Divine War Pill Emperor

”I’m surprised you still remember me.”

”I was starting to think you’d forgotten all about me.”

Murong Xiangming’s face broke into a smile, as radiant as a blossoming flower, making her all the more captivating.

Without ceremony, Murong Xiangming walked into the courtyard.

It was obviously no difficult task for the Treasure Elephant Pavilion to find Jiang Chen.

Given the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s reach, and since Jiang Chen had already made contact with them, it was impossible for him to escape their notice.

The two walked side by side along a path in the manor.

Jiang Chen, dressed in a black robe, was tall and possessed an imposing air.

Most men would have been captivated by Murong Xiangming’s beauty, but Jiang Chen was unfazed.

The most beautiful woman he had ever seen was certainly not Murong Xiangming.

That honor belonged to his beloved Orchid Fairy. Now *she* was truly beautiful. It was no wonder she was called a fairy; one couldn’t earn such a title without the looks to back it up.

”Miss Murong, why did you come looking for me yourself?”

”If you had sent a message, I could have come to see you.”

He knew the Treasure Elephant Pavilion was well-informed, so he wasn’t surprised they had found him.

It was just that her status was anything but ordinary.

”You came to the Treasure Elephant Pavilion a few days ago, but I was unfortunately delayed and missed you. I felt quite bad about that.”

”Besides, you’re a big shot now. It’s only right that I come to pay you a visit.”

Murong Xiangming teased.

Her words left Jiang Chen at a loss for whether to laugh or cry.

The two made their way to a pavilion in the manor.

They caught up and made small talk.

But this scene instantly alerted everyone in the manor.

After all, there were only a few people in the manor.

Curious, they all rushed over to see what was happening.

Lin Yuan pointed at Murong Xiangming in the pavilion. ”Who’s that pretty lady? I’ve never seen her before,” he asked.

Beside him, Zhan Yang’s eyes flickered.

He glanced at JinLing, whose expression was a mixture of complex emotions.

He suddenly said, ”Maybe she’s a friend of Jiang Chen’s.”

Lin Yuan said again, ”That lady is so beautiful, just like a fairy.”

At these words, JinLing flinched.

Her eyes were full of jealousy.

’Who is she?’ she silently questioned. ’Why is she with Jiang Chen?’

She found herself growing agitated, not wanting any other woman near Jiang Chen.

Especially beautiful ones.

Jiang Chen also noticed the others watching.

But he didn’t pay them much mind.

He sat facing Murong Xiangming.

”Jiang Chen, to be honest, I know what you’re planning.”

”You want to kill the Second Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, Wen Shixi, right?”

It seemed none of Jiang Chen’s actions could escape Murong Xiangming’s sharp intellect.

She had long known everything that happened in Hanwu City.

Therefore, she also knew Jiang Chen’s goal.

Jiang Chen nodded. ”It seems you know everything.”

”I am here to kill Wen Shixi.”

At the thought of Wen Shixi, the man who had stolen his Martial Vein, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes, though he quickly masked it.

Murong Xiangming shook her head.

She advised, ”The Fire Sparrow Kingdom is very powerful. With your current Cultivation, it’s best not to be reckless.”

”Of course, if you need the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s help, just say the word. You’ve helped me before, so I will naturally do everything I can to help you.”

As the young mistress of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, her status alone was enough to represent the Pavilion. Her words carried the weight of the Pavilion’s authority.

Back in Hanwu City, Jiang Chen had helped her, so now she was naturally prepared to help him in return.

Jiang Chen shook his head. ”This is a grudge between me and Wen Shixi. I don’t want to involve the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.”

”I appreciate the sentiment, but I will handle this myself.”

Jiang Chen wasn’t a fool. He had been gathering information on the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s strength.

He knew he couldn’t afford to be rash.

But the thought of having to wait for a long time, perhaps even years, frustrated him.

But increasing one’s Cultivation wasn’t something that could be done overnight; it required steady accumulation over time.

There was no other way.

He would have his revenge, but only after his Cultivation was strong enough.

At the very least, he needed the power to overthrow the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

Murong Xiangming’s beautiful eyes twinkled as she seemed to ponder Jiang Chen’s predicament.

Suddenly, she proposed, ”I’ve thought about it. If you really want to get your revenge, it’s not impossible.”

”With your talents, I can give you an idea.”

At that moment, Jiang Chen was immediately intrigued by her proposal.

”I’m all ears.”

Jiang Chen looked at Murong Xiangming.

Murong Xiangming pondered for a moment, as if sorting out her thoughts, before saying, ”It’s simple. The Fire Sparrow Kingdom has three princes: the Crown Prince, Wen Shixuan; the Second Prince, Wen Shixi; and the Third Prince, Wen Shiren.”

”I heard that a while ago, the Crown Prince, Wen Shixuan, suffered a great loss in Guyue City. I presume you were the one who made him suffer?”

Jiang Chen was stunned, but it was indeed a fact.

”Grand General Ming Zhe was killed, and Wen Shixuan lost an arm and a leg.”

”I can’t think of anyone else besides you who could make him suffer such a loss.”

Murong Xiangming let out a light laugh. ”You’re still the impressive one.”

”But to get to the point, my proposal is this: you go and support the Third Prince, Wen Shiren. Help him become the future Sovereign, and killing Wen Shixi will be very simple.”

This was Murong Xiangming’s proposal.

Have Jiang Chen help Wen Shiren become the Sovereign.

And then take the opportunity to kill Wen Shixi.

After hearing this, Jiang Chen gave Murong Xiangming a thumbs-up.

”Good idea.”

But then a problem arose.

He didn’t know the Third Prince, Wen Shiren.

Seemingly understanding Jiang Chen’s thoughts, Murong Xiangming said, ”If you want to meet Wen Shiren, leave it to me. I can introduce you to the Third Prince.”

”You can count on me for this.”

Jiang Chen cupped his hands slightly. ”Then I must thank you, Miss Murong.”

”I’m sorry to have put you to so much trouble.”

But Murong Xiangming laughed. ”Between you and me, there’s no need for such formalities.”

”However, I remember you still owe me a favor...”

Jiang Chen was speechless. He did indeed owe Murong Xiangming a favor.

”Does this mean I owe you another favor?”

However, Murong Xiangming shook her head. ”This one doesn’t count.”

”You just need to owe me that one favor. I won’t forget it.”

Jiang Chen knew that with Murong Xiangming’s help this time, killing Wen Shixi might be easier.

Of course, that was just a thought. Whether he could actually kill Wen Shixi was still uncertain.

”Miss Murong, when are you going to cash in that favor?”

”Lest you keep holding it over my head.”

He didn’t like the idea of being perpetually in her debt; he’d rather repay it and be done with it.

”Hehe, I’m in no hurry. The best gifts are the ones saved for last.”

”I’ll let you know when I’ve thought of something.”

Murong Xiangming covered her mouth and smiled, not in a rush to call in her favor.

Jiang Chen felt quite frustrated. As long as the favor remained unpaid, she would have something to hold over him.

The two talked for a while longer.

Murong Xiangming suddenly changed the subject. ”I know of a certain treasure. I wonder if you might be interested?”

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Chen.

It was as if she knew Jiang Chen would definitely be interested.

Jiang Chen was indeed interested in the treasure Murong Xiangming mentioned.

After all, in Murong Xiangming’s eyes, an ordinary treasure was no treasure at all. If she called it a treasure, it must be something extraordinary.

”Tell me about it.”

Murong Xiangming didn’t beat around the bush. ”It’s the thing that’s been causing such a stir these past few days—the Lin Family’s secret manual, the Ten Directions Calculation.”

”I’m preparing to make a trip to the Boluo Tomb, and I was wondering if you’d be willing to go.”

”If you are, we can go together.”

What?

Hearing Murong Xiangming’s words, Jiang Chen was quite surprised.

He knew the Lin Family’s secret manual was indeed the Ten Directions Calculation from the Boluo Tomb.

He hadn’t expected that even Murong Xiangming would be after the Ten Directions Calculation.

This meant that the Ten Directions Calculation was indeed a remarkable treasure.
