Ling Piaofeng's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in a low voice, "Could he also be someone from an ancient sect?!"

"We can't rule out that possibility. Let's go back to the sect!"

Young Master Zhan nodded heavily and stepped towards the door of the banquet hall. Today's birthday banquet was definitely not going to happen!

"Young Master Ling, Young Master Ling, take me with you, take me with you, save me!" Wang Lili suddenly clung to Ling Piaofeng's leg; he was her last hope!

Bang!

With a dull thud, Ling Piaofeng kicked Wang Lili in the stomach, sending her flying nearly ten meters into the air. If not for the high ceiling of the banquet hall, she would have hit it.

"Bastard! You think I don't know you've been deceiving me? Damn it, you wretched woman!" Ling Piaofeng yelled angrily, turned around, and followed Young Master Zhan out of the banquet hall.

Thud!

Crack!

Wang Lili's body crashed heavily to the ground, with the sound of bones breaking.

Puh!

As she opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, Wang Lili's head tilted to the side, and she fainted straight away.

"This is..."

"It feels like something is about to happen!"

"Did the Jiang Family of Jincheng's Family Head just declare war with Young Master Zhan?!"

"Let's go, hurry up and report back to the family!"

The remaining guests in the banquet hall all cried out in alarm and hurriedly left the hall.

...

Jiang Family Courtyard of Jincheng, guest lounge!

Yu Wan went to handle the manager's affairs, leaving Jiang Chen, Jiang Minglong, Song Wanqiu, Yue Zhenfeng, the eldest son, and Long Weijiang seated in the guest lounge.

"Mr. Jiang, your decision just now was reckless!" The eldest son spoke, frowning lightly.

Jiang Chen glanced at the eldest son calmly and said softly, "Did the elder ever tell you about the matters of the previous era?"

"The previous era?" The eldest son was slightly surprised and said with a mocking tone, "Mr. Jiang, you don't really think the previous era will actually reappear, do you?"

Jiang Chen remained silent, staring directly at the eldest son, his expression gradually becoming serious.

The eldest son's smile slowly stiffened on his face, and after glancing around, he noticed that the expressions of Jiang Minglong, Yue Zhenfeng, and Long Weijiang had turned solemn upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, with only Song Wanqiu looking completely bewildered.

Frowning tightly, the eldest son said in a deep voice, "Is it really possible for the previous era to reappear?!"

"What is the previous era?" Song Wanqiu asked in confusion.

Jiang Chen looked at Song Wanqiu, pondered for a moment, and took out his phone to dial a number.

"Buzz... buzz... Hello, Mr. Jiang, I've heard about the situation. Are you planning to probe Yunpiao Sect's foundation this time?" an elderly voice came over the receiver.

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If this elder were also unaware of the matters of the previous era, it would truly be troublesome, especially considering that Young Master Zhan had been as renowned as the eldest son and the military son for so long!

"Old Master Song!" Jiang Chen said solemnly, "You're right; I intend to probe Yunpiao Sect's foundation!"

Song Wanqiu was taken aback while a deep doubt surfaced in the eldest son's eyes.

"We have been hesitating to make a choice because we don't know whether we should act against Yunpiao Sect. If we act, then..." Old Master Song's hesitant voice came through the receiver.

Jiang Chen interrupted, "I understand why you're not acting, and if you do act, if that era truly arrives and the sect behind Yunpiao Sect is exceedingly powerful, then Flame Dragon will be in danger!"

"Mr. Jiang, it's good that you understand!" came Old Master Song's relieved voice from the receiver.

"However, I don't quite understand why neither of you have mentioned the matters of that era to the eldest son and Miss Song. They've been renowned together with the three sons and the one princess for such a long time, surely they've unraveled quite a few things, at least the eldest son..." Jiang Chen frowned, speaking full of doubt, but suddenly stopped, a sudden realization crossing his eyes; "I understand!"

"Haha! I knew you'd figure it out."

Old Master Song's appreciative voice came through the receiver, "Mr. Jiang, you are the fortune bearer, the cutting edge, the national treasure, and the hero of the nation! We make our decisions based on what is right for Flame Dragon and the people of Flame Dragon, no matter if we are misunderstood or cursed; however, now, we truly fear being misunderstood by you. If you misunderstand us, Flame Dragon... will truly be in trouble!"

"Will truly be in trouble!" Jiang Chen repeated Old Master Song's words, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"I'm going to tell you something now. Do not let anyone know; this is our trump card for the Flame Dragon, and it also serves as a contingency for you. Do not choose to fight to the death like Elixir Valley; your presence is of the utmost importance!" Old Master Song's grave voice came through the receiver.

Jiang Chen was slightly puzzled, glancing at the seated people, and said softly, "Please hold on a moment."

Buzz!

A powerful aura emerged, manipulating the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy to seal off Jiang Chen alone.

Everyone was taken aback, exchanging glances in silence. They already guessed who Jiang Chen was talking to, and Jiang Chen did this because Old Master Song was about to say something they were not supposed to know.

Despite being princes and princesses, there are plenty of secrets even they are not privy to regarding Flame Dragon!

Swish, swish, swish!

Yan Hu and Ying Zi rushed into the guest lounge, pausing at the sight of the scene.

Swish, swish!

Immediately afterward, two more figures charged into the guest lounge.

"Supreme Hu Sha!"

"Elder Fang!"

Yan Hu and the others bowed to the newcomers.

Supreme Hu Sha glanced at the eldest son and the military son, frowning, "What happened here? Why are you all here?"

The eldest son softly explained the events at the club and what had just happened.

Supreme Hu Sha raised an eyebrow and spoke in a deep voice, "Do not resist!"

Buzz!

An overwhelming aura filled the guest lounge as Supreme Hu Sha used his own aura to drive the surrounding Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, placing a layer of restraint on everyone present, including himself,

Afterward, he shrouded the entire guest lounge.

Jiang Chen raised his head to look at the newcomers but did not pay them any mind and continued listening carefully to Old Master Song's words.

"Mr. Jiang, when that era arrives, our Flame Dragon will not be without strong allies."

"And this ally is most likely to follow your orders. If you didn't appear, they might follow our orders, but you have appeared."

"Dragon Saint Senior and Long Dingtian Senior both know of your existence, so you are the leader of that ally. If something happens to you, Flame Dragon will not be able to explain to that ally!"

"So in the future, do not fight to the death. If..."

"I'm saying if, if one day things become so dire that you have to fight to the death, then I hope you can designate a successor and pass on a strand of your Dragon Soul and a drop of Essence Blood to them, as that ally only recognizes the possessor of both these things!"
