On the top of the mountain.

After the sun jumped above the horizon, the fog here quickly dissipated.

Jiang Chen stood on the top of the mountain, looking far to the northwest, and did not return to his senses for a long time.

Just now, he suddenly felt a tingling feeling in his heart. This was something that had never happened before.

He vaguely sensed that something was happening in that direction, but in a hurry, he couldn't remember anyone or anything related to him in that direction.

"Fourth!"

Before Jiang Chen could think about it, Li Wen's voice suddenly came to his ears. He looked up and found that the other party was gesturing in another direction.

"?"

Jiang Chen was confused and quickly followed Li Wen's gaze, and immediately saw Elder Ouyang and others walking towards him.

"Jiang Chen, you should know what I want to say, right?"

A group of people headed by Elder Ouyang stood still in front of Jiang Chen. He did not continue to play Tai Chi with Jiang Chen this time, but went straight to the topic.

"Today is the last day of the deadline, but what about the dragon veins that you said can be repaired?"

"In order to be able to repair the dragon veins, [Thunder and Fire Sect] willingly gave you countless treasures, and you have a group of us at your disposal, just to save many innocent ordinary people from the fire and water."

"But what about you?"

"After accepting the benefits, they still refused to contribute."

"It would be forgivable if you were just greedy for treasures, but as a Feng Shui master, you have forgotten the responsibilities of warlocks like me and ignored the lives of ordinary people. This is a bit shameful!"

"You may have the ability to take action, but you are willing to watch tens of millions of people suffer."

"You——Jiang Chen, you should give me an explanation, right?"

Elder Ouyang looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and asked Jiang Chen loudly, and his voice spread far and wide.

At this moment.

Not far away, there was already a crowd of people watching the fun. Knowing that today was the last day for Jiang Chen to repair the dragon veins, they simply stopped hiding their figures and all showed up and crowded together to act as a crowd.

Hearing Elder Ouyang begin to question Jiang Chen, chatter suddenly spread from the crowd.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the show is coming!"

"[Thunder Fire Sect] has already made a move, let's see how Jiang Chen will respond!"

"I have to say that this young man is really courageous - he obviously has no ability to repair the dragon veins, but he actually dares to extort treasures from the [Thunder Fire Sect]."

"I wonder if he overestimated his ability or underestimated the strength of [Thunder Fire Sect]?"

"Haha~ This is a common problem among young people - after a few grades, they start to fall behind!"

"..."

Among the onlookers, other than gloating or ridiculing, no one really paid attention to what Elder Ouyang said.

These people are not fools. They naturally know what Elder Ouyang thinks. The talk of "saving ordinary people from fire and water" and the talk of "not wanting tens of millions of people to suffer" are all nonsense!

The other party put on such a righteous and awe-inspiring posture, it was just to find an excuse for themselves.

Next, let’s see how Jiang Chen will respond!

Amidst the noisy discussions and expectant gazes of the crowd, Jiang Chen did not apologize or directly retaliate as the crowd expected, but instead grinned at Elder Ouyang and others.

"I wonder what Elder Ouyang wants to say?" Without waiting for the other party to reply, he continued to ask, "When did I say I would not repair the dragon veins?"

"You also said that today is only the deadline to repair the dragon veins, which means I still have one day today, right?!"

As soon as he said this, Elder Ouyang frowned slightly, and another old man beside him couldn't help but said,

"Jiang Chen, don't waste time here."

"Do you really think we don't know what you are thinking?"

"To tell you the truth, even if Xuanchengzi comes today, you still have to give us an explanation for taking benefits but refusing to contribute."

"Otherwise, you should quickly repair the dragon veins now!"

This elder no longer intends to continue pretending. His attitude is much more tyrannical than that of Elder Ouyang, and he is very likely to take action if he disagrees.

Seeing this scene, the faces of Li Wen and others on the side changed slightly. When they were about to step forward, Jiang Chen suddenly reached out to stop them.

"Okay~ According to what this elder said, I will start repairing the dragon veins now."

"Um?"

On the top of the mountain, everyone who heard this sentence was stunned. No one expected Jiang Chen to say this. Before they could react, Jiang Chen turned to look at Elder Ouyang.

"Is this okay?"

Elder Ouyang's brows that had just relaxed wrinkled again: "Of course!"

"Okay!" Jiang Chen clapped his hands suddenly, "By the way, if I remember correctly, Elder Ouyang just said that you all are at my disposal, right?"

"It's like this. I need those huge rocks on the mountainside now. Please move all those rocks to the top of the mountain. I will start repairing the dragon veins immediately."

Jiang Chen pointed to a pile of huge rocks halfway up the mountain. This peak was one of the peaks where the dragon veins were destroyed by the [Xunlong Sect]. Those rubbles were left behind when they destroyed the dragon veins!

"I almost forgot to mention that all I need are boulders at least as tall as a person. Those small pieces of gravel are useless!"

"Jiang Chen!"

The old man who spoke before suddenly shouted loudly, with anger on his face.

"Now, you still want to entertain us?!"

The old man wanted to continue to say harsh words, but Jiang Chen ignored him at all and just looked up at the silent Elder Ouyang.

"I told you, I need those boulders to repair the dragon veins!"

"As long as you can bring up enough boulders, I can repair the dragon veins by noon!"

"certainly."

"If you think I'm entertaining you, you can just refuse!"

"However, there is only this chance!"

There was no fear in Jiang Chen's words. Elder Ouyang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Chen standing with a smile, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

After a while.

"Jiang Chen, you should know the consequences of lying to me!"

Elder Ouyang said this, and then turned to look at the young disciples around him.

"You go down and bring up those huge rocks halfway up the mountain!"

"Elder...Elder?"

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

"yes!"

Those young people from [Thunder Fire Cult] did not dare to say anything more, and could only walk down the mountain filled with grievances.
