Divine War Pill Emperor

Lord Wen, Master Yuan Hui, and the others were driven out by the Fire Sparrow.

They felt absolutely terrible.

Lord Wen even suspected the Fire Sparrow intended to betray the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

The thought of the Fire Sparrow brought to mind the kingdom’s founding ancestor and first Sovereign, Wen Liang.

Wen Liang was Lord Wen’s father. He had long since retreated from public life to focus on his secluded cultivation.

Worse, his lifespan was nearing its end, and he was close to death.

"Yes, Father! If Grandfather were to step in, even the Guardian Beast would listen to him."

"Why don’t we ask Grandfather to come out?"

Lord Wen, however, said gravely, "Your grandfather’s time is almost up. He won’t appear unless the very foundation of our kingdom is at risk."

’He was the only one who truly understood how difficult it would be for his father to intervene right now.’

’Even though his father’s cultivation was on the verge of breaking through to the Martial Saint realm... a Martial Saint, a terrifying existence beyond even a Martial Emperor. If his father succeeded, his lifespan would increase by another thousand years. But if he failed, he would truly be at death’s door.’

Naturally, Lord Wen desperately hoped his father would be able to break through.

Just as he was hesitating, Master Yuan Hui said, "Sovereign, the situation isn’t that dire yet."

"Asking the ancestor to intervene is not our first priority."

"Since we know where the Third Prince’s confidants are hiding, we should just kill them first. Then, the Third Prince will be left without any support."

"Even if the Guardian Beast protects him, he won’t be able to make any significant waves."

At that moment, Lord Wen’s eyes lit up.

’That’s right. The only reason the Third Prince would dare to defy an imperial edict this time must be because of those trusted subordinates.’

’If Jiang Chen and his group hadn’t instigated him, the Third Prince definitely wouldn’t have dared to defy the edict.’

He immediately ordered in a cold voice, "Good. Arrest Jiang Chen and his men at once."

"Especially that Jiang Chen. Don’t let him escape."

Lord Wen went personally, leading Master Yuan Hui, Wen Shixuan, Wen Shixi, and a large contingent of guards straight to the residence the Night Ghost had located for Jiang Chen and his people.

「Inside the manor.」

As Jiang Chen gazed into the deep night, a faint sense of impending danger snapped his eyes open.

Just as he was about to head out, he suddenly felt something.

"M... Master, let me out."

It was the Black Fire Crow. The creature was still recovering its cultivation, which had only reached the Samurai level. It would still be some time before it returned to its peak state.

Surprised, Jiang Chen had a thought. The Black Fire Crow emerged from the depths of the earth and, in a flash of light, appeared inside the room.

"Why are you out here? Shouldn’t you be recovering your cultivation?"

Jiang Chen frowned; the Black Fire Crow had almost no combat power at the moment.

’He didn’t understand why the Black Fire Crow had suddenly appeared.’

The Black Fire Crow glanced frantically at the sky, then said excitedly, "Master, I... I just sensed it! There’s a pair of eyes in the sky watching me!"

"We Black Fire Crows can unlock our Celestial Eye after we find and devour a creature called a Night Ghost."

"I think I sense a Night Ghost nearby!"

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

"Your clan has an ability like that? To open the Celestial Eye?"

’Opening the Celestial Eye... that was an incredibly rare feat.’

Once the Celestial Eye was open, it could perceive things completely invisible to ordinary people.

For example, one glance with an open Celestial Eye was enough to reveal hidden treasures.

If a Martial Cultivator could open their Celestial Eye, they could find endless fortuitous encounters. Becoming a powerful expert would then be a matter of course.

The Celestial Eye was a truly miraculous thing.

But for most living beings, the chance to open the Celestial Eye simply never arose.

’Jiang Chen never would have guessed that the Black Fire Crow clan was naturally able to open the Celestial Eye.’

’But it was tied to the Night Ghosts.’

At the mention of the Night Ghost, Jiang Chen was alarmed.

"You’re saying, there’s a Night Ghost nearby?"

He was, of course, familiar with the infamous Night Ghost.

Night Ghosts were nocturnal and possessed a terrifying Divine Technique: tracking. Once a Night Ghost locked onto even a sliver of a person’s aura, it could find their location, no matter how great the distance.

That was what made the Night Ghost so terrifying.

The Black Fire Crow nodded. "Yes, Master. I can sense the Night Ghost’s aura."

"Night Ghosts and we Black Fire Crows are natural enemies. We are their bane."

"So if I devour the Night Ghost, I’ll have a chance to open my Celestial Eye. After it’s open, I’ll be able to find all sorts of treasures."

"That’s why our Black Fire Crow clan is known for its ’All-Seeing Celestial Eye’."

Jiang Chen was intrigued.

’If the Black Fire Crow opened its Celestial Eye, it could help him find countless treasures in the future. And treasures were exactly what he lacked right now.’

’Things like Life Spring Water and Primordial Veins.’

’Of course, he also needed a lot of Alchemy Materials. Those were hard to find, but with the Black Fire Crow’s help, finding them would be a breeze.’

’Jiang Chen had known about Black Fire Crows before, but he’d never known they possessed such an ability.’

’The prerequisite, however, was opening the Celestial Eye.’

"Alright then. In that case, I’ll help you catch that Night Ghost."

"Can you sense the Night Ghost’s location right now?"

His mind was made up. He would capture the Night Ghost.

The Black Fire Crow nodded. "We Black Fire Crows can naturally sense Night Ghosts. However... that one seems to be moving away quickly."

"Oh no, Master! The Night Ghost must have sensed my presence! We have to chase it now!"

Jiang Chen quickly sent a mental message to Huo Wu and the others, "Stay on guard here at the manor. I’m heading out for a bit, but I’ll be back soon."

Without another word, Jiang Chen took the Black Fire Crow and gave chase, following the direction it sensed the Night Ghost was in.

They headed north.

Jiang Chen soon realized they were on the road leading out of the north city gate.

’The Night Ghost is trying to escape Gambling City.’

The Black Fire Crow grew anxious. They were still inside the city, where a flight-restricting formation prevented them from taking to the air.

They could only chase on foot.

Jiang Chen picked up his pace, breaking into a full sprint as he rushed toward the north gate.

Since the Black Fire Crow had a clear sense of the Night Ghost’s location, Jiang Chen wasn’t worried about losing its trail. His only concern was that the Night Ghost’s cultivation might be too powerful.

Near Gambling City’s north gate, a blue figure was dashing rapidly toward the city exit.

Its speed was incredible.

It was the Night Ghost. He kept glancing back over his shoulder, his eyes filled with panic.

’Damn it! I’m doomed!’

’When I saw that Celestial Eye watching me, I knew my nemesis had to be nearby.’

’And now it’s found me. It’s all over.’

While fleeing, the Night Ghost regretted appearing to feast on fresh blood earlier.

If he had remained hidden, the Black Fire Crow might not have found him. But the moment he manifested in the mortal world, the Black Fire Crow clan could sense him.

Despite his own wondrous abilities, the Night Ghost feared the Black Fire Crow clan. They were his ultimate nemesis.

That was why Night Ghosts generally stayed far away from any place a Black Fire Crow might dwell.

They didn’t even dare to venture out when their cultivation was still low.
