"Yes."

Jiang Chen gently nodded, "I was providing elixirs to the Chixiao Sect and the Unchanging Valley."

Dong Tianchen immediately nodded and solemnly stated, "Our Dong Family, due to our aggressive sword techniques, often sustains injuries during training; therefore, we have more frequent contacts with the Elixir Valley. This time, people from Elixir Valley contacted us, wanted us to secretly investigate where Chixiao Sect and Unchanging Valley are getting their elixirs from!"

Old Master Tang's face changed, his expression darkening as he said, "This... it seems that Elixir Valley is not very generous!"

Jiang Chen, with a swift spin of his eyes, quickly spoke up, "Mr. Dong, please call Old Master Dong immediately, tell him to inform Elixir Valley that the elixirs for Chixiao Sect and Unchanging Valley are provided by me!"

"No! Mr. Jiang, what do you think of me, Dong Tianchen? How could I..." Dong Tianchen was taken aback for a moment, a feeling of being insulted rising in his heart!

"Mr. Dong!" Jiang Chen sternly called out, interrupting Dong Tianchen, "In a moment, when you get through to Old Master Dong, let me talk to him, you will understand after I've explained!"

Dong Tianchen, suspiciously glancing at Jiang Chen, frowned as he dialed Old Master Dong's number, then put the phone on speaker.

"Hello, Tianchen." The call quickly connected, the voice of Old Master Dong filled with slight confusion coming through.

"Old Master Dong, this is Jiang Chen. Are the people from Elixir Valley still with you?" Jiang Chen spoke softly.

"No, Mr. Jiang, I'm in the study, haven't gone back to respond to them yet, go ahead!" From the receiver came Old Master Dong's somewhat grave voice, keenly sensing that Jiang Chen's call must be related to what Dong Tianchen had instructed just before.

"Old Master Dong, when you go back to respond to the people from Elixir Valley, tell them directly that the elixirs for Chixiao Sect and Unchanging Valley are provided by me!" Jiang Chen stated in a deep voice.

"What?! Mr. Jiang, you provided the elixirs? No! You can't let the people from Elixir Valley know, they will surely trouble you!"

Suddenly from the receiver arose Old Master Dong's voice, surprised and anxious, "I understand now, Tianchen was worried about this. Don't worry, I will certainly cover this up!"

"No! Old Master Dong, do not cover it up! Listen to me!"

Jiang Chen urgently spoke, "The matter of me providing elixirs to Chixiao Sect and Unchanging Valley is almost known to everyone in Chixiao, people from Unchanging Valley rarely leave the valley, so those from Elixir Valley might not find them directly. However, Chixiao Sect is big and indisciplined, and it would be easy for Elixir Valley to trace it back to me."

"Since they approached you, no matter what their intent, use this matter to show them goodwill, and also to warn them on my behalf!"

"I see, in this case, telling them can make them trust our Dong Family more. This way, if they plan to take action against you, Mr. Jiang, we might also get wind of it."

From the receiver came Old Master Dong's understanding voice, which then turned hesitant, "Just that... warn..."

"Yes, warn them!"

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a domineering light, "I don't fear trouble, but I also don't like it. When you tell them, also inform them that I am the chief instructor of the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team, holding an Intermediate Rank Officer's title! If they still seek trouble knowing this, then I need not be considerate anymore, just do it!"

As he said this, he continued icily, "If they truly disregard my status, they must also disregard the nation. Such a sect, I need not be polite with them anymore!"

The assembly of old masters, upon hearing this, startled a bit, then looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment. Except for Old Master Tang, none knew that Jiang Chen was not only the chief instructor of Long Ya but also an Intermediate Rank Officer!

"Alright! I understand, I will go and respond to them now!"

Old Master Dong instantly understood Jiang Chen's intent and agreed.

Beep beep...

The call was disconnected. Old Master Tang looked at Jiang Chen with confusion, "Young Jiang, why didn't you let Dong tell the people of Elixir Valley that the Dragon Tooth elites you trained were recruited by the Flame Dragon Group?"

"No need!" Jiang Chen gently shook his head. "I just wanted to see what attitude Elixir Valley had towards the country; I wasn't looking to pressure them with power!"

With a sudden realization, Old Master Tang nodded, his eyes revealing a trace of admiration.

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now; let's discuss the matters related to the Blood Blade Sect and the Martial Arts Conference! As for the Elixir Valley's alchemy competition... there will definitely be representatives from all the major powers... wait a second!"

Jiang Chen waved his hand to bring the conversation back but suddenly thought of something and turned to Dong Tianchen, "Isn't it that all major powers send delegates to Elixir Valley's alchemy tournament, and those delegates are of significant status? Or is it directly the Family Head and the elders like the Old Masters who go?"

"Yes! Every time there is an alchemy contest in Elixir Valley, the Family Heads of all major powers personally attend," Dong Tianchen gently nodded, then asked with confusion, "What's wrong?"

"The Family Heads of each house who go to Elixir Valley, do they bring many guards?" Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice.

"Guards? Not many; Elixir Valley is absolutely safe, so we don't need to bring..." Dong Tianchen began confidently but then suddenly froze.

"Since that's the case, what if there's an attack during the Elixir Valley alchemy tournament? At that time, would Elixir Valley be the only one with top-tier fighters? And what if Elixir Valley too was..."

Jiang Chen said this and suddenly stopped speaking, his eyes showing a trace of horror.

A moment later, he spoke solemnly to himself, "If that really happens, then the Martial Dao World would truly be in great chaos!"

"This..."

"Impossible, right?"

"If it's really like that, it would be too terrifying!"

Old Master Tang and the others were not fools and roughly understood the meaning behind Jiang Chen's words, all exclaiming in shock.

Old Master Tang's brow furrowed tightly, and he suddenly became lost in thought.

"Old Master Tang, what have you thought of?" Jiang Chen turned to look at Old Master Tang.

Everyone's gaze turned towards Old Master Tang.

"Based on the information we've gathered, the Gene Organization, Soul Devouring Group, and Dark Church have already infiltrated Flame Dragon Kingdom. It's now clear that Youming Hall is controlled by Soul Devouring Group, Blood Blade Sect is under the Dark Church's control; however, there's not a single clue about the Gene Organization."

"Although they are quite unique, appearing no different from ordinary people when they don't manifest their power, according to the information, they were the first to infiltrate Flame Dragon Kingdom. We've also specifically investigated them domestically because their methods of gaining power are too inhumane. But still, we've found absolutely no clues!"

"At first, we thought they were just very well-hidden! But after Young Jiang's reminder, I suddenly realized that we've always overlooked Elixir Valley, an organization notable in name but extremely discreet in action!"

The more Old Master Tang spoke, the heavier his tone became.

After listening to Old Master Tang's words, the entire room fell into a dead silence.
