Dragon King Secret Realm

But people with such powerful strength were truly hard to find. There had never been any rumors of a Martial Master Realm expert this powerful.

Moreover, the other party had come to cause trouble at the stronghold for the second time. This time, they had directly wiped it out.

One of the mercenaries had escaped and told the other Bloodfire Mercenary Group strongholds about the news.

This allowed the Bloodfire Mercenary Group to obtain some information.

Although they did not know the identity of this masked man in black, the Bloodfire Mercenary Group would spend the effort to investigate. This was practically a slap in the face to the Bloodfire Mercenary Group, a provocation of their bottom line.

The Bloodfire Mercenary Group wanted everyone to know that offending them came at a price.

As for Jiang Chen, the person involved, he did not take this matter to heart at all and continued living as usual.

However, the Dragon King Secret Realm was about to open, so Jiang Chen stopped running around outside and instead stayed at home in peace.

Still, he had to visit Elder Huo once, so he bought some good wine and demon beast meat.

The wine and demon beast meat had cost Jiang Chen over a thousand spirit stones. They were quite expensive. At the very least, in Qingyue Town, these things were considered top-grade goods.

Elder Huo had helped Jiang Chen quite a bit, so now that Jiang Chen was wealthy, how could he possibly forget Elder Huo?

It was beneficial and not harmful to maintain a good relationship with Elder Huo. Jiang Chen still understood the ways of human relationships.

Jiang Chen arrived at the Martial Arts Pavilion, where Elder Huo was still leisurely drinking tea.

When Jiang Chen appeared, Elder Huo suddenly stopped moving. Shock flashed through his eyes because he had seen through Jiang Chen's cultivation.

Even though Jiang Chen had deliberately suppressed his cultivation, with Elder Huo's realm, such a small trick could not fool him at all.

The difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great.

"Elder Huo, look, I brought you some wine." Jiang Chen smiled.

He placed two jars of wine and some drinking snacks on the table.

"Kid, not bad. You know I like this sort of thing." Elder Huo laughed.

"You're actually at the sixth level of the Martial Master Realm. How did you cultivate so quickly?" Elder Huo asked.

The last time Jiang Chen had come to see him, he had still been at the Martial Apprentice Realm. Every time they met, Jiang Chen surprised Elder Huo.

That was because Jiang Chen's realm advanced far too quickly.

Even Elder Huo, back in his day, had possessed abundant resources, yet his breakthroughs had not been as fast as Jiang Chen's.

When Jiang Chen heard Elder Huo's words, he was also somewhat surprised. Jiang Chen had currently suppressed his cultivation to the tenth level of the Martial Artist Realm.

Yet Elder Huo had seen through his exact realm at a glance. This Elder Huo was truly no simple character.

"I didn't expect to be unable to hide it from you. I obtained some fortuitous opportunity, so I advanced to the sixth level of the Martial Master Realm," Jiang Chen said.

As for what exactly that opportunity was, Jiang Chen did not elaborate. This was merely an excuse he had made up.

Elder Huo did not ask too much either. Everyone had their own opportunities.

"It's widely rumored outside that the Bloodfire Mercenary Group's eastern stronghold was destroyed. According to the Bloodfire Mercenary Group's description of that masked man in black, and considering your current cultivation, you were the one who did it, right?" Elder Huo said.

Jiang Chen had previously carried out a night raid on one of the Bloodfire Mercenary Group's strongholds. It could be said that he was incredibly bold.

Elder Huo knew about it. The Bloodfire Mercenary Group had said that both attacks were carried out by the same person, and Elder Huo had immediately thought that it might very well have been Jiang Chen.

However, the person who had attacked the stronghold the second time was a Martial Master Realm expert, so Elder Huo had not been certain that it was Jiang Chen.

Now that he had seen Jiang Chen, everything made sense.

"That's right. I did it. The Bloodfire Mercenary Group actually dared to threaten the Jiang Family, so I could only eliminate them. Did they really think Jiang Chen was easy to bully?" Jiang Chen let out a cold laugh.

Elder Huo's eyes were filled with admiration. As expected, Jiang Chen was ruthless enough. He showed not the slightest fear toward his enemies and even retaliated.

A man should be like this: whoever bullied me, I would kill.

Elder Huo had the same temperament.

"Hahaha, good, good! Well done. You have character. I like this temperament." Elder Huo laughed heartily.

Afterward, Jiang Chen drank with Elder Huo. The two of them drank to their hearts' content and were extremely happy.

"Jiang Chen, the Dragon King Secret Realm will open in two days. With your strength, obtaining a good result won't be difficult. It's rumored that there are even some fourth-tier demon beasts in the Dragon King Secret Realm. Be careful," Elder Huo said.

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Huo. I'll be careful." Jiang Chen nodded.

"I don't know how you killed Jiang Ming, but there is always a sky beyond the sky. Be careful in everything," Elder Huo said.

Jiang Chen nodded, then left.

Watching Jiang Chen's departing figure, Elder Huo fell into deep thought. At present, this Jiang Chen did indeed seem to be a good choice.

During this period, Jiang Chen had also given Jiang Yunfeng one hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones, letting him purchase some goods to take to Yunluo City for sale later.

With such a huge quantity of goods, if they could be safely transported to Yunluo City, they would certainly earn a great deal of spirit stones.

Normally, the Jiang Family would not transport too many goods, precisely because they feared attracting powerful experts who might rob them.

Once the goods were lost, it would definitely be a huge loss for the Jiang Family.

However, Jiang Chen planned to personally escort them next time. With him there, he did not believe the goods could possibly be lost.

This was merely to have Jiang Yunfeng make the preparations first. Once Jiang Chen returned from the Dragon King Secret Realm, he could escort this batch of supplies.

Jiang Chen was doing this to help Jiang Yunfeng earn achievements. That way, Jiang Yunfeng could become the clan head legitimately.

With Jiang Chen's help, Jiang Hai would simply be unable to compete with Jiang Yunfeng in terms of achievements.

The profits would belong to the Jiang Family.

As long as someone could increase the Jiang Family's income, whoever earned more would become the clan head.

Jiang Chen had voluntarily provided the spirit stones and said that he would personally escort the goods, so Jiang Yunfeng could only follow Jiang Chen's suggestion and go purchase a large amount of goods.

This was mainly about earning the price difference. They could earn at least thirty percent in profit, though that was only the gross profit and did not include labor costs.

The time for the Dragon King Secret Realm to open arrived very soon.

Jiang Chen followed behind Jiang Tian, along with the Jiang Family's other top-ten genius disciples. They gathered with the other genius disciples from Qingyue Town and headed for the Dragon King Secret Realm.

As for the other Jiang Family members who remained at home, they had to keep watch over their surroundings at all times.

If people from the Bloodfire Mercenary Group came to take revenge, they were to hide immediately.

The Jiang Family had already dug secret passageways beneath their home.

Once they encountered danger, they could enter the secret passages and head outside Qingyue Town.

This was also a form of protection for the Jiang Family's clansmen.

The genius disciples from the Wang Family, the Zhou Family, and several other small factions also arrived.

The Dragon King Secret Realm was shared by the geniuses of the various factions from the six surrounding towns.

Each time it opened, every town had fifty spots.

With six towns, that made a total of three hundred spots.

This time, Jiang Chen did not reveal his cultivation, and the Jiang Family members also did not plan to reveal it for him.

Otherwise, once they saw how powerful Jiang Chen was, they might target the other Jiang Family disciples.

The other Jiang Family disciples did not possess strength as powerful as Jiang Chen's.

The more powerful Jiang Chen was, the more resources he could obtain inside.
