"No, no, no! Mr. Jiang, please give another chance, I will definitely not make such a mistake again, definitely not!"
Elder Ming was startled, his voice filled with panic.
If Jiang Chen replaced him, he was afraid that Black and White Impermanence would flay him alive.
This was the only thing they were doing for Lord Xue in Unchanging Valley right now.
Although Gong Lin was also guarded by Wu Qianxun, Gong Lin rarely went abroad; dostically, Gong Lin’s safety could basically be guaranteed. Protecting Yu Wan was the key focus, and where Unchanging Valley contributed most of their efforts.
If they even stopped protective work on this front, then Unchanging Valley had almost done nothing for Jiang Chen, which, for them, would an losing their purpose of existence!
"Elder Ming, I hope you won’t disappoint again!"
Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, pulling a porcelain bottle from his pocket and handing it over: "This is a Polyporus Barrier Breaking Elixir, I hope you can break through soon, and better protect Yu Wan!"
"Polyporus Breaking Mirror Elixir?!" Elder Ming’s heart shuddered violently, his face full of shock as he looked at the bottle in Jiang Chen’s hand.
"This..." Wu Qingshuang’s eyes widened, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, fearful she might scream aloud.
"Take it!" Jiang Chen spoke again.
Gratitude appeared in Elder Ming’s eyes as he reached out to take the porcelain bottle, his face a complex mix of emotions as he looked at Jiang Chen.
Delivering a slap then offering a candied date was a tactic commonly used by those in higher positions.
But this type of tactic was extraordinarily effective.
Especially now, what Jiang Chen offered was not rely a candied date.
It was a key item for breaking through the heavenly barriers. With the Polyporus Breaking Mirror Elixir, Elder Ming was very likely to advance to Venerable status, becoming a true person above others.
This tactic truly struck deep in Elder Ming’s heart.
Thump!
A muffled sound rang out as Elder Ming fell to his knees in front of Jiang Chen.
His expression extrely solemn, he said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Jiang. If Miss Ye suffers even a single hair’s harm, I, Ming God, shall atone with my death!"
"Get up, I don’t wish for your death; I am still waiting for you to break through and join in battle!"
Jiang Chen said with a light chuckle, helping Elder Ming up, his expression then turned serious, saying solemnly, "Notify Black and White Impermanence to make a trip to Dingyun Lake Villa in Dingjing. I have left so Polyporus Breaking Mirror Elixirs at Elder Yao’s place, have them take it away, and make the Elixirs worth more than they cost. I’ve also prepared a little sothing for Chixiao Sect, which I’ve already had my father send to Chixiao Sect. The dostic situation is getting more complicated, and the Martial Dao Conference is soon upon us, we need to grow stronger!"
"Yes!" Elder Ming nodded profoundly.
"The mont the Martial Dao Conference begins is the mont the Shadow Clan will see the light of day once more!" Jiang Chen solemnly promised.
"Yes!" Elder Ming nodded again, excitent shining in his eyes.
The Shadow Clan had been treated like street rats for too long, and they were truly eager to rebuild their glory.
And Jiang Chen was their hope.
Not just because they had confird that Jiang Chen was the current Lord Xue, but also due to Jiang Chen’s strength and his connections.
Chixiao Sect, Jiang Family of Jincheng,, Tang Family, Mo Family, Dong Family, Tang Family, and Lou Family of the Five Great Martial Arts Families—at least four of these were bound by life and death with him. Even the Dong Family which was not very close to him would definitely not beco Jiang Chen’s enemy.
This was equivalent to having half of the Martial Dao world’s elite forces as Jiang Chen’s allies, under such a Lord Xue.
Therefore, seeing the light of day again was just a matter of ti!
Once everyone had taken their seats again, Jiang Chen’s brow furrowed slightly as he murmured, "The only thing I haven’t figured out yet is why the Dark Church is suddenly sending so many people to Fla Dragon. Aren’t they afraid of being exposed?"
"Could it be they think you would definitely help them cover it up well?" Ye Yuwan spoke softly.
"Impossible! They have been cautious for so long, how could they suddenly beco so reckless, and although they have drawn into their fold, they definitely do not trust completely!" Jiang Chen gently shook his head.
Ding-a-ling-ling!
The ringtone of the phone chid, and Jiang Chen took out his phone to look at it, his eyes instantly lighting up, "Hello, Chief Judge Xi’er."
"Mr. Jiang, I wonder if there’s a chance we could fight side by side this ti! Haha!" Xi’er imdiately got straight to the point with a laugh.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "There’s a good chance that might happen!"
"Oh?!" Xi’er was taken aback for a mont. He was just probing, but he didn’t expect Jiang Chen to respond this way, and couldn’t help expressing interest, "Is that true? Mr. Jiang, will you help us out?"
In the courtyard of a rural house in Ross City, Xi’er’s face was full of surprise.
Beside him stood Fa’erxi, Bu Langshi, Ha’er, and an elderly man dressed in simple clothes, all of whom looked up at Xi’er.
"Mr. Xi’er, Ya Si ca to see just now, wanting to cooperate with ..." Jiang Chen’s voice ca from the earpiece.
As Xi’er was listening, his brow furrowed deeply, and he spoke in a somber tone, "Mr. Jiang, the Dark Church is planning to move to the Fla Dragon again!"
"Yes, just this ti they are moving more personnel. I wanted to ask if you have done sothing recently to provoke them?" Jiang Chen’s puzzled voice sounded from the receiver.
"Yes! After we destroyed the base in Tamwood Country, the few of us haven’t even reported back when we received orders from above instructing us to rush here directly. Only then did we realize that on the night we took action in Tamwood Country, battles also broke out in other places."
Xi’er spoke gravely:
"However, their results were a bit worse than ours, allowing many from the Dark Church to escape. That night, a total of more than ten bases of the Dark Church were destroyed, and those who escaped amounted to a thousand people. We received news that those people all fled to Ross City, so we followed them here!"
"A thousand people?!" Jiang Chen’s exclamation ca through the receiver.
"Yes, a thousand people. After so many years of growth, a thousand people are not that much for the Dark Church. But don’t worry, Mr. Jiang, we have already obtained part of the list. Our plan is to take down the Fulang family to force those people to show themselves and escape. Once they appear, we will capture them all!"
Xi’er spoke with confidence.
"It’s not that I’m surprised by this!" Jiang Chen’s grave voice ca through the receiver: "Well, where are you guys? I’ll co to you; so things can’t be made clear over the phone."
"Great! We are in the slums on the east side of Ross City. Let know when you’re about to arrive, and I’ll co to the slums to et you!" Xi’er spoke softly.
"Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Xi’er pondered for a mont, then looked towards Ha’er and the simply dressed elderly man, and said solemnly:
"Mr. Jiang is coming over to et us."
