Xuan Long filled all the jade vials, perfectly draining the spiritual liquid in the depression. He glanced at the slowly dripping spiritual liquid and spoke softly, "We'll come back to collect these in two days. Since the elder Long Huang said they will be gone in two days, let's gather them all at the end."

"Alright! Let's go!" Jiang Chen nodded and turned to head into the water.

Drizzle!

Everyone entered the water, squeezed through the crevice, and floated up toward the sea surface.

Buzz buzz buzz!

As Jiang Chen and the others slowly approached the sea surface, waves of vague momentum emanated from above, causing everyone to frown deeply. They suddenly accelerated and swam quickly upward.

Splash!

Jiang Chen and the others swiftly burst out of the sea surface and stood scanning the area.

The helicopter was parked on the small island, three meters in circumference, where Elder Qing and the others hovered in the air. Their whole aura radiated, staring directly at a group one hundred meters ahead.

That group had sixteen people, one at the peak of the Venerable Realm, three in the Late Stage Venerable Realm, five in the Mid Stage, and the rest in the Early Stage.

"Seems like there is indeed something of value."

The leader of the opposing group was an elderly westerner. He glanced at the leather bag carried by Xuan Long, then turned to a middle-aged man beside him, saying, "Chen Kang, well done!"

"Great Venerable, it was my duty!" Chen Kang smiled and bowed slightly to the leading elder.

"That middle-aged man is the one we drove away last month!" Xuan Long whispered.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "If a fight breaks out later, don't engage, just protect the spiritual liquid."

"Yes!" Xuan Long replied quietly.

"Kid, if you have any sense, hand over the things you obtained from below immediately! These are not something you can meddle with!" The elderly westerner glanced at Supreme Long Huang, then turned and shouted at Xuan Long.

"We discovered these, why should we hand them over to you?" Jiang Chen said coldly.

"I found them; your people forcibly took them!" Chen Kang shouted with righteousness.

The western elder angrily scolded, "Did you hear that? Daring to touch the belongings of Grand Virtue Gate, you're tired of living! Put them down at once!"

"Grand Virtue Gate?!" Jiang Chen was slightly stunned and asked in surprise, "Are you from the Yasna Continent region of Grand Virtue Gate?"

"What Yasna Continent region, Tang Qiuye is unworthy of being my superior! His sons are all dead, still hiding in Flame Dragon's lair, he's just a waste!" The western elder arrogantly said, "I am the Great Venerable Stada Dikenney of the America region!"

"What? Old Bai's son is dead!?"

"Dikenney Family?!"

Jiang Chen and Xuan Long both exclaimed in low voices.

"Young Bai's son was killed by the Soul Devouring Group! Old Bai urgently left yesterday because of this!"

Supreme Long Huang gently explained and looked up at Stada, speaking coldly, "Your people from the America region came to Yasna Continent region, didn't you know you're crossing boundaries?"

Pausing for a moment, Supreme Long Huang's aura suddenly erupted, hovering in the air, staring straight at Stada, "Your people from Grand Virtue Gate's America region came to our Flame Dragon's territorial waters, did you notify our Flame Dragon Group?"

"Flame Dragon Group?!"

Stada's heart trembled; his eyes changed slightly as he carefully assessed Supreme Long Huang, gradually revealing a familiar feeling, "Are you Long..."

"He's from the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group!" Chen Kang suddenly interrupted, speaking loudly and cutting off Stada's words.

Stada frowned and glared at Chen Kang.

Chen Kang hurried over to Stada's side and spoke urgently, "Great Venerable, he's from the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group, I recognize the person below; he's the head of Dragon Flame Mercenary Group, Xuan Long!"

While speaking, Chen Kang revealed a hint of murderous intent, transmitting through Soul Power, "Lord Stada, even the Supreme of Flame Dragon Group has stepped in, clearly suggesting the things below are extraordinary. This place is sparsely populated, hardly anyone comes, and there's not a soul nearby. If we kill them, then those things..."

Stada narrowed his eyes slightly at these words, glancing at the bag on Xuan Long's back, weighing the pros and cons in his heart, and secretly probing the realm of Jiang Chen and the others!

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen sensed the fluctuations in Soul Power and that hint of murderous intent. His eyes narrowed slightly as he leapt to Supreme Long Huang's side.

"Supreme Long Huang, they're communicating telepathically, that Chen Kang harbors killing intent, he possibly suggests eliminating us. If a fight does break out, lure that old man up, we'll deal with the ones below swiftly!" Jiang Chen transmitted using Soul Power.

"Alright!" Supreme Long Huang replied through transmission, anger evident in his eyes.

Daring to entertain assassination thoughts even after revealing his Flame Dragon Group identity, it was simply not acknowledging Flame Dragon Group!

Supreme Long Huang was burning with fury; originally, he'd planned to give Old Bai some face, to intimidate them into leaving, at worst send someone from Flame Dragon Group to guard with An Long for two days.

But surprisingly, the opponents planned to kill him; Supreme Long Huang instantly bore murderous intent as well!

Regarding Jiang Chen's sensing abilities, he had absolute confidence!

Noticing Supreme Long Huang already harboring killing intent, Jiang Chen gestured to those below.

An Long and the others nodded, forming a peculiar formation with Yan Hu and Spirit You, positioned below Jiang Chen. Xuan Long leapt directly onto the small island, Ying Zi and Elder Qing soared up, hovering beside Jiang Chen.

"You claim to be from Flame Dragon Group; what's your evidence?" After intense mental conflict, Stada decided to gamble.

Chen Kang's face showed delight, turning to look at Xuan Long and the others, his eyes showing a smug smile.

If he were to simply leave, he'd lose credit, possibly face reprimands; but if fighting ensued, he'd not only gain credit but forge closer ties with Great Venerable through this battle, and then...

"Evidence? Ha ha!"

Supreme Long Huang coldly chuckled, his gaze turning completely icy, "You and Grand Virtue Gate await Flame Dragon Group's sanction!"

Swoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Supreme Long Huang's figure flashed, soaring into the sky as if abandoning Jiang Chen and the others to flee.

"Miserable wretch!"

Stada hadn't anticipated Supreme Long Huang fleeing without a fight, cursed angrily, and pursued rapidly.

Chen Kang glanced upward, then turned to Xuan Long, "Leader Xuan Long, your strongest has escaped; I advise you to surrender willingly!"

"Are you dreaming?" Xuan Long coldly looked at Chen Kang.

Chen Kang looked at Xuan Long, then at Jiang Chen and the others, his eyes shifted as he mocked, "Ladies and gentlemen, haven't you noticed? Your leader shows no intention of fighting; he intends to sacrifice you as fodder and escape opportunistically while you foolishly prepare for battle here. Did your brains fill with water when you were submerged earlier?"

"Haha! Certainly waterlogged, otherwise how could they dare fight us?"

"Indeed, a bunch of fools, sold out yet unaware!"

"Hurry and kneel, apologize, perhaps we'll spare your lives if we're in a good mood!"

"Hand over the items, and we might not kill you!"

The others from the America region quickly understood Chen Kang's intention, loudly mocking.

Jiang Chen and the others simply smiled coldly, unmoved.

Although their numbers were fewer, in An Long and the others' eyes, Chen Kang and his companions were already dead!
