Jiang Chen suddenly struck!

The Zhou Family's subordinate clans and the offering group were still waiting to enjoy the spectacle, but now all of them were completely bewildered.

Pu Liang and Yue Shaoting also sprang into action, turning to attack Zhou Wanrong behind them. A figure dashed forward and landed a palm strike directly on Liu Zhicheng.

Meanwhile, Li Jiang and Lan Tingxu, whom Jiang Chen had called out, leapt toward the Zhou Family Ancestor!

Yan Hu and others, along with members of two hidden families, jumped past the Zhou Family members and charged toward the Zhou Family's subordinate clans.

"Kill!"

A powerful shout rang out as Jiang Chen viciously slashed with the Blood Saber.

Roar!

Roar!

The sound of two dragon roars echoed, with golden light in the sky transforming into a golden Divine Dragon, and blood-red light below turning into a blood-colored Divine Dragon. The two dragons, one above and one below, dove directly into the Zhou Family subordinate clans' ranks.

"What!?"

"What's going on!?"

"What are you doing?!"

"Why are you attacking us?!"

Both the Zhou Family's subordinate clans and the offering group were completely stunned. Seeing Jiang Chen's forces and members of the three hidden families charge at them, they were deeply shocked and hastily activated their Inner Qi to fight back with all their might!

Boom! Boom!

The sound of two explosions rang out as the golden and blood-colored dragons tore through the ranks of the subordinate clans, shattering more than a dozen bodies and exploding violently.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A cloud of dust swept up, with vast plumes of white smoke filling the air.

"Bastards! You really sided with the Gene Organization; I'll kill you all!"

"Gene Organization, Soul Devouring Group scum, die!"

"Kill them!"

The Zhou Family members gritted their teeth and shouted furiously, launching their attacks with full force.

Boom! Rumble!

A blast resounded as Liu Zhicheng was hit by a sudden attack, smashing him into the rock wall nearby, disappearing deep inside.

"Li Ancestor, don't let him escape!" Jiang Chen urgently shouted.

The shadow attacking Liu Zhicheng charged without hesitation into the tunnel Liu Zhicheng created.

"Jiang Chen, how did you discover us?!" The Zhou Family Ancestor roared furiously, unleashing a fierce double-palm strike to counter Li Jiang and Lan Tingxu's attacks.

Boom!

A violent burst of Qi Force spread throughout the stone chamber.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Jiang Chen and his companions were slammed by the shockwave, crashing against the rock walls. Aside from the three directly engaged in combat, everyone coughed up blood from the impact.

Earlier, Liu Zhicheng had been smashed into the tunnel, absorbing all the residual battle energy. But the shockwave from Li Jiang and the others' clash spread outward, catching Jiang Chen and the rest off guard!

"Into the tunnel! Trap these bastards in the stone chamber!" Jiang Chen shouted, immediately darting into one of the tunnels.

The stone chamber had three tunnels: the one they entered from, one leading to the mountainside on the opposite wall, and another cramped passage carved by Liu Zhicheng's collision, barely wide enough for one person.

Yan Hu, Spirit You, Fang Tiancheng, Leng Ming, and Jun Lin, being closest to Jiang Chen, immediately followed him into the tunnel. Leng Ming and Jun Lin, both unconscious due to the shockwaves from the Saint Realm combatants, were carried by Fang Tiancheng; without his intervention, they would have died outright!

The Zhou Family's subordinate clans near the entrance turned toward the tunnel and charged inside. Among them, over two hundred people remained after the battle and the shockwave from the Zhou Family Ancestor and the other three.

"Get out of the way!"

A loud voice erupted, as an aged figure rushed to the tunnel entrance and struck several Zhou Family subordinate clan members heading toward it.

Bang!

Those individuals exploded into a cloud of dust, and the aged figure instantly took his place at the tunnel entrance.

"Yue Tianzheng?!"

Seeing the old man standing at the tunnel entrance, Zhou Wanrong's face dramatically changed, and he shouted in surprise.

Swish! Swish!

Two figures darted toward the tunnel Jiang Chen's group entered, as Pu Liang and Yue Shaoting approached. Pu Liang carried the unconscious Zhou Liecheng, while Yue Shaoting brought Yue Taizhong, blood trickling from his mouth.

Zhou Liecheng was stunned by the sudden turn of events; the shockwave from the three Saint Realm experts nearly killed him but was deflected by Pu Liang's timely intervention.

The Zhou Family members saw this and rushed toward the tunnel where Yue Tianzheng stood, while the offering group and subordinate clan members tried their best to block them.

"Ancestor Yue, bring in the Zhou Family members!" Jiang Chen shouted.

Swish!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Yue Tianzheng's figure flickered as he plunged into the battle, lifting Zhou Family members one by one and tossing them into the tunnel.

But once only Zhou Hai's unit and Zhou Min's family remained in the stone chamber, Yue Tianzheng ceased his rescue efforts. He leaped back to the tunnel entrance, guarding against the residual battle energies from Li Jiang, Lan Tingxu, and the Zhou Family Ancestor to protect the Zhou Family members inside.

"Ancestor Yue, save us!" Zhou Hai shouted pleadingly.

Yue Tianzheng remained unmoved, and none of the Zhou Family members interceded for them.

Zhou Hai and his companions turned pale.

Boom!

Another explosion rang out as Li Jiang and the others exchanged another round of palm strikes.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Clang! Clang!

Within the stone chamber, the offering group and subordinate clans were struck by the residual battle energies, smashing into the rock walls and coughing up blood. Some of them were instantly reduced to fragments of dust.

Seeing the patches of blood mixed with green flashes staining the corners, the Zhou Family members all looked grim.

"Jiang Chen, how did you discover us?!"

Once again, the Zhou Family Ancestor roared in fury, his voice reverberating throughout the stone chamber.

The Zhou Family Ancestor couldn't comprehend how Jiang Chen had identified them so precisely—leaving those who defected to the Soul Devouring Group and Gene Organization stranded in the chamber!

Just moments ago, Jiang Chen had been at odds with Zhou Dingguo's faction and was seemingly about to go to war.

Yet the result was a sudden reversal, where Jiang Chen struck decisively, scattering their forces and clinching victory with a single move!

What was going on?!

The Zhou Family Ancestor remained utterly bewildered, his face blank with confusion.

Jiang Chen ignored the old man's shouting; he and Yan Hu were now stationed about thirty meters into the tunnel, quietly recovering in secret.

That shockwave from the initial Saint Realm clash had severely injured them. Only Fang Tiancheng was relatively unharmed, standing guard at the forefront and ready to assist the battle at the tunnel entrance if needed!

Meanwhile, Pu Liang and Yue Shaoting held their ground at the tunnel entrance, dispersing the residual battle energies from the Saint Realm combatants while fending off attacks from Zhou Wanrong and several Venerable Realm Late Stage and peak-stage experts.

On the other side near Yue Tianzheng, his defense was impregnable—no one dared to challenge a Saint Realm expert guarding a tunnel.

Inside the stone chamber, only eight people remained: Zhou Wanrong and two others from the offering group, as well as the ancestors of the five subordinate clans. These eight individuals took turns charging at the tunnel defended by Yue Shaoting and Pu Liang.
