"How... how do they have such strong strength! How is it possible!"
A moment later, Mu Lisi's eyebrows tightly knitted together as he muttered to himself in a low voice.
Although his voice was low, everyone could tell that he did not trust what Jiang Chen had just said.
Ralph also furrowed his brows deeply, looking at Jiang Chen with a suspicious expression, "Mr. Jiang, are you sure? What is the strength of the person you sent to scout? Could he really sense a Peak Semi Venerable Venerable without being detected by others?"
"Vice Leader Ralph, are you questioning the message my brother risked his life to bring back?" Jiang Chen looked at Ralph coldly.
"Mr. Jiang, to find out the strength of a Peak Semi Venerable Venerable, it must have been done by someone at least in the Late Stage Semi Venerable Venerable level, but also someone who couldn't be detected by the other side—you're not telling me your brother is a Venerable, are you?" Ralph looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Jiang Chen coldly smiled, "You are in the Mid Stage Semi Venerable Venerable, did you detect my true power? Don't flaunt your ignorance here!"
Ralph's face changed, anger appeared on his cheeks, but he forcefully suppressed it.
"Mr. Jiang, is your friend also an Ancient Martial Artist?" Mu Lisi's eyes brightened as he stared directly at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen gently shook his head, "No, I just modified the Cultivation Technique he was practicing according to my own, allowing him to better conceal his aura."
Startled by the response, Mu Lisi exclaimed, "That's possible?"
"Why not? The Ancient Martial Arts Techniques of the Flame Dragon Kingdom are profound and vast; it's only about modifying someone else's Cultivation Technique to conceal their aura, what's so strange about it?" Jiang Chen smiled proudly.
Mu Lisi and the others exchanged glances, deep dread emerging in the depths of their eyes—not dread for Jiang Chen, but for the Flame Dragon Kingdom!
"As expected from the most ancient and mysterious nation!" Xi'er remarked emotionally.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly before his expression turned serious again, "Mr. Mu Lisi, there's only one chance, if you cannot mobilize more powerful warriors, I'm afraid we will have to cancel this operation!"
"This..." Mu Lisi's expression darkened, the opportunity was truly rare, and he was really unwilling to cancel it.
Just as Mu Lisi was pondering, Jiang Chen suddenly started, then turned his head abruptly.
What?
Jiang Chen's eyebrows were raised, and a fierce look flashed through the depths of his eyes as he glanced towards the entrance of the courtyard.
Over there, he sensed a subtle fluctuation.
This was... a Venerable Realm fluctuation!
"No need to cancel!"
Whoosh!
A shout sounded, and a man wearing Western armor appeared beside everyone.
Jiang Chen glanced at the man, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise.
The man had a ruddy complexion and a robust figure, appearing to be in his thirties, dressed in armor resembling that of a Western knight, which looked somewhat out of place.
"Leader Si Erfa?!" Mu Lisi and the others exclaimed in surprise, quickly getting up to salute the armored man.
Jiang Chen also stood up and bowed slightly to the man, not out of fear, but out of respect for a powerful figure.
"Everyone, please sit!" Si Erfa waved his hand and took Ralph's seat directly.
Everyone resettled into their seats, and Ralph could only stand beside Si Erfa.
"You are Jiang Chen?" Si Erfa fixed his gaze on Jiang Chen as soon as he sat down.
"Yes," Jiang Chen nodded gently.
"Excellent! Really excellent! Flame Dragon Kingdom! The mysterious and powerful Flame Dragon Kingdom always produces remarkably talented descendants!" Si Erfa scrutinized Jiang Chen carefully and sighed with admiration as he spoke.
Jiang Chen looked somewhat awkwardly at Si Erfa. This fellow seemed to be just over thirty, not much older than himself, yet he carried himself with an unnaturally old-fashioned demeanor, which was genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
"Ha ha! Once you break through the Barrier between Heaven and Man, you will understand. After breaking the barrier, one can maintain the same appearance as when the breakthrough occurred. Of course, one can also continue to age; it all depends on your will. Though I look young, I am already one hundred and sixty-five years old!" Si Erfa noticed the discomfort in Jiang Chen and burst out laughing.
Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned, then he nodded gently. He knew that practicing martial arts could prolong life. Being referred to as the Heavenly Human Realm, the Venerable Realm allowed one to maintain their breakthrough appearance. Although it was surprising, it wasn't unacceptable!
"Let me introduce myself. I am Si Erfa, Captain of the Guardian Knights, Mid-Stage in the Venerable Realm. This time, I've brought a group of Peak Semi-Venerables from the Guardian Knights; it should be sufficient!" Si Erfa said with a smile as he watched Jiang Chen.
Ralph and others were inwardly shocked, they did not expect Si Erfa to be so courteous to Jiang Chen and couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression on their faces.
However, Mu Lisi, Xi'er, Bu Langshi, Ha'er, and Fa'erxi, the five of them did not find it strange.
Apart from Si Erfa, only those who had dealt with Jiang Chen several times understood that Jiang Chen possessed unbeatable talents!
Swish Swish Swish!
As soon as Si Erfa finished speaking, a group of people leaped into the farmhouse courtyard.
Jiang Chen glanced over and slightly raised his eyebrows.
The arriving individuals were all formidable: one at the Peak of Semi Venerable Venerable Realm, five in the Late-Stage Semi Venerable Venerable Realm, ten in the Mid-Stage Semi Venerable Venerable Realm, and twenty in the Early Stage Semi Venerable Venerable Realm!
"Excellent!"
Feeling the strength of these people, Mu Lisi and others spoke up excitedly, very thrilled.
Only Jiang Chen was not happy.
He glanced at Mu Lisi, his eyes conveying a touch of worry.
"Mr. Jiang, what are you still worried about?" Si Erfa noticed Jiang Chen's troubled expression and asked, puzzled.
Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, then he said solemnly, "I don't want to dampen everyone's enthusiasm, but even though Captain Si Erfa has brought strong reinforcements, we must not become complacent. Let's not forget, the Dark Church and the Gene Organization are allies, and the experts from the Gene Organization are undetectable!"
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then their expressions became very serious.
Jiang Chen thought for a while, then took out his phone and made a call, "Hello, Elder Ming, can you prepare near the Fulang Family? You should join us in tonight's operation."
"Yes!" A respectful voice answered from the other end of the phone.
Alas!
Jiang Chen sighed deeply and then made another call, "Hello, A'Long, is there anyone from our side in Ross City?"
"Yes! Dark Thunder and An Bing are leading a mission in the Northern Confederation. They are staying in Ross City today," Xuan Long answered softly.
Jiang Chen asked, "Have they completed their mission?"
Xuan Long replied, "They have completed it."
Jiang Chen pondered for a while, then asked, "How capable are they?"
