"He is your Grandmaster?!" Mo Yunfeng exclaimed with surprise, "Head of the Jiang Family, can you tell me where he is?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, asking in confusion, "Why are you inquiring about my Grandmaster?"
"Mo Tianze... is Yunfeng's great-uncle!"
The Lou Family Patriarch's expression changed slightly, as he took over the conversation, "Back then, I was close friends with Tianze. Tianze fell in love with a girl from a Martial Sect, but the Mo Family opposed it. At that time, the old master of the Mo Family even wanted to kill the girl, but Tianze fled with her from the Mo Family, never to return!"
The Mo Family members looked at the Lou Family Patriarch with surprise, Mo Yunfeng frowning, "Lou Family Patriarch, how do you know about this?"
"Back then, when your Mo Family was searching along the river for Tianze, it was I who helped him escape from the river!" The Lou Family Patriarch glanced at an elderly man next to Mo Tianze.
The elderly man frowned and glared at the Lou Family Patriarch, "Did you deceive me back then?"
"Tiancheng, if I hadn't deceived you, Tianze would have been killed by you back then!" The Lou Family Patriarch suddenly roared, "Is the conflict between families and sects really that important? More important than the bonds of blood and kinship? Your Mo Family mobilized the entire family, collaborating with other major families to seal off the river and seek Tianze's death. How could your Mo Family be so hateful?"
Mo Tiancheng's face changed, a look of regret appearing in his eyes as he sighed dejectedly, "Beliefs harm... back then... we were wrong!"
"Head of the Jiang Family, I am Mo Tiancheng, the former head of the Mo Family, and Tianze's elder brother. I acknowledge that it was I who erred back then. That incident has become my Heart Demon, which has kept me at the peak of the Innate Grandmaster Realm, unable to take the next step!"
Mo Tiancheng looked at Jiang Chen with a face full of remorse, "Now, as my life's end draws near, I have no other desires but to see Tianze once more and personally apologize to him!"
Jiang Chen remained silent for a while, then said quietly, "Let's discuss this matter later. I wonder how you three families view the recent assaults on Ancient Martial Artists these last two years!"
The representatives of the three families were momentarily stunned, slightly confounded by Jiang Chen's abrupt shift in topic.
"We've also heard about the assaults on Ancient Martial Artists these past two years. Does Head of the Jiang Family know the details?" Tang Jiawei glanced at the Tang Family members and frowned as he spoke.
Jiang Chen once again mentioned the incident at the Divine Palace of Beihai National.
"Damn it! People from Beihai National dare to act so savagely in my Flame Dragon? Absolute scoundrels! If I knew where they were, I would surely have them spill their blood on the land of my Flame Dragon!" Mo Tiancheng cursed angrily.
The patriarch of the Dong Family, Dong Tianchen, his expression suddenly changed, staring intensely at Jiang Chen, "Did you say that that demonic Shikigami can devour Soul Power?"
"Yes!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
Dong Tianchen's face turned ashen as he spoke, "Does Head of the Jiang Family know where they are?"
"This..." Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the Tang Family members who had yet to state their position.
After pondering for a moment, Tang Jiawei said softly, "We've heard a bit about such sorcery in Beihai National, but how can you be certain it was their doing? Could it not be some other form of sorcery?"
"If Tang Family Head does not believe, he is free to leave!" Jiang Chen spoke indifferently.
"You..." Tang Jiawei's face darkened as he responded gravely, "This is the Lou Family's place, not yours, Head of the Jiang Family. Aren't you overstepping your bounds a bit?"
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, taking a deep look at Tang Jiawei before turning to the Lou Family Patriarch.
The Lou Family Patriarch looked indifferently at Tang Jiawei, "Tang Family Head, I don't know if I'm mistaken, but it seems like you are targeting Mr. Jiang. If you do not wish to be involved in this matter, you are kindly asked to leave!"
Tang Jiawei's face shifted with surprise as he looked at the Lou Family Patriarch; he had not expected him to side with Jiang Chen and ask him to leave.
After taking a deep breath, Tang Jiawei spoke softly, "Since everyone seems to trust him, I will trust him for the time being too! This matter concerns the safety of the Martial Dao World along the river, and my Tang Family will definitely intervene. However... "
Tang Jiawei looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of mockery, "Head of the Jiang Family is making this issue seem so urgent. If you don't know where those people are, that would be somewhat improper!"
"How is it improper? Knowing who those people are is already quite remarkable, isn't it? Do you know who they are?" Lou Qiangqiang snapped, glaring at Tang Jiawei.
Tang Jiawei gave Lou Qiangqiang a cold glance and chose to ignore this reckless comment.
"I know where they are, but we can't make a move right now!" Jiang Chen said gravely.
"No, we must make a move as soon as possible!" Dong Tianchen exclaimed, "Ouyang's soul power is already extremely weak, just one more absorption and he will perish. We can't wait!"
"Another absorption?!" Jiang Chen was slightly startled, his mind whirling rapidly as he muttered softly, "Once more... just one more time..."
The crowd all frowned and looked at Jiang Chen, not knowing why he had suddenly fallen into deep thought.
"Head of the Jiang Family, we're all waiting for your word, what are you thinking about? Are you teasing us?" Tang Jiawei said impatiently.
"Shut up!"
Jiang Chen snapped, giving Tang Jiawei a fierce glare.
His mind had just been sparked by Dong Tianchen's words, seemingly finding a strategy to counter the people from the Beihai National Divine Palace.
But just as he was carefully recalling that moment of inspiration, he was interrupted by Tang Jiawei's words.
This only added to his irritation.
After scolding Tang Jiawei, Jiang Chen continued to reflect on that brief moment of inspiration.
However, Tang Jiawei's expression drastically changed.
He was the Tang Family Head, a figure of authority wherever he went. When had he ever been reprimanded in front of so many people?
It was simply unbearable!
Suddenly, Tang Jiawei stood up, his face darkening as he said to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, just because you are the Head of the Jiang Family doesn't mean you can act superior here. I am the Tang Family Head, the helmsman of one of the Four Great Families. I am more than you..."
Jiang Chen became impatient immediately and, without even looking at this annoying 'fly', waved his hand and commanded the Flame Dragon behind him in a low voice:
"Silence him!"
Whoom!
An immensely powerful pressure suddenly emerged, pressing Tang Jiawei harshly back into his chair.
Thump!
The conference room, except for the Lou Family members, all watched in shock as the Flame Dragon beside Jiang Chen demonstrated its power.
"Semi Venerable Venerable!" the thin elder from the Tang Family exclaimed incredulously.
"What?!"
"He is a Semi Venerable Venerable Realm powerhouse?!"
"How is that possible?!"
The crowd all exclaimed in shock.
Whoom!
The Flame Dragon frowned, its aura fiercely emanating, no longer just suppressing Tang Jiawei but covering everyone in the conference room except the Lou Family.
The people in the conference room truly felt the aura of the Semi Venerable Venerable, all turning pale.
