"It seems like it's been two years since Mr. Jiang last made an appearance. We have no idea where he is. Do you know? If you can contact Mr. Jiang now, we can forgo the Essence of Yin Spirit and consider it a tribute to him. But I'm afraid some people might take a feather as a command and act with false authority," the tall, thin man in black said calmly.
Peng Shishan furrowed his brow, his expression darkening as if his lies had been exposed. He felt quite displeased but didn't know how to retort. He was indeed leveraging Mr. Jiang's name to elevate himself.
Feeling guilty left him at a loss for words. After struggling with his thoughts for seven or eight seconds, Peng Shishan steadied his turbulent mind and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Jiang is elusive; how could he be contacted so easily? We, the Peng Family, have at least met Mr. Jiang, while you all seem to have had no contact with him at all. Do you really expect me to believe that you would hand over the Essence of Yin Spirit to Mr. Jiang?"
"After the New Year, in March, there will be a martial arts tournament held by the Hidden Sect once every ten years. I believe Mr. Jiang will definitely attend. You, the Peng Family, being one of the Seven Great Martial Arts Families in the mundane world, will surely receive an invitation. As long as Mr. Jiang appears, we will naturally present the Essence of Yin Spirit to him. You can witness it then; if we go back on our word, just tell Mr. Jiang, and I believe he will teach us a lesson," the tall man in black replied.
"What if you don't attend the martial arts tournament?" Peng Shishan was not someone easily fooled.
"I said we would go, so we will go. A once-in-a-decade martial arts tournament is something no one from the Hidden Sect would want to miss," the tall man in black said impatiently.
The martial arts tournament held by the Hidden Sect, especially one that occurs every ten years, piqued Jiang Chen's interest slightly. He planned to ask those two about the specifics of the tournament later.
However, the current situation was quite amusing; both sides claimed they would offer the Essence of Yin Spirit to themselves. This made Jiang Chen smile inwardly; they could never have imagined that the enigmatic Mr. Jiang they spoke of was watching them from just a short distance away.
"Jiang Chen, are they talking about you when they mention Mr. Jiang?" Jiang Jiewen asked softly.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly in acknowledgment.
"This is really interesting! When you suddenly appear later, they'll probably be shocked into silence. Should we go down now?" Jiang Jiewen laughed.
"Wait a moment," Jiang Chen said curiously about how those two from the Hidden Sect obtained the Essence of Yin Spirit from Longyan Pond.
The Essence of Yin Spirit was the essence of Yin energy and could be considered a manifestation of spiritual energy with Yin attributes. It could take hundreds of years to crystallize in places where Yin energy gathered, so these two managing to find it here showed some skill.
For Jiang Chen, the Essence of Yin Spirit was undoubtedly a good thing that could help enhance his ice attribute abilities. However, this small amount from Longyan Pond was likely scarce since it was merely on Earth; he didn't hold out too much hope but felt that obtaining even a piece of natural Essence of Yin Spirit was already quite good.
Moreover, getting it from his hometown—the place where he played as a child—felt very nostalgic to him, as if it were a gift from his roots.
Jiang Chen refocused his attention on the group by Longyan Pond. Clearly, both sides were at an impasse.
