Hotel Supreme No.1 Presidential Suite.

Jiang Chen and others sat around in the living room.

"Supreme Ming Que, how did you get trapped in the Yunpiao Sect?" Jiang Chen asked, puzzled, looking at Supreme Ming Que.

Supreme Ming Que hesitated for a moment, then stood and bowed deeply toward Jiang Chen, "Young Jiang, thank you for avenging my husband, son, and daughter-in-law!"

Jiang Chen stood up to support Supreme Ming Que and asked in surprise, "Your husband, son, and daughter-in-law?"

"Yes!" Supreme Ming Que nodded gently.

"Sit down and let's talk!" Jiang Chen called out, and they both returned to the sofa.

After pausing in silence, Supreme Ming Que spoke with eyes reflecting recollection, "During the Flame Dragon nation's founding, we conducted a grand sweep, which was led by my husband and me."

Upon hearing this topic, the Old Patriarchs of the three hidden families' faces slightly changed.

"Back then, we discovered the Yunpiao Sect, but at that time, Yunpiao Sect had two top-tier late Saint Realm experts, one was Sun Buping, and the other was the Divine Soul trying to possess me!"

Supreme Ming Que fell into reminiscence, "After we found this out, we reported it to Lord Dragon Saint, and both Dragon Saint and Elder Long came personally, but eventually, the Yunpiao Sect matter was left unresolved!"

"After the sweep ended, my husband was tasked with guarding the southeast area, and Lord Dragon Saint arranged for an investigation of Yunpiao Sect's specific strength to ensure a thorough understanding. During another investigation, my husband, son, and daughter-in-law were killed by Yunpiao Sect's Saint Realm experts!"

Supreme Ming Que's face turned somber, "Since then, Lord Dragon Saint has forbidden me from intervening in Yunpiao Sect affairs, taking personal charge instead, and sent me abroad, fearing I might seek revenge and die for it!"

"I see!" Jiang Chen said with a complex expression, "The things you told me in Zhou Yi District were indeed your last words, asking me to take care of Su Yun while you went to the Yunpiao Sect to die, right?"

"Exactly!"

Supreme Ming Que nodded heavily, "For all these years, I haven't returned for vengeance because of Yun'er. Now that Yun'er has grown up and found someone she likes, I can go for revenge without worry!"

Yan Hu and others were momentarily stunned, looking at Jiang Chen with surprise.

Jiang Chen chuckled wryly, shaking his head slightly, "Supreme Ming Que, I..."

"I know your feelings with those three girls run deep; I won't force you to be with Yun'er. I just hope you'll help her when she encounters difficulties." Supreme Ming Que interrupted Jiang Chen, "While trapped in Yunpiao Sect, I realized some things; a forced relationship doesn't end well. Besides, if you truly agreed to be with Yun'er, I'd worry if you'd remain faithful later on!"

Jiang Chen smiled lightly, "Then I should thank Yunpiao Sect for confining you there!"

"Alright! We've figured out Supreme Ming Que's situation; let's summarize our discoveries regarding the Yunpiao Sect!" Jiang Chen glanced around, his expression becoming serious, "This time..."

"Mr Jiang, you haven't introduced this friend to us yet." The Old Patriarch interrupted Jiang Chen, gesturing towards the Shadow Ancestor sitting beside Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen paused, turning to look at the Shadow Ancestor, unsure if he'd be willing to reveal his identity.

"I am You Xuan, the ancestor of the Shadow Clan!" The Shadow Ancestor spoke softly.

"Ancestor of the Shadow Clan!?"

"Isn't the Shadow Clan's ancestor You Bitong?"

Old Patriarch, Zhou Wanchen, and Yue Tianzheng were all surprised, looking at You Xuan.

You Xuan smiled faintly, "I have been in a long sleep, just awakened about a year ago."

"Oh!"

The three nodded with a relieved expression.

"Alright, let's discuss the main issues."

Jiang Chen's expression turned serious, speaking solemnly, "During our time in Yunpiao Sect, I discovered something alarming! I fear the forces left behind from the era of gods aren't limited to just Yunpiao Sect!"

"What!?"

Old Patriarch and others looked at Jiang Chen in shock.

Jiang Chen said gravely, "You were all focused on battling at the time and might not have noticed, but Sun Buping said something during our attempt to break the formation: no forces left behind can conflict, as it violates the Divine Soul oath made when various great forces departed!"

"From this statement, it can be inferred that there are more forces left behind other than just Yunpiao Sect!"

Everyone's demeanor instantly turned serious; just dealing with one Yunpiao Sect took nearly half of the Saint Realm experts they had. If there are more such forces...

"Mr Jiang, what's your thought?" Zhou Wanchen asked seriously, everyone directing their gaze at Jiang Chen.

"We need to find all these forces; if we don't, it'll be troublesome!"

Jiang Chen said sternly, "If they're merely waiting for that era's arrival, that's one thing. My concern is whether they might have a way to hasten that era's return, or if they could be exploited by the Soul Devouring Group to stand firmly against us!"

"If they're exploited by the Soul Devouring Group, then..." Everyone's expressions changed, becoming intensely grave.

"Therefore, I hope, Old Patriarch, that your three hidden sects leverage your influence to unite all major hidden sects in seeking out those forces left over from the era of gods. Supreme Ming Que, inform the Flame Dragon Group and Elder Bai about this matter." Jiang Chen instructed solemnly.

"Alright!"

"No problem!"

The named individuals nodded heavily in agreement.

"As for what to do once found, have your people test their attitudes first when you encounter them."

Jiang Chen reminded them again before turning to Xi'er, "Chief Judge Xi'er, since the Flame Dragon era left forces behind, it's not certain that there's none lurking in the Southern Federation, so be cautious."

Xi'er's expression changed slightly, hesitating before speaking softly, "Actually... Our Holy Court is a branch force left from that era!"

"What?!"

"The Holy Court is also a force left from that era?!"

Everyone looked at Chief Judge Xi'er with surprise.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, probingly, "Chief Judge Xi'er, does the Holy Court have records of the forces left by Flame Dragon?"

"I'm not entirely sure about that; His Holiness told me after I broke through to the Saint Realm, and the original records are beyond my previous access level. Although I'm qualified now, I haven't looked into them yet!" Chief Judge Xi'er explained.

Jiang Chen said lightly, "Then I'll trouble you, Chief Judge Xi'er, to check the Holy Court's records upon your return and let me know."

"Alright!" Xi'er nodded softly.

"Young Jiang, Spirit You, when you examined the records, did you notice anything related to this matter or seemingly related materials?" Old Patriarch gently reminded.

Jiang Chen shook his head, "I only skimmed through the cultivation technique records, and haven't looked at other historical accounts of Yunpiao Sect. I'll check them out when I return to Dingjing!"

After deliberating for a while, Jiang Chen remained with You Xuan, and others returned to their rooms to rest, while Supreme Ming Que stayed seated on the sofa.

PS: Is there really a 'Finger Dance Without a Chicken' in the Finger Dance family?

What do you intend to do?

Don't think I don't know who you are!

Humph...
