Chapter 456: Chapter 361: Old man, whether you want to say it or not (Requesting monthly ticket)

"A Human Demon appeared in the county. I’ve come to ask the elder if you’ve seen anything!"

Chen Yuan said this without looking at the Fang Family Ancestor, his tone casual.

He just lowered his head, picked up the teapot on the low table, poured water, swirled the cup, skimmed the foam, and finally lifted the teacup to smell the aroma, blew on it, and took a sip.

Upon hearing this, the Yan Land Three Heroes, intending to remain outsiders and stay out of it, couldn’t help but glance sideways.

A Human Demon in this small place?

And noticed by this Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, there must be something more to it.

The three thought to themselves but saw that the Fang Family Ancestor’s expression remained unchanged. He just shook his head, his sparse white eyebrows drooping slightly, "I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, Ninth Mountain’s Colonel. This old man has not seen anything!"

As he spoke, he coughed,

"Cough, cough, if it weren’t for this old man discovering the matter with the Demon Gu and notifying that little girl, you might not even know to come looking for this old man."

This old fox not only hid some things but also subtly suggested that you should thank him.

Chen Yuan let out an "oh," put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Fang Shiqing meaningfully, and said, "Is that so? Then, Mr. Fang, please take a closer look and see if you know who this person is?"

With that, Chen Yuan flipped his hand, and a green-gold light burst forth from his palm.

Chen Yuan tossed it into the middle of the table, and a small green-gold tower expanded with the wind, stopping only when it reached the three-zhang high ceiling.

As the Demon Suppression Tower appeared, a haunting scream filled the room.

The eyes of everyone present focused intently on the Demon Suppression Tower.

Clearly visible, on the fifth layer of the nine-layer small tower, a shrunken Primordial Spirit was pierced through with golden chains, golden lightning flashing madly, lashing at the Primordial Spirit, while inside, a group of demons ran amok, frenziedly biting at this Primordial Spirit, causing it to scream in agony, the light of the Primordial Spirit dimming, close to collapse.

It was none other than the Li Family’s Martial Storage, Li Boya, whom Chen Yuan had tortured relentlessly!

Seeing this man’s Primordial Spirit, the Fang Family Ancestor, sitting at the head and excellent at maintaining his composure, couldn’t help but arch his eyes slightly, his pupils flickering.

But he quickly realized his expression had slipped, and indeed, he felt that gaze suddenly become piercing.

What a sharp young man!

He snorted coldly in his heart, his expression quickly returning to normal.

And sure enough, Chen Yuan’s voice, filled with intent, followed closely,

"Does Mr. Fang seem to know this person?"

"This person conspired with the Human Demon, intending to overthrow Qingshan. I captured him, imprisoned him in the Demon Suppression Tower for soul extraction and refinement, so he would never rise again."

Chen Yuan stared intently at Fang Shiqing, baring his white teeth in a fierce smile.

This smile, however, was chilling, with a hint of threat, causing the nearby Yan Land Three Heroes to involuntarily twitch their eyelids.

Seeing Li Family’s Martial Storage’s fate, the three felt a chill down their spines.

This Ninth Mountain’s Colonel is indeed fearless, filled with a sinister aura. Unlike those hypocrites in the Worldly Society who always speak of justice and righteousness, he does not care about being labeled a Demon Path affiliate when using cruel means. If you offend him and get captured, who knows how miserable your end will be.

The Fang Family Ancestor understood the warning in Chen Yuan’s words, his face like withered bark sagging, appearing somewhat dark, "What do you mean by this, Ninth Mountain’s Colonel? Are you suspecting this old man?"

At the same time, an invisible force emanated from his shriveled body, deep as an abyss, enveloping him like a lurking prehistoric beast.

Facing the opposing torrent of force, Chen Yuan’s smile remained, "Mr. Fang should understand what I mean. If I didn’t have any information, I wouldn’t come to you."

Chen Shen’s pale gold eyes were fixed on him; he was testing this old man.

He didn’t know if they had seen it or were in league together.

But in such situations, it’s better to err on the side of caution and pursue every possibility.

Seeing the Fang Family Ancestor’s face droop further, Chen Yuan continued calmly,

"If you know and don’t report, that is colluding with the Human Demon, betraying people..."

Though his tone was mild, it was aggressive.

The Yan Land Three Heroes next to them figured out the taste; this Ninth Mountain’s Colonel came not to request, but to interrogate "prisoners," even facing this Half-step Dragon and Tiger, with an overwhelming aura, unchanged in expression, pressing step by step.

This made the three of them squirm slightly, feeling like sitting on pins and needles.

They had just advised the Fang Family Ancestor not to provoke this Ninth Mountain’s Colonel easily, only to realize they were overthinking it!

He came to provoke them proactively.

"Enough!"

A gloomy voice suddenly rang out.

The Fang Family Ancestor’s face darkened, interrupting Chen Yuan, then his small eyes shot out an intimidating light, his tone hoarse and filled with hidden rage,

"Chen Yuan, if it weren’t for the admiration my nephews have for you, this old man may not have been willing to meet you today. Although I don’t know what exactly happened at Tianxiong Pass, you, a mere junior, dare to be so rude. Don’t you think I, with one foot already in the grave, wouldn’t dare act?"

The atmosphere was instantly tense.

The hair at the Fang Family Ancestor’s temples fluttered, his gaze frightening, ready to turn hostile at any moment.

And the attendant beside him, a frown on his face, fingers clenched in his sleeve.

Outside the room, numerous forces gathered, as if eight hundred executioners were waiting at the door, just waiting for a signal from inside the room.

"Elder!"

Jade Qilin of Jinyu Mountain’s face changed, stood up to speak.

The Fang Family Ancestor’s eyes turned cold, glancing at this fellow, couldn’t help but feel a bit angry. Why are you only advising against me and not that aggressive Ninth Mountain’s Colonel?

At this moment, Chen Yuan faced the surging pressure, his clothes flapping, the low table in front of him shook violently as if about to shatter, yet he slowly raised his hand, removed the hat from his head, and placed it on the table.

The table instantly stopped shaking, the turbulent air pressure dissipated, and his green clothes magically transformed into silver armor enveloping him.

Chen Yuan’s aura rose, and golden light flashed in his eyes like the trembling pupils of a fierce beast.

"Earlier, I was speaking with Mr. Fang as Chen Yuan."

"Now, I am speaking as the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel and the Commander of the Southern Demon Battlefield. This demon threatens Shu, and no matter what, I will find and slaughter this beast. I ask once more, has the elder seen the Human Demon?"

Chen Yuan cared not about completely enraging this Fang Family Ancestor; he only wanted to find clues, capture the hidden Human Demon stirring up turmoil, and annihilate it to eliminate future troubles.

The battle of Tianxiong Pass brought him great gains and a clearer understanding of his strength.

Half-step Dragon and Tiger, he was unafraid of a fight!

Moreover, he had many trump cards.

In the Teapot Heaven Space, the Northern Sea Dragon Girl of the Dragon Breeding Clan was recuperating, not weaker than a Half-step Dragon and Tiger.

And as his words fell, the previously sealed and restricted Qingshan Inn trembled, the earth shook, and an overwhelming aura from underground surged, breaking all these prohibitions.

People outside exclaimed.

Inside, the Fang Family Ancestor’s eyelid twitched, his body’s raging aura seemed startled, retracting completely.

The tense atmosphere vanished into thin air.

The mysterious force underground retracted as well, as if nothing had happened.

Chen Yuan, clad in silver armor, looked at Fang Shiqing intently, while the Fang Family Ancestor’s upright back slowly bent, the daunting light in his eyes quickly fading, showing a flash of doubt.

Then, his expression shifting unpredictably, weighing the pros and cons, this old fellow, still thinking of prolonging his life, feigned a sigh and spoke softly:

"Maybe I am truly old!"

"Indeed, I did have contact with that Human Demon!"

"It even left its mark!"

In an instant, Chen Yuan’s eyes flashed with brilliance.
