"I... I don't want to be your enemy! Actually, the Queen doesn't want that either!"
An Na said with a complex expression, "Our Snake Woman tribe originally lived in the jungle, isolated from the world, and we had no ambition to compete for power. We cultivate and grow stronger solely for survival."
"But the forces of the Void Nether Realm rejected us, so we had to migrate to the overseas islands. Later, Ye Hehua deceived us, saying he could take us back to the Life Origin Star, claiming a new Heavenly Dao would soon appear there, so we agreed to the alliance."
"We did not want to rule the Life Origin Star; we just wanted to return to our homeland, but we didn't expect..."
An Na's eyes showed sincerity: "We did not expect them to massacre ordinary citizens. Our Snake Woman tribe has a rule that we must never proactively attack civilians because, back in the day, when our ancestor was in a dire situation, lost all cultivation, and was on the brink of death, it was worldly hunters who saved him!"
"Without our ancestor, there wouldn't be our Snake Woman tribe. Worldly people can be said to be the benefactors of our entire tribe!"
"So when I mentioned that your people massacred civilians, is that why your attitude suddenly became so friendly?"
Jiang Chen understood.
"It's said that the Medusa tribe indeed never harmed civilians and even aids hunters in distress within the jungle!"
Long Tianze, who had been silent beside him, spoke softly.
Jiang Chen glanced at Long Tianze, his eyes flickering, and his mind shifted.
Clatter!
"Ah!"
An Na cried out in pain again, but after the pain subsided, she stared at Jiang Chen in surprise.
At this moment, the Divine Lock Chain that had pierced into An Na's body had been pulled out by Jiang Chen, but it still bound her Divine Infant.
"With Dragon Senior's testimony, I will tentatively believe what you say."
Jiang Chen said flatly, "However, letting you go is out of the question unless one day your Snake Woman tribe withdraws from this invasion."
"It's impossible to withdraw; I once advised the Queen, but she said she knows too many of the alliance's secrets and cannot withdraw now!"
An Na spoke with a dim expression.
"Then there's no way. If we meet on the battlefield, I won't hold back!"
Jiang Chen shrugged.
An Na nodded in understanding. If someone teamed up with others to invade her homeland, even if it was out of helplessness, she would also rise up and resist, slaying the opponents!
"Stay put here! If you try to run, you're just courting death yourself!"
Jiang Chen added another warning, no longer paying attention to An Na, turning to Long Tianze: "Dragon Senior, are you ready?"
"Ready!"
Long Tianze nodded heavily.
Roar!
Buzz buzz buzz!
The True Dragon Martial Spirit flew above Long Tianze's Divine Infant, exuding a vast aura of the Spatial Path!
Long Tianze's Divine Infant closed its eyes, immersing itself in comprehension.
"Spatial Path?! It's the True Dragon Martial Spirit?!"
An Na exclaimed, looking at Jiang Chen in disbelief.
Jiang Chen glanced at An Na, ignoring her, and closed his own eyes, also immersing himself in the Spatial Path.
How could he possess the True Dragon Martial Spirit!? Could it be... could the rumors within the tribe be true?!
An Na looked at Jiang Chen, her eyes flickering, and gently bit her lip. If it's true, then... we were wrong, very wrong!
Meanwhile, outside...
In the Sea of Consciousness, Jiang Chen's Divine Soul was comprehending the Spatial Path, while simultaneously, his Second Soul was comprehending the Path of Ice outside!
As he delved deeper, Jiang Chen gradually entered a meditative state, and time slowly passed...
...
Dingyun Lake Manor in Dingjing, conference room at the office building entrance.
Ye Jingyi, Gong Lin, Yè Yùwǎn, A'erfa, You Xuan, Long Dingtian, Te Leisi, Ah Bujia, Si Jiade were sitting around the conference room.
You Xuan and A'erfa both looked extremely pale, their auras somewhat withered, clearly indicating they had suffered significant injuries.
"Mrs. Jiang, hasn't Mr. Jiang come out of seclusion yet?"
Te Leisi frowned slightly, their face showing a hint of anxiety.
It's been a year since Jiang Chen and Long Tianze arrived at Yichen Island. During this year, several major events occurred on the Spatial Battlefield, causing the morale of the Yuan Star Martial Artists to plummet to the freezing point. Now they are holed up within the city, refusing to come out to fight!
"Since Jiang Chen went to Yichen Island, he has been comprehending the Great Dao, reaching a crucial point according to Fifth Elder Wei. This has also prevented him from leaving Yichen Island."
Ye Jingyi spoke in a deep voice.
"This... Mr. Jiang and Dragon Saint are in seclusion, Fifth Elder Wei can't leave, Elder Wei and Second Elder Wei are missing, and suddenly we're short of five powerful Divine Infant Realm experts."
Ah Bujia exclaimed urgently, "Now those bastards from the Void Nether Realm taunt us at our city gates every day, with Divine Infants occasionally flying above our city. Martial artists worldwide have lost faith in our alliance. At a time like this, can't Mr. Jiang come out just once? Is his personal cultivation more important than the safety of Yuan Star?"
Suddenly, the entire conference room fell silent, with everyone glaring fiercely at Ah Bujia.
"Ah Bujia, what did you just say? Repeat it!"
Ye Jingyi spoke coldly.
Ah Bujia was stunned, realizing he'd misspoken.
Suddenly, his eyes panicked, and he hastily explained, "I... I didn't mean it like that. I mean... is it possible to interrupt Mr. Jiang's cultivation and have him come out to take charge? If he comes out, won't Dragon Senior also come out, and Fifth Elder Wei can leave. Maybe Mr. Jiang knows where Elder Wei and Second Elder Wei are, right?"
"I know the situation is very severe right now. I have already sent Yan Hu to find Jiang Chen, but..."
Ring ring!
A phone ringing interrupted Ye Jingyi, who quickly took out her phone, glanced at it, and answered in a hurry: "Hello, Yan Hu, has Jiang Chen come out of seclusion?"
"Young Madam, the Young Master hasn't come out yet, but three Semi Divine Infant Realm experts who have gathered at Yichen Island from various places have successfully comprehended the Great Dao and broken through to the Divine Infant Realm. Should we send them to support the Spatial Station Field immediately?"
Yan Hu's report came from the receiver.
"No, we can't send them now. Without absolute confidence, we can't act rashly. Currently, Third Elder Wei and Fourth Elder Wei are watching over the Spatial Battlefield, and nothing should happen for the time being. The other side seems to have no intention of annihilating us, but if we counterattack, they might really go all out, and we can't afford that risk!"
Ye Jingyi spoke urgently.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the receiver, causing Ye Jingyi's expression to change, and she spoke urgently, "Hu Zi, what's happened?"
"Young Madam, someone is attacking Yichen Island... the Young Master has awakened!"
