Silence enveloped the area instantly. A faint wind blew between the massive rocks, yet it could not break the stillness hanging in the air. Only when Jhi Chen’s silhouette had completely disappeared did Bing Tuyanzhi speak. His tone was calm. “Bing Guyu, can you see anything strange about Bing He?” The Patriarch of the Protos Bing Clan frowned. The question came without warning, causing him to be momentarily stunned. “Something strange? Father, I did not find anything strange about Bing He. Why do you ask that?” Bing Tuyanzhi clasped his hands behind his back, his posture remaining upright like a mountain that could not be shaken. His gaze dimmed, as if concealing an unfathomable ocean of depth. “His behavior has not changed, but something has changed in his eyes. Every time Bing He met me, besides his respectful attitude, there was always fear in his eyes. I did not find that in Bing He’s gaze this time. And one more thing, when seeing this place, Bing He should have been full of

Upon arriving at the Martial Hall, Jhi Chen’s gaze immediately caught sight of Bing Guyu, who was already seated in the main position. The Patriarch was surrounded by several Grand Elders and Protector Elders, all sitting upright with serious expressions. The vast plaza before them was filled with tens of thousands of young generation members. They sat cross-legged in neat rows, forming a sea of people that seemed endless. The atmosphere there was silent yet filled with pressure. The faces of those young generation members were serious, their eyes sharp and attentive. Not a single person dared to make a sound, because they understood how strict the discipline of the Protos Bing Clan was. Even the smallest mistake could result in death, and that was not an empty threat. Fear and respect were tightly intertwined, making the atmosphere within the hall even heavier. Jhi Chen stepped forward and cupped his fists, his body slightly bowed. “This humble one greets the Patriarch.” Bing Guy

Jhi Chen then began transferring every maintenance seal from all those resources onto the bodies of the dogs and pigs. The process was meticulous and unhurried. Every strand of formation light that moved appeared like fine golden threads slowly attaching themselves to the animals’ skin, covering them in a dim glow. Their bodies occasionally trembled violently, yet they were unable to resist the transfer. After finishing, Jhi Chen moved his soul power once again. He created similar formations on those resources, but this time the formations were entirely under his control. In this way, Bing Guyu would continue believing that the maintenance seals he had placed were still there, unaware that the true control had already changed hands. Once everything was completed, Jhi Chen took a deep breath. A satisfied smile appeared clearly on his face. He then moved the dogs and pigs to a safe place, deliberately keeping them alive. To him, it was preparation for delivering a surprise that would

Jhi Chen frowned. He had not expected his disguise to be discovered. “Was there a mistake in my actions? Enough for my disguise to be exposed. Or is there some special mechanism in this place that I failed to detect?” he thought. “Since there is no way I can leave without fighting, I will stop hiding. Besides, using this ugly old face is uncomfortable for me as well.” Jhi Chen dispelled his disguise. He revealed his youthful face, one filled with dignity and authority. Everyone surrounding Jhi Chen frowned. They had not expected that the person who dared infiltrate their ancestor’s hidden place was a member of the younger generation. “Jhi Chen, you truly acted perfectly. If the ancestor had not left a trace within the chains you broke, I would never have known that you were not Bing He,” said Bing Guyu. “Patriarch is right, his acting was too perfect. Even I was carried away when he gave his lecture. I thought he was truly Bing He, because not only was his aura identical, even h

Just as expected, after Jhi Chen said that, Bing Guyu’s anger became uncontrollable. His aura erupted, causing the sky to turn dark. “The best opportunity. Dragon Slayer, unleash your power completely!” “Yes, Master!” After the Dragon Slayer had fully merged with the Hell Dragon Soul, its power was now equal to a rank one Half Divine Tao. Jhi Chen had deliberately held all of that back; he wanted to make the best possible use of the Dragon Slayer’s power. When the sky darkened because of Bing Guyu’s aura, the Dragon Slaughtering Sword spewed out dense black gas. BUZZ!! The dense black gas erupted with greater force than a volcanic eruption. Within only a few breaths, the entire territory of the Protos Bing Clan was already filled with dense black gas. That black gas not only blocked everyone’s vision, but its true function was the power of death energy. “AAAHHH!!!” The screams of people could be heard. Death energy had already entered their bodies and destroyed them complet
