Divine War Pill Emperor

It was only then that Kang Shou realized he had underestimated Jiang Chen.

Anyone who could subdue a Purple-Haired Demon Wolf with Martial King Cultivation was by no means simple.

Not to mention he could casually produce hundreds of millions of crystal coins. A person like that could not be taken lightly.

He was finally afraid.

He knew he had stirred up huge trouble.

The other party had ignored the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s rules and actually attacked. It was clear this person was not to be trifled with.

”Apologize again. Be sincere this time.”

Jiang Chen stood before Kang Shou and said coldly.

He wasn’t afraid of offending the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

This time, Kang Shou gave Jiang Chen a deep bow.

”I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

The words had barely left his mouth.

when Jiang Chen’s palm shot out.

He struck Kang Shou square in the chest.

Kang Shou was sent flying by Jiang Chen’s blow.

If he hadn’t displayed overwhelming strength, this man would never have apologized.

Meanwhile, Yan Yun had been cornered by the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf, too afraid to move.

Still, she shouted angrily, ”Brat, you’ve gone too far!”

”How dare you attack someone in our Treasure Elephant Pavilion.”

She eyed the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf warily. The beast was at the Martial King First Heaven, a level higher than her own Cultivation.

Moreover, the Combat Power of a Demon Beast at Martial King First Heaven was comparable to that of a human expert at Martial King Second Heaven.

Thus, she could only watch helplessly as Jiang Chen sent Kang Shou flying with a single palm strike.

She was completely powerless to intervene.

Zhan Yang and the others were stunned. Jiang Chen had actually attacked someone in the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

They all stood with their mouths agape, utterly speechless.

’It’s over,’ they thought to themselves.

As for Kang Shou, he lay on the ground, his chest aching terribly.

He slowly climbed to his feet.

He glared at Jiang Chen.

He had apologized, yet Jiang Chen had still struck him.

He was filled with hatred for Jiang Chen.

”What’s going on here?”

Just then, a voice filled with authority called out.

It was an old man, followed by many experts from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

They stormed down from the fourth floor.

The commotion had grown so out of hand that it had alerted the powerhouses of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

The old man had brought his experts down in response.

Upon seeing the old man, both Yan Yun, who was trapped in the corner, and Kang Shou were overjoyed.

”It’s Chief Steward Xiao!”

Chief Steward Xiao was a master at the Martial King Fifth Heaven.

He appeared at Kang Shou’s side.

He asked, ”Are you alright?”

Kang Shou hurriedly and respectfully nodded. ”Chief Steward Xiao, I’m fine.”

”I was just injured by that brat.”

As he spoke, he shot a cold smirk at Jiang Chen.

It seemed he knew that with Chief Steward Xiao here, he would get his revenge.

”Good. Since you’re fine.”

”Go on, give him a few more slaps to teach him a lesson.”

Chief Steward Xiao had suddenly spoken such words.

Hearing this, Kang Shou was ecstatic. Chief Steward Xiao was really going to teach Jiang Chen a lesson and demonstrate the might of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf appeared at Jiang Chen’s side, its fierce gaze locked on Chief Steward Xiao. It seemed to know how powerful the man was.

Freed from her predicament, Yan Yun also hurried to Chief Steward Xiao’s side.

She looked at Chief Steward Xiao, stunned.

”Chief Steward Xiao, that brat attacked someone in our Treasure Elephant Pavilion. He does deserve a beating.”

But Chief Steward Xiao rebuked her angrily, ”Yan Yun, as their leader, you can’t tell right from wrong. Perhaps you need a beating too?”

’What?’

Yan Yun froze, completely confused about what was happening.

Just then, Chief Steward Xiao spoke again.

”What are you waiting for? Get to it!”

The experts beside him immediately charged toward Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen’s expression changed slightly, and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf’s hackles rose as it prepared for battle.

Among the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s experts present, two were Martial Kings—one at Martial King Third Heaven and one at Martial King First Heaven. The rest were at Martial Artist Ninth Heaven.

”Idiots! Are you out of your minds?”

Chief Steward Xiao suddenly roared.

His face darkened.

The experts who were about to attack all froze, looking at Chief Steward Xiao in confusion.

’We didn’t do anything wrong, did we? Aren’t we supposed to teach the troublemaker, Jiang Chen, a lesson?’

Chief Steward Xiao was absolutely furious.

’Are these people brain-dead?’

He pointed at Kang Shou and said, ”I told you to slap *him*, you idiots!”

’What?’

Everyone was stunned.

Yan Yun also realized at that moment that Chief Steward Xiao didn’t want them to hit Jiang Chen, but Kang Shou.

Only then did she understand what Chief Steward Xiao had said to her earlier.

He was clearly reprimanding her for being a poor leader.

However, the men who had charged at Jiang Chen immediately turned and went to stand before Kang Shou.

Kang Shou wore an expression of complete astonishment, still unable to process what was happening.

’Chief Steward Xiao showed up, and not only did he not cause trouble for Jiang Chen, but he’s now turning around to have me slapped?’

’But I’m one of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s own people!’

SMACK!

Someone had already raised a hand and slapped Kang Shou hard across the face.

Then came several more slaps in quick succession.

They were just following Chief Steward Xiao’s orders, but they had no idea why they were hitting one of their own.

Kang Shou was instantly dazed by the blows, blood spraying from the corner of his mouth.

After the beating was over, Kang Shou was still bewildered.

He asked, baffled, ”Why are you hitting me?”

Chief Steward Xiao snorted coldly.

”You know damn well why you’re being hit.”

”This should teach you a lesson. From now on, be polite to our guests.”

With that, he waved his hand and said, ”Yan Yun, get rid of this guy who offended our guest. Now. Immediately.”

”Our Treasure Elephant Pavilion has no need for trash like him.”

Yan Yun was still in a daze.

But after punishing Kang Shou, Chief Steward Xiao hurried forward a few steps, came before Jiang Chen, and said politely, ”Young Master Jiang, our Young Miss knows you have arrived.”

”However, she is very busy at the moment, so she sent me to receive you.”

”Please, come to the fourth floor.”

Jiang Chen was stunned.

He had expected another bitter fight, but instead, this happened.

This Chief Steward Xiao was being so friendly to him.

Soon, a thought occurred to him.

He asked in surprise, ”Your Young Miss... could she be Miss Murong?”

If they were talking about the Young Miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, Jiang Chen guessed it was most likely the mysterious Murong Xiangming.

She was the only one he knew.

And she was the only one who could have arranged for someone to receive him in advance.

It was clear Murong Xiangming had gone to great lengths.

Chief Steward Xiao immediately smiled. ”Indeed. Our Young Miss often speaks of you, Young Master Jiang.”

”She holds you in high praise.”

”She happens to be very busy these few days, so please forgive her.”

Jiang Chen came to a sudden realization.

’With the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s capabilities, they must have known the moment I entered Gambling City.’

And that was indeed the case.

As for Zhan Yang and the others, their jaws dropped once again in utter disbelief.

”Jiang Chen... he actually knows the Young Miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion?”

”Heavens, how is that possible?”

Zhan Yang and his companions were Mercenaries, after all, so they were well-informed.

They knew that the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s Young Miss had only recently been appointed to her position. She was said to be as beautiful as a celestial fairy.

As they stood there in shock,

Yan Yun also came to her senses.

A cold sweat almost broke out on her back.

’According to Chief Steward Xiao, this Young Master Jiang is a good friend of our Young Miss. To think we treated him this way...’ Yan Yun felt she probably wouldn’t last much longer at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

She wanted to cry but had no tears.

She also understood why Kang Shou had been beaten.

’He deserved it!’

Kang Shou’s face was ashen, and he was terrified beyond belief.

’He actually knows the Young Miss?’

’How is that possible?’

’Why didn’t he tell me sooner?’

He was kicking himself with regret.

’The Young Miss... the entire Treasure Elephant Pavilion treats her like a precious treasure.’

’A single word from the Young Miss is the law of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.’

’Even though the Young Miss rarely shows herself, her authority is immense.’

He knew he had provoked someone he absolutely could not afford to provoke.
