei, will invite you for a drink!” Wei Zhong shouted from behind, laughing.

Chen Yuan walked out of the great hall. Wherever he passed, the Sky Patrol Division soldiers stopped their horses and bowed their heads.

After walking a few more steps, Chen Yuan disappeared from the spot.

Not long after, Tianxiang Pavilion.

In a room filled with the warm scent of flowers, the dim yellow candlelight flickered.

Amidst the flickering candlelight, a shadow swayed back and forth in the room.

One could clearly see a plump woman with long, cascading black hair and slightly wavy locks, wearing a shimmering scale-like gauze dress, pacing back and forth in the room, occasionally checking if the Restrictions in the room were intact!

Then, she looked at the night outside. It was already deep night; that guy probably wouldn’t come, right?

Thinking this, she also felt a bit tired. She walked to the edge of the bed, which was covered with comfortable blankets, and then her graceful, plump figure settled down. Propping her head with one hand, she closed her eyes, trying to take a short nap.

However, she felt a vague unease in her heart, always thinking that having provoked that person, given his methods today, it was impossible for him to let her off so easily.

She couldn’t doze off no matter what, her delicate brows furrowed. After a long while, she opened her eyes.

But the moment she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of eyes staring at her with interest.

She was startled, her moist, glistening lips moved, but were quickly covered by the other party’s hand.

The other party said with a half-smile:

“I apologize, I, Chen, also didn’t want to disturb your rest, but I am about to leave this place, and I thought about it, I am a person who fears being targeted, so those I provoke, or those who provoke me, either serve me, or else…”

And An Ge looked at this guy’s eyes.

Her lake-blue eyes were filled with annoyance.

She just knew it.

In the early morning, the distant sky turned blue, and the great sun was about to rise from among the eastern mountains.

A streak of light rose from Tianxiang Pavilion and shot towards the Shu direction in the south.

Thus, he left Tianxiong Pass!
