Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen was stunned to see the purple scroll that Wen Shixuan produced.

"A Space Transmission Axis."

He immediately recognized Wen Shixuan’s treasure: a scroll used for long-distance teleportation.

They were typically single-use items.

A scroll like this could instantly transport someone tens of thousands of miles away.

The moment Wen Shixuan produced the Space Transmission Axis, Jiang Chen knew things had taken a turn for the worse.

Sure enough, with a flash of purple light, Wen Shixuan tried to flee.

Fang Yinzi recognized the Space Transmission Axis as well.

He let out a cold snort.

"Get back here."

He abruptly thrust out his hand, grasping at the air.

SWOOSH!

The force of his grasp made the very heavens and earth tremble.

In an instant, his hand plunged through the fabric of space.

THUMP!

A muffled impact was heard.

"Aaaahhh—"

Immediately followed by a blood-curdling scream.

The shriek was utterly wretched and horrifying.

Fang Yinzi slowly withdrew his hand.

When Jiang Chen looked over, he was stunned to see that Fang Yinzi was holding a human leg.

It was clearly Wen Shixuan’s leg.

"My apologies, little friend. He still managed to escape."

"Who would’ve thought that brat would possess something as outrageous as a Space Transmission Axis?"

Fang Yinzi gave a dry laugh.

After all, as a revered master, he had wanted to show off his skills for Jiang Chen. Instead, he had failed to kill Wen Shixuan and let the man escape.

He couldn’t help but lose face, and the expression on his old features was grim.

He casually tossed Wen Shixuan’s leg to Jiang Chen.

"Here. A memento."

A chill ran down Jiang Chen’s spine.

He incinerated Wen Shixuan’s leg with a burst of flame.

The man had escaped, after all. There was nothing more to be done about it.

To avoid the awkwardness, Fang Yinzi coughed.

He said again, "Speak. Who else?"

"I’ll take care of them for you all at once."

He absolutely could not afford to lose face in front of Jiang Chen again.

He added, "And another thing, kid. My time is short."

"I have to return soon."

His summons by Jiang Chen was under a time constraint.

If he didn’t return in time, the divine techniques of his Ghost would dissipate. To die out here would be a tremendous loss for him.

Jiang Chen’s gaze then fell upon the father-daughter pair, Qin Yun and Qin Muxue.

As his eyes landed on them, they both began to tremble violently.

They were utterly terrified.

They had seen the miserable state of Grand General Ming Zhe, witnessed the death of Zhao Bing, and watched Wen Shixuan’s wretched escape.

Now, it was finally their turn.

Qin Yun glanced at his daughter, Qin Muxue. Her face was deathly pale, and her whole body trembled.

Finally, with a sigh, he took a step forward.

He looked at Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, if you must kill someone, kill me."

"Please spare my daughter."

"I know she was in the wrong, but she was just being foolish. She didn’t know any better."

He hoped to exchange his life for Jiang Chen’s forgiveness.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"I am perfectly clear on who is right and who is wrong in this matter."

"She made her mistake, and that’s that."

Jiang Chen looked at Qin Muxue and said coldly, "Qin Muxue, step forward."

"Since you had the guts to do it, you should have the guts to admit it. Let me ask you: were you involved in stealing my Martial Vein all those years ago?"

Qin Muxue bit her lip so hard it bled.

In the end, she nodded.

"Yes."

She admitted it. Now, she had no choice.

Even Mr. Gu had fled.

She now understood just how terrifying the old man at Jiang Chen’s side was.

Mr. Gu had been the first to realize it and had escaped quickly. Now, there was no sign of him.

The circumstances left her no other choice.

She had to submit.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath. Even though he already knew the truth, he had to force her to confess it herself.

"Who did you do it with?"

"Who took my Martial Vein? And who was it given to?"

His every word was a hammer blow, giving Qin Muxue no room to breathe.

This was all an undeniable fact.

In her heart, Qin Muxue hated Jiang Chen to the bone, but at this moment, she could only grit her teeth and say, "Mr. Gu was the one who took your Martial Vein. It was given to Wen Shixi, the Second Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom."

After she finished speaking, Qin Muxue hung her once-proud head low.

She didn’t dare to look at Jiang Chen.

She had admitted to everything.

Jiang Chen smiled.

"Very good. Since you’ve admitted it."

"Then accept your punishment."

"You took my Martial Vein, so I’ll let you feel the pain of having yours taken from you."

At his words, Qin Muxue’s head snapped up.

Her beautiful face was a mask of terror and dread.

Qin Yun’s expression changed drastically.

Hearing that Jiang Chen intended to take his daughter’s Martial Vein, he frantically leaped forward.

"Jiang Chen, I will take the punishment for my daughter’s crimes in her stead!"

With that, Qin Yun immediately fell to his knees before Jiang Chen in front of everyone.

THUD!

He knelt in front of Jiang Chen.

He declared, "Jiang Chen, take my Martial Vein! I will pay my daughter’s debt!"

"Would that be acceptable?"

In that moment, Qin Yun seemed to age decades.

Wrinkles suddenly creased his once-radiant face.

Gray hairs even seemed to sprout at his temples.

He had never imagined things would end this way.

The Qin Family had reached its most helpless hour.

There was no one left who could help the Qin Family. Even the Second Prince, Wen Shixi, whom they had sought to ally with, had been of no use.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but be struck by Qin Yun’s act of parental devotion.

He looked at Qin Muxue.

"Are you willing to let your father atone for your crime?"

He watched her every move, staring intently.

After a moment of hesitation...

Qin Muxue suddenly nodded. "I am."

In that instant, even as her father, a chill went through Qin Yun’s body.

His daughter was truly willing. She showed not a shred of sympathy for him.

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss.

His daughter had completely abandoned him.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

He pointed at Qin Muxue and spat, "You venomous woman! Today, I will cripple you, no matter what."

At this moment, Qin Muxue’s heartlessness and extreme selfishness were on full display.

This hardened Jiang Chen’s resolve to never let her off the hook.

Just then, Fang Yinzi spoke up again. "Jiang Chen, kid, I’m almost out of time."

"To kill or not to kill? Just give the word."

He could feel that he couldn’t stay any longer. If he did, his Ghost would be damaged.

He needed to return.

At this point, Jiang Chen knew that Fang Yinzi had already done everything he needed him to do.

He could handle the remaining score between him and Qin Muxue on his own.

He nodded. "Senior, I can handle things from here."

Fang Yinzi didn’t hesitate and prepared to depart.

But as he turned to leave, he instructed Jiang Chen, "Remember, the time I can appear for is very short."

"Moreover, you can only summon me once a day."

"Alright, enough said. We will meet again. Farewell."

With that, a ghostly light flickered around him, and he transformed into a spectral streak, shooting across the sky.

Soon, Fang Yinzi appeared on the summit of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

The spectral light flashed once more before plunging into the mountain and vanishing into the Ghost Temple.

All that remained were Jiang Chen, the Qin father and daughter, and the crowd of onlookers.

And, of course, Wen Shixuan’s guards, some people from the City Lord’s Mansion, and members of the Qin Family.

They could only look on, not daring to make a single move.
