Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 848: Chapter 851: Great God, Please Calm Your Anger

”You’re from the Flame Dragon Kingdom, aren’t you? Since you were able to find this place, don’t tell me you didn’t have the slightest awareness of the Ouyang Family’s situation. I don’t know what kind of power you wield, but since you could kill that Eight-Headed Serpent’s Shikigami Avatar, you must be very strong,”

Jiang Chen let out a sigh of relief and looked up at Elder Bai, saying coldly,

”If you could kill it, why didn’t you do it sooner? Why wait until it caused such a catastrophe within the Ouyang Family, resulting in the deaths of so many Ancient Martial Artists, before you acted? What benefits do you get from the deaths and injuries of our Flame Dragon Kingdom’s martial artists and the destruction of the Ouyang Family?”

”This...” Elder Bai was at a loss for words, not knowing how to answer Jiang Chen’s question.

Elder Qing took a deep look at Jiang Chen and whispered, ”Young Jiang, we won’t hide it from you, we indeed are people of the Flame Dragon, and concerning the Ouyang Family’s situation, we knew about it a year ago! However, the creed of the Flame Dragon is to protect the Flame Dragon Kingdom, and the Martial Dao World is not within our jurisdiction. We can only act to keep things in balance.”

Elder Hei nodded, ”Yes, since ancient times, heroes have been known to break the law with martial might. We watched as the Ouyang Family fell into such disarray. I won’t deny that there was even a part of us that wished for their downfall because only if all the martial arts forces are annihilated can we be free of any worry about internal threats. It may sound extreme, but it’s an undeniable truth.”

”As long as the martial arts forces exist, we will need to be vigilant against them doing anything that might harm the Flame Dragon Kingdom.”

Elder Qing continued, with a sigh and a complex look in his eyes at Jiang Chen, ”Since the establishment of the Flame Dragon, we’ve devoted far more effort within the national Martial Dao World than on international powers. Hence, we did not interfere with the Ouyang Family’s affairs. As long as those Beihai National samurai don’t threaten ordinary citizens, we won’t take action.”

The Black Dragon then said, ”Moreover, behind that giant serpent is a terrifying organization, and this organization is not just in Beihai National. Therefore, we haven’t taken any rash actions, hoping you can understand.”

After speaking, Elder Hei and Elder Qing looked at Jiang Chen with hopeful eyes. They really didn’t want Jiang Chen to become antagonistic towards the Flame Dragon because of this matter. That would be disastrous!

Jiang Chen fell silent, expressionlessly checking the injuries of the people around him, then took out a bottle of elixir and began administering it to each person, except for the two Semi Venerable Venerables from the Ouyang Family.

During this process, the three elders stayed silent, quietly watching Jiang Chen.

They knew Jiang Chen needed some time to digest Elder Qing’s words, as it was difficult for someone with Jiang Chen’s personality to immediately accept Elder Qing’s reasoning!

”I can understand what you’re saying... but I cannot accept it!”

After administering the elixirs to everyone, Jiang Chen came before the three elders and indifferently said, ”The people of the Martial Dao World are also citizens of the Flame Dragon Kingdom. Perhaps some of them do violate rules, but you can’t condemn everyone because of the actions of a few.”

”We understand, but... it is really difficult to make distinctions, and we don’t have enough manpower, so...” Elder Qing tried to explain again.

This time, Jiang Chen did not argue further but changed the subject, ”Alright, how you conduct your affairs is none of my concern. Is there anything else? If not, I’m going to wake them up to leave. Many of them need their injuries treated promptly!”

”Did you just say it was us who killed that giant serpent?” Elder Bai, who hadn’t spoken much, suddenly asked.

Elder Qing and Elder Hei were taken aback, then remembered that Jiang Chen had indeed said something of the sort earlier. They had been too preoccupied with defending themselves to notice and now looked at Jiang Chen with bewilderment.

”If it wasn’t you who killed it, are you suggesting it was me? I certainly don’t have that ability,” Jiang Chen coldly shot Elder Bai a look, feeling like the old man was just making conversation.

The three elders exchanged glances and then released waves of formidable aura, which seeped into the surrounding jungle.

Jiang Chen blinked in surprise and glanced at the three men, then turned and walked toward Yan Hu and Wu Qianxun. He took out the Silver Needle and began treating them.

”Hmm...”

”Cough cough!”

Yan Hu and another person lightly hummed and coughed twice, then both opened their eyes.

”Mr. Jiang!”

”Young Master!”

Seeing Jiang Chen, both of them exclaimed excitedly. When they sensed the strong aura surrounding them, they reflexively leaped up to stand before Jiang Chen, watching Elder Qing and the other two elders with wariness.

”Don’t mind them, those three old men are just acting up!” Jiang Chen said irritably and turned to walk towards the Lou Family Patriarch and the two others.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen, Elder Qing and the others retracted their aura and exchanged glances, all seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.

”Young Jiang,” Elder Qing called out to Jiang Chen with a serious tone, ”Was it really not you who killed that serpent?”

Jiang Chen frowned and scrutinized Elder Qing, a wave of doubt suddenly surfacing in his heart.

They wouldn’t go this far just to play me, right? Could it be that it wasn’t them who killed it?

”Who are you people?” Yan Hu asked, his eyes filled with vigilance.

Jiang Chen patted Yan Hu on the shoulder and said, ”They aren’t enemies, Hu Zi. Do you remember who killed the Eight-Headed Shikigami Avatar?”

”It was you, Young Master!” Yan Hu turned around, looking at Jiang Chen in surprise, ”You summoned a golden Divine Dragon, then killed it... Eh?”

Yan Hu suddenly let out a surprised yelp and frowned, saying, ”I... can’t quite remember clearly now, but, I recall you summoned a Divine Dragon, and then the Black Mist Serpent was very afraid, after that... I passed out!”

”Right, I also remember the Black Mist Serpent being very scared when it saw that Divine Dragon, then I passed out! It must have been the Divine Dragon you summoned that killed the Black Mist Serpent,” Wu Qianxun nodded.

Jiang Chen said with a look of surprise, ”I killed it?”

”Young Jiang, are you playing us? You killed it yourself and you don’t know?” Elder Bai’s mouth twitched as he looked at Jiang Chen with a hostile gaze.

Jiang Chen glanced at Elder Bai and said indifferently, ”I passed out after I cast the Secret Method. How would I know if I killed that serpent or not?”

Turning his head to look at the corpse of Shanye Cunfu, he murmured, ”It looks like it really did kill the serpent!”

Elder Qing and the others looked at Jiang Chen with a mix of frustration and amusement. Was it possible for someone to kill a formidable enemy and not even know it?

However, the three elders then thought of another possibility.

They exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

The serpent was a creature that even Elder Bai wasn’t confident he could kill, yet it had been slain by Jiang Chen. Although it had been done by using a certain Secret Method, this method seemed incredibly powerful.

And moreover... it was a Secret Method for summoning the Divine Dragon!

With a name flashing through their minds, Elder Qing and the others looked at one another again, all seeing the shock and the gravity in each other’s gaze.
