Jiang Chen and the others stepped out of their room, instructed the waiter to tidy up private room 302, and took the elevator to the Supreme Private Room on the top floor of the dining department.

"Jingyi, Lin Lin, Yu Wan."

After finishing the meal, Jiang Chen looked up at Ye Jingyi and the two other women: "Five people came out of Fulong Mountain, one is dead now, but four are still hiding. Since they've tracked us down, they definitely won't let this go easily. So, I'm asking you to lie low again—please stay at Dingyun Lake Manor or head over there!"

"Okay! We'll stay at the manor. Be careful and don't get hurt again!" Ye Jingyi nodded, looking at Jiang Chen with a hint of worry.

"That's right, don't go getting hurt again. If you dare get hurt and trick us into crying again, I won't let you off!" Ye Yu Wan's eyes also showed concern, though her words were a tough, teasing threat to Jiang Chen.

Gong Lin said nothing, but the clear worry in her eyes was unmistakable.

"Relax, as you just saw, now I can instantly kill the pinnacle strong. There's no one on Yuan Star who can hurt me anymore!" Jiang Chen spoke boastfully, a smug expression on his face.

"Show-off!"

Ye Jingyi laughed lightly, giving Jiang Chen a sideways glance.

The display of Jiang Chen's power indeed reassured Ye Jingyi and the two other women considerably. However, claiming that no one on Yuan Star could challenge Jiang Chen still left them somewhat skeptical.

Xiao Yunna cast a deep gaze at Jiang Chen, slowly lowered her head, and within her eyes, a touch of sorrow appeared. She determinedly erased a trace of emotional feelings from her heart.

Having only heard of Jiang Chen's feats before didn't leave much impression, but today, witnessing Jiang Chen's battle, she clearly understood: Jiang Chen and she were worlds apart!

"Staying at the manor all the time is pretty dull. Jiang Chen, how about this? While you're away, we go to Jincheng's Martial Warrior Academy—it's safe there, right?" Ye Yu Wan's mind stirred and she spoke softly.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, considered it, and nodded lightly: "That works too."

Jincheng is inherently the most heavily guarded place. Coupled with the fact that Jincheng's Martial Warrior Academy is overseen by Elder Long and other senior members of the Flame Dragon Group, even the Dragon Saint goes there when free. It's a relatively safe place.

Martial Warrior Academy?

Xiao Yunna was briefly stunned, and that trace of feeling she had just suppressed suddenly resurfaced.

Even if we can't be together, being in the same world with you is good enough!

After glancing at Jiang Chen, Xiao Yunna conceived a notion in her heart: she wanted to attend Martial Warrior Academy and strive to enter the Martial Dao World!

"By the way, Xiao Anna, is President Lu still targeting your Xiao family?" Jiang Chen suddenly recalled something, turning to look at Xiao Anna.

Xiao Anna hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Not specifically targeting, just not cooperating with our family anymore. Following President Lu's advice, Yi Chen Group has also ceased cooperation with us. In S Province, without cooperation with President Lu or Yi Chen, we are relegated to a second-rate family. But Dad brought this upon himself; it's not your fault!"

Ye Jingyi and others paused for a moment, surprisedly looking at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, then turned to Ye Jingyi: "I had a minor conflict with Xiao Anna's father, which was discovered by President Lu. Tell President Lu not to target the Xiao family anymore."

"Okay!" Ye Jingyi nodded gently.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a sweeping wave of spiritual energy surged, and Jiang Chen's expression changed rapidly. He darted to the window, looking towards the suburbs.

In the mountain range outside Dingjing, a dazzling light shot skyward, containing abundant spiritual energy within its brilliance!

"Could it be... a Secret Realm?"

Jiang Chen furrowed his brow slightly, muttering, then urgently turned and said: "I'll go take a look, you all return to the manor immediately."

"Okay!" Ye Jingyi hastily nodded, such a commotion definitely wasn't a trivial matter.

Whoosh!

Swoosh!

Jiang Chen flung the window open and dashed outside.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Meanwhile, dozens of strong presences in Dingjing surged collectively towards the mountain range in the suburbs.

In a valley outside Dingjing, the skyward brilliance radiated from deep within the valley, filling the entire valley with a fierce sword aura, while the whole mountain where the valley lay was pervaded with abundant spiritual energy, laced with intense breath!

Swish swish swish!

Figures appeared as dozens of silhouettes emerged at the valley entrance.

"Lord Xue!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

You Xuan and Li Jianfeng leapt to Jiang Chen's side, softly calling out.

Jiang Chen nodded, his expression serious as he scrutinized the valley's overwhelming spiritual aura.

"Such rich spiritual energy! Training here would definitely yield twice the result with half the effort!"

A voice rang out, as a man soared across midair, speeding toward the valley.

Jiang Chen's eyebrows raised—the entire valley gave him an intensely dangerous feeling, though he couldn't fully discern the danger's origin.

Swish swish swish!

Just as the man was about to enter the airspace above the valley, an intense sword aura within the valley suddenly launched itself toward him autonomously.

"Be careful!"

Jiang Chen's face shifted, his figure flashing as he bolted into the air, the Saint Dragon Sword appearing in his hand, cleaving toward the sword aura assaulting the man from the valley.

Swish!

A white sword glow shot from the Saint Dragon Sword, rushing rapidly toward the sword aura.

The man's face transformed, as the sword aura instilled a feeling of impending death.

Boom!

A blast resounded just as the sword aura was about to pierce the man; the sword glow arrived, clashing with the sword aura, both exploding into powerful qi force dispersing outward.

"Ah!"

Pfft!

The man cried out, spewing a mouthful of blood, his body flung backward.

Swoosh!

A shadow flashed, Jiang Chen appeared behind the man, catching him to bring him back to the valley entrance.

"That was close!"

"Luckily for Mr. Jiang!"

The martial artists gathered at the valley entrance exclaimed in relief.

"Thank, thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clasped his fists in front of Jiang Chen and bowed, his face pale as he expressed gratitude.

"Don't recklessly charge in; the valley is filled with sword aura, comparable to a strike from a martial artist in the Venerable Realm."

Jiang Chen softly advised.

The man, only an Innate Grandmaster, turned pale again upon hearing this, hurriedly retreating several steps back.

"Elder You, return to the manor once, and bring everyone here—this appears to be an excellent cultivation site!"

Jiang Chen gently instructed.

"Understood!"

You Xuan responded with a nod, turning to leap toward the direction of Dingyun Lake.

Swoosh!

Just as You Xuan left, a middle-aged man appeared next to Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Jiang, I am Chen Liang, the new person in charge of Dingjing for the Flame Dragon Group. What happened here?"

The middle-aged man inquired respectfully.
