Chapter 1040: Chapter 561: A Person’s Shadow, a Tree’s Name Jiang Yun’s gaze froze on the talisman, his pupils instantly contracted, and he stood motionless on the spot. This thing he had seen before, it was… a Divine Talisman! “Presumptuous, how dare you speak to my young master .” Before Jiang Yun could say anything, a maid beside him scolded instead. A crisp slap sounded, and Jiang Yun slapped the maid to the ground, hurriedly bending down to say: “Please forgive me, miss. It’s my fault for being blind and not disciplining those around me properly. Please forgive me, miss….” The maid on the ground, whose face quickly swelled like a pig’s head, was stunned, looking incredulously at this scene. Jiang Yun gave her a glance. Someone with a Divine Talisman, he knew all too well what that represented. It was almost equivalent to having a powerful True Master of the Fifth Realm behind them. How could he dare to offend such a figure? Even if his father came, he would have to be cautious in front of a Divine Talisman. Although this woman in front of him didn’t seem to have high cultivation, she might not even be able to activate the Divine Talisman, but who knew if she didn’t have some Exotic Treasure? If he angered her and she attacked, he wouldn’t even have bone fragments left. He must not take any risks! Moreover, could someone who could casually take out a Divine Talisman for protection be an ordinary person? There might be a powerful force behind her. Although he was somewhat flirtatious, he always had a discerning nature, knowing whom he could provoke and whom it was a crime even to glance at. Zhang Wanshu looked down at Jiang Yun with a cold face. At this moment, Jiang Yun couldn’t care less about face and quickly agreed. A faint voice echoed in everyone’s ears, as Chen Yuan, clad in black, slowly walked out of the void, looking at the group of obsequious people, frowning. Had everything become this melodramatic just from being away for such a short while? Zhang Wanshu’s indifferent and cold demeanor quickly faded, she put away the Divine Talisman, hurriedly walked over to Chen Yuan’s side, and let out a long breath, seemingly a bit frightened. “You… you finally came, I almost wanted to call you.” Zhang Wanshu said coyly. Seeing Zhang Wanshu’s excellent acting, Chen Yuan almost laughed. If it weren’t for his Divine Thought covering the surroundings in advance, he might have believed it. To think that the always gentle and cold Second Sister Zhang actually had a bit of a manipulative side…. Tsk tsk, interesting. Since Zhang Wanshu didn’t seem to want to recover her previous cold demeanor, Chen Yuan didn’t expose it either, gently smoothing her slightly uneasy hand, he warmly asked: “Wanshu, what happened?” Zhang Wanshu briefly recounted the preceding events. The fearful look on Jiang Yun’s face also froze in place, where had that cold demeanor gone? How did it change so suddenly? If he hadn’t experienced it himself, he might have thought this gentle girl wasn’t the stern woman just now. Seeing Chen Yuan’s imposing gaze sweep over, Jiang Yun only felt a bit of a toothache. It was quite obvious that this man probably had an even more powerful background and terrifying cultivation. At least, with his Heavenly Gang Cultivation, he couldn’t see any flaws. Earlier he had been wary of this person, which was why he hadn’t dared to approach boldly. Sudden fear gripped his heart, he twitched the corners of his mouth, quickly bowed, and cupped his fists: “Please don’t be angry, brother. It was just a misunderstanding earlier. Jiang merely asked what the lady was looking for to see if he could help somehow. I never expected to displease the lady. It’s all my fault, please forgive me, brother.” Chen Yuan squinted his eyes, assessing the man in white before him. He was somewhat good-looking, but his cultivation was a bit wasted. Already over thirty, yet only at Gang Condensation level, and his entire aura was very weak. The typical look of a profligate young master. Having no interest to waste words with him, Chen Yuan, with a thought, the disrespectful maid instantly vanished into the void. If not for the pool of blood on the ground, no one would know she had ever existed. To the current Chen Yuan, this man in white and that maid were just ants, no better than grasshoppers. Jiang Yun looked at the maid who suddenly disappeared, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and quickly understood the horror of this man, lowering his head hastily: “Forgive me, brother, forgive me, my father is the Green Envoy of Lin’an Prefecture’s Heavenly Patrol Bureau….” He quickly announced his family background. Chen Yuan saw this, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and instantly sent a shot of powerful energy into this person’s body, saying calmly: “Using family background to press me?” This person wasn’t excessively arrogant, he had originally thought of giving him a small lesson and letting him go. But now… this young man really lacked discernment. “I don’t dare, I don’t dare, forgive me, brother. I really didn’t offend this lady earlier. I hope brother can be magnanimous and not pay attention to me.” “Go back and have your father come to see me.” As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuan spoke. “I am Heavenly Divine Envoy Chen Yuan of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, is there a problem?” Jiang Yun was momentarily stunned. The person is shadowed by their reputation! Recently, this name almost seemed to form calluses in his ears, he never expected that the legendary, fearsome Wu Anhou, renowned throughout Central State and the world, was this person. It’s over! A disaster! His heart tightened, as if he could already see the tragic situation that was to come. It was said that this Wu Anhou was ruthless, often destroying homes and exterminating families, once having the title of a God of Killing. Today he really left without consulting the almanac, it was simply… an utter disaster. Although he did not reveal an official token, Jiang Yun was almost completely convinced, dared not slack off in the slightest, now just hoping that the other could spare his life for not doing anything out of line.

Zhang Wanshu tugged at Chen Yuan’s sleeve, seemingly hoping he wouldn’t go too far, thinking the other was somewhat sensible. Otherwise, if he dared to say something inappropriate, she would’ve already had him obliterated with a Divine Talisman. Chen Yuan glanced at her, not speaking further. The group was blocked.
