"Level one battle readiness!"

Noticing that the unknown strong individuals were heading toward the base, Elder Qing suddenly shouted.

Clatter clatter!

Inside the base, the sound of bullets being loaded was heard. Some surface-to-air missile launchers began preheating and igniting while groups of Martial Artists leaped into the air, vigilantly watching their surroundings!

Buzz buzz!

The overwhelming aura drew nearer, and the brows of Ming Que and his companions furrowed tightly.

"Halt!"

Buzz!

Elder Hei shouted coldly, a chilling killing intent rising from his body.

Buzz!

Four formidable auras stopped opposite the suspension bridge at the Yunpiao Sect's base, gazing across from afar.

The visitors were four men: one young, two middle-aged, and one elderly. After stopping, they restrained their aura, posing as if visiting.

Ming Que and his companions squinted as they glanced at the four men, showing a hint of confusion.

They had heard of the world's top powerhouses, but they had no impression of these four. Their demeanor didn't seem like trouble-seeking arrivals.

"Which force do you belong to? What brings you here?"

Ming Que asked in a stern voice, his entire Spiritual Energy cycling to its peak, staring intensely at the four opposite.

"Are you people from the Flame Dragon Group of the Flame Dragon Kingdom?" The young man on the opposite side shouted loudly.

Ming Que's eyes changed slightly, nodding gently: "I am Ming Que from the Flame Dragon Group."

"Finally found you!"

The young man smiled slightly: "I'm Ling Zhiping from Fulong Mountain, and these are all my people from Fulong Mountain."

"Fulong Mountain?"

Ming Que was slightly confused, suddenly widening his eyes in tension: "Are you from the Void Netherworld?"

"What!?"

"Prepare for battle!"

Elder Qing and the other three were shocked, shouting loudly, their bodies suddenly rising with Spiritual Energy at its peak, staring intently at Ling Zhiping and his companions.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A tremendous aura suddenly erupted from Ling Zhiping and his companions, pressing heavily onto Elder Qing and the others.

Hmm!

Elder Qing and the others groaned, being forced back to the ground by the overpowering presence, their faces turning pale.

"Peak experts!? They are actually all peak experts!"

"Looks like we brothers are going to die here today!"

Elder Bai and Elder Hei spoke in a low voice, while Elder Qing quickly took out his phone to make a call.

Ming Que's eyes reflected a determination to die, speaking softly: "Xiao Yun, Wu Hen, leave here immediately, inform Mr. Jiang, that the people of the Void Netherworld attacked Yunpiao Sect, and tell them to hurry back to retake the base!"

Retake the base!

Ming Que's words made it clear they couldn't hold the base!

"Everyone, no need to be nervous!"

At this moment, Ling Zhiping's shout came through: "You have only one mid-stage Unification Realm expert, and three early-stage Unification Realm experts, while we have four peak Unification Realm Martial Artists. If we wanted to attack, you'd already be dead, wouldn't you?"

Ming Que and his companions paused, frowning; they had to admit Ling Zhiping's words were inevitable!

"We don't want to cause conflict with you; we just want to request, through your mouths, for Mr. Jiang Chen to show up for a talk. Would you do us this favor?" Ling Zhiping spoke earnestly.

Ming Que and his companions were slightly taken back, showing a hint of suspicion in their eyes.

Elder Qing shouted loudly: "What do you want with Young Jiang?"

"We want to survive, that's all!" Ling Zhiping replied without hesitation.

"Alright!"

Suddenly, a shout came from the sky.

Everyone was momentarily stunned, looking up hastily.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Over a dozen figures descended from the sky, led by a young man in his twenties.

"Young Jiang?!"

"Mr. Jiang! Lord Dragon Saint!"

"Young Jiang, you arrived just in time!"

Ming Que and the others looked at the newcomers with surprise, breathing a sigh of relief.

Jiang Chen nodded at Ming Que and his companions, then turned to look at Ling Zhiping.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Dragon Saint and the others flickered, surrounding Ling Zhiping and his companions.

Ling Zhiping and his companions were momentarily taken aback, their eyes narrowing slightly, but they remained still, calmly looking at Jiang Chen.

"Flame Dragon, Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen stated his name plainly.

Ling Zhiping was slightly surprised, scanning Jiang Chen up and down, smiling as he cupped his fists: "Fulong Mountain, Ling Zhiping. I didn't expect the renowned Mr. Jiang Chen to be so young!"

"Fulong Mountain, Li Meng!"

"Fulong Mountain, Tian Sen!"

"Fulong Mountain, Ling Wujiang!"

The other three looked at Jiang Chen with complex expressions, cupping their fists in salute.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, waving his hand.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Dragon Saint and the others leaped behind Jiang Chen, vigilantly watching Ling Zhiping and his companions.

"State your purpose!"

Jiang Chen said indifferently, looking at Ling Zhiping.

"Can we find a quiet place?"

Ling Zhiping glanced at Ming Que and the other vigilant Martial Artists in the air, speaking softly.

Jiang Chen frowned, pondering for a moment before speaking softly; "Follow me!"

Swish!

Jiang Chen flickered, heading into the base.

Ling Zhiping watched Jiang Chen's back deeply, then, with Ling Wujiang and the others, flew to follow, as Dragon Saint and the rest quietly formed a circle, trailing behind.

...

In the meeting room of the base office building.

Jiang Chen, Dragon Saint, the Pope, You Xuan, and Li Jianfeng sat opposite Ling Zhiping and his companions, with the five Elders with the surname Wei and the Retired Emperor standing guard around the building.

"Speak."

Jiang Chen looked at Ling Zhiping plainly.

Ling Zhiping's eyes reflected a trace of reminiscence, a bit of melancholy; he sighed lightly, speaking with slight sorrow: "I was the Young Master of Fulong Mountain, once."

Jiang Chen and his companions paused slightly, frowning gently. Fulong Mountain's Young Master? Wasn't it Ling Qiuyan?

"Fulong Mountain was once one of the six major top forces on the Void Netherworld Origin Continent. But after my great-grandfather passed, Fulong Mountain lost its peak combat strength. For the right to rule Fulong Mountain, my second grandfather clashed fiercely with my grandfather."

A faint sadness appeared on Ling Zhiping's face: "Second Grandfather won, while Grandfather was severely wounded. He and Father were detained by the Elders in the family shrine. As for me... they didn't lock me up to win over those loyal to my father and grandfather, but they deprived me of the freedom to descend the mountain."

Looking up at Jiang Chen, Ling Zhiping smiled lightly: "Speaking of which, I must thank you. Had you not triggered the resurgence of Spiritual Energy on Life Origin Star, I wouldn't have had the chance to leave Fulong Mountain. Though Fulong Mountain was once one of the six major forces, there aren't many who reached the Semi Divine Infant Realm, and we are precisely at this stage."

Jiang Chen's face changed slightly, deeply glancing at Ling Zhiping, stating coldly: "Did you takeover the bodies of Yuan Star people?"

Ling Zhiping's face also changed, hurriedly shaking his head.

From their covert investigation in recent days, they had already realized Jiang Chen and his group's attitude towards the arrivals. Unless forced, they didn't want to risk their lives to contact Jiang Chen, but since they did, they wanted to avoid any misunderstandings.

So he urgently explained: "No, we came in our flesh!"
