"By the way, what did you want to see me about, lad?"

At this moment, Old Master Tang looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled expression.

He didn't believe Jiang Chen sought him out just over the matter with Tang Yucheng.

"It's like this..."

Jiang Chen mentioned the situation with the Youming Hall, his expression grave, "I'd like to ask the old master to help me investigate how deeply the Zhuge Family has been infiltrated!"

"Alright, that's no problem. Initially, to keep an eye on the Ouyang Family's affairs, I had the entire riverside thoroughly searched. The spies I set up haven't been called back yet, so checking into the Zhuge Family's affairs won't be difficult!"

Old Master Tang nodded in agreement, then chuckled and said, "Speaking of the Ouyang Family's affairs, I really was quite frustrated. I had laid plans along the river for two years, and never dared to touch those Samurai from the Beihai National. I didn't expect that you, lad, would handle them in just a few days, rendering my two years of preparations a waste!"

"Elder Hei, do we still need to discuss this matter? You have your standards, and I have my bottom lines!" Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly as he spoke softly.

Old Master Tang was indeed the same Elder Hei who had hurried to the old capital's outskirts with Elder Qing to rescue someone.

"Ah... alright, alright, let's not talk about that!" Old Master Tang became embarrassed for a moment, having intended it as a joke, but realizing he had chosen the wrong context.

With an awkward laugh, Old Master Tang suddenly thought of something and curiously asked, "How did you recognize me, lad? I've changed my appearance, even Brother Lou and the others haven't recognized me."

"Aura!"

Jiang Chen spoke softly, "The cultivation technique I follow is somewhat special. I'm particularly sensitive to a person's blood aura. Unless someone completely changes all the blood in their body, I can identify them by the blood aura they carry."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Tang's expression became serious. "Speaking of which, I must advise you that the 'Blood Fiend Demon Art' is not so simple; you must maintain your mental state, and never let the Heart Demon take control!"

"Don't worry, I'm aware of that!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

Bang, bang, bang!

A series of knocks sounded, and Jiang Chen and the elder both looked towards the door.

"Come in!" Old Master Tang called out.

Crack!

The door was opened, and Tang Yulin walked in.

"Great-grandpa," Tang Yulin greeted Old Master Tang, then turned to look gravely at Jiang Chen. "Mr. Jiang, the Zhuge Family members haven't left; they are also staying at our place. I was just arranging accommodations for you when I happened upon the person arranging their stay—the third elder."

Jiang Chen's brows raised, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly. "This is getting interesting. We've settled in, and so have they. Are they planning on targeting me?"

"Mr. Jiang, shall we...?" A cold light flashed in Tang Yulin's eyes.

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly. "Let's not make a move just yet. This place belongs to your family. Ever since the Blood Demon incident a thousand years ago, the relationship between the Martial Sects and the Martial Arts Families has grown increasingly strained, only improving slightly when Flame Dragon was established. If we act here, it might provoke an all-out response from the Martial Sects. Let's wait until they leave Xi Bo before we make our move!"

"Right!" Tang Yulin nodded lightly.

Jiang Chen stood up to take his leave, and Tang Yulin led him to find Ye Jingyi and the others.

...

In a standalone villa on the west side of the Tang Family realm.

Zhuge Qingfeng, Zhuge Junlie, Zhuge Jun Cheng, and Zhuge Qingfeng's guard were sitting around the living room sofa.

"Elder Zhao, is this plan really feasible? Will the Tang Family comply with us?" Zhuge Qingfeng asked with a worried look at Elder Zhao across from him.

"Don't worry, the Tang Family will definitely listen to us. Once Jiang Chen is dealt with, I'll have the Tang Family help your Zhuge Family dominate the entire riverside Martial Dao World. Then with us Youming Hall controlling the Jiangbei Martial Sects and the Zhuge Family dominating the riverside Martial Arts Families, we will control the entire Flame Dragon Martial Arts World from south to north!" Elder Zhao said arrogantly.

Just as Jiang Chen had thought, this Elder Zhao was indeed a person from Youming Hall, and moreover, he was the Great Elder of Youming Hall.

Upon hearing Elder Zhao's words, sparks of fervent desire appeared in the eyes of the three from the Zhuge Family.

Zhuge Junlie's expression changed, and he said lasciviously, "Elder Zhao, you promised not to kill Ye Jingyi, you mustn't forget!"

"Don't worry, once promised, I definitely won't go back on my word. However, Junlie, she's just a woman. Now that you have the strength, when you eventually dominate the Martial Dao World along the river, what kind of woman won't you be able to find?" Elder Zhao spoke with disdain.

"Indeed, big brother, now that we have this immense strength, what kind of woman can't we find! That Ye Jingyi, she's just a bit prettier, nothing else!"

Full of excitement, Zhuge Jun Cheng said, "Today, when I saw that Jiang Chen and felt his Innate Peak strength, I thought he was so weak. I really wanted to pin him down and grind him into the ground a hundred and eighty times, to pay him back for what he did to me back in S province!"

"You don't understand!"

Zhuge Junlie gently shook his head, "Ye Jingyi is not just a bit pretty. You were all focused on Jiang Chen and didn't look properly. That Ye Jingyi, with her demeanor and that stunningly beautiful face, paired with her soul-stirring figure, is absolutely a rare beauty in this world!"

"Indeed!" Zhuge Qingfeng nodded, "If I didn't know Junlie was interested in her, I might have been tempted myself!"

"Dad, you're interested in her too? Then you and big brother can share! I'm sure big brother wouldn't mind! Plus, we must make Jiang Chen watch on the side as you have your fun with Ye Jingyi, haha, just thinking about it makes me feel relieved!" Zhuge Jun Cheng said with a big laugh.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Junlie was stunned for a moment, then a perverse smile appeared in his eyes, "That's a good suggestion, I haven't tried it yet!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qingfeng's eyes filled with fervor, imagining the scene, and he immediately felt a vile excitement.

…

The night deepened.

The Tang Family estate was enveloped in serenity.

"Ah!"

A scream suddenly rang out, lighting up the Tang Family estate brightly and a clamor of noises followed.

"What's going on?" Jiang Chen vigilantly opened his eyes and took a glance outside the window, muttering softly.

Ye Jingyi got up and looked out the window, the light from the slit in the curtains casting several bright rays.

"It seems something has happened, should we go check it out?" Ye Jingyi turned and looked at Jiang Chen.

"Alright!" Jiang Chen nodded.

The two got dressed and left the bedroom.

"Young Master, Young Mistress."

"Master, Mistress."

When Jiang Chen and his partner entered the living room, Yan Hu and Tang Wanru were already waiting there.

"Let's go, to…" Jiang Chen began softly.

Bang!

Before Jiang Chen could finish speaking, a loud noise came, and the villa's door was violently kicked open.

Thump thump thump!

A group of people ran into the villa from outside, surrounding Jiang Chen and the others completely.
