Chapter 271 - 271 250 A Far-reaching Reputation
?Chapter 271: Chapter 250: A Far-reaching Reputation! Chapter 271: Chapter 250: A Far-reaching Reputation! “Brother Yunlong flatters me,” Chen Yuan glanced at him:
“This time, taking action against the Dragon Tiger Sect, I owe much to Brother Yunlong for restraining Old Ghost Xu.”
If it had been just Chen Yuan this time, it wouldn’t have been possible to succeed so smoothly; without someone to restrain Xu Yongnian, Chen Yuan would have been in danger, attacked from both front and back.
And Tao Qingyuan was nowhere to be found, not even showing his face.
Before, he had suspected just like Shi Yunlong that Tao Qingyuan had been stringing them along from a distance, waiting to step in only when they could no longer hold on.
The Heavenly Patrol Green Envoy always had to have some prestige.
It also served to deter some people better.
“Lord Chen has played an extremely meritorious role; Shi is merely lending a hand at the scene.”
“With the downfall of the Dragon Tiger Sect, the Azure Flood Dragon Association won’t be far behind. By then, the entirety of Nanling Prefecture City will probably fall into Brother Yunlong’s hands.”
With that statement, Chen Yuan struck right at Shi Yunlong’s heartstrings, but he still played his cards close to his chest, repeatedly stating that everything was under the lead of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.
Clearly, he understood that by joining hands with the Heavenly Patrol Bureau against the Dragon Tiger Sect this time, he essentially cut himself off from the rest of Nanling River’s society; other forces would probably not associate with him any longer.
Changle Gang could only rely on the imperial court from now on.
Of course, Shi Yunlong had actually anticipated this situation beforehand and, after weighing his options, felt that this was a good opportunity for Changle Gang. He wasn’t sure if, had he previously refused Tao Qingyuan’s invitation, Changle Gang would have been the first to fall?
This was an invalid hypothetical, but he had indeed thought about it.
Having come to understand this point, Shi Yunlong actually started to suck up to Chen Yuan a bit, which was why he had been so cooperative beforehand, not hesitating to hand over all command to Chen Yuan.
The goal was to curry favor with the prodigy Chen Yuan; it was just a pity he hadn’t expected Chen Yuan to be so devious, using him as a human shield. If he hadn’t been able to withstand that sword strike, or if he had been left with only a breath of life remaining, perhaps Chen Yuan would have swiftly dealt with him.
To completely eradicate the force of Changle Gang.
