"Supreme Long Huang, Supreme Shikui, what are you doing? I haven't conspired with Sidami over anything, what I'm doing has nothing to do with him!"

Lu Liya was taken aback and quickly explained.

Supreme Long Huang's face was gloomy as he said, "If you didn't conspire with Sidami, then how did you know he was bringing people here? And why did you lead Shi Kui and them to the sea area a hundred miles away from where Director Tang died? Isn't it because being close to that location, you could sense the battle aura? Why would you want to sense the battle aura?"

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce killing intent burst forth from Supreme Long Huang, and Jiang Chen and the others all erupted with a chilling murderous aura and a bloodthirsty, violent atmosphere!

Saha and his companion's pupils shrank as they cast a deep look at Jiang Chen, Spirit You, Yan Hu, and Ying Zi, sensing that the aura emanating from each of them had very distinct characteristics.

The aura within Jiang Chen was ancient and remote, as domineering and bloodthirsty as a prehistoric beast.

Spirit You's aura was icy, extremely icy, pure enough to make one's soul shiver from the cold.

Within Yan Hu, the aura was violent and profound, the kind of pure, unadulterated violence, as if this person's aura was nothing but violent with no other impurities.

The final one, Ying Zi, was ethereal and mysterious, her floating soul power made those who sensed her aura feel as if their souls were being pricked by needles!

Each of these four distinct features would require exceptional innate talents to cultivate, especially the ancient and remote aura of Jiang Chen, making Saha and his companion feel as if Jiang Chen was an ancient being from a distant past!

These four were incredibly frightening?

"I..."

Lu Liya's face turned pale, feeling the killing intent of everyone, a wave of lethal threat surged within her heart.

"I just discovered Sidami bringing some people along, and secretly entering the Flame Dragon Territory, so I thought I'd come along to see. At the time, the four of us happened to be together, and since Supreme Shi Kui was a member of the Flame Dragon Group, calling him along wouldn't cause unnecessary conflicts, so I simply found an excuse to bring them along."

Cold sweat dripped down Lu Liya's face as she spoke urgently, "I truly didn't know what Sidami was planning, let alone that he intended to assassinate you, Supreme Long Huang. Think about it, if I knew he wanted to attack you, and I were in cahoots with him, why would I bring Supreme Shi Kui along?"

Lu Liya's voice carried a hint of grievance; she genuinely only wanted to see what Sidami was up to, without any other intentions, and Supreme Long Huang's disposition of a decisive situation made her feel extremely wronged.

However, she could not blame Supreme Long Huang or Supreme Shikui, for given Supreme Long Huang's statement that Sidami wanted to kill him, following Sidami would indeed arouse suspicion!

"Is that so?"

Supreme Long Huang spoke coldly, somewhat unable to determine if Lu Liya was lying, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Chen.

Supreme Long Huang was well aware of his limitations; analyzing and judging were things Jiang Chen was genuinely better at.

Receiving Supreme Long Huang's gaze, Jiang Chen pondered briefly and spoke coldly, "Lady Lu Liya, let me ask you a question. When you noticed Sidami bringing people over, why didn't you directly inform Supreme Shi Kui and the others, instead opting to approach in this manner?"

"I..."

Lu Liya's expression changed slightly, her eyes flickered with a hint of panic as she said, "I just wanted to see what he was planning, I didn't think too much!"

"A peak Venerable Realm master bringing a dozen Venerable Realm experts, abandoning the main business of your Grand Virtue Gate to secretly enter my Flame Dragon Territory, and you tell me you didn't think too much?" Jiang Chen shouted angrily.

Lu Liya, embarrassed and furious, shouted back, "Who do you think you are? A mere rubbish in the Early Stage Venerable Realm, daring to talk to me this way? Do you qualify to question me? Do you think you..."

"Kill!"

Before Lu Liya could finish, Jiang Chen shouted out loud.

Swish! Swish!

Supreme Long Huang and Supreme Shikui instantly attacked Lu Liya.

Jiang Chen and the others swiftly retreated. They only needed to block Lu Liya at crucial moments, ensuring she didn't escape; the main attackers were not to be them. The residual waves from the battle of peak Venerable Realm masters weren't something they, in the Early or Mid Venerable Realm, could withstand.

As Jiang Chen and the others retreated, Ying Zi and Elder Qing fully mobilized their Inner Qi, their aura surged abruptly, stopping a hundred meters away following Jiang Chen and the others' retreat.

They hovered mid-air, forming a triangular formation with the battle group, always ready to stop Lu Liya from fleeing.

As the fight broke out, Saha and his companion were shocked, immediately darting into the air, gazing in astonishment at Supreme Long Huang and Supreme Shikui as they struck a deadly blow from the very start.

"What's going on here? I don't quite get it? Should we intervene?" Hu Hada looked blankly at Saha.

Saha frowned tightly, glanced at the battle below, then looked up at the group who had retreated five hundred meters away, his gaze fixed on Jiang Chen.

Seeing that Saha wasn't responding, Hu Hada frowned and looked over, noticing Saha's expression, and followed his gaze to Jiang Chen.

"Right! Wasn't it that kid who issued the last attack order? Who is he?" Hu Hada suddenly remembered something, asking in surprise.

Saha withdrew his gaze, looking once more at the battle below, an unusual expression flickering in his eyes.

Just a couple of days ago, he received news of a battle breaking out in the Imperial Palace where his younger queen resided, initiated by a pivotal figure named Jiang Chen, causing Saha to link Jiang Chen's resolute intent to kill Lu Liya with that battle!

"Saha, Hu Hada, save me! I'll tell you a secret! A secret that can allow you both to break through to the Saint Realm!" Suddenly, Lu Liya's urgent cry echoed from below.

Among the five major consecrates, Lu Liya's strength was the weakest. Being the finest below the Saint Realm within the Flame Dragon Group, Supreme Long Huang, a top-tier existence in the peak Venerable Realm, could slay Lu Liya alone, not to mention with the help of Supreme Shikui, who was not much inferior to him. In this short moment, she had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage.

Upon hearing Lu Liya's words, Hu Hada's eyes lit up, a trace of hesitation in his gaze. Weighing both sides' combat strengths, he looked up at Saha.

Saha was the strongest among their five major consecrates; as long as Saha joined the fight, they would be confident of withdrawing unscathed. If Saha didn't join, Hu Hada intervening could very likely end up with him left in this sea!

Even though the overall strength of the Flame Dragon Group was significantly greater than the Grand Virtue Gate, the opportunity to become a saint was incredibly tempting for a peak Venerable Realm expert!
