Divine War Pill Emperor

RUUUMBLE...

The moment Jiang Chen and the others walked out of the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb, a deafening roar echoed as the entire structure completely collapsed, leaving a massive, deep pit in its place.

The Lin Family Ancestral Tomb was no more.

Jiang Chen glanced back at the ruins. A memory and a drop of his blood had been buried there.

Now, he had reclaimed it all.

”Let’s go.”

Without a backward glance, he turned and left.

Murong Xiangming was by his side.

As for the Golden-haired Zombie King, Jiang Chen had already recalled it into his Spirit Beast Bag.

After all, a Golden-haired Zombie King at the First Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect was a terrifying sight. Its appearance alone would scare anyone from getting close.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Chen had been forced to put the Golden-haired Zombie King away.

Following behind him was Xiao Jun, captain of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps.

There was another person with them, Mr. Jiao, whom they had met before. He was the only other survivor from the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.

However, Mr. Jiao was clearly injured.

Mr. Jiao was weak. He had been chased by zombies earlier and had nearly lost his life.

He was pale and leaned on Xiao Jun for support.

He glanced at Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming flying ahead of them.

Mr. Jiao said to Xiao Jun, ”Xiao Jun, you know him, don’t you?”

Xiao Jun nodded.

”Yes, he’s from the Warring States Mercenary Corps.”

”But it’s just a weak Three-Star Mercenary Corps.”

Mr. Jiao was a Martial King at the Fifth Heaven, so he was considered quite an expert.

He was baffled.

”With his strength, how could he possibly be in a small Three-Star Mercenary Corps? He could easily join a Four-Star Mercenary Corps.”

Despite his confusion, he didn’t say anything more.

Mr. Jiao suddenly sighed. ”All our men are dead. It’s just the two of us left. My Autumn Wind Mercenary Corps is gone.”

”Xiao Jun, what are your plans?”

As he spoke, he glanced toward Jiang Chen, who was flying in front of them.

He knew that Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming could surely hear them.

He made no attempt to be discreet.

Xiao Jun fell silent.

Everyone from his Black Demon Mercenary Corps was indeed dead. He had brought almost the entire team, only to witness such a tragedy.

Finally, he gave a bitter smile, glanced at Jiang Chen, but said nothing.

Mr. Jiao seemed to understand what Xiao Jun was thinking.

He suddenly said, ”Since Jiang Chen saved both of us, I’m willing to follow him to repay that debt of gratitude.”

”You shouldn’t hesitate, either.”

One was a Martial King, the other a Martial King at the Fifth Heaven. They were undoubtedly top-tier experts.

With their Cultivation, they could easily establish a new power of their own.

And yet, they chose to follow Jiang Chen.

They had seen his potential.

Not only was his own Cultivation at the Third Heaven of the Martial King realm, but he also had a Golden-haired Zombie King at the First Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect. With that kind of power, he could establish himself anywhere.

Most importantly, they had witnessed his potential firsthand: he had leaped from the Sixth Level of Martial Master to the Third Heaven of the Martial King realm in a single breakthrough. It was unprecedented.

A breakthrough like that was one of a kind.

”That’s what I was thinking, too.”

Xiao Jun had also decided to follow Jiang Chen. ’I might regret following him for a little while, but I’d regret not following him for a lifetime.’

Suddenly, Mr. Jiao’s brow furrowed deeply as he looked at Murong Xiangming.

His mouth then fell open, as if he were about to cry out in shock.

But he managed to hold it back.

He pointed at Murong Xiangming and said to Xiao Jun, ”Xiao Jun, look. That woman with Jiang Chen... she looks familiar. I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before.”

For some reason, Mr. Jiao couldn’t shake the feeling that the woman was familiar.

It dawned on Xiao Jun as well. ”You’re right. I thought she looked familiar when I first saw her, but I just couldn’t place her.”

Martial Cultivators generally have excellent memories. It’s rare for them to forget something they’ve seen.

And yet, neither of them could remember where they had seen Murong Xiangming.

After a moment, Mr. Jiao suddenly spoke up. ”Could she be... Miss Murong Xiangming of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion?”

He still sounded uncertain.

After all, he’d never seen Murong Xiangming up close, only catching a glimpse of her from a distance, but that had left him with a rough impression.

The status of the young miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion was, after all, extraordinary.

She wasn’t someone just anyone could approach.

At that, Xiao Jun was stunned.

The young miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion... her status was simply staggering.

Thinking further, for the young miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion to be with Jiang Chen, it was clear that Jiang Chen’s own identity was anything but simple.

Still, Xiao Jun had his doubts.

”Mr. Jiao, are you certain that’s the young miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion?”

”Would the young miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion really be interested in the treasures of the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb?”

The Treasure Elephant Pavilion itself held countless treasures. It didn’t make much sense for Murong Xiangming to be interested in the contents of the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.

Mr. Jiao pondered for a moment before stating with renewed certainty, ”I’m sure of it. She is Miss Murong, the young miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.”

He broke into a nervous sweat as he spoke.

It was just too incredible.

”This...”

The two of them, trailing behind, glanced from Jiang Chen to Murong Xiangming and back again.

”Jiang Chen’s relationship with Miss Murong seems unusual.”

”Could he be from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, too?”

The same thought occurred to both of them. ’If Jiang Chen is from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, his status would be frightening!’

Moreover, they noticed that when Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming were together, it subtly seemed that even she deferred to him.

They exchanged glances, their resolve to follow Jiang Chen solidifying.

After several days of continuous flight, the silhouette of Gambling City gradually grew clearer in Jiang Chen’s vision.

”Heh, we’re almost there.”

Murong Xiangming suddenly smiled at Jiang Chen, her face as beautiful as a blossoming flower.

”Jiang Chen, once we get back, I’ll help you find a way to get close to the Third Prince, Wen Shiren.”

”You can count on it.”

She knew Jiang Chen wanted revenge, but the Fire Sparrow Kingdom was filled with experts as numerous as clouds in the sky; getting revenge would not be simple.

That was why she suggested an indirect route for Jiang Chen: first get close to the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s Third Prince, then use the opportunity to kill Wen Shixi.

”Alright. I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

Jiang Chen now had the Golden-haired Zombie King, an expert at the First Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect, as well as a horde of other Silver-haired and Green-haired Zombies.

But even with such strength, there was still a significant gap between him and the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

It would be impossible for him to kill Wen Shixi while he was under the protection of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s many experts.

Therefore, he decided to accept Murong Xiangming’s proposal to first get close to the Third Prince, Wen Shiren, and then use that as an opportunity to kill Wen Shixi.

It would take a very long time for his strength to grow to a point where he no longer had to fear the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

The four of them landed outside Gambling City.

Murong Xiangming was the first to depart.

”Why are you two following me?”

Jiang Chen turned to look at Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao.

Mr. Jiao’s injuries had mostly healed during their journey.

Yet here they were, still following him.

Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao immediately broke into bright smiles. ”Jiang Chen, we’ve discussed it. We’d like to follow you from now on.”
