Divine War Pill Emperor

”Now, what do you think of my abilities?” Jiang Chen said faintly.

He remained seated, unperturbed.

Wen Shiren’s eyes were filled with utter shock.

The four guards beside him felt a terror that chilled them to the bone.

They cried out internally.

’Black Fire... That’s the legendary Black Fire.’

They knew that if Jiang Chen had unleashed the Black Fire during their earlier fight, they would have been nothing but a pile of ash by now.

Finally, Wen Shiren also exclaimed, ”Black Fire...”

After crying out, he swallowed drily.

The appearance of the Black Fire from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain had caused a massive uproar.

Countless people had tried to seize it.

The commotion had even drawn out the Beast King of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Of course, Wen Shiren also knew that his older brother, Wen Shixuan, had gone for the Black Fire.

He had returned missing an arm and a leg—a truly tragic sight.

It was obvious he had failed in his attempt.

No one knew who had obtained the Black Fire.

Even Wen Shixuan had remained tight-lipped upon his return, refusing to say a word about it.

Wen Shiren had even heard that his second older brother’s Military Advisor, Mr. Gu, had also encountered the Black Fire in Guyue City and returned in defeat.

It had caused both of his older brothers to suffer disastrous losses.

And the cause of it all, of course, was the one who possessed the Black Fire.

Who this person was, there was no way of knowing.

But now, this person sitting before him, possessing the Black Fire... wasn’t he the one who obtained it?

Wen Shiren’s mind reeled.

He couldn’t calm himself for a long time.

”It was you... you defeated my older brother, and you’re the one who got the Black Fire?”

”So it was you.”

His face was full of disbelief.

His mind was in turmoil.

The person who had defeated both his older brothers had appeared, and it was the very man Murong Xiangming had introduced him to.

It was this arrogant fellow right in front of him.

Then, a thought suddenly struck him. He knew about the Black Fire, and he knew this man’s name.

He muttered to himself, ”Jiang Chen... that name sounds so familiar.”

Then he snapped his head up again, his expression one of utter astonishment.

”You’re actually the fiancé of Qin Muxue, the daughter of the Qin Family from Guyue City?”

He recalled that Mr. Gu, his second older brother’s Military Advisor, had gone to Guyue City precisely because of Qin Muxue breaking off her engagement.

The result was the destruction of the Qin Family, with the Qin father and daughter fleeing back in disgrace alongside Mr. Gu.

They had suffered a major setback, to say the least.

The most crucial issue was that Jiang Chen not only possessed the Black Fire but was also Qin Muxue’s former fiancé.

This made things... complicated.

Since Jiang Chen had caused setbacks for both his older brothers, this meant he could only be on Wen Shiren’s side.

Besides, the fact that Jiang Chen possessed the Black Fire was proof enough of his capabilities.

Wasn’t obtaining the Black Fire amidst such chaos, with experts as common as clouds, proof enough?

Wasn’t defeating Mr. Gu proof enough?

At that moment, he was finally convinced. He finally understood just how capable Jiang Chen was.

Taking a deep breath, Wen Shiren hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Jiang Chen.

”Jiang the Military Advisor, I beg you to lend me your strength.”

”I will agree to any conditions you propose.”

His attitude toward Jiang Chen had finally, and completely, changed.

He had become respectful toward Jiang Chen.

In his eyes, Jiang Chen now seemed larger than life.

Jiang Chen knew that once he revealed his Black Fire, Wen Shiren would definitely recognize it.

The effect was clear.

Since the other party’s attitude was so sincere, Jiang Chen nodded.

”Very well. First, prepare the items on my list. Then I will lend you my aid.”

”And help you obtain the position of Sovereign of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.”

Jiang Chen agreed to Wen Shiren’s request.

He didn’t want to make things too difficult for him; after all, they would be cooperating from now on.

Wen Shiren was overjoyed.

He was ecstatic.

Jiang Chen was undoubtedly a man of great and genuine skill.

”I was presumptuous before. Please forgive my transgression.”

Wen Shiren immediately offered some pleasantries to curry favor with Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen waved his hand. ”Give me a few days. I will come find you myself.”

Wen Shiren nodded repeatedly.

”Excellent. I will prepare the materials you require at once, Military Advisor.”

”Whenever you plan to come over, just let me know, and I will send someone to welcome you.”

He knew the deal was done.

He immediately bid farewell to Jiang Chen and left with his guards.

He left to prepare the materials Jiang Chen needed.

Jiang Chen planned to first refine a batch of Blood Corpse Pills and Spirit Feeding Pills. This would quickly raise the Cultivation of his Zombie and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf, providing him with powerful guardians and ensuring his safety.

Then, he would enter the Royal Palace to assist Wen Shiren.

He also needed to prepare a few other things for himself.

To guard against the struggles within the Royal Palace.

Jiang Chen didn’t like fighting, but if others provoked him, he couldn’t just sit by and do nothing.

’I need to refine a batch of Elixirs.’

Immediately, Jiang Chen headed straight for the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

’I want to refine a batch of Third-Grade Thunderbolt Pills.’

The Thunder Pill’s effects were similar to the Blazing Pill Jiang Chen had used before.

However, the Thunder Pill was a Third-Grade Elixir. Even a Martial King Expert could be blown to bits by one if they were careless.

Jiang Chen wanted to refine Thunder Pills for self-defense.

’Refining Thunderbolt Pills requires Thunder Spirit Grass. Thunder Spirit Grass is quite rare; the Treasure Elephant Pavilion is probably the only place that has it.’

He headed straight for the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

This was all urgent.

Jiang Chen soon appeared at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

Just as he was about to head to the second floor of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, he saw a group of people approaching.

The leader was dressed in a long, white brocade robe, with two figures following behind him.

One was a woman, who was rather attractive.

The other was a person clad head to toe in a black robe, their appearance unclear.

Jiang Chen was surprised.

’Enemies truly have a way of crossing paths.’

He shook his head with a wry smile. Of the three, he recognized two.

The woman was none other than his former fiancée, Qin Muxue.

As for the person in the black robe, it was undoubtedly Mr. Gu, whom he also recognized.

The identity of the young man in the lead was obvious.

’Second Prince Wen Shixi.’

’Heh.’

Jiang Chen sneered and stood at the top of the stairs to the second floor, waiting.

Soon, Wen Shixi led Qin Muxue and Mr. Gu straight to the second floor.

As it happened, the three of them ran right into Jiang Chen.

”...”

Jiang Chen crossed his arms, watching Wen Shixi’s group with an interested smile.

Wen Shixi saw Jiang Chen standing at the entrance to the second floor, blocking his path, and snorted coldly.

”Get out of the way! Don’t block this Prince’s path.”

He glared at Jiang Chen, his expression murderous.

’I am the dignified Second Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom. Who dares block my path?’

In the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, most people treated him with the utmost respect.

Jiang Chen looked at Wen Shixi with a half-smile.

Because Wen Shixi didn’t recognize him.

In fact, this was also his first time seeing Wen Shixi. Overall, Wen Shixi was quite handsome.

But he had no intention of moving aside.

Mr. Gu and Qin Muxue’s faces contorted with anger, and they were about to shout at him.

The next moment, both of them trembled violently.

Qin Muxue cried out, stumbling back several steps in an instant.

Pointing at Jiang Chen, she looked as if she had seen a ghost.

”It’s you...”
