At this moment, the entire stone chamber was filled with the aura of Saint Realm experts.

Zhou Wanrong and others were struggling to resist the oppressive aura of the Saint Realm experts while also fending off the aftermath of the battle among the three Saint Realm fighters. They had no strength left to break through the mountain walls and escape.

After all, this was the fortified passageway initially set up by the Zhou Family, and the mountain walls here were reinforced during its construction.

When Liu Zhicheng was slammed into the mountain wall, Jiang Chen glanced at the passage he had created. The marble had several layers, intermixed with iron ore, diamonds, and other materials. Zhou Wanrong and the others, while resisting the aftermath of the three Saint Realm fighters' battle and the oppressive aura, were entirely incapable of breaking through the mountain wall and could only focus on charging the passage.

Li Jiang and Lan Tingxu seemed to have realized this, as they were carefully controlling the Zhou Family Ancestor's movements, ensuring that he could only fight within the stone chamber without any chance to break through the mountain wall!

Boom! Boom!

The deafening sounds continued to reverberate. When Jiang Chen and the others entered the passageway, Li Jiang and Lan Tingxu completely unleashed their power, which was why the second wave of battle aftermath caused such significant losses to the delegation and Zhou Family's allied clans!

Jiang Chen glanced at Yue Shaoting and Pu Liang, who were struggling to fend off Zhou Wanrong and the others at the passage entrance, and let out a soft breath.

Though Pu Liang and Yue Shaoting were also facing difficulties, they were not directly stationed at the passage entrance but rather five meters inside the passage, so they were still able to hold their ground.

After adjusting his breath for a moment, Jiang Chen softly said, "Elder Fang, help me fend off the battle aftermath. I'll go take a look."

"Alright!"

Fang Tiancheng nodded firmly, his aura surging as he enveloped Jiang Chen and began slowly moving toward the passage entrance.

Yue Shaoting and Pu Liang noticed Jiang Chen's approach and immediately rushed to the passage entrance, taking up defensive positions and glaring at Zhou Wanrong and the others.

Zhou Wanrong and his group paused in surprise; after several failed attempts at charging through, they were already severely injured. As they continued to endure the aftermath of the battle between the three Saint Realm fighters, they noticed Yue Shaoting and Pu Liang standing at the passage entrance and turned to look.

The passageway Jiang Chen was in stretched over a hundred meters straight, allowing him to see the front clearly at a glance.

When Fang Tiancheng escorted Jiang Chen closer, Zhou Wanrong roared out, "Jiang Chen, you bastard! The organization will definitely kill you!"

Jiang Chen completely ignored Zhou Wanrong. How many from the three organizations had he already killed? A few more wouldn't make a difference.

As he arrived at the passage entrance, Yue Shaoting and Pu Liang joined in guarding him. Under the protection of the three peak Venerable Realm powerhouses, Jiang Chen extended his head to observe the situation in the stone chamber.

The air within the stone chamber was filled with countless afterimages, making it impossible to clearly see the three combatants. Under the overwhelming aura and the vibration of the battle's aftermath, debris and falling stones had begun to rain down, leaving Zhou Wanrong's group reduced to just three struggling individuals!

"Ancestor Yue, end the battle!"

Jiang Chen took a brief look before pulling back, retreating by several meters, and activating his Inner Qi to shout toward Yue Tianzheng, voicing a hint of doubt in his heart.

Under these circumstances, Yue Tianzheng should have realized it by now. Why hadn't he acted yet? Zhou Wanrong's group no longer had the strength to keep assaulting the passageway!

Yue Tianzheng called out, "What's to be done with the Zhou Family Ancestor?"

"What?"

Jiang Chen froze momentarily before realizing the situation, a mix of amusement and exasperation crossing his face.

Yue Tianzheng had hesitated this whole time, unsure of how to deal with the Zhou Family Ancestor. Thinking Jiang Chen had already informed Li Jiang and Lan Tingxu of the plan, he hadn't acted yet!

"Kill him!"

Jiang Chen shouted loudly, "He's not the Zhou Family Ancestor; he's a Gene Warrior, not someone controlled by the Soul Devour seed!"

Swish!

Upon hearing this, Yue Tianzheng dashed into the stone chamber, delivering a fierce palm strike to Zhou Wanrong's group, who had cornered themselves while defending against the battle's aftermath.

"Ah—"

A blood-curdling scream immediately echoed.

Meanwhile, as soon as Jiang Chen uttered the word "Kill," the Zhou Family members in the passageway showed expressions of shock. Once they heard his explanation, they collectively turned toward Zhou Dingguo.

Zhou Dingguo wasn't entirely certain, but he had no choice but to trust Jiang Chen at that moment. He nodded slightly, and just as he did, a loud cry validated Jiang Chen's claim.

"Impossible! Jiang Chen, how can you distinguish us so accurately, even identifying Gene Warriors from Soul Warriors?"

The 'Zhou Family Ancestor' bellowed during the fight.

Jiang Chen paid him no mind and retreated back into the passageway, beginning to treat Leng Ming and the others' wounds.

Rumble!

After some time, a loud explosion echoed, signaling the end of the fight within the stone chamber.

Clatter, clatter!

With the last booming noise, large stones began raining down from the chamber's roof!

"The stone chamber is collapsing!" Yue Tianzheng yelled.

Swish!

Jiang Chen's figure flashed into the stone chamber, quickly surveying it. Zhou Wanrong's group was entirely dead, leaving white powder beneath Yue Tianzheng and the other three's feet.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Jiang Chen turned to the Zhou Family members in the other passageway and asked, "Is your passage shorter?"

"Yours is. Head toward the mountain—quickly!"

Zhou Dingguo promptly urged, lifting the Zhou Family members near him as he rushed into the stone chamber.

"Hurry, rescue them! Head up the mountain!"

Jiang Chen shouted before dashing into the mountain cave where the Zhou Family had gathered.

Yue Tianzheng and the three others, along with the less severely injured Yue Shaoting group, quickly moved into the opposite passageway, lifting the wounded Zhou Family members as they fled toward the passage near Yan Hu's group.

As Jiang Chen supported Zhou Jiang, he muttered in frustration, "What was your ancestor thinking? Fortifying the passage so poorly—how is it supposed to withstand an encirclement?"

Zhou Jiang replied with a bitter smile, "Back then, the passage could indeed block attacks from Saint Realm experts. But after so many years have passed, it's already impressive that it lasted this long under the Saint Realm battle!"

Clatter!

As the falling stones increased in number, the group rapidly fled up the mountain passageway.

...

At the foot of the mountain behind the Yue Family's residential area.

When Jiang Chen and his group entered the passageway, the Liu Family members glanced once at the already sealed entrance and turned to walk toward the Yue Family residential area.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Swish, swish!

Suddenly, several powerful auras emerged, and several figures appeared, blocking the Liu Family's path.

"Who are you?"

An elder from the Liu Family frowned and shouted angrily, "Do you know where this place is? How dare you cause trouble here—are you seeking death?"

Those who blocked the path were none other than Elder Qing and the others, who had promised Jiang Chen they would bring powerful reinforcements to negotiate with the Zhou Family. The arrivals now included Supreme Long Huang, Supreme Phoenix Luan, Supreme Hu Sha, along with Elder Qing.

"What does Young Jiang have to say?" Supreme Long Huang asked gently.

A flicker of killing intent crossed Elder Qing's eyes as he responded, "These are all people from the Gene Organization!"
