Divine War Pill Emperor

"My son is fine for now. He’s just injured and passed out."

After examining Jiang Chen’s condition, Jiang Han let out a huge sigh of relief.

Thankfully, his son’s injuries weren’t too severe.

Although he had a few broken ribs, they could still be set.

It would just take some time.

Otherwise, it was mainly just excessive blood loss.

Hearing this, the clansmen all sighed in relief.

But when they thought of the Ximen Family, they all gritted their teeth in anger.

"All of you, leave us for now."

"And clean up outside."

Jiang Han dismissed the other clansmen.

He, Xiao Yun, and Yiyi looked at the unconscious Jiang Chen.

Xiao Yun said tearfully, "What on earth happened? How could you not look after our son?"

"He’s had such a bitter fate. First, his Martial Vein was dug out, and now he’s nearly been killed by that bastard Ximen Gong."

She complained to her husband.

Jiang Han gave a wry smile.

"I didn’t expect our son to suddenly show up there either."

"It’s alright. He’ll be fine."

"I’ll treat him once he wakes up."

Since Jiang Chen was unconscious, Jiang Han’s methods couldn’t be used. He could only wait for Jiang Chen to wake up before figuring out how to heal him.

For now, the Healing Pills could stabilize his injuries.

"Yiyi, watch over him," Xiao Yun instructed.

Jiang Han and Xiao Yun left the room.

Xiao Yun said angrily, "That Ximen Gong has some nerve, daring to come to our Jiang Family and injure someone."

"We have to get revenge for our son."

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Han’s eyes.

"That’s right. We can’t let this matter rest."

"Our son may have broken all four limbs of Ximen Gong’s son—who might be in even worse shape."

"But the Ximen Family came to our door looking for a fight. We absolutely cannot let this go."

When they arrived at the main hall, Jiang Men had already finished cleaning up.

Seeing Jiang Han approach, he immediately went to report the situation.

"Brother, aside from Ximen Gong who escaped, everyone else from the Ximen Family was annihilated. Not a single one was left."

"Forty-eight men in total."

"We lost one man and had nine injured, but none of the injuries are severe."

Clearly, since the battle was on the Jiang Family’s own territory, they held an absolute advantage, resulting in minimal casualties.

The Ximen Family, on the other hand, suffered disastrous losses.

Jiang Han nodded, seemingly satisfied.

"Have the wounded treated as soon as possible."

"As for the fugitive Ximen Gong, he was also injured. The Ximen Family is sure to be heavily fortified for the time being."

"Keep a close eye on them, but don’t engage the Ximen Family for now."

Jiang Men pondered for a moment before suggesting, "Brother, the Ximen Family is in a sorry state after our attack, especially with Ximen Gong wounded and on the run. Why don’t we press our advantage and charge into their home? We could wipe out the Ximen Family in a single day."

"Then we’ll have one less rival to worry about."

It was a good idea, but Jiang Han rejected it decisively.

"You’re thinking too simply. The Ximen Family’s strength is comparable to our own. Even losing these masters isn’t enough to shake their foundation."

"If we charge in now, both our families will suffer heavy losses, and the Bai Family will be the ones to profit."

"We’ll wait for a better opportunity to strike."

Jiang Han had to consider the bigger picture; the Jiang Family could not afford to suffer any major losses.

Especially with the Bai Family and the City Lord’s Mansion watching their every move.

Any decrease in their strength would only invite their own annihilation.

Hearing this, Jiang Men had a sudden realization.

"Brother, I understand now."

"I’ll have our people keep an eye on the Ximen Family and report any activity immediately."

The conflict between the two families had now escalated. There was bound to be more friction ahead.

Besides, Jiang Han needed to focus on his son’s injuries.

With a soft groan, Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

His whole body still ached, but the pain had lessened considerably.

"Young Master, you’re awake!"

Yiyi ran over, pleasantly surprised, and began to wipe Jiang Chen’s face with a warm cloth. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said to Yiyi, "It’s alright. I’m fine."

Before Jiang Chen could say anything else, Yiyi rushed out to report the news.

Jiang Chen smiled wryly.

He checked his injuries.

’Five broken ribs.’

’No major issues otherwise.’

Jiang Chen’s injuries were originally very severe. An ordinary person wouldn’t have woken up for at least a week or more.

But Jiang Chen had only been unconscious for two days.

This was because his Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique had been operating automatically, even while he was unconscious, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. It was no different than if he had been awake, and it had been constantly helping him recover.

"Son..."

Sure enough, moments later, Xiao Yun and Jiang Han burst into the room.

They both asked after him anxiously.

Jiang Chen offered a faint smile.

"Father, Mother, I’m alright."

Xiao Yun looked at her son, her heart aching for him.

Jiang Han, however, asked in astonishment, "You woke up this quickly?"

He couldn’t believe that his son, with such severe injuries, had woken up in just two days.

Xiao Yun snapped angrily, "What? Did you not want our son to wake up? What are you trying to say?"

Jiang Han was utterly exasperated.

"That’s not what I meant. I was just surprised at how quickly our son recovered."

It was the simple truth.

But his wife had misunderstood him.

He stepped forward and said to Jiang Chen, "Now that you’re awake, let me treat your injuries."

But Jiang Chen refused.

"Father, I can recover on my own."

Jiang Chen knew a type of healing magic called a Spirit Art. This Spirit Art could use the essence of plants to heal injuries and had myriad wondrous uses.

It was better than any Elixir.

Jiang Han was taken aback.

He actually had many questions for Jiang Chen, but seeing his son injured, he refrained from asking.

Xiao Yun also looked at her son with confusion.

"You’re injured. How are you going to heal yourself?"

Jiang Chen grimaced.

"I have my ways."

"Father, Mother, take me to the family garden. Right now."

The couple was completely baffled.

’What on earth is our son up to?’

"Are you sure?"

"You’re injured. You shouldn’t be exposed to the elements."

They really couldn’t understand it. It was one thing for Jiang Chen to want to heal himself, but to ask to be taken to the garden...

It was just too much to accept.

Since Jiang Chen couldn’t easily explain, he simply made up a lie.

"Father, Mother, the truth is, I secretly took a master. He taught me many powerful Cultivation Techniques."

"Trust me."

The couple’s jaws dropped.

"You took a master?"

"How come we didn’t know?"

’Our son feels so mysterious all of a sudden.’

’To think he secretly found a master... But who could it possibly be?’

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn’t want to elaborate, they didn’t press him further.

They immediately carried Jiang Chen to the rear garden.

The Jiang Family’s rear garden was quite large.

It was filled with the songs of birds, the fragrance of flowers, and lush plants.

"Father, Mother, you can go now. I’ll be fine on my own."

"Really."

He lay on a small cot, gesturing for his parents to leave.

He was about to perform his Spirit Art. While he wouldn’t have minded his parents’ presence, there were many things he wasn’t ready to reveal just yet.

’As for the Cultivation Techniques, I can definitely pass those on to my parents later.’

’This Spirit Art is an unparalleled Secret Technique for healing injuries.’

Left with no choice, Xiao Yun and Jiang Han left the garden, glancing back doubtfully every few steps.

Jiang Chen winced as spasms of pain shot through him.

The pain made him think of Ximen Gong, and he gritted his teeth in fury.

’Ximen Family... you can be proud of injuring me this badly. But your good days are numbered.’

His heart was filled with an icy resolve.
