251: Don't worry, he's very strong.

Jiang Chen immediately maneuvered the flying boat, speeding rapidly in the direction pointed out by Yang Ding.

Boom!

As the flying boat sped along, Jiang Chen pushed it to its maximum speed.

Everyone immediately felt the terrifying speed of the flying boat.

The mountains and rivers of the Great Lan Dynasty flashed by endlessly beneath them.

A journey that would have originally taken at least two hours was completed in a mere fifteen minutes.

"Whoosh!"

As the flying boat approached this second Heaven-Grade Demon Cave, Jiang Chen and the others clearly saw terrifying demonic clouds brewing in the sky ahead.

Once these demonic clouds took shape, the force of their descent would completely shatter the Seal of the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave.

At this moment, the experts who were originally guarding the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave had already been severely injured and retreated. Now, only a few people responsible for gathering intelligence remained, watching from nearby.

When they saw this flying boat suddenly rush toward them with an Aura that seemed almost capable of shattering the Void Realm, everyone gasped, fearing that the enemy had arrived.

But soon, they saw the figures on the flying boat. It was Yang Ding and the others.

Among these intelligence gatherers was someone Jiang Chen had met before—an instructor at the Sacred Martial Academy, and Ye Wanqiu's aunt, Ye Zishan!

When Ye Zishan saw the flying boat, her eyes lit up immediately.

She had seen this flying boat back at the Fenglan Sword Sect; wasn't this Jiang Chen's flying boat?

Subsequently, Ye Zishan saw the many figures on the flying boat, and a smile immediately appeared on her face as she led her people over to meet them.

"Vice Dean!"

"Lord Yang!"

"And Elder Zhang!"

"It's so good that you've all come!"

Seeing these old acquaintances before her, Ye Zishan finally felt a sense of reassurance.

Furthermore, Zhang Xian himself was a Heavenly Martial Realm expert. Having this tribute support gave them hope.

"Isn't this Lord Jiang Chen's flying boat?" Ye Zishan couldn't help but ask.

"It is mine. Aunt Wanqiu, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." Jiang Chen and Lu Qian walked out of the control room.

Just a moment ago, Jiang Chen had taught Lu Qian some of the operating Formations of the flying boat and how to activate them. Since they were idle anyway, he decided to give Lu Qian some guidance.

Jiang Chen hadn't expected to see Ye Zishan again so quickly.

"Lord Jiang Chen!" When Ye Zishan saw Jiang Chen, the joy in her eyes was clearly even greater.

"Instructor Ye, please tell us about the situation here," Zong Yuan said, stepping forward.

Now was not the time for small talk; they needed to address the urgent matter at hand first.

"Yes!" Ye Zishan nodded, then directed everyone's gaze toward the front.

"This demonic cloud storm has been forming for some time. We estimate that in another five hours, it will unleash demonic thunder, breaking through the entire defense of the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave!"

"Not only that, but there are currently at least ten Heavenly Martial Realm demons gathered in the Demon Domain of the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave!"

"It is completely impossible for us to enter to reinforce the Formation or take any other action!"

"But if we want to completely destroy this demonic cloud, we need to slay those Heavenly Martial Realm demons within the Demon Domain!"

"That is where the matter is deadlocked."

"The tributes who were originally stationed here, as well as several Demon Suppressing Envoys, have all been injured. The Dean and the others are currently bringing people over."

"But it will take at least another hour for them to arrive," Ye Zishan said.

The reason she was here was that she happened to be nearby, and when she received the order, she rushed over immediately.

Demon Suppressing Envoys also belonged to a functional department of the Black Yamen, but they were different from the Demon Slayer Guard. Wang Fusheng was a Demon Suppressing Envoy.

So, these powerful Demon Suppressing Envoys were all stationed near these Heaven-Grade Demon Caves; no wonder they were rarely seen in daily life.

Unfortunately, this surprise attack had caused them to lose significant combat strength and had also allowed the number of Heavenly Martial Realm demons in the Demon Domain to increase to such a high level.

"Ten Heavenly Martial Realm demons!?"

"How could there be so many..." When Zhang Xian heard this number, his scalp tingled.

If there were only one or two, they could try to fight, but now there were ten!

And that was just the Heavenly Martial Realm ones. Who knew how many Earth Martial Realm demons were inside; there could easily be dozens.

This was the terrifying consequence once a Heaven-Grade Demon Cave erupted.

Once the demon army broke out, it would be impossible to stop them; within a few days, the entire Great Lan Dynasty would be completely devoured.

"What about the Wuzui Sect? Are there any traces of the Wuzui Sect?" Lu Qian asked.

"No, the people from the Wuzui Sect are not here."

"But it has been confirmed that it was the Wuzui Sect that made the move! So we must be careful; these people are very likely watching us from the shadows," Ye Zishan said in a deep voice.

Having caused such a massive crisis, she already hated the Wuzui Sect to the bone. She wished she could grind these people into dust.

These people likely knew that once the Fenglan Sword Sect was gone to keep the Great Lan Dynasty in check, the next target the Great Lan Dynasty would deal with would be them, so the Wuzui Sect chose to strike first.

"It really was them!" Everyone gritted their teeth.

"Only ten Heavenly Martial Realm demons?" Just as everyone was filled with righteous indignation toward the Wuzui Sect, Jiang Chen said this out of the blue.

Listening to Jiang Chen's tone, it seemed he was somewhat dissatisfied with that number.

"You all take a rest on the boat."

"Lord Lu, I have a pot of good tea leaves here. Please help me brew some for them to entertain them."

Jiang Chen took out a jar of tea leaves that Cheng Yurou had roasted for him from his Storage Ring.

Cheng Yurou had been very thoughtful, realizing that sometimes when traveling, one needed to carry some tea leaves, otherwise, if one encountered friends or family, there would be nothing good to serve them.

And Cheng Yurou's tea-roasting skills were quite excellent!

"Huh? You're going alone?" Lu Qian realized, but Ye Zishan hadn't reacted yet.

After all, Ye Zishan had not experienced the incident where Jiang Chen single-handedly destroyed an entire Heaven-Grade Demon Cave.

Jiang Chen didn't explain; he leaped directly, his figure rushing into the terrifying storm released by the demonic clouds.

Boom!

As Jiang Chen approached, the demonic cloud storm seemed to become even more violent.

However, when this power landed on Jiang Chen, it was shattered with great ease.

On the surface of Jiang Chen's body, there was a golden light condensed from Body-Forging Profound Qi.

These demonic cloud storms could easily tear an Earth Martial Realm expert to shreds, and even Heavenly Martial Realm experts found it difficult to get close, as they would be blown away hundreds of feet.

Yet Jiang Chen just charged right in, looking like a towering mountain, completely unfazed by the so-called storm.

"Don't worry, Lord Jiang is very strong."

"I will brew tea for everyone."
