Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1158: Chapter 1161: Jueluo Peak

Supreme Long Huang spoke softly, ”Let’s talk about that when you meet your ancestors.”

After a pause, Supreme Long Huang turned to Li Tianchong, ”Mr. Tian Chong, were you able to control the Soul Devour on your own? How did you manage it?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned to Li Tianchong. The Soul Devouring Group was a formidable enemy, and everyone wanted to know how Li Tianchong resisted the control of the Soul Devour.

”I didn’t control the Soul Devour, nor was I afflicted by it. The injury I suffered was from a Soul Clone attack of the Eight-Headed Serpent!”

Hatred flickered in Li Tianchong’s eyes, ”In that battle a year ago, I ultimately killed my opponent, but on my way back to the Li family valley, I encountered the fourth and fifth elders!”

”At the time, I was relieved, thinking they had risked their lives to come for me, so I let my guard down. But as I approached them, they suddenly conjured a Soul Clone of the Eight-Headed Serpent and together they captured me. The Soul Clone entered my body, intending to take control of my soul!”

”This past year, I’ve been confined by Li Tianjiang and the others in a tomb deep within the valley!”

Speaking, Li Tianchong revealed a mocking expression, ”I should thank them, as everyone knows, in the Venerable Realm, one needs to strengthen their Soul Power. It’s precisely because of this year-long confrontation with the Soul Clone of the Eight-Headed Serpent that my Soul Power has grown stronger.”

”In the end, I managed to crush that Soul Clone and successfully broke through to the pinnacle of the Venerable Realm. Just as I made my breakthrough and regained my autonomy, I noticed that you were fighting the Soul Clone of the Eight-Headed Serpent, so I came out!”

”So that’s how it is!” Supreme Long Huang’s voice was filled with regret. If Li Tianchong had a way to resist the Soul Devour, it might be possible to prevent the control of the Soul Devouring Group, just as they were now pre-emptively preventing the Mutant Gene Potion!

With his doubts resolved, Long Huang turned to Jiang Chen, ”Young Jiang, let’s go to the Huangluo Clan together!”

”Alright!” Jiang Chen nodded.

”Mr. Jiang, I’d like to stay behind to sort out some family matters!” Li Fenglin spoke softly.

”Alright, after you’re done, come straight to the Jiang Family.” Jiang Chen nodded and extended an invitation.

”Thank you, Mr. Jiang.” Li Fenglin expressed his gratitude.

Li Tianchong’s eyes swiveled slightly, and he said softly, ”Mr. Jiang, I’ll go with you to the Huangluo Clan. It would be good to inform the ancestors about the current situation of our family, after all, we are a subsidiary family of the Huangluo Clan. If we want to follow you to Jincheng, we need to report it!”

”Oh, okay!” Jiang Chen nodded lightly.

”Hmph! Are some people trying to betray our Huangluo Clan and seek refuge elsewhere?” A cold snort sounded, as Leng’ao looked at Li Tianchong with a mocking gaze.

”Leng’ao, shut up!” Cha Long’s face changed as he barked out a command.

The Li family was not like other subsidiary families, and while Leng’ao was clueless, Cha Long knew very well, otherwise he wouldn’t have kept quiet when Li Tianchong and the others were discussing following Jiang Chen!

”Second Brother, Tian Cheng, you stay behind and help Feng Lin with the sorting. Once you’re done, head straight to Mr. Jiang in Jincheng,” Li Tianchong instructed Li Tianlin and Fang Tiancheng, ignoring Leng’ao’s provocation.

”Okay!” Li Tianlin and the others nodded.

The group split up, with Li Fenglin and three others heading back to the valley, while Jiang Chen and company found a river to rest by the riverbank.

”Elder Qing, did you find Li Juncheng? How did that matter go?” Jiang Chen sat under a tree, turning to Elder Qing.

Elder Qing smiled slightly, nodding towards Huangluo Juncheng, ”He is Li Juncheng.”

”Ah?” Jiang Chen was surprised for a moment, turning to look at Huangluo Juncheng.

Huangluo Juncheng smiled slightly and explained in a low voice, ”The descendants of the Huangluo Clan always use the ’Li’ surname when abroad, after all, the surname Huangluo is too special, and the family does not want to draw too much attention.”

”Oh!”

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, his eyes darting around as he began to form some calculations in his mind.

Leng’ao glanced at Jiang Chen, whose eyes were also constantly shifting, as if he too was scheming something.

...

The Dark Forest Mountain Range was located in the northern part of Manna Province and the northwest part of Mo Province. It was the most well-preserved and largest original forest in Flame Dragon and acted as a watershed between the plateau of Manna Province and the northern plains.

Because this was an original forest, many areas were rarely visited by humans. The Li family’s valley was one, and the peak named by the Huangluo Clan as Jueluo Peak was another!

Jueluo Peak rose two thousand meters above sea level, with most of the mountain covered in snow almost all year round, except for the lower three hundred meters which only saw snow in winter.

At the line where the snow-capped peaks and the mountain range divided, the Huangluo Clan had cleared a plateau and built many palatial-style buildings upon it.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

At the base of Jueluo Peak, several figures leaped from a distance and stopped at the foot of the mountain.

”Mr. Jiang, this is where our Huangluo Clan resides! This mountain is called Jueluo Peak,” Cha Long lifted his hand and pointed to the peak.

This group was non other than Jiang Chen and the rest who had come after some rest. Now, their team consisted only of Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, Supreme Long Huang, Li Tianchong, Cha Long, Li Juncheng, and Leng’ao, seven people in total.

Their vehicles had been destroyed in the great battle, so everyone had no choice but to travel on foot.

Qingyuan Yingzi had just broken through to the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm, and since it wasn’t her own breakthrough, she needed several days of meditation to stabilize her cultivation. Jiang Chen had sent her back to Jincheng, and since it was unnecessary for Elder Qing to relay information with Jiang Chen present, Elder Qing also went back to Jincheng to deal with other affairs, and the two left together.

”This mountain is indeed majestic and magnificent!” Jiang Chen looked up at Jueluo Peak and couldn’t help but express his admiration.

Glancing down at the base of the mountain, Jiang Chen asked confusedly, ”How do we get up there? Leap up?”

There was no visible path up the mountain at its base, only a large area of towering rocks.

Cha Long smiled slightly, walked up to a large rock at the foot of the mountain, and tapped it a few times.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Suddenly, two large rocks at the base of the mountain moved to each side, revealing a hidden mountain path.

”Mechanical Techniques, it’s rare to see these things nowadays!” Jiang Chen commented with a smile, glancing at the sides of the secret mountain path.

Hidden in the bushes on both sides of the path were several faint presences. Jiang Chen knew that these were likely sentries at the foot of the mountain, and had they not been accompanied by Cha Long, they would probably have been stopped from advancing as soon as they approached.

”Please,” Cha Long gestured at the mountain path and took the lead, heading up first.

Jiang Chen and the others followed, with Li Juncheng and Leng’ao walking last.

As they walked up the mountain path, waves of emotion surged through Jiang Chen’s heart, and he was secretly astonished.
