Chapter 2618: Chapter 2621: Explanation
"Don’t worry, I’ve promised to help you, and I’ll keep that pledge. I’m going to the Lei Family just to see some information about the Five Continents, of course."
Jiang Chen glanced at Huo Langtian: "You can also deprive me of the qualification to compete, I have no objections."
"Brother Jiang, if they don’t use you, then help the Lei Family, and all the rewards will be yours!"
Lei Ling’er spoke softly.
"Rewards?"
Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Huo Langtian, Huo Fenger, and Huo Qiong, their eyes revealing a trace of disdain.
"The top fifty in the Alchemy Dao competition all have rewards. The top fifty receive a seventh-grade elixir, the Solidifying Elixir, to consolidate the primordial spirit. The top thirty receive one Solidifying Elixir and one Spirit-Infusing Pill. The top ten receive a Solidifying Elixir, Spirit-Infusing Pill, and a random seventh-grade elixir recipe. The top three, in addition to those, also receive a drop of Bodhi Nurturing Divine Saliva."
Lei Cheng glanced at Huo Langtian and his group: "These rewards will be delivered to the families represented by those participating. Of course, if any participant wishes to take them on-site, that’s possible too."
Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, turning to look at Huo Fenger.
"Jiang Chen, I’m sorry, I forgot to mention, all the rewards you earn are yours!"
Huo Fenger quickly spoke up.
Huo Langtian’s face changed slightly, he opened his mouth but didn’t say anything, his gaze at Jiang Chen filled with complex emotions.
Jiang Chen nodded and said nothing, rising and walking towards the outside of the Lake Heart Pavilion, Lei Ling’er hurriedly got up and followed to lead the way.
"There’s no need to continue today’s competition either."
Lei Cheng withdrew his primordial spirit power, looking playfully at Feng Yunxi: "Trying to steal a chicken only to lose the bait, Feng Yunxi, remember, retreat when you see us!"
Feng Yunxi’s face darkened, turned his head away without responding to Lei Cheng, his gaze fixed on Jiang Chen’s back, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"I advise you, I don’t care how your Feng Family deals with Jiang Chen, but if you dare harm Ling’er, the Feng Family of Canglan Domain is finished! And your main family absolutely won’t avenge you!"
Lei Cheng warned Feng Yunxi, standing up and heading out of the Lake Heart Pavilion, followed by the other two Lei Family members.
Feng Yunxi’s brow furrowed tightly, staring directly at Lei Cheng until he disappeared from sight.
"That little girl should be a direct lineage of the Lei Ming Beast Clan, and her bloodline is extremely pure, otherwise Lei Cheng wouldn’t be so respectful."
Longteng spoke softly.
Feng Yunxi glanced at Longteng and got up, also heading out of the Lake Heart Pavilion.
Except for members of the Long Family, everyone else left the Lake Heart Pavilion. This competition was completely disrupted by Yan Chengxie and Jiang Chen. As for whether the families would adhere to agreements during the fight, no one could guarantee.
Swish!
After everyone left, Long Dingjiang appeared again in the Lake Heart Pavilion.
"Father."
Longteng stood up and looked at Long Dingjiang, a trace of puzzlement in his eyes.
"During the competition, observe that Jiang Chen closely. He likely carries something related to the Dragon Clan, most likely having inherited Dragon Clan powers."
Long Dingjiang transmitted his voice.
Longteng’s expression changed, his eyes suddenly brightened, showing a hint of excitement and greed: "Yes!"
...
"Second Uncle, I need an explanation!"
Walking out of the Long Family, on the way back, Huo Qiong stopped, looking solemnly at Huo Langtian.
Huo Fenger’s face also turned unsightly, staring directly into Huo Langtian’s eyes.
Sigh!
Huo Langtian softly sighed, looking at the two young people before him, his eyes revealing complex emotions.
These two, one is the next Family Head, no doubt about it.
The younger generation of the Huo Family is modest, his children are all mediocrities, among the descendants, only his brother’s pair of children are outstanding.
Among them, Huo Qiong has good alchemy skills, and his cultivation talent is also good, making him the best candidate for Family Head.
While Huo Fenger is currently only in the Divine Infant Realm, only their family knows that Huo Fenger has not undergone ancestral hall baptism; she wants to undergo it at the time of breakthrough to the Void Refinement Realm, thus better solidifying her foundation.
One is the next Family Head, and the other the most talented among the younger generation, potentially becoming the family protector in the future; their status in the family is still very high.
If today’s matter, or rather this whole affair lets them harbor resentment, unanimous decisions in future family matters could become difficult.
"Do you know the current situation of the family?"
Huo Langtian didn’t directly answer, but instead asked.
"We know!"
Huo Fenger said angrily: "That’s precisely why I asked Jiang Chen for help. But Second Uncle, is this how our Huo Family behaves? Other families suppress our external aid, and we just watch without helping, who will associate with our Huo Family in the future?"
"Fenger, you only know one aspect, not the other."
Huo Langtian explained the incident where Jin Ang and his companion injured Yan Chengyun: "Moreover, the situation our Huo Family faces is more troublesome than you might think..."
In the Elixir Divine City among the Five Great Families, only the Huo Family doesn’t have a Saint Monarch strong one stationed, and the Yan Family’s ancestor has also broken through to Saint Monarch, leading the Huo Family to be at a disadvantage.
Now, the Cheng Family and Qin Family are eyeing them covetously, the Cheng Family secretly aligns with the Feng Family, and the Qin Family’s branch supposedly migrated here, but their Saint Monarch ancestor also came along.
This situation places the Huo Family’s status in Elixir Divine City in jeopardy. Though the Five Great Families are a symbol in Elixir Divine City, it’s a world where strength reigns supreme, and top-level combat power often decides everything!
"But if we can maintain the title of the Five Great Families, wouldn’t we have nothing to fear?"
Huo Fenger frowned tightly, not expecting the family crisis to be so severe.
"Can you be certain that Jiang Chen will definitely achieve a top-five position? If he fails, they definitely won’t give our Huo Family any chance to rise again!"
Huo Langtian sighed helplessly.
Huo Fenger fell silent, her face alternating between blue and white.
Then, she gritted her teeth and reprimanded: "Say something about giving up this Alchemy Dao competition earlier, then I wouldn’t have called Jiang Chen here. He traveled a great distance to help us but ended up targeted, how can I face him in the future?"
"Brother Jiang is close with the Gold-devouring Rat Clan, Second Uncle, are you sure you want to offend Brother Jiang to please the Yan Family? Offending Brother Jiang is akin to offending the Gold-devouring Rat Clan!"
Huo Qiong looked solemnly at Huo Langtian.
"Rest assured, this matter will be handled by your father and me."
Huo Langtian smiled and spoke, secretly murmuring to himself. Alive, it’s a close relationship, dead, then what? Just because he helped refine elixirs, would the Gold-devouring Rat Clan dare to antagonize so many families? They’re not the ancient Gold-devouring Rat Clan anymore!
