The members of the Kylin fell silent, their eyes revealing complex emotions.

"Dragon King, can you tell us what you saw in the lab?" After a while, Vermilion Bird asked softly.

Everyone looked up at Jiang Chen in unison.

Jiang Chen took a small box out of his pocket, opened it, and showed it to everyone.

"These... are what Li Jing's body turned into! A living person, whose body no longer contains flesh and blood, died and became a pile of powder mixed with green crystals!" Jiang Chen spoke with agitation.

"This..."

"How could this happen?!"

"This is what a person's body turned into?!"

Xuan Long and others exclaimed in shock, their faces filled with astonishment, while the members of the Kylin looked at the powder in the small box, their expressions growing grave, but without surprise.

"You knew?" Jiang Chen furrowed his brow and asked sharply.

"Sigh..."

With a sigh, the Kylin said, "The thing I was worried about still happened!"

After pausing for a moment, the Kylin looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated gaze, "When I decided to let you and Vermilion Bird go in together, I had a thought, you might not be able to accept the existence of these potions.

In the meantime, I have been collecting information about you, including your domestic records. You are too upright. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't find any other trustworthy allies, I really wouldn't want to work with you.

I was afraid that, given your temperament, you might become our enemy because of these potions!"

As soon as the Kylin finished speaking, Xuan Long and the others frowned and looked sharply at the Kylin.

"Tell me, what does the family want with these potions and data? Why not destroy them directly?" Jiang Chen asked the Kylin emotionlessly.

The Kylin spoke solemnly, "If I don't tell you, will you refuse to give us the potions?"

"Yes! Even if you tell me, if you can't convince me, I won't give them to you!" Jiang Chen nodded and added.

The faces of the Azure Dragon and others changed as they frowned together.

The Kylin fell silent for a moment, struggling internally before sighing slightly and saying expressionlessly, "The family wants these things for research, to try to perfect this kind of potion."

"Perfect? You mean, the family has also conducted experiments with this potion?!" Jiang Chen's heart shook violently, and his face turned extremely ugly!

The Kylin lowered its head, speaking indifferently, "We once obtained a few potions, those were the first Gene Potions. This time, when we received news that they had developed a second Gene Potion, we rushed over to get the research data, intending to refine it through our research."

"Bastards!"

Jiang Chen roared, his eyes blazing with fierce anger: "Do you know what happens when a first Gene Potion injection fails? Huh? A Semi Innate Grand Master completely devoid of bones, the whole person turned into a mollusk, just a lump of flesh.

Moreover, they have to constantly endure the sensation of splitting, and must stay in the nutrient solution to stay alive. Do you understand that feeling?

I saw three in the lab, three lumps of flesh with the strength of a Semi Innate Grand Master, soaked in the nutrient solution. Do you know what they said to me, straining with all their might?

'Kill me'!

With all their effort, they just wanted me to kill them!

"Can you imagine the pain they endured? That was a Semi Innate Grand Master we're talking about! Yet upon seeing someone, his only desire was to die! Can you comprehend their suffering?"

The crowd showed somber expressions, and the faces of the Blood Kylin and others were twisted with agony.

"I know that pain! I've seen it too!" the Blood Kylin said hoarsely. "I even injected the potion into one of my brothers myself! I watched as he turned into a pile of minced flesh!"

Jiang Chen's expression changed, his eyes filled with extreme disgust, "You! You do not deserve to call that person your brother! You are not worthy!"

"I didn't want to!" the Blood Kylin suddenly bellowed, "But... I had no choice!"

"Had no choice? You say you had no choice? Who forced you? Or was it an order you were following?" Jiang Chen's eyes were filled with icy killing intent.

The Blood Kylin's face changed, and looking at Jiang Chen nervously, he asked, "What are you going to do?"

"What am I going to do? I want to see if those old masters still have any humanity left in them!" Jiang Chen spoke coldly as he took out his phone and dialed a number.

The Blood Kylin said with a troubled look, "Who are you calling? This is a secret mission; you can't tell anyone."

Jiang Chen ignored him and continued to wait for the call to connect.

With gritted teeth, the Blood Kylin stood up and lunged at Jiang Chen, attempting to seize the phone from his hand.

Whoosh!

A cold flash of light moved swiftly toward Blood Kylin. Azure Dragon quickly pulled the Blood Kylin back to safety.

Xing Fei stepped forward and positioned herself in front of Jiang Chen, staring coldly at the Blood Kylin and his group. She had been ready since the dispute between Jiang Chen and the Blood Kylin began.

In her eyes, although Jiang Chen did not blame her, if she had not retrieved the two gene potions that Jiang Chen lost, the situation might not be what it is now. She wanted to make up for her mistake.

Therefore, she had been vigilant around Blood Kylin and his group. At the first sign of movement from Blood Kylin, she immediately drew her dagger and attacked.

Clatter clatter clatter!

Xuan Long, Mengte De'er, and others quickly stood up. Xuan Long stepped up beside Xing Fei, forming a line in front of Jiang Chen; Mengte De'er rapidly drew his gun and pointed it at Blood Kylin.

The Mo Bao brothers stood up, glanced at Jiang Chen, then at Blood Kylin, their eyes flickering with hesitation. They joined the Long Yan because they thought highly of Jiang Chen and aspired for the brotherhood that Long Yan offered, but a more significant reason was their desire for a stable environment to retire in peace in their old age.

If Jiang Chen's adversaries weren't the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group, they would have unhesitatingly sided with Jiang Chen. However, through their time together, they now knew that Blood Kylin and the others were cavalry of the Flame Dragon Kingdom, which made them hesitate.

Xuan Long gave the Mo Bao brothers a sidelong glance, his eyes slightly narrowing with a flicker of dissatisfaction.

"Dragon King, stop making that call, or we'll have to take action," Blood Kylin said in a low shout.

Jiang Chen's first call went unanswered, and he was dialing a second time. Hearing Blood Kylin's words, he didn't so much as glance at him, as if he heard nothing at all!

Rattle!

The sound of bullets being loaded filled the air as An Long, Chen Jiantao, and others drew their guns and surrounded them.

An Long and his men had taken note of the dispute between Jiang Chen and Blood Kylin. They had thought it was a normal debate in a meeting, but Blood Kylin's recent words made them realize that a confrontation was imminent, and they rushed over with their guns ready.

As they arrived, people from Dragon Soul also hurried over. Those who had settled into the tent to rest came out upon hearing the commotion outside and were stunned.

Were they about to come to blows?
