"This is the Supreme Long Huang of the Flame Dragon Group!"

Cha Long introduced in a low voice.

Leng Ming was startled for a moment and exclaimed, "What? You are the Supreme Long Huang?!"

Furrowing his eyebrows tightly, Leng Ming glanced at Jiang Chen and then stared intently at the Supreme Long Huang, "You are from the Flame Dragon Group? Isn't he the Family Head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng?"

"Young Jiang is the head of the Jiang Family; I am merely accompanying him here!" The Supreme Long Huang spoke indifferently.

Leng Ming's expression shook violently, incredulously looking at Jiang Chen again, his suspicions growing even deeper as he turned and glared fiercely in a certain direction.

Following Leng Ming's gaze, Jiang Chen and the others looked over to see Leng'ao hurriedly turning his head away, avoiding eye contact.

"Damn it! What is this Leng'ao trying to do?" Cha Long cursed softly, anger evident in his eyes.

"Alright, let's set aside what's happening here for now, Long Huang, the ancestor wants to meet with you, including him!" Pu Liang glanced deeply at Jiang Chen, then turned to look at the Supreme Long Huang.

"What? The ancestor wants to meet him personally?!" Leng Ming jumped, letting out an astonished cry.

"What? Didn't you understand what I said just now? I am only accompanying Young Jiang; he is the main character of this visit!" Long Huang glanced at Leng Ming, his voice detached.

"He…" Frowning deeply, Leng Ming glanced at Jiang Chen again and then turned to look at Leng'ao not far away, a sudden thought flashing in his mind, gritting his teeth, he muttered, "I've been used by that bastard Leng'ao?"

"Seems likely!" Cha Long said coldly, casting a glance in the direction of Leng'ao.

"Damn it!" Leng Ming cursed softly and turned to go settle the score with Leng'ao.

"Leng Ming, wait until you've seen the ancestor before dealing with your business. The ancestor has also called for you. Not just you, but your father is already there waiting!" Pu Liang called out to Leng Ming.

Leng Ming stopped dead in his tracks, his voice full of shock, "The ancestor wants to see me too? My father has gone as well? This…"

"Pu Liang, let's go, don't keep elder Li waiting!" the Supreme Long Huang said softly.

Pu Liang?! The last emperor of the previous dynasty seemed to be...

Jiang Chen inwardly exclaimed, glancing at Pu Liang's clothes and immediately realized the old man's identity.

"Let's go!" Pu Liang called out, leading the way ahead.

As they walked, Long Huang recalled the formation they'd encountered and asked softly, "Pu Liang, isn't that formation the secret of your clan?"

"No! This formation was deduced by our ancestor from a set of incomplete formations he acquired."

Pu Liang responded, then turned to look at Jiang Chen, squinting slightly: "Just now, Mr. Jiang, you mentioned you understood that formation? And the formation you know is even more powerful than the one Leng Ming and the others used?"

Jiang Chen glanced at Pu Liang without responding.

Pu Liang's face darkened, his eyes widened as if about to erupt in anger.

"Young Jiang," the Supreme Long Huang interjected in a timely manner, "Tell us, what's going on here? I'm quite curious too!"

"This formation is not some rubbish Reversed Eight Banners Formation; it's called the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Array. What they were using... what is all this, it's been altered beyond recognition, they can't bring out even one-tenth of the formation's original power!" Jiang Chen said with a sneer, his expression unmoved.

"Not even one-tenth unleashed!?"

Cha Long exclaimed, urgently saying, "When Leng Ming and the others joined forces, while they can't claim to have truly defeated a warrior of the Venerable Realm, they at least managed a draw when the Venerable didn't use Heaven and Earth Vital Energy!"

"A Venerable who doesn't use Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, what's the difference compared to a Peak Semi Venerable Venerable, other than having a bit more abundant Inner Qi?" Jiang Chen glanced at Cha Long.

Cha Long paused, then closed his mouth sullenly. Jiang Chen was right; there really was no difference.

"Mr. Jiang, is the battle array you master complete?" Pu Liang's eyes lit up, and he spoke with a hint of urgency.

Jiang Chen looked at Pu Liang indifferently and said casually, "Whether the battle array I master is complete, what does that have to do with you, senior?"

"You..." Pu Liang was left speechless by Jiang Chen's retort and turned his head away in frustration.

The Supreme Long Huang chuckled softly and covertly gave Jiang Chen a thumbs-up.

Leng Ming, who stood to the side, looked at Jiang Chen in amazement, waves of shock rising in his heart. What was going on?

Why was the Third Ancestor so indulgent with this Jiang Chen?

And the ancient ancestor wanted to meet him in person?

Just what was his identity?

I...

Hmph, that bastard Leng'ao, I'll definitely have to deal with him properly!

...

At this moment, on the martial arts arena, Leng'ao saw Pu Liang personally intervene to lead Jiang Chen and the others away. His heart trembled, and his eyes filled with a frantic look.

After a moment of thought, Leng'ao turned to Li Juncheng and said, "Dad, let's go find the ancestral grandfather!"

"Xiao'ao, you're being too hasty! I should have stopped you earlier when you were agitating Leng Ming," Li Juncheng spoke in a low voice.

Leng'ao was taken aback and looked at Li Juncheng with surprise, "Dad, you…"

"You think I don't want it? It's just that you also know Jiang Chen's identity. This matter needs a long-term plan, but... you were still too impulsive. Now that things have turned out like this, we only have one option: to act quickly! Let's go to your ancestral grandfather and ask him to help contain the Long Huang duo. If we wait a few more days and the ancient ancestor speaks out in person, I fear no one will dare to touch him!" Li Juncheng frowned as he spoke.

"Dad, I thought you..." Leng'ao's eyes lit up with surprise as he looked at Li Juncheng.

"Those are two types of ancient martial arts that can cultivate a martial soul! Who could resist being tempted?" Li Juncheng's eyes showed a dense greed, a stark difference from his usual scholarly demeanor.

"Let's go!" Calling out to Leng'ao, the father and son hurriedly left the martial arts arena.

The instructors at the martial arts arena glanced at the two leaving but did not interfere. Leng'ao and his son were bona fide members of the Huangluo Clan, beyond the reach of these descendants of the Imperial Guard Army.

The father and son rushed to a palace located towards the back of the palace complex and dashed through the main gate, rushing into a courtyard within.

In the courtyard, a large willow tree stood at the center, and beneath the tree was a square stone table where two elders were sitting opposite each other, deeply engaged in a game of Go.

"What are you two doing, rushing around in such a panic?" As Li Juncheng and his son burst into the yard, one of the elders looked up and glared at them.

"We pay our respects to Great Grandfather, Grandfather!"

"We pay our respects to Ancestral Grandfather, Great Grandfather!" Li Juncheng and his son both bowed respectfully.

"Have you two young fellows gotten yourselves into trouble again?" The elder with his back to them made a move on the Go board and turned to look at them.

Li Juncheng shook his head and smiled, "Great Grandfather, we haven't made any mistakes. On the contrary, we've discovered an incredibly joyous event!"

"Oh? A joyous event? What is it?" The elder asked curiously, still facing away from them.

"We've found two types of ancient martial arts that can cultivate a martial soul!" Li Juncheng spoke in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two elders changed dramatically.
