Above the mountainside platform.

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen, waiting for his answer.

Jiang Chen looked at the speaking Black Mist Serpent with an expressionless face, his gaze incomparably indifferent. No one could read the answer from Jiang Chen's face.

"Jiang Chen, why? Do you plan to sacrifice your woman and your family? Why do you cultivate? Why build your forces? Why make yourself stronger continuously? Isn't your ultimate goal to give your woman and family a stable life? If they all die, what meaning does your cultivation have? Is your life still worth living?"

The Black Mist Serpent spoke again, its eyes filled with mocking expression.

"Mr. Jiang, don't let him affect you. He's trying to disturb your mindset! Your family will be fine!"

Da Lipu spoke urgently. All four major powers had brought their elite forces, but Da Lipu had the least confidence in Jiang Chen. He believed in Jiang Chen's plan and their combat strength, but had no faith in what choice Jiang Chen would make.

Because, he was the one who understood Jiang Chen the least!

Although he befriended Jiang Chen earlier than Qi Shaxing, he didn't understand Jiang Chen as much as Qi Shaxing did, nor was he as carefree as Qi Shaxing!

At this moment, Qi Shaxing wasn't even considering what choice Jiang Chen would make but was secretly recovering the spiritual power expended in battle, preparing to fight again. It didn't matter who he fought as long as he was in the battle!

The Dragon Saint, the Pope, and others were also recovering their spiritual power. They thought simply, no matter what choice Jiang Chen made, they would support him. They believed Jiang Chen wouldn't attack them, but they couldn't completely guarantee Jiang Chen wouldn't withdraw from battle due to the influence of Ye Jingyi and others!

"Jiang Chen, have you made your choice?"

The Black Mist Serpent urged.

Jiang Chen glanced at the Black Mist Serpent, then suddenly smiled, "What choice do I have to make? I'm just waiting."

"Waiting for what?!" The Black Mist Serpent asked in surprise.

Jiang Chen's eyes showed a hint of mockery, "I'm waiting for everyone to recover their spiritual power! We've been through a battle, and you all just appeared. It's not fair. Isn't it more fair to wait for everyone to recover and then fight?"

"You... you don't care about your woman and family?" The Black Mist Serpent shouted sharply, its eyes showing a hint of darkness.

"I do care! But didn't you attack the Dingyun Lake Manor?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Of course! Five Saint Realm Peak experts took on Dingyun Lake Villa. Do you think just You Xuan can stop them?"

The Black Mist Serpent's eyes showed a hint of doubt, "The Jiang Family of Jincheng no longer has your direct bloodline. Aren't they all at Dingyun Lake Manor? Your manor is guarded by dozens of Venerable Realm experts, and You Xuan, a Saint Realm Peak expert, isn't it to protect your family and woman?"

"Five Saint Realm Peak experts? Where did the Soul Devouring Group get so many experts!?"

"Yeah! Where did they get so many experts!?"

"Are they the ancestors of major powers?"

"These old bastards! They've forgotten their ancestors!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise and then angrily cursed as they realized something.

"You're so naive!"

A voice shouted, and everyone turned to look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen grinned, "Have you heard of the saying 'a cunning rabbit has three burrows'? My home, Jiang Chen, is both the Jiang Family of Jincheng and Dingyun Lake Manor, and this is well-known. Do you think I would leave my weak points in well-known places at such a crucial battle?"

"Dingyun Lake Villa indeed has dozens of Venerable Realm experts. I can even tell you the exact number: there are thirty-six Venerable Realm experts. Does the number thirty-six remind you of anything?"

The Black Mist Serpent showed a hint of confusion, "What does the number thirty-six remind you of?"

"You're so stupid!" Jiang Chen showed a helpless expression and turned to look at Mi Jiaro, "Mi Jiaro, do you remember what I taught you?"

"I remember!"

Mi Jiaro separated from the people of the Holy Court and leaped beside Jiang Chen, looking at the Black Mist Serpent with pride, "Big bug, let me teach you. There are thirty-six constellations, and according to these thirty-six constellations, Flame Dragon martial arts seniors developed a battle array called the Tiangang Battle Array! Understand?"

"Tiangang Battle Array?"

The Black Mist Serpent was slightly startled and laughed, "Ha! Ha! Ha... Jiang Chen, do you think that just You Xuan and some so-called Tiangang Battle Array can stop five Saint Realm Peak experts?"

"There's no need to stop them!"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow with a teasing look, "They just need to... be able to run."

"Able to run?"

The Black Mist Serpent was dumbfounded.

...

Dingyun Lake Manor.

Inside the manor walls, there were six patrol guards.

The vast manor had only thirty-six guards, which could only be considered a common wealthy family's configuration. However, even the richest man in Flame Dragon couldn't have thirty-six guards of this level because these people were all top-level Venerable Realm late-stage experts!

The entire Dingyun Lake Manor was already empty, except for these thirty-six Venerable Realm experts and You Xuan, who was drinking tea in the central villa's living room.

Thirty-six Venerable Realm late-stage experts were enough to destroy any power without Saint Realm experts. Jiang Chen assigned them a task, but not to complete it here. Their instruction was to wait for the command. If someone truly came, Jiang Chen only gave them one word for dealing with it.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Five overwhelming auras rapidly approached Dingyun Lake Manor from a distance.

In the central villa of the manor, You Xuan calmly put down the teacup, circulated his internal Qi, and shouted, "Run!"

Whizz whizz whizz!

The thirty-six received the order, instantly channeling their internal Qi to the extreme and soared into the sky.

"Trying to escape? Stay here!"

A loud shout echoed, and the five Saint Realm experts launched an attack across the distance.

Swish!

A figure abruptly appeared in the sky, You Xuan looked sternly at the incoming five attacks and couldn't help but admire in his heart.

Lord Xue truly has divine foresight!

He said at least four or five people, and indeed, five people came! Five Saint Realm Peak experts, these old bastards truly hold me in high regard!

Buzz buzz buzz!

A powerful soul force suddenly emitted from You Xuan, a tiny figure flew out of the dantian and floated beside You Xuan.

At the same time, the thirty-six Venerable Realm experts floated in a special formation on the other side of You Xuan, seriously watching the five attacks coming swiftly towards them.

"Heh!"

As the five attacks were about to land, You Xuan shouted and, together with the Second Soul, launched their palms!

Buzz buzz buzz!

The space shook violently, and four massive palms appeared in front of You Xuan, fiercely meeting the opponent's four attacks.
