Hearing the furious roar in the Blood Palace, Jiang Wuwei's face changed, showing a trace of wild joy in his eyes.

Then, all the gloom in his heart dispersed, and he suddenly burst out laughing, "Haha! Hahaha! Good! Good lad! Good lad! Haha! Hahaha..."

"Damn it! How is it possible?! In this Era of Martial Decline, how can anyone resist the increase in strength? That's a promotion to Semi Venerable, something others couldn't achieve in decades or even hundreds of years, with some stuck in the same minor realm all their lives. How could he possibly resist such a temptation!"

The more the Blood Demon thought about it, the angrier he became, and his roaring sounded again, causing the Blood Palace to hum and buzz.

"This is the man of the Jiang Family, this is my Dragon Descendant! Haha! Hahaha..."

The more Jiang Wuwei thought about it, the happier he became, bursting into laughter once again.

...

On Jincheng Avenue, Jiang Chen and others were driving towards the Jiang Family Courtyard.

Hmmmhmmmhmmm!

Waves of strong vibrations emanated from Knight XV.

Shh shh!

On buildings on both sides of the road, two figures appeared, one black and one white. They were none other than the Flame Dragon's Elder Hei and Elder Bai.

"What's this lad up to?"

Elder Bai frowned as he watched the rapidly driving Knight XV, puzzledly speaking out.

Elder Hei extended his aura, carefully probing and was also full of confusion, "I don't know."

Whoom!

Suddenly, wisps of faint blood-colored mist drifted out of the windows of Knight XV, scattering in the wind.

"This is..." The faces of the two elders, Hei and Bai, changed, revealing shocked expressions in their eyes.

"Is this lad... dissipating his cultivation?!" Elder Bai stared at Elder Hei in astonishment.

Elder Hei nodded heavily, his speech filled with shock, "The power he's emitting is pure. This proves that he... he really is dissipating his cultivation. How could this be possible?"

"Wait! Could it be like this? Last time we saw this lad, he was just at the early stage of Semi Venerable. But now, judging by that subtle aura from earlier, he has reached the later stage of Semi Venerable. Could it be that he feels his strength has increased too quickly and his mind is unsettled, so he chose to dissipate his cultivation?" Elder Bai came up with a possibility, already extremely close to the truth.

"Would you, at the stage of Semi Venerable, have the courage to dissipate a minor realm of cultivation?" Elder Hei, agreeing, nodded, then teasingly looked at Elder Bai.

Elder Bai was stunned for a moment, then looking toward the now distant Knight XV, his gaze took on a look of respect, "No, not just at the stage of Semi Venerable — even at the stage of Semi Innate Realm, I couldn't have made up my mind to dissipate my cultivation. I have some admiration for this lad!"

"Yes! This lad has really achieved what others couldn't!" Elder Hei sighed, his eyes revealing a moved expression.

"Elder Hei, do you think we should give a suggestion to the higher-ups? This lad is growing so fast, could it be..." Elder Bai looked at Elder Hei with a meaningful glance.

Elder Hei's lips curved slightly, "Haven't you noticed that ever since you returned from Jincheng, Elder Qing has disappeared? Also, this lad will come over to our side in just over a month. His troops are supposed to join an examination. Given this lad's sentimental character, he will definitely come to have a look."

"You guys really are... cunning!"

Hearing Elder Hei's words, especially about Elder Qing's whereabouts, Elder Bai's heart suddenly trembled, and he couldn't help muttering to himself, "The higher-ups really value this lad!"

"Perhaps, he can achieve what Elder Long hasn't done!" Elder Hei suddenly blurted out an unexpected remark.

Elder White was stunned for a moment, then his body shuddered violently as he exclaimed in amazement, "You mean..."

"Silence!" Elder Black sharply interjected in a low voice, "Let's observe and decide later, let's not interfere for now!"

From a distance, Elder White glanced towards the direction where Knight Fifteen had disappeared, his eyes trembling as he said, "Elder Long's expectations for him are so high! It seems I need to reassess my opinion of that young man!"

"Let's go, this youngster has completely disrupted my sleep. I'm going back to continue sleeping!" Elder Black called out and, in a flash, left the rooftop.

Once again, Elder White deeply looked in the direction where Jiang Chen's car had left, then turned to follow Elder Black.

Whooosh... Screech!

The sound of brakes echoed at the entrance of the Jiang Family Courtyard as Jiang Chen and others got out of the car.

By then, Jiang Chen's expression had returned to normal, showing no signs of the peril he had just experienced!

"This is my home!" Jiang Chen introduced to Lou Qiangqiang and the others, stepping towards the entrance.

"Family Head!"

"Family Head!"

The two Jiang Family guards at the main gate bowed deeply to Jiang Chen, their gazes filled with respect and admiration.

Although Jiang Chen's arrival had initially plunged the Jiang Family into internal chaos, after the turmoil, the family had now become a leading clan among the top families of Jincheng.

The Zhang Family, Sun Family, and Meng Family all fully supported the Jiang Family, while the other three top families had gradually faded from the elite circle.

Now, Jincheng was dominated no longer by the Eight Great Families, but by four!

All these changes happened after Jiang Chen returned to the Jiang Family, and everyone in the family genuinely respected Jiang Chen.

The current guards of the Jiang Family were those who had been hidden in the backyard woods originally. When the family had previously faced trouble, they had been training outside and filled in for Manzi and others after Jiang Chen had stabilized the internal strife, becoming the official guards of the Jiang Family.

As of now, they could no longer be deemed 'secret weapons'!

"Family Head, you've returned!" Jiang Chen and others encountered Butler Lu who was about to leave the house. Butler Lu now was not just Elder Master Jiang's personal butler but the main butler of the entire Jiang Family.

"Butler Lu, are you going out?" Jiang Chen asked with a light smile.

Butler Lu's expression altered slightly as he softly said, "By Young Master's orders, Yu Qing has already eliminated the Wu Family, but because of this action, all major families in Jincheng, except those close to us, have gathered at Jinhuan Clubhouse. We've discussed with Zhang Family, Sun Family, Meng Family, and Gong Family and decided to join the gathering as well!"

"I see,"

Jiang Chen paused, chuckled, and shook his head, "These people really have too much free time. In a while, after I meet with my parents and grandfather, I'll make a trip there, talk to the other families, and have Wen Jie and others also attend. This issue indeed needs to be resolved. It wouldn't be good if our Jiang Family's dominance leads to a joint resistance from other families."

"Alright!" Butler Lu nodded in agreement.

Having sorted out the Jinhuan Clubhouse matter, Jiang Chen led everyone towards his attic.

"Jiang Chen!"

Just as they were approaching the attic, a shout came from above, and Yu Wan beamed joyfully as she spotted Jiang Chen from the second-floor window.

Whoosh!

Yu Wan jumped directly from the second-floor balcony, soaring towards Jiang Chen.
