Divine War Pill Emperor

Meanwhile, Mr. Gu was on the run.

Terrified of Fang Yinzi, he didn’t dare appear in Guyue City and fled far beyond its walls.

In a patch of woods.

Mr. Gu’s face was pale.

He gasped heavily for breath.

’The Ghost from the Ghost Temple... I can’t believe I saw such a terrifying existence again.’

’That was close. So close.’

’Good thing I was fast enough to escape.’

Mr. Gu was clearly feeling the relief of having survived a close call.

After stopping in the forest and catching his breath for a moment, he calmly observed the situation back in Guyue City.

He thought to himself, ’That Ghost probably won’t stay for long.’

’No need to rush. I’ll wait for the Ghost to leave, then I’ll go back for the kill.’

’Kid, you’re still going to die by my hand today.’

Beneath his black robe, Mr. Gu’s expression was exceptionally savage.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Mr. Gu saw a ghostly light recede in the distance and disappear from Guyue City.

He was instantly overjoyed.

He hastily sped back into Guyue City.

He appeared amidst the ruins of the City Lord’s Mansion.

At a glance, he saw that only Jiang Chen and the Qin father and daughter remained at the scene.

His expression changed slightly.

But he didn’t hesitate. Instead, he quickly took out a pile of strange items.

He sat down cross-legged and began chanting something under his breath.

’Spirit Manipulation Technique.’

’I’ll use my Spirit Manipulation Technique to communicate with the Ancient Beast Spirit beneath Guyue City and destroy this brat.’

He immediately began to cast the Spirit Manipulation Technique.

Once the Spirit Manipulation Technique was cast, a vast underground space appeared within Mr. Gu’s perception.

Within that underground space...

...an enormous worm lay sleeping.

Its snow-white, ice-like body was awe-inspiringly terrifying.

It was none other than the One-Eyed Snow Worm sleeping beneath Guyue City.

Mr. Gu was ecstatic when he sensed the One-Eyed Snow Worm.

His Spirit Manipulation Technique transformed into tendrils of thought, spreading toward the Snow Worm.

"Who is it?"

The One-Eyed Snow Worm seemed to have sensed something. It awoke with a start, letting out a deep, ethereal sound.

But it didn’t find anything.

It was suspicious and uncertain.

After all, with the Snow Worm’s level of Cultivation, it could perceive even the most subtle abnormalities.

Yet, it found absolutely nothing.

This left it filled with doubt.

The Snow Worm soon fell back into a deep sleep.

Mr. Gu’s Spirit Manipulation Technique did not stop in the slightest.

In fact, Mr. Gu’s entire purpose for this mission was this very One-Eyed Snow Worm.

Wen Shixi had helped Qin Muxue make ample preparations to stop, and even kill, Jiang Chen.

It was just that before, there was the City Lord’s Mansion, not to mention Wen Shixuan and Grand General Ming Zhe.

Mr. Gu thought they could handle Jiang Chen.

But they had miscalculated. Jiang Chen’s final move had nearly wiped them all out.

Fortunately, Mr. Gu saw his chance and fled early.

Otherwise, he would be dead by now.

And now, he could only play his last trump card: controlling the One-Eyed Snow Worm underground to deal with Jiang Chen.

’I didn’t think I’d have to use this. You’ve really surpassed my expectations, you brat. Now, you will feel my true power!’

He roared inwardly.

The Spirit Manipulation Technique silently enveloped the Snow Worm.

Just when the One-Eyed Snow Worm was most vulnerable, Mr. Gu roared again.

"Spirit Manipulation Technique, rise!"

As his words fell, the sleeping One-Eyed Snow Worm’s soul was suddenly ripped from its body.

In that instant, the Snow Worm roared in fury.

"Who is it? Who is seizing this king’s soul?"

It was furious, but it was too late.

Its soul was pulled directly from its body, trapped by a strange power.

"Damn it! It’s this Spirit Manipulation Technique again."

"Humans! Damn you, humans! You’ve come again."

The One-Eyed Snow Worm let out a roar of defiance.

In truth, it had been trapped under Guyue City by someone.

And what trapped it was the Spirit Manipulation Technique.

Now that someone was using the Spirit Manipulation Technique again, it couldn’t resist at all as its soul was seized.

It was being controlled.

"Qin Muxue, you venomous woman, let me rip out your Martial Vein!"

Jiang Chen was about to angrily rip out Qin Muxue’s Martial Vein.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

BOOM!

The entire ground shook violently.

Jiang Chen nearly stumbled and fell.

He looked around in horror.

Soon, his expression changed drastically.

’This is bad. It’s coming from underground.’

He was horrified to discover the tremors were coming from beneath Guyue City.

And the only thing capable of causing such a massive, earthquake-like tremor...

...was, without a doubt, the One-Eyed Snow Worm sleeping beneath Guyue City.

Jiang Chen had personally witnessed the power of that One-Eyed Snow Worm.

He didn’t know who had provoked the One-Eyed Snow Worm now, causing all of Guyue City to shake without end.

RUMBLE...

After the initial quake, waves of tremors continued to roll through.

Throughout Guyue City, buildings collapsed one after another. Countless people ran about in a panic, shouting in alarm.

"What’s happening?"

"Heavens, is the world turning upside down?"

THUD!

No matter how high their Cultivation, Martial Cultivators everywhere stumbled and fell to the ground.

Even the four members of the Warring States Mercenary Corps, who had been about to reunite with Jiang Chen after seeing him out of danger, were caught completely off guard by the sudden, terrifying tremors.

They were thrown to the ground amidst the crowd.

"What in the world is going on?"

Niu Tuo asked in horror, grabbing Zhan Yang’s leg.

"I don’t know! The shaking... it seems to be coming from underground."

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...

The earth continued to tremble without stopping.

Meanwhile, amidst the ruins, Mr. Gu burst into laughter.

"Haha! Success! I’ve captured the Ancient Beast Spirit!"

"Jiang Chen, prepare to die!"

He strode out from the ruins.

He chanted a Spell, controlling the One-Eyed Snow Worm’s spirit and forcing it to surge from beneath the ground as he strode toward Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Gu."

"Ah, it’s Mr. Gu!"

"Father, we’re saved!"

Suddenly, Qin Muxue heard the laughter and was startled.

Looking over, she saw Mr. Gu in his black robe, laughing maniacally as he approached.

She let out a shriek of joyful surprise.

Seeing Mr. Gu was like seeing a savior.

Qin Yun was also stunned.

When Mr. Gu had suddenly disappeared before, he’d thought the man had cowardly fled and had looked down on him for it.

But now, Mr. Gu had returned.

It was simply baffling.

He didn’t know what to say.

But this Mr. Gu was a strange one.

Ever since arriving at the Qin Family with his daughter, he had remained inconspicuous, never showing any great abilities.

His appearance now was even more perplexing.

But seeing his daughter Qin Muxue’s excited expression, it seemed as if Mr. Gu’s arrival brought a glimmer of hope.

He looked at Mr. Gu, who was laughing uncontrollably.

With great strides, he appeared beside Qin Yun and Qin Muxue.

Jiang Chen was stunned into silence.

He had almost forgotten this person even existed.

Now, seeing Mr. Gu, his eyes blazed with fury.

It was obvious: Mr. Gu was the one who had torn out his Martial Vein.

"It was you..."

Jiang Chen’s face darkened as he stared at Mr. Gu.
