In the bedroom on the third floor of the central villa.

Tang Jiawei, Tang Feng, and Zhuge Yuhan looked anxiously at Old Master Tang, who was lying on the bed.

Following Tang Yulin's instructions, Tang Feng had taken Zhuge Yuhan to his own villa instead of letting her stay with the Zhuge Family. Upon receiving the news that Old Master Tang was poisoned, the two rushed over together.

"Dad, was it truly Mr. Jiang who poisoned Grandpa?" Tang Feng's brows were tightly furrowed as he stared intently at Tang Jiawei.

Tang Jiawei spoke with a grave expression, "I don't know. Whether it was him or not, inviting him to take a look can't be wrong. If it was him, we'll apprehend him. If not, that's for the best. His medical skills are exceptional, and he might be able to save your great-grandfather!"

"What kind of poison has Great-Grandpa been afflicted with? Why is it so bizarre?" Zhuge Yuhan asked, frowning.

Old Master Tang, lying on the bed, had a deathly pale face. Dark mists swirled above his head, his brow tightly knitted, and his face somewhat distorted. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and his body shook violently, as if enduring unbearable pain!

"This is not poison!"

Tang Jiawei's face turned grim as he spoke, "This is a type of evil cultivation technique. I once read about it in the family records. This technique plants a seed in a person's soul, and once planted, the individual becomes controlled by the one who planted it, turning them into mere puppets. Moreover, they need to periodically provide soul power to aid their controller's cultivation!"

"What?"

"Such malice!"

Tang Feng and the other exclaimed in shock.

"During the Blood Demon incident a thousand years ago, this evil technique had surfaced, but it was eradicated by the founder of the Jiang Family, Venerable Wu Qing. I never expected, after a thousand years, it would appear again!" Tang Jiawei continued with an ugly expression.

"The founder of Jiang Family? Is it… the Jiang Family from Jiang City?" Tang Feng shook, speaking in astonishment.

Tang Jiawei's face remained somber, "Yes, the Jiang Family where Jiang Chen resides. That's why I didn't stop your brother from seeking out Jiang Chen. A thousand years ago, it was Venerable Wu Qing alone who tracked down and killed the practitioner of this evil technique. If remnants of that technique have survived, the Jiang Family has the highest probability of holding them."

Tang Feng became even more horrified, "What, you're saying Jiang Chen practices this evil technique?"

"It's highly likely."

Tang Jiawei nodded gravely, "But if it wasn't Jiang Chen who used this evil technique, so much the better. Because the bloodline power of the Jiang Family is the nemesis of this evil technique. Considering Jiang Chen has achieved such strength at such a young age, his bloodline power must be incredibly pure. If he can wake Grandpa up, I would kneel and bow in apology to him if I had to!"

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

A terrifying aura faintly transmitted, causing all three faces to change.

"They've started fighting!" Zhuge Yuhan exclaimed, as all three looked towards the window simultaneously.

"Jiawei, protect your grandpa! Jiang Chen that bastard has killed his way here!"

A loud yelling voice came from afar.

Tang Jiawei's face drastically changed, and he shouted loudly, "Someone come here!"

Crack!

The bedroom door was pushed open, and three Innate Grandmasters rushed in.

"Protect..."

Crack!

Before Tang Jiawei could finish, the bedroom window violently shattered, and a slightly gaunt figure burst in.

"Protect the old master!" Tang Jiawei exclaimed with a changed expression.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The three Innate Grandmasters from the Tang Family all charged towards Jiang Chen.

"Offended!" Jiang Chen bellowed, and he fiercely slapped towards the three approaching men.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of three heavy thuds overlapped, and all three Innate Grandmasters were sent flying backward.

Jiang Chen dashed straight towards Old Master Tang on the bed.

"Bastard!" Tang Jiawei bellowed, slamming a palm towards Jiang Chen, and Tang Feng also lunged at Jiang Chen.

Bang! Bang!

With two dull thuds, Tang Jiawei and Tang Feng were sent flying back even faster than they had charged, crashing heavily into the wall.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen scooped up Old Master Tang and turned to rush out the window.

"Jiang Chen, you beast! Put down my father!" Outside the window, a loud shout erupted, and Tang Zhennan's eyes were on the verge of splitting, as he fiercely slapped his palm towards Jiang Chen.

Cradling Old Master Tang in his arms, Jiang Chen knew a confrontation would certainly injure the unconscious Old Master Tang.

With gritted teeth, Jiang Chen swiftly twisted his body.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, to the astonishment of Tang Zhennan, his full-powered slap fiercely landed on Jiang Chen's back.

Puh!

Jiang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, then Tang Zhennan's palm force made him abruptly shoot forward.

"Bastard!"

Seeing Jiang Chen suddenly accelerate, Tang Zhennan roared and furiously chased after him.

As Jiang Chen ran, he reached out to check Old Master Tang's injuries and suddenly his expression changed as he exclaimed, "Eight-Headed Serpent?!"

The black mist swirling around Old Master Tang was identical to the Avatar Deity of the Eight-Headed Serpent, and at this moment, Old Master Tang's Soul Power was violently fluctuating, clearly struggling fiercely.

Jiang Chen's expression darkened. The fluctuation of Old Master Tang's Soul Power had weakened significantly. Any further delay could likely result in Old Master Tang being controlled by someone, just like those strong individuals from the Ouyang Family who relied on the Secret Method!

Glancing around, Jiang Chen abruptly changed direction and charged towards the woods to the west of Tang Family's estate.

Tang Zhennan's face drastically changed; once in the woods, it would be extremely difficult to pursue.

About to call for help, Tang Zhennan suddenly realized, realizing Jiang Chen's strength was that of a Semi Venerable. Calling others to pursue would only make them targets for Jiang Chen and slow himself down!

With gritted teeth, without alerting the other members of the Tang Family, Tang Zhennan directly followed Jiang Chen, leaping out of Tang Family's estate and into the western forest.

When the Innate Grandmasters of the Tang Family arrived at the central villa, Jiang Chen and his duo had already vanished.

Central Villa, third-floor window.

Tang Jiawei, Tang Feng, and Zhuge Yuhan watched helplessly as Jiang Chen took Old Master Tang away, fire blazing in their eyes.

"Family Head, let's go after them!" The three Innate Grandmasters got up from the ground and urgently spoke.

"No need to chase, you would be of no use catching up!" Tang Jiawei spoke in a deep voice, turned his head to look at them, and asked with concern, "How are your injuries?"

"Family Head, we are not injured!" The three Innate Grandmasters strangely responded.

What?

Tang Jiawei was momentarily stunned, then suddenly realized, he too was not injured!

"Dad!" Tang Feng voiced his surprise. "I, I'm not injured either!"

Tang Jiawei's brow furrowed sharply. The fact that he and others were not injured could be explained by Jiang Chen's haste; however, Tang Feng's lack of injury was not so easily dismissible.

Both he and Tang Feng were blown away at the same time; he was an Innate Grandmaster and Tang Feng only a Heavenly Peak Martial Artist. The force that could send him flying certainly should have severely injured or even killed Tang Feng.

"This ... did Jiang Chen not intend to kill us? Nor even harm us? Then that ..."

Tang Jiawei's eyes flickered with a sudden insight, raising a guess in his mind that was so shocking even to himself!
