"Eight-Headed Venerable, he helped us refine crystals with immense life energy, so we no longer have to worry about our lifespan. What does all this mean?"

The elder ancestor continued to speak grandly in the sky: "This means the Flame Dragon Group aims to destroy martial arts, whereas the Soul Eater Group, which you dominant forces define as a terrifying organization, is actually here to promote the prosperity of martial arts!"

Jiang Chen, upon hearing this, was furious!

He looked up and angrily yelled at the group of elder ancestors in the sky: "Old Ancestor, let me ask you, do you know what Eight-Headed Serpent uses to refine life energy crystals? He uses the lives of the martial artists, the lives of secular people! Do you know how many people must die to refine one life energy crystal? Do you know how many died during their gene potion experiments?"

"Dead is dead!"

Another elder ancestor responded coldly: "A bunch of secular people, a bunch of low-realm martial artists, so what if they're dead? As long as we don't die, martial arts can exist forever!"

Jiang Chen was taken aback, gazing at the elder ancestor who spoke these words in utter disbelief, unable to comprehend how he could say such a thing!

Did he really believe he was nobler than other ordinary people?

Were the lives of others deemed worthless to him?

"Old Ancestor, how could you say such things, don't you have a conscience...?" Jiang Chen roared out in anger.

Whoosh!

Old Master Tang flew up, hovered next to Jiang Chen, patted his shoulder to stop his outburst, and sighed lightly: "What I feared has still happened! I should have known when I saw only people from the hidden sects aside from ourselves!"

"What do you mean?!" Jiang Chen frowned and looked at Old Master Tang.

Yan Hu and the others also leaped next to Jiang Chen, puzzled, staring at Old Master Tang, while the other elder masters and Lin Jiuxiao, Mo Tianze seemed slightly dim, lacking any expression of confusion.

"They are from hidden sects, since Flame Dragon established its nation, they've never entered the worldly affairs."

Old Master Tang said with a grim tone: "In their hearts, they still hold the martial artist mindset from before the Flame Dragon established its nation, secular people's lives are worthless, the lives of low-realm martial artists are also worthless! In their eyes, it's the belief that the strong reign supreme, the weak have no voice! Plus, in the eyes of the hidden sects, Flame Dragon Group is their absolute mortal enemy!"

"This..."

Jiang Chen was struck heavily in the heart, eyes revealing a shocked expression!

Brows furrowed tightly, Jiang Chen glanced at the hidden sect members below, whose expressions shifted from confusion to enlightenment, as his heart sank to the depths!

He understood! Completely understood!

This Elixir Valley Pill Conference, its target was never the entire martial dao world, their real focus was simply targeting him and his group!

If he died, turmoil would inevitably appear in the Flame Dragon's business realm, could those import and export channels he controlled be guarded as fiercely as they are now?

And these beneficiaries of the Soul Devouring Group's favor are the ancestors of these people below! With these ancestors coming forward to speak, what would these hidden sect members think?

They are from hidden sects! Even more deeply hidden than hidden families, never having interacted with the three major organizations!

They harbor no hatred towards the three major organizations, once their ancestors say the three major organizations are good, what would they think?!

If the Sect Master of Chixiao Sect and the family heads, elder masters, and Sect Masters of the Five Great Families all died here, would these forces still pose a threat to the Soul Devouring Group?

And with these ancient ancestors from hidden sects appearing here, they surely won't return to hiding, what would they do?

If they gain control of the martial dao world along the river, wouldn't that directly equate to the Soul Devouring Group controlling the Flame Dragon's martial dao world along the river?!

"Ladies and gentlemen, you've seen it, the Five Great Families Along the River will surely be with..."

Liu Wenjian ignored Jiang Chen and others, with over a dozen Venerable Realm pinnacle experts here watching them closely, escape was impossible!

"Ladies and gentlemen, kill these Flame Dragon Group lapdogs, keep Jiang Chen as our bargaining chip with the Flame Dragon Group! We absolutely cannot let the Flame Dragon Group destroy the martial dao world!"

Liu Wenjian shouted loudly, turned coldly to look at Jiang Chen and the others, and commanded: "Elixir Valley regarding the elder group, lead by example!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Nearly a hundred experts jumped out from the direction of the Inner Valley of Elixir Valley, all possessing strengths above the Venerable Realm!

"Kill!"

Liu Wenjian pointed at Jiang Chen and the others, shouting.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a faint rumbling sound began to echo from afar!

Jiang Chen's heart sank sharply, and he instinctively looked towards the direction the sound was coming from.

"Jiang Chen, what are you searching for? Are you looking for those you arranged? Are you waiting for Elder Long to bring the Flame Dragon Group people to rescue you?"

Zhao Xianping sneered: "Don't expect it! They've already been blocked by the Soul Devouring Group's friends on the way here, you all are completely isolated now! If you're wise, surrender immediately, perhaps we can give you a chance to redeem yourselves! Otherwise... humph!"

Jiang Chen and others' expressions turned thoroughly unsightly, the unfolding situation had completely exceeded their expectations, catching them all off guard!

"Otherwise what?!"

Boom!

An angry shout rang out, a villa in the Inner Valley of Elixir Valley abruptly exploded, a figure flew out, quickly arriving above the square.

"Valley Master!"

"Big Brother!"

Fu Tianbo, Fu Lengfeng, Tian Bujie, Hu Ziyang shouted in surprise, joyfully leaping to Fu Lengjun's side.

"It's the old Valley Master!"

"It's really the old Valley Master!"

"Didn't the old Valley Master die?"

"This, what's going on?!"

The elders and disciples of Elixir Valley exclaimed in shock.

Among the elders and disciples, some people's expressions changed drastically, their eyes flashing with panic.

"Impossible!"

"How did you break free from control?!"

Zhao Xianping, Chen Tian shouted in surprise.

Liu Wenjian, Zhu Jiaming also had drastic changes in their expressions, eyes revealing shock.

Old ancestors and disciples from hidden sects looked at Fu Lengjun with disheveled hair in the sky, full of confusion.

"A bunch of despicable scoundrels who claim righteousness while conducting sinister deeds!"

Fu Lengjun coldly glanced at Liu Wenjian and a few others, turned to the dozen elder ancestors of Venerable Realm pinnacle:

"Ladies and gentlemen, can you truly not discern right from wrong? Do you really believe the Soul Devouring Group seeks to make the martial dao world prosperous? Do you truly believe the actions of Flame Dragon Group were absolutely wrong? Do you genuinely think Flame Dragon Group and the Holy Court aim to prevent the dawn of a new era and destroy martial arts?"

A host of elder ancestors glanced at each other, their eyes flickered momentarily, a small portion lowered their heads.

"He's not the old Valley Master! He's disguised! The old Valley Master is dead, he's impersonating!"

Liu Wenjian's eyes displayed panic, loudly shouting.
