Chapter 1117: Chapter 587: Tangshan Buddha! True Blood of the Qilin! (Part 2)
Back in Tangshan, Chen Yuan returned without causing much disturbance, almost as if he slipped back without a sound.
The confrontation with Song Lun, the white-clothed scholar, at the Blood Sword Sect hadnât circulated either; otherwise, he believed the impact would be greater. Compared to Primordial Spirit Refining God True Master, a Yang God True Monarch showing up would have a very significant impact.
Especially amid the tense atmosphere in Blood State, with True Monarchs appearing from both Liangshan and Seven Killings Hall.
Returning to Seven Killings Hall, Chen Huaiyi settled the issue regarding the Primordial Crystal Mine for Chen Yuan. Now, Seven Killings Hallâs attention is focused on Liangshan, not paying much heed to a situation that isnât yet confirmed.
Liangshanâs situation remains unknown, but Chen Yuan could at least breathe a sigh of relief.
After returning to Tangshan, Chen Yuan met Liu Zhengsong and Du Ming once more, instructing them to proceed boldly with their tasks. Future resources wouldnât be fewer for them, nor would they impact the normal lives of Tangshanâs populace.
Having arranged everything, for the time being, Tangshan wouldnât be affected significantly, but Liangshan remains a major threat. Chen Yuan is not one to sit and wait for disaster to strike.
He prefers to take the initiative!
However, launching an attack on Spirit Mountain isnât a good option at the moment. Not only is Liangshan quite powerful, with two True Monarchs and several Yang Transformation experts stationed.
Unless the Taoist Divine Palace appears for a second time, it would be hard to solve this matter perfectly.
Moreover, behind Liangshan is the Xiang Family.
This is unfathomable, holding strength greater than the Immortal Sect; it wonât be simple. Without discussing others, just Xiang Qianqiu isnât straightforward.
The fact that Chen Huaiyi fears him indicates strength at least in the top ten of the Supreme List.
Or even stronger!
Chen Huaiyi evaluates him high-minded, strategic, daring to attempt to restore a nation, certainly not simple, requiring a surge in strength.
Being able to challenge Refining God isnât enough; only when he can rely on his own power to face a True Monarch without falling behind can he secure a place.
But all of this is just thinking too much. Heâs just newly achieved Primordial Spirit Perfection, barely stabilized his realm, and itâll be risky to rashly trigger the Wind and Fire Second Tribulations.
The Refining God Tribulation isnât stagnant, and itâs determined by the martial artistâs own Primordial Spirit. With Chen Yuan far surpassing martial artists of the same realm, naturally, the Wind and Fire Second Tribulations he triggers will be stronger.
Chen Yuan spent another day in Tangshan, alongside Lady Xu smoking a few times, stopping only when the nicotine rush blurred his vision and made him dizzy.
Several cigarettes were smoked, hopefully allowing Lady Xu to curb her smoking addiction for a while.
During the Saintâs time, Chen Yuan also entrusted Lady Xu with inviting Shen Yanshu and Yu Qingyan, without explaining specifics.
Lady Xu rolled her eyes, slightly sour:
âI knew it, Fairy Yu, with a beauty like a Heavenly Immortal, catching your eye and wonât escape?â
âYou donât understand. She and I have a close relationship, entrusted by others, loyal to others, we absolutely must care for her properly.â Due to Chen Huaiyiâs current situation, he didnât elaborate.
âAlright, go busy yourself, Iâll handle these matters concerning secondary wives for you.â
Lady Xu snorted lightly.
After God Control Gu was extracted, she grew closer to Chen Yuan. In the beginning, she definitely didnât dare show a jealous face.
Mostly gentle and virtuous, fearing Chen Yuanâs displeasure.
âNot secondary wives, Lady is thinking too much.â
âSecondary wives are fine too; your status is high, being a Marquis of the current dynasty. According to the rules, taking a few secondary wives is quite normal, but Iâve assisted you a lot.
I know my limit regarding the position of chief wife; I canât take it nor have the family background to help you, but⊠How about I take the second spot, helping the chief wife manage the internal affairs for you?â
Lady Xu looked at Chen Yuan with anticipation.
âRest assured, you wonât be treated unfairly.â
Chen Yuan gently stroked Lady Xuâs bright long hair, a faint smile curved on his lips.
Lady Xu indeed has done quite a bit of hard work, and age indeed stands as an appropriate second wife, but he views women equally, disliking assigning ranks within the household.
It inevitably feels awkward.
âAlright, then Iâll consider it your agreement.â
âHmm.â
âAlright, alright, go work, I know you still need to go to Shuzhou City to oversee major matters, Iâll keep an eye on the rest. If something is unmanageable, Iâll notify you with a Sound Transmission Talisman.â
Lady Xu chattered on and on.
âThank you for your hard work, Wenxiu.â
This is Lady Xuâs given name: Xu Wenxiu. Chen Yuan knew it when they first got together but had never called her by her name.
Always felt awkward, Lady felt smoother.
âNo matter the hard work, it isnât more than yours fighting outside, Marquis, youâre no longer alone now. With me, Sister Shen, Sister Zhang, and soon Sister Yu, plus so many in Tangshan Prefecture looking to you for survival.
Be sure to prioritize your life, when necessary; as long as life is preserved, everything else can be discussed.â
âRest assured, no one capable of killing me has been born yet under heaven.â Chen Yuan laughed heartily several times, soothing Lady Xu, then turned away.
Watching Chen Yuanâs confident stride away, Xu Wenxiu gazed for a long time, almost entranced.

Bidding farewell to Lady Xu, Chen Yuan didnât rush to Shu State, instead diving into the Tangshan Mountains, following his previous route to find the ten thousand Iron Cavalry hidden in the mountains.
