"Little princess, please wait a moment!"

Jiang Chen ignored Tang Jie and clasped his fists towards Cheng Huang’er from afar, then silently stared at the Elder of the Qin Family.

The elder of the Qin Family’s face changed, and the apprehension in his eyes deepened. Even the elders from the Zhou Family and Elder Qiu and Elder Liu glanced fearfully at Cheng Huang’er’s group.

"Hehe! Kid, you’re pretty good at borrowing power, huh?"

Tang Jie sneered, full of ridicule as he looked at Jiang Chen: "Is this all you’re capable of? It seems the rumors are untrue!"

"Borrowing power? Did I say I needed the little princess to intervene? And you, do I know you? Or are you with them too?"

Jiang Chen furrowed his brows, giving Tang Jie a look of disdain.

"What the hell! Is Jiang Chen crazy? Talking to the Canglan Army like that!?"

"Damn, even if he doesn’t know they’re with the Canglan Army, he must know they’re people around the little princess, right?"

"This kid really has guts!"

"But the Canglan Army people are a bit excessive too, right?"

The surrounding crowd began to discuss in low voices.

The elders from the Qin Family and Zhou Family, along with Elder Qiu, were all taken aback. When they looked at Jiang Chen again, their gazes were full of schadenfreude.

"Kid, do you dare to talk to me like that?"

Tang Jie’s face darkened, and he said coldly: "I’m with them, so what?"

"You can try doing something about it!"

Jiang Chen gave Tang Jie a cold glance and ignored him.

"You..."

Tang Jie, showing a furious expression, was about to charge at Jiang Chen when—

"Enough!"

Cheng Huang’er coldly shouted.

Tang Jie’s face changed and he immediately stopped in his tracks.

"I don’t care what grudges you have among yourselves. Before I finish my business, everyone better behave!"

Cheng Huang’er rose and glanced over the crowd.

Elder Qiu and the others’ faces changed slightly, then they clasped their fists towards Cheng Huang’er and returned to their respective factions.

"Kuang Long, beware of playing with fire!"

Back in their own area, the elder of the Zhou Family coldly threw a sentence at the Valley Master of Wind Thunder Valley.

The other seven village leaders, including Lei Yan, immediately turned to look at Kuang Long.

Kuang Long’s expression shifted slightly. If it were just Lei Yang Village and the Spirit Sword Sect, he wouldn’t be afraid; adding the Yuanling Sect and Qingyang Sect made him a little uneasy. Now with the Zhou Family from the Lieyang Domain and the Qin Family joining in, Kuang Long’s thoughts began to waver.

For a moment, outside the formation, everything suddenly fell silent. Everyone was looking at Kuang Long, except for one person who impatiently called out, "Jiang Chen, come here right now!"

This shout made everyone look towards Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen didn’t acknowledge Tang Jie’s call, he just stared straight at Kuang Long, his eyes deep and unreadable.

Tang Jie’s face turned completely dark.

With his identity as a member of the Canglan Army, he was revered wherever he went. Not to mention a mere Divine Infant Realm Peak cultivator, even those at the Integration Realm Peak wouldn’t dare to disrespect him like this.

But now, he was repeatedly embarrassed by Jiang Chen, filling Tang Jie’s heart with endless rage.

"Tang Jie, shut up!"

Cheng Huang’er coldly glanced at Tang Jie, showing a hint of displeasure.

Tang Jie shivered inside, hurriedly suppressing his anger, and bowed towards Cheng Huang’er.

Meeting Jiang Chen’s gaze, a slight tremor ran through Kuang Long’s heart without knowing why. He looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him, making his eyes show a hint of hesitation.

"Valley Master Kuang Long, that bastard’s parents killed my grandson, and that bastard’s grandfather killed my son. I must avenge these grudges, and today, whoever protects him will die!"

Grandpa Zhou coldly spoke.

"Valley Master Kuang Long, don’t make a mistake!"

"Valley Master Kuang Long, think it through!"

"I believe Valley Master Kuang Long wouldn’t be foolish!"

Elder Qiu and others all chimed in.

Sigh!

Hearing the hidden threats in their reminders, Kuang Long sighed and said in a deep voice: "Lu Xian, Yan Li, Yun Hai, come back!"

"Valley Master!"

Yan Li and another person were taken aback, their expressions changing slightly, and they frowned as they shouted in unison.

"Come back!"

Kuang Long shouted once more.

"Yun Hai, you come over here too!"

Suddenly, an elderly voice came from the back of the crowd.

The crowd hurriedly parted, revealing an old man wearing a bamboo hat.

Yun Hai’s face changed, looking incredulously at the old man, then turned to look at Yun Tao with a complex expression.

Swoosh!

The old man flashed to the front of Yun Tao and his group, and a cold voice echoed in everyone’s ears: "Today, I am leaving Wind Thunder Valley!"

Kuang Long’s face changed, showing a look of guilt, while the rest of Wind Thunder Valley also lowered their heads in shame, feeling a burning sensation on their faces.

The people of Wind Thunder Valley recognized the voice of the old man!

Those who came to this Abandoned Plains were people who had offended powerful factions and fled here for refuge. But now, their own faction’s Valley Master, out of fear of offending others, was willing to abandon the Deputy Valley Master’s grandson, causing the Deputy Valley Master to angrily leave Wind Thunder Valley—what a great irony!

When the old man finished speaking, he lifted the hat from his head, revealing himself as Yun Cheng, whom Jiang Chen had met once before!

"Yun Cheng!?"

"You’re not dead!?"

"Damn it! You’re actually alive?!"

Elder Qiu and the other three showed expressions of astonishment and anger, shouting loudly.

"It’s Elder Yun, the Deputy Valley Master of Wind Thunder Valley!"

"Damn, is he the one who killed the heads and sect leaders of the four major factions twenty years ago?"

"The real big shot has appeared!"

"Today’s events are absolutely not going to end well!"

The people from various factions exclaimed in surprise.

Yun Tao trembled all over, looking at the old man in front of him incredulously, his eyes gradually becoming moist.

Swoosh!

Jiang Chen flashed next to Yun Tao, clasping his fists and bowing to Yun Cheng: "Elder Yun."

Yun Cheng nodded at Jiang Chen, looking lovingly at Yun Tao, tears of joy appearing in his eyes.

"Senior Brother!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Jiang Chen pulled Yun Tao slightly, and Yun Tao suddenly realized his senses, moving to hug Yun Cheng: "Grandfather!"

"Good child! You’ve had a hard time all these years!"

Yun Cheng’s eyes were watery as he gently patted Yun Tao’s back.

The crowd below remained silent, especially those from the Abandoned Plains. They all had offended major factions and escaped here, with some having lost their families at home. Those like Yun Cheng were presumed dead publicly and fled here, feeling a sense of empathy.

"Hmph! A reunion before death?"

A sneer broke the slightly sentimental atmosphere.

The crowd turned to see the factions of the Qin Family, Zhou Family, Yuanling Sect, and Qingyang Sect gathered together, coldly watching the grandfather and grandson above.
