"Tiangang Battle Array!"

Thirty-six Venerable Realm experts shouted in unison.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A mysterious wave spread out, as if an invisible thread was connecting the thirty-six people, and at the same time, a transparent energy shield appeared around them!

Boom!

Rumble!

Four large palms collided with four opposing attacks, and a wild burst of Qi Force suddenly spread all around.

The last attack was slightly affected by the spread of the violent Qi Force but still landed on one of the Venerable Realm Late Stage guards.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The shields on the thirty-six guards flickered simultaneously.

Boom!

A roar sounded, and as the attack settled down, none of the guards who were supposed to be blown away had moved; they had forcefully blocked the attack!

"What?! What kind of battle array is this?!"

The five formidable foes exclaimed in surprise.

Swish swish swish!

A group of figures was sent recoiling backward from the chaotic Qi Force.

You Xuan, as the attacks collided, returned the Second Soul to his body and rapidly flew diagonally backward, entering high altitude in an instant. The thirty-six guards, using the momentum of the enemy's attack, leveraged it to fly backward quickly and began retreating!

"Bastard! Did these guys plan to run from the beginning?" an elder shouted angrily.

"Chase them! We've been deceived! There's no one in the manor; we can't let them escape! Otherwise, we exposed ourselves for nothing!" another elder exclaimed urgently.

"Who do we chase?"

"Nonsense, chase You Xuan; what's the point in chasing those Venerables?"

Swish swish swish!

The five elders rushed into the high sky, pursuing You Xuan.

After fleeing for a while, the thirty-six Venerable Realm guards, seeing no one in pursuit, landed on the ground and quickly dispersed into the street.

A man glanced at the high sky, took out his phone, and sent a message.

...

In the air above the mountainside platform.

"What? You only needed them to withstand one attack and then escape? Your people would abandon your woman and flee?"

The Black Mist Serpent looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Who told you they would leave behind Jing Yi and escape?"

Ding!

At that moment, a notification sound was heard, and everyone looked toward Jiang Chen's pocket.

Jiang Chen took out his phone and glanced at it, and his expression turned somber.

"What? Have you received news that the manor has been attacked? Haha! No matter what your people do, they can't withstand the attack of five Saint Realm Peak experts! So, Jiang Chen, it's time to make a choice! I believe you will make the right choice! Haha..."

The Black Mist Serpent noticed Jiang Chen's expression and laughed heartily.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and nodded lightly, "Yes, I received news that the manor has been attacked."

Yan Hu and the others' expressions changed, looking at Jiang Chen with concern.

Among the crowd of the three hidden clans, a team of people had a flash of something in their eyes.

Sigh!

Jiang Chen sighed and turned to look at the teams from the three hidden clans, "Why? After hiding for so long, why emerge now? Dingyun Lake Manor was a bait, but I didn't expect the ones hooked to be you! I gave you a chance; I didn't even tell Dragon Saint Senior. Why did you have to reveal yourselves?"

The Supreme Emperor and Yue Tianzheng and others looked at Jiang Chen in confusion, not understanding what Jiang Chen was talking about.

Dragon Saint was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, glanced at the people from the three hidden clans, and fixed his gaze on Zhou Wanchen!

Since Jiang Chen mentioned Dragon Saint, everyone reflexively looked at Dragon Saint, then followed his gaze to see the somewhat uneasy Zhou Wanchen.

Swish swish!

The experts from the Huangluo Clan and Yue Family immediately distanced themselves from the Zhou Family, staring intently at Zhou Wanchen!

Since the last infiltration by the three major organizations, the Zhou Family's top experts were only left with Zhou Wanchen, not even a Venerable Realm Late Stage expert. Zhou Wanchen was the only person left from the Zhou Family at the scene this time!

Zhou Wanchen, with a difficult expression, glanced at Jiang Chen, then leaped, moving directly beside a Black Mist Serpent, turning coldly to face Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry. I still chose to cooperate with the Soul Devouring Group, but rest assured, your woman and your family will be well taken care of!"

"Zhou Wanchen, you bastard! Mr. Jiang risked his life to help you preserve the Zhou Family, and almost lost his Divine Soul to save you, and this is how you repay him?"

"Zhou Wanchen! Why are you doing this?"

"Do you know what you're doing? Or have they controlled you again?!"

"The Zhou Family's old ancestor betrayed us?! This..."

"What's going on? Why?"

The crowd erupted into chaos, with the Supreme Emperor and others cursing in anger, Dragon Saint and others questioning rationally, while the top experts from the remaining major forces felt utterly baffled!

"Wan Chen, what are you doing?!"

A voice, filled with a hint of a sob, rang out, as Supreme Phoenix Luan leaped next to Jiang Chen, staring directly at Zhou Wanchen, eyes filled with extreme shock, tears beginning to well up, "Why? Why are you doing this?"

"I..."

Zhou Wanchen looked at Supreme Phoenix Luan with a complicated expression, speaking bitterly, "Feng Luan, I have my burdens. Other than me, the Zhou Family doesn't even have a single Venerable Realm Late Stage expert. I can't wait any longer. The Ancient Martial Era is about to arrive. If it comes, our Zhou Family will be finished!"

"Why? Why say this? What does it matter if the Ancient Martial Era comes? We are here! Mr. Jiang is here, and so many of us are here. As long as we are here, we won't let the Zhou Family perish. Wan Chen, don't do anything foolish!" Supreme Phoenix Luan implored earnestly.

"The Ancient Martial Era is coming?"

"What do you mean? The Ancient Martial Era will come?"

The remaining people from various major forces exclaimed in surprise.

Feng Bo of Venerable Hui Tong turned to look at Dragon Saint, speaking solemnly, "Dragon Saint Senior, is what Senior Zhou says true?"

"Hui Tong, this matter will be discussed after we've destroyed the three major organizations. Once they're eliminated, I'll explain everything in detail!"

Dragon Saint spoke in a low voice, looking coldly at Zhou Wanchen, "Zhou Wanchen, you can't sidestep the fact that you've defected to the three major organizations, even if the Ancient Martial Era is imminently arriving!"

"Have I done wrong by seeking to enhance my family's survival and increase their strength faster? You all speak so grandly..." Zhou Wanchen suddenly erupted, shouting loudly.

"Enough!"

Jiang Chen shouted angrily, looking at Zhou Wanchen with disappointment, "Old Zhou, no need to act anymore! You, you're one of the Descended, right?"
