Divine War Pill Emperor

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words of caution, Master Tian Mu looked toward Murong Xiangming.

They wouldn’t have resorted to violence if not for their wounded pride.

Besides, Qin Lie was already dead, so their revenge could be considered complete.

With the main culprit dead, it was pointless to keep fighting the Alchemist Guild.

Murong Xiangming fell silent for a moment. She looked at Jiang Chen, then suddenly nodded. "Jiang Chen, since you’re the one asking, we’ll let this matter go."

She was doing it out of respect for Jiang Chen.

If someone else had asked her to stop, she might not have listened.

But Jiang Chen was different. He was the one who had cured her of the poison.

She owed him a debt of gratitude.

"If that’s what our young miss says, then I have no objection."

Master Tian Mu chimed in at the perfect moment, showing Jiang Chen considerable respect.

Jiang Chen was pleased.

The casualties suffered by the Alchemist Guild were a great loss.

After all, the ones who died were innocent people caught in the crossfire. He truly didn’t want to see such an outcome.

"Hmph!"

Master Qin suddenly snorted.

He stepped forward and looked at Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, who the hell do you think you are?"

"You think you can just say ’stop’ and it’s over?"

Master Qin was absolutely livid.

His son was the one who died! And he was the President of the Alchemist Guild! Was Jiang Chen just going to play the peacemaker and that would be the end of it?

It was over just like that?

His son’s death hadn’t even been avenged.

Master Qin absolutely refused to accept it.

Jiang Chen looked at Master Qin.

He said coolly, "Master Qin, your son used a despicable method like poison on Miss Murong to ruin her virtue."

"He died today, and he got what he deserved."

"Besides, you share the blame for your son’s death. If you hadn’t spoiled and enabled him, would he ever have committed such a grievous error?"

"Don’t you bear any responsibility yourself?"

As Jiang Chen spoke, many from the Alchemist Guild began to understand what had happened. Qin Lie had poisoned Murong Xiangming, intending to control her with some dark art and then force her to marry him.

And now, Murong Xiangming had come for revenge.

One by one, they began to cast blaming glances toward Master Qin.

They weren’t part of Master Qin’s faction, so they wanted no part in this affair.

If the honor of the Alchemist Guild were at stake, they would certainly have stepped forward.

Many of them began to back away.

Of course, a few who belonged to Master Qin’s faction held their ground.

Master Qin’s face twisted into a snarl as he stared at Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, do you really think you’re somebody now?"

"If it weren’t for your master, you’d be nothing but a piece of dog shit."

In his fury, Master Qin resorted to outright insults.

He gave Jiang Chen a look of utter contempt.

Jiang Chen, however, smiled and shook his head.

"Whether I’m a piece of dog shit or not is unimportant."

"What’s important is that in my eyes, you’re even lower than dog shit."

"You are the President only because I recognize you as such. If I don’t, you are nothing."

’In his past life, he had single-handedly established the very foundations of the Alchemist Guild.’

’Seeing someone like Master Qin in charge filled him with dissatisfaction. A man like that was completely unfit to be the President of the Alchemist Guild.’

’Jiang Chen had been displeased for a long time.’

The atmosphere instantly grew tense.

Master Qin was also seething.

To think Jiang Chen would dare to insult him in return.

Suddenly, Master Qin thought of something.

Murong Xiangming’s complete recovery could only mean one thing: the Heart-Tugging Powder had been neutralized.

When he considered who in all of Hanwu City could possibly neutralize the Heart-Tugging Powder, only one name came to Master Qin’s mind: Jiang Chen.

His eyes turned icy as he stared at Jiang Chen and demanded, "Was it you who cured Murong Xiangming’s poison?"

Without denying it, Jiang Chen nodded. "That’s right. A trivial poison like Heart-Tugging Powder is hardly a challenge for me."

"What’s the matter? Furious because your little father-son conspiracy failed?"

Master Qin was so angry he could have spat blood.

’So it really was Jiang Chen.’

He finally realized that Jiang Chen was like a giant rat, meddling in everything.

He’d caused chaos in the Alchemist Guild, and now he’d destroyed his and his son’s plan.

At this moment, Master Qin finally exploded with rage.

"Jiang Chen, you’re courting death."

"Today, I will eliminate you along with them."

"You... all of you... will die."

He pointed at Jiang Chen, then at Murong Xiangming and the others from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

He looked completely unhinged.

"If you want to kill me, let’s see if you have what it takes."

"If you want a war, then you’ll get one."

Jiang Chen saw this and shook his head slightly.

He didn’t care that Master Qin had been provoked.

His gaze swept over the Alchemists and guards from the Alchemist Guild standing beside Master Qin.

Now that all pretenses were gone, Jiang Chen’s eyes turned cold. He suddenly announced, "Everyone, the grave error committed by Master Qin and his son has nothing to do with any of you. I hope you will not involve yourselves in this matter."

"I advise you to be wise and stay out of it."

"Today, Master Qin will die. There is no doubt. So, if you choose to act, think carefully."

"And to the members of the Alchemist Guild, do not forget who you are. You represent the Guild. You should fight for the honor of the Alchemist Guild, not for the personal vendetta of Master Qin and his son."

"You are not, and will never be, lackeys of the Qin Family."

"All who are not involved, step back now."

At Jiang Chen’s words, the Alchemists and guards of the Alchemist Guild, who had been hesitant, all realized this was merely a personal grudge that had nothing to do with them.

They immediately backed away, wanting no part in the conflict.

In an instant, very few people remained by Master Qin’s side.

Those who remained were all die-hard loyalists Master Qin had personally cultivated.

Master Qin saw that Jiang Chen had made the members of the Alchemist Guild retreat with just a few words.

He nearly died from rage.

He had been counting on the Alchemist Guild’s power to get him through this crisis. After all, the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s two Martial King Experts were not to be trifled with.

And now, it seemed Jiang Chen had also taken a stand against him.

This meant he now had to face both Jiang Chen and the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

’What’s more, Jiang Chen himself is no weaker than a Martial King Expert. That uncanny skill with poisons is simply transcendent; even I am wary of it.’

’Jiang Chen had originally stepped forward to stop the battle, but now he had drawn the conflict directly onto himself.’

Murong Xiangming declared loudly, "Jiang Chen, don’t worry! I will fight alongside you to kill this man."

She shot forward, instantly appearing at Jiang Chen’s side to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him.

Jiang Chen glanced at Murong Xiangming. ’He really wanted to ask her why she possessed the Orchid Fairy’s Blood Butterfly Eighteen Transformations.’

’But in the end, he held his tongue.’

He just nodded.

"Alright."

Master Tian Mu also gave a great wave of his hand.

"The Treasure Elephant Pavilion is willing to fight alongside you to slay this monster!"

"WHOOSH!"

The members of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion followed Master Tian Mu, appearing at Murong Xiangming’s side.

Behind them were hundreds of experts from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

They all stood together, facing off against Master Qin and his men.

Every one of them had eyes blazing with the will to fight.

Master Qin looked back and saw that there were not many experts left by his side.

The other members of the Alchemist Guild had all chosen self-preservation and refused to fight with him.

His eyes spat fire.

He thought viciously, ’Once I’m done with these people, I’ll make every one of you pay.’

Then, he gave a great wave of his hand.

"Kill!"
