"Judgment Chief? Not Chief Judge?"

At this moment, Elder Ouyang also asked with confusion.

Old Master Tang's expression turned solemn as he spoke, "In the Holy Court Tribunal, from the bottom to the top, it is divided into judges, chief judges, examiners, judgment chiefs. The ranks of chief judges and examiners are the same, but not all chief judges can become examiners. Examiners are the highest law enforcement officers of the Holy Court. They have the authority to supervise and discipline bishops and chief judges, and they are one of the strongest forces of the Holy Court. The power of a Judgment Chief is second only to His Holiness the Pope!"

After explaining, Old Master Tang looked at Xi'er with furrowed brows, "Chief Judge Xi'er, why would this matter alarm the Judgment Chief? The current Judgment Chief... is Mr. Fa Rang, right?"

"Old Master Tang seems to know quite a bit."

Xi'er looked at Old Master Tang meaningfully, then with a complex gaze towards Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, normally I could handle such a matter myself, but Lei'ao is not only Si Keda's disciple, he is also the grandson of Vice Judgment Chief Lu Densi. So, this matter is going to be tricky!"

"Vice..." Old Master Tang exclaimed sharply, his brow furrowed tightly, revealing a struggling expression in his eyes.

"Old Master Tang, thank you! I'll handle it myself."

Jiang Chen looked gratefully at Old Master Tang, aware that Old Master Tang explained so clearly mainly to let him understand the general strength of the Holy Court. Moreover, Old Master Tang's struggle was about whether to forcefully protect him.

But Jiang Chen couldn't do that. Old Master Tang's struggle wasn't just about the Tang Family; he knew another identity of Old Master Tang. If he used that identity to protect himself, it would bring trouble to the Flame Dragon, and that was not what he wanted to see!

Old Master Tang looked up at Jiang Chen, hesitated slightly, then expectantly said, "How long do you think it will take you to make that step?"

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, chuckled lightly, "Old Master, thank you, but I'll handle it myself."

Turning to look at Xi'er, Jiang Chen calmly said, "Mr. Xi'er, thank you for the warning, but I am not someone who can be summoned at will. If the Holy Court wants to investigate me, then let Vice Judgment Chief Lu Densi come himself!"

Xi'er was surprised for a moment, his brow slightly furrowed, the implication of Jiang Chen's words, mentioning Lu Densi rather than Fa Rang, was worthy of deep thought!

"Mr. Jiang, you think too highly of yourself. If you don't come back with us, it won't be Mr. Lu Densi who comes looking for you. I fear what will come to find you are people from the Knights of the Round Table!" Ji Long spoke gravely.

Jiang Chen slightly furrowed his brow, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"The Knights of the Round Table are a rank higher than the Guardian Knights, directly led by the Pope, Judgment Chief, and Vice Judgment Chiefs. The minimum standard to join the Knights of the Round Table is Innate Peak. They are the punitive force of the Holy Court. Once the Knights of the Round Table are deployed, it signifies that the Holy Court is taking severe measures against a target, a fight to the death," Old Master Tang spoke gravely, and then he looked deeply at Ji Long.

"Heh," Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, "If the Holy Court really intends to fight me to the death over this, then so be it!"

Xi'er, Ji Long, and Bu Langsi all looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, an incredulous expression on their faces.

"Mr. Jiang, do you know what you are saying?" Bu Langsi looked at Jiang Chen oddly; this was the first time he had seen someone speak so calmly about facing the Holy Court's target.

"I know what I'm saying. The Holy Court has stood for so many years and still remains among the world's strongest forces; their strength is certainly formidable."

Jiang Chen smiled indifferently, as if it was none of his business, but then he paused, and suddenly said seriously:

"But this is just my nature. I used to endure everything. But ever since I almost lost my beloved wife, I told myself a phrase:

Since my endurance is seen as weakness by others, from now on, I will no longer tolerate anything!

When facing an enemy, I must fight, and in a fight, I must prevail!"

All the people inside the room were staring at Jiang Chen in astonishment, their faces filled with shock.

They were all powerful beings, and when Jiang Chen had spoken just now, they had sensed an incredibly strong aura of boldness emanating from him.

What was even more intense was that Jiang Chen possessed an invincible momentum that soared to the skies!

This was the display of someone with absolute confidence in victory.

Xi'er narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing deeply at Jiang Chen, his heart tumultuously turning like a capsized river.

Just now, he had even felt an impulse to worship.

That urge was similar to the feeling of genuine conviction one feels when seeing His Holiness the Pope!

Old Master Tang's eyes suddenly brightened, and his heart shuddered fiercely.

Is this a sign of a completed warrior's heart?!

Elder Long was right; this young man really could take over Elder Long's role!

"Vice Chief Judge Xi'er, I think, we need to talk!" Old Master Tang said seriously as he looked at Xi'er.

Xi'er frowned slightly, gazing deeply at Old Master Tang.

When the aura on Jiang Chen burst forth just now, he knew that this matter probably wasn't just between the Holy Court and Jiang Chen anymore. And on his way to Flame Dragon, someone had approached him personally, requesting him to first meet Old Master Tang in Xi Bo and greet him.

As soon as Xi'er heard such an instruction, he instantly understood the identity of Old Master Tang.

For people of their strength coming to Flame Dragon, it was necessary to greet a department on the Flame Dragon side, and since that person had asked him to find Old Master Tang, that meant Old Master Tang was part of the organization known as the 'Flame Dragon Guardian' within the Flame Dragon Group.

And now, with Old Master Tang speaking so seriously about having a discussion, it indicated that he had also sensed the aura emitted by Jiang Chen just now and knew what it was.

But once Old Master Tang intervened using that status, things could become troublesome!

Thus, Xi'er did not respond but fell silent instead.

Suddenly, the reception room inside the Tang Family was enveloped in an oppressive atmosphere.

Lou Family Patriarch and others had also felt something different about Jiang Chen just now, but they did not know what it was. However, seeing Old Master Tang speaking so seriously about talking to Xi'er roused them somewhat.

The standing of the Tang Family was not something they could compare with, even before the Holy Court, the Tang Family held significant weight!

"Mr. Tang, I think, this matter doesn't need to be made so complicated, does it?" Xi'er said, frowning intensely as he looked at Old Master Tang.

Old Master Tang gently shook his head, gravely saying, "I think Mr. Xi'er has also realized it, so, this matter can no longer remain uncomplicated!"

Lou Family Patriarch and others all looked bewilderedly at both Old Master Tang and Xi'er, somewhat unclear about what they were discussing.

But Jiang Chen had come to an understanding, and frowning, he solemnly said, "Old Master Tang..."

"Young Jiang, shut your mouth. You don't understand; this matter has already become more complicated!" Old Master Tang interrupted Jiang Chen, speaking sternly.
