"Hu Zi, even if you beat me to death later, let me see the Young Master!"

"Hu Ge, please open the door and let us meet the Young Master!"

The pleading voices of Xuan Long and An Long rang out at the door.

"Haven't you both already reached the Venerable Realm, mighty warriors? Can a mere door stop you? Show me the prestige of Venerables and break in through the door," Yan Hu sneered as he shouted out.

The outside fell silent instantly!

Buzz! Buzz!

Suddenly, two powerful auras burst forth, fleeting in an instant.

Thump! Thump!

Two muffled sounds came from outside the door.

Everyone was stunned for a moment before turning their heads in unison to look at Yan Hu.

Yan Hu spoke coldly, "They should kneel and ask for forgiveness!"

The crowd realized that Xuan Long and An Long had been emitting their aura to sense Jiang Chen's condition and must have sensed something significant, as they were now kneeling at the door.

"Hu Zi, don't blame them, they also didn't know that Young Jiang needed the Polyporus Barrier Breaking Elixir to save his life!" Medicine Saint patted Yan Hu's shoulder and gestured to Lou Qiangqiang.

Lou Qiangqiang turned around, pretending to go open the door.

"I, I'll open it!" An anxious voice rang out. Lin Meng, who had been quietly staying in a corner, not daring to make a move, hurriedly ran to the door. His injuries had already been healed by the Supreme Hu Sha through Medicine Saint's intervention. Knowing that Yan Hu and the others were displeased with him, he had been behaving himself, fearing that provoking Lou Qiangqiang might lead to another beating—a fate he would have to endure!

Click!

The door opened, and Lin Meng was stunned on the spot. When Yan Hu said that the Xuan Long pair should kneel and ask for forgiveness, he hadn't taken it seriously. How could two Venerable Realm powerful figures possibly kneel?

But after opening the door, the scene before him instantly slapped him in the face!

At the door, the Xuan Long pair knelt on the ground, faces filled with shame and regret. Inside the courtyard, Li Wuji and the others were all shocked as they looked at the kneeling pair.

At this moment, Lin Meng and Li Wuji, along with the others, were thoroughly shaken!

The Xuan Long pair were in the Venerable Realm!

Yet, because of an unintentional mistake, they were kneeling at the door—that was a mark of reverence!

Lin Meng's heart was shocked beyond measure, while the last bit of martial artist's sense of superiority that Li Wuji and the others harbored was utterly gone in an instant.

Looking at the kneeling Xuan Long pair, everyone felt that being Jiang Chen's brother was far more valuable than being a martial artist. If one could not follow Jiang Chen, being a Venerable had no meaning at all!

"Two, you two..." Lin Meng hastily moved aside, fearing that standing in the direction where Xuan Long pair was kneeling would anger them, stumbling over his words without being able to speak properly!

"Hmph!" A cold snort sounded. Yan Hu came to the door, staring coldly at the Xuan Long pair, raised his hand pointing towards the direction of the main bedroom, and said sharply, "Have the two venerable sirs lost their sense of direction?"

The Xuan Long pair was momentarily stunned, then stood up and walked towards the greenery area beside the villa.

Thump!

Thump!

Arriving outside the wall facing Jiang Chen's bedroom, Xuan Long and another person knelt down again.

This area was a green belt, and the two knelt at a corner of the wall. If one didn't walk around to the back of the green belt, they wouldn't be able to see the two even from the villa's entrance. Moreover, after practicing the cultivation techniques modified by Jiang Chen, even Yan Hu couldn't detect them. Among everyone, only Supreme Hu Sha could slightly sense their presence.

Yan Hu glanced at the green belt, then turned with an ashen face towards the hall.

"Hu Zi, how is the Young Master now?" Xuan Long asked in a low voice.

Yan Hu paused his steps, falling silent.

"Young Jiang's external wounds are no longer a concern, but... it all depends on whether he can induce the operation of his inner qi. If successful, his injuries would no longer be of concern. If not... I fear he does not have much time left!" The Medicine Saint arrived at the entrance, briefly glanced at the green belt, and spoke softly.

Everyone's heart shook in unison, their eyes turning towards the direction of Jiang Chen's bedroom.

"Wuwuwu... Big brother... you must get better!" Fu Ling'er was the first to break down, burying herself in Lou Qiangqiang's embrace and sobbing loudly.

Under normal circumstances, Lou Qiangqiang would have been delighted to hold Fu Ling'er in his arms. Now, however, his eyes were also moist, as he gently patted Fu Ling'er's back, while staunchly holding back his own tears.

"Who is the opponent?" Xuan Long glanced towards Jiang Chen's bedroom and asked with a heavy tone.

"It's the bastards from the Gene Organization! Those damn bastards!" Lou Qiangqiang spoke through gritted teeth.

A cold light flashed through Xuan Long's eyes as he pulled out his phone and began dialing.

Hearing the sound of the keypad, Yan Hu let out a cold laugh, "What? The Young Master isn't dead yet, only comatose, and you think Flame Dragon is yours to command now? Are you trying to alter the Young Master's orders?"

The sound of the keypad in the green belt stopped abruptly. Xuan Long's mouth parted, but he said no word in defense, instead silently putting his phone away.

"Converting Flame Dragon from overt to covert operations is something the Young Master surely has planned for. If you disrupt his plans, I might not be able to beat you, but I will bite you to death!" Yan Hu's cold voice rang out as he turned back to the villa.

The crowd was momentarily stunned, and then instantly understood.

In Yan Hu's mind, the concept of Jiang Chen not waking up didn't exist. In other words, he had never thought about nor dared to consider that possibility. Everything was to be done as if Jiang Chen were still conscious!

"Hu Zi's thoughts are correct. If news of Young Jiang's current state were to spread, it would likely cause disruption. It's not just Flame Dragon that would be affected; the country's internal situation would be thrown into chaos too. Don't forget, his friends are currently busy carrying out his instructions."

The Medicine Saint nodded softly in agreement with Yan Hu's statement, "Just today, Hu Zi had him take several calls. He kept claiming that Young Jiang was in seclusion, telling them to proceed with their own judgment. If they knew about Young Jiang's condition, would they still act the same? They have placed all their bets on Young Jiang!"

"You are right, Young Jiang's situation must not become known to the outside world."

Supreme Hu Sha nodded and turned to glance at Li Wuji and the others in the courtyard, speaking softly, "You all go and do what you need to do. Don't linger here. With me here, no one will be able to harm Young Jiang."

Li Wuji and the others glanced at Supreme Hu Sha, then turned to continue their protection efforts without paying him any heed.

Supreme Hu Sha was taken aback, a twitch forming at the corner of his eye and a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

Used to giving orders as Flame Dragon, he had carelessly assumed the role of the decision-maker, forgetting that this was Dingyun Lake Villa and these people were not his subordinates.

But after all, I am a peak Venerable Realm power; can't they show a little respect?

"Supreme Hu Sha, it's not just you. Even I can't command them in the current situation!"

The Medicine Saint explained softly, looking up towards Jiang Chen's bedroom and said in a low voice, "With that kid unconscious, under these circumstances, the ones who could command them..."
