Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 982: 985 Chapter I Can Kill the Venerable

”Elder Qing, I hope your agreement is more than just lip service,” Jiang Chen said softly.

Upon hearing Elder Qing’s words, Jiang Chen was not surprised and spoke again in a soft voice:

”Once this news gets out, after all, Elder Zhang will have to bear a great deal of pressure, and may even face some malicious accusations. At that time, I’ll need you to step forward to protect Elder Zhang and suppress those malicious voices!”

”No!” Elder Hei suddenly spoke up with a cold voice, ”Suppressing them is not enough! Whoever dares to make an issue out of this, his Long Ya sword will claim more ownerless souls!”

Ownerless souls!

Souls without an origin!

Elder Hei’s words made it clear that anyone who dared to cause trouble over this matter would no longer be recognized by him as a person of the Flame Dragon Kingdom!

”Good! I thank you on behalf of the brothers of Dragon Soul,” Jiang Chen nodded gently.

Elder Qing and the others felt a heat on their faces, and Elder Qing let out a wry smile, ”Young Jiang, I know you feel indignant on behalf of the members of Dragon Soul, but you don’t have to slap our faces like this, do you? You thank us on their behalf? It is we who should be thanking you!”

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen said indifferently, ”The brothers of Dragon Soul have shed blood and sacrificed abroad, yet have not received some of the support they should have. Now that they can finally be relieved of such a situation, of course, I should thank you for them. I don’t know what they mean to you, but to me, they are brothers, comrades-in-arms fighting side by side!”

This time, Elder Qing and the others felt not just a heat on their faces, but an intense burn of discomfort, with a surge of extreme shame in their hearts!

Qing Yan, Zhu Yan, Long Wuhun, and the others all looked at Jiang Chen with guilty yet somewhat admiring expressions.

Taking on Dragon Soul, Jiang Chen had no trace of self-interest; it was truly just adding a burden to himself!

The greatest strength amongst the people of Dragon Soul was only at the Innate Realm, and just by the fact that Jiang Chen had trained the elite forces of Long Ya, it was clear he had no need to recruit others; with his own training, he could have a group of powerful and absolutely loyal subordinates.

Dragon Soul would also be loyal, but they could not be loyal only to Jiang Chen. In their hearts, loyalty to the nation, loyalty to the people, was etched into their very bones!

”Elder Qing, let me talk about the three major organizations that I know of,” Jiang Chen turned the topic away from Dragon Soul and began to speak in a soft voice.

Elder Qing waved his hand, his face showing a trace of shame as he said, ”Young Jiang, let me speak first. If you go on, I’ll have nowhere to put my old face. Besides, tell us your conditions. I will agree to whatever I can, and even if I can’t, I will help you fight for it.”

”Conditions?” Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then chuckled, ”I’ve already stated my conditions, Elder Qing, please share the intelligence that you know!”

Elder Qing was taken aback, as were Qing Yan and the others.

Stated?

Didn’t he just state one...

A light dawned in everyone’s eyes, and their hearts trembled fiercely as they instantly understood Jiang Chen’s meaning and looked at him with admiration!

They had never imagined that Jiang Chen’s condition would only concern Dragon Soul!

You must understand, they are the Flame Dragon Group, the department with the most power in the Flame Dragon Kingdom!

And yet Jiang Chen had forsaken the opportunity to ask for other powers and chose only the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group. This was not for personal gain at all, but entirely for the relief of the nation.

Suddenly, a deep respect rose in the hearts of Elder Qing and the others for Jiang Chen!

Whew!

”Young Jiang!” Elder Qing let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with relief and he said, ”That person wasn’t wrong about you! We weren’t wrong about you; you’ve done well!”

Jiang Chen just smiled slightly without saying a word. At this time, there was no need for humility, as excessive modesty would seem somewhat hypocritical!

”I will sort out the Dragon Soul matter as soon as possible! Let me share the information we have now!”

Elder Qing’s expression turned serious, ”Regarding the Soul Devouring Group, our knowledge is limited. We only know that they are infiltrating the regions along the river. Their origin should be the Beihai National, and their highest leader is most likely the Eight-Headed Serpent from the myths of Beihai National. As for the rest, I think we don’t know much more than you do! After all, you’re the one who has slain several soul clones of Eight-Headed Serpents, including those that had just entered the Venerable Realm!”

”What? You have also slain soul clones of the Eight-Headed Serpent? Ones that had just entered the Venerable Realm?” Qing Yan exclaimed, looking at Jiang Chen with eyes full of shock.

”How is that possible?!”

”Just entered the Venerable Realm? All beneath Venerable are ants, how could someone who hasn’t reached the Venerable Realm slay a Venerable?!”

Zhu Yan and the others exclaimed in disbelief.

Jiang Chen just laughed and shook his head, ”I didn’t do it alone; it was done with the help of several seniors!”

”Alright, stop being so humble, boy. Leading a group of Peak Semi Venerable Venerables to slay a warrior from the Venerable Realm is something that has never happened since the establishment of the Flame Dragon Kingdom. If you keep being humble, it’s just high-end bragging!” Elder Qing said with a light chuckle.

Jiang Chen shrugged, changing the subject, ”I’ve already asked the Five Great Martial Worlds to pay attention to the Soul Devouring Group’s matter along the river. Furthermore, the Yi Chen security companies, one in the south and one in the north, will also be on the lookout for this issue.”

”Good!” Elder Qing nodded vigorously, ”With our mutual efforts and the Martial Dao World’s cooperation, the Soul Devouring Group won’t be able to hide for long!”

”You, you managed to persuade the Five Great Martial Arts Families to help?” Qing Yan exclaimed once more.

Zhu Yan and the others had expressions that were exceedingly brilliant!

The existence of Flame Dragon owes a large part to the Martial Dao World; the Flame Dragon has the responsibility of oversight over the Martial Dao World, hence they often deal with people from the Martial Dao World and have a deeper understanding of the pride of the various powers within it. To get the Five Great Martial Arts Families along the river to collaborate was something even Flame Dragon had never achieved!

”Haha, don’t be surprised so soon. This kid’s connections are frighteningly extensive.”

Elder Qing laughed heartily but did not explain further, instead, he moved onto another organization:

”Gene Organization, as far as we know, has already developed the third-generation potion, which can elevate an ordinary warrior at Earth Grade Peak directly to the beginning of the Innate Realm. With a higher talent, it might even lead to a higher realm! It’s even possible to reach the early stages of the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm!”

”No! In that case, the Gene Organization’s potions must have been updated to at least the fourth generation.”

Jiang Chen shook his head, taking out a potion from his pocket and handed it to Elder Qing, ”This was found at a Gene Organization base we destroyed during our recent operations. I’ve tested one, and it can help someone with poor talent who has stagnated at the Earth Grade Peak realm to step into the Innate Peak realm. Moreover, the Gene Organization’s Gene Warriors have already reached the strength of the Peak Semi Venerable Venerable!”

”What?”

”Peak Semi Venerable Venerable?!”

Qing Yan and the others stared at Jiang Chen, dumbfounded, their eyes revealing a shocked expression.
