Xiao Yun, with her Martial Master Third Heaven Cultivation, was defeated by the Infinite Sword Array.

And each member forming the Sword Array’s foundation was only at the level of a Martial Artist.

Xiao Yun’s face was pale. She knew that if her husband, Jiang Han, hadn’t called a stop, she would have been torn to shreds by the Sword Array.

Her heart still pounding with fear, she glanced at the Death Warriors.

"It’s incredible. They’re all just at the Martial Artist Cultivation level."

Forty ordinary Martial Artists wouldn’t have survived even a couple of blows from Xiao Yun.

But now, this strange Sword Array formed by forty Martial Artists was terrifyingly powerful.

She couldn’t help but be shocked.

’If, as my son Jiang Chen said, each of these Death Warriors had the Cultivation of a Martial King, how terrifying would the Sword Array’s power become?’

"How are you? Are you alright?"

Jiang Han was a little embarrassed; he had been a bit slow to call it off.

He asked after his wife with cautious concern.

In response, he only got a fierce glare from Xiao Yun.

"I’m not dead yet."

Xiao Yun was dejected, unhappy that she hadn’t managed to break the Sword Array.

Of course, deep down, she was actually very happy.

The more powerful the Sword Array, the better it was for the Jiang Family.

Jiang Chen walked over as well, saying to Jiang Han and Xiao Yun, "Father, Mother, leave their training to me from now on."

"I’ll ’get’ some Martial King Pills from my master as soon as I can to help them reach Martial King Cultivation."

At this point, Jiang Han and Xiao Yun no longer had any doubts about Jiang Chen.

Even though Jiang Chen repeatedly trotted out his mysterious master to take the credit, no one could be sure if he was real or not.

They believed almost everything their son told them.

They simply nodded without a word.

Jiang Chen had the Death Warriors continue practicing the Sword Array.

He then led his parents to another area.

Four people were lying there.

"Master!"

"Patriarch!"

"Madam!"

Seeing Jiang Chen and his parents arrive, several Death Warriors came over to greet them.

These were the Death Warriors Jiang Chen had chosen to take the Bloodthirst Pills.

But now, only six of them were standing. Four others lay on the ground, twitching uncontrollably.

"What’s this?"

Jiang Han saw that these four were the Martial King Experts who had saved the Jiang Family.

He knew they had taken Bloodthirst Pills, but now they were not just extremely weak; they were trembling all over, their faces pale. It was a miserable sight.

They looked as if they were on the verge of death.

Jiang Chen sighed. "The Bloodthirst Pill can boost their Cultivation for a short time, but the side effects are severe when they manifest."

He took four Elixirs from his robes.

He handed them to one of the standing Death Warriors.

"Have them take these. They’re Pain Relief Pills, which should ease their suffering."

The Death Warrior quickly administered the Pain Relief Pills to the four men.

Zang Jun and Xi Feng were among them.

They had all taken Bloodthirst Pills and were now suffering from unbearable pain.

The pain was so intense they couldn’t even greet Jiang Chen and the others.

They just kept twitching on the ground.

Seeing this, Jiang Han frowned. He clearly hadn’t expected such terrifying side effects to follow that burst of power.

In their current state, Zang Jun and the other three could be easily killed by an ordinary person.

It was a complete reversal from their previous imposing auras as Martial King Experts.

’It seems this Bloodthirst Pill isn’t worth the cost.’

He was holding Bloodthirst Pills himself, but after seeing this, he understood they should only be used as a last resort. Otherwise, the people who took them would end up this miserable.

Of course, Bloodthirst Pills were only ever meant for desperate situations.

Jiang Chen could only shake his head with a wry smile.

There was nothing else that could be done.

Fortunately, his Pain Relief Pills had a decent effect.

After a short while, the pain subsided for Zang Jun and the other three.

Each of them was deathly pale.

Still, they looked toward Jiang Chen.

"Thank you for the Pills, Master."

They were Death Warriors. They felt the pain, yet they still endured it with grim determination.

They had even felt the urge to take their own lives.

Thankfully, Jiang Chen’s Pain Relief Pills numbed their bodies, lessening the agony.

They would recover for a time and feel better, but their bodies would grow weaker by the day.

Only by increasing their Cultivation could they reduce the pain.

Unfortunately, their Cultivation levels were all low, which was why they suffered so much.

"Focus on your recovery. These are Elixirs for the four of you. Take them and raise your Cultivation as quickly as possible."

"Once your Cultivation is higher, it will greatly reduce your suffering."

"And if we have enough time, I won’t have you take Bloodthirst Pills again."

’The prerequisite is that I refine the Martial King Pills as soon as possible. Once I raise their Cultivation to the Martial King realm, I won’t need to use Bloodthirst Pills anymore.’

’The Bloodthirst Pill is just too cruel.’

"Yes, Master."

Without disturbing them further, Jiang Chen beckoned two other Death Warriors over.

"For the next few days, you two will follow me."

The two Death Warriors immediately fell in behind Jiang Chen without the slightest hesitation.

The family of three left the main hall.

Jiang Chen returned to his courtyard alone.

As for the Bai Family and the Ximen Family, all their assets had been seized by the Jiang Family in a lightning-fast offensive.

From then on, the Jiang Family was the only major family left in Hanwu City.

The other, smaller families naturally couldn’t compare to the newly dominant Jiang Family.

Of course, the bloody conflict between the three great families had caused quite a stir in Hanwu City. Even the City Lord’s Mansion had sent people to the Jiang Family.

But in the end, they remained surprisingly silent, which was taken as tacit approval of the Jiang Family’s actions.

The other larger powers also remained indifferent.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

As for Jiang Chen, aside from his Cultivation and Alchemy, he spent his days traveling between the Alchemy Master Guild and the Jiang Family estate.

His days were relatively peaceful.

Of course, he couldn’t completely relax.

The Martial King Pill was a constant preoccupation.

"Father, please keep an eye out for these materials. If you find any, buy them immediately."

Jiang Chen found his father and gave him a list of materials he had compiled.

These were some of the ingredients he needed to refine Martial King Pills.

It was only natural to have the family help him search; with more people, it would be easier to find them.

He was also trying to find ways on his own.

"Alright, leave it to us. You go and focus on what you need to do."

Jiang Han now had absolute faith in his son, Jiang Chen.

He agreed to everything without question.

After Jiang Chen left, Xiao Yun suddenly spoke up. "There’s only half a year left on our son’s one-year agreement with that arrogant woman from the Qin Family of Guyue City, Qin Muxue, isn’t there?"

Hearing this, Jiang Han’s gaze turned ice-cold.

"Qin Muxue of the Qin Family... that’s right. When the time comes, our entire family will go to the Qin Family in Guyue City and formally annul the engagement."

"She’s not worthy of being our daughter-in-law. So full of herself."

The couple was still filled with anger as they spoke of the matter.

But aside from their anger, they also felt a secret sense of delight.

Luckily, she was the one who came to break the engagement. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble their precious son would have been in because of Qin Muxue. The most terrifying thought was that her negative influence could have plagued the Jiang Family for generations.

In their eyes, there were very few women worthy of the man Jiang Chen had become.

Jiang Chen, oblivious to this conversation, strolled leisurely back to the Alchemy Master Guild.

He took care of some official business.

He thought he would have a few more days of peace.

But it seemed some people were determined not to let Jiang Chen have any peace.
