"Yeah, Jiang Chen, we can wait!"
"Jiang Chen, please don't let yourself get hurt anymore, okay?"
Gong Lin and Yè Yùwǎn both looked up at Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with tenderness and a hint of worry.
Jiang Chen gave a slight smile and nodded gently, "Okay!"
Ding ding ding!
The phone rang, Jiang Chen frowned, an expression of disgust appearing in his eyes.
The constant conflicts had truly exhausted him, and he didn't have much confidence in the impending great battle. He always felt that the Eight-Headed might be brewing some big move, and this sense of the unknown made him a bit uneasy.
It was precisely this unknown feeling that brought about a sense of crisis, prompting him to bring Ye Jingyi and the others, along with his family, here.
The formation covering the entire island had been restored by Jiang Chen. Although there wasn't enough suitable energy to activate all of them, the ones that could be activated were enough to make Jiang Chen feel at ease with pursuing his own matters!
"Answer it!" Ye Jingyi noticed the revulsion in Jiang Chen's eyes, felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and a hint of worry flickered in her eyes, but she still advised gently.
Jiang Chen nodded, took out his phone, glanced at it, and answered, "Hello, Wen Jie."
"Boss, all problematic accounts have been locked to their addresses. I've sent them to your phone. There's no movement from the Soul Devouring Group, but various forces have started targeting those distributing the Mutant Gene Potions within their countries!"
"Good!"
Jiang Chen nodded and softly instructed, "Have Ying Zi and Elder Yao bring the collected herbs and all the classics here to me. You immediately take Yan Ran to Jincheng. Don't ask why, just act."
"Alright!"
After hanging up, Jiang Chen opened the information Zhang Wenjie sent and frowned slightly, murmuring softly, "Didn't expect, they actually..."
Gently closing his eyes, Jiang Chen shifted slightly, finding a more comfortable position to lean against Ye Jingyi's shoulder.
Ye Jingyi and the other two women said nothing more, enjoying this final peaceful moment. All three knew that Zhang Wenjie's call had completely shattered their brief tranquility!
At this moment, major powers worldwide began strictly searching for any remnants of the Gene Organization, no longer just driving them away but directly killing them!
A worldwide purge of Gene Organization members officially commenced, and the public opinion war Jiang Chen orchestrated had achieved its first target.
That afternoon, Ying Zi covertly brought a team to the island through the Gale Pirates' channels.
In the main villa at the center of the island, Ying Zi, Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, and the Medicine Saint sat across from each other.
"Young Jiang, you're not confident in this battle?" The Medicine Saint looked up at Jiang Chen, eyes showing a glint of concern.
Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, "Elder Yao, why would you say that?"
"Do you think you're hiding it well?"
The Medicine Saint cast a sidelong glance at Jiang Chen, "You secretly sent Ling'er to the Lou Family; a bunch of old guys from Elixir Valley were sent to Unchanging Valley, and you all came here. Although Dingyun Lake Manor is still heavily guarded with Senior You Xuan stationed there, it no longer has any burdens. By setting up like this, aren't you just waiting for someone to attack? Don't you think you can't withstand the enemy's assault?"
"Elder Yao, it's not about not being able to withstand an assault; I'm just taking precautions!"
Jiang Chen gazed at the stairs leading upstairs and said softly, "If I don't arrange for them properly, I can't go to the Martial Dao conference with peace of mind."
"Can you tell me who you're guarding against?"
The Medicine Saint frowned at Jiang Chen, always sensing that Jiang Chen was cautious not only against the three major organizations but also some of his own people. This time, Jiang Chen practically emptied Dingyun Lake Manor, and no one who wasn't involved in the action was informed of his plan.
Jiang Chen fell silent, then said softly, "Elder Yao, for now... I'm not sure if they are enemies. Let's see if we can find any clues after reviewing all the classics."
"You're suspecting..." The Medicine Saint was slightly stunned, eyes flashing with surprise.
Jiang Chen glanced at the Medicine Saint and nodded lightly.
The Medicine Saint's face darkened. If Jiang Chen's suspicion was accurate, it would be terrifying—could there really be an infiltrator within the alliance?
"What could his purpose be? Everyone is... genuinely risking their lives against the three major organizations!" The Medicine Saint couldn't help but ask.
Ying Zi and Yan Hu exchanged looks, both frowning as they gleaned insights from the conversation.
"Elder Yao, have you noticed that our battles against the three major organizations have consistently weakened the Martial Dao World?" Jiang Chen looked at the Medicine Saint with significant intent.
The Medicine Saint's eyes widened suddenly, exclaiming, "You mean to say... they're paving the way?!"
"It's very possible!" Jiang Chen nodded heavily.
"Bastards! Those bastards! Don't let me find out who it is!" The Medicine Saint's eyes blazed with fury.
Jiang Chen sighed softly and said solemnly, "Now I'm a bit afraid. What if... what if we do find out someone among them... how should I deal with it?"
Hearing this, the Medicine Saint fell silent.
"After the news of my death spread, what was the situation like over at Leng Ming's side?" Jiang Chen looked up at the Medicine Saint.
The Medicine Saint said softly, "Upon receiving news of your death, the Grand Elders couldn't hold back; they all went to find Leng Ming. All problem-prone secluded families or Sects were purged, then they returned to their families to fully prepare for the Martial Dao conference."
Jiang Chen nodded at these words, a trace of contemplation in his eyes.
"However, Senior Zhou Wanchen mentioned one thing. He said that during the annihilation of several forces, he sensed a faint Saint Realm aura, but after searching, he found nothing!" The Medicine Saint reminded.
Jiang Chen squinted slightly, asking softly, "When eliminating those forces with Saint Realm aura, did Senior Zhou take action?"
"No, while Leng Ming and the others acted, he was searching for the detected Saint Realm aura. The forces' Saint Realm members were dealt with by the Grand Elders!" The Medicine Saint answered softly.
A complex expression flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, and he nodded lightly, "Alright, let them prepare for battle. No further actions are needed for now!"
"What are your plans for Mi Jiaro?" The Medicine Saint asked in a low voice.
Yan Hu and Ying Zi exchanged a glance, both looking at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen had arranged for the three women and his family to stay here without even informing the Flame Dragon Group, yet he brought Mi Jiaro.
It truly puzzled them.
