Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 261: Chapter 259: Staging a Comeback

"Dad, you broke through?"

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, Wen Bufan looked at his father.

At this moment, his father was exuding an absolutely terrifying aura that made him tremble.

That aura was simply unfathomable.

Wen Quan nodded and clenched his fist hard, his knuckles cracking with a CRACKLE.

His eyes narrowed, brimming with confidence from his newfound power.

Patting his son on the shoulder, Wen Quan sat down in a chair.

His tone was grim. "I have. It’s time for the Jiang Family to be annihilated."

"I’ll take you to get your revenge."

Wen Bufan’s eyes lit up with excitement.

"Dad, you have to slaughter the Jiang Family until not even their dogs and chickens are left!"

"Grind that Jiang Chen’s bones to dust! Nothing less will quell the hatred in my heart."

He gritted his teeth. He had endured these past few days just for this moment.

"Good. It will happen. The Jiang Family will be destroyed, and Jiang Chen will die."

Wen Quan’s voice was thick with killing intent, like a volcano on the verge of erupting.

Beside him, Housekeeper Wu Feng had been observing the City Lord, Wen Quan, ever since he came out of seclusion.

He also had a Martial King’s Cultivation, but the abyssal aura now radiating from Wen Quan was deeply alarming.

However, he sighed to himself.

’Since Wen Quan used a Secret Technique, his Cultivation will never advance another step. He’ll be stuck at his current Realm forever.’

He asked in a low voice, "City Lord, what level has your Cultivation reached?"

"Why can’t I sense it at all?"

He knew that after using the Secret Technique, Wen Quan’s Cultivation would be incredibly strong, but he didn’t know just how strong.

So, driven by curiosity, he asked.

Wen Quan knew Wu Feng was just curious. Besides, Wu Feng was fiercely loyal, so he saw no reason to hide it.

He laughed loudly. "I now have a Fifth Heaven Martial King Cultivation."

"Housekeeper Wu, what do you think of that?"

Wu Feng sucked in a sharp breath.

"To break through to the Martial King Fifth Heaven in just a few days... so powerful... so incredibly powerful!" Wu Feng stammered, utterly shocked by the might of the Secret Technique.

Laughing heartily, Wen Quan asked, "With my current Cultivation, do you think I could slaughter the entire Jiang Family by myself?"

He was on top of the world, brimming with confidence.

With his Fifth Heaven Martial King Cultivation, he was confident he could sweep through Hanwu City undefeated.

The Jiang Family’s strength was what had forced him to use the Secret Technique to raise his Cultivation in the first place.

After all, the destruction of the Fire Sparrow Seal had infuriated him to no end.

The loss of the Fire Sparrow Seal even affected his standing in Hanwu City.

Without the Fire Sparrow Seal, other Wen Family members from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom might try to seize his position as City Lord.

It would be difficult to acquire a new Fire Sparrow Seal.

But if he were to cut off the heads of the entire Jiang Family and present them to the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, he might be able to obtain a new one.

"City Lord, would you like the truth or a lie?"

Wu Feng asked with a smile.

But Wen Quan just waved his hand. "The truth and the lie. Let’s hear both."

Wu Feng smiled. "The truth is, if the City Lord makes a move now, the Jiang Family will be razed to the ground, with not even a blade of grass left standing."

"The lie is that the City Lord will never be defeated."

At that, Wen Quan burst into hearty laughter.

Wu Feng’s flattery was excellent. He liked it a lot.

"Good! Today is the Jiang Family’s last day."

"Assemble the army! Follow me and charge into the Jiang Family’s estate!"

"We’ll slaughter every last one of them!"

Soon, Wu Feng had assembled the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion.

A force of more than two thousand powerful guards.

Wen Quan, leading Housekeeper Wu Feng, the Martial King Puppet, his son Wen Bufan, Lin Hai, and the others, marched toward the Jiang Family estate once more in a vast and formidable procession.

It could be said they had mobilized their entire force.

Meanwhile, the Jiang Family had long had eyes on the City Lord’s Mansion.

At that moment, inside the family’s main hall...

"Report! The City Lord’s Mansion is on the move!"

Patriarch Jiang Han jolted.

’So, they’ve finally come. The City Lord’s Mansion was never going to let this go.’

Elder Qi also frowned deeply.

Seated in his wheelchair, the robes covering his missing legs stirred as if moved by an unfelt wind.

"I knew the City Lord’s Mansion would come."

"They’ve been preparing for days. They must be certain of victory to have come now. We must be careful."

Jiang Han’s expression was grave.

"Regardless, this battle is unavoidable."

"Let us face them."

He knew that retreat was no longer an option.

The Jiang Family could not keep retreating. Only by fighting and defeating the City Lord’s Mansion could they ensure their safety.

"Sons of the Jiang Family, are you ready?"

Jiang Han stood up and raised his arm, shouting.

Instantly, the members of the Jiang Family let out furious roars.

"Ready to fight at any moment!"

"KILL! KILL! KILL...!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Their cries shook the surroundings.

Jiang Chen slowly rose from his chair.

He held up a hand to quiet the crowd.

He announced in a clear voice, "Our clansmen do not need to mobilize. We must avoid unnecessary casualties."

"I alone am enough."

What?

At a time like this, Jiang Chen was actually telling his clansmen not to fight?

This confused everyone in the Jiang Family.

"Son, what are you trying to do?"

"If none of us move, how can you possibly stand against the army of the City Lord’s Mansion alone?"

Jiang Han asked Jiang Chen, bewildered.

’What is my son up to now?’

He didn’t understand at all.

Even the other clan members were looking at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled. "We don’t need numbers. An army’s strength lies in its quality, not its quantity."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands.

CLAP! CLAP!

The moment he finished clapping, four hulking men strode into the Jiang Family’s main hall.

Each one had an overwhelming presence.

They were exceptionally fierce.

The aura of their Martial King Cultivation was enough to stun everyone from the Jiang Family.

"Four Martial King Experts?"

All the Jiang Family members gasped.

The Jiang Family had produced four more Martial King Experts.

It made everyone wonder when the Jiang Family had acquired so many Martial King Experts.

They were practically as common as ox hair, with new Martial King Experts popping up every so often.

Even Elder Qi, who thought he was already impressed with Jiang Chen beyond measure...

...now saw that Jiang Chen had somehow brought Four Great Martial Kings from who-knows-where. It was enough to make one’s heart tremble.

’How does this kid have so many Martial King Experts at his side?’

"Young Master Jiang Chen, where... where did these Four Great Martial Kings come from?"

He couldn’t help but ask, his voice filled with awe and shock.

Jiang Han, however, seemed to have realized something.

He spoke up hurriedly, "Are these..."

"The Martial Kings from the Alchemist Guild?"

He had figured it out. The men Jiang Chen brought were definitely not the Jiang Family’s Death Warriors, so the only possibility was that they were Martial Kings from the Alchemist Guild.

And since Jiang Chen was now the President of the Alchemist Guild, it made sense that he could bring Martial King Experts as reinforcements.

Jiang Chen nodded. "If we’re going to fight, then we will crush the City Lord’s Mansion."

"No one else needs to get involved. Father, you and Elder Qi just need to lend me a hand."

"Everyone else can just watch."

"This time, I will bring the City Lord’s Mansion completely under my control."

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, the members of the Jiang Family all drew a sharp breath.

The Young Master didn’t say he would defeat the City Lord’s Mansion, but that he would *control* it.

Defeating them was far simpler than controlling them.

To control them... that was truly terrifying.
