Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at Tian Chong, and then turned to look at Fu Lengfeng.

Fu Lengfeng quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, Tian Chong is just young and impetuous, please don't mind!"

"Elder Fu, is that necessary? Why be polite with him? Isn't he just the head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng? It doesn't even count as a martial family, what's the point of being polite?"

Tian Chong chided Fu Lengfeng and then looked arrogantly at Jiang Chen, "We're here to inform you that the Elixir Valley Pill Conference will be held next Wednesday at Elixir Valley. You must come!"

"Must?" Jiang Chen sneered coldly, "No one can tell me 'must'!"

"Kid, you killed over a hundred strong Venerable Realm experts from my Elixir Valley's affiliated families. If you don't come, don't blame my Elixir Valley for being impolite!"

Tian Chong spoke coldly, "Don't think that just because you've allied with the Five Great Families Along the River and the Flame Dragon Group, you are formidable in the Martial Dao World. The Flame Dragon Group does not meddle in martial affairs—it's the rule. And the Five Great Families..."

"Heh heh!" Tian Chong chuckled coldly, "They do not matter to my Elixir Valley. Jiang Chen, if it weren't for Elder Fu praising your alchemy skills and strongly recommending you, do you think you'd still be alive now?"

Jiang Chen glanced indifferently at Tian Chong and then turned to bow to Fu Lengfeng, "Thank you Elder Fu for the recommendation, but there's no need for it. If Elixir Valley wants to investigate last time's matter, I, Jiang Chen, will bear it."

"Of course!" After a pause, Jiang Chen turned to Tian Chong and said coldly, "If I find out that last time's matter had anything to do with Elixir Valley, I will personally go to Elixir Valley for an explanation!"

"Mr. Jiang." Fu Lengfeng's expression changed slightly, bowing with cupped hands, "That matter truly was not..."

"Haha! Haha... going to Elixir Valley for an explanation? Haha!"

A burst of laughter interrupted Fu Lengfeng, and Tian Chong looked at Jiang Chen mockingly, "This is the funniest joke I've ever heard! Jiang Chen, who do you think you are, huh? Going to Elixir Valley for an explanation? It's known throughout the Martial Dao World, better to provoke Flame Dragon than Elixir Valley!"

Pointing at Supreme Hu Sha, Tian Chong taunted, "Ask this Flame Dragon Supreme if he dares to touch Elixir Valley. Even the Flame Dragon Group dares not provoke our Elixir Valley. Who are you? Bragging here, is your reputation built on mere words?"

"Our Flame Dragon Group dares not provoke Elixir Valley?"

Buzz!

Supreme Hu Sha spoke coldly, a chilling murderous aura suddenly arose from his body, and he stared intently at Tian Chong, "Kid, say that again for me?"

Tian Chong's expression changed, a dash of panic appeared in his eyes. He had counted on the fact that the Flame Dragon Group had moved against all the families except the Huangluo Clan and Elixir Valley, but the icy killing intent from Supreme Hu Sha made him suddenly realize that things might not be as he thought!

"Tian Chong, apologize to Supreme Hu Sha!" Fu Lengfeng shouted coldly.

Jiang Chen grinned, looking playfully at Tian Chong.

Tian Chong's eyes showed a hint of struggle, and sensing Jiang Chen's gaze, his face felt burning hot.

However, Tian Chong knew well why the Flame Dragon Group did not move against Elixir Valley. Originally, it was just a momentary delight without much thought, but now provoked by Supreme Hu Sha's murderous intent, he realized he did misspeak!

"Supreme Hu Sha, I apologize, I misspoke."

Tian Chong said apologetically with a difficult expression, then said in a low voice, "However, Supreme Hu Sha, given the current situation, will the Flame Dragon Group really take action against my Elixir Valley?"

Supreme Hu Sha narrowed his eyes slightly, giving Tian Chong a deep look, and gradually retracted his aura.

Tian Chong's mouth curled into a victorious smile, turning to look at Jiang Chen with a face full of pride, as if saying, did you see, the Flame Dragon Group dares not provoke my Elixir Valley!

"Whether the Flame Dragon Group dares to provoke Elixir Valley or not, what does that have to do with me? I, Jiang Chen, act purely by my own will. Whether or not I attend the Elixir Valley Pill Conference is entirely up to me, not for you to decide."

Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, unfazed by Tian Chong's childish demeanor.

Tian Chong's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Jiang Chen, if you dare not come, my Elixir Valley will level your Dingyun Lake Manor!"

"Heh heh!" Jiang Chen sneered coldly, "Such big talk!"

"In the Flame Dragon Martial Arts World, my Elixir Valley rules like the heavens! I see you don't understand Elixir Valley?"

Tian Chong said with arrogance, "My Elixir Valley has been established for over two thousand years and has always focused on elixir refining and cultivation. Which family or sect in the Martial Dao World hasn't received gifts from my Elixir Valley? At a call from Elixir Valley, at least eighty percent of the Martial Dao World would respond—do you think you alone can contend with eighty percent of the Martial Dao World's forces?"

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, looking in surprise at Supreme Hu Sha. He truly hadn't expected that Elixir Valley still held such influential power!

Supreme Hu Sha nodded gently, which was also why the Flame Dragon Group had always been lenient with Elixir Valley.

Elixir Valley's influence was too great. At one time, it was the only elixir-producing force in the Martial Dao World. During the sweeping attack a hundred years ago, all major forces could tolerate their own homes being ransacked, but they would never allow the Flame Dragon Group to sweep Elixir Valley, because everyone knew very well if Flame Dragon Group swept Elixir Valley, they truly wouldn't have any chance against the looming threat!

Medicine Saint's face changed slightly, with a hint of sadness in his expression, while his eyes reflected a trace of reminiscence!

Fu Lengfeng also showed a look of pride, though it was a pure sense of pride, unlike the ostentatious arrogance of Tian Chong!

"Jiang Chen!"

Seeing the astonished look on Jiang Chen's face, Tian Chong smiled evilly, "So, do you now understand the might of my Elixir Valley?"

Jiang Chen glanced at Tian Chong and said calmly, "So what?"

"So what? Jiang Chen, you're truly the type who won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"

Tian Chong sneered coldly, "Do you know what eighty percent of the Martial Dao World means? It means that even the Flame Dragon Group doesn't have that many martial artists. Their spit alone could drown you!"

Supreme Hu Sha frowned, giving Tian Chong a displeased look.

Medicine Saint, however, looked at Tian Chong and then stared fixedly at Fu Lengfeng, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

What's going on? Did Lengfeng bring this kid here just to suppress Young Jiang?

And when he entered, why did he pretend not to recognize me? Just now when Ling'er returned from school, his expression changed slightly, but he immediately calmed down, what's the reason for that? Does he not acknowledge this grandniece either?

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and shook his head, "Tian Chong, is it? Can you just get to the point? What's the use of saying all this? What exactly do you want to say?"

"Fine, I'll get to the point!"

Tian Chong paused slightly, revealing a proud smile, and pretended to be humble, "So you surrender early! My demands aren't high, just two conditions: first, attend this Elixir Valley's Pill Conference, and second..."

Saying this, he glanced at the direction where Ye Jingyi left.
