Free Web NovelChapter 1764: Chapter 839: Settling Old and New Scores Together
"Vice Envoy Feng, isn’t this a bit too overbearing? Since ancient times, treasures belong to those of virtue. This Secret Realm was discovered by all of us together. Why should it belong to the court just because you say so?"
The white-bearded old man was somewhat dissatisfied and let out a cold snort.
If it were during the previous time of chaos under heaven, he could have suppressed this youngster with a wave of his hand. But now that the world had just been pacified and King Yan’s divine might spread across the land, he did not dare be the early bird that sticks its head out.
"That’s right, Elder Yang speaks reason. Why should this Secret Realm be handed over to your Jinyi Guard?"
"Vice Envoy Feng, you’re treating us as if we don’t exist at all, heh heh..."
"Hmph!"
Several Dan Realm Masters all voiced their displeasure at this moment, faintly sharing a common anger.
Vice Envoy Feng’s brows knit slightly as he directly said:
"It seems everyone here has some opinions about the court."
"Vice Envoy Yang, don’t try to use the court to press this old man. This Secret Realm is not something left behind by the court. We Martial Artists cultivate with great difficulty—are we supposed to do it all for the court, and cut off our own path?"
"You two, don’t keep quarreling over this. If we delay any longer, it’s hard to say other people won’t be drawn here. In my view, once the Secret Realm is opened, whatever one can get will depend entirely on one’s own ability.
If one’s ability is lacking, one can’t blame anyone else."
Someone said blandly.
"This old man believes it should be so."
"Then just—"
Vice Envoy Feng’s words had yet to fall when, all of a sudden, heaven and earth changed color. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy shifted, gradually becoming violent and condensing into a vortex of Primordial Energy.
In the originally tranquil void, a portal opened of its own accord at this moment.
The many Dan Realm Masters present all froze for an instant, then their gazes sharpened slightly. They hadn’t expected the Secret Realm to break open on its own. Since that was the case, what was there to wait for?
Just snatch it!
Only, just as they were about to move, a vast oppressive might shrouded heaven and earth. All the Dan Realm Masters hovering in midair instantly felt as though a mountain had been placed upon their shoulders. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Their faces changed on the spot as they fell one after another from the void, no longer able to tread the air.
The previously rather self-assured white-bearded old man now no longer had his earlier calm expression. Instead, his face was filled with terror. Just by imposing pressure alone, the newcomer could force several Dan Realm Masters to be unable to lift their heads.
Even a True Master of the Yang Transformation Realm could not do this!
Could it be a True Monarch?
Damn it,
this tiny Xuyang Prefecture—where would a Yang God True Monarch come from?
A Black Robe embroidered with a coiled python manifested outside the portal. Everyone raised their heads to look, and their hearts all trembled, for that man was shrouded in an invisible Dao Rhythm.
His features could not be seen at all.
"You are the Vice Envoy of the Bing State Jinyi Guard?" Chen Yuan’s indifferent gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on a middle-aged man wearing a standard official robe.
"This humble official is Feng Buting. May I ask, Senior, you are...?" Feng Buting’s eyes were filled with reverence.
"This officer is Jiang He, Great Governor of the Jinyi Guard."
Chen Yuan said lightly.
"This lowly one pays respects to the Great Governor!"
Vice Envoy Feng hurriedly prostrated himself.
The pupils of the surrounding few people shrank sharply, the terror in their eyes even greater.
Who was Jiang He?
He was a powerhouse ranked in the top ten of the Heavenly List, on very close terms with King Yan, and now, by imperial command, held authority over the Jinyi Guard. Even in today’s world, where Immortals had appeared, such figures were still few and far between.
Even if all of them joined forces, they could not withstand a single sword from him.
No wonder his sheer aura alone was this frightening!
The Sword God—how could he not be terrifying?
"Guard this place and report upwards to the Jinyi Guard. Everything inside is to be handed over to Jinyi Guard Headquarters. Whoever dares obstruct—kill without mercy!"
"Yes, this humble official obeys!"
Vice Envoy Feng immediately straightened his chest. Seeing the gazes around him that did not dare look straight at him, the corners of his mouth curled in a smile.
"Mm..."
Chen Yuan nodded lightly. The next instant, he tore open the void and left directly.
The reason he used Jiang He’s identity to stand in front was naturally because Chen Yuan did not wish to expose his own identity. In the eyes of everyone at present, he should still be in the Capital in seclusion.
"We respectfully see the Great Governor off!"
Feng Buting said in a clear voice.
After speaking, he raised his head and, looking at the surrounding Jianghu Martial Artists, said softly:
"The Great Governor has given his order. I am to guard the Secret Realm. Does anyone have any objections?" free𝑤ebnovel.com

Divine Capital City.
As for the alliance on the Grassland between the Buddhist faction and the Grassland forces, Chen Yuan did not know. Of course, even if he did, it would not change much. At mid Human Immortal, he was enough to match a mid Earth Immortal powerhouse.
Even if the two joined forces, he could not be said to fear them.
After all, his combat strength had never been weak; he truly rather wanted to try fighting two at once.
In just half a day, Chen Yuan returned to Divine Capital City and, within the Imperial Palace, saw Su Ziyue. At this moment, she was reviewing memorials, her expression grave.
"Nothing has happened recently?"
Chen Yuan slowly manifested his figure.
"Nothing."
As for Chen Yuan’s comings and goings like a ghost, Su Ziyue had long grown accustomed. She put down the brush in her hand and continued softly:
"These are memorials that Pingyang was unable to handle properly—some of the current situations in the Central Plains Thirteen States."
"Mm, go on."
Chen Yuan was unwilling to handle them himself, but that did not mean he was truly a hands-off shopkeeper. The things he ought to know, he still needed to understand.
"There’s not much happening in the South State. Since the last great battle, the Demon clans have made no moves. They’re probably entangled by some matter recently and are temporarily nothing to fear.
On the East Sea side, Martial Emperor City has already split its authority and handed it to the court. Ye Xiangnan is a clever man; he knows what you want is to truly grasp power in your own hands."
Chen Yuan shook his head:
"What Ye Xiangnan seeks is merely to become an Immortal. Now that the Immortal Domain’s great enemy is at our doorstep, he understands the difference between what’s light and what’s heavy. And he likely wants even more, which is why things are going so smoothly.
However much he yields, just accept it."
