Divine War Pill Emperor

”Who is it?”

The guards stationed outside the door cried out in alarm when they saw a streak of light shooting toward them.

All eight guards attacked at once.

”BANG! BANG! BANG...”

Jiang Chen didn’t even need to act. In an instant, the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf sent the eight guards flying, their fates unknown.

However, the commotion had clearly alerted others within the manor.

Numerous guards began rushing toward the West Wing Courtyard.

”Quick, we’re under attack!”

”Notify the Manor Master!”

Lin Ying, who was in the middle of his Cultivation, was suddenly startled by the chaos erupting in his manor.

He abruptly stopped his Cultivation, and with a flicker of his figure, he shot into the air.

He sped directly toward the West Wing Courtyard.

’Damn it, who could it be?’

A vicious glint appeared in his eyes.

With his Martial King Cultivation, he could naturally walk on air as if it were solid ground.

Thus, his speed was incredibly fast.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf had violently smashed through the courtyard door.

”BOOM!”

With a loud crash, Jiang Chen and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf appeared inside the room.

They immediately saw several pillars inside.

Two people were tied to two of these pillars.

One of them, an elderly man covered in injuries, was immediately recognized by Jiang Chen as Lev.

The person on the other pillar was, of course, Lin Yuan.

’Just as I thought.’

Jiang Chen’s expression shifted slightly upon seeing them both tied up.

”That Mr. Lin is coming,” the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf said hurriedly.

Jiang Chen had only intended to rescue them and didn’t want to cause a huge scene.

With a flash of his Cloud Mist Sword, he struck the iron chains binding Lev.

”CLANG!”

The chains were no match for the hardness of Jiang Chen’s Cloud Mist Sword and immediately broke into several pieces, falling to the ground.

Meanwhile, the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf had already shattered the chains on Lin Yuan with a swipe of its claw.

”Jiang Chen.”

Lev recognized Jiang Chen at once and was about to say something.

But Jiang Chen held up a hand. ”Don’t talk. Let’s get out of here first.”

”Brother Jiang Chen...”

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but cry out.

But Jiang Chen wasted no time on words. He grabbed both Lin Yuan and Lev, tucking one under each arm.

In a flash, he was on the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf’s back.

”Kill them!”

At that moment, the manor’s guards had charged in.

The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf, however, paid them no mind. It smashed straight out of the room and rapidly took to the sky.

The men below were powerless to stop them.

”You bastards! Stop right there!”

Just then, Lin Ying arrived, bellowing in fury.

Lin Yuan was still useful to him; he couldn’t let him be taken.

”ROAR—”

Just as he tried to intercept the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf and Jiang Chen, the beast let out a ferocious roar.

It made him tremble from head to toe.

’Damn it, it’s that strong.’

He was stunned and hastily dodged aside.

The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf instantly flickered and burst out of the manor grounds.

Lin Ying could only watch helplessly as the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf vanished at an incredible speed.

He was willing but lacked the power. He knew that if he tried to stop a Demon Beast like this one, he would be the one getting killed.

It was obvious the other party had no intention of fighting him; they only wanted to take Lin Yuan and Lev.

Everything happened so fast that Lin Ying couldn’t even get a clear look at who was on the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf’s back.

Only after the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf had completely disappeared...

...did he appear in the West Wing Courtyard, seething with rage.

The place was already empty, with only the broken chains left on the floor.

The door to the West Wing Courtyard was in pieces.

”Damn bastards.”

”Who did this?”

His face was ashen with fury.

He scanned his surroundings, still furious.

’Luckily, I managed to find out the location of the Lin Family Secret Manual just in time.’

’Tonight’s rescue of Lin Yuan and Lev must have also been for the Lin Family Secret Manual.’

’No, I have to set out tonight to find the manual.’

Aware of the urgent situation, Lin Ying couldn’t be bothered with anything else.

He had originally planned to sell the manor for a quick profit, but there was no time for that now.

He summoned a loyal steward and instructed, ”The situation has changed. Have someone repair the West Wing Courtyard tonight.”

”When the buyer arrives tomorrow, make sure nothing goes wrong.”

”After you sell the manor, come find me.”

After giving his orders, he left only the steward behind, taking everyone else with him. They set out that very night, leaving Gambling City and heading straight for Boluo Tomb—the ancestral grave of the Lin Family.

He was going to find the secret manual.

「In a room at the inn.」

”WAAAH...”

The moment Lin Yuan saw JinLing and the others, he burst into tears.

It was as if he was releasing all his pent-up grievances.

”Sister JinLing...”

JinLing immediately went to comfort Lin Yuan.

”It’s okay, Lin Yuan. It’s okay. You’re safe now.”

Niu Tuo and Lu Beifeng helped treat Lev’s injuries. It was clear he had been severely wounded by Lin Ying’s cruel methods.

After they had tended to his wounds...

...Lev immediately knelt before Jiang Chen.

”Thank you. Thank you, and thank all of you.”

He had been saved by Jiang Chen yet again.

Lev’s heart was filled with gratitude.

JinLing had also finished comforting Lin Yuan.

Naturally, they both expressed their profound thanks to Jiang Chen once more.

After a while, the two had calmed down considerably.

JinLing then asked, ”What exactly happened?”

”Weren’t you going to your second uncle for help? How did it come to this?”

Lin Yuan looked heartbroken.

Lev spoke up, ”It’s a shameful story.”

”That Lin Ying was originally a stray child adopted by Lin Yuan’s father. He has no blood ties to the Lin Family at all.”

”But we never expected that instead of repaying their kindness, Lin Ying would set his sights on the Lin Family’s secret manual. In the end, he brought ruin upon the family, destroyed their home, and even killed the Lin Family Patriarch.”

”Now, Lin Yuan is the only descendant of the Lin Family left.”

”We didn’t know Lin Ying’s true nature before. It wasn’t until we arrived at his manor in Gambling City that we learned he was the main culprit behind the Lin Family’s massacre.”

”He single-handedly slaughtered the Lin Family.”

”He tied Lin Yuan and me up to torture us for the location of the Lin Family Secret Manual.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen and the others could only shake their heads and sigh.

Lin Yuan’s story was truly pitiful.

His parents and relatives were all killed, and now he was being persecuted by his so-called ’second uncle’. Most people wouldn’t be able to accept such a reality.

”That Lin Ying is truly cruel.”

”He really is an ungrateful wolf cub,” JinLing said indignantly.

Lev sighed as well.

”I never expected any of this. If you hadn’t rescued us, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have survived for much longer.”

”If Lin Yuan had died, I would never be able to face the Lin Family Patriarch for his great kindness.”

Tears streamed down Lev’s old face as he spoke, a mess of snot and tears.

”What kind of secret manual does your Lin Family have that would attract Lin Ying’s attention?”

They were all surprised that the Lin Family even had a secret manual.

But it was indeed this secret manual that had brought disaster upon them.

Lev glanced at Lin Yuan, who said, ”Grandpa Lev, the Lin Family Secret Manual isn’t important to me. Brother Jiang Chen and his friends are good people. Just tell them the truth.”

Lin Yuan truly didn’t care about the so-called secret manual. If not for it, his family would never have been murdered.

In fact, he hated this supposed secret manual.

Jiang Chen waved his hand. ”If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to say anything.”

Lev sighed. ”There’s nothing that can’t be said. We’ve already told Lin Ying, so there’s no harm in telling you as well.”
