Divine War Pill Emperor

He looked at the middle-aged man before him, who was dressed in a gray robe.

"Mr. Tu!"

Zhan Yang, as captain of the Warring States Mercenary Corps, stepped forward and faced Mr. Tu.

Mr. Tu nodded.

"I know. Mr. Lü has already sent word to me."

"You must be the ones from the Warring States Mercenary Corps, right?"

In truth, he had long since known who Zhan Yang and the others were, but for now, he feigned ignorance.

After all, as a member of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps’ Dark Team, he would certainly know about most Mercenary Teams, and even their specific members.

Zhan Yang nodded.

Then, after confirming Mr. Tu’s identity, Zhan Yang retrieved the black box Mr. Lü had given him from his Qiankun Bag. It naturally contained the Spirit Cloud Pill.

"Mr. Tu, this is the item Mr. Lü wanted you to have."

"I am delivering it to you now."

"Mr. Lü’s seal is still on it. Please inspect it."

He handed the black box over.

Mr. Tu smiled and nodded, showing no flaw in his act.

He took the black box.

With a slight flick of his fingers,

he opened the box.

After opening the box, Mr. Tu laughed and said, "Now that I have the Spirit Cloud Pill, I’ll need to ask an Alchemy Master to take a look, as I don’t know much about elixirs."

"If there are no problems with the elixir, I will accept it."

He immediately turned to a guard beside him and said, "Go and fetch Master Wen."

Soon, an old man hurried over.

It was the so-called Master Wen.

Master Wen asked, "Mr. Tu, why have you summoned me?"

Mr. Tu handed the Spirit Cloud Pill to Master Wen and said, "A very close friend of mine sent this Spirit Cloud Pill to me from Guyue City. I plan to give it to my son."

"Once he takes the Spirit Cloud Pill, my son will be able to smoothly break through to Martial Master Cultivation."

Master Wen nodded. "Alright. I am quite skilled with elixirs, so I’ll take a look for you."

Then, Master Wen took the Spirit Cloud Pill and began to examine it.

But he quickly frowned.

The next moment, he put down the Pill, a strange look in his eyes.

Mr. Tu asked, "Master Wen, how is it?"

It was as if Master Wen had his lines prepared in advance.

He shook his head and said, "I’m afraid to say, Mr. Tu, this Spirit Cloud Pill is a fake."

What?

Mr. Tu instantly put on a stunned expression.

His expression then changed dramatically,

his face growing dark and sullen.

He suddenly looked at Zhan Yang and roared, "This is a Fake Pill!"

"It’s not a real Spirit Cloud Pill."

He glanced at the seemingly flustered Zhan Yang and his team, pointed at them, and said, "You’ve got some nerve, Warring States Mercenary Corps. You actually swapped out the Spirit Cloud Pill."

"You replaced it with a Fake Pill."

Just as expected, the situation had changed.

But Zhan Yang was already mentally prepared.

He spoke up again, "Mr. Tu, please inspect it again carefully. We never touched that Spirit Cloud Pill."

"After all, Mr. Lü’s seal was still intact."

But Mr. Tu just roared, "You scoundrels! It’s clearly a Fake Pill! I noticed just now that there was no seal from Mr. Lü on this box at all!"

"And now Master Wen has inspected it and also says it’s a Fake Pill."

"Did you take the True Pill and replace it with a Fake Pill?"

"Speak!"

He looked furious, his expression changing in an instant.

But Zhan Yang still held his ground.

"Impossible. We never touched the Spirit Cloud Pill. How could it be a Fake Pill?"

"Could it be that it was already a Fake Pill when Mr. Lü gave it to us?"

He wanted to argue a bit more.

But the furious Mr. Tu gave him no chance.

"Damn it! Mr. Lü and I have been friends for years! He had you deliver the Spirit Cloud Pill, and you swapped it for a Fake Pill!"

"And now you’re slandering Mr. Lü’s character."

"You of the Warring States Mercenary Corps are truly shameless!"

JinLing was furious as well. This man was telling a barefaced lie.

"Mr. Tu, if it’s a Fake Pill, that means it was already a Fake Pill when Mr. Lü gave it to us."

"The Warring States Mercenary Corps has always been known for its integrity. You are slandering us!"

She was truly enraged. Now she finally understood that they were being set up.

Mr. Tu sneered.

"Very well. If that’s what you’re going to say, then I’ll report this matter to the Mercenary Castle and let them handle it."

"If the lords of the Mercenary Castle get involved, I’m afraid your Warring States Mercenary Corps will never be able to accept another mission again."

"A Mercenary Team that swaps its client’s goods, of all things."

He spoke so vividly, as if it were all true.

Zhan Yang’s expression turned grim.

He was in the right, but he couldn’t prove it.

If the Mercenary Castle got involved, he still wouldn’t be able to explain himself.

In the end, they would be blacklisted by the Mercenary Castle and never get another mission.

Then they would truly be finished.

"So, what do you want to do?"

He was now curious to see what the other party was truly after.

Sure enough, Mr. Tu chuckled lightly.

"You know as well as I do that if this gets to the Mercenary Castle, you’ll never be able to take on another mission."

"Since that’s the case, I don’t want to blow things out of proportion either."

As he spoke, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

Then he said, "It’s simple. Just compensate me at ten times the value, as stipulated in the contract."

"According to the agreement, you just need to give me two million Essence Crystals, and we can forget this ever happened."

He already knew that Zhan Yang and the others couldn’t possibly produce two million Essence Crystals.

That was why he said it.

As expected, Zhan Yang’s expression changed drastically.

He knew the other party wasn’t really after the Essence Crystals, but he still feigned anger and said, "Two million Essence Crystals? I can’t come up with that."

"Can we find another way?"

"The Warring States Mercenary Corps hasn’t earned that much in commission."

At that moment, Mr. Tu knew his plan was about to succeed.

He said in a low voice, "Without two million Essence Crystals, this will be difficult to resolve."

"If you really can’t, then hand over the treasures you have. As long as they add up to two million, that will be enough."

"How about you take out your treasures and let me pick for myself?"

A strange light glinted in his eyes.

Zhan Yang saw that the man was about to reveal his true intentions.

He shook his head again. "No. Some of the things we carry cannot be shown to outsiders."

"Just tell me straight. What do you want? As the captain of the Warring States Mercenary Corps, if it’s something we have, we’ll give it to you."

Since this was an act, he had to play along.

Zhan Yang decided to go all in.

Mr. Tu feigned a thoughtful expression.

He appeared to be thinking.

Suddenly, he spoke, "How about this. I heard your Warring States Mercenary Corps accepted a two-star mission to pick a Moyang Flower."

"If I’m not mistaken, you must have found the Moyang Flower."

"If you give me the Moyang Flower, I’ll drop the matter of compensation."

Finally, Mr. Tu had revealed his true intentions.

Their Black Demon Mercenary Corps had also accepted a mission for a Moyang Flower.

It was just that the commission for their Moyang Flower mission was extremely high.

That was why they had concocted this scheme to snatch the Moyang Flower from Zhan Yang and his team.

He looked at Zhan Yang, awaiting his response.
