Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 270: Chapter 268: Control

The three Martial Kings at his side had already departed one by one, just as planned.

Jiang Chen, however, wasn’t in a hurry. He continued to wait.

"Who’s there?"

Suddenly, a guard patrolling the West Gate sensed a dark figure appear before him and immediately shouted.

"Enemy attack...!"

The mansion was on high alert tonight, so he instantly knew it had to be an enemy.

SWISH!

Just then, the shadowy figure appeared before the guard and struck out with its palm, killing him on the spot.

At that moment, the other guards were instantly alerted.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack...!"

The entire West Gate was thrown into chaos.

The guards immediately mounted a defense and began to pursue the black-clad figure.

At the same time, from a high perch in a great hall, the Martial King Puppet shot to its feet, its body instantly launching into the air.

It sped directly toward the commotion.

In another great hall, the City Lord’s Mansion’s butler, Wu Feng, had a sharp glint in his eyes.

’Tonight, I must be extremely careful.’

When he heard a guard cry out about an enemy attack, he whipped his head toward the West Gate.

His expression changed.

’They’ve really come. So the Jiang Family is launching a sneak attack.’

He guessed in an instant that it had to be a sneak attack from the Jiang Family.

Besides the Jiang Family, no other power would dare to attack the City Lord’s Mansion right now.

Just as he was about to go and help,

a sudden scream echoed from the East Gate.

’Damn it, this is bad.’

As the butler of the City Lord’s Mansion, Wu Feng was responsible for its security.

Lin Hai and the others all took their orders from him.

Without a second thought, he shot off toward the East Gate.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

He was incredibly fast. His Martial King Cultivation allowed him to fly by treading on the air itself.

He sped toward the East Gate.

"Bold fiend! You’re courting death! How dare you trespass in our City Lord’s Mansion!"

He saw a black-clad figure who had already killed several of the City Lord’s Mansion’s guards.

The guards fought bravely, fearing no death, but their opponent was a Martial King. Numbers were useless against such Cultivation.

His expression was grim. A great saber appeared in his hand, and he charged forward to attack.

The black-clad figure saw Wu Feng appear.

An imperceptible, strange smile touched its lips.

Then, without a word, it crushed another guard to death with a single grab.

It turned and fled.

"Bastard! Where do you think you’re going?!"

Wu Feng was overcome with rage. The intruder had killed a guard from the City Lord’s Mansion right in front of him.

He couldn’t possibly let the perpetrator go, and immediately gave chase.

Soon, the chase led him out of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Over at the chaotic West Gate, the Martial King Puppet had also given chase and left the premises.

At the same time, a dark figure appeared at the South Gate.

SWISH!

Lin Hai, who was guarding the South Gate, saw a dark figure rush in at high speed. His expression changed drastically.

"Halt!"

he bellowed, but the figure didn’t slow in the slightest.

It forced its way inside.

In moments, it had breached the City Lord’s Mansion.

It killed nearly everyone it saw.

Instantly, the entire City Lord’s Mansion was thrown into utter chaos.

The scene was one of complete pandemonium.

Watching from a distance, Jiang Chen saw the chaos and turned to the Martial King Expert beside him. "Alright, it’s our turn."

Without a word, the Martial King Expert took Jiang Chen and rapidly approached the City Lord’s Mansion. They took advantage of the chaos to disappear inside.

As a Martial King Expert, his speed was so extreme that no one from the City Lord’s Mansion noticed them.

In the current chaos, it was easy to fish in troubled waters.

"To the west. Quickly, to the west."

Jiang Chen made a beeline for City Lord Wen Quan’s location.

Wen Quan had been injured by a backlash during the day. Jiang Chen had even triggered it multiple times, precisely to strip Wen Quan of his Combat Power.

He guessed that Wen Quan couldn’t have recovered much by now.

This was his chance.

Finding Wen Quan was no trouble for Jiang Chen.

Because Wen Quan practiced the Fire Sparrow Seal, Jiang Chen could use his own Spiritual Qi embedded within the seal to pinpoint Wen Quan’s location.

WHOOSH!

In a flash, Jiang Chen and the Martial King Expert appeared in a great hall.

The hall didn’t have a single guard.

It was unclear if Wen Quan had deliberately left no guards, or if they had all gone to hunt down the intruders.

Jiang Chen wasn’t worried about the strength of his black-clad decoys.

He and the Martial King Expert slipped into the hall in a flash.

"He’s underground. Quick, find the entrance."

Jiang Chen focused his senses and discovered Wen Quan was underground. This meant he was recuperating in a chamber beneath the hall.

Great halls like this usually had secret chambers or hidden passages underneath.

The Jiang Family had a similar arrangement themselves.

The Martial King Expert moved quickly, searching for the entrance under Jiang Chen’s guidance.

"Here."

They quickly found a specific room.

Using his Vermilion Bird Seal to sense the location of the Fire Sparrow Seal, Jiang Chen finally located the entrance.

They entered the room and found the entrance hidden behind a bookshelf.

"Hmm, there’s a seal."

The Martial King Expert investigated and found a seal placed by Wen Quan.

A flicker of fiery light flared from Jiang Chen, and the seal vanished instantly.

"Hm?"

In the secret chamber below, Wen Quan, who was in the middle of healing, snapped his eyes open.

’Someone found my secret healing chamber?’ he thought in horror. freewebnσvel.cѳm

’This is bad.’

He was horrified. He never thought someone would be able to break his seal.

But there was nowhere to hide in the small secret chamber.

Just then, having broken through the seals one by one, Jiang Chen and the Martial King Expert finally broke the last one and appeared in the secret chamber.

"It’s you?"

"Jiang Chen!"

When Wen Quan saw it was Jiang Chen, his face fell.

He feared no one—except for Jiang Chen.

After encountering Jiang Chen during the day, the Fire Sparrow Seal had repeatedly backlashed. He knew it had to be related to him.

He possessed immense Cultivation, yet was completely unable to unleash its power.

Now, looking at Jiang Chen, his heart pounded in his chest.

A terrible premonition washed over him.

He knew he was in deep trouble tonight.

He instantly put his guard up.

"It’s me. Surprised?"

Without another word, Jiang Chen spat out a single command.

"Backlash!" freewebnøvel.coɱ

"AH—!"

The moment the word left Jiang Chen’s lips, Wen Quan let out a pained scream.

He was already severely injured from the daytime, and now, struck by the Fire Sparrow Seal’s backlash once more, he nearly passed out.

"Jiang Chen, what in the world are you trying to do?"

"I won’t cause trouble for the Jiang Family anymore! Let me go!"

He was afraid. He was truly afraid of this boy, Jiang Chen.

Forcing the Fire Sparrow Seal to backlash the moment he arrived... Wen Quan was now completely certain that the phenomenon was connected to Jiang Chen. It was terrifying.

Jiang Chen shook his head. "No. I prefer to solve my problems myself."

"Backlash!"

"ARGH...!"

Wen Quan screamed again and again, the consecutive backlashes from the Fire Sparrow Seal leaving him utterly debilitated.

It was like piling injuries on top of injuries.

He had completely lost all his Combat Power.

"Seize him!"

Still not taking any chances, Jiang Chen pointed at Wen Quan and gave the order to the Martial King Expert beside him.

Without a word, the Martial King Expert was instantly at Wen Quan’s side. He seized the City Lord, unleashed his Cultivation, and directly sealed the injured man’s power.

It was all over in a matter of moments. They had encountered no resistance whatsoever.

Only then could Jiang Chen finally relax.

Wen Quan, however, was terrified.

He began to beg for mercy. "Jiang Chen, let me go! I swear I’ll never be an enemy to the Jiang Family again!"

Jiang Chen shook his head indifferently.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "I think I have a more reliable method."

"From now on, you just focus on being the City Lord."

His smile was like that of a demon—utterly terrifying.
