Chapter 1597: Chapter 1600: Hu Ziyang’s Shock

”Brother Lin, what exactly is the cause of the war between the Chixiao Sect and Youming Hall? Over a year now, Chixiao Sect has clashed fiercely with Youming Hall, even causing Youming Hall to forgo participating in the Elixir Valley Pill Conference, this...”

Zhang Zhichu spoke in a low voice, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.

When the Chixiao Sect initially announced its war with the Youming Hall, the sects across Jiangbei were incredibly astonished. They only knew that the Ancestor of Youming once visited the Chixiao Sect, but didn’t know what exactly had happened back then.

Zhang Zhichu had a good personal relationship with Lin Jiuxiao, and upon just emerging from seclusion, he heard the news and used the gathering at the Pill Conference to inquire.

”Brother Zhang, there are some things I cannot explain to you; in short, be cautious of Youming Hall!”

Lin Jiuxiao spoke with a solemn expression, paused, and then said in a low voice, ”Be wary of this Pill Conference; after it concludes, it’s best to leave immediately and not participate in the subsequent auction event!”

Zhang Zhichu was taken aback and looked at Lin Jiuxiao in astonishment:

”Brother Lin, why is this? Although I have been in seclusion for many years, I’ve heard about some things upon emerging. Now all the sects have opened their secret areas to fully enhance the powers of their disciples, preparing for the potentially unstable situation to come. Elixir Valley has even thrown a large number of elixirs for auction, why do you advise me not to attend the auction?”

”All sects are fully enhancing their disciples’ abilities by opening secret areas!? Jiang Chen couldn’t help but interject upon hearing this.

He was not very aware of this news; matters among the sects were never publicly announced, and regarding the six sects of Jiangbei, he only knew the Chixiao Sect and was unfamiliar with the others!

Zhang Zhichu glanced at Jiang Chen, then turned to Lin Jiuxiao.

”This is Ming Long’s son, Jiang Family of Jincheng’s Family Head, Jiang Chen!” Lin Jiuxiao introduced.

Zhang Zhichu nodded towards Jiang Chen without offering explanations; in his view, such a minor figure as the head of Jiang Family of Jincheng wasn’t qualified for detailed explanations from him.

However, Jiang Chen didn’t mind; he was just somewhat surprised, satisfied with the crisis awareness among the sects, not seeking their assistance but rather their ability to safeguard themselves. After all, they were a generational legacy, and it’s quite unfortunate to see them extinct!

Swish!

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sky above the valley entrance, prompting everyone to look up.

”This is Hu Ziyang, the bodyguard of the Great Elder of Elixir Valley and also the overseer of Elixir Valley,” Mo Tianze whispered to Jiang Chen.

Zhang Zhichu glanced at Mo Tianze with a look of doubt, wondering why Mo Tianze, an elder from Chixiao Sect, would proactively introduce someone to a minor family head, just because he’s the son of the Chief Disciple?

”Everyone, welcome to Elixir Valley. It is ready inside the valley; please enter!” Hu Ziyang spoke loudly.

Boom!

As soon as Hu Ziyang finished speaking, the huge stone gate opened with a rumble, and people flooded in like a tide.

Glancing at Hu Ziyang in the sky, Jiang Chen looked worriedly towards the rear. When connecting with the gaze of an elder in the crowd behind him, he nodded secretly and entered Elixir Valley with Jiang Minglong and others.

In the sky, Hu Ziyang surveyed the crowd below, his brows lightly arching upon spotting Jiang Chen. Suddenly, Hu Ziyang’s gaze abruptly changed; among the bustling crowd, he saw an elderly man, a stooping, white-haired elder walking towards the Elixir Valley gate with the flow of the crowd.

Though he couldn’t clearly see the elder’s face, his stooped figure was unmistakable, yet Hu Ziyang instantly recognized his identity.

Swish!

Hu Ziyang’s figure moved, flying to hover above the elderly man’s head. His gaze shifted towards the massive crowd outside the valley, quietly transmitting his Soul Power to the elder’s ear below: ”Why are you here? Leave immediately!”

”Mengzi, I knew you wouldn’t betray Brother Fu! Be cautious; according to our assessments, the Pill Conference might go smoothly, but the auction event is bound to have a big storm; Mengzi, survive, there aren’t many of our old brothers left!”

An indistinct ripple emanated from below as the stooping elderly man entered Elixir Valley’s gate with the crowd, leaving only a transmission for Hu Ziyang.

Hu Ziyang’s eyebrows furrowed sharply; he turned and deeply regarded the elderly man, squinting slightly.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Hu Ziyang’s gaze changed again, scanning the crowd below.

One, two, three...

Why are so many people whose strength realms I can’t see appearing here!?

...

PS: This Chapter is an extra for ’Hu Ziyang’!

Hu Ziyang’s heart trembled fiercely; even though he was in mid-stage Venerable Realm, he couldn’t discern their strength realms...

Brows tightly knitted, Hu Ziyang’s figure flickered, ready to leap into Elixir Valley.

”Wait a moment!”

A transmission echoed in Hu Ziyang’s mind.

Hu Ziyang’s expression slightly changed; he recognized this Soul Power wave.

Scanning the crowd again, Hu Ziyang spotted an elderly man who matched eight-tenths of the impressionistic figure in his mind, though the face didn’t match his memory.

”Director Hu, it’s me, Yue Shaoting!”

Another transmission sounded in his mind, causing Hu Ziyang’s pupils to constrict suddenly!

The old patriarch of the Yue Family dared to disguise himself and come to Elixir Valley?! This...

”Director Hu, our visit holds no malice; I hope Director Hu won’t reveal us. I vouch by the reputation of our Yue Family ancestors that we will do nothing to harm Elixir Valley!”

Upon the transmission resounding in his mind again, Hu Ziyang’s expression shifted slightly; he scanned the crowd again, squinting his eyes, then glancing at a white-haired blue-eyed old man among them. He secretly transmitted: ”Old Brother Yue, is that foreigner with you too?”

”Yes!”

Receiving the response, Hu Ziyang’s brows lightly furrowed, suddenly recalling the foreign youth accompanying Jiang Chen, a conjecture surfacing in his mind.

Could these people... all be here for Jiang Chen?!

If that’s the case... Brother Xing should be safe!

Glancing at Yue Shaoting, Hu Ziyang gently nodded, turning and flying into Elixir Valley. Yue Shaoting’s assurances eased Hu Ziyang’s mind; they would not endanger Elixir Valley while arriving with such force, presumably for someone’s protection.

The Yue Family highly values their ancestors’ reputation, and Yue Shaoting’s oath naturally makes Hu Ziyang believe him; in the Martial Dao World, only the Yue Family members receive such unquestionable trust.

This was also the reason Jiang Chen invited Yue Shaoting.

In this event, Jiang Chen didn’t plan to reveal all his connections, although Elixir Valley’s influence is substantial, not all Martial Arts Forces would attend.

At another martial grand event, the Martial Gathering, all Martial Arts Forces would congregate; then would be Jiang Chen’s time to fully expose his network and forces.

The Martial Gathering is also Jiang Chen’s pre-set battlefield for a decisive battle against the infiltrators from the three organizations into Flame Dragon.

Yet soon, Jiang Chen regretted not calling all his contacts and forces!
