Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1598: Chapter 1601: Lu Yiqiu’s Provocation (Extra for ’Ronin’!!)

Central square of the Elixir Valley.

People from various powers gathered in the southern part of the square, with disciples from Elixir Valley standing on the east and west sides, and the seven elders and the Valley Master located in the north.

Ten tables and chairs were arranged in the southern part of the square, designated for the Five Great Sects of Jiangbei and the Five Great Families Along the River, while others stood behind the ten major powers.

Jiang Chen stood behind Lin Jiuxiao, glancing at the arrangement, with a slight frown. Did the Elixir Valley know that Youming Hall wouldn’t come?

”There’s not even a spot for Youming Hall, seems like Elixir Valley is aware of something!” Jiang Minglong also murmured softly.

Jiang Chen lightly nodded, raising his head to look at the square ahead.

Nearly a hundred pill furnaces were set up on the square, arranged in ten rows of ten across, decreasing in size from south to north, with the southernmost furnace standing as tall as a person, and the northernmost as small as an adult’s head.

Swish swish swish!

Several figures suddenly appeared in the air over the center of the square, emitting powerful auras.

”Greetings to the three ancestors, and the three supremes of Flame Dragon Group!”

”Greetings to the three ancestors, and the three supremes of Flame Dragon Group!”

Fu Tianbo and the seven elders bowed respectfully to the newcomers.

”Greetings to the supreme ancestors!”

People from various powers also bowed in respect.

Jiang Chen glanced at the figures in the air—Elder Long, Supreme Long Huang, and Supreme Hu Sha were here, along with three other elder individuals likely the ancestors of Elixir Valley.

The aura from these three elders made Jiang Chen’s heart lightly tremble; Elixir Valley actually had three Saint Realm experts?

The figures in the air nodded towards everyone, Elder Long glanced in the direction where Jiang Chen and his group were, then turned to the other three elders: ”Let’s go up, and not interfere with their pill refining here!”

”Alright!”

The three elders nodded and the six figures leapt directly into the high air.

”Hey! Did you see? The elder in the blue robe is the leader of Flame Dragon Group, our top expert, Long Dingtian!”

”So that’s Long Dingtian?!”

”Only the major competition of Elixir Valley could have Elder Long appear as a witness!”

”No wonder they purposely showed up; it’s to tell us that he’s here as a witness. Elixir Valley truly has the prestige!”

”Hmph! What is Flame Dragon Group? If a real fight broke out, Elixir Valley wouldn’t fear Flame Dragon Group!”

The appearance of Elder Long and others stirred a round of discussion.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

After Elder Long’s group disappeared, eight figures from the north leapt to the center of the square in mid-air.

Fu Tianbo stepped forward in the void, clasped his fists towards the crowd: ”Welcome to the Elixir Valley. I am Fu Tianbo, the Valley Master of Elixir Valley!”

”Greetings Valley Master Fu!”

”Good to see Valley Master Fu!”

The crowd clasped their fists and returned the gesture.

Among the crowd, a hunched old man’s eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze towards Fu Tianbo was filled with recollection.

Meanwhile, another foreign old man who attracted Hu Ziyang’s attention had quietly joined Jiang Chen and the others.

”Everyone, the elixir conference has been held many times, so I won’t take up your time. After the elixir conference, we will gather properly. Now, the major competition of the elixir conference officially begins. All contestants, please step forward!” Fu Tianbo announced loudly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Over a hundred figures sprang out from the crowd, converging in the southern part of the square.

”Jiang Chen, you actually dare to come to my Elixir Valley?”

Suddenly, a loud shout echoed, and an old man in the air glared furiously at the nearly hundred people who had leapt out from the crowd.

The hundred contestants glanced around, then dispersed to the side, leaving the youth targeted by the old man’s gaze exposed.

”Who is this person?”

”Jiang Chen? Could it be the rising Family Head from the Jiang Family of Jincheng in recent years?”

”Impossible, right? A Family Head so young?”

”I think the head of Jiang Family in Jincheng is a young man!”

”How did he provoke the fifth elder of Elixir Valley?”

The crowd started pointing fingers and murmuring about Jiang Chen.

”Elder, is there an issue? Why can’t I come?” Jiang Chen looked directly at the elder in the air, speaking confidently and without submission.

The elder’s face turned angry, shouting: ”You killed hundreds of Venerable Realm experts from my Elixir Valley’s affiliated sects, destroyed several sects, and yet you dare to come here. Do you think Elixir Valley is easy to be bullied?”

”What? He killed hundreds from Elixir Valley’s affiliated sects!?!”

”Wow! This kid is bold! Destroying Elixir Valley’s forces and killing so many from Elixir Valley, yet dares to come here?”

”Is this provocation?”

”Barefaced provocation indeed!”

The crowd exclaimed in surprise, staring at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen spoke calmly: ”Elder, it’s true I killed the people from your Elixir Valley’s affiliated sects, but since they dared to come to my home intending to forcibly take my sister, what’s wrong with me killing them?”

”This...”

”Unbelievable!”

”Elixir Valley people forcefully take women?”

The people from various powers froze for a moment, then looked up at the elder.

The elder was Lu Yiqiu, the fifth elder of Elixir Valley, responsible for managing the affiliated sects.

”How dare you slander my Elixir Valley’s affiliate forces! What are your intentions!?”

Lu Yiqiu’s complexion changed slightly, angrily shouted: ”I see you are here to cause trouble today! Guards, seize him for me. We’ll deal with it after the major competition!”

Whoosh whoosh!

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Elixir Valley flew up and headed towards Jiang Chen.

”Halt!” a loud voice shouted.

The disciples paused in the air, their figures halted, looking towards the Valley Master Fu Tianbo.

Fu Tianbo glanced at Lu Yiqiu, then turned to Jiang Chen: ”Head of the Jiang Family, you say people from my Elixir Valley tried to forcibly take your sister, do you have evidence?”

”Yes! I have video footage of their attack on my Dingyun Lake Villa, would Valley Master Fu like to see it?” Jiang Chen spoke calmly.

Swish!

A figure jumped into the air, Yan Hu holding a laptop, glanced at Fu Tianbo, then opened it towards the people from various forces.

Fu Tianbo was momentarily stunned, wasn’t Jiang Chen offering to show him? Why was the youth facing the people from various forces?

Lu Yiqiu’s face drastically changed, his figure flickered, intending to rush towards Yan Hu.

Swish!

A figure leapt up in front of Lu Yiqiu, blocking his path.

”Elder Lu, since the head of the Jiang Family wants to present evidence, why be in such a hurry to see it yourself instead of letting the others watch? There’s no need for such urgency, is there?”

Lin Jiuxiao looked calmly at Lu Yiqiu, unleashing his full aura, faintly pressing against Lu Yiqiu.

Lu Yiqiu’s face shifted drastically, his voice stern: ”Sect Master Lin, what did you receive from that boy? Are you willing to offend our Elixir Valley for his sake?”

Fu Tianbo and others also frowned, looking at Lin Jiuxiao.

”I received nothing; I merely wish to help our Chixiao Sect’s iron-blooded ally, the head of Jiang Family, seek a fair statement!” Lin Jiuxiao replied indifferently.
