Chapter 1221: Chapter 1224: The Feud Between Two Families

”Supreme Long Huang?!”

”Pay our respects to Supreme Long Huang!”

”Greetings to Supreme Long Huang!”

The members of the Flame Dragon Group all bent deeply, shouting out their respects!

”Supreme Long Huang, you...” Luo Buxiang looked at Supreme Long Huang with a horrified expression, a sense of ominous premonition rising in his heart.

”Elder Ancestor!” After finishing his salute, Luo Wenzhou ran to Luo Buxiang’s side and spoke in a panicked whisper.

Luo Buxiang ignored him, his thoughts racing as he pondered countermeasures!

Huu huu!

Jiang Chen gasped heavily a few times, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead!

At this moment, Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, Shen Xiangtian, and others were all on the verge of exhaustion. Thankfully, Jiang Chen’s Dragon Qi was extremely pure and much more robust than Blood Qi; otherwise, they would have already collapsed from exhaustion!

”Young Jiang, it’s my fault!” Supreme Long Huang did not look at the others but turned and spoke softly in apology to Jiang Chen.

Luo Buxiang’s face changed drastically in an instant, his eyes showing startled horror as he looked at Supreme Long Huang!

How could this be? This...

”Supreme Long Huang, the credibility of your Flame Dragon Group has started to make me doubt!”

Jiang Chen looked at Supreme Long Huang with an indifferent gaze, ”You heard everything just now. If even within your Flame Dragon Group there is such heartless internal strife, devoid of any principles, what’s the point of talking about protecting the Flame Dragon? I’m taking Elder Shen and the others away. I don’t want my brothers to suffer such indignities again! Being thrown into a cell on charges of withholding mission funds is a trampling of their military honor. A Flame Dragon Group like this is not worth staying in!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen turned his head to Shen Xiangtian, ”Elder Shen, do you still have your bank cards?”

”They were all taken by him!” Shen Xiangtian pointed at Luo Wenzhou.

Jiang Chen glanced at Luo Wenzhou, then turned to Yan Hu, ”Notify the bank, report those bank cards as lost, and have them issue new ones for Elder Shen and the others. Bank cards that such scum has touched are tainted!”

”Yes!”

Yan Hu nodded and took out his phone to begin making the call.

”Let’s go!” Jiang Chen called out to Shen Xiangtian and the others, and started walking towards the camp entrance.

”No, no, no! Young Jiang, don’t go!” Supreme Long Huang hastily blocked Jiang Chen’s path, his face full of urgency, ”Don’t take them away! I was wrong! It’s my fault! It won’t happen again!”

”In the future? Such a thing, once is enough!” Jiang Chen said indifferently.

”Yes, yes, right, once is enough!” Supreme Long Huang nodded frantically.

Jiang Chen glanced at Luo Tiangang and Luo Wenzhou beside him, and said indifferently, ”My Battle Array isn’t something just anyone is fit to learn. You should sort out your Flame Dragon Group first before talking about it!”

After finishing his speech, Jiang Chen turned his head to Shen Xiangtian, ”Elder Shen, why don’t you go back to Long Ya and see how the brothers there are doing? They probably miss you a lot!”

”Yes!” Shen Xiangtian replied respectfully.

”Supreme Long Huang, you can’t let them leave like this, they killed...” Luo Buxiang’s complexion changed as he spoke urgently.

”Shut your mouth!”

Supreme Long Huang roared, shooting a fierce glare at Luo Buxiang, coldness flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Chen gave Luo Buxiang a sidelong glance, a hint of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth, not bothering to say more, and continued walking towards the entrance of the camp.

Yan Hu drew the Blood Saber and, along with Shen Xiangtian and the others, followed Jiang Chen towards the camp’s gates.

Supreme Long Huang opened his mouth but refrained from speaking further, instead giving a meaningful glance to Elder Qing and his companion.

Understanding the signal, the two turned and followed behind Jiang Chen and the others.

...

Jiang Family Courtyard!

Inside Jiang Chen’s attic!

After leaving the Flame Dragon Group base, Shen Xiangtian and his party treated their wounds and hurried to the Long Ya headquarters.

Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, and Elder Qing, who had followed, returned to the Jiang Family.

”Young Jiang, this is my fault,” Elder Qing began apologetically as the three took their seats.

Jiang Chen’s brows furrowed slightly. ”Elder Qing, what exactly happened?”

Elder Qing let out a sigh and said softly, ”This matter has to start with the Blood Blade Sect incident a thousand years ago...”

A thousand years earlier, the Liu Family and the Luo Family were the two major families in Zhongzhou, constantly embroiled in strife. Later, at the behest of Chixiao Sect, they united to confront the Blood Blade Sect.

The battle was exceptionally brutal, leaving the Liu Family nearly destroyed, save for Elder Qing’s still underage great-grandfather!

The patriarch of the Liu Family was taken to Chixiao Sect, but at that time, the sect had suffered heavy losses and was itself unstable. Unable to bear seeing the last of the Liu bloodline suffer further in war, the Sect Master of Chixiao Sect entrusted him to an old friend.

However, after the Blood Blade Sect incident was over, the Sect Master of Chixiao Sect intended to bring the Liu patriarch back, only to find that the old friend’s family had been exterminated and the Liu patriarch had disappeared!

Enraged, the Sect Master of Chixiao Sect thoroughly investigated the matter and discovered that the Luo Family of Zhongzhou was behind it. The Luo Family, wishing to dominate Zhongzhou, sought to eradicate the Liu Family completely.

The Sect Master of Chixiao Sect led his disciples to storm into Zhongzhou and annihilated the Luo Family!

But to the Sect Master’s surprise, there was a direct descendant of the Luo Family who was not at home at the time and escaped the massacre.

This scion of the Luo Family, upon learning of his family’s doom, stayed hidden and dared not show his face.

It wasn’t until the establishment of the Flame Dragon Kingdom and the formation of the Flame Dragon Group that the remnants of the Liu and Luo families realized their sworn enemies were both within the Flame Dragon Group.

Thus, upon the centenary of the Flame Dragon’s formation, the two families had been locked in a century-old struggle.

The upper echelons of the Flame Dragon Group were not unaware of the feud between the two families, but the Luo Family had genuinely contributed to the group, and with several Venerable Realm powerhouses, they possessed significant strength. The upper echelons turned a blind eye, allowing the families to battle it out as long as they didn’t go too far and didn’t interfere.

Recently, because Elder Qing was acquainted with Jiang Chen, the Liu Family’s status within the Flame Dragon Group had risen, which displeased the Luo Family.

Coincidentally, Shen Xiangtian and the others had gathered at the Jincheng Branch controlled by the Luo Family. When the Luo Family found out that Shen Xiangtian and his party had suddenly acquired a substantial sum of money, they thought to use this incident as an opportunity to see if they could eliminate Elder Qing, an important ally of Jiang Chen, or at least to cause some trouble for Jiang Chen!

In their eyes, Jiang Chen was nothing more than the son of the head of Jincheng’s commercial empire and the Chief Disciple of Chixiao Sect—hardly a concern.

But what they didn’t realize was the significance of Jiang Chen to the Flame Dragon Group.

Jiang Chen’s affairs were a top-secret matter within the Flame Dragon Group, only known to a few Supremes and those few, like Elder Qing, who had direct contact with Jiang Chen.

After listening to Elder Qing’s explanation, Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

”Young Jiang, you can’t blame Supreme Long Huang for this; don’t be angry with him,” Elder Qing consoled once more.

Jiang Chen shook his head gently. ”I am indeed a bit angry with him, but that’s not the main issue.”

His expression solemn, a serious light flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes. ”The current situation of the Flame Dragon has truly reached a critical point of life and death. If even the Flame Dragon Group can’t be united, how will we carry on?”

Elder Qing was taken aback and looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled expression.

Wasn’t he still talking about Shen Xiangtian and the others? How did it turn into a matter of the Flame Dragon’s overall situation?
