Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1607: Chapter 1610: Peering

”Good!”

The Medicine Saint nodded and succinctly explained the current situation in the Flame Dragon Martial Arts World, emphasizing the three major organizations at the end.

”What? The Soul Devouring Group is that strong?!”

Hu Ziyang was startled, then suddenly looked at Jiang Chen: ”You, you destroyed so many bases of the Soul Devouring Group and Gene Organization? No wonder, no wonder Lu Zhengqiu is looking for trouble with you right off the bat, no wonder the Second Elder and the others all want to kill you!”

”I’ve clarified the current situation for you, as for my arrangements, you don’t need to know. You only need to know, we’ll find a way to rescue Elder Fu.”

Jiang Chen reminded him, then his expression suddenly became solemn:

”Go back and tell the Great Elder, the enmity between us can be settled later, but this time, he must cooperate with us. He doesn’t need to do anything else, just needs to gather the people he can convince to attack the Soul Devouring Group when the battle starts!”

”Although this is a huge crisis, it is also a huge opportunity. This time, the Soul Devouring Group has definitely called in a lot of people. If we can completely annihilate them, it’s tantamount to delivering a hefty blow to the Soul Devouring Group, and absolutely a bleeding one!”

”Good, I’ll go find the Great Elder immediately!” Hu Ziyang understood the seriousness of the situation, responded solemnly, got up, and walked out of the pavilion.

After Hu Ziyang left, everyone was silent for a moment.

Jiang Chen turned to look at the foreign elder: ”Chief Judge Xi’er, why are you here?”

”Last time, I heard Mr. Jiang say that the Elixir Valley trip might be dangerous, so I came to see if there’s anything I can help with.” Xi’er softly spoke.

Jiang Chen nodded lightly: ”That’s good, if defeat is inevitable, we’ll try to hold back the Soul Devouring Group, you take Mi Jiaro and leave!”

”Mr. Jiang, what do you mean by that? Are you asking me to become a deserter? I, Mi Jiaro, disdain to do such a cowardly thing!” Mi Jiaro looked at Jiang Chen angrily.

Jiang Chen smiled contentedly: ”Mi Jiaro, I understand your intentions, but this matter was originally unrelated to you. I was at least eighty percent confident in this action, that’s why I brought you along to take a look, but...”

”Young Jiang, have you discovered something?” Elder Yao looked at Jiang Chen gravely.

Jiang Chen spoke softly: ”I discovered the aura of the Eight-Headed Serpent.”

”The aura of the Eight-Headed Serpent?!” Everyone was slightly surprised.

Yan Hu spoke confusedly: ”If the Soul Devouring Group has soul clones, it’s not strange to have his aura, right?”

”I know it’s not strange, it’s just... ever since I discovered his aura, I suddenly have a very bad feeling!” Jiang Chen frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

Everyone fell silent, having experienced so many battles with Jiang Chen, this was the first time Jiang Chen expressed a lack of confidence before a fight!

Noticing the abnormality in everyone, Jiang Chen suddenly reacted, if even he didn’t have confidence in this battle, what would everyone think? This would severely impact everyone’s morale!

”Maybe I’m overthinking! No matter if this battle is a win or a loss, we can’t avoid it, can we? If we let the Soul Devouring Group gain control of the Elixir Valley, they can embed themselves like a nail in the Flame Dragon Land. Given the influence of the Elixir Valley, the Martial Dao World is likely to split immediately, and we would definitely be at a disadvantage in the subsequent Martial Arts Tournament.”

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed: ”So, even if we lose this time, we must bite off a piece from the Soul Devouring Group! Moreover, the battle hasn’t started yet, who says we’ve already lost?”

”Yeah! The battle hasn’t started yet, who says we’ve already lost!”

”Right, we’ll just fight them! Give it all!”

Jiang Chen isn’t a competent leader; he hasn’t instilled in everyone a belief that victory is guaranteed, he hasn’t made everyone feel that their side will surely win, but he has successfully aroused everyone’s morale and fighting spirit!

This is Jiang Chen’s charm; he isn’t a competent leader, but he is definitely a successful leader.

An outstanding leader can make their subordinates willing to fight to the death for victory, while a successful leader can make participants willing to fight to the death even when feeling defeated!

The difference between the two lies in whether the leader can make the participants fight alongside them until death. Clearly, everyone present is willing to fight alongside Jiang Chen, until the end!

Everyone discussed some details, and the sky gradually darkened.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

In the evening, vague auras probed into the pavilion where Jiang Chen and others were.

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, got out of bed, glanced out the window, and went downstairs to the living room.

”Young Master, someone is spying on us!”

In the living room, everyone had already gotten up, looking at Jiang Chen sternly.

Jiang Chen nodded gently: ”No need to be nervous, it’s not people from the Soul Devouring Group. Judging by the aura fluctuations, it should be Pill Masters from other forces. Their aura carries a trace of soul power, likely trying to gauge my true abilities, as they might still hold doubts about my Divine Soul.”

”Of course, they would doubt!” A voice suddenly sounded, as a figure appeared in the living room.

”Elder Long!”

”Dragon Senior!”

Everyone was slightly surprised and saluted Elder Long with fists.

”No need to be polite.” Elder Long waved his hand, and everyone took seats in the living room.

”Mr Jiang, when Dragon Saint told me about you, I found it hard to believe, but today I’m truly convinced!”

Elder Long looked at Jiang Chen with admiration: ”I’ve been in the Saint Realm for decades with Dragon Saint yet still haven’t cultivated the soul to the Divine Soul Realm. Unexpectedly, you reached such a realm in your twenties. If I didn’t know you and Dragon Saint, I would think you two teamed up to fool me!”

Jiang Chen shrugged: ”Actually, I don’t know what happened either, it was back in Beihai National, with Dragon Saint Senior’s help, I trained for a period, and unexpectedly condensed a Divine Soul!”

”Remember those two Dragon Souls inside you?” Elder Long smiled slightly.

Jiang Chen froze, tentatively speaking: ”Is it because of the two Dragon Souls? I... After condensing the Divine Soul, they never appeared again!”

”Yes, it’s because of them that you could condense a Divine Soul!” Elder Long nodded lightly.

Jiang Chen was somewhat stunned, puzzled: ”Why would they help me?”

”This will naturally be explained to you once you break through to the Saint Realm.”

Elder Long gently waved his hand, changed the topic, and asked Jiang Chen: ”Your series of actions during the day confused me, can you clear it up for me?”
