"Spreading it from our end... that does seem more credible, so let's handle it ourselves!" Zai Lun considered for a moment and nodded slightly.

"However... it can't be too abrupt. You hidden families only enter the world after certain intervals, which is a bit troublesome," Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

"Enter the world? The hidden families have already entered the world, it's just that our Huangluo Clan hasn't sent the younger generation out yet," Pu Liang said, surprised.

"They've already entered the world?" Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned and looked at Pu Liang in amazement.

Supreme Long Huang chuckled and said, "The hidden families entered the world a year ago, but at first, they familiarized themselves with the current world, playing the role of ordinary people and working in various industries for a while, achieving a better understanding of the current social dynamics."

"It's quite possible that while you're walking down the street, an IT guy passes by, and if you take a closer look, you could feel the fluctuations of Inner Qi! If you don't inspect, unless their strength is far below yours, you probably won't notice—it's not uncommon for members of the hidden families to know some Cultivation Techniques for concealing their presence!"

"Of course, this is useless against you, Young Jiang. Your sensitivity to qi is too high. Unless their strength exceeds yours, you would be able to detect it!"

When mentioning 'exceeding your strength', Supreme Long Huang's tone shifted slightly, as he was aware that Jiang Chen had the capability to sense the Inner Qi fluctuations of others, even those above his level.

Jiang Chen's expression shifted slightly, and he furrowed his brow.

"What's wrong?"

Supreme Long Huang looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, murmuring to himself, could this kid be getting upset just because I said he's sensitive to qi?

"Now that the hidden families have been in the world for a year, why haven't they shown up during the Gene Organization and Soul Devouring Group's repeated troubles throughout this year?" Jiang Chen's voice took on a hint of chill.

Everyone was slightly taken aback, their gazes quickly flitting.

"Alas!" Supreme Long Huang sighed softly and said with a bitter smile, "I don't expect them to help, but I hope they don't cause trouble!"

"Cause trouble?!"

Jiang Chen looked at Supreme Long Huang in surprise.

With a rather unpleasant look, Supreme Long Huang said, "You're also aware of the recent great battle in the Flame Dragon Martial Arts World. Our Flame Dragon Group has nearly offended most of the hidden families. There are hardly any families that we didn't plunder back then, and now that they've entered the world, I'm genuinely worried they might choose this time to make trouble for us!"

"At this critical moment, if they were to stab us in the back during our battle with the Gene Organization and the Soul Devouring Group, then..."

Supreme Long Huang didn't finish, but everyone already understood.

Zai Lun and others fell silent; there wasn't much they could do about this situation. The Flame Dragon Group's actions had been rather extreme, and they could understand why, since they had done similar things while ruling this continent. As ruling families, they understood the necessity of such actions, but the other families would not consider it from that perspective!

"Regardless, Supreme Long Huang, please locate them!"

Jiang Chen spoke gravely, "After they are found, the Flame Dragon Group shouldn't show its face. I will have someone probe their intentions. If they can be persuaded, then all is well. But if... if they are set on seeking revenge against the Flame Dragon Group, we'll have to take a strong stance. In the current situation, we cannot afford to be backstabbed. That blow might just be our fatal wound."

Supreme Long Huang's expression changed slightly as he nodded somberly, "Okay, I'll arrange to look into the descendants of the hidden families who have entered the world."

"Mr. Jiang, if it comes to that, you may end up opposing all the hidden families. You should think it over carefully!" Zai Lun stared intently at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen offered a wry smile. "I don't want to deal with the Flame Dragon Group's mess, but if Supreme Long Huang and the others get involved, it might just provoke them further, which would be worse!"

"With the current situation, we can't afford to weaken ourselves. The more I understand the Gene Organization and the Soul Devouring Group, the more formidable they seem. If we can't unite all of our efforts against them, we are likely to be defeated."

"Our defeat wouldn't matter much, but who would suffer after? Can I just stand by and watch the Flame Dragon fall into the hands of those bastards?"

Jiang Chen's gaze hardened, a cold look flashing in his eyes, "If those hidden families seek revenge from the Flame Dragon Group, I don't object. After all, it was the Flame Dragon Group that wronged them in the past. Whether it was necessary or not, from their perspective, their desire for revenge is understandable!"

"But not now! At least wait until we handle the upcoming two major events in the Martial Dao World and the incident with the Mutant Gene Potion!"

"If they cause trouble before then..."

As he spoke, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Zai Lun, Pu Liang, and Li Tianchong exchanged glances, all revealing a look of approval. This is indeed the responsibility befitting the Dragon Descendant!

"Young Jiang, thank you!" Supreme Long Huang exclaimed with a sigh. "If it weren't for you, our Flame Dragon Group would probably be at their wits' end right now!"

"Enough, old man, stop trying to butter me up."

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at Supreme Long Huang irritably. "Let me tell you, once the situation stabilizes, I don't care whether your Flame Dragon Group is fighting with those hidden families or not. The mess you caused is yours to deal with!"

"Fine!"

Supreme Long Huang smiled and nodded, well aware that although Jiang Chen said this, when the time came, he would surely step in, not necessarily wiping out the hidden families for the Flame Dragon Group but at least mediating with his friends.

This too was the responsibility of a Dragon Descendant!

Previous Dragon Descendants weren't rulers of this continent, but they were its most convincing figures.

Jiang Chen had not yet reached this point, but Supreme Long Huang believed he wasn't far from it.

"Mr. Jiang, when you mentioned the two major events in the Martial Dao World just now, were you referring to the Alchemy Competition in Elixir Valley and the Martial Arts Tournament?" Pu Liang's eyes flickered as he spoke softly.

Jiang Chen's expression turned solemn as he nodded slightly, "I've received information that the Gene Organization, the Soul Devouring Group, and the Dark Church are likely to take advantage of these two grand occasions, so we are also preparing to protect against that."

"Count us in!" Zai Lun said resolutely. "Mr. Jiang, when the time comes, the Huangluo Clan will also be present, and you can command our people as you see fit!"

"This…"

Jiang Chen was taken aback, his expression brightening as he clasped his hands in thanks, "Then I am grateful..."
