Chapter 246: The Brave Marquis’ Mansion
three days later.

The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Lu Jiangyuan brought his men to the cell and opened the door.

"Chen Xian, His Majesty has ordered that the Divine and Brave Marquis Chen Xian, as the deputy director of the Fengtian Realm Demon Suppression General Office, disregarded the law and privately killed Prince Feng. Considering that there were reasons for the incident and that he had made contributions to the Great Ning, his merits and demerits offset each other, and his official position will be dismissed, but his title will be temporarily retained as a warning to others. I decree this!"

Lu Jiangyuan watched Chen Xian convey Emperor Ning's oral instructions.

Chen Xian turned over and got out of bed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lu Jiangyuan stepped forward and patted Chen Xian on the shoulder: "Marquis Shenyong, this situation is the greatest tolerance His Majesty has shown you. As the deputy director of the General Office of Demon Suppression, after some time, when the storm is over, His Majesty should be able to use you again. During this time, you should stay in the Marquis Shenyong's mansion honestly."

"Thank you, Lord Lu." Chen Xian nodded secretly.

At the gate of Fengtian Prison.

Tang Can and Xiahou Feng brought their people, while Chen Quan and Chen Rong were eagerly waiting in the carriage.

Not long after, Chen Xian walked out with Lu Jiangyuan and others.

"son!"

"elder brother!"

Chen Quan and Chen Rong got out of the car and rushed towards Chen Xian.

Seeing that his father and sister Chen Rong were doing well, Chen Xian felt relieved. He looked at Tang Can and Xia Houfeng and said, "Thank you very much!"

Tang Can felt a little embarrassed facing Chen Xian and didn't say anything.

Xiahou Feng smiled and said, "Let's go, Marquis Shenyong. This general and General Tang will welcome you and wash away the bad luck."

Chen Xian smiled and nodded, then looked at Tang Can again.

Tang Can blushed slightly and turned around to get on the carriage.

Chen Xian turned around and looked at Lu Jiangyuan.

Lu Jiangyuan said: "I will go to the Marquis' Mansion to visit the Marquis when I have time."

Chen Xian didn't say anything, just nodded and left with Xiahou Feng and others.

In the southern section of Fengtian Street, there is a grand mansion covering an area of ​​five kilometers, with a front hall, back hall, garden, martial arts training ground, etc., which is very impressive.

Chen Xian and others came back from the restaurant and stood at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. They saw that the gate was more than five meters high and there was a majestic white marble lion at the gate.

The Mansion of the Divine and Brave Marquis.

"It's really impressive!" Xiahou Feng said with a smile.

There is a standard area for a marquisate, usually around three square kilometers. However, Chen Xian's mansion covers an area of ​​five square kilometers, which is larger than any other mansion. This shows that he is highly regarded by Emperor Ning.

They all walked through the door together and entered the mansion. On the inside of the door stood rows of guards, each holding a spear and standing upright.

As Chen Xian walked in, everyone bowed in unison.

"See you Lord Marquis!"

Chen Xian looked around and strode forward.

The front hall is also the main hall. At the door of the main hall stood a middle-aged eunuch in purple clothes, followed by two young eunuchs. There were boxes of things in front of them.

The middle-aged eunuch opened the imperial edict and Chen Xian bowed to receive it.

The imperial edict commended Chen Xian for turning the tide and suppressing the demon tribe at Zhenyao Pass, and his unparalleled meritorious service. He was granted an estate of 100,000 households, 100,000 taels of gold, and was promised to the Seventeenth Princess as a consort, and the order was announced to the world.

Chen Xian received the imperial edict, which mentioned that the Seventeenth Princess was betrothed to him, but did not mention the time. He remembered that Emperor Ning said to give him three years.

It seems that Emperor Ning has changed his mind, perhaps because he is practicing the [Nine Transformations of Yang God]. His life or death is unpredictable, so he is temporarily tied up by Princess Seventeen.

When he really died in the future, the matter was dropped.

Chen Xian didn't care about this.

"Marquis Shenyong, one hundred thousand taels of gold, as well as jewels and jades. His Majesty has said that all the promises he made to you will be fulfilled one by one." The middle-aged eunuch said calmly, "Thank you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Xian bowed.

The middle-aged eunuch walked down the stone steps, came to Chen Xian and whispered, "Marquis Shenyong, His Majesty is kind and lenient to you, so you should just be a good marquis and don't cause any more trouble for His Majesty."

Chen Xian nodded calmly: "What's your name, father-in-law?"

The middle-aged eunuch's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "My family's surname is Hou."

"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Hou. Please report to His Majesty and tell him that the emperor's grace is great and Chen Xian will never let him down!" Chen Xian said.

Eunuch Hou nodded and left with the two young eunuchs.

Then two people came to Chen Xian. One was an old man in a black brocade robe, about fifty or sixty years old, with the cultivation level of Jade Sea Realm.

The other person was a young man in armor, who looked to be in his thirties, with the cultivation level of the Spirit Infant Realm, and a heavy sword on his waist.

"Greetings, My Lord!" The two men saluted Chen Xian.

Chen Xian looked at them, and the old man spoke first: "My Lord, this old servant, Chen Houde, is the housekeeper of the mansion. My Lord, please call me Old Chen."

"Your last name is Chen?" Chen Xian stared at Chen Houde.

Chen Houde nodded and smiled.

Chen Xian said: "Laode."

"Yes, my Lord."

Chen Houde nodded, turned around and quickly ordered the servants and maids in the mansion to support Chen Quan and Chen Rong.

As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit. Even though Chen Quan and Chen Rong did not have any official positions, because Chen Xian was a marquis, Chen Quan was called old man and Chen Rong was called young lady.

"My lord, I am Luo Anping, the chief guard of the Marquis's mansion. From now on, I will obey your orders." The armored man said respectfully.

"Spiritual Infant is a minor success!"

Chen Xian nodded secretly, this level of cultivation was enough for him to be the chief guard of the compound.

"How many guards are there?"

"My lord, three hundred people!" Luo Anping answered respectfully.

Chen Xian didn't say anything. He turned around and looked at the boxes of gold, jewelry and jade, and asked Luo Anping to order people to carry them away.

He turned around to take a look at the imposing main hall, then turned back to Tang Can and Xiahou Feng and said, "Generals, please come in."

Xiahou Feng smiled and said, "The Manor of the Marquis of Divine Courage, I must take a good look at it."

Tang Can followed him into the main hall. Chen Xian walked in last, looking at the furnishings in the main hall and nodded with satisfaction.

From now on, this will be Chen Xian’s residence.

Afterwards, Chen Xian took Tang Can and Xiahou Feng to wander around the mansion. After the two left, life returned to normal.

The seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

Wang Yancai made time to look for Chen Xian.

Chen Xian did not ask Wang Yan about the affairs of the Demon Suppression Headquarters. He did not meddle in matters that were not his business. Now he just wanted to be a brave marquis and find the third elder of the Killing Heaven Pavilion, Yin Laoliu.

He has already told Tang Can and Xiahou Feng to help him keep an eye on this man. As long as there is any news, just inform him and he will go and kill Yin Laoliu personally.

As Wang Yan left, he whispered, "Brother Xian, the demon problem has been suppressed, but the abnormal movements in the Black Abyss are getting more serious, and the remnants of the Black Corpse Sect are still causing chaos. Currently, the Demon Suppression Division is mainly investigating these two areas."

Chen Xian had a blank expression on his face. "Have you found Yu Fenglin of the Yu family?"

Wang Yan shook his head: "I can't find him alive, and I can't find his body dead."

Chen Xian didn't ask any more questions and waved to Wang Yan.

He remembered that Yu Fenglin had two fragments of the "Immortal Tomb" map in his hand, and Emperor Ning had previously inserted a note in [Nine Transformations of Yang God], asking him to find the Immortal Tomb and pay attention to the movements of the Black Abyss.

Now that he no longer holds an official position, he can pay close attention to these two matters.

"The Yu family has at least two copies of the Immortal Tomb Map. They are also looking for the Immortal Tomb. Let them help us find it." Chen Xian murmured.

The Yu family sent people to assassinate him, and Chen Xian had no intention of settling accounts with the Yu family for the time being.

Anyway, Yu Chengfeng's soul is sealed in the big Buddhist beads. When the time comes, it won't be too late to settle accounts with the Yu family.

There are three things that are most important to him at the moment.

One is to repair the soul body and make oneself stronger.

The second is to find Yin Laoliu, kill him, and find out the murderer behind the scenes.

The third is to enter the Black Abyss to check the situation and practice the [Huang Ding Sutra].

As for killing Gu Qingyang, although he had promised the Pharmacist King, he still had thirty years to prepare, so there was no rush.

Dealing with the Yu family can also be delayed and wait for the opportunity.

That night.

Chen Xian left the Marquis' Mansion. He was dressed in blue without any mask, and only had a Xuanlong Sword on his waist.

Outside the black abyss.

Chen Xian stood on a mountain peak, staring at the rolling evil magic power. It felt more serious than when he rescued his father and sister before.

“How big of a demon is sealed in the center? How can its evil magic cover such a large area?” He looked solemn.

If the seal is broken and the evil comes out, who in this world can stop it?

"A strong person in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm?" He murmured, not knowing whether there was a strong person in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm in the world today?
He immediately rushed into the abyss.

Thousands of miles away, demons are roaring.

Chen Xian's speed was not affected, and he could travel a hundred miles at a time. The viewing range of his spiritual eyes was also increased from thirty miles to a hundred miles, and his perception was within a range of three hundred miles.

The feeling of someone watching me from behind is still there.

He couldn't see who was watching him from behind, and originally wanted to use the divine eye talisman given to him by the drunkard, but then he gave up.

Chen Xian drove away the surrounding demons and looked for a place to hide. He sat cross-legged and used up his experience to condense his wild power.

[After a hundred years of hard training, you have mastered the skills of the Desolate Cauldron Sutra, and the Great Cauldron was born]

[After three hundred years of hard training, you have mastered the skills of the Desolate Cauldron Sutra, and the Great Cauldron has become more condensed and heavy.]

The experience points were consumed bit by bit, and when 1000 points of experience points were consumed, the magic power in Chen Xianyu's sea became restless.

He couldn't help but stop.

It must be said that the movement of the Black Abyss was of great help to him in practicing the [Wild Cauldron Sutra]. Seeing that the Wild Cauldron Sutra was about to condense the second Wild Cauldron, the magic power surged, otherwise he would have condensed the second Wild Cauldron in one breath and got started with the technique.

[Experience: 21653 points]

After taking a look at the experience, Chen Xian put away the panel and scanned the surrounding demons and ferocious beasts with his spiritual eyes.

After a moment, he stood up and walked out of the cave, unsheathed the Xuanlong sword in his hand, and flashed away.

It was almost dawn when Chen Xian left the Black Abyss.

After a night, the only gain was a breakthrough in the Huangding Sutra. As for the unusual movements in the Black Abyss, he didn't dare to go deeper and could only wait until his cultivation became stronger.

Return to Feng Tianjing Marquis Mansion.

Chen Xian first rested for two hours. Seeing that his father and sister were well taken care of by the maids in the mansion, he felt relieved.

in the room.

Chen Xian took out the big Buddhist beads and released Qin Wushuang who was sealed inside.

The evil aura on Qin Wushuang's body weakened a lot, and his hostility also dissipated a lot. However, he still didn't look happy when he saw Chen Xian.

"Tell me, what is sealed in the Black Abyss?" he asked Qin Wushuang.

Qin Wushuang was very violent before, but now he is suppressed by the sealed power in the big Buddha beads and his violence is much less.

"do not know!"

Qin Wushuang answered very straightforwardly.

Chen Xian's eyes flickered slightly, "I don't know what use it is to keep you here?"

The Qingchuan County Prince's family has done countless evil things, and the Demon Suppression Bureau will investigate them one by one.

When he sealed Qin Wushuang, he was thinking that Qin Wushuang was not a spirit body, but a soul body that had cultivated to a certain level. He should be called a ghost and had the strength of a ghost king.

To be able to reach this level, one must have stayed in the Abyss for quite some time, and perhaps he knows some secrets.

That's why he kept Qin Wushuang.

He had asked Qin Wushuang before, but Qin Wushuang was very angry and resentful at the time and refused to talk.

Now that the hostility has subsided and the resentment has gradually disappeared, I have unblocked the message and asked more questions.

Chen Xian grabbed Qin Wushuang's neck with his big hand, lightning and fire surged on his palm, and Qin Wushuang let out a painful scream.
