"Ao!"

The resonant roar of the dragon erupted as the Divine Dragon instantly grew larger, transforming into a thirty-foot-long behemoth that fiercely pounced toward the Black Mist Serpent.

"Damn it! Dragon Descendant, I will kill you!"

Panic showed in all six pairs of snake-eyes of the Black Mist Serpent as it let out an enraged roar.

"Ao!"

The Divine Dragon reached the Black Mist Serpent and viciously bit at the serpent's neck.

"Get off me!"

The Black Mist Serpent roared furiously, its tail lashing out and violently striking the Divine Dragon. Its six heads divided their attention and attacked both the Supreme Long Huang and Li Tianchong, who were trying to exploit an opportunity to strike.

Bang!

Jiang Chen's strength was vastly inferior to that of the Black Mist Serpent, and even though the summoned Divine Dragon's power had exceeded Jiang Chen's by tenfold, it was still far too weak when compared to the Black Mist Serpent. With one strike of the serpent's tail, the Divine Dragon was reduced to a spread of Golden Radiance.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. If the Divine Dragon couldn't withstand even a single strike from the Black Mist Serpent, what was the point of Supreme Long Huang having him release the Divine Dragon to attack the serpent?

Then, Jiang Chen's expression suddenly hardened, and Elder Qing beside him also widened his eyes.

Both of them understood at once why Supreme Long Huang wanted Jiang Chen to use the Divine Dragon to attack the Black Mist Serpent!

After the Black Mist Serpent had exploded the Divine Dragon, rather than any joy, it flicked its tail in a bid to break free from the area covered by the golden radiance.

"Hold him down!" Supreme Long Huang bellowed, launching a frenzied attack at the Black Mist Serpent.

Although Li Tianchong was also quite perplexed, he nonetheless commenced a wild assault as instructed.

Under their desperate attacks, the expression of the Black Mist Serpent grew increasingly panicked.

Finally, the panic in its six pairs of slit pupils utterly erupted, and the Black Mist Serpent bellowed, "Dragon Descendant! Jiang Chen! I will kill you! I will kill you! I'll exterminate your entire clan!"

Buzz buzz buzz!

A furious aura emanated from the Black Mist Serpent's body, with the dark fog around it turning chaotic, as if no longer under the serpent's control. Signs of collapse began to emerge.

"You two, get out now! Tian Chong, now's the time, blow him up!" Supreme Long Huang yelled out.

Elder Qing came to his senses and lifted Jiang Chen, flying out of the valley.

Boom boom boom!

Violent booming sounds echoed throughout the valley and the skies above, and the atmosphere within grew more tumultuous.

In the disorderly forest, everyone tensely watched the direction of the valley.

"Third Elder, things are not as you think! It's..." Huangluo Juncheng finally found his chance and quickly briefed the others on the events inside the valley.

Cha Long's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in shock, "What did you say? You mean to say… I, I…"

His eyes revealed extreme rage as Cha Long turned to glare at the nearby Elder Zhang, the Medicine King, while a fierce murderous intent surged within him, "Bastard! Have you actually schemed to cast me in such an ungrateful and ruthless light? I'll damn well kill you!"

Cha Long raised his hand to strike the Medicine King.

Boom boom boom!

A massive booming noise erupted from the valley, causing everyone's face to change. Cha Long no longer cared to deal with Elder Zhang, as they all looked toward the valley in unison.

Swoosh!

A black dot flew out of the valley and rapidly enlarged.

"Young Master!"

Yan Hu caught a glimpse of the black dot, joyfully opened his mouth, and attempted to stand up, but Li Fenglin held him down, "Brother Hu Zi, please, don't move. If something else happens to you, Mr. Jiang will kill me!"

Swoosh!

Elder Qing, holding Jiang Chen, landed beside Yan Hu and the others.

"Young Master!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

Seeing Jiang Chen in his current state, the crowd cried out in shock.

Whoosh!

Cha Long rushed to Jiang Chen's side, reaching for his wrist.

Swoosh!

A cold glint flashed by, and a short knife appeared in Fang Tiancheng's hand, resting against Cha Long's neck, "Cha Long, you've gone too far!"

"It's not like that, I want to check his injuries!" Cha Long said urgently.

Jiang Chen looked up at Cha Long, remembering the regret and determination in his eyes when he had attacked Cha Long earlier, then turned to Fang Tiancheng with gratitude, "Thank you, Elder Fang, let him go."

Fang Tiancheng gave Jiang Chen a hesitant look, flipped his hand, and the short knife disappeared.

Cha Long touched Jiang Chen's pulse briefly, his face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, this is Bone Soul Revival Liquid, please take it!"

"Why?"

Jiang Chen did not accept the precious Bone Soul Revival Liquid but stared straight at Cha Long.

Cha Long was stunned for a moment, then suddenly clenched his teeth and dropped to his knees.

Thump!

Cha Long knelt directly in front of Jiang Chen!

"Third Elder!"

"Third Great-Uncle?!"

"Elder Cha Long?!"

Huangluo Juncheng, Leng'ao, and the old Medicine King all cried out in surprise, and faces like Elder Qing showed shock as well!

The proud Cha Long was actually kneeling before someone?!

He was once a prince of the previous dynasty, a man who was almost a Supreme Majesty.

And such a figure knelt before Jiang Chen?

What in the world was going on?

But Cha Long didn't show the slightest discomfort; instead, he prostrated even further, with a look of sincere fear.

Then, looking up at Jiang Chen with eyes full of reminiscence, he began to speak softly,

"A hundred years ago, our ancestor went out to sea to meditate, seeking to break through to a new realm, and our Huangluo Clan faced great disaster, with various forces seizing the chance of our ancestor's absence to besiege our royal city."

"Just when we thought we'd be annihilated, suddenly, a powerful figure appeared, summoning a Golden Divine Dragon, halting the forces intent on eradicating our Huangluo Clan!"

"After those forces left, we wanted to thank that powerful individual. He declined gracefully and warned us that the era of Huangluo Clan's dominance had passed and we must adapt to the times!"

"If we truly wished to express our gratitude, we were to pass it on to the next person who could summon a Golden Divine Dragon! As soon as these words were spoken, that powerful figure left the royal city, heading eastward!"

Hearing this, everyone looked simultaneously at Jiang Chen, who had an air of realization about him.

A profound look appeared in Cha Long's eyes, and his voice grew quieter, "Later, when our ancestor returned and learned of this incident, he gave up the royal city without hesitation and led us into the deep mountains of the north. Someone asked our ancestor why we should heed that man's advice; although he saved our clan, we shouldn't abandon the family's centuries-old foundation just because of this! Our ancestor said…"

At this point, Jiang Chen's gaze sharpened, ready to listen closely.

Suddenly!

"Cha Long! Now is not the time to tell him!"

A shout rang out, and two figures appeared beside the crowd.

"Supreme Long Huang!"

"Big Brother!"

"Younger Brother!"

Everyone greeted them in turn.

But immediately after, they were stunned by the titles given by Li Tianlin and Fang Tiancheng.

Thus, everyone turned their gaze towards the figure shrouded in black mist standing next to Supreme Long Huang.
