In the woods west of the Tang Family Manor, Jiang Chen and his companions were split into three tiers.
Old Master Tang led the way, with Jiang Chen and Yan Hu closely following behind him. At a distance behind them were Old Master Tang, Lou Family Patriarch, and Mo Tiancheng, and further back, Ouyang and Mo Tianze were guarding Ye Jingyi and Tang Wanru.
As light appeared in front, the Tang Family Manor was within sight. Sensing the powerful auras emanating from the central villa, Old Master Tang's expression changed, and he exclaimed in shock, "How could there be so many strong adversaries?"
"The four from the Zhuge Family have been controlled by the Eight-Headed Serpent!" Jiang Chen urgently spoke.
"What?!" Old Master Tang's face suddenly changed. "They've actually sided with the Soul Devouring Group?"
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, looking at Old Master Tang with confusion.
While hurrying along, Old Master Tang explained, "Soul Devouring Group is the name we've given to the forces controlled by the Eight-Headed Serpent."
"No!" Old Master Tang's brow suddenly furrowed. "The aura of Tang Yucheng doesn't seem to be that of someone from the Soul Devouring Group!"
"He..." Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly, "Tang Yucheng has become a Gene Warrior!"
"What?!"
Old Master Tang's heart trembled fiercely, his complexion becoming utterly grim as he spoke harshly, "A Gene Warrior? He actually became a Gene Warrior! The Gene Organization is a power that is even more inhumane than the Soul Devouring Group, and he actually... Bastard!"
Jiang Chen fell silent; at this moment, he truly didn't know how to comfort the old man. His great-grandson had become a member of an organization he had sworn to annihilate, and he had personally planted a Soul Devour seed in him—the blow he suffered was probably unimaginable!
"Someone's coming!" Yan Hu narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.
Old Master Tang and Jiang Chen quickly collected themselves and looked intently ahead.
On the approaching manor walls, a dark shadow suddenly leaped out, as if it were someone carrying two others.
"It's the family guard!" Old Master Tang called out in a low voice and rushed towards Tang Jiawei.
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He had been concerned that if Tang Jiawei and the others were captured alive, the situation would become troublesome. Now he could see clearly that the dark shadow was Tang Jiawei, Tang Yulin, and Tang Feng, which made him relax.
"Jiawei! How are you all?" Old Master Tang rushed to Tang Jiawei's side, asking with concern.
"Grandfather?!" Upon seeing Old Master Tang, Tang Jiawei exclaimed in surprise, "Grandfather, are you alright?"
"Let me check!" Jiang Chen landed beside Tang Jiawei and the others, his brow furrowing tightly. Without exchanging greetings, he immediately reached out to check the pulses of Tang Yulin and Tang Feng.
The two were on the brink of death, their breaths so faint they could expire at any moment.
Old Master Tang held his tongue, watching Jiang Chen with an anxious expression.
"The collision of forces has injured their brains and souls; it's a bit tricky to treat!" Jiang Chen quickly said, taking a porcelain bottle from his pocket and pouring out two elixirs.
"Soul Nourishing Pills?!" Tang Jiawei exclaimed upon seeing the elixirs.
Jiang Chen didn't acknowledge Tang Jiawei, directly placing the elixirs into the mouths of Tang Yulin and the others.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At this moment, Old Master Tang and the others hurried over.
"Their injuries must be treated immediately!" Jiang Chen spoke gravely. "You all go ahead to the manor. I'll stay behind to heal them!"
Old Master Tang nodded solemnly, gratefully saying, "Young Jiang, thank you!"
"Mr. Jiang, thank you! Thank you!" Tang Jiawei spoke with a face full of shame, bowing deeply to Jiang Chen.
Hum!
A vast, faint aura arrived, causing everyone's face to change sharply as they all looked up towards the manor.
Jiang Chen glanced in the direction of the manor and quickly took out Silver Needle, beginning simple treatment for Tang Yulin and Tang Feng to stabilize their conditions.
"Jiawei, what's happening at the manor? Who is in battle? How could a Venerable Realm powerhouse appear?!" Old Master Tang urgently asked.
Jiawei quickly explained the situation concisely, and then with an anxious face, he pleaded, "Grandfather, all Venerable Elders, please go save Yucheng. He has already repented. Please save him!"
"Young Jiang, we'll go ahead first!" Old Master Tang softly instructed, then leaped towards the manor, and the Lou Family Patriarch, among others, followed suit. Yan Hu, however, stayed behind to guard by Jiang Chen's side.
Just as they left, Mo Tianze and his companions arrived. Seeing the situation, they quietly inquired Yan Hu and each one's face showed a complex expression.
Shua, shua, shua!
A flicker of silver light, Jiang Chen finished with the needles and stood up, turning his head to Mo Tianze and the others: "Advisor, Ouyang Elder, Jing Yi, Wan Ru, you all stay here, please. Take care of them, they won't be waking up anytime soon. Hu Zi and I will go have a look inside the manor!"
"Alright! Be careful!" Mo Tianze nodded.
Ye Jingyi and Tang Wanru didn't speak but their eyes held a worrisome gaze.
"Don't worry!" Jiang Chen said, reaching out to touch Ye Jingyi's hair.
Ye Jingyi gently nodded her head.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Jiang Chen and Yan Hu turned and leaped towards the interior of the manor, with Jiawei hastily following them.
...
Inside the Tang family villa manor.
Boom!
A loud explosion and the central villa burst open.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Several figures shot out from the shattering villa debris; it was Tang Yucheng and others.
Pu!
Tang Yucheng spat out a jet of liquid glowing green, his face filled with shock and anger: "What the hell is this?!"
"This is the great Eight-Headed Great God, Tang Yucheng, you're done for! Your Tang Family is destined to be destroyed because of you! Haha..." Elder Zhao laughed loudly.
Huala, huala, huala!
The ruins of the villa suddenly rose up, and a pitch-black mist serpent flew out from the rubble, hovering in midair among the ruins with five heads and five tails!
"We pay homage to the Eight-Headed Great God!"
"We pay homage to the Eight-Headed Great God!"
Elder Zhao and the others all knelt down sincerely worshiping the mist serpent in the sky.
Tang Yucheng's face turned extremely ugly, staring intently at the mist serpent in the air with a deep gaze in his eyes.
"Gene Warrior?!" The Black Mist Serpent looked at Tang Yucheng with a hint of suspicion: "Are you the genetic experiment created by Fa'erxi? It seems that fellow's genetic research has finally achieved some success!"
A glint flashed in Tang Yucheng's eyes, and he whispered, "Great Venerable Fa'erxi? You know of Great Venerable Fa'erxi?"
"Heh! Of course, I know that youngster. If it weren't for me, he would have died at the hands of the Jiang Family ancestor a long time ago," the Black Mist Serpent said with a faint smile, giving Tang Yucheng a meaningful look: "Young fellow, what do you say about joining me? I can give you even greater power, far beyond what Fa'er can offer you!"
"Dream on!" Tang Yucheng sharply retorted: "I was wrong before, but now, I must atone for my mistakes. Today, none of you will leave here alive!"
