The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Just as everyone was discussing Jiang Chuan's astonishing breakthrough, Zhou Shan convened an emergency meeting within the Huashan Organization to discuss possible countermeasures against retaliation from the demon realm.

In the conference room, Liu Kaitao, He Teng, and the team captains gathered together, the atmosphere tense and serious.

"Gentlemen, Jiang Chuan's successful sealing of Jiuying has undoubtedly angered the demon realm, but the demon race will absolutely not let this go."

Zhou Shan's gaze swept over everyone present, his tone heavy and resolute, "We must prepare in advance, strengthen our defenses, and, more importantly, enhance the overall capabilities of our personnel, just in case."

"Regarding the situation in Jiangchuan,"

Liu Kaitao picked up the conversation, "He has already reached the Great Perfection of the Yellow Rank. The next step is to break through to the Profound Rank, and this step is crucial. We must fully support him, and at the same time, cultivate more capable new talents to form a force strong enough to contend with the demon race."

“That’s right,” He Teng agreed. “Jiang Chuan’s progress is certainly commendable, but we can’t rely entirely on him. I propose increasing the allocation of internal cultivation resources, especially for promising newcomers, so they can also grow rapidly.”

“Furthermore,” one team member stepped forward, drawing the attention of the others, “I think we should utilize Jiang Chuan’s connection with the demon realm. Perhaps we can obtain more information about the demon realm from him, which would be of immeasurable value to our preparations.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shan pondered for a moment and then nodded: "That's a good suggestion. Jiang Chuan could indeed become a window for us to understand the demon realm. But before that, we must ensure his safety and eliminate any factors that might pose a threat to him."

"Everyone must be on high alert and not let their guard down!"

After the meeting, Jiang Chuan sat cross-legged in his room, fully digesting the lessons learned from the battle.

Outside the door, Qingyun transformed into human form to protect him. Suddenly, he heard someone approaching and opened his eyes alertly.

"Qingyun, it's me." Liu Kaitao's voice came through the door. Qingyun relaxed her guard slightly and stepped aside.

"Jiang Chuan, are you awake?" Liu Kaitao walked into the room, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Minister Liu, I've just finished consolidating my spiritual power. Is there anything I can help you with?" Jiang Chuan opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing.

“The demon realm might be making some moves, so I’m here to remind you. I also want to ask if you can use your senses to find out more clues about the demon realm,” Liu Kaitao said bluntly.

Jiang Chuan was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly and replied, "The situation in the demon realm is rather complicated, and currently, my strength is still quite weak."

"I think it would be easier if I could advance to the Xuan rank."

"That's it."

Liu Kaitao nodded understandingly, "However, you have just been promoted to the Great Perfection of the Yellow Rank, so the Profound Rank is probably still a long way off."

Jiang Chuan nodded in agreement; it was no longer possible for him to advance to the Xuan rank in a short period of time.

But the demon realm won't make any new moves so quickly.

The seal on Jiuying might also cause some apprehension in the demon realm.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhou and He Teng have arrived at the command post now."

Liu Kaitao then spoke, and Jiang Chuan was stunned. They're here?

At this critical juncture, is he planning to launch an attack on the demon race? Has he gone mad?

Just then, a murmur came from the corridor. Several young team members passed by Jiang Chuan's door. They lowered their voices, but could not hide the strong sense of amazement and admiration in their tone.

"Have you heard? Jiang Chuan actually sealed away Jiuying, that's a powerful demon from the demon realm!"

"That's right. I really don't know how he did it. Just a few days ago he was only an ordinary early stage Yellow Rank, but now he's already at the Great Perfection of Yellow Rank."

"Oh, don't even mention it! Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable!"

"We also need to hurry up and improve our strength, otherwise if the demon race really attacks one day, who will protect humanity?"

Hearing the discussions outside the door, Jiang Chuan secretly made a decision in his heart.

In any case, I must improve my strength as soon as possible, not only to fight against the demon realm, but also to protect my companions and this land.

He had a deep love for this land.

"Don't worry, Minister Liu, I will do my best to inform you as soon as I can sense any movement in the demon realm."

Liu Kaitao nodded with satisfaction and patted Jiang Chuan on the shoulder, "I believe in you, Jiang Chuan."

"Remember, no matter what, the organization is always your strong support."

Jiang Chuan nodded solemnly. He knew that from this moment on, the responsibility on his shoulders would be even heavier.

"By the way, Mr. Zhou and He Teng came to see you. They probably have something more important to discuss. Get ready, I'll go and let them know you're awake."

Liu Kaitao turned to leave.

"I'll go with you."

Meanwhile, Zhou Shan and He Teng were waiting in the command post, their faces showing a serious and determined expression, clearly indicating that they attached great importance to the matters to be discussed next.

"Zhou Shan, do you really think Jiang Chuan can sense the movements of the demon realm?" He Teng asked in a low voice, his brows furrowed with both worry and anticipation.

“Jiang Chuan’s potential far exceeds our imagination. Since he was able to successfully seal Jiu Ying, it means that there is some special connection between him and the demon realm.”

"This power is by no means accidental."

“Give him enough time and space, and he might surprise us,” Zhou Shan replied confidently.

Soon after, Liu Kaitao led Jiang Chuan into the command post, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to him.

Jiang Chuan remained calm, displaying a reassuring composure despite his heavy responsibilities.

"Jiang Chuan, your heroic act this time has not only shocked the demon realm, but also greatly boosted the morale of all of us," Zhou Shan said, his words full of recognition and encouragement for Jiang Chuan.

He Teng continued, "We hope you can try to use your abilities to see if you can find out some things about the demon realm, as this is crucial to our defense strategy. Of course, we know this may be a huge challenge for you, but please do try."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding team members all cast admiring and expectant glances, and began to discuss among themselves:

"Jiang Chuan's ability to achieve this level is truly impressive!"

"That's right! If he can really sense the movements in the demon realm, it would be a huge boost for us!"

Looking at the trusting eyes of his teammates, Jiang Chuan took a deep breath and nodded resolutely: "At present, my abilities are not yet able to sense the dynamics of the demon realm."

"Moreover, when I sealed the Nine-Headed Serpent, it was a powerful force that combined the spiritual energy within my body with my weapon that sealed it."

Jiang Chuan recalled the time when he sealed the Nine-Headed Serpent. The Dragon Roar Sword trembled wildly in his hand, and he almost failed to grasp its power.

In the end, Jiang Chuan sealed Jiu Ying permanently within the sword.

"I'm afraid the demon realm will make a comeback."

"The target is very likely you," Zhou Shan said in a deep voice. He had a premonition that the demon realm would not allow Jiang Chuan to develop unchecked, and they would definitely try every means to find out about Jiang Chuan.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan nodded, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way."

"Kill every demon that comes, or two demons!"

Jiang Chuan's eyes were unusually sharp at this moment, and everyone present was intimidated by his cold gaze.

"But Jiang Chuan, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are already very strong."

Liu Kaitao comforted her from the side.

However, Jiang Chuan clenched his fists, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice, "Not enough, far from enough!"

"There is always an exceptionally powerful spiritual energy surging within me, but I find it difficult to absorb. It's as if it's not my own spiritual energy. That feeling is very mysterious."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shan couldn't help but laugh and said, "With your current strength, you can't absorb that much spiritual energy."

"I'm rather curious about just how much spiritual power you possess, that even with your Yellow Rank Great Perfection strength, you can't absorb it."

He Teng chimed in, "You're really scary, kid. Back then, you were the one behind me, the one who needed my protection."

"Now all of humanity depends on you for protection."

He Teng said with a smile, and Jiang Chuan scratched his head embarrassedly, "No, it's not that serious. There are many people who are more capable than me, but they may be hermits in the mountains and haven't come out yet."

"Just because we haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist. There are many extraordinary people in this world."

"Perhaps they will only reveal themselves when humanity is truly in danger..."

The others nodded in agreement. Jiang Chuan's words did make sense; sometimes, people are limited by their own perceptions.

But does something outside your perception not exist?
the answer is negative.

Just as the group was talking, the intelligence department erupted into chaos.

"What's this!?"

"Demon... demonic aura!"

"There are enemies! Report this to Minister Liu and Mr. Zhou immediately! Something terrible has happened!" an intelligence officer said in a panic.

On the monitor, Mount Hua itself was covered in lush foliage, with a gentle breeze blowing. Suddenly, in the middle of the screen, a thick black cloud floated out from the sky and instantly enveloped the small mountain.

Upon discovering this unusual phenomenon, they immediately reported the situation to Zhou Shan and the others present.

"Demonic aura?" Zhou Shan and He Teng exchanged a glance, both noticing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Jiang Chuan's expression also tightened; he knew this meant that the demon realm had indeed begun to take action.

"Immediately activate the emergency warning system and notify all team members to enter combat readiness!" Zhou Shan decisively ordered, and the atmosphere in the command center instantly became extremely tense.

"Jiang Chuan, can you determine the source of that demonic energy?" He Teng asked Jiang Chuan anxiously, hoping to obtain more information by using his special perception.

Jiang Chuan closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to sense the source of the demonic energy, but he did not succeed. He shook his head and said, "No, my current range of perception is limited."

There is no way to pinpoint its location.

"It seems the demon realm has begun its probing attacks." Liu Kaitao clenched his fist, his eyes revealing a fearless determination.

The intelligence department personnel rushed over and handed over the latest intelligence: "Minister Zhou, according to preliminary judgment, the demonic aura seems to come from an unknown powerful demonic beast. Its aura is similar to that of the Nine-Headed Serpent sealed by Jiang Chuan, but it is even more terrifying."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan's heart sank. He knew that the demon realm would never let him go easily, and this sudden attack was probably just the beginning.

"No matter what kind of monster it is, we must fight it!" Jiang Chuan said firmly, his voice echoing throughout the command center and igniting everyone's fighting spirit.

"Alright! We'll stay here and wait for them!" Zhou Shan slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his passionate words igniting the high spirits of all the team members.

"No matter how the demon realm provokes us, we will hold our ground and not yield an inch!" He Teng echoed, his eyes filled with unwavering determination, as if he could already see the fierce battle that was about to begin.

At that moment, the team members outside the door also heard Jiang Chuan's determination. They whispered among themselves, expressing their deep respect for Jiang Chuan's courage and sense of responsibility.

"Senior Brother Jiang Chuan, he's a real tough guy. He's not afraid of facing the demon realm."

"Yes, if it were me, I would probably be so scared that my legs would have gone weak."

"Don't forget, we are also members of this organization. In critical moments, we must also do our part!"

As the demonic aura drew near, a solemn atmosphere descended upon the Huashan Organization, with everyone preparing for this battle that would determine their life or death.

"Demon Realm, I, Jiang Chuan, hereby swear that I will thwart your conspiracy and protect the peace of my human realm!" Jiang Chuan silently vowed in his heart, then opened his eyes, which shone with determination and resolve.

Just as everyone was on high alert and ready to go, Jiang Chuan suddenly felt a strong tremor rise from the bottom of his heart. He frowned slightly, and the dragon's roar at his waist was also buzzing, as if it had a subtle resonance with that demonic energy.

"Everyone, although I cannot pinpoint the exact location of the demonic energy, I feel that this demonic energy is intricately related to the Nine-Headed Serpent I sealed before."

Jiang Chuan's expression was solemn, and his words caused an uproar among everyone.

Zhou Shan frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Are you saying that this might be a relative of Jiuying? Or a demon beast influenced by Jiuying?"

Jiang Chuan nodded and replied, "It's very likely, but we still need to confirm it further."

"However, I have an idea. Perhaps I can try to make contact with that demonic energy and see if I can extract some information from it."

He Teng hesitated for a moment, then said worriedly, "Jiang Chuan, doing this is too risky."

"You have just advanced to the Great Perfection of the Yellow Rank, and your body has not yet fully adapted."

"If you force yourself to come into contact with that powerful demonic energy again, it will probably cause great damage to yourself."

Jiang Chuan smiled calmly, a determined glint in his eyes.

"I know the risks involved, but if I don't do it, who will? This is the front line in our fight against the demon realm, and as the captain of the vanguard, I must be at the forefront!"

The team members outside the door were shocked to hear them talking.

"Jiang Chuan has really done a lot for us."

"Well, who can argue with that? If it were me, I probably wouldn't even dare to get close to that demonic aura."

"What is Jiang Chuan's strength? What is yours?"

"I advise you to drink rat tail juice!" (End of Chapter)
