Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 472 - 470: The Forceful Young Lady

BOOM!

Jue Wu, a Martial King at the Seventh Heaven, was sent flying by a single palm strike from Murong Xiangming, smashing into the ground.

He cut a pathetic figure as he fell.

"Miss Murong, you..."

Wen Shixi was stunned. Murong Xiangming had actually struck his man. His eyes widened in disbelief.

After all, as the Eldest Miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, it stood to reason that even if she offended Jiang Chen, she wouldn’t dare to offend someone from their Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

But the scene before him made it clear: Murong Xiangming would rather offend them than Jiang Chen.

The tables had turned.

Moreover, this was the Treasure Elephant Pavilion. The Pavilion had plenty of experts, though they rarely showed themselves.

If they truly provoked the Treasure Elephant Pavilion and its experts appeared, the consequences would be terrifying.

Even their Fire Sparrow Kingdom didn’t dare to provoke the Treasure Elephant Pavilion lightly.

In fact, Wen Shixi’s very purpose for coming here was to win over the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

Now, he found the situation was changing right before his eyes.

Meanwhile, Jue Wu climbed up from the ground, his chest still trembling uncontrollably.

His face was pale.

He spoke with a hint of malice, "Miss Murong, it’s only been a few days, but your cultivation has advanced. Truly impressive."

He was seething with anger but could only accept it.

Here in the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, with Murong Xiangming herself making a move, he was utterly helpless.

After all, the Treasure Elephant Pavilion had its own rules.

What truly astonished him, however, was that Murong Xiangming’s cultivation had skyrocketed in such a short time, reaching the Martial King Eighth Layer Heaven—a level even higher than his own.

Before, Murong Xiangming had only been at the Martial King Fourth Heaven.

"Hmph!"

Murong Xiangming remained completely unmoved.

Her tone was icy as she said, "Fighting is forbidden in our Treasure Elephant Pavilion. That is the rule. Anyone who dares break it will not be let off lightly by us."

She was warning Wen Shixi and his group.

Although Jiang Chen had struck first, Murong Xiangming simply pretended not to see it.

She was determined to help Jiang Chen.

Murong Xiangming’s appearance also intimidated Qin Muxue. How could her status possibly compare to that of the Eldest Miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion?

She stood obediently, not daring to say a single word.

Wen Shixi felt as if he had been viciously slapped in the face.

He said angrily, "Miss Murong, that guy was the one who started it."

He pointed at Jiang Chen, wanting Murong Xiangming to punish him.

Murong Xiangming said flatly, "I only saw you people make a move first."

’So what if Jiang Chen started it? I’ll side with him regardless.’ And in truth, when she had arrived, she did see Wen Shixi’s men attacking first. She completely ignored his complaint.

Wen Shixi was left speechless with rage.

Overwhelmed with frustration, he shot a fierce glare at Jiang Chen.

Suddenly, he put on a magnanimous smile. "Ah, well, if that’s the case, let’s just drop the matter. You’ve already taught my man a lesson, after all."

"I won’t pursue any more trouble with that kid."

"For what happened here, please accept my apologies."

He wanted to ask Murong Xiangming for help, so he naturally couldn’t afford to provoke her now.

Besides, he was quite infatuated with her.

Despite his words, he had no intention of letting Jiang Chen off the hook.

"Fine. Since you’ve said so, Second Prince, I hope this won’t happen again."

"If there’s nothing else, please leave. I won’t see you out!"

Murong Xiangming completely disregarded Wen Shixi’s friendly gesture and directly told him to leave.

Brazenly, Wen Shixi quickly said, "No, wait, Miss Murong. I have something to discuss with you. Could I trouble you for a bit of your precious time?"

"Do me the honor."

Murong Xiangming replied with extreme coldness, "I’m busy. We can talk some other time."

"Someone, show our guests out."

Wen Shixi was absolutely livid.

Not only had he been reprimanded by Murong Xiangming, but he was also being kicked out.

He felt like he’d had eight lifetimes of bad luck.

He was incredibly reluctant to leave, but there was nothing he could do. He had angered the Eldest Miss Murong, and now she refused to see him.

He shot a hateful glance at Jiang Chen.

He found, however, that Jiang Chen’s gaze was just as cold, like that of a bloodthirsty demon.

That look in his eyes promised murder.

"Fine, Miss Murong. Since you’re busy, please go ahead. I’ll look around your pavilion a bit more. If I find any treasures, I’m prepared to buy them."

Since he couldn’t get a chance to speak with Murong Xiangming, he planned to make some extravagant purchases here, hoping it might win her favor.

But Murong Xiangming paid him no attention at all.

Instead, right in front of Wen Shixi and the others, she suddenly turned to Jiang Chen and said, "Young Master Jiang Chen, please come upstairs with me. We need to talk."

This was the same woman who had been so cold and domineering just moments before.

Yet now, toward Jiang Chen, she was acting like a shy young maiden.

Her attitude was exceptionally warm.

Seeing this, Wen Shixi immediately felt the urge to vomit blood.

He couldn’t fathom why Murong Xiangming was so friendly to Jiang Chen, yet so hostile to him.

Jiang Chen knew he couldn’t kill Wen Shixi for the time being.

He immediately followed Murong Xiangming upstairs.

Moreover, he and Murong Xiangming walked side-by-side, talking and laughing. The sight made Wen Shixi feel like he could cough up blood as his composure shattered.

"Damn it, how could this be?"

"How does this brat even know Miss Murong?"

He, the Second Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, couldn’t even get such treatment from Murong Xiangming.

It wasn’t just him; even Qin Muxue was now a little envious of Jiang Chen.

Anyone who could be received so warmly by Murong Xiangming was no simple character.

Of course, they didn’t think Jiang Chen was particularly powerful. They were all well aware that he was just a minor figure from a small family in Hanwu City.

But it was precisely this stark difference in treatment that felt so incredibly unfair.

"Keep an eye on that brat for me."

"I want him dead, no matter what."

Wen Shixi stared at Jiang Chen’s back, gritting his teeth.

Before, he hadn’t paid Jiang Chen any mind.

But the Jiang Chen of today was now a sufficient threat to his life.

He had no choice but to prepare to kill Jiang Chen.

Mr. Gu walked over, casting a wary glance at Jiang Chen.

He said to Wen Shixi, "Second Prince, be careful of that kid. There’s something very strange about him. We must be on our guard."

He had personally clashed with Jiang Chen before and knew how formidable he was.

Wen Shixi’s killing intent surged even more fiercely in his heart.

The more powerful Jiang Chen was, the greater the threat he posed.

"Mr. Gu, since he’s come to Gambling City, let’s make sure he never leaves. The moment he steps out, have someone kill him."

Mr. Gu nodded. "We can try."

"But this kid knows Murong Xiangming. That might make things difficult."

Wen Shixi snorted. "Inside the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, we can’t touch him. But once he’s outside, he’s no longer under Murong Xiangming’s protection."

With that, they immediately began to plot against Jiang Chen.

Meanwhile, on the fourth floor, in a luxurious reception room.

Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming sat facing each other.

"Thank you for your help just now."

Jiang Chen knew that if it weren’t for Murong Xiangming, he would have had to reveal his secret about the Zombies.

He felt a measure of gratitude toward her.

From what he’d seen, Murong Xiangming was clearly on his side.

"There’s no need for such formalities between us."

"You’ve met Wen Shixi now. You should understand that you can’t kill him with your own strength alone."
