I Have A Qi Fortune Altar

Chapter 500: Rankings Soar, Jianghu Shaken! (Part 2)



He no longer held any hope for the position of Golden Envoy in Liangzhou.

He could only blame himself for offending the Princely Heir of Beiliang and then pretending to report to the Capital, hoping the court would put pressure on the King of Beiliang, but instead, he ended up worse off.

The higher-ups felt he was incompetent and directly appointed another Golden Envoy.

It was a mistake from the very beginning, leading to more mistakes...

After seeing off Huangfu Qi, the smile on Chen Yuan's face gradually faded, replaced by indifference.

...

...

The following days passed quickly. While Huangfu Qi and Feng Jiuying were recovering at home, Chen Yuan used this time to thoroughly understand their sphere of influence.

He employed a divide-and-conquer strategy to gather a group of people who pledged loyalty to him. Some might be opportunists, but he didn't care, as long as they followed his orders.

Both Huangfu Qi and Feng Jiuying were well aware of this.

Previously, they might have reacted, but after Chen Yuan painted a rosy picture for them, they simply watched it unfold.

After all, as a Golden Envoy, Chen Yuan was bound to take action.

No matter how intense it got, it didn't matter.

They felt that someone like Chen Yuan wouldn't stay long in Liangzhou; once he left, they believed they could advance through reporting to the right hands.

And all of this was exactly what Chen Yuan intended.

Meanwhile, during these days, what he did in Liangzhou also reached the Capital. After reading the intelligence report, Gu Tianqiong still felt that recognizing Chen Yuan was the right decision.

He felt the Emperor's vision was not wrong, and Chen Yuan's ability to handle matters was indeed commendable.

Although the credit partly belonged to his token, merely relying on the token was not enough for Chen Yuan to quickly establish himself. He even hoped to see Chen Yuan capture the remnants of the previous dynasty as soon as possible.

Then, after accumulating some experience, once his cultivation advanced to Yang Transformation, he would assign Chen Yuan as the Divine Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, which was also the Emperor's intention.

Gradually training Chen Yuan to become a sharp blade for the court, clearing some internal ailments and troubles in the surrounding states.

If his cultivation continued at this pace, they would keep intensifying his training.

If there was no progress, or if he stagnated, they would use him to quell some people's dissatisfaction with the court...

Apart from the court, due to that battle, Chen Yuan's name spread widely in the Jianghu, especially in the northern Jianghu, and martial artists from Bing State, Youzhou, and Liangzhou all knew of the notorious Chen Yuan who had made his name in the Jianghu.

And he didn't come quietly; in a single day, he swept through the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, defeating two Heavenly Core Golden Envoys in ten breaths. His momentum was indisputably soaring!

Initially, the impact of this matter was limited to the northern states, but due to Ascending Immortal Tower's involvement, Chen Yuan once again stirred up a tempest in the Jianghu.

After evaluation, Ascending Immortal Tower directly placed Chen Yuan sixth on the Fengyun List!

This rank was not low, even considered high.

Previously, Jiang He fought against Gu Chun, Elder of the Qingyun Sword Sect in Qingzhou, Sect Leader Xiao Yusheng, and the Yang Transformation avatar of Qingyunzi without being defeated, and was only ranked seventh.

The sixth rank on the Fengyun List created quite a stir, even considered massive. Every time there's a change in the front ranks of the Fengyun List, it attracts a lot of attention.

Especially when it comes to a figure like Chen Yuan who is already a topic of discussion.

The focus of attention was twofold: one, Chen Yuan leapt over more than a dozen ranks, and the other was his age.

Such rapid rank climbing was rare, but Chen Yuan kept doing it, almost as if he were crazy, making leaps every so often.

It left many people at a loss for words.

And considering Chen Yuan's current age, the fact that only half a year had passed since the last Ascension battle, in which Zuo Chengzong, once tied for first, barely reached the bottom of the Fengyun List until now.

This alone was enough to highlight Chen Yuan's terrifying prowess!

There were increasingly numerous tales within the Jianghu about Chen Yuan dominating the era.

Previously, he was praised by people like Zuo Chengzong, Wei Wuque, and Bai Changqing. Now, he was acknowledged by the vast majority, with some even speculating whether next time, Chen Yuan could directly take the top spot on the Fengyun List.

Pushing Qin Tianxi to the second spot!

This speculation seemed absurd, but surprisingly, quite a few people believed it.

The commotion it caused was something even Chen Yuan hadn't anticipated. He initially approached it with a usual mindset, believing it would only attract some attention.

He never expected it would trigger a chain reaction.

Dominating the era!

They really thought highly of him.

Even several Daoists from the Taoist Divine Palace reached out to Chen Yuan, congratulating him and inquiring about his recent situation, such as... when he had broken through to the Heavenly Core stage.

This was something Chen Yuan had never revealed.

It was the first time they learned of it, and they were truly shocked.

They even felt that Chen Yuan, this rising star, was not far from catching up or even surpassing them.

Each of them couldn't help but lament the fickleness of the world.

Chen Yuan was a demon even more monstrous than Jiang He.

In response, Jiang He came forward to say he knew long ago that Chen Yuan had broken through, prompting the other Daoists of the Taoist Divine Palace to make some playful remarks.

After the joking, the others inquired why Chen Yuan had been assigned to Liangzhou, asking if anything had happened. Chen Yuan had no choice but to recount the events that had transpired.
