Jiang Chen opened his eyes once again and found himself before Jiang Wuwei.

"Kid, good thing you came to your senses, otherwise, I would have no choice but to purge our clan!"

Jiang Wuwei gave Jiang Chen a cold glance.

Jiang Chen's heart trembled as he looked at Jiang Wuwei in surprise.

Jiang Wuwei's gaze softened slightly, and his face suddenly turned somber as he spoke in a deep voice: "Kid, there's no rush to go out yet. Let that bastard Ning Bofan fight for you first. I have a story to tell you."

"Ah?"

Jiang Chen felt puzzled, and looked at Jiang Wuwei with a curious expression.

Jiang Wuwei didn't mind Jiang Chen's reaction and began softly: "Back then, your senior brother and I..."

After listening to Jiang Wuwei's story, Jiang Chen finally understood why he would say such words.

Back then, Jiang Wuwei, Jiang Wuqing, and the two Sect Masters of the Chixiao Sect joined forces to fight against Blood Venerate Ning Bofan!

Jiang Chen had always thought there was only one ancestor in the Chixiao Sect, but now he learned that a thousand years ago, the Chixiao Sect was led by two Sect Masters; one was the brother of Jiang Wuwei, the former Ancestor Chi Xiao, and the other was Ancestor Chi Xiao's wife, the Fairy Chilian.

During that great battle, the five of them fought so fiercely that heaven and earth trembled, and just as the four were about to slay Ning Bofan, the Eight-Headed Serpent suddenly emerged, severely wounding Ancestor Chi Xiao.

Afterward, the Eight-Headed Serpent sought to join forces with Ning Bofan, but Ning Bofan was unmoved. Not only did he not ally with the Eight-Headed Serpent, but he attacked it directly.

With everyone's combined efforts, they repelled the Eight-Headed Serpent and once again surrounded Ning Bofan.

Due to Ancestor Chi Xiao's injury, the four of them could no longer suppress Ning Bofan. In desperation, Fairy Chilian unleashed a Secret Method that led to mutual destruction!

However, as powerful as the Secret Method was, Ning Bofan's cultivation technique was centered around Essence Blood, and he had already merged his Essence Blood with his Divine Soul.

As long as the Divine Soul remained intact, Ning Bofan would never die!

After Fairy Chilian died, Ning Bofan's body was destroyed, leaving only his Divine Soul.

Just as Ning Bofan's Divine Soul was about to escape into hiding, Jiang Wuwei self-detonated his body and, with the power of his Divine Soul, sealed him within the Dragon-Tyrant Soul!

Because he no longer had a physical body, Jiang Wuwei's Divine Soul and Ning Bofan's Divine Soul were both trapped within the Dragon-Tyrant Soul summoned by Jiang Wuwei.

Until Jiang Chen was born, the Dragon-Tyrant Soul entered the depths of Jiang Chen's soul on its own accord and chose Jiang Chen to be the next Dragon Descendant, with the Divine Souls of both Jiang Wuwei and Ning Bofan trapped deep inside Jiang Chen's soul.

"Second Ancestor, you, you were also a Dragon Descendant? There were two Dragon Descendants back then?"

Jiang Chen gazed at Jiang Wuwei, dumbfounded.

Jiang Wuwei smiled gently: "Did you think only your senior brother was the Dragon Descendant? After that battle, your senior brother took care of Chi Xiao and sent us to... a place I cannot yet reveal to you. After he made sure we were well situated, he went to pursue the Eight-Headed Serpent."

"When your senior brother settled us down, he mentioned that Ning Bofan's Essence Blood and Divine Soul had the ability to infiltrate into others' bloodlines. If our descendants were to activate the Dragon Soul, and if your senior brother was not dead, it would surely draw us to the depths of their souls. Ning Bofan would definitely try to control our descendants, which is to say, you!"

"At that time, your senior brother entrusted me with this: if you couldn't awaken and really got controlled by Ning Bofan, I was to use the power of our blood connection to detonate your soul and purge our clan. He would rather have you die than let Ning Bofan escape!"

Jiang Chen shivered with fright: "That was a close call; what if I hadn't realized that, wouldn't I have ended up dead by your hand?"

"You came to your senses, but... have you reclaimed control of your body?" A grave look flashed across Jiang Wuwei's eyes.

Jiang Chen smirked slightly: "Second Ancestor, you underestimate me. Now that I have come to my senses and with the heart of a true warrior, how could I let anyone invade my soul? If not for wanting to use Ning Bofan to repel my enemies, I would have regained control of my body long ago!"

"That's good to hear!"

Jiang Wuwei sighed with relief: "Kid, remember, when you break through to the Venerable Realm, Ning Bofan will definitely launch his final attack. At that moment, it will be up to you! I won't be able to help you then; if I make a move, I will surely damage your soul!"

"I understand!"

Jiang Chen nodded solemnly.

"Alright, now pay attention to what's going on outside!"

Jiang Wuwei nodded, and with a sweep of his hand, a golden light flashed by.

"Hey, you..."

Jiang Chen's face changed color, just as he was about to cry out, his body was enveloped by the golden light, and in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

In the midst of darkness, a golden light flashed past, and the figure of Jiang Chen appeared.

"Damn it! Is this the depths of my soul? How can you just summon and push me around like this? What are you doing?"

Jiang Chen muttered under his breath, looking forward with a displeased face, his expression suddenly turned serious.

In the eastern outskirts of Zheng City, an abandoned factory.

The site of the factory had been reduced to ruins, and Spirit You and others stood at the edge of the ruins, looking anxiously at the space above.

Above the ruins, four figures turned into four afterimages, fiercely battling!

Bang!

Boom!

Roaring sounds erupted, and the four figures in the sky separated.

Ancestor Lan, Jiang Chen, and Zheng Wenming all had blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, while the Black Mist Serpent's body had become much more ethereal.

"Bastard! If it weren't for this boy's body being unable to withstand too much power, how could I not have taken down this beast by now!" Blood Venerate coldly spat out, his eyes icily fixed on the Black Mist Serpent.

"Blood Venerate, do you want to take down this serpent?"

Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with lucidity, and his own voice sounded from his mouth.

"It's the head instructor!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

Spirit You and the others shouted out in surprise.

Ancestor Lan looked at Jiang Chen with worry in his eyes: "Mr. Jiang, you..."

"How is that possible? How can you stay lucid?"

The voice of Blood Venerate sounded once more from Jiang Chen's mouth.

The faces of Spirit You and the others changed, all of them looking up at Jiang Chen in the sky with nervousness.

Zheng Wenming's thoughts flickered, and he suddenly shouted: "Blood Venerate senior, although I don't know what happened to you, you must want this body, right? As long as you help us kill this old thing, we will help you devour Jiang Chen's soul, allowing you to completely control his body, how about that?"

Ancestor Lan's face changed, and with a sudden flash, he widened the distance between himself and Jiang Chen, guarding against him with a wary expression.

Spirit You and the others all became tense, their eyes showing a worried look.

Blood-colored light radiated from Jiang Chen's eyes, but inside his mind, conversations between two voices echoed.

"Kid, did you hear that? If you dare to fight for control of the body, I will join them in getting rid of that Lan guy first!"

"Blood Venerate, are you really willing to give up national honor and willingly become a dog of the Bei Hai?"

"I'm not becoming a dog; I'm gaining my freedom! Don't worry, after I've killed that Lan guy, I'll kill these Bei Hai people!"

"Blood Venerate, don't think I don't know, your Divine Soul is in the depths of my soul—you tell me, what if I burn my own soul, even burn the Dragon Soul, what will happen to you then?"

"You... Kid, are you bluffing me? You dare?"

Blood Venerate's voice carried a hint of scorn, he truly did not believe Jiang Chen would do such a thing.

But Jiang Chen just laughed:

"Me? Not dare?"
