After the two Colonels under his command left, Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered as he looked westward, then he raised his hand and grasped at the void in that direction.
Soon there was a ripple in the void in front of him, a point of red light gathered, then flashed suddenly as a figure in a red dress stumbled out, staggered slightly, but quickly regained her footing.
"Brother!" Lian Nichang called out crisply upon seeing Chen Yuan.
"Wait a mont," Chen Yuan said.
Then, with another grasp, this ti his hand directly reached into the void. The void undulated like water, and after two or three breaths, a white light flashed from the void as an old man with disheveled hair and a bulbous, ruddy nose cried out and fell to the ground.
After appearing here, Old Man Dong was initially a bit dazed, protected by Gang Qi. Upon seeing Chen Yuan, he remarked grumpily, "Chen, what did you suddenly grab here for? You nearly scared to death; I almost activated my powers..."
Before he could finish, he noticed the place was not the little green bamboo courtyard; it was quite grand. His eyes darted left and right, finding it peculiar, "Where is this? This place, this building, has a profound aura, quite extraordinary."
Saying this, his ruddy nose twitched, his brow furrowed, "There’s also a strong scent of blood, probably many people have died here."
"Where are we, Chen?"
Old Man Dong had been stuck in his retreat since acquiring a Great Demon from Chen Yuan last ti, always pondering how to brew a rare fine wine from it, neglecting his appearance and oblivious to the outside world. He didn’t know that Chen Yuan had gone out recently, causing quite a stir.
Chen Yuan had directly pulled him from his retreat.
"This was the previous Royal Beiliang Mansion, I moved it over here, planning to refine it into a Personal Cave Heaven." Chen Yuan casually said this with indifference, then raised his eyelids to glance at the strangely faced Old Man Dong, a hint of amusent in his eyes, "Elder Dong, now that you’ve surpassed Dragon and Tiger to beco one of the few Great Divine Ability Users of Heaven and Earth, don’t just bury yourself in your wine. It’s ti you ca out and let the world know of your reputation!"
Upon hearing this youngster lavish praises on him, Old Man Dong’s familiar feeling of suspicion arose, "Speak up, what trouble have you caused this ti?"
He said this, digging his ear with one hand, eyes filled with doubt, wondering if he misheard, "Did the old man hear wrong? Did you just say you moved the Royal Beiliang Mansion here? Then where does the King of Beiliang live? The man commands a million troops as a Vassal King!"
"Well, he raised an army to rebel!"
Chen Yuan’s words directly stunned Old Man Dong, his pupils involuntarily dilating, then furiously,
"You plague-ridden kid, always up to no good, only thinking of for bad things, not listening, not listening, the old man still wants to live a few more years."
Saying this, he angrily turned to leave.
"There are countless tribute fine wines in this Prince Mansion, Elder Dong can drink to your heart’s content!" Chen Yuan just casually remarked from behind, making the angry Old Man Dong’s steps co to a halt, hesitating for a mont, his eyes wavering with temptation.
"Where is it?"
Chen Yuan called out, "Soone co!"
One of the ones in waiting ca over imdiately, "General!"
"Take Elder Dong to the wine cellar, he can do as he pleases there!"
"Yes!"
The armored soldier under his command acknowledged, then led Old Man Dong, who rubbed his hands, his nose excitedly red, to the wine cellar of the mansion.
Standing aside, Lian Nichang, who had not spoken all along, couldn’t help but say upon seeing this amusing scene:
"Brother’s way of dealing with Elder Dong is truly... unique!"
Chen Yuan turned his head and chuckled, shaking his head,
"Old Dong just loves a drink. Ever since we’ve known each other, every ti sothing cos up, he complains and grumbles, but he never shirks when it cos to helping. An occasional verbal sparring can be quite entertaining!"
Rembering this, Chen Yuan’s eyebrows twitched, and he asked Lian Nichang, "Speaking of which, I just realized I did a sweep over several hundred miles, but I didn’t see the Dragon Girl?"
"Replying to Brother, the Dragon Girl left suddenly three days ago on so affair. I was about to tell Brother, but you weren’t around at the ti."
Three days ago? Chen Yuan thought, at that ti he was in Liangzhou on a killing spree!
"Do you know what the matter was?" Chen Yuan was a bit surprised. Ever since the Northern Sea Dragon Girl followed, she hadn’t left, so he had gotten used to her presence. But since this person rarely showed herself, he hadn’t noticed she was gone.
"Ni Chang doesn’t know, the Dragon Girl left without warning and it seed urgent."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan’s brows furrowed slightly. She left without saying anything?
Having known the Dragon Girl for a year now, he still knew very little about her with few interactions, not knowing why she left this ti. However, assuming her strength was recuperated to the Dragon and Tiger level, self-preservation should pose no problem.
After these thoughts passed through his mind, he temporarily set the matter aside, nodded slowly, then his expression beca more solemn, his tone turning a bit grim,
"It should be okay. You ca for what just happened?"
Lian Nichang nodded, her spirited eyebrows carrying a hint of gravity, her voice low,
"Ni Chang has ordered Qingshan County Magistrate to lock down the entire city, thoroughly inspecting all strangers, but the county’s manpower has low Cultivation. Moreover, the enemy is in the dark while we are exposed; their targets are also ordinary civilians, which worries Ni Chang..."
Chen Yuan nodded, a chilling glint flashing in his eyes, "Since they’re coming for , I shall bear it all!"
"Let’s walk and talk. I’ve instructed the troops under my command to deliberate and co up with a plan, you should co along too!"
