Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 473 - 471: Assassin

"Thank you!"

Jiang Chen stood up and took his leave from Murong Xiangming.

Murong Xiangming had already helped him gather all the materials needed to refine the Thunder Pill. The efficiency of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion was, of course, beyond question.

After leaving the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, Jiang Chen headed straight back to his manor.

Behind Jiang Chen, several figures trailed him in silence.

"Is that the kid?"

"That’s him. The Second Prince said we must kill this man. Otherwise, we’re not to return."

Among the figures trailing him, the most powerful one had a cultivation at the Martial King Fifth Heaven.

To kill Jiang Chen, Wen Shixi was clearly pulling out all the stops.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen returned to his manor.

His brow furrowed slightly.

With the subtle perception granted by his Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique, he had easily detected the followers behind him.

’I’m being followed again.’

’It must be Wen Shixi’s men.’

He paid them no mind for the moment. Now that he had crossed paths with Wen Shixi, he knew the prince would certainly not let the matter drop.

After all, Wen Shixi had come off worse in their last encounter.

However, Jiang Chen’s heart was heavy.

’The person who blessed Wen Shixi with that protective golden light must have an incredibly profound cultivation, at least approaching the Martial Emperor Realm.’

This was what worried Jiang Chen the most.

His all-out attack had not only failed to break through the Protective Golden Light on Wen Shixi but had even rebounded on him.

It was a clear sign that the one who had cast the Protective Golden Light was immensely powerful.

Therefore, killing Wen Shixi had now become significantly more difficult.

For now, his only option was to use the Third Prince Wen Shiren’s influence to eliminate Wen Shixi.

But being followed now, Jiang Chen had no intention of just sitting back and waiting for his doom.

The moment he was back in the manor, Jiang Chen waved his hand.

Several streaks of silver light flashed and appeared beside him.

They were the Silver-haired Zombies he had subdued in the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.

One of the Silver-haired Zombies had a cultivation at the Martial King Eighth Heaven, while the other two were at the Martial King Seventh Heaven and Martial King Sixth Heaven, respectively.

With this level of power, they could easily establish a firm foothold in Gambling City.

"Go!"

With a wave from Jiang Chen, the three Silver-haired Zombies instantly understood his intent, their figures vanishing swiftly within the manor.

They concealed themselves in secret.

But that wasn’t all. Jiang Chen was still not entirely at ease.

With a flash of golden light, the Golden-haired Zombie King appeared by his side.

Jiang Chen said coolly, "You stand by as well. If the other three can handle it, you don’t need to get involved."

"Yes, Master."

The Golden-haired Zombie King’s figure also flickered before it too concealed itself.

Only then did Jiang Chen casually stroll toward his room.

Outside the manor.

Five figures gathered to confer.

"We’ve found the kid’s residence."

"Report this to the Second Prince, quickly."

One of them immediately sent a message to Second Prince Wen Shixi, informing him of the situation.

Within the Royal Palace, in a luxurious grand hall.

"Second Prince’s Hall."

Clearly, this was the domain of the Second Prince, Wen Shixi.

At this moment, Wen Shixi sat on his chair, his expression dark, his fingers drumming on the armrest.

Beside him was the black-robed Mr. Gu.

WHOOSH!

Just then, a streak of light shot in from outside.

Mr. Gu’s reflexes were sharp; he snatched it out of the air.

He saw that it was a Sound Transmission Jade Talisman.

With a slight frown, Mr. Gu passed the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman directly to Wen Shixi.

"Second Prince, there is news."

The Second Prince immediately took the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman and scanned it with his consciousness.

He found it was a message from his men.

After reading it, Wen Shixi sneered. "Very good. So that’s where the little brat is hiding."

Seeing the change in Wen Shixi’s expression, Mr. Gu asked in a low voice, "Second Prince, is it news of Jiang Chen?"

Wen Shixi nodded slightly. "Correct. We’ve found Jiang Chen’s residence."

"That brat... we have a bitter feud, and he still dares to try and kill me?"

In broad daylight, inside the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, Jiang Chen had tried to kill him but was blocked by his Protective Golden Light, leaving him unharmed.

Even so, the incident had left him in a cold sweat.

If it weren’t for the Protective Golden Light, he would already be dead.

Jiang Chen had genuinely tried to kill him.

His face was as dark as a storm cloud.

"He wants to kill me, so I want to kill him."

"In that case, have our men kill him there tonight."

Mr. Gu nodded but then hesitated. "Second Prince, that kid’s abilities are truly remarkable. I suspect Xiao Xi and the others will have a difficult time killing Jiang Chen."

"Should we send more men?"

To be safe, Mr. Gu believed the men they had already dispatched were not enough to kill Jiang Chen and wanted to send reinforcements.

He was more than a little wary of Jiang Chen.

But Wen Shixi retorted angrily, "He’s just a brat at the Martial King Third Heaven! I sent a Martial King Fifth Heaven expert after him. If they still can’t kill him, what’s the point of keeping those useless fools around?"

So, Wen Shixi decided against sending more men.

He declared loudly, "Tell them to make their move tonight."

The message was quickly relayed to his forces.

Back in his room, Jiang Chen took out his Pill Furnace, summoned his Black Fire, and laid out a pile of materials to one side.

He took a deep breath.

’This time, I’m refining Thunder Pills. Once I succeed, I’ll be able to take the life of even a powerful Martial King Expert.’

An ordinary Martial King Expert stood no chance against a Thunder Pill.

A single Thunder Pill was enough to kill a Martial King.

A Purple Gold Quality Thunder Pill could even pose a threat to Martial Kings at the Seventh and Eighth Heavens.

One could say that anyone below the Martial Ancestor Realm would find it nearly impossible to survive the blast of a Thunder Pill if caught off guard.

He had already purchased all the necessary materials from Murong Xiangming.

Since it was a Third-Grade Elixir, the materials were all quite expensive.

It had cost him over twenty million yuan crystals.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen still had enough yuan crystals for now.

As the Thunder Pill was a Third-Grade Elixir, and Jiang Chen was now capable of successfully refining them, he rarely made mistakes.

As for the people who had followed him, he paid them no attention.

With three Silver-haired Zombies and the Golden-haired Zombie King on guard, Jiang Chen didn’t believe anyone could force their way into the manor.

「That night.」

Outside, five figures emerged from the shadows.

"The Second Prince has spoken. We must succeed, or we’ll be in deep trouble."

They had their orders from the Second Prince: kill Jiang Chen at all costs.

The five men looked at each other.

Their eyes were filled with disdain.

"Killing a mere Martial King Third Heaven brat? It’ll be child’s play."

The strongest among the five was at the Martial King Fifth Heaven.

There were also two at the Martial King Fourth Heaven and two at the Martial King Third Heaven.

With this kind of strength, they didn’t take a mere Martial King Third Heaven like Jiang Chen seriously at all.

The leader, the Martial King Fifth Heaven expert, laughed heartily.

"Alright, none of you need to lift a finger. I alone am more than enough to eliminate that brat."

"Let’s move out."

Immediately, the five of them leaped over the manor wall and into the grounds.

During the day, they had already scouted out the layout and knew where Jiang Chen’s room was.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

All five were Martial King Experts, capable of traversing the air, and they flew straight into the manor.

They headed directly for their target.
