"In this battle, if it weren't for Mr. Jiang's surge, how many of us would have died? Would you and I have also perished in this battle? Mr. Jiang risked his life to help reduce the enemy's pressure for us and eliminated Fa'erxi, and you still want to snatch this bit of spoils?"
Fa Rang looked at Brian and spoke solemnly.
Guilt suddenly surged in Brian's eyes, and he felt a burning pain on his face.
Turning to glance at Wu Qianxun and the others, Brian said apologetically, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I was greedy!"
Wu Qianxun and the others exchanged a glance, didn't dwell on the issue, and looked up expectantly towards the center of the island, hoping to see Jiang Chen and the others emerge safely.
Fa Rang and the others also fell silent, all looking expectantly at the center of the island!
Buzz buzz buzz!
Suddenly, a few powerful auras crashed against the barrier set by everyone, and violent energies came through from the outside, causing the mist to churn tumultuously!
"It's Lord Dragon Saint, His Holiness the Pope, Lord Da Lipu, Lord Qi Shaxing, and the Eight-Headed's aura!" Fa Rang's expression changed as he spoke in a low voice.
"Luckily! Luckily, Lord Dragon Saint and the others stopped the Eight Headed!" Wu Qianxun exclaimed with relief.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
All could feel that the battle location was not far from this island, and if Dragon Saint and the others hadn't intercepted the Eight Headed, they might all die here!
Swish swish!
Two figures leaped from the center of the island and landed beside Wu Qianxun and the others.
"Young Master!"
"Chief Instructor!"
"Mr. Jiang!"
Everyone's faces lit up with joy and greeted them.
"Young Master, the Eight-Headed is here, do you want to avoid it?" Wu Qianxun asked softly.
"Avoid?!" Fa Rang looked at Jiang Chen with surprise.
Jiang Chen said softly, "Mr. Fa Rang, please tell the brothers in the Holy Court not to expose the news that I'm alive. The Soul Devouring Group is once again targeting the Flame Dragon Martial Arts World; if I'm dead, they'll lower their guard, which will make our operations more unexpected!"
"I understand!"
Fa Rang was initially stunned, then suddenly realized Jiang Chen's internal power traits, immediately understanding: "Good! I will instruct them, and then it depends on you being the surprise force!"
"Ah?"
Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback by the underlying meaning in Fa Rang's words.
"His Holiness the Pope mentioned to us that during the contest of the Flame Dragon Kingdom Martial Arts Tournament, our Holy Court will also participate!" Fa Rang said with a light smile.
"That's really appreciated!" Jiang Chen spoke joyfully.
Fa Rang waved his hand, "Mr. Jiang, please don't say that, since you are to be a surprise force, it's better to avoid for now!"
Jiang Chen nodded lightly and turned to look at You Xuan, "Elder You, I can't let the Eight-Headed sense my Divine Soul aura, check the situation outside."
"Okay!"
You Xuan nodded, glanced at Fa Rang and the others, then emitted a thread of Soul Force to probe beyond the mist.
Jiang Chen also glanced at Fa Rang and the others, feeling something strange alongside You Xuan. You Xuan had reverted to a middle-aged appearance; doesn't anyone find it curious? Moreover, that life energy is so immense, everyone should have felt it, right? But why do they act as if they haven't felt anything?!
Slightly puzzled, Jiang Chen turned his eyes, communicating with Wu Qianxun at his side.
Wu Qianxun communicated back about what had just happened.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, glanced at Brian, and smiled at Fa Rang.
Fa Rang blinked, exchanged a glance with Wu Qianxun and the others, understood something, and returned Jiang Chen an apologetic smile.
"Lord Xue!"
You Xuan spoke softly, "Outside, Dragon Saint, the Pope, Da Lipu, Qi Shaxing are fighting against three Saint Realm Peak Black Mist Serpents, but I feel Dragon Saint and the others seem wary of the skies, Qi Shaxing is in a state ready to disengage at any time, implying someone else is hidden above!"
"With Dragon Saint Senior being so wary, at least one more Black Mist Serpent of Saint Realm Peak strength should be there. Four of them, together, we might kill them, but if one escapes, my living status will be leaked, and their infiltration will become more stealthy!" Jiang Chen murmured softly.
Everyone frowned upon hearing this, weighing the pros and cons alongside Jiang Chen's logic!
After a few breaths, Jiang Chen gently shook his head, "No, killing these Black Mist Serpents is futile, I still can't go out."
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chen inspected the barriers set by everyone, and said softly, "Everyone keep blocking the aura, I'll look for the formation base of this formation to see if I can control it!"
"Alright!"
Everyone nodded in unison.
Swish!
Jiang Chen's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a word of caution, "Elder You, don't go out yet, wait until I control the formation then go out."
"Okay!" You Xuan nodded lightly.
...
Outside the grand formation.
Dragon Saint, the Pope, and Da Lipu were entangling the three Black Mist Serpents with all their might, while Qi Shaxing hovered on the side, occasionally delivering a surprise attack, each time hitting and pulling back instantly!
Buzz!
A subtle Soul Force emerged from the mist, Dragon Saint and the others showed slight changes in their expressions, unconsciously glancing at the mist.
"Old man of the Shadow Clan, what are you doing inside? Get out!" shouted a Black Mist Serpent loudly.
The Soul Force rotated around and then returned to the mist.
"Pope, Da Lipu, Qi Shaxing, do you see this? You're being manipulated by Dragon Saint and the old man of the Shadow Clan. This is a base of the Gene Organization, holding immense life force inside, and the Shadow Clan might be absorbing it right now, while you foolishly guard the gate here! It's utterly ridiculous!"
The Black Mist Serpent spoke again with mocking accusations.
The Pope's expression did not change, while Da Lipu and Qi Shaxing showed slight changes in their faces, but said nothing, continuing the combat as required, and maintaining vigilance on the skies above as needed.
"Eight Headed, stop your petty tricks; trying to divide us, that's a daydream!" Dragon Saint spoke coldly.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Suddenly, the mist above the island started to tremble and gradually dissipated while the surrounding mist slowly converged towards a single place.
Swish!
A figure surged towards the sky, launching a fierce attack on a Black Mist Serpent.
Buzz!
A powerful aura erupted from the high skies, sweeping across the entire island, and then it disappeared.
"The old ghost of the Shadow Clan, turned youthful! How much life force have you absorbed? Pope, your people are also in there. It seems Da Lipu and Qi Shaxing are only being used as tools! Haha! Won't play with you anymore!"
A Black Mist Serpent ridiculed with a laugh.
