Hum!

After a humming sound,

with a bang, the Divine Dragon directly pierced through the bodies of the two Greatest Emperors.

By the time it emerged from behind the two Greatest Emperors, the Divine Dragon's form had become much more ethereal.

Meanwhile, the two Greatest Emperors and Li Jiang shook all over as billows of dark mist emitted from their bodies!

"Ah!"

"How did it attack?!"

Witnessing this scene, Zai Lun and Pu Liang exclaimed in shock.

"Don't panic!"

Jiang Chen hurriedly instructed them, and upon activating it once more, he bellowed, "Divine Dragon, Soul Sever!"

"Ao!"

Bang!

With Jiang Chen's explosive shout, the Divine Dragon once again turned and pierced through the bodies of the two Greatest Emperors!

Back and forth like this, after three iterations, no more dark mist seeped from the two Greatest Emperors.

And the Divine Dragon also vanished without a trace!

Drip!

Jiang Chen landed in front of the two Greatest Emperors. Without taking the time to rest, he stared intently at them, his eyes betraying a hint of nervousness.

It seemed Zai Lun and the others understood something as well, for they too rushed to Jiang Chen's side and stared directly at the two Greatest Emperors.

They all focused on the same thing—their eyes.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A sudden silence fell upon the stone chamber, leaving only the tense breathing of the company.

Hum! Hum!

Two waves of soul vibrations spread from the bodies of the two Greatest Emperors and gradually dissipated.

Then, simultaneously, the two opened their eyes.

Everyone quickly focused to take a closer look.

They saw that the eyes of the two were clear, without any impurities; the whites and pupils starkly defined!

Gone was any trace of the Black Mist Serpent.

"It worked! It's a success! Hahaha..."

Jiang Chen exclaimed excitedly, waving his hand and bursting into a joyous laugh.

To be honest, he had been anxious himself. With his prowess at the peak of the Semi Venerable Realm, driving out that Saint Realm Black Mist Serpent was indeed a challenge.

But now, he had truly succeeded!

How could he not be thrilled?

"This..."

"Grandfather, have all of your Soul Devour seeds been removed?!"

"Ancestor Li, your eyes… have they recovered? The Soul Consciousness Wound from the Eight-Headed Serpent… has it been healed?!"

Zai Lun and the others were still exceptionally tense; they found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Haha! Haha..."

"A hundred years! It's been a hundred years!"

The two Greatest Emperors cried out excitedly, laughing and shedding tears of elation!

For a century, the two of them were trapped within a tiny cave and palace, suffering endless torment from the Soul Devour seed and the trauma to their Soul Consciousness. Today, they were finally freed!

"Mr. Jiang, thank you!"

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

The two former emperors both bowed deeply to Jiang Chen!

"Don't..." Jiang Chen, startled, quickly stepped back to help them up.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

The series of dull thuds rose as Zai Lun, Pu Liang, and the silent protector Li Tianchong all knelt down on the ground, giving Jiang Chen a respectful bow and spoke with heartfelt gratitude!

"No, no, no! Esteemed elders, please get up. I truly cannot accept such a grand gesture."

Jiang Chen hurriedly supported each of them, helping them get up one by one: "I merely triggered the reaction from the Soul Devour seed and the wounds to your Soul Consciousness. It was mainly due to the joint efforts of the elders. Please, stand up!"

"Young Jiang, stop being so modest!"

Supreme Long Huang was utterly joyous. Jiang Chen's actions today had firmly established his place in the Huangluo Clan.

From this moment on, even if one day Jiang Chen decided to confront the Flame Dragon Group, Supreme Long Huang believed that the Huangluo Clan would undoubtedly follow!

Jiang Chen had saved the two former emperors and Li Jiang today, which for the Huangluo Clan, was a debt of gratitude as high as the heavens and as deep as the sea!

These two were Saint Realm Experts, and moreover, they were the eldest of the Huangluo Clan!

All the members of the Huangluo Clan were descendants of the former emperors, and the Imperial Guard Army consisted of descendants under Li Jiang's command. In essence, saving these two was akin to saving the entire Huangluo Clan!

"Mr. Jiang, Long Huang is right, don't be so modest!"

The former emperor grasped Jiang Chen's hand gratefully: "If it were not for you, I would still not know how long I would need to stay in this cave. It's very possible I would have spent the rest of my life here. And Commander Li would have had to remain outside because of me. Our lives would have been like spending our days in prison. You not only healed our injuries, you also gave us freedom!"

Li Jiang also spoke excitedly: "Yes! Mr. Jiang, although you said that destroying the Soul likeness Avatars and the Soul Devour seeds was simply drawing them out, and that healing our wounds afterward also relied on our own Soul Power, but without your Dragon God's Power, our Soul Power would have been useless no matter how strong."

The former emperor nodded again: "Right, your Power of the Divine Dragon was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the most important and indispensable one! You are the savior of both of us, this grace is as good as giving us a new life!"

Jiang Chen, embarrassed by the praise, gave a simple smile, unsure of what to say.

"Alright, as long as you remember this favor, that's enough. If we keep going on about it, this kid might just look for a hole to crawl into!" Supreme Long Huang interjected with a teasing tone.

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha…"

The former emperors and others all burst into laughter.

Sigh!

The former emperor let out a long breath, speaking with feeling: "It's been a hundred years, always staying here. Now that I've finally recovered, after I rest for a few days, Commander Li, let's go for a walk together, shall we?"

"At your command!" Li Jiang responded with a light laugh.

"Ha ha, alright, although I haven't been out, I've occasionally swept over the clan with my Soul Consciousness and caught wind of some news. Nowadays, there's no such thing as 'at your command' anymore!"

The former emperor laughed heartily, his eyes showing a complex expression, and deep within them, there was also a trace of fear.

Noticing the anomaly in the former emperor, Jiang Chen's eyes twinkled, and he said with a light chuckle: "Former Gaozu, Commander Li, if you wouldn't mind, I could take you both out for a walk. However, I'd like to discuss something with both of you."

"Speak!" the two former emperors said in soft voices.

Jiang Chen's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a deep voice: "Could you please delay your departure for a little while?"

"This... do you need something from us?" Li Jiang hesitated for a moment, asking softly.

"The domestic situation isn't very good right now, and it seems the Eight-Headed Serpent has almost recovered. I was thinking... I would like the elders to cooperate with me in staging a play to see if we could trick the Eight-Headed Serpent just once!" Jiang Chen said softly.

"Trick the Eight-Headed Serpent?! You want to face it? Great! As long as we can deal with it, I wouldn't mind staying here any longer!" The former emperor's expression changed as he immediately agreed.

"Mr. Jiang, just tell us. As long as we can deal with the Eight-Headed Serpent, we two old men will do anything you ask!" Li Jiang said firmly, his eyes flashing with icy cold light!

"Here's what I'm thinking: since the former emperor originally had the Soul Devour seed within him, we could use that to..." Jiang Chen outlined his plan.

The former emperors listened intently, their eyes growing brighter as they listened, and the corners of their lips uncontrollably curled into smiles!
