I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 184 - 173 Opportunity Its Here

Chapter 184: Chapter 173 Opportunity! It’s Here!

Chapter 184 -173 Opportunity! It’s Here!

But the flash of green light disappeared so quickly that Miao Renfeng didn’t notice it at all.

“My lord!”

Walking up to the man in black, Miao Renfeng breathed a sigh of relief as the man did not cause him any trouble, and he cupped his fists towards Chen Yuan.

“Sit.”

Chen Yuan gestured to a seat beside him.

“Thank you.”

Miao Renfeng sat down somewhat stiffly, not daring to act presumptuously in front of Chen Yuan, completely unlike the formidable and protean lord that rumors in Jianghu made him out to be.

Chen Yuan had seen this man on the Heavenly Patrol Bureau’s wanted list, knowing that his movement technique was unparalleled, ordinary Gang Condensing Martial Artists couldn’t catch up to him, and for Reach Profound powerhouses to hunt down a petty Qi Absorption debauchee seemed somewhat beneath them.

That’s why he had been left to roam free until now.

Of course, Miao Renfeng was also very cautious; with every crime, he would change his appearance, even changing locations after each deed, catching people unawares.

“I must thank you for your assistance this time, My Lord, Miao will keep it in mind,” Miao Renfeng said softly.

“I’ve resolved your trouble, how do you plan to repay me?”

Chen Yuan glanced at Miao Renfeng, then shifted his gaze back to the campfire.

“My Lord can just say the word, as long as I can be of help, Miao will certainly not refuse…” Hearing this, Miao Renfeng immediately cupped his fists.

“I’m a bit curious about your method of concealing your Qi and the way you create human skin masks, why don’t you repay me with those?” Chen Yuan watched Miao Renfeng and asked.

Although it was a question, Chen Yuan’s tone left no room for doubt.

Miao Renfeng was indeed excellent at hiding his presence; if Chen Yuan hadn’t routinely opened his Heavenly Eye to scan the area, it was indeed possible that he could have missed Miao Renfeng, who was within arm’s reach.

And the fact that he had repeatedly escaped pursuit was largely thanks to this face-changing technique.

Now that the opportunity had presented itself, how could Chen Yuan possibly let it slip by?

“This…”

Miao Renfeng hesitated somewhat, not expecting this man to demand his greatest secrets right from the start—after all, it was these very things that had allowed him to elude capture thus far.

“What, is that not possible?”

Chen Yuan’s gaze swept calmly over Miao Renfeng.

“No… it’s not that. My lord wants it, and Miao would not dare to conceal it, but the Magic Technique for concealing one’s breath is incomplete, and one must practice from a young age to blend in with the surrounding environment.”

“It took Miao nearly twenty years of practice to reach this level.”

Seeing a hint of displeasure in Chen Yuan, Miao Renfeng quickly spilled everything.

“Oh? Is that so?”

Chen Yuan looked at him without speaking.

Miao Renfeng swallowed nervously, then quickly recited the Magic Technique.

Chen Yuan silently repeated it; without practicing it himself, he didn’t know if Miao Renfeng was holding anything back, but based on his knowledge, the likelihood was very small.

“And the method for the human skin mask?”

“To create it, you have to take a living person’s facial skin and…” Miao Renfeng listed a whole series of steps, causing Chen Yuan to frown.

The sheer idea of wearing a living person’s face mask made him feel uncomfortable, and the process was also so troublesome that it couldn’t be successfully completed in just a few days.

“Only after soaking it for seventy-nine days will it fit the face as if real, otherwise it can be easily detected,” Miao Renfeng explained to Chen Yuan.

“Do you have human skin masks already made? Give me a few…”

Creating such items was indeed troublesome, and Chen Yuan would rather have the finished product.

Miao Renfeng’s eyes lit up, and he nodded eagerly. As long as Chen Yuan did not want his unique skills, everything else was negotiable. Then Miao Renfeng took out a thin wooden box from his sleeve, presented it to Chen Yuan, and opened it.

Inside lay a human skin mask as thin as cicada wings.

“Please look, My Lord, this skin mask was the best one I’ve made recently, never having been used. It’s just perfect to match My Lord.”

Miao Renfeng smiled flatteringly.

Chen Yuan picked up the mask and looked closely; the mask was remarkably handsome, which made him think of the previous rumors about Miao Renfeng…

Because he was supposedly ugly, he particularly liked to target handsome men, then using their faces to seduce good families’ women.

Although small in stature, a handsome face could still dissolve many a woman’s resistance.

Now it seemed the rumors were true!

“With your bestowing of this item to Chen, and the earlier revealed Concealing Breath Secret Technique, our debts and grudges are clear. It’s not in vain that I saved you.”

Chen Yuan smiled.

“It turns out his surname is Chen! The powerful Chen of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau…” Miao Renfeng’s mind raced as he thought of the Patrol Envoys in the surrounding Prefecture Cities, and then his pupils suddenly narrowed:

“Could it be that My Lord is Chen Yuan, the Chen Patrol Envoy who made it onto the Hidden Dragon List and cut down Qingyun Sword Sect’s expelled follower Liu Changkong with a blade in Nanling Prefecture City?”

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a bit surprised:

“How so, have you heard of Chen’s reputation?”

“I have, I have, Envoy Chen is a prodigy on the Hidden Dragon List, with an unlimited future ahead. Who in the surrounding prefectures hasn’t heard of Envoy Chen’s great name?”

Miao Renfeng suddenly stood up and spoke.

“It’s all flattery…”

Chen Yuan waved his hand, dismissive.

The only surprise for him was that his reputation had even reached other prefectures.

Truly unexpected.

“Envoy Chen is too modest. Since ancient times, all who have made it onto the Hidden Dragon List have been exceptional figures…” Miao Renfeng smiled as he flattered, but he was also somewhat confused inside.

According to the rumors, Envoy Chen seemed only capable of matching a Condensing Evil Martial Artist, but judging from the terrifying power displayed earlier, it was likely not that simple.

Xuan Ci, as a Martial Monk from Gold Mountain Monastery, was already exceptional in strength.

Yet he didn’t last ten breaths in Chen Yuan’s hands, and it couldn’t even be called a fight, more a complete overbearance.

Miao Renfeng didn’t know whether Chen Yuan had been hiding his strength before or had made a recent breakthrough.

If it was the former, it wouldn’t be too shocking, but if it was the latter, it would be downright terrifying.

According to the news disclosed by the Ascending Immortal Tower, Chen Yuan was only twenty-one years old!

Such strength at such a young age was definitely no weaker than the disciples of the top sects in Jianghu.

“Why are the people from Qingyun Sword Sect trying to kill you?”

Chen Yuan asked in a calm and unhurried manner.

Logically speaking, someone like Miao Renfeng, a debaucher, would only be hunted down with full effort by the government, rather than by the various sects of Jianghu, as it would be an ungrateful task for them.

After all, Miao Renfeng’s notoriety for being difficult to deal with was well-known.

Ordinary Gang Condensing Martial Artists would find it too difficult to capture him.

Hearing Chen Yuan’s question, Miao Renfeng said somewhat awkwardly,

“So that the Heavenly Patrol Envoy may know, these Qingyun Sword Sect people are trying to catch me to make a name for themselves, these self-claimed upright fellows value fame and fortune the most,

they want to gain a good reputation through Miao’s head, but… no matter how strong they are, they are ultimately not the match for the Heavenly Patrol Envoy.”

In the end, Miao Renfeng added another round of flattery.

“Just for that reason alone?”

Chen Yuan glanced at Miao Renfeng.

“Cough cough… Moreover, I inadvertently caused the pregnancy of a female disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect, and actually, Miao was ready to repent and start a new life, but they didn’t give me the chance.”

Miao Renfeng shook his head.

If he had a choice, he really wanted to shed the notoriety of being a debaucher, but even though he wanted to do so, the Qingyun Sword Sect didn’t see it that way.

They felt that Miao Renfeng was tarnishing the reputation of the Qingyun Sword Sect, and for this, they executed the female disciple along with the child in her womb, leaving the corpses exposed under the sun for three days.

Miao Renfeng wanted to retrieve the bodies, but unfortunately, he was not as skilled and was injured by Xuan Ci, which forced him to flee all the way to Nanling Prefecture.

Chen Yuan looked at the still sparking charcoal and said softly,

“Since you have chosen this path, don’t entertain any foolish hope of washing clean your crimes; once a debaucher, always a debaucher!”

“What the Heavenly Patrol Envoy says is true…”

Miao Renfeng echoed in agreement.

“Where do you plan to go next?”

Chen Yuan asked, somewhat curious.

Could it be he planned to continue his lascivious ways as a debaucher?

A serious look crossed Miao Renfeng’s face,

“I want to go to Blood State!”

“Blood State?”

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, he was no stranger to this state, knowing that Blood State was one of the largest and most resource-rich amongst the Great Jin Thirteen States, boasting many powerful individuals.

But the most notorious aspect of Blood State was its chaos.

It was a place where numerous forces of the Demon Dao lay hidden, and even the imperial court only had nominal control over it; the real power was not in its hands. The court had thought about reclaiming it, but every attempt had ended in failure.

The extremely chaotic situation had bred hardy warriors of Jianghu.

It was a paradise for government-wanted criminals and men of evil repute!

“Miao previously made a good friend who is now said to be a bandit in Liangshan within Blood State, a considerable leader. With his protection, I can avoid further pursuits for my life.”

Miao Renfeng laughed at himself cynically.

“Taking to the mountains to ‘join the righteous,’ isn’t that a capital crime of rebellion?”

“Having no way out, why not break through? The death of those Qingyun Sword Sect disciples will probably fall on me in the end. Staying in Qingzhou means only waiting for death.”

“No, no one will know of their deaths.”

Chen Yuan smiled, shaking his head.

Miao Renfeng did not understand the meaning of Chen Yuan’s words for a moment and asked,

“What do you mean by that, Heavenly Patrol Envoy?”

Chen Yuan did not answer Miao Renfeng’s question, but looked outside the dilapidated temple.

At this moment, the rain had stopped, and the wind had ceased!

Following Chen Yuan’s gaze, Miao Renfeng too looked outside the door, still confused, then he heard Chen Yuan’s murmur,

“The rain has stopped. It’s time to hit the road.”

“Be safe, Heavenly Patrol Envoy. Miao will always remember the kindness you’ve shown today, and if there’s anything you need in the future, feel free to command me…”

Chen Yuan stood up, twisted his neck, looked at Miao Renfeng with a smile, and said,

“Really?”

“Of course.”

Miao Renfeng was earnest.

Although his thoughts were apprehensive, his face still maintained a respectful expression.

“Chen saved your life, and you have repaid it with the Concealing Breath Secret Technique and the Human Skin Mask. There’s no talk of debt or gratitude, but Chen, as an officer of the government, has always been irreconcilable with gambling and drugs, do you understand?”

Miao Renfeng felt something was amiss within, swallowed hard, and moved his feet lightly, thinking to slip away, but at such close range escape was impossible.

Chen Yuan stepped in, a gust of cold wind accompanied his instant appearance in front of Miao Renfeng, grabbing his throat and saying indifferently: …
