From the Divine Capital to Cloud Camel Mountain, the distance was not especially great. In particular, traveling aboard the Star Origin Flying Ship made the journey exceedingly swift.
Before long, Jiang Chen arrived at Cloud Camel Mountain.
Things had changed since the old days. Back then, Cloud Camel Mountain had belonged to the Yan family, with a large number of Yan family experts garrisoned here. Now, there was not a single Yan family member to be found.
The Feng family, which had previously disputed ownership of Cloud Camel Mountain with the Yan family, had seized the opportunity to move in. Nowadays, the entire area around Cloud Camel Mountain was crawling with Feng family cultivators.
The Xiahou clan and the imperial family had staged their rebellion, and while the Feng family had been involved, their participation had not run deep. They had extricated themselves in time and thus managed to preserve their standing. Ordinarily, the Feng family would have had no confidence to contend with the Yan family for Cloud Camel Mountain. After all, even though the Yan family and Jiang Chen had fallen out, the connection between them still stood, and the Feng family would not have dared to offend the Yan family so brazenly.
But fortune played its tricks. The Yan family had been utterly wiped out—an event that was nothing short of a dream come true for the Feng family. With that, the Feng family had shamelessly seized Cloud Camel Mountain for themselves.
Now, Cloud Camel Mountain was filled with Feng family cultivators. By all appearances, they had already claimed it as their own territory.
Jiang Chen's brow furrowed the moment he saw the scene.
Dragon Xiaoxuan chuckled. "Who are all these people? Looks like Cloud Camel Mountain has changed hands."
Jiang Chen gave a cold snort. "Changed hands? These people took it without so much as a word—looting a burning house. This is Yan family territory. Since when does the Feng family get to occupy it?"
"Exactly right! It's Yan family territory, and since you're the Yan family's son-in-law, that makes it your territory. Chen Shao, shall this old brother step in and wipe them all out for you?"
The Vermilion Bird Divine Bird offered eagerly.
The Eternal Divine Kingdom had just endured a rebellion and could ill afford more bloodshed. If the Vermilion Bird Divine Bird were let loose, not a single one of these people would survive.
"Forget it. I'll handle this myself."
With that, Jiang Chen leaped from the Star Origin Flying Ship. His dharma body flickered, his Divine Demon Golden Body surging upward as golden divine light flooded the entire expanse of sky.
Jiang Chen's Evil Golden Eye cast its gaze downward, divine might blanketing the entire mountain range.
"Where is the person in charge of the Feng family? Get out here." Jiang Chen's voice rang with authority, like heavenly thunder crashing right beside one's ears, overwhelming in its power.
That thunderous voice sent tremors through the Feng family cultivators below. Their minds reeled, their blood and qi churned, and one by one, the garrison leaders scrambled out from their posts below.
The moment they caught sight of Jiang Chen in the sky, those with sharper eyes recognized him immediately.
"It's Young Master Jiang Chen!"
"Young Master Jiang Chen from the Eternal Sacred Land is here!" cries erupted from below.
Those cries carried an unmistakable note of fear, of shrinking back, of dread. It was plain that these people were genuinely afraid of Jiang Chen.
Quite a few were muttering under their breath: "What's he doing here?"
"What do you think? He's here to reclaim Cloud Camel Mountain for the Yan family. I heard the Yan family was destroyed, but Yan Wanjun didn't die. His grandson Yan Qingsang, and his granddaughter Yan Qinghuang—they're both still alive."
