Chapter 846: Chapter 497: Overbearing! (Monthly Ticket Requested)
In front of the Liangzhou Heavenly Patrol Bureau.
Before arriving, Chen Yuan had already changed into the official attire of a Heavenly Patrol Golden Envoy, ready to take office.
The Heavenly Patrol Guard standing at the gate eyed Chen Yuan, who was gradually approaching, particularly noting the Golden Envoy insignia on his chest. Instinctively, he swallowed, not daring to step forward to obstruct or rebuke him.
Instead, he remembered what his superior had told him over drinks the previous day, about the famed Jianghu Demon Blade coming to Liangzhou to serve as a Golden Envoy, advising him to stay sharp and not provoke anyone he shouldn’t.
Even if the two Golden Envoys above were dissatisfied with this person, it wasn’t something a mere Heavenly Patrol Guard should get involved in.
So, as he watched Chen Yuan gradually draw nearer, the Heavenly Patrol Guard took a deep breath, approached respectfully, clasped his hands in salute, and said, “Subordinate pays respects to Envoy Chen!”
Chen Yuan halted his steps, fixing his gaze on the Heavenly Patrol Guard before him, and spoke:
“Do you recognize me?”
“Responding to the lord, I heard two days ago that you would be taking office in Liangzhou, so I made some assumptions in my heart.”
“Not bad.”
Chen Yuan nodded, but internally, he started to form certain opinions about the Liangzhou Heavenly Patrol Bureau. It seems his impending appointment has already caused some commotion here.
Otherwise, a mere Heavenly Patrol Guard wouldn’t know about his coming.
It must have been passed down layer by layer from higher-ups.
An ill-intentioned visitor indeed!
No….
He was the visitor!
Chen Yuan thought of this and his lips curled slightly.
He enjoyed watching others approach him as if confronting a formidable enemy, especially when it was the pressure he brought.
“Would you allow me to report inside, my lord?”
The Heavenly Patrol Guard continued, bowing low and speaking softly.
By the rules, Chen Yuan was not yet officially the superior of the Liangzhou Heavenly Patrol Bureau, so he should be prevented from entering. However, if the other party insisted on entering, he wouldn’t stop him either.
It was merely a customary inquiry; otherwise, if it reported upwards, he wouldn’t have a good outcome.
“Very well, go in and report then.”
Contrary to the Heavenly Patrol Guard’s expectations, Chen Yuan was exceptionally calm, without an overbearing demeanor forcing his way in; instead, he allowed the guard to enter and report.
As for the purpose, it was naturally to summon all the Golden Envoys and Vice Envoys during the reporting.
He was not one who liked trouble. It was best to control all situations directly today, sweeping away all dissident voices with thunderous force, saving the effort of intrigue later on, especially with potential issues involving the Beiliang Royal Mansion.
Once he fully controlled the situation, everything else would be much simpler. He still had the token from Gu Tianqiong, and was acting on orders, so it was likely the King of Beiliang wouldn’t have too strong a reaction.
Of course, even if there was, Chen Yuan wasn’t afraid now.
It could indeed be said he was somewhat arrogant, but he genuinely didn’t fear the King of Beiliang now, merely cautious. The power he held wasn’t inferior to a Yang Transformation True Monarch.
And besides his inherent nature, he was in a rush because he had more important matters to attend to; Senior Moluo had already told him his objectives.
This brought a sense of urgency, not wanting to linger too long in power struggles.
As for the two current Golden Envoys in Liangzhou, setting aside their individual backgrounds, regarding strength alone, he did not take them seriously.
With his Heavenly Core cultivation, Chen Yuan had this confidence now!
“Uh….”
Hearing this response suddenly, the Heavenly Patrol Guard was somewhat astonished, momentarily stunned. He had thought a master of Chen Yuan’s caliber wouldn’t pay heed to someone of his rank, but unexpectedly, he was quite amiable.
This is the mentality of subordinates facing superiors; sometimes, they magnify the latter’s every word and action infinitely.
“Go ahead.”
“Yes…yes… I will send someone at once, thank you, my lord.” The Heavenly Patrol Guard, having regained his composure, repeatedly thanked him, then turned to instruct several nearby individuals to promptly report Chen Yuan’s appointment.
With the notification by several Heavenly Patrol Guards, the entire Heavenly Patrol Bureau erupted instantly. Many had long known Chen Yuan would arrive soon, so they were always prepared.
Seemingly calm on the surface, it was actually like a stack of dry wood on the verge of ignition.
Feng Jiuying and Huangfu Qi were also informed swiftly, immediately issuing orders to their subordinates, then quickly changing into their Golden Envoy attires, ready to ‘receive’ this formidable Chen Golden Envoy in the Heavenly Patrol Hall.
As the news spread rapidly, it was not only the Heavenly Patrol Bureau that learned of Chen Yuan’s arrival in Liangzhou City; the Beiliang Royal Mansion was also swiftly informed.
However, Chen Yuan, standing in front of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, remained completely unaware of this, but unknown doesn’t mean he couldn’t guess, merely following suit.
The Heavenly Patrol Guards sent in to report took quite some time, causing the Heavenly Patrol Guard to break out in a cold sweat, cursing those guys internally for not hurrying.
If this Chen Golden Envoy became impatient, thinking he was intentionally slighted, even ten lives wouldn’t suffice for him!
The name Demon Blade Chen Yuan was known not only in the Central Plains; the martial artists of the North were equally aware, especially within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, many regarded Chen Yuan as an aspirational figure.
This Heavenly Patrol Guard had long heard of the name, knowing his ruthless nature—killing at the slightest provocation. By simply observing the cautious demeanor of the two Golden Envoys, one would know just how terrifying he was.
As the Heavenly Patrol Guard was worrying over Chen Yuan’s potential impatience, contemplating whether to directly escort him in, the Heavenly Patrol Guards who went in to report finally reappeared!
