Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen was still feeling uneasy after leaving the secret chamber.

After all, the Ten Directions Calculation had predicted that his attempt to kill Wen Shixi would result in great misfortune.

In other words, it would actually be very dangerous for him.

’To think, Wen Shixi stole my Martial Vein, and his cultivation is only at the Martial Master Realm at best.’

Jiang Chen could crush someone like that with a single finger now.

Yet the prediction was great misfortune.

’It must be due to the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s power. Wen Shixi is under their protection. If I want to kill him, I’ll definitely run into experts from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.’

’It seems I really do need to take an indirect approach. First, I’ll get close to the Third Prince, and then I’ll find an opportunity to kill Wen Shixi.’

Jiang Chen even suspected that Qin Muxue was in Gambling City with the Second Prince, Wen Shixi.

It would be a chance to settle all scores, new and old.

Since the Ten Directions Calculation predicted great misfortune, he naturally had no intention of killing Wen Shixi himself.

The predictions of the Ten Directions Calculation were never wrong.

At the same time, Jiang Chen needed a large quantity of materials for alchemy to evolve his Zombie and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf.

If he could get close to the Third Prince, he could surely obtain these materials far more easily with the prince’s help than by searching for them himself.

Now, he just had to wait for news from Murong Xiangming.

For now, he set aside the idea of assassinating Wen Shixi himself.

He would act when the calculations were in his favor.

Nothing else happened that day.

But early the next morning, Lu Beifeng rushed to Jiang Chen’s door.

”Master, there’s someone outside who wants to see you.”

”Will you see him?”

Jiang Chen walked out of his room and said coolly to Lu Beifeng, ”I am not your master. You should call me something else from now on.”

”When I offered you guidance, it wasn’t my intention to take you as a disciple.”

Ever since receiving his guidance, Lu Beifeng’s progress in the Sword Dao had advanced by leaps and bounds, and his cultivation had improved at lightning speed.

Just yesterday, he had broken through to the Martial Master Fourth Heaven.

But Lu Beifeng just chuckled.

”You guided me, so you are my master.”

He was shamelessly insistent, determined to call Jiang Chen his master.

Jiang Chen said helplessly, ”Suit yourself.”

”You said someone wanted to see me. Who is it?”

He was curious to have a visitor so early in the morning.

”I don’t know him. He said he’s looking for you. Why don’t you go and see for yourself?”

Jiang Chen nodded and walked to the entrance of the estate.

He saw a young man in a brocade robe standing at the gate, followed by several guards whose cultivation was in the Martial King Realm.

By the looks of it, they were dressed in the attire of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s Royal Family.

Jiang Chen was surprised and asked, ”Who’s looking for me?”

Although he could tell it was the man in the lead, he asked anyway.

The other man was clearly taken aback to see how young Jiang Chen was, but he could tell that Jiang Chen’s cultivation was at the Martial King Third Heaven.

He frowned slightly.

He secretly wondered, ’Is this the expert Miss Murong spoke of?’

’So young... Although his cultivation is at the Martial King Third Heaven, that level is not enough to change my situation.’

This was none other than the Third Prince, Wen Shiren, whose cultivation was at the Martial Master Eighth Heaven.

He immediately asked Jiang Chen, ”Might I ask, are you Jiang Chen?”

He was still skeptical of Jiang Chen’s abilities.

Even though Murong Xiangming had been the one to introduce him.

Therefore, his initial demeanor was quite detached. At worst, he would just be recruiting another hired hand.

He felt no respect for Jiang Chen, only deep suspicion.

After all, his eldest brother, Wen Shixuan, and his second brother, Wen Shixi, both had experts at the Seventh and Eighth Heavens of the Martial King Realm by their sides. The strongest expert he had was merely a Martial King Fifth Heaven.

He couldn’t compare to his two older brothers at all.

What he needed now were truly powerful experts with profound cultivation, not ordinary ones.

Jiang Chen gave a slight nod and said quietly, ”I am. And who are you?”

He also acted with indifference.

Jiang Chen didn’t much care who from the Royal Family the other man was.

There were not many people he considered worthy of his notice.

A mere Fire Sparrow Kingdom... If his cultivation in this life weren’t so low, he wouldn’t have given it a second thought, given the power he wielded in his past life.

Furthermore, he personally held none of the fear that common people had for any royal family.

Only cool indifference.

Seeing Jiang Chen’s arrogance, Wen Shiren was extremely displeased.

But he suppressed his displeasure. He refused to believe that someone recommended by Murong Xiangming would be completely useless.

His faith was in Murong Xiangming.

Not in Jiang Chen.

”So, you’re Jiang Chen.”

”A pleasure.”

Wen Shiren still extended his hand, preparing to make a reluctant acquaintance with Jiang Chen.

He would decide on everything else later. As for whether to truly recruit Jiang Chen, that would depend on his abilities.

Jiang Chen couldn’t be bothered to extend his hand, leaving Wen Shiren’s hand hanging in midair. The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Wen Shiren was flabbergasted. He was the Third Prince, a man of illustrious status! In the entire Fire Sparrow Kingdom, who didn’t bow and scrape before him? And now, Jiang Chen couldn’t even be bothered to shake his hand.

It was an absolute disgrace, a profound humiliation for him as the Third Prince.

A flash of anger crossed his face.

Jiang Chen, however, paid it no mind and said coolly, ”Who are you and what do you want? If you have something to say, say it. If not, I won’t see you out.”

Refusing to grovel just for the Royal Family—that was the sort of unconventional person Jiang Chen was.

Wen Shiren was even more stunned and nearly exploded with rage.

It was a blatant slap in the face.

He, the Third Prince, had come in person, only to be admonished by the other man.

He was angry. Truly furious.

”How dare you! You brat, are you looking to die? You see our Third Prince and still you don’t kneel?”

Before Wen Shiren could even react, the guards behind him exploded in anger.

Jiang Chen was humiliating their Third Prince. They brandished their Magical Treasures and furiously charged forward to fight him.

The one in the lead was also a Martial King Third Heaven expert. Of the other three, one was a Martial King Second Layer Heaven, and two were Martial King First Heaven.

The four of them rushed forward in an instant.

A thought flashed through Jiang Chen’s mind. ’So, this is the Third Prince, Wen Shiren.’

He had a good idea of what was happening. Murong Xiangming had definitely sent him.

However, Jiang Chen also knew that if he wanted to secure a position by the Third Prince’s side, he had to display his strength.

Without the slightest hesitation, he kicked off the ground, his body launching forward in an instant.

His speed was incredible.

WHOOSH!

Jiang Chen met the four Martial King Experts empty-handed.

BANG!

The Martial King Third Heaven guard was the fastest, appearing before Jiang Chen in a flash.

He slashed down viciously with his blade.

Jiang Chen balled his hand into a fist and threw a punch.

BOOM!

His fist, wrapped in dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, smashed against the guard’s blade.

FWOOSH!

The guard’s blade was sent flying by the force of Jiang Chen’s punch.

At the same time, as the guard watched in horror, Jiang Chen’s fist struck his chest like a meteor.

SWOOSH!

The Martial King Third Heaven expert was sent flying by Jiang Chen’s single punch.

But the expert was formidable in his own right. After being knocked away, his body spun a few times in midair before he landed steadily.

However, the ground beneath his feet had already sunk three feet deep.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Three more muffled thuds rang out. The remaining three Martial King Experts were sent flying by Jiang Chen’s punches, cutting extremely sorry figures as they flew.
