Thud! Thud! Thud!

Three muffled sounds rang out as Yue Taizhong and his two companions' fists collided with the Divine Dragon.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Thud! Thud!

The three men were sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, their faces filled with shock as they stared incredulously at Jiang Chen ahead.

The Golden Divine Dragon cast a glance at Yue Taizhong and his two companions and chased after them with a flick of its dragon tail!

"How...how is this possible?! The Family Head and the others are bleeding from their mouths?"

"The Family Head has been, been repelled?!"

"What kind of Divine Dragon is that? It feels different from the one Jiang Chen summoned before?!"

"So strong, this aura is dominating and vast, and so ancient. Is this, could this be Jiang Chen's Martial Soul?!"

People from the Yue Family around the square witnessed Yue Taizhong and the others being knocked back and bleeding, and they all exclaimed in shock.

With a thought, Jiang Chen stopped the Golden Divine Dragon's pursuit, stepped forward, leapt beside the Divine Dragon, and looked indifferently at Yue Taizhong and his companions: "Family Head Yue, shall we continue the fight?"

"No need!"

A shout arose, and two elders from the north tower leapt down onto the square.

"Greetings, Great Ancestor Lan!"

"Salute to both elders!"

"Hello, elders!"

People from the Yue Family bowed in respect, while Yue Taizhong and his two companions also landed and greeted the two elders with clenched fists and bowed heads.

Jiang Chen glanced at the two elders, then joined Yan Hu and the other by his side and also greeted with a clenched fist.

At this moment, the two elders had already understood why Jiang Chen had confronted the Yue Family, exchanged glances, and the elder in black loudly declared: "The third trial has ended, successfully passing all three! The engagement is dissolved!"

"Ha ha, I knew Mr. Jiang could definitely win!"

"He won, he won! The engagement is dissolved!"

Leng Ming, Song Wanqiu, and a few others joyfully shouted.

"We lost!"

"For so many years, someone has actually passed all three trials of our Yue Family!"

"This Jiang Chen...so strong!"

"Amazing, to reach such strength at such a young age, given time... he has the potential for the Saint Realm!"

People from the Yue Family exclaimed, looking at Jiang Chen with eyes full of admiration.

Yue Taizhong took a deep look at Jiang Chen, his gaze revealing a hint of dejection.

"Offended!"

Jiang Chen returned the gesture with a clench-fisted salute towards Yue Taizhong.

Buzz!

The Golden Divine Dragon trembled and dissolved into golden light that merged into Jiang Chen's body.

"Mr. Jiang, thank you!" Song Wanqiu came in front of Jiang Chen and bowed deeply, her voice filled with gratitude.

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.

"Young man, may I have a word with you?"

At that moment, the two Yue Family elders approached Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with hope.

Jiang Chen was slightly startled and nodded lightly: "Sure!"

"Wu Jiang, Tai Zhong, Zhen Feng, and this friend, please come over," the elder in black glanced at Yue Wujiang and others, his gaze finally resting on Spirit You.

Jiang Chen's gaze shifted slightly as he deeply observed the old man in black, a conjecture forming in his heart.

"I'll go too!" Yan Hu spoke softly.

"Let's go together! Elder Yue won't mind, right?" A shout rang out, and Li Tianchong and Leng Ming approached the group.

The elderly man in black glanced at Li Tianchong and smiled gently, "Tianchong, we won't harm Mr. Jiang, forget it, let's go together!"

Jiang Chen quietly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat reassured with Li Tianchong and Leng Ming accompanying him. The words of the elder in black earlier were somewhat intriguing; he only mentioned that he wouldn't hurt himself, but didn't say he wouldn't harm Spirit You, and he had specifically mentioned Spirit You!

"Let's talk in the back."

The elderly man in black gestured toward the mountains behind a row of attics.

The old man in blue led the way, the elder in black and Jiang Chen's group followed toward the northern peaks, Qingyuan Yingzi and others also followed, and a hint of worry appeared in Song Wanqiu's eyes.

"What does the elder want with Jiang Chen?"

"Is it because Jiang Chen embarrassed our Yue Family that he wants to deal with him?"

"Impossible! The elder isn't so petty!"

"Then why seek him? The great elder hasn't left the back mountain for over a century!"

The movements of the elderly man in black caused a flurry of discussion among the Yue Family, watching as Jiang Chen and others disappeared behind the bamboo buildings into the mountain path.

"Why is everyone here?" A shout rang out, and the Yue Family turned to look.

On the bamboo path came two men, one young and one old.

"Zhenting is back!"

"Big brother Zhenting is back!"

"Uncle Tian Chen!"

Seeing the two men, the Yue Family members joyfully called out.

"Uncle Tian Chen, thank you for your trouble!" Yue Taiming approached the two, cupping his fists in respect.

The newcomers were Yue Zhenting, who had gone to seek help from the Dong Family, and Dong Tianchen, who came to assist.

"Taiming, no need for formalities, let's go see Uncle Shao Ting!" Dong Tianchen waved his hand and spoke softly.

"Alright!" Yue Taiming responded and turned to lead the way.

Dong Tianchen, Yue Zhenting, Yue Tailin, Yue Tingqiang, and Yue Tingheng, five people followed behind, while the rest of the Yue Family dispersed.

"Tingqiang, what happened?"

Yue Zhenting glanced around as they walked, puzzled, "Where are grandpa, my dad, and Zhenting?"

"Miss Song Wanqiu from the Song Family came to cancel the engagement. Just now, they faced three challenges, now grandpa, my uncle, brother Zhengteng, and Miss Song Wanqiu along with the people she brought have all been summoned to the back mountain by the great elder!" whispered Yue Tingqiang, his face turning gloomy.

"What? Cancel the engagement?!"

Yue Zhenting's expression darkened, and he spoke sternly, "This Song Wanqiu is really unappreciative, but, what could have involved the great elder? Did they fail the three challenges and make a scene? Who was the witness?"

"It was the heir of the Huangluo Clan, Leng Ming, and the elder of the Imperial Guard Army, Li Tianchong from the Li family who acted as witnesses. I'm not sure why the elder was alerted, but regarding the three challenges..."

"How did the three challenges go? Surely they couldn't have won?"

Yue Zhenting scoffed.

Yue Tingqiang nodded hesitantly with a complex expression.

"What? What do you mean by nodding?" Yue Zhenting looked at Yue Tingqiang in surprise.

Dong Tianchen also turned his head, interested in the conversation.

Yue Taiming looked at Yue Tingqiang, smiled bitterly, and said, "The face is lost, what's there not to speak of? In the three challenges, our Yue Family lost!"

"Lost?!"

Yue Zhenting exclaimed in disbelief, looking at Yue Taiming, "Second uncle, don't joke around, with dad, you, and third uncle commanding the Seven Stars Celestial Wolf Formation, how could you lose? What battle array did they use? It's not the Eighteen Arhats Great Formation, is it? But even if it's the Eighteen Arhats Great Formation, without sufficient strength, that's also..."

Dong Tianchen also looked at Yue Taiming in shock, knowing the rules of the Yue Family's three challenges, he became interested in the identities of those who defeated the Seven Stars Celestial Wolf Formation formed by Yue Taizhong and seven others.

"Let's talk about this later, let's go see your grandfather first!" Yue Taiming spoke softly, as they had now arrived in front of the central attics on the third level of the Yue Family residential area.
