Divine War Pill Emperor

Little Xixi asked in confusion, “Daddy, who are we waiting for?”

Hearing that Jiang Chen was waiting for someone, Little Xixi tilted her head up curiously.

“We’re waiting for the person who’s coming to take you away.”

As soon as Jiang Chen spoke, Little Xixi’s eyes widened instantly.

She immediately hugged Jiang Chen’s leg.

Shaking her head repeatedly, she said, “No, Daddy! I’m staying with you!”

“I’m not leaving.”

Inside a secret chamber in the Artifact Refiner Guild.

An old man in a black robe held a stone that emitted a milky white glow.

He was in deep thought.

Before him lay numerous ancient tomes, all of which he had already leafed through.

And a light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

‘This stone… I picked it up outside Xingyuan City the day before yesterday.’

‘No one recognized it, but that little girl did.’

‘The Bright Stone. Legend says this kind of stone can only be found in the Bright Divine Realm.’

‘The Bright Divine Realm… a place of legends. Rumor has it that it’s the world of Angels.’

The more he thought about it, the more excited the old man became.

He was none other than the Vice President of the Artifact Refiner Guild, Elder You.

When Little Xixi had identified the Bright Stone earlier today, Elder You was struck by an idea.

Just recently, they had received news that an Angel had suddenly fallen from the Upper Realm.

This information came from the Divine Wind Empire.

And the information was highly credible.

Now, the entire Artifact Refiner Guild had begun secretly searching for that Angel, who was said to be somewhere in the Xingyuan City area.

At this moment, based on the clues he’d found regarding the Bright Stone, Elder You suddenly made a bold deduction.

‘The Angel so highly valued by the Divine Wind Empire… could very well be that little girl.’

‘It’s just that no one has ever seen what an Angel looks like.’

HUFF!

Elder You shot to his feet.

“I’m certain of it. That little girl must be the Angel.”

“Right now, only I know this secret. Not even that Jiang Chen has any idea.”

“Hmph. The Angel is mine.”

Muttering to himself, Elder You took the Bright Stone, left the secret chamber, and flew out of the Artifact Refiner Guild.

That night, Jiang Chen was cultivating with his eyes closed.

Little Xixi, however, was not asleep. Her sparkling eyes were wide open.

She watched Jiang Chen’s Cultivation with pure innocence.

WHOOSH!

A gentle breeze blew through the night.

It rustled the curtains in Jiang Chen’s room.

At that moment, Jiang Chen opened his eyes.

‘He’s here!’

He quickly got out of bed and said to Little Xixi, “Lie down on the bed and don’t move.”

“Be good.”

Little Xixi immediately nodded obediently.

Jiang Chen strode out of the room. A black-robed old man was now standing in the courtyard.

Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao were watching the old man, their faces full of caution.

Xiao Jun snapped, “Who are you? Stop skulking around.”

The old man ignored Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao.

This made Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao feel completely disregarded.

But seeing the strange aura about the man, they didn’t dare to act rashly.

“Let’s move!”

Xiao Jun couldn’t hold back any longer and prepared to strike. After all, a black-robed visitor showing up in the middle of the night was never a good sign.

Besides, the man’s identity was unknown.

“That’s enough. You two are no match for him. Stand down.”

Just then, Jiang Chen walked out of his room.

He gave the order to Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao.

The two exchanged a glance, then said to Jiang Chen, “Young Master, this man has a mysterious background and his intentions are unclear. Be careful.”

Jiang Chen nodded. “He’s here for me.”

With that, he looked at the black-robed old man, naturally recognizing him as Elder You, the Vice President of the Artifact Refiner Guild.

At that moment, Elder You sized up Jiang Chen.

He suddenly praised, “Truly a talented young man. To become a One-Star Supreme Refiner on your first certification… not bad, not bad at all.”

“You still have a chance to take me as your master.”

It was naturally very easy for Elder You to find Jiang Chen.

However, Elder You truly did admire Jiang Chen. He didn’t want to miss out on a genius who could identify nine different materials and become a One-Star Supreme Refiner.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen just said coolly, “Just state your purpose.”

“I think it’s best to skip the nonsense.”

Without even asking, Jiang Chen already knew Elder You’s purpose.

He was already prepared.

“Hehe!”

Elder You let out a laugh.

“A very straightforward brat, but not a very wise one.”

“Since you want to skip the nonsense, then let’s get to it. Hand over the little girl, and I might let you live.”

That’s right, Elder You had come for the little girl.

He didn’t bother hiding his objective.

After all, he was now certain that the little girl was the Angel.

Jiang Chen fell silent. Elder You had already guessed Little Xixi’s identity, and Jiang Chen himself had also formed a rough theory.

Although he wasn’t sure, Little Xixi’s identity did seem to match the rumors about the recently fallen Angel.

But Jiang Chen still couldn’t see anything unusual about her.

That was what he found so strange.

Finally, Jiang Chen shook his head decisively. “Handing her over is impossible.”

“I’m afraid you’ve made this trip for nothing.”

Elder You smirked, the corner of his mouth twitching.

“Is that so?”

“If I want to take her, who can possibly stop me?”

“You? Do you think you’re capable?”

“You don’t even know your own limits.”

He looked at Jiang Chen with ridicule, not taking him seriously in the slightest.

Elder You was a master at the Martial Arts Sect Eighth Heaven, while Jiang Chen was only at the Martial Arts Sect Second Heaven. The gap between them was enormous.

Therefore, Elder You could easily crush Jiang Chen.

“Even if I can’t, I still have to stop you.”

Jiang Chen could see how powerful Elder You was and urgently tried to summon Mr. Qiu Shui and the others.

But he discovered that Mr. Qiu Shui and his group were searching for the Angel and had traveled some distance from Xingyuan City. It would take them some time to return. He had to hold out until then.

This made his expression turn somewhat grim.

“Then prepare to die.”

Elder You’s black robes billowed, stirring without any wind.

In an instant, his entire body transformed into a great bird, pouncing straight toward Jiang Chen.

WHOOSH!

Elder You closed in rapidly, appearing before Jiang Chen like a goshawk swooping down on a rabbit. His speed was so immense that it gave Jiang Chen no time to react.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen quickly extended his hand, and a white fan appeared within it—the Divine Wind Fan.

A master like Elder You attacked with incredible speed, so he immediately used the Divine Wind Fan to buy himself some time.

“Die!”

Elder You struck down with his palm.

But in that same instant, Jiang Chen fiercely swung the Divine Wind Fan.

WHOOSH!

A cold wind rose, building into a fierce gale.

A terrifying, cold gust swept out from before Jiang Chen, blasting toward Elder You.

Before Elder You’s palm could land, Jiang Chen’s Divine Wind Fan had already activated.

At that moment, Elder You was suddenly startled.

In the next instant, his body was caught by the biting gale, and he was blown backward uncontrollably.

This shocked Elder You. However, he soon realized that while the gale was powerful, Jiang Chen couldn’t unleash its full potential. Its effect on him was limited.

He hurriedly mobilized his Cultivation Power, continuously waving his sleeves as he retreated.

His figure finally came to a stop ten meters away.

He glanced at the ice crystals on his clothes, then looked up at Jiang Chen in surprise.

“Brat, you’re a bit interesting. This Magical Treasure of yours is actually quite powerful.”

“It seems I’ll have an unexpected prize to take away this time.”

He stared at the Divine Wind Fan in Jiang Chen’s hand, a divine light erupting in his eyes. With just a single glance, he recognized that the Magical Treasure in Jiang Chen’s hand was incredibly potent.

Furthermore, its grade was high; it seemed to faintly surpass the level of a Treasure Artifact.

In other words, it was a treasure of the Spirit Treasure Level.

A Spiritual Treasure… Currently, no one in the Artifact Refiner Guild could refine a Spiritual Treasure.
