"Daring to speak to our Young Master like that, I see you are all tired of living, prepare to meet your end!"

Suddenly, a cold voice rose from behind the three.

Uncle Chen and the other two were startled, their complexions changed drastically as they swiftly turned around, only to realize they hadn't noticed someone was behind them!

Behind the three, Yan Hu gazed at them icily, blocking their retreat.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The sound of rushing wind followed as three figures appeared beside Yan Hu one after another. Mo Tiancheng knew about Jiang Chen and Yan Hu's strength, so they had gone ahead, certain that nothing would happen to them, while Tang Wanru and Lou Qiangqiang were somewhat less capable, so he took Lou Qiangqiang along with Tang Wanru to join them.

Mo Tiancheng glanced at the three men in the field, his brow furrowing slightly as his gaze settled on Uncle Chen's face, "Are you Chen Kun, the Tenth Elder of Youming Hall with the Tiger Head Saber? What are you doing here?"

"Mo Tiancheng?! Are you people from the Mo Family?"

Chen Kun also recognized Mo Tiancheng. His eyes narrowed slightly, not answering Mo Tiancheng's question but instead asking in a deep voice, "Since when did the Mo Family collude with Chixiao Sect?"

"How the Mo Family conducts its affairs is none of Youming Hall's concern," Mo Tiancheng said indifferently.

Chen Kun nodded, his eyes revealing a sharp glint, "Fine, how the Mo Family conducts its business indeed isn't something Youming Hall can interfere with. So now that Youming Hall is dealing with this matter here, shouldn't your Mo Family leave immediately?"

Mo Tiancheng was taken aback for a moment, not expecting Chen Kun to use his own words against him. He frowned slightly and turned to look at Jiang Chen, shaking his head gently, "Sorry, but it seems I will have to get involved in today's affair."

"Mo Tiancheng, are you declaring war on Youming Hall?" Chen Kun demanded in a low shout.

"Enough!" A loud shout erupted as Jiang Chen, impatiently interrupted Chen Kun, giving the three men a cold glance before turning to Lu Chengfeng, "What's going on here? How come you're here alone? And where's Sun Liang?"

"Damn!" Lu Chengfeng suddenly remembered Sun Liang and exclaimed urgently, "Mr. Jiang, please go save Mr. Sun; he's been stopped by an Innate Grandmaster!"

Buzz!

The aura of an Innate Grandmaster subtly spread over just as Lu Chengfeng finished speaking.

"Hu Zi!" Jiang Chen glanced in that direction and called out sharply.

"Yes!" Yan Hu responded, his figure flashing as he charged toward the source of the aura.

Lu Chengfeng looked at Yan Hu with concern coloring his face as he turned to Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, with just Mr. Yan Hu going... will it be enough? The opponent is an Innate Grandmaster after all!"

Lu Chengfeng's impression of Yan Hu's strength was still at the level of a Heavenly Peak Grandmaster.

"Don't worry, ten Innates are no match for Hu Zi," Jiang Chen reassured with a light chuckle.

"What big talk!"

Luo Tian sneered, "Don't think just because you have an Innate in the Mo Family that you're impressive. That over there is our Sect's Ninth Elder, Li Zhentian of the Absolute Death Palm; he's killed more Innates with his palm than you've probably ever seen. That youngster has talent, reaching the realm of Innate Grandmaster at such a young age, but before Elder Li, he's nothing but cannon fodder! Prepare to collect his corpse!"

Although Luo Tian hadn't sensed Yan Hu's arrival, when he saw Yan Hu's young age, he was certain that Yan Hu was just an Innate Grandmaster.

Chen Kun was not as ignorant as Luo Tian. He was himself an Innate Grandmaster, but he too had failed to detect Yan Hu's arrival. As a result, he was certain that Yan Hu must be a peak Innate Grandmaster. As for being a Semi Venerable, he didn't even consider it. Though Yan Hu was big and physically imposing, he was after all, only in his early thirties!

Despite his inner shock, Chen Kun felt relieved that Yan Hu had left; now he didn't have to be afraid.

Looking at Jiang Chen, his heart grew more joyful; capturing Jiang Chen today would be a great achievement indeed.

"Kid, do you think the Mo Family can protect you? Impossible! I advise you to surrender quickly, or else death is certain."

Jiang Chen ignored Chen Kun, treating his words as if they were nothing but hot air.

He turned directly to Lu Chengfeng, asking curiously, "Mr. Lu, what exactly is going on here?"

Lu Chengfeng quickly summarized the situation in a concise manner.

"Kid, my uncle is speaking to you!" Luo Tian called out again.

"Be quiet!" Jiang Chen frowned slightly and glanced at Luo Tian, then said lightly to Tang Wanru, "Wan Ru, he's sending you a target for practice."

"Yes!"

With excitement in her voice, Tang Wanru responded. Just moments ago, under Jiang Chen's guidance, she had correctly practiced Ancient Martial Arts and felt a significant increase in her strength, making her eager to test her skills. Jiang Chen's command was exactly what she had been longing for.

Although she was only a Semi Innate martial artist, Luo Tian was an Innate Grandmaster. However, Luo Tian was only at the junior level of Innate mastery. With Tang Wanru's Ancient Martial Artist strength, she was confident she could defeat Luo Tian without question.

And having just correctly practiced her family's Ancient Martial Arts, a junior-level Innate like Luo Tian was the perfect opponent for her to spar with.

Whoosh!

Tang Wanru's figure flashed as she charged toward Luo Tian. As she rushed forward, her hands reached to her waist and pulled out a pair of Emei stilettos that glinted with a cold light.

Luo Tian's eyes turned cold. The moment Tang Wanru charged, he felt her strength. A Semi Innate daring to launch an attack against him was, in his view, an insult; immediately, he moved to meet her head-on, his face hardened as he struck first.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two immediately clashed in a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, Chen Kun's eyes narrowed slightly. He subtly glanced over at the Mo Family members to find them all standing aside, making no move to advance. Jiang Chen stood there with an air of nonchalance as if he was completely unconcerned about Tang Wanru's victory or defeat.

Suddenly, his eyes shifted, and he covertly signaled to Qi Zheng beside him.

Qi Zheng understood the cue and slowly turned around.

Whoosh!

At this moment, as Tang Wanru and Luo Tian exchanged blows, switching positions, Tang Wanru ended up where Luo Tian had been, turning her back to Qi Zheng. Seizing the moment, Qi Zheng swiftly moved, his fingers shaped like claws, reaching straight for Tang Wanru's nape.

That was Chen Kun's intention; he had instructed Qi Zheng to launch a sneak attack on Tang Wanru, to capture her and use her as leverage against the Mo Family.

As long as the Mo Family remained inactive, wouldn't that leave the young man, Jiang Chen, easily within his grasp?

It was a beautiful plan in theory, but reality proved to be much harsher.

As Qi Zheng made his move, Jiang Chen, the man Chen Kun had utterly disregarded, also acted.

Whoosh—

Jiang Chen simply waved his hand.

A shadow darted straight for the back of Qi Zheng's head.

"Watch out!"

Chen Kun's pupils contracted as he let out a cry of alarm.

Qi Zheng hesitated at the voice... Was that Uncle Chen's voice?

But why would Chen Kun shout a warning? He was about to succeed, wasn't he...

Before Qi Zheng could finish the thought, his head throbbed with pain. Then his vision darkened, and in an instant, he lost all consciousness.

In the back of Qi Zheng's head was embedded a pebble the size of a thumb.

Thud!

Qi Zheng's lifeless body fell to the ground.

Clap! Clap!

Jiang Chen dusted his hands, though there was no dust to speak of, and spoke indifferently, "I already said to let that guy be a sparring partner for Wan Ru. What do you think you're doing causing trouble?"

"Ah!"

Chen Kun cried out again, his body going rigid as he stood frozen in shock.
