"I must have been insane! That was the hope of our Shadow Clan! Only those of pure blood in the Shadow Clan can inherit the bloodline and awaken our clan's ultimate techniques, but I lost him!"

Elder Ming's eyes were moist, tears swirling in his sockets:

"I searched like a madman, but I couldn't find the young master. Instead, I encountered the equally crazed Elder You. Only after talking to him did I realize he had done the same thing, and also lost the young mistress!"

"We searched outside for ten years! We didn't dare to return to Unchanging Valley. We knew that if we returned like that, our clansmen would tear us apart! Because... the old ancestor hasn't stepped out of Medicine Valley since the great battle!"

At this point, Elder Ming broke down into tears!

"After ten years since the great battle, Elder Ming and Elder You, heartbroken, returned to Unchanging Valley and knelt in front of the then young clan leader, now the current Clan Leader Uncle, to plead guilty!"

Wu Qingshuang picked up the story: "Clan Leader Uncle didn't blame them, and it was at that time that we received a message, one from our comrades we knew of but dared not contact. They said they had encountered a girl carrying the pure bloodline of our Shadow Clan."

"After receiving the message, an emergency meeting was called within the clan, deciding on the personnel to go outside to protect the young mistress, because we didn't dare contact for fear that if one side was attacked, the other would also be implicated. Therefore, those we sent out could never return!"

"Then, while discussing within the clan, someone found Elder Ming had fainted in his bedroom!"

"Fainted?!" Jiang Chen exclaimed in surprise.

Wu Qingshuang turned her head to look at Elder Ming, who wiped away his tears and said with a sorrowful expression: "Upon hearing the news at that time, both Elder You and I wanted to go, but that damn Elder You, he actually attacked and knocked me out, that shameless bastard. He actually used his strength as a late-stage Semi Venerable to ambush me, a mid-stage Semi Venerable, truly a shameless bastard!"

"That old bastard knocked me out and left Unchanging Valley directly. Thus, the meeting in the clan ended just like that, and we could only wait for news from that side. However, not a word came back from Elder You since he left!"

"No news?!" Jiang Chen exclaimed again, suddenly turning his head toward Huo Huade.

Huo Huade smiled slightly: "When Elder You found us back then, I was still a child, and these were things I heard from the elders. Our branch had already integrated with the international community, with people from various countries inside our organization. It could be said that our branch had spread its leaves internationally."

"After Elder You arrived, he was furious, accusing us of tarnishing the bloodline of the Shadow Clan! Our ancestor admitted it was our fault, but without such actions, we couldn't have survived on the international stage."

"Later on, at the behest of the young mistress, Elder You's anger subsided, and he stayed with us alongside the young mistress. At the time, we wanted to send a message to Unchanging Valley, but unfortunately, the Fallen Angels combined forces with the Martial Dao World of the Flame Dragon Kingdom to attack us, so we didn't dare send out the message."

"People from the national Martial Dao World attacked you? Does that mean you've been exposed?" Elder Ming's expression changed as he exclaimed in alarm.

"This... we're not sure, and it's because we're unsure that we dared not contact you," Huo Huade shook his head gently.

"I think it's not that we've been exposed. I might know which domestic power it is!" At this moment, Jiang Chen spoke in a solemn voice.

Everyone was startled and turned to look at Jiang Chen.

With a serious face, Jiang Chen looked at Huo Huade: "Is it Youming Hall that attacked you?"

"Yes! Lord Xue, how did you know?" Huo Huade looked at Jiang Chen in shock and doubt.

"Don't call me Lord Xue. It's not the time yet!"

Jiang Chen cautioned, then proceeded solemnly, "The Fallen Angels are related to the Gene Organization, while Youming Hall is related to the Soul Devouring Group! Youming Hall must have been going to aid the Fallen Angels as the two organizations have a cooperative relationship."

"Soul Devouring Group?!" Elder Ming and the others exclaimed, their expressions changing sharply.

"As far as I know, the Gene Organization, Soul Devouring Group, and Dark Church all have connections, but whether these three are completely working together still needs to be verified!" Jiang Chen said with a troubled expression.

They all fell into silence, each one of these organizations was a calamity. If all three organizations were to join forces, that would indeed be troublesome!

After a moment, Huo Huade spoke up in a grave voice, "Mr... Jiang, I suspect they're gearing up for something significant, at least the Dark Church is!"

"Oh? How so?" Jiang Chen looked at Huo Huade, puzzled.

Solemnly, Huo Huade said, "The Fulang Family has specifically asked to collaborate with my Dark Night Angels, and since they belong to the Dark Church, they must be planning something big!"

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, thought for a moment, then said softly, "Huo Huade, find a way to pry out the collaboration details from the Fulang Family. Even if you have to feign agreement, see who they are targeting."

"Yes!" Huo Huade nodded in response.

"Let's leave that matter for now. I want to ask you all something; do you know of a technique called 'Omnipresent Flower Rain'?" Jiang Chen asked in a soft voice.

"Omnipresent Flower Rain?!"

"Mr... Jiang, how do you know of that technique? That's a unique skill of our Shadow Clan! It's a bloodline secret technique that only clan members with pure blood obtained through bloodline inheritance can master!" Elder Ming and the others were startled and called out, fixing their gaze directly on Jiang Chen.

"This... bloodline inheritance... Yes! That explains it!"

Jiang Chen smiled affirmingly, looking at Elder Ming, "Elder Ming, did you just say that only the young miss and the young master of your Shadow Clan possess the pure bloodline, right?"

"Right!" Elder Ming nodded vigorously, then realizing, said, "Mr. Jiang, did you learn of Omnipresent Flower Rain from the young miss, who is also the leader of Dark Night Angels, the Dark Night Queen?"

"No!" Jiang Chen shook his head gently.

"Not? Could it be someone asked you about this technique? Is someone targeting us?" Elder Ming frowned deeply, anxiously looking at Jiang Chen.

Huo Huade and Wu Qingshuang were also on edge, staring unblinkingly at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and shook his head again, "Neither. It was a brother of mine who used the technique; he said it was a move that popped into his head. Now it seems, it's indeed a bloodline inheritance!"

"What?!"

"Someone has used that move?!"

"Brother?! Could it be... is that person... the young master?!"

Elder Ming and the others were so excited that they stood up from the sofa, staring intently at Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Jiang, you're... you're not joking, are you?" Elder Ming asked nervously, his voice trembling.
