Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 189 One Punch
The atmosphere inside Qingxin Xiaozhu was somewhat subtle.

"Canglang Sanren, a rogue cultivator from Qing Teng County? I seem to have heard of this name on Yan Hui Island. If I remember correctly, he should be a well-known Qi Refining Lesser Completion cultivator. It is rumored that he is not far from Qi Refining Greater Completion. I did not expect that he would come to me now."

Jiang Chen glanced at the challenge letter in his hand, lost in thought.

During this period, many cultivators from Qing Teng County came to Qingyuan County. Although most of them were independent cultivators, there were still some powerful figures who made a name for themselves in Qingyuan County in a short period of time. Among them was this Canglang Sanren.

"Judging from the current situation, the cultivators of Qing Teng County do indeed have the idea of ​​settling down in Qing Yuan County. Naturally, the local cultivators of Qing Yuan County are unwilling to do so, especially those cultivation families, since these cultivators from Qing Teng County are here to share their benefits."

"Under such circumstances, the cultivators of Qing Teng County dared not go too far, lest they incur the public outrage of the cultivators of Qing Yuan County. Under such circumstances, my Taiping Sect stands out somewhat, after all, my Taiping Sect has a past with the Lu family, and now it has become an outcast in the eyes of various forces in Qing Yuan County, and has been subjected to invisible exclusion."

“If we are the target, all parties will hesitate, and we will be the best breakthrough point.”

As the thoughts collided, Jiang Chen guessed seven or eight parts of Canglang Sanren's plan. He knew that this was the backlash after the Lu family was destroyed.

"Sect Master, how should we handle this challenge?"

Looking up at Jiang Chen's expression, Wang Yuan asked a question.

Although he didn't know much about the situation yet, he knew that Canglang Sanren was stronger than Luo Qiao, the former master of Yuling Sect. However, compared to his previous worries and fears, he was now calm and composed. Although he was serious about facing his enemy, he was not panicked at all.

Things are different now. He is not the same person he used to be, the Taiping Sect is not the same as it used to be, and the sect leader Jiang Chen is far better than before.

As someone who usually had a lot of contact with Jiang Chen, he didn't know exactly how strong Jiang Chen was, but he knew that Jiang Chen must be very strong. Jiang Chen was able to defeat Luo Qiao back then, so he could naturally defeat Canglang Sanren today.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen glanced at him.

"Since he has come to us, let's accept his offer. He has been holding back for so long, it's time to show his true colors. Otherwise, even if we reject Canglang Sanren today, Bailang Sanren will probably come tomorrow."

Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen gave his answer.

When the Lu family was destroyed, the situation was tense, and he focused on his cultivation. Naturally, the Taiping Sect had to remain silent and avoid the limelight. However, now that the biggest wave has passed, the Taiping Sect cannot continue like this, otherwise, a constant stream of troubles will come knocking on its door.

Although the Taiping Sect was not openly implicated in the Lu family's affairs this time, many people probably saw it as an opportunity to deal with the Taiping Sect. After all, to some extent, this was the right move in the general trend.

Compared to the past, the most powerful force in Qingyuan County now belongs to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion, followed by the Lu family. Under such circumstances, if the Taiping Sect wants to maintain peace, it must show its corresponding strength and strike first to avoid being struck a hundred times.

Upon hearing this, without any hesitation, Wang Yuan immediately bowed and agreed.

"Judging from the information gathered from Yan Hui Island, the Dao Foundation cultivator of the royal family has most likely left Qingyuan County. As it turns out, this Dao Foundation cultivator doesn't care about things below at all, whether it's things in Qingyuan County or the rebellion in Changfeng County. What they really care about are only things at their own level." After Wang Yuan left, Jiang Chen got up and went to the small courtyard. Looking at the gloomy sky in the distance, he was somewhat lost in thought.

"With its natal magic weapon, the Mist Dragon's cultivation has improved quite rapidly. It can even fight against a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator. In this way, I can reveal my own strength and gain peace through power. It's just admitting that I have been hiding my strength. This time, I just happened to get the treasure and broke through."

"From this perspective, the timing of Canglang Sanren's arrival is not bad, saving me the trouble of looking for a suitable opportunity myself. In addition, I can also take this opportunity to see if that person is really him."

With his mind returning to himself, Jiang Chen had a relatively clear plan for his next steps.

After confirming the area of ​​QH County, he conducted a covert investigation over the past few days and a highly suspicious candidate came to his attention. However, whether it was indeed the person in question still needed to be confirmed.

Meanwhile, when the Taiping Sect's reply arrived, Canglang Sanren was drinking with a friend.

"This Taoist of Peace is indeed worthy of being a sword cultivator. He has quite the courage. I have to look at him with more respect."

After downing a cup of wine, Canglang Sanren let out a sigh. He was a middle-aged man with a thin build, dressed in a blue robe, and his hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, giving him a somewhat refined air.

Upon hearing this, the old man sitting opposite him nodded. His name was Tu Weng, and he was skilled in observing the wind and qi and in formations. Although his cultivation was not as good as Canglang Sanren, he had already achieved a minor level of mastery.

"It's indeed a bit different from what I expected. I originally thought he would refuse your challenge and then try to find a way to negotiate, but I didn't expect him to agree directly. But perhaps that's just how sword cultivators are."

"But no matter what, you must go all out this time and not be careless in the slightest. Although Jiang Chen's cultivation is far inferior to yours, he is still a sword cultivator. His killing power is fierce and you must be cautious. Do not be careless and ruin the good thing."

"After observing for this period of time, I have basically confirmed that Muyu Island is indeed a good place with abundant spiritual energy. It is just that it is hidden by a large array, so outsiders have not discovered it."

"Currently, most people are focused on Qingxi and Qingquan counties. This is a rare opportunity for us. As long as we successfully seize Muyu Island, I can help you establish a strong presence. At that time, we will truly have a foothold in Qingyuan County and will no longer be rootless duckweed."

With a solemn expression, Tuweng's words were full of earnestness.

Upon hearing this, Canglang Sanren put down his wine cup and nodded solemnly.

Both he and Tuweng were originally independent cultivators. Although they had each had some opportunities and achieved what they have today, they were well aware of the hardships of being independent cultivators.

Moreover, having cultivated to this point, they no longer harbor any illusions about establishing a foundation for their Dao. They have all considered expanding their lineage and passing on their bloodline. However, the competition within Qing Teng County is too fierce, and it is not easy for them to seize a suitable base with their cultivation level. Most importantly, they are unwilling to rely on the Qing Mu family and be exploited by them.

It was precisely for this reason that the two of them came to Qingyuan County together to try their luck. After all, the Lu family had been wiped out, leaving a considerable void in Qingyuan County. And their luck was truly good; by chance, they discovered the remarkable Muyu Island.
