Divine War Pill Emperor

When Jiang Han heard that City Lord Wen Quan didn’t intend to continue the fight, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn’t want to clash with the City Lord’s Mansion.

In the end, without even asking his son, Jiang Chen, he nodded in agreement.

"Alright. We will each stand down."

After speaking, he conferred with Elder Qi and immediately led the Jiang Family in retreat.

Soon, Jiang Han was at Jiang Chen’s side.

"Chen’er, let it go. There’s no point in us fighting the City Lord’s Mansion. It will only lead to more casualties."

What else could Jiang Chen say? He nodded helplessly.

However, as he looked at Wen Bufan at that moment, his eyes flickered incessantly.

He was brewing a terrible plot.

’Perhaps Wen Quan is the real big fish.’

’But it should be soon.’

His gaze was unsettling.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, Wen Quan suddenly noticed someone watching him. A Martial Cultivator’s perception is exceptionally sharp.

He pinpointed the gaze as coming from Jiang Chen.

’That kid... why is he looking at me like that?’

’That look in his eyes... it’s like he’s looking at prey.’

Wen Quan’s expression darkened slightly.

He quickly dismissed Jiang Chen. After all, Jiang Chen was a mere Martial Cultivator at the Warrior Seventh Heaven.

He, on the other hand, was a Peak Martial Master Ninth Layer, on the verge of breaking through to Martial King Cultivation.

The gap between them was immense.

He snorted under his breath.

Seeing the Jiang Family gradually withdraw, he said to the men of the City Lord’s Mansion, "Follow me. We’re returning to the City Lord’s Mansion."

"Father, are we just letting them go like this?"

Wen Bufan’s face was still pale, but he was furious at the thought of letting the Jiang Family go.

Wen Quan waved his hand dismissively.

"Enough. We’ll talk when we get back."

He was absolutely furious. How dare the Jiang Family beat his son into such a state.

He was injured even while holding the Fire Sparrow Order.

And to top it off, even the Martial King Puppet had been nearly destroyed by the Jiang Family.

「Back at the City Lord’s Mansion.」

Wen Quan sent men to repair the Martial King Puppet.

He looked at his son, Wen Bufan.

His eyes filled with concern.

"You had the Fire Sparrow Order. How did you still end up this injured?"

"First, give me the Fire Sparrow Order," he asked, confused.

As Wen Bufan recounted the events, his face was a mask of grievance.

"Father... the Fire Sparrow Order... it’s destroyed. Jiang Chen destroyed it."

What?

Wen Quan nearly leaped to his feet.

The Fire Sparrow Order was destroyed. Destroyed.

That was a symbol of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s supreme authority, and it had been destroyed.

He nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"What happened?"

he demanded.

Wen Bufan recounted the entire incident.

He added furiously, "Jiang Chen completely defied the Fire Sparrow Order’s command."

"Somehow, he summoned the will of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast and even destroyed our Guardian Fire Sparrow."

"Finally, he shattered the Fire Sparrow Seal itself."

Wen Quan’s rage grew with every word.

He shot up from his seat.

"Damnation! Damnation! The Fire Sparrow Order was destroyed?"

"This is a disgrace! A monumental disgrace!"

He was about to explode with rage. The Fire Sparrow Order represented the Fire Sparrow Kingdom itself! Each city only had one, and now it had been destroyed on his watch.

The mere thought was infuriating, and a fire of rage blazed in his chest.

"The Jiang Family... they’ve gone too far!"

Wen Bufan suggested, "Father, with the strength of our City Lord’s Mansion, we wouldn’t necessarily lose a fight against the Jiang Family."

"Now that the Fire Sparrow Order is destroyed, we cannot let this rest. This won’t end until one of us is dead."

He was desperate for revenge.

He wanted his father to avenge him.

To wash away this shame.

Wen Quan gritted his teeth. If he had known the Fire Sparrow Order was destroyed, he never would have agreed to a truce. He would have charged in to kill them all.

Just then, the butler, Wu Feng, who had been standing silently beside him, spoke up.

"City Lord, this matter is of grave importance. Since the Fire Sparrow Order has been destroyed, we should inform the Fire Sparrow Kingdom and let them decide how to proceed."

"The Jiang Family deserves death. If the Fire Sparrow Kingdom learns the Order has been destroyed, they will surely send experts to kill them and annihilate the Jiang Family."

As the butler of the City Lord’s Mansion, Wu Feng’s Cultivation was also at the Martial King Realm. Though he had yet to reach the Martial King First Heaven, he was still a formidable fighter.

Including the Martial King Puppet, the mansion possessed two Martial King-level Experts.

As the butler, Wu Feng wielded immense authority.

His words also carried enough weight to command City Lord Wen Quan’s attention.

BANG!

Wen Quan slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair.

He roared, "Damn the Jiang Family! There’s no need to report this to the Fire Sparrow Kingdom."

"This time, I will personally annihilate the Jiang Family!"

But Wu Feng spoke again, "City Lord, given the current strength of our two families, the Jiang Family is not much weaker than us."

"Therefore, if we fight to the death, we will both suffer devastating losses. The outcome would be uncertain at best."

Assessing the overall situation, the Jiang Family’s current strength was no less than that of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Thus, after his analysis, Wu Feng stated his opinion.

Killing intent still filled Wen Quan’s eyes.

It hadn’t diminished in the slightest.

Clearly, the destruction of the Fire Sparrow Order had affected him deeply. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"The Jiang Family of today has indeed grown to a frightening extent."

"However, I have my own way to destroy them."

"Once I’ve annihilated the Jiang Family, I’ll take their heads to the Fire Sparrow Kingdom myself."

As he spoke, a fierce light erupted in his eyes, as if he had made a momentous decision.

At that moment, Wu Feng was startled.

He asked, horrified, "City Lord, surely you don’t intend to use that Secret Technique?"

He knew that with their current strength alone, it was impossible to defeat the Jiang Family.

Yet the City Lord seemed completely confident.

This brought to Wu Feng’s mind a certain Secret Technique that Wen Quan had mentioned to him before.

Wen Quan possessed a Secret Technique that could allow one’s Cultivation to leap several Realms in a very short time.

Wen Quan nodded. "That’s right. This time, the Jiang Family is doomed."

"They deserve to die," he said through gritted teeth.

His eyes blazed with fury.

Wu Feng hurriedly tried to dissuade him. "City Lord, you mustn’t! After using the Secret Technique, your Cultivation will be forever stuck at the Martial King Realm, unable to advance another step!"

"We can request experts from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom to come."

He knew that Wen Quan’s Secret Technique came with severe side effects.

Although it could allow him to cross several Realms, his Cultivation would never be able to break through beyond the Martial King Realm afterward.

That was why he was trying to stop Wen Quan.

But the enraged Wen Quan was already past caring.

"They injured my son and destroyed the Fire Sparrow Order. I cannot wait any longer! I must personally take my revenge!"

Seeing that Wu Feng was about to say more, Wen Quan waved his hand. "Enough. Don’t say any more. My mind is made up."

"Give me one night. Tomorrow, we will charge into the Jiang Family’s estate once more."

"We will wash the Jiang Family in blood."

With that, Wen Quan turned and strode away, heading straight for his secret chamber.

He was going to use the Secret Technique to raise his Cultivation.

’The Jiang Family has pushed me too far! That boy, Jiang Chen... just watch, I’ll crush you with my own two hands!’

He hadn’t been this furious even when his son was injured, but the destruction of the Fire Sparrow Order had sent him into a complete rage.

After all, the Fire Sparrow Order represented the supreme authority of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom; its loss could even affect his own status.

Now that it was destroyed, his position within the Fire Sparrow Kingdom was likely forfeit.

And his Secret Technique was enough to elevate his Cultivation to the Martial King Realm.

In fact, if all went well, reaching the Martial King Fifth Heaven wouldn’t be a problem.

At that point, when he charged into the Jiang Family estate, even with their two Martial King Experts, they would be easily slain.
