Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 955: 958 Chapter I’ll ask around

”Twenty li away is the base of the Dark Church, their territory is all monitored, so we can only meet here and keep an eye on them without delay. The mountain path outside is the only road leading out of the dense forest!”

Xi’er softly explained.

”Someone is coming from over there.” Jiang Chen whispered.

”What?”

Xi’er and the others were stunned momentarily, as they all extended their senses and, after three breaths, Ha’er looked at Jiang Chen with a shocked and solemn expression, ”Indeed, someone is coming, Mr. Jiang’s strength is indeed formidable!”

Xi’er and the others were inwardly shaken.

Among them, Ha’er was the strongest, having reached the late stage of the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm. Yet it took Ha’er three breaths to detect the arrival of the person after Jiang Chen’s alert. Not to mention anything else, just this sensory ability alone put Jiang Chen streets ahead of them.

”The Cultivation Technique I practice is particularly sensitive to Qi.”

Jiang Chen explained and softly suggested, ”Let’s hide for a moment and see what those people are up to. Mr. Xi, I suggest you head back to Longjiang City. Here, you might not be of any help!”

”Uh... okay!” Mr. Xi nodded lightly.

Jiang Chen had put it very diplomatically. Mr. Xi being here was not just unhelpful, but also likely to expose them all. Mr. Xi’s strength was only at Paladin Peak, whereas even the weakest among the others, Fa’er, had just entered the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm.

Mr. Xi quickly ran towards the road; since Jiang Chen had said so, there must be someone among the newcomers who could detect him, thus he needed to leave before they arrived.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As Mr. Xi left, Jiang Chen and the others quickly dispersed, leaping onto nearby large trees to conceal their aura, staring intently into the depths of the dense forest with grave expressions.

Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!

A group of men in all-black emerged from the depths of the forest and ran towards the road.

Whir! Whir! Whir!

Once that group had moved away, Jiang Chen and the others jumped down from the trees.

”A total of twelve men, two Paladin Knights at their peak, five Paladin Knights, and five Great Knights!” Xi’er quietly stated.

Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing through them, ”These must be the clansmen Wu Yati spoke of, it truly must have been difficult for them, choosing people across three generations, yet the strength is so well-balanced!”

”It must be them. Mr. Jiang, should we keep them here?” Xi’er turned his head to Jiang Chen.

”We definitely need to keep them, but not now. If we act now, the base will surely be alerted!” Jiang Chen spoke gravely, pulling out his phone to make a call.

”Beep... Beep... Hello, Dragon King.”

The call connected quickly, and Shen Xiangtian’s voice came from the receiver.

”Command!”

Jiang Chen spoke seriously, ”Have Spirit You and Feng Lang rush to Longjiang City immediately. On the road where Xuan Long and I separated earlier, there’s a group of twelve men in black, consisting of old, middle-aged, and young generations, with the strength of two peak Paladin Knights, five Paladin Knights, and five Great Knights. Have Spirit You keep a close watch on these twelve for me!”

”Yes!” came Shen Xiangtian’s solemn response from the receiver.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen’s eyes flicked around a few times before turning to Xi’er, ”Mr. Xi’er, tell me about the situation at the base, we need to make a plan of action. Since Wu Yati wants to trick me, I need to send him a return gift. The action at Longjiang City needs to be coordinated with the action here.”

”Understood.” Xi’er nodded heavily, his expression growing somber, ”Mr. Ha’er infiltrated that base last night and discovered some things. Let him speak.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen turned to look at Ha’er.

Ha’er reached into his pocket, pulled out a handful of powder, and opened it in front of Jiang Chen.

”Gene Warrior?” Jiang Chen exclaimed.

In Ha’er’s hand was a white powder speckled with green spots—Jiang Chen was quite familiar with this type of powder!

”Yes, it’s a Gene Warrior!” Ha’er nodded with a hint of surprise in his eyes, ”Mr. Jiang, have you dealt with Gene Warriors before?”

”I participated in the destruction of two Gene Exhibition bases,” Jiang Chen said with a somber expression.

Ha’er and the others were momentarily stunned, and their faces quickly revealed a look of delight.

”So Mr. Jiang is also hostile to the Gene Warriors!” Fa’erxi exclaimed happily.

Jiang Chen gave Fa’erxi a puzzled look, then turned to Xi’er, ”Mr. Xi’er should have my information, right?”

”Yes, but Lord Fa Rang has classified Mr. Jiang’s information as top secret. Within the Holy Court, only a handful of people can access them,” Xi’er explained softly.

”Top secret?”

Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized that the guardian Knight Lei’ao he had killed was the grandson of the Holy Court Vice Judgment Chief Lu Densi, and looked at Xi’er with gratitude. ”Mr. Xi’er, please convey my thanks to Lord Fa Rang.”

”Sure.” Xi’er smiled and nodded.

Ha’er and the others looked at Jiang Chen and then at Xi’er, their eyes showing a hint of confusion, but when they heard it concerned Fa Rang, they did not inquire further.

”So, the Dark Church is also involved with the Gene Organization?” Jiang Chen brought the conversation back and turned to look at Ha’er.

Ha’er nodded solemnly, ”After I infiltrated the base, I originally wanted to check the specific strength inside, but I encountered a Gene Warrior with the strength of a Paladin Knight right as I entered the central area. After I killed him, I left, as any further investigation with the presence of Gene Warriors would be futile.”

”Well... it doesn’t mean there were no results at all. Mr. Ha’er, did you find out how many Semi-Venerables there were?” Jiang Chen asked hesitantly, lowering his voice.

”I could sense five Semi-Venerables in the base, among them two early-stage Semi-Venerables, one mid-stage Semi-Venerable, and two late-stage Semi-Venerables. One of the late-stage Semi-Venerables was stronger than me. He was in the central villa, and he almost discovered me when I approached within a hundred meters of him. I didn’t dare to investigate further because of his presence,” Ha’er explained, his expression grave.

”Leave that person to me!” Jiang Chen gripped his staff tightly, eager for a good fight since his power had increased.

”Mr. Jiang, don’t underestimate the enemy!” Xi’er cautioned softly.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, ”Don’t worry, I won’t.”

”We know this much already, but we cannot guarantee that among the Gene Warriors there isn’t already someone who has reached the Semi Venerable Realm, so...” Ha’er’s eyes showed a trace of worry.

After a brief hesitation, Jiang Chen said softly, ”Let me find out, please wait a moment.”

”Find out? Mr. Jiang, who will you ask?” Xi’er and the others were taken aback and looked at Jiang Chen curiously.

PS: I just realized that urging for updates has changed now, one can even become a die-hard fan.

Wow, fans made of iron, that must require some strong teeth.

But I absolutely love it!

So, I set a flag:

In the next few days, starting from 100 urges, I will add one more Chapter for every additional 100...

Wonder if I’ll exhaust myself to death?
