Jincheng West Suburb courtyard.

At this time, the small courtyard could be described as impregnable.

Dozens of armed special combat soldiers encircled the exterior of the courtyard, while around the base of the courtyard walls, Earth Grade Peak Martial Artists formed a ring. Within the walls, Heavenly Peak Martial Artists surrounded the interior, and in the yard, stood more than twenty Heavenly Peak Martial Artists. At the doorway of the main bedroom in the north, four Semi Innate powerhouses were stationed.

Inside the main bedroom, Elder Master Jiang, Second Elder, Jiang Minglong, Yan Hu, Jin Chong, Medicine Saint, and others were all present, with Elder Master Jiang and the others having already been treated for their injuries.

On the bed, Jiang Chen was administering acupuncture to Elder Master Jiang.

Knock knock knock!

A series of knocks echoed as Yan Hu stepped forward and opened the door, Xing Fei walked in from outside.

"How is Xiaoqin? Is she awake?" Jiang Minglong asked anxiously.

"I've changed the Madam's clothes, but... she has not woken up," Xing Fei said softly.

"I didn't want Mother to wake up yet. With this sleep, she can rest until tomorrow morning," Jiang Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, put away the Silver Needles from Elder Master Jiang's body, and spoke softly, "Dad, don't worry, Mom is fine now!"

"That's good," Jiang Minglong nodded, and again asked tensely, "How is Grandfather? Why is his face still black?"

"Grandfather has been deeply poisoned, and we need to formulate an Elixir to treat it, but…" Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light, "once we find that bastard Jiang Minghui, we should be able to find the antidote!"

"That unfilial son Jiang Minghui should have been killed long ago!" Elder Master Jiang spoke with fierceness.

Regret flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, "It's my fault, I should never have spared him back then!"

"Chen'er, it's not your fault, you were considering he is a member of the Jiang Family, no one would have thought that this bastard would dare..." Murderous intent was undisguised in Elder Master Jiang's eyes.

Ding-a-ling!

A ringtone suddenly sounded, Jiang Chen took out his cellphone, glanced at it, and answered the call, "Hello, Miss Song."

"Mr. Jiang, I am deeply sorry for what happened to the Jiang Family. I was in Shanghai yesterday, not in Jincheng, and when I received the news, the incident had already occurred. Right now, Jiang Minghui and his people are holding a meeting in the internal conference room on the 18th floor of the Longteng Hotel, and within one hour, the Law Enforcement Bureau will not appear near the Longteng Hotel!" Song Wanqiu's apologetic voice came from the receiver.

"Thank you, Miss Song," Jiang Chen didn't say much, keeping her kindness in mind.

"Elder Yao, Elder Master, Second Elder, Yan Hu, Jin Chong, stay here. Captain Long, you take charge of protecting this place!" Jiang Chen ordered and then turned to Jiang Minglong, "Dad, let's go settle our family business."

"Alright!" A cold glint shone in Jiang Minglong's eyes as he nodded.

"Let that group go with you!" Medicine Saint suggested softly.

"There's no need, just a few of us are enough. After all, this is Jincheng, in broad daylight, we cannot have a large-scale battle break out!" Jiang Chen gently shook his head.

"Then let Fei'er, Mengte De'er, and the two Semi Innate team leaders go with you. With us here, and the Flying Eagle Special Combat Squadron present, there will be no trouble!" Medicine Saint spoke again.

"Alright!"

Jiang Chen nodded without insisting further. Given it was daytime and with Long Jianfei's Flying Eagle Special Combat Squadron there, no one would dare attack this place now, unless they wanted to become a public enemy of the Flame Dragon Kingdom.

A glimmer of cold light flashed through Jiang Chen's eyes. He picked up his cane from beside the bed and strode out of the bedroom, wrapped in an air of murderous intent, with Jiang Minglong and others following behind.

Upon reaching the courtyard, Medicine Saint looked at the two Semi Innates by the door and said gravely, "You two follow Young Jiang. Remember, act on Young Jiang's orders at all times. I've said before, I gathered and trained you to aid Young Jiang, and now, the time has come to make use of you!"

"Elder Medicine Saint, we follow you because you saved our lives, but we don't accept taking orders from him!" One of the Semi Innate glared at Jiang Chen, his tone tinged with disdain.

"Li Wuji, say that again!"

Elder Yao glared at the Semi Innate, "The Cultivation Techniques you've been training with were researched by Young Jiang, and the auxiliary Elixirs you've been taking are also provided by Young Jiang. And now you're telling me you don't accept this? When I called upon you initially, didn't all of you willingly comply?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

"He provided the training methods and Elixirs?"

"It was him? Is that even possible?"

"Is he an Alchemist?"

"How can that be! Where would you find such a young Alchemist? Didn't they say that he is the Family Head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng?"

The group of Martial Artists in the courtyard buzzed with discussion.

Jiang Chen cast a glance over the crowd and realized that most of them were hardly convinced by him. With a thought, he understood why.

Since these individuals could be gathered by Elder Yao, they were definitely Loose Cultivators with no Sect or family affiliation, and they were the proud Martial Artists who disliked settling in commercial families.

If they were willing to settle in commercial families, such powerful individuals would not lack the desire for a family; hence, although Elder Yao had saved them and they were willing to follow him, they were reluctant to follow him, the Family Head of the Jiang Family!

However, understanding aside, what Jiang Chen wanted were obedient brothers, not a group of ignorant and proud experts.

He could train more experts, but he wouldn't tolerate those who refused to be disciplined.

"So you say you don't accept me, don't you?" Jiang Chen looked coldly at Li Wuji. Since these fellows were unconvinced, he would fight until they were subdued.

Li Wuji turned to look at Jiang Chen, his face full of scorn, "Mr. Jiang, you have indeed employed cunning methods to sit in the position of Family Head of the Jiang Family at such a young age, but as Martial Artists, we only respect strength. You are not yet worthy to lead us!"

Elder Yao's face, which had been filled with anger, suddenly eased up upon hearing Li Wuji's words, and a smirk crept up the corners of his mouth.

"I'm not worthy?" Jiang Chen let out a cold laugh, his eyes radiating a chilling brilliance as he bellowed, "You can say that again!"

Whir! Whir! Whir!

An imposing aura exploded forth from Jiang Chen's body. Intense murderous intent emerged and bore down ruthlessly on Li Wuji.

"You..." Li Wuji's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly circulated his Cultivation Technique.

Yet, under the powerful suppressive aura, Li Wuji's legs slowly bent.

Eventually, he knelt to the ground.

Zhu Wenqiang, who had followed out, turned completely pale when he witnessed this scene, looking at Jiang Chen with eyes full of shock.

At the same time, a trace of eagerness flickered deep within his gaze.

"Say it one more time. Am I worthy or not?"

At this moment, Jiang Chen sneered and shouted again.

Simultaneously, his aura and murderous intent intensified further.

But this time, he wasn't just targeting Li Wuji. Instead, his formidable aura and murderous intent enveloped all the Martial Artists that Elder Yao had brought with him in the courtyard.

In that moment, everyone's look towards Jiang Chen was filled with terror.

All the Martial Artists in the courtyard turned pale, their legs involuntarily bending, slowly kneeling toward the ground!
