Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 409: Dragon Soul Jade

The remaining six team members’ faces all changed upon hearing Xue Qishan’s words.

"Directly eliminate the sect... Our Divine Covenant has been fighting with the Ghost Witch Sect for so many years, and we’ve only just discovered the location of their sect. What kind of terrifying force could it be that is capable of wiping them out outright?" one of the team members said in shock.

Another team member looked at the ruins that used to be the Ghost Witch Sect’s base and said, "The Ghost Witch Sect has been destroyed to this extent. Whoever did this must have been numerous and each of their strengths is not to be underestimated."

Xue Qishan shook his head, "What we see here was all caused by just one person."

All six team members’ eyes widened in disbelief.

"One... one person? What kind of realm would a master like that be in?" Xiao Che asked incredulously, looking at Xue Qishan. Although his father could also single-handedly suppress the Ghost Witch Sect, to cause the level of destruction seen now would be somewhat difficult.

Xue Qishan said, "Apart from the Ghost Witch Sect’s evil powers, I’ve only felt one type of power aura here. This indicates that only one person aside from the Ghost Witch Sect’s masters has made a move here, otherwise even if they were practicing the same moves, their power auras would differ, it couldn’t possibly be exactly the same."

"The person who made a move and wiped out the Ghost Witch Sect is definitely not simple!"

Furrowing his brow, Xiao Che asked, "But such a terrifying master should be well-known throughout the world already, yet we’ve never heard of any famous master who specializes in fire attacks."

Xue Qishan said with a smile, "This world is far more mysterious and dangerous than you realize. The masters you’re familiar with are just the tip of the iceberg. There are many old monsters in this world you are far from reaching."

After speaking, he glanced at the six people and said, "Anyway, since this person eliminated the Ghost Witch Sect, it shows they are on the side of righteousness. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the individual who acted belongs to another evil force, so we must report this incident to the higher-ups of the Divine Covenant as soon as possible. The rest is not our concern."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Xiao Che suddenly thought of something and asked Xue Qishan, "Captain, now that the Ghost Witch Sect has been wiped out, what about our mission...?"

Xue Qishan said with a smile, "We’re quite lucky this time. Without having to lift a finger, the Ghost Witch Sect has already been destroyed, saving us a tough battle."

Xiao Che asked, "Will we receive any credit for this mission then?"

Xue Qishan replied, "Of course not, since the Ghost Witch Sect was not wiped out by us. However, compared to the risk of betting our lives, whether or not we get credit is secondary."

Xiao Che instantly wore a very unpleasant expression, feeling an impulse to bash his head in frustration.

...

After leading everyone over a mountain, Chen Fan found a suitable place to spend the night and took a temporary rest.

Since it was already evening and it was inconvenient to traverse mountains, coupled with the fact that the group had climbed many mountains during the day and experienced the destruction of the Ghost Witch Sect, they were already physically and mentally exhausted, so they did not rush to leave the mountains.

Once tents were pitched and a fire was lit, everything was in order, the group sat around the campfire and finally unwound completely.

Su Qingyan, with sparkling eyes, looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Can I become like you in the future, to be able to annihilate a sect with a wave of my hand?"

Chen Fan said with a smile, "Of course, as long as you reach the realm I am in now, you will naturally be able to unleash destructive power with a mere gesture."

Su Qingyan said with a look of disdain, "I don’t want to destroy heaven and earth with a wave of my hand. I want to become an ethereal fairy who is the center of attention, not rough like you."

Chen Fan, with a face full of dismay, thought to himself that he hadn’t engaged in close combat with those from the Ghost Witch Sect. How had he become rough?

At that moment, Sun Jingyi approached with a reserved and timid expression, bowed to Chen Fan, and said, "Immortal Master Chen, the reason I came in search of the treasure is because my father has been stuck in the Grandmaster Realm for many years. He has tried everything to break through but without success, so I thought there might be something within the treasure that could aid my father’s breakthrough."

"However, now I know it was all a trap set by the Ghost Witch Sect, and thanks to you, Immortal Master Chen, we were all able to keep our lives."

"For this, I express my heartfelt gratitude to Immortal Master Chen!"

"Furthermore, since you possess such profound Divine Skills, I would like to invite you to visit my home and maybe give some guidance to my father..."

Chen Fan smiled, thinking to himself that he had plans to take his girlfriend on a trip and had no spare time to guide her father, who had been stuck in the Grandmaster Realm for years, unable to break through. It simply meant that his achievements would end there—it couldn’t be that he should provide guidance to everyone who had trouble breaking through.

He was about to outright decline.

But then, Sun Jingyi continued, "If Immortal Master Chen is willing, my family has an ancestral Dragon Soul Jade, which the scriptures claim to be an Immortal Stone. However, we are rather simple-minded and can’t figure out its true purpose. We would be willing to offer it to Immortal Master Chen. Of course, if you find that the Dragon Soul Jade is not an Immortal Stone, my Sun Family is still willing to reward Immortal Master Chen..."

Before she could finish, Chen Fan had already stood up righteously, speaking with utmost seriousness, "I can very much understand the frustration your father must feel after so many years without a breakthrough. Since you’ve made the request, naturally, I will accompany you back to have a look and lend a hand to your father. As for the reward..."

Sun Jingyi’s face lit up with joy, thinking to herself how kind Immortal Master Chen was and that he might not even take any reward.

But then she heard Chen Fan’s resolute voice, "Please be sure to give me that piece of Dragon Soul Jade!"

Sun Jingyi looked astonished, but she did not overthink it and nodded earnestly, "Rest assured, Immortal Master Chen, even if you can’t help my father break through, considering you saved our lives, I will still give you the Dragon Soul Jade."

Chen Fan nodded with a smile and sat back down beside Su Qingyan.

Su Qingyan, somewhat puzzled, asked, "What is Dragon Soul Jade?"

Chen Fan replied, "It’s a rare type of Precious Jade of very high quality, perfect for use as the Formation Eye in the Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation."

Su Qingyan nodded and said no more.

Early the next day, the group set out again. After a whole day of scaling mountains and crossing ridges, they finally emerged from the mountain range.

Lao Cai then contacted the travel agency to send a vehicle. They all rode back to Luoyun City, feeling as if they had been in another world.

Chen Fan warned everyone to try not to divulge the affair with the Ghost Witch Sect, and they all promised him they would keep silent. Chen Fan knew that after an experience like this, it would be difficult for anyone to keep it to themselves, but he felt it was still necessary to admonish them.

After that, the two followed Sun Jingyi all the way to the Sun Family residence.

As the leading family of Luoyun City with immense wealth, the Sun Family owned a palatial courtyard in the city center, with three entrances and three exits.

Upon arriving home and unloading her gear, an excited Sun Jingyi led Chen Fan and Su Qingyan to the living room.

Inside the living room, there were already numerous people sitting, among them was Sun Jingyi’s father Sun Xiong, surrounded by senior members of the Sun Family.

All of them were looking respectfully at an old man sitting in the main seat of the sofa wearing a training suit, his hair tinged with gray. Despite his age, he radiated an imposing aura.

Once Sun Jingyi entered the living room, she wanted to share her experience with Sun Xiong. "Father, this time I..."

Sun Xiong gave her a stern glance, "I’m entertaining a distinguished guest, it’s crucial for my breakthrough. Go outside, don’t be a nuisance here!"
