"Only the Li family, Huangluo Clan, and the Soul Devouring Group knew the death of Senior Li," Jiang Chen's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he spoke in a deep voice, "Obviously, these Liu Family people didn't recognize Senior Li and his companions, and they didn't even recognize Leng Ming, the heir of the Huangluo Clan. With that, only the Soul Devouring Group is left!"

At this point, Jiang Chen's expression turned icy, his eyes filled with a chilling intensity, "Damn it! I had some concerns about this when I had Supreme Long Huang investigate the hidden families. I didn't expect my hunch to be correct!"

"The heir of the Huangluo Clan?!"

"What? He is the heir of the Huangluo Clan?!"

"This..."

The great elders exclaimed in shock once more, unable to believe that Jiang Chen had not only brought back a Venerable powerhouse from the Huangluo Clan but had also lured back their heir.

More importantly, they all held Jiang Chen in such high regard, giving the great elders an unreal feeling, their gaze towards Jiang Chen was as if they didn't recognize him anymore!

Li Tianchong and Leng Ming's hearts skipped a beat upon hearing Jiang Chen's words.

The Soul Devouring Group had infiltrated other hidden families as well, didn't this mean that the hidden families must seriously investigate now?

When Jiang Chen initially mentioned investigating the hidden families, everyone thought it was to prevent them from causing trouble. No one anticipated that Jiang Chen was also considering whether the hidden families had been infiltrated by the Soul Devouring Group!

"Senior Li, cripple their strengths!" Jiang Chen's face darkened, shouting the command.

"No! What are you trying to do?"

"You can't…"

Members of the Liu Family cried out in terror.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Several of them erupted with power, standing up ready to charge at Jiang Chen. They saw clearly that here, Jiang Chen held the ultimate authority. If they took him down, no one else would dare to make a move!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Li Tianchong and Fang Tiancheng's eyes turned cold as they released their formidable auras.

Thud!

Liu Wanjiang was once again forced onto the ground by the pressure of their presence.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Li Tianchong and Fang Tiancheng moved in a flash, and their afterimages suddenly appeared in the hall.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three muffled thuds, the bodies of Liu Zhanting, Liu Zhanguo, and Liu Wanjiang stiffened suddenly and then curled up together.

"Ah!"

Spurt!

Thud! Thud!

The pitiful screams echoed, and the three of them spewed a mouthful of fresh blood. Liu Zhanting and the others fell to the ground, their auras completely dissipated, their breaths feeble, all fainting away.

"Hey, wait for me!" a shout came, and Leng Ming fiercely kicked right at Liu Tingwen's Dantian.

Bang!

A muffled sound erupted, and Liu Tingwen was sent flying backward.

Spurt!

Thud!

Spewing blood in mid-air, Liu Tingwen hit the wall hard and slid down to the ground, fainting immediately.

Jiang Chen glanced at Leng Ming, shook his head gently, and then took out his phone to make a call.

"Beep... Beep... Hello, Chief Instructor, I was just about to call you!" A respectful voice came through the receiver.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "What's up?"

"Chief Instructor, sister has made contact with Spa Training Camp. She gave me the information of the contact person there. Shall I bring it over to you?"

"Haha, you want to come along with me because you're bored of being trained by the black and white elders?" Jiang Chen laughed lightly.

"Hehe..." An embarrassed laughter echoed from the receiver.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, "Come here, I'm at the Jiang Family right now, and I actually need you to do something!"

"Yes, I'll be right there!"

"Uh?" Jiang Chen was startled for a moment, then asking in surprise, "You're in Jincheng already?"

"Yes, I... I'm at the entrance of the Jiang Family Courtyard!"

"You won," Jiang Chen said helplessly shaking his head, "Tell the guards at the gate to directly bring you to the small reception room in the third courtyard."

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen turned to look at Leng Ming and Li Tianchong, "Don't kill them yet. I've called someone who's skilled in interrogation to question them. If the Hidden World Families are really heavily infiltrated by the Soul Devouring Group, then we must change our strategy. We can't just let the Flame Dragon Group investigate the Hidden World Families. Given their awkward relationship, it's very likely they won't find anything!"

"Understood!" Li Tianchong nodded.

Leng Ming said softly, "Mr. Jiang, should we start investigating with our family first?"

"This..."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, "Let's not investigate everywhere for now. Let's see if Spirit You can interrogate anything useful. However, you can have your family start investigating your own subsidiary families first!"

"Subsidiary families... Our family only has the ancestral Li family and the Medicine King Family as subsidiaries," Leng Ming said with a hint of embarrassment.

Jiang Chen looked at Leng Ming with surprise and asked, "Just... Isn't your family one of the three great Hidden World Families... Oh, I see!"

Before he could finish, Jiang Chen suddenly realized that the Huangluo Clan's reputation in the Martial Dao World was just slightly better than that of the Flame Dragon Group. After all, they were once rulers of the continent, and it made sense that other Hidden World Families didn't favor them.

Seeing that Jiang Chen had figured it out on his own, Leng Ming didn't bother explaining. It was indeed embarrassing that the foremost Flame Dragon First Family had so few subsidiary families!

Knock, knock, knock!

A series of knocks on the door rang out, Fang Tiancheng, standing at the door, opened it.

At the entrance stood Spirit You and a guard.

The guard took a glance inside the room, Jiang Chen nodded at him, and the guard turned to leave.

"Chief Instructor!" Spirit You entered the room and saluted Jiang Chen.

"Not bad! You've improved quickly!" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up as he patted Spirit You on the shoulder with a smile.

During this period, Spirit You had returned to the Shadow Clan to learn the proper cultivation methods, and with the elixirs that Jiang Chen had been supplying them, he had now become a mid-stage warrior in the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm!

"These few I leave to you. After the interrogation, come to the small banquet hall in the fourth courtyard for dinner!"

Jiang Chen pointed at Liu Zhanting and the others, "They are from the Hidden World Families and related to the Soul Devouring Group!"

"Understood!" Spirit You nodded.

"Let's go, the fourth courtyard should already have the food and drinks set up!" Jiang Chen turned to call Li Tianchong and the others.

Everyone was startled for a moment, then realized that no food had been served here; Jiang Chen had never intended to eat here, nor did he plan to host the Liu Family members.

"Hu Zi, cooperate with Spirit You and provide him with whatever he needs!" Jiang Chen turned to give an order, then led the others out of the banquet hall.

In the small banquet hall of the fourth courtyard, Jiang Chen and his company took their seats according to the arrangement they had earlier.

Knock, knock, knock!

Less than three minutes after they sat down, a series of knocks sounded, and the Jiang Family guards brought in the food and drinks.

"Mr. Jiang, why did that brother just now call you 'Instructor Jiang'?" Leng Ming asked with curiosity, looking at Jiang Chen.
