Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1254: Chapter 1257: Sophistry

”Mr. Jiang, you mean...”

”The people from Unchanging Valley are from the Shadow Clan!?”

”How... How is that possible!?”

”Mr. Jiang, are they really...”

A series of exclamations rang out in the meeting room, with everyone looking at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

”Yes, the people from Unchanging Valley are indeed from the Shadow Clan of years past!” Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

”What?!”

”They really are from the Shadow Clan?!”

”This...”

”The Shadow Clan! Their entire clan has actually survived all this time!”

Everyone’s expressions became complex as they cried out in response.

”Let’s set aside the matter of the Shadow Clan for now; we need to deal with the Flame Dragon Group first!”

Jiang Chen redirected the topic and turned his head to Si She and Shen Hou: ”With the results of the investigation into the Shadow Clan, are you still doubtful?”

”You...” Si She’s face turned quite ugly, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

Shen Hou’s eyes darted around before he indignantly said: ”What do you mean? How can we trust the words of someone from the Shadow Clan? They are the public enemy of the Martial Dao World!”

”I believe what they say. I wonder if everyone else here believes me?” Jiang Chen didn’t argue with Shen Hou and instead addressed the people present directly.

”Of course!”

”Of course we believe you!”

”If we can’t even trust Mr. Jiang, then who can we trust?!”

One after another, the voices rose up in support of Jiang Chen.

”Si She, Shen Hou, tell me, why has the stronghold you are responsible for turned out like this?” Supreme Long Huang stared at Si She and the other with a livid expression.

”Supreme Long Huang, Dragon Saint Senior, don’t listen to his nonsense, we... we just failed to catch up with the enemy!” Shen Hou spoke hurriedly.

”Right, we just didn’t catch up!”

Si She nodded frantically, and suddenly raised his hand pointing at Jiang Chen, shouting: ”Jiang Chen, what do you mean by this? Are you using this situation to give us a hard time in the Flame Dragon Group?”

”Hard time?” Jiang Chen replied with a cold smile: ”Are you even worthy?”

”Mr. Jiang, could you please explain?” Dragon Saint Senior asked softly.

Jiang Chen glanced at Dragon Saint, his voice low, ”Last time I was in Dingjing, someone tried to assassinate me. At that time, it was Supreme Hu Sha with me, but the attackers sent two peak Venerable Realm warriors.”

”I was puzzled; how did they know Supreme Hu Sha was with me? Everyone involved in their first assault died. How could they be so sure that Supreme Hu Sha would still be with me?”

”Later, when I returned to Dingjing from here, I encountered the Gene Organization’s men again. But this time, instead of sending several peak Venerable Realm warriors, they sent a few at the middle and early stages of the Venerable Realm. The only peak warrior they sent was from the Blood Blade Sect.”

”This puzzled me once more. How dare the Gene Organization establish a base in Dingjing? If Supreme Hu Sha were in Dingjing, would they dare to do that?”

”Why did they come as soon as Supreme Hu Sha left? Could it be that they knew Supreme Hu Sha had left Dingjing?”

Supreme Hu Sha froze for a moment, frowning lightly. As the person in question, he naturally held greater authority and couldn’t help but speak softly, ”Every day, I sense the aura of Martial Artists in Dingjing. If there is someone with power, they cannot hide it from me!”

Shen Hou’s face turned somewhat fierce as he looked up at Jiang Chen, ”People from the Gene Organization have all injected Gene Potion and do not carry the Martial Artist’s aura. Even Supreme Hu Sha probably wouldn’t notice their strength. They dare to establish a base in Dingjing; does it matter whether or not they know Supreme Hu Sha has left?”

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, ”Yes, it’s true that if someone relies solely on Gene Potion to enhance their strength, they might be able to slip past unnoticed when they do not emit an aura. But one of them is the Grand Master of the Blood Blade Sect’s Sanctuary Hall. Don’t tell me Fu Zhengkun’s power also came from Gene Potion!”

”Fu Zhengkun did not,” said Supreme Long Huang. ”I fought with Fu Zhengkun years ago, and he was already at the early stages of the Venerable Realm without the help of Gene Potion.”

”If his strength wasn’t gained solely through Gene Potion, regardless of whether he used it after that, he might hide from those below the peak of the Venerable Realm, but definitely not from peak Venerable Realm warriors.”

Jiang Chen spoke heavily, ”I remember Dragon Saint Senior once told me that once I reached the peak of the Venerable Realm, I could help him heal his injuries because at that time, I would be able to absorb and refine Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, the most powerful sensing force!”

”Yes, as long as they are not warriors who have been promoted solely through Gene Potion from an ordinary person, we peak Venerable Realm warriors can sense them!” Supreme Long Huang nodded.

”That means the Gene Organization knew Supreme Hu Sha was no longer in Dingjing!”

Jiang Chen looked up at Supreme Hu Sha, ”I contacted Supreme Hu Sha to confirm, and he secretly returned to Dingjing. The only people who knew were you six Supremes and the twelve Zodiac Guardians. So, I had a bold suspicion—I suspect that there’s a mole within the Flame Dragon Group, right among you!”

”What?!”

”This...”

Members of the Flame Dragon Group were taken aback for a moment before turning to look at Si She and Shen Hou.

”No! You, you’re slandering me!”

”Right, it’s nonsense! Dragon Saint sir, don’t believe him; he is slandering us!” The faces of Si She and Shen Hou changed drastically, and they both cried out almost in unison.

Jiang Chen’s mouth curved in a teasing smile, ”There’s no need for argument; facts always speak louder than words.”

After a pause, Jiang Chen glanced at Dragon Saint before murmuring, ”When I asked Dragon Saint Senior for help in Huangluo Clan, I had him issue a few orders, sending you each with a team to attack a position!”

”Do you remember the trade routes that Family Head Ya Si of the Fulang Family handed over to me? My people found out about some positions through those trade route contacts, the same eighteen positions given to you, which are hideouts for people infiltrated by the Soul Devouring Group and Gene Organization in Flame Dragon. They are real!”

”I wanted to see which of you eighteen would inform the people there to leave!”

Jiang Chen watched Si She and Shen Hou coldly, ”While asking Dragon Saint Senior to issue the orders, I had already arranged for people from Unchanging Valley to secretly monitor those positions to see the reactions there.”

”Yesterday, the people from the two positions where battle traces had been forged already left the location, but when you arrived this morning, you did not find it odd; instead, you forged battle traces!”

”Worried about wronging you, I once again dispatched a Supreme from Shadow Clan to go to each of the positions to inspect them carefully. You’ve all heard the results of the inspection! Gentlemen, do you have anything to say?”

Jiang Chen’s gaze was ice-cold as he stared at Si She and Shen Hou, his voice frosty.
