Sa Mo spoke heavily: "The most critical thing is the attitude of the higher-ups toward the three major organizations. Haven't you noticed that their attitude is the same as Jiang Chen's? Neither alliances nor antagonism!"

"As for Jiang Chen, it's easy to handle. As long as we don't provoke him, there's likely to be no more interactions in the future."

"But the three major organizations are different. Their ambition has gradually manifested, and it's inevitable we will collide with them. Whether to ally or confront them is fundamental to how we strategize in dealing with Jiang Chen."

"I understand!" Cha'erhan nodded lightly.

Afterward, Cha'erhan hesitated a bit, and said softly: "Someone from the Soul Devouring Group contacted me, wanting me to provide some conveniences, but I refused. I have a feeling they won't just approach me; our organization's responsible figures will likely become their targets!"

"What!? They already contacted you?" Sa Mo frowned, his expression instantly turning serious.

Cha'erhan nodded lightly: "Just yesterday."

"This must be reported. We have to take the matter of the three major organizations seriously. They currently stand in direct opposition to the Flame Dragon Group, the Holy Court, and... Jiang Chen!"

Speaking of Jiang Chen, Sa Mo's eyes showed a hint of introspection: "If it weren't for the Soul Devouring Group, I wonder if the Holy Court and the Flame Dragon Group would pay so much attention to Jiang Chen."

"Mr. Sa Mo, I thought about your words just now, and I somehow feel..."

Sen Tai spoke softly: "I feel the Flame Dragon Group and the Holy Court seem to use Jiang Chen as a banner to attract the fire of the three major organizations."

Sa Mo was stunned for a moment, frowned tightly, thought carefully about the events surrounding Jiang Chen, and spoke heavily: "Let's not discuss this topic anymore. Regardless of the Flame Dragon Group and Holy Court's attitude toward Jiang Chen, it doesn't concern us."

Sen Tai looked puzzled, nodded lightly.

Lu Shi glanced at Sa Mo upon hearing this, her eyes moving thoughtfully, uncertain of what she was contemplating.

…

Jiuzhou Hotel.

"Let me use it first; once I'm done, I'll give it back to you!" Jiang Chen took the Qiong Gouyu from Ying Zi's hand and spoke softly.

"Young Master, please keep it for now. I don't need it at the moment. This absorption session is enough for me to adjust for a period, and I plan to use it when I'm practicing to break through to the Saint Realm."

Ying Zi giggled and shook her head: "You can keep it during this time, wearing it enhances soul power and soul strength during practice, which I don't need right now. What I need is to familiarize myself with my rapidly increasing power and can't focus on practice anymore!"

Jiang Chen accepted her words without refusal; indeed, he wanted to research this Qiong Gouyu. The earlier mention of 'Saint Dragon Jade' by the Dragon Saint and the filtering of two Dragon Souls had made him curious about this Qiong Gouyu.

Taking out his phone, Jiang Chen dialed a number.

"Ring… ring… Hello, Mr. Jiang."

"Chief Judge Xi'er, the items needed to heal the wound in your soul origin are ready. Would you like to come over now or wait until after the Empress's birthday banquet for the treatment?" Jiang Chen spoke softly.

"What?! Now? I'll come right now, over immediately!" Xi'er's excited voice came through the receiver.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and responded softly.

Ending the call, Jiang Chen turned toward Spirit You: "Spirit You, head to the Dark Night Angel base in Mist City, and request detailed information on Grand Duke Si Mo'er, the more detailed, the better!"

"Yes!" Spirit You responded, stood up, and left the room.

Ding dong!

Not long after Spirit You left, the doorbell of the room rang.

Yan Hu got up to open the door, Jiang Chen smiled at the entrance.

Click!

"Mr. Jiang, is it really possible?"

As soon as the door opened, a figure rushed into the living room, looking at Jiang Chen excitedly.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "We can try, but no guarantees of success!"

Xi'er shook his head repeatedly: "No matter, no matter, better to have hope than none at all!"

Glancing at the doorway, Jiang Chen asked confusedly: "Didn't Vice Leader Ha'er come with you?"

"No!"

Xi'er shook his head: "Ha'er was called by the Empress, Fa'erxi accepted Grand Duke Si Mo'er's invitation, intending to probe him for Mr. Jiang. I was at Grand Duke Pu Losi's residence, he had guests, and I felt quite bored there. After receiving your call, I came over directly!"

"Then let's go inside."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, smiled to invite, then turned to Yan Hu and Ying Zi: "Fang, Hu Zi, Ying Zi, guard the doorway, don't let anyone interrupt us!"

"Okay!"

"Yes!"

Fang Tiancheng and the others responded softly.

Jiang Chen led Xi'er inside while Yan Hu and the others stayed alert in the living room, acting as protectors for Jiang Chen and Xi'er.

Inside the suite.

Xi'er sat cross-legged on the carpet, Jiang Chen's expression was solemn as he stood before Xi'er: "Chief Judge Xi'er, are you ready?"

"Ready! Mr. Jiang, please start!"

Xi'er heavily nodded, closed his eyes, his slightly trembling eyelids revealing his inner tension.

Jiang Chen took out the Qiong Gouyu, gave Xi'er a look, and called firmly: "Unlock the self-defense of your soul origin!"

Buzz!

An exquisite fluctuation flickered on Xi'er's body.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Sensing that wave, a primeval aura erupted from Jiang Chen's body, making him seem like he'd emerged from ancient times!

Roar!

Shimmer shimmer shimmer!

Suddenly, an exhilarating dragon chant sounded within Jiang Chen, white light burst from his whole body.

This light differed from the Holy Light of the Holy Court.

The Holy Court's light evoked a sense of divine inviolability, whereas the radiance emanating from Jiang Chen involuntarily made one think of a word unrelated to aura, 'primitive'!

Jiang Chen sensed the brilliance emanating from his body, his brow furrowed slightly.

Buzz!

An exquisite fluctuation came, misty air currents emerged from Jiang Chen's brow.

Shimmer shimmer shimmer!

Primal radiance permeated into those air currents.

Roar!

A dragon chant resounded, a white, ephemeral dragon shadow appeared before Jiang Chen.

Dragon Shadow?

My soul power gathered Heaven and Earth Dragon Origin Qi to actually form into a dragon shape?

This dragon shadow… seems similar to my new Martial Soul!

Reflecting on it briefly, Jiang Chen focused and controlled the dragon shadow, gradually making it enter the Qiong Gouyu in his hand.

This was a method taught by Dragon Saint for using the Qiong Gouyu, filtering one's soul power through it to make it pure.

Such purified soul power could be absorbed by anyone, while the Qiong Gouyu could amplify it, endowing it with layers of characteristics.

After the dragon shadow entered the Qiong Gouyu, Jiang Chen pressed the Qiong Gouyu against Chief Judge Xi'er's forehead, slowly closing his eyes.
