Divine War Pill Emperor

WHACK!

Although Cao Yang lasted a little longer on the stage than Da Pao, the result was still the same.

Huo Wu’s Seven Fragrance Whip lashed across Cao Yang’s body, drawing waves of heart-wrenching screams.

His whole body convulsed.

Finally, Huo Wu threw him off the stage.

”So useless. You haven’t improved at all.”

Huo Wu, having taught the two a lesson, still looked unsatisfied.

Her gaze swept across the training ground.

In that instant, a commotion rippled through the entire crowd.

Everyone was terrified Huo Wu would call them onto the stage. That would be the end of them.

Hadn’t they seen that even experts like Da Pao and Cao Yang could only be trampled on?

SWISH!

Jiang Chen felt Huo Wu’s battle-hungry gaze suddenly lock onto him.

His scalp tingled with apprehension.

”Jiang the Military Advisor, how about a match between you and me?”

Huo Wu had finally decided to challenge Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen waved his hands dismissively. ”Forget it. You should find someone else.”

He refused. He really didn’t want to fight Huo Wu. The outcome aside, it would just hurt their relationship.

Despite her fiery personality, Huo Wu was definitely someone who cared a lot about her pride. If she were to lose, Jiang Chen worried she would hold a grudge.

Huo Wu didn’t press Jiang Chen further.

Instead, she called over a few other Martial King Experts and thrashed them on the stage.

Jiang Chen was left speechless at her violent display.

”Lord Huo, Lord Cao, Jiang the Military Advisor, His Highness requests your presence.”

Just as Huo Wu finished pummeling the Martial King Experts, a message arrived from one of Wen Shiren’s guards.

The group immediately left the training grounds and went to the grand discussion hall.

Wen Shiren sat at the head of the hall.

He glanced around at his trusted subordinates.

He began, ”Recently, a large number of bandits have been spotted again in the Nanming Mountain area.”

”The Nanming Mountain region falls under my jurisdiction, so I’ve summoned you all today to discuss how to deal with these mountain bandits.”

”If anyone has suggestions, feel free to speak up.”

After hearing the Third Prince’s words, a series of sharp intakes of breath could be heard.

Cao Yang said, ”Your Highness, the Nanming Mountain bandits are numerous and powerful, with experts as common as clouds. We’ve failed to encircle and suppress them several times. Why not ask the Sovereign to send experts to help us? Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to eliminate them.”

Da Pao also spoke up. ”I think General Cao is right. The Nanming Mountain bandits are extremely vicious. Even if we go all out, it’s hard to even push them back.”

The Third Prince’s expression grew heavy. This was the truth.

The Nanming Mountain bandits were not easy to deal with. He had suffered at their hands more than once.

However, after hearing Cao Yang and Da Pao, the Third Prince shook his head. ”Nanming Mountain is my territory. If I can’t even handle the bandits there, how can I contend for the position of the future Sovereign?”

”If I ask for help with every difficulty I face, wouldn’t that be telling everyone that I’m just a useless waste?”

Da Pao and Cao Yang wore bitter smiles and said no more. After all, with the Third Prince’s current forces, it was indeed very difficult to wipe out the Nanming Mountain bandits.

They might even be defeated by them.

The Third Prince had already been defeated several times before. It could be said that he was currently the laughingstock of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

The Third Prince constantly wanted to redeem himself, but his strength was ultimately limited.

Huo Wu finally stepped forward.

”Your Highness, although the Nanming Mountain bandits are a tough nut to crack, and our encirclement attempts have all ended in failure...”

”...since they dare to cause trouble in Your Highness’s territory, I request to personally lead the troops to Nanming Mountain, encircle the bandits again, and bring back the head of their leader.”

Everyone knew Huo Wu’s temperament. She was a natural-born fighter.

The three hundred li south of Gambling City was all territory patrolled by the Third Prince.

Nanming Mountain was a peak within that three-hundred-li range. A group of bandits had been entrenched there for years, attacking and plundering nearby settlements, committing every evil imaginable. Many people despised them.

Wen Shiren had already attempted to suppress them several times, all ending in failure. The bandits either got wind of the plans beforehand and escaped, or they fiercely counterattacked Wen Shiren’s forces. Thus, with repeated defeats, Wen Shiren had a massive headache.

Recently, the mountain bandits there had grown rampant again.

Wen Shiren nodded. ”In that case, you will lead the team to eradicate the bandits.”

”However, the leader of the Nanming Mountain bandits is a Martial King Fifth Heaven expert, and he has a group of other Martial King Experts under him. Remember to act with caution.”

”Retreat if you are outmatched.”

He was already prepared for another failure.

After Huo Wu accepted the order, she turned to Jiang Chen and said suddenly, ”Your Highness, since Jiang the Military Advisor is a newcomer, why not let him use this opportunity to show his skills? For this mission to eliminate the bandits, I recommend that Jiang the Military Advisor join me. Perhaps with his abilities, we might just be able to completely wipe out that group of bandits this time.”

”I request Your Highness’s permission.”

As she spoke, her phoenix-like eyes glanced at Jiang Chen with a hint of provocation.

Hearing Huo Wu’s words, Da Pao and Cao Yang both shot Jiang Chen strange looks.

Just moments ago, they were getting thrashed by Huo Wu while Jiang Chen watched the show.

Now, it was finally Jiang Chen’s turn to be targeted by her.

None of them spoke, instead watching Jiang Chen with great anticipation.

Wen Shiren looked at Jiang Chen. ”That could work.”

He didn’t refuse Huo Wu’s suggestion. After all, Jiang Chen was a newcomer and truly needed to achieve something to establish himself among the others.

He looked at Jiang Chen and asked, ”Jiang the Military Advisor, what are your thoughts?”

’It’s already come to this. What else can I say?’

He knew this woman, Huo Wu, wouldn’t let him off so easily.

Since she had made the invitation and the Third Prince had also spoken, it would be unreasonable for Jiang Chen to refuse.

He smiled. ”In that case, I will go with General Huo to suppress the bandits.”

The Third Prince nodded. ”Good. I will also accompany you to provide support.”

Afterward, Wen Shiren handpicked his troops, over two thousand men.

They departed from the Royal Palace.

Jiang Chen was also clad in armor.

They arrived at the training ground.

Once everyone was fully equipped, they set out immediately.

This time, the Third Prince, Wen Shiren, personally led the army, riding a black tiger—a Demon Beast with Martial King Cultivation.

Jiang Chen was to his left, riding a single-horned bull Demon Beast that had a Martial Master Cultivation.

Meanwhile, Huo Wu rode a yellow bird Demon Beast, flying at a low altitude.

Behind them, Da Pao and the others each rode their own Demon Beasts.

These were all Demon Beasts raised in captivity by the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, used merely as mounts.

However, the more powerful the Demon Beast, the more difficult it was to raise.

The guards at the rear traveled on foot.

The vast procession departed from Gambling City, heading for the south gate.

The crowds gasped in awe at the sight of such a formation.

”It’s the Third Prince! What a grand procession!”

”Look to his right, the one riding the yellow bird—that must be his top general, General Huo Wu, right?”

”That’s right. That’s Huo Wu. Not only is she the Third Prince’s trusted subordinate, but she’s also one of our Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s female generals. She’s incredible.”

”Huh? Who’s that riding the single-horned bull? He looks so unfamiliar.”

”Don’t know him.”

”To be valued so highly by the Third Prince, he must be someone of no ordinary status.”

In the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, whether it was the Third Prince, the Crown Prince, or the Second Prince, they would all routinely leave the palace to patrol Gambling City.

Therefore, most people recognized the three princes.
