Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 260: Chapter 258: Frenzied Wen Quan

The Jiang Family.

At this moment, everyone was gathered in the family’s main hall. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Although the Jiang Family’s strength had forced the City Lord’s Mansion into a temporary retreat.

But everyone knew in their hearts that the City Lord’s Mansion had only withdrawn for the time being.

Elder Qi spoke up. "Patriarch, when I saw Wen Quan leaving, his eyes were filled with hatred."

"I believe the people from the City Lord’s Mansion will be back to kill us sooner or later."

Elder Qi was old and shrewd. Despite having lost his legs, his eyes saw everything clearly.

He understood that City Lord Wen Quan was a vengeful man who would repay every grievance.

Their recent retreat was simply a calculated move after weighing both sides’ strength; they didn’t want to risk a life-or-death battle.

Jiang Han’s expression was grave.

"Perhaps you’re right."

"But right now, Wen Quan has to be wary of our Jiang Family’s power. It’s not something he can act on overnight."

Considering the negligible difference in strength between them, Jiang Han believed the City Lord’s Mansion wouldn’t attack immediately.

If their powers were equal, a fight would only result in mutual destruction.

Elder Qi said again, "They might even call for experts from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom."

"We should still be cautious."

At that, Jiang Han’s expression changed.

The mention of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom made him worry.

"That’s right. The only real problem now is if the City Lord’s Mansion brings in experts from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom. That would be trouble."

The other family members’ faces turned grim.

Only Jiang Chen remained silent, lost in thought.

He was considering his own plan.

’Killing City Lord Wen Quan won’t solve the problem.’

’The Fire Sparrow Kingdom will just send someone else to replace Wen Quan, and they will threaten the Jiang Family all the same.’

’There’s only one way: control Wen Quan.’

This was Jiang Chen’s true goal.

Killing wasn’t the best solution. Only by controlling his enemy could he turn him into an ally.

He held the Cyan Silkworm Pill he had refined earlier, stroking it repeatedly.

"Chen’er, what are your thoughts?"

Jiang Han looked at his son.

This son of his had once again turned a disadvantageous situation around for the Jiang Family. It seemed that no matter the difficulty, any problem could be solved by him.

In comparison, he felt he was no match for his son.

Jiang Chen, sitting in his chair, drew the gazes of all the family members.

It couldn’t be helped. The Jiang Chen of today was simply too dazzling, as brilliant as a pearl in the dead of night.

He seemed to ponder for a long while before finally saying, "We wait. We wait for the City Lord’s Mansion to come knocking."

"And they’ll be at our door very soon."

Everyone was struck dumb.

Having them proactively attack the City Lord’s Mansion was indeed improper.

But waiting to be attacked by the City Lord’s Mansion was a bit...

However, it seemed there was no other way.

He left the family members to discuss it among themselves.

Jiang Chen, however, hurried back to his own courtyard.

Liang Yiyi had already returned to the courtyard. Seeing Jiang Chen, she couldn’t help but blush.

Thinking about what happened before made her incredibly shy.

However, Jiang Chen didn’t say much to her and went straight back to his room.

This made Liang Yiyi breathe a small sigh of relief.

’If the Young Master really falls for me... Heavens, what would I do?’

’A Maid like me, how could I ever be worthy of him!’

She muttered to herself, her cheeks turning even redder as certain thoughts crossed her mind.

It seemed even she couldn’t understand it; she yearned for the Young Master to treat her well.

Yet she also worried about her humble origins.

Back in his room, Jiang Chen took out a Pill.

It was the Cyan Silkworm Pill.

"Cyan Silkworm Pill... the big fish is about to take the bait. It’s all up to you this time."

A strange smile appeared on Jiang Chen’s face.

He held the Cyan Silkworm Pill, then extended his hand and forced a drop of bright red blood from his fingertip.

It dripped slowly onto the Cyan Silkworm Pill.

The next moment, the blood immediately seeped into the Pill.

And the Cyan Silkworm Pill suddenly trembled.

It was as if the Cyan Silkworm Spirit inside had sensed Jiang Chen’s blood and grown inexplicably excited.

In fact, the Cyan Silkworm had always been alive, just in a different way.

It was living inside this very Cyan Silkworm Pill.

Soon, the Cyan Silkworm Spirit devoured Jiang Chen’s blood.

Immediately after, Jiang Chen knew the Cyan Silkworm’s thoughts.

"Master..."

The Cyan Silkworm inside the pill sent a thought to Jiang Chen.

The Cyan Silkworm could now communicate with Jiang Chen telepathically.

Although the Cyan Silkworm’s consciousness was still very weak, and its communication skills were mediocre, it could understand simple things.

Having devoured his blood, it was now completely under Jiang Chen’s control.

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

"Cyan Silkworm, from now on, I am your master. I will always be your master."

"You must obey my every command."

"Yes... Master."

The Cyan Silkworm’s "voice" came through, halting and fragmented.

With its current level of consciousness, it couldn’t yet communicate perfectly with Jiang Chen.

But the Cyan Silkworm Pill could evolve.

Right now, the Cyan Silkworm only had a Martial Master Cultivation.

Its abilities were not yet strong enough.

"Alright. I will help you evolve, step by step, into the most powerful Cyan Silkworm."

Jiang Chen put the Cyan Silkworm Pill away.

After finishing, he took a deep breath.

All he needed now was the right time.

The perfect moment.

’With the Cyan Silkworm Pill, I can control Wen Quan.’

Several days passed peacefully.

Jiang Chen made a trip to the Alchemy Master Guild and returned with four unfamiliar, burly men.

They followed closely behind him.

However, each of them had concealed their aura, so they looked ordinary.

Back at the Jiang Family compound, Jiang Chen waited for news.

「On this day.」

In a secret chamber within the City Lord’s Mansion.

Wen Quan sat inside the chamber, his body emanating fluctuations of Cultivation.

SHHHF!

At a certain moment, Wen Quan’s eyes shot open.

Two blinding rays of light erupted from them.

Immediately, Wen Quan bellowed, "Break!"

BUZZ! freewebnoveℓ.com

The very space around him began to tremble.

A terrifying aura erupted from Wen Quan’s body.

It slammed against the walls of the secret chamber.

The chamber itself trembled slightly.

The aura around Wen Quan grew increasingly powerful.

BOOM!

Finally, with what sounded like a furious roar.

A terrifying power shot up from Wen Quan’s body like a rainbow piercing the sun, soaring into the sky.

Almost instantly, his aura became even stronger. The aura of a Martial King now enveloped Wen Quan.

In that moment, Wen Quan’s entire being radiated with high spirits.

A look of grim determination appeared on his face.

"Martial King Cultivation isn’t enough."

"Break again!"

He continuously used a Secret Technique, attempting to break through to an even higher level of Cultivation.

This Secret Technique was exceptionally potent.

It caused Wen Quan’s Cultivation to rise steadily, his aura growing ever more immense.

Time passed. A full hour later...

Wen Quan let out a great roar.

"Break!"

BUZZ!

The space trembled, and Wen Quan’s Cultivation instantly surged to the Martial King First Heaven.

Of course, that wasn’t all.

Wen Quan’s face was contorted in a savage grimace as he let out a series of fierce roars.

In several places on his body, his skin even split open, and blood began to flow.

But this did nothing to deter Wen Quan’s determination to break through.

BUZZ!

Another wave of fluctuation pulsed out.

Wen Quan’s Cultivation reached the Martial King Second Heaven.

The forced advancement from the Secret Technique had allowed his Cultivation to break through three consecutive levels.
