Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

He didn’t speak for a moment. He had indeed acted quickly; otherwise, he would have been trapped in the Royal Palace.

With the Third Prince hiding in the Guardian Hall, Jiang Chen’s only option had been to escape.

He had to lay low for a while.

After a long moment of contemplation, Jiang Chen finally said, "In that case, everyone is to stay within the manor. Don’t go outside."

For now, staying in the manor was their only chance of not being caught.

Although, the manor didn’t seem entirely safe either.

Jiang Chen was in a bind. He needed to figure out how to fight the experts of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

Huo Wu thought for a moment before finally speaking up, "Jiang the Military Advisor, even though we’re hiding in the manor and can evade them for a while, if the Kingdom Guards search relentlessly, they will eventually find us."

"So, in the end, we won’t escape capture."

She didn’t mention the consequences of being caught. Everyone knew what it would be: death.

They would be executed, without a doubt.

Cao Yang, Da Pao, and the others all looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen waved his hand dismissively. "I know all of this. For now, we’ll take it one day at a time."

"I need to come up with a way to deal with the Kingdom’s guards."

But Huo Wu wasn’t finished. She continued with a serious expression, "This is just a stopgap measure. You have to understand, the Kingdom is teeming with experts. This time, the Third Prince violated a royal edict. If the order is given, National Preceptor Yuan Hui will personally take action."

"Master Yuan Hui is an expert at the Peak of Martial Arts Nine Heavens. No matter how strong you are, you can’t stop him."

Though it was the truth, Jiang Chen couldn’t just sit back and wait for death.

He said coolly, "Enough. Don’t say any more. I have my own way."

"You all keep watch. The moment the Kingdom Guards appear at the manor, tell me immediately. I will protect you."

"Capturing someone from under my nose? Impossible."

Jiang Chen wasn’t without a plan. He guessed Fang Yinzi was probably itching for a fight. When the time was right, he could call on Fang Yinzi, and with that power, he could even seize the entire Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

For now, he was waiting to see the Third Prince’s fate.

If the Third Prince could survive this crisis, he might be able to defy heaven and change his destiny, escaping his short-lived fate.

Huo Wu and the others had no choice but to listen to Jiang Chen.

Although they suspected Jiang Chen was just bluffing and couldn’t possibly protect them.

For the time being, a tense silence fell over the manor.

Huo Wu and the others scouted the surroundings. Jiang Chen even specifically had the Golden-haired Zombie King with its Martial Arts Cultivation emerge to stand guard in the dark corners of the manor.

After making these arrangements, Jiang Chen temporarily returned to his quarters.

With a flash, his body abruptly vanished.

「Dragon-locking Realm」

Both the Green-haired Zombies and the Silver-haired Zombies were evolving.

Thanks to the Blood Corpse Pills refined by Jiang Chen, more than ten Green-haired Zombies had already evolved into Silver-haired Zombies.

The Silver-haired Zombies were all rapidly breaking through.

The strongest Silver-haired Zombie was even starting to grow golden hair, showing signs of breaking through to the Martial Arts level.

The Black King Rat and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf were both using Profound Origin Stones to absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi for their cultivation.

Jiang Chen paid them no mind, instead appearing in a quiet, subterranean space.

SWOOSH!

A dark shadow flashed, and Jiang Chen landed on the ground. He looked up ahead, where a black crow lay on a stone platform.

It was the Black Fire Crow.

Just as Jiang Chen appeared, the Black Fire Crow’s body suddenly trembled.

Then, it slowly opened its eyes.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen, the Black Fire Crow was about to flare up in anger instinctively, but in the next moment, its entire body shivered.

It stared at Jiang Chen, somewhat horrified.

"You... How could you?"

"Did you force this king to acknowledge you as master?"

The Black Fire Crow leaped up from the stone platform, its black feathers trembling, and stared at Jiang Chen in a panic.

The newly awakened Black Fire Crow was, to put it mildly, completely dumbfounded.

It had been forced to acknowledge a master.

But thinking back, it had been stomped flat by the One-Eyed Snow Worm and knocked unconscious. It had thought it was dead.

But now, it found itself still alive.

Although it was alive, it realized its life force was weak. If not for a miraculous medicinal power supporting it from within, it likely wouldn’t have survived for long.

Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Black Fire Crow.

That’s right. He had sensed the Black Fire Crow was about to awaken, which was why he had come.

He said in a cold voice, "That’s right. I’m the one who forced you to acknowledge me as master. Do you have a problem with that?"

The Black Fire Crow’s eyes darted about, clearly showing its fear of Jiang Chen.

It knew that after acknowledging a master, it would never be able to escape Jiang Chen’s control for the rest of its life.

"N-No problem."

"But... you almost killed me before. Why did you save me?"

In the end, the Black Fire Crow gave in. Not only had its cultivation not yet recovered, but even if it did, it still wouldn’t be able to escape Jiang Chen.

The Black Fire Crow’s current cultivation was only at the Warrior Cultivation level.

Fortunately, as long as its life force recovered, its cultivation would return to its original level.

"I saved you because you are useful to me."

"Alright, now that you’re awake, just stay here quietly. This is my world."

"Recover quickly. I’ll come back for you when I need you."

After speaking, Jiang Chen, with his hands still behind his back, stepped onto the void and slowly flew up through the earth. After he left, the thick ground slowly closed up, like a healing wound.

HISS...

Seeing this, the Black Fire Crow sucked in a sharp breath.

"Just... just how powerful must one be to make the very earth heal itself?"

It was utterly shocked.

Of course, it didn’t know that Jiang Chen was the master of this world, that all the rules here were set by him.

Here, Jiang Chen was a god.

Leaving the Black Fire Crow’s recovery spot, Jiang Chen checked on the Celestial Brown Ridge Python and found that Xiaotian’s aura was dense, showing faint signs of an impending breakthrough.

’In less than ten days, Xiaotian will definitely break through to become a Martial Emperor.’

Jiang Chen shook his head with a wry smile. ’All around me are geniuses whose cultivation is soaring,’ he thought, ’while I’m still stuck at the Martial King Tier.’

Then again, from the time his Martial Vein was dug out to him reaching Martial King Third Heaven, less than two years had passed.

Even a peerless genius couldn’t match his cultivation speed.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen finally left the Dragon-locking Realm.

「Royal Palace」

"Sovereign, we haven’t found the Third Prince or Jiang Chen. It’s as if they’ve vanished from the face of the earth."

"But we can confirm they haven’t left the city."

Master Yuan Hui still hadn’t found the Third Prince and his group.

He had returned, feeling rather resentful.

However, the men outside were still continuously searching for Jiang Chen’s whereabouts.

A flash of anger crossed Lord Wen’s face.

"A few insignificant ants. Where could they possibly be hiding?"

"Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find them for me!"

Just then, a guard hurried in.

"Reporting!"

Lord Wen said coldly, "Speak."

The guard quickly replied, "Reporting to the Sovereign, someone saw the Third Prince heading in the direction of the Guardian Hall today."

Lord Wen frowned. "The Guardian Hall? Ordinary people can’t enter the Guardian Hall. There’s a Guardian Beast standing watch there."

He didn’t believe the Third Prince would go to the Guardian Hall.

Master Yuan Hui pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Why don’t we go to the Guardian Hall and take a look?"

"They might just be hiding in the Guardian Hall."
