Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 557 - 555: Stumbling Block



Lord Wen simply couldn’t believe it. The Guardian Fire Sparrow had actually said the entire Fire Sparrow Kingdom belonged to Jiang Chen.

He glared at the Fire Sparrow, enraged. The creature had indeed betrayed the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

"Lord Wen, you can’t change anything."

"I advise you to leave at once. I do not wish to harm any of you, but that is not a license for your insolence."

The Fire Sparrow’s colossal body was wreathed in flames, its presence overwhelming.

Though Lord Wen was furious, he was utterly helpless against the Fire Sparrow.

This was because the Fire Sparrow was a Martial Emperor Expert.

"Sovereign, it seems we won’t be able to kill Jiang Chen."

"Since that’s the case, let’s retreat for now and figure out a new plan once we’re back."

Master Yuan Hui was wary of the Fire Sparrow, so naturally, he dared not make a move.

Even if he and Lord Wen joined forces, they would be no match for the Fire Sparrow.

Lord Wen stared daggers at the Fire Sparrow.

Finally, he said furiously, "I will tell my father about this."

"Goodbye."

With that, he turned and left the manor, taking Master Yuan Hui, Wen Shixuan, Wen Shixi, and the others with him.

Staying any longer was completely pointless unless they could first defeat the Fire Sparrow—and that was clearly next to impossible.

As Lord Wen and his group retreated, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Wu and the others were finally safe.

The Fire Sparrow’s sudden appearance, however, was a complete surprise. Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked,

"Fire Sparrow, why did you save me?"

"Perhaps... it was destiny."

With those words, the Fire Sparrow glanced at Jiang Chen, spread its wings, and soared back toward the Guardian Hall.

Jiang Chen was baffled.

"Jiang Chen..."

"What on earth is going on? The Guardian Beast actually stepped in to help you. What is your relationship with it?"

Huo Wu and the others all came forward to ask, each one burning with curiosity.

They had seen too many incredible things today.

Jiang Chen just shook his head, saying nothing.

The commotion from the battle had alarmed Zhan Yang, JinLing, and the others who were in seclusion, and they all emerged to find the manor in slight disarray.

"Jiang Chen, what happened?"

"Was there a huge battle here?"

Zhan Yang, JinLing, Niu Tuo, and Lu Beifeng all looked astonished.

Jiang Chen gave a brief explanation without going into detail, so Zhan Yang and the others had no choice but to return to their seclusion.

After settling in Huo Wu and the others, Jiang Chen took the Golden-haired Zombie King to the Dragon-locking Realm to heal its wounds.

Thanks to the Fire Sparrow’s intervention, the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s guards stopped harassing Jiang Chen and his people.

A figure hurried along a street in Gambling City.

It was none other than Wen Shixuan, his expression grim.

’Jiang Chen... I never expected him to be so uncanny.’

’This won’t do. I have to get my masters involved. Every day Jiang Chen lives is another day the Third Prince could usurp the throne.’

Soon, Wen Shixuan appeared at the Alchemy Master Guild in Gambling City.

"Lord Steward."

At the entrance, the guards of the Alchemy Master Guild immediately greeted Wen Shixuan with the utmost respect.

Wen Shixuan nodded.

He was dressed in the white robes of the Alchemy Master Guild.

On his chest hung the badge of an Intermediate Steward.

Wen Shixuan was not just an Alchemist; he was also an Intermediate Steward of the Alchemy Master Guild. Most critically, his two masters were none other than the Guild’s two Vice Presidents.

’Now that Father is injured, my masters will surely help me.’

Soon, Wen Shixuan arrived at the Vice President’s Hall.

Inside the Vice President’s Hall.

Two figures sat facing each other, a man and a woman.

They were the two Vice Presidents of the Alchemy Master Guild.

Chang Mao and Wenzhu.

"Your disciple pays his respects, Masters."

Seeing Chang Mao and Wenzhu, Wen Shixuan immediately bowed respectfully.

Wen Shixuan was a man of great fortune; both Vice Presidents were his masters.

The man, Chang Mao, waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities."

Then, seeing Wen Shixuan’s grim expression, he asked, "What is it? Have you run into some trouble, disciple?"

Wenzhu also looked at Wen Shixuan. Both of them were very concerned about this disciple.

Wen Shixuan gritted his teeth and said, "Masters, my third brother has risen suddenly and is trying to seize the Sovereign’s throne."

"Now, even my second brother and I can’t suppress him."

Chang Mao and Wenzhu both frowned.

Wenzhu asked in surprise, "Wen Shiren doesn’t seem to have any experts by his side. How can he be a threat to you and Wen Shixi?"

"What exactly is going on?"

Both were very curious. Although they were Vice Presidents of the Alchemy Master Guild, they paid extremely close attention to the affairs of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

This was especially true since their disciple was Wen Shixuan, the Crown Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

They were even waiting for Wen Shixuan to take control of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, which would surely be of great benefit to them.

That was why they had always supported Wen Shixuan with all their might.

But they also knew that Wen Shiren possessed no remarkable skills, nor did he have any powerful experts helping him.

The fact that their disciple was now at a disadvantage was something they couldn’t quite understand.

Wen Shixuan explained, "It’s like this. My third brother somehow found someone named Jiang Chen."

"This person is extremely uncanny. We intended to kill him today, but unexpectedly, not only did we fail, we were also taught a harsh lesson by him."

"He nearly killed us."

"What’s so uncanny about him is that he can completely control the Fire Sparrow Seals inside our bodies. It means our cultivation is useless in his presence. Even if we do nothing, we still suffer a backlash from the Seal."

Chang Mao and Wenzhu were both shocked.

"A backlash from the Fire Sparrow Seal... This is the first time I’ve ever heard of such a thing."

Wen Shixuan said with lingering fear, "That brat... I don’t know what methods he uses, but we’re completely powerless against him."

"Today, even my father, the Sovereign, was severely injured by a backlash from the Fire Sparrow Seal that he controlled."

"Oh, right, and even our Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s Guardian Fire Sparrow appeared to stop us from killing Jiang Chen. It’s very strange."

At that moment, Chang Mao and Wenzhu were thoroughly shaken.

Both of them stood up.

"If that’s the case, this Jiang Chen really is quite uncanny."

Wen Shixuan was deeply wary of Jiang Chen. To ensure his masters would intervene, he added, "Masters, last time, when I went to compete for the Black Fire, it was this same Jiang Chen who snatched it away in the end."

"And he was the one who crippled my arm."

What?

Chang Mao and Wenzhu were truly aghast.

According to Wen Shixuan’s account, their disciple was being completely suppressed by Jiang Chen on all fronts.

This was not a good sign.

"To be able to suppress you and even have the Fire Sparrow step in to help him... this person is by no means ordinary."

Chang Mao said with a grim expression, "However, even so, anyone who opposes you must die."

Wenzhu’s face was also filled with killing intent.

"Xuan’er, rest assured. The position of Sovereign of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom can only be yours."

"Since that brat is a stumbling block in your path, then we will act and eliminate him."

Hearing this, Wen Shixuan was overjoyed.

As long as his two masters took action, they could definitely kill Jiang Chen.

After all, Chang Mao and Wenzhu were both experts at the Peak of Martial Arts Nine Heavens.

They were also the two Vice Presidents of the Alchemy Master Guild, possessing immense power and authority.
