"Long Wuhun, have you gone dumb from the conversation just now?"

Bai Yan's eyebrows twitched fiercely, "Last week you had just sparred with me, it took me over forty seconds to defeat you, how could a team leader from Long Ya have made you spit blood in such a short time!"

"It's possible! There are over a dozen people in Long Ya who have reached the Innate Peak, and three of them have one foot in the Semi Venerable. In terms of realm, Wu Hen is at no advantage, as for actual combat experience, although Wu Hen has had his fair share and has gone through life and death situations."

Before Long Wuhun could open his mouth, Qing Yan started speaking, and even his gaze became strange as he said:

"Especially since the people from Long Ya have followed Instructor Jiang from Jiang Family on several fiery clashes with the three major organizations outside. They've experienced life and death situations perhaps even more than us, and with a freakishly talented person like Instructor Jiang training and guiding them, their combat abilities... may well be comparable to ours!"

"This…" Bai Yan and the others were startled for a moment and, upon careful consideration, realized Qing Yan made a lot of sense.

"Hahahaha!"

Zhu Yan suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Bai Yan and Xuan Yan with a mocking expression, "You two better watch out, before those three who have one foot in the Semi Venerable make a breakthrough, Qing Yan and I don't have to worry, but you two, be careful not to be replaced by one of the newcomers. After this selection ends, positions will be directly exchanged!"

Bai Yan and Xuan Yan's expressions darkened, and their eyebrows furrowed lightly.

Long Wuhun suddenly realized that the arrival of the Long Ya warriors might indeed lead to a major blood change in the Flame Dragon Group, and it was uncertain how many positions would be taken over by the Long Ya warriors.

How many will join the Kylin Squad? How exciting!

Long Wuhun pondered secretly in his heart.

The five, each with their own thoughts, began to discuss the current selection; they represented the four main squads of the Flame Dragon Group and the elite Kylin Squad, and were the main examiners of the selection.

At the same time, they would also invite the chosen ones into their respective teams.

Everything was proceeding rapidly and in an orderly fashion.

…

In Jincheng's North Suburb, there lay a towering mountain.

This mountain was nameless, but all the major families in Jincheng knew it was a private territory, yet no one knew exactly which family it belonged to.

Once, a second-generation descendant from a First-Class Family, relying on his family's power, tried to force his way into the mountain and ended up having his legs broken by two men guarding at the foot of the mountain.

Overnight, that First-Class Family disappeared. Since then, no one dared to covet this mountain.

Rumble rumble rumble...

A roaring sound emerged as a helicopter painted with special patterns rapidly approached the private summit, descending slowly towards the top of the mountain.

The mountaintop seemed as if it had been sliced off cleanly, flat and even. Upon it was constructed a huge mansion complete with pavilions, terraces, and towers. In the south part of the mansion was a small helipad.

The walls of the mansion were ten meters high, topped with barbed wire, and oddly enough, the mansion's gates were always closed, with only a small door wide enough for one person being open all year round.

Rumble rumble rumble...

The roar neared as the helicopter landed on the helipad at the mountaintop.

Whoosh whoosh!

Two men rapidly rushed to near the helicopter as it descended, staring intently at the craft's cabin door.

Crack!

The hatch opened, and Elder Qing walked out from inside.

Upon seeing Elder Qing, the expressions of the two men relaxed. They nodded to Elder Qing without a word, and then swiftly left.

"Two Innate Grandmasters serving as guards, your Flame Dragon really knows how to make a grand entrance!" Jiang Chen's figure emerged from behind Elder Qing.

Elder Qing smiled faintly, "After all, this is the headquarters of our Flame Dragon. Besides, don't your Dingyun Lake Villa and Jiang Family Courtyard also have Innate Grandmasters as guards? How can you still tease me about it?"

Jiang Chen shrugged and smiled faintly.

Originally, the mysterious forces of the Jiang Family of Jincheng were all transferred to Long Yan by Jiang Chen, and this time more than two hundred people who returned from Long Yan were partially assigned to the Jiang Family Courtyard and Dingyun Lake Villa.

After all, these two places were the most important to Jiang Chen, housing the people most important to him.

"Let's go, those old fellows should all be waiting in the conference room!" Elder Qing softly called out and led Jiang Chen off the helicopter.

Elder Qing led Jiang Chen toward a complex of loft buildings.

The architecture here was of an ancient style; a large expanse of loft buildings was situated to the north of the parking lot. Elder Qing led Jiang Chen through three checkpoints to arrive in front of a loft in the center of the complex.

"This place is only used to convene everyone when there are major events within the organization. Today, waiting for you here are the elders of the Flame Dragon, which means, at the very least, they are just entering the Venerable Realm."

Elder Qing looked meaningfully at Jiang Chen, "And among them, some might not be pleased with you!"

Jiang Chen was surveying the loft in front of him. This was the tallest building in the entire complex of lofts, with others being three, four, or five stories high, whereas this one was eight stories tall. Additionally, the ground area of this loft was ten times that of the others. Clearly, this was the main administrative building of the Flame Dragon Group.

Hmm?

Jiang Chen paused and turned to look at Elder Qing. "Someone is displeased with me?"

"You annihilated the Wang Family, and one of the people here is a sworn brother of the Wang Family's old ancestor. When the Wang Family was destroyed, Elder Hei gave him a good beating!" Elder Qing said with a faint smile.

Jiang Chen was surprised for a moment. He had annihilated the Wang Family, and Elder Hei had beaten up the sworn brother of the Wang Family's old ancestor? This...

A spark flashed in his mind, and Jiang Chen instantly understood, a grateful expression appearing in his eyes. Surely when he had destroyed the Wang Family, that person must have wanted to cause him trouble, and Elder Hei blocked him.

"Don't worry, that guy won't dare do anything to you with me here. Moreover, Elder Hei is very violent. He left a message that if that guy from Feng Cheng dares to touch you, Elder Hei will cut him down!" Elder Qing patted Jiang Chen's shoulder and reassured him softly.

"Elder Qing, what's the strength of that person from Feng Cheng?" Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked softly.

"Early stage Venerable, why? Want to give it a try?" Elder Qing joked.

Jiang Chen smiled lightly, "Early stage Venerable, I've killed one before!"

Elder Qing was taken aback, surprise showing in his eyes. Then suddenly recalling something, he frowned slightly, "You're talking about the soul clone of the Eight-Headed Serpent you killed in the ancient city, right? Don't think that just because he had the strength of a Venerable, that's all there is to the Venerable ones. He was just a soul clone; there's a big difference between him and a real Venerable!"

"Elder Qing, I understand what you mean. I won't underestimate myself, but if a Venerable in the early stage thinks he can step on me, he is thinking too highly of himself!"

Jiang Chen smiled confidently, his expression calm and without a hint of pretense.
