Divine War Pill Emperor

Ximen Gong was overjoyed to see the mysterious, black-cloaked figure on the mountaintop.

He tried to probe the other party, only to find a mysterious aura surrounding them, making it impossible to ascertain their Cultivation.

This shocked him.

’This person is unfathomable.’

Ximen Gong immediately withdrew his Divine Thought, not daring to probe them recklessly again.

If this mysterious person was indeed the expert who possessed the Golden Healing Pill, angering them would be disastrous.

Of course, as a Martial Master Seventh Heaven expert, Ximen Gong was one of the most powerful figures in Hanwu City.

He had few rivals.

However, the world of Martial Cultivators was vast, and many masters lived in obscurity.

He considered that if the mysterious person before him was some terrifying expert, the consequences of offending them would be unthinkable.

He cautiously cupped his hands in a salute toward the mysterious figure.

"Senior, my apologies for disturbing you so late at night."

Ximen Gong was even more deferential since he needed to obtain the Golden Healing Pill from this mysterious person.

As for Master Chen, he was secretly sizing up the mysterious figure.

He was trying to uncover something.

"HMPH!"

Just then, the mysterious figure let out a sudden, angry snort.

It made Master Chen’s heart clench in an instant.

Seeing that Master Chen was still brazenly probing the other party, Ximen Gong grew angry. If this Master Chen were to offend them, it would spell trouble.

He quickly coughed and shot Master Chen a look, signaling him to watch his behavior.

Master Chen had a flash of understanding and hastily adopted a respectful demeanor.

After all, with that obscure aura surrounding the mysterious person, there was no telling what kind of formidable figure they were.

As for Jiang Chen, it was clear that his charade had successfully intimidated them.

He stood against the wind, his hands clasped behind his back.

In a cold, displeased tone, he asked, "You two juniors, what do you have to say for disturbing this old man’s Cultivation in the middle of the night?"

He put on an air of profound mystery, even making his voice sound raspy and ancient.

Ximen Gong had seen him and heard his voice before. If he didn’t disguise himself, being recognized would be a huge hassle.

Naturally, Jiang Chen had made thorough preparations.

Faced with the mysterious person’s questioning,

Ximen Gong and Master Chen became even more respectful.

They knew they were indeed in the presence of an expert.

He called them juniors.

To them, this seemed perfectly natural.

Ximen Gong hesitated for a moment.

Then, he bowed and asked, "Senior, I have heard rumors that a certain master in these mountains possesses a Golden Healing Pill. Might that be you?"

He asked with anticipation.

He peeked at the figure, but with them under a cloak, he couldn’t see their face, let alone their expression.

He could only judge their mood by the tone of their voice.

It was obvious the mysterious person was very unhappy about having their Cultivation disturbed.

So he decided to state his purpose directly.

If this was the mysterious person from the rumors, all the better.

If not, they could leave and resume their search.

However, Ximen Gong was quite certain that the mysterious expert was indeed the cloaked old man before him.

He looked at the cloaked old man with expectant eyes.

"Damn it! Who leaked the news that this old man has a Golden Healing Pill?"

"Utterly outrageous! It must have been those disciples and grand-disciples of mine! Damn them all, I’ll shut their mouths for good sooner or later."

After hearing Ximen Gong’s words, the cloaked old man let out a furious roar.

He seemed extremely displeased with whoever had leaked the information.

This displeasure immediately turned into fiery rage.

The cloaked old man turned his head, appearing furious. From under the cloak, his eyes, like those of a Fierce Beast, stared at Ximen Gong.

"Junior, who told you this?"

"Speak up."

He was still seething, looking as if he was truly about to hunt down the source of the leak and settle the score.

The situation left Ximen Gong aghast.

He was terrified of being misunderstood.

He hastily began to explain respectfully, especially seeing how volatile this mysterious person’s temper was.

"Senior, I overheard this information from a conversation on the road."

"Please, Senior, calm your anger. I swear that what this junior says is the truth."

Not daring to provoke the man, he carefully sidestepped any responsibility.

Besides, he was now one hundred percent certain that this person did indeed have a Golden Healing Pill.

This was the hope for saving his son.

At a time like this, he couldn’t afford to be careless.

He spoke with extreme caution, afraid of making a mistake.

The mysterious person was clearly still fuming.

He stood against the breeze, silent for a long time.

Finally, he said suddenly, "Fine, fine. I’ll find a chance to deal with those worthless disciples and grand-disciples of mine."

Having said that, he abruptly turned to Ximen Gong and Master Chen.

He asked coolly, "Why have you two come here?"

"If you have no business here, you’d be wise to leave on your own. Otherwise, if this old man gets angry, you might just lose your heads."

He began to threaten them.

His act was completely convincing.

Jiang Chen knew that the more he acted this way, the more they would trust him.

It was a simple trick, one that Jiang Chen could pull off effortlessly.

He didn’t even have to try hard to make the act look real.

Faced with the mysterious person’s explosive temper,

Ximen Gong was terrified.

He once again cupped his hands in Jiang Chen’s direction.

In a pleading tone, he said, "Senior, this junior is the Patriarch of the Ximen Family in Hanwu City. My son recently had his limbs broken and is now paralyzed in bed."

"Since you have a Golden Healing Pill, Senior, this junior wishes to beg for one to heal my pitiful son."

"Senior, I know this is presumptuous, but this junior is willing to purchase it with yuan crystals."

He made his son sound utterly pathetic.

His attitude was sincere, hoping to move the other party.

Under his cloak, Jiang Chen sneered inwardly.

’Pitiful son? Since your son is so pitiful, I’ll just send him on his way.’

But he knew he couldn’t let Ximen Gong get the Golden Healing Pill so easily.

If it were too easy, it would arouse suspicion.

So he waved his hand and said dismissively, "Are you kidding me? What does your son’s pitiful state have to do with me?"

"Do you not know the value of a Golden Healing Pill?"

"The Golden Healing Pill is a Holy Medicine for healing. Even for this old man, obtaining a single Pill cost me dearly."

"How could I possibly give it to you?"

"Enough. Go down the mountain. This old man must continue his Cultivation."

Ximen Gong was stunned.

He’d been rejected just like that.

He was filled with helplessness.

At this moment, Master Chen suddenly spoke up.

"Senior, saving a life is the noblest of deeds. We implore you, Senior. We are willing to purchase your Golden Healing Pill at a high price."

He meant well, trying to speak up for Ximen Gong.

But the mysterious person snapped back.

"Shut up! Who are you? Did this old man give you permission to speak?"

"Get out! Both of you, get out now!"

"If you think this old man is easy to talk to, you’re mistaken."

"For this old man, crushing you is no different from crushing two ants."

Jiang Chen feigned a furious rage, pointing at the two and shouting.

His voice was full of vigor.

It frightened Ximen Gong and Master Chen, leaving them deeply unsettled.

They were terrified.

’This mysterious person really is difficult to deal with.’

But how could Ximen Gong give up so easily?
