Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Fury of the Woman in Red

BANG!

Master Tian Mu slammed his hand down, shattering a corner of the table.

He was truly livid. After all, he and Master Qin had been on good terms before.

He couldn’t fathom why Master Qin would stoop to such a trick, even using poison, nearly forcing their young miss to unwittingly marry Qin Lie.

"That damn bastard! I, Tian Mu, will absolutely not let this go! He’s gone too far!"

At that moment, Master Tian Mu was burning with rage.

Of course, he didn’t forget to thank Jiang Chen.

It was indeed Jiang Chen who had stepped in and helped their young miss avert the crisis.

He gave Jiang Chen a deep bow.

"Thank you, Young Master Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen waved his hand, not thinking much of it.

"Jiang Chen, wait a moment. Your Elixirs have been exchanged for spirit crystals."

With that, Murong Xiangming went back to the accounting room and returned with Jiang Chen’s spirit crystals.

After all, Jiang Chen had given her ten thousand Gold Quality Elixirs to help him sell.

They had now been successfully sold at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

The Treasure Elephant Pavilion had branches everywhere. Ten thousand Elixirs were nowhere near enough and were snapped up in no time.

Previously, while under the effects of Qin Lie’s Heart-Tugging Powder, she hadn’t been able to attend to Jiang Chen’s matter.

Now, she handed a Spatial Ring to Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, your spirit crystals are inside."

Jiang Chen took it and checked inside. It contained over three hundred million spirit crystals—a massive fortune.

He instantly felt like he’d become fabulously wealthy.

It was true that Alchemists were never short on money, especially one like Jiang Chen. To him, money was just a tool.

At the same time, inside the Spatial Ring, a silver-white sword was radiating the glow of a Top-Grade Treasure Artifact.

’A Top-Grade Treasure Artifact? It’s actually a Magical Treasure of the Top-Grade Treasure Level?’

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected Murong Xiangming to be so reliable.

"Jiang Chen, inside there’s a sword I bought for you at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion. Are you satisfied with it?"

Murong Xiangming, still full of gratitude for Jiang Chen, asked.

He smiled and nodded. "Very satisfied. Miss Murong, I am very satisfied with how you handle things."

He took out the sword, a Top-Grade Treasure Artifact.

A drop of his blood fell onto the sword.

Instantly, Jiang Chen learned that the sword was called the Cloud Mist Sword.

And it was a Top-Grade Treasure Artifact.

Treasure Artifacts were already quite rare Magical Treasures. As for Spiritual Treasures, which were above Treasure Artifacts, they were naturally even rarer.

You couldn’t necessarily buy one even if you had the money.

And even with his three hundred million spirit crystals, Jiang Chen couldn’t buy a Spiritual Treasure.

That was just how it was.

Most good Magical Treasures were coveted by all Martial Cultivators; no one would be willing to sell them.

A Top-Grade Treasure Artifact was already quite good.

At least he could use it for a while.

Though he wasn’t completely satisfied, his own abilities were limited for now. Even if he obtained a more powerful Magical Treasure, he wouldn’t necessarily be able to unleash its full potential.

This Cloud Mist Sword, paired with his Shadowless Sword Technique, would make his technique even more powerful.

"As long as you’re satisfied. I was worried you wouldn’t be."

"After all, Magical Treasures of the Spirit Treasure Level are simply too rare."

Murong Xiangming didn’t dwell on it. If she could have gotten something better for Jiang Chen, she would have.

She then said to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, some favors are too great for mere thanks."

"I have some things to take care of for now, so I’ll be taking my leave."

"Once I’m done, I’ll find you to catch up."

With that, her exquisite figure departed from the reception hall.

But as she left, the cold light in her eyes grew increasingly intense.

Seeing this, Master Tian Mu’s expression changed.

He hurriedly asked, "Young Miss, where are you going?"

"Are you going to the Alchemy Master Guild?"

He had a faint feeling that his young miss was on the verge of exploding and was about to cause a huge uproar in Hanwu City.

"I will handle my own affairs personally."

Murong Xiangming was, after all, an expert with Martial King Cultivation.

In Hanwu City, she had almost no rival.

Master Tian Mu knew exactly what she planned to do.

Jiang Chen knew as well.

Jiang Chen immediately shot to his feet and said loudly, "Miss Murong, don’t be rash!"

"The Alchemy Master Guild is not as simple as you think."

He was a Senior Steward of the Alchemy Master Guild. Although he hadn’t yet fully grasped its inner workings, he knew the guild had hidden strengths.

If Murong Xiangming went looking for trouble with the Qin father and son now, she might find herself in danger instead.

So, he had to give her a word of warning.

"Thank you, I know."

"But a debt of hatred must eventually be repaid."

As for Murong Xiangming’s temperament, she was an absolutely proud peacock.

She wouldn’t allow anyone to take advantage of her.

Since the Qin Family dared to harm her, she would make them pay the price in blood.

Dressed in red, she walked out of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion without pause.

"Damn that Qin father and son."

Watching this unfold, Master Tian Mu knew he probably couldn’t stop his young miss.

He gave Jiang Chen a wry smile. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Jiang Chen, my apologies. I must go and help our young miss."

"Farewell."

With that brief farewell, he immediately ran outside.

Considering the young miss’s current fury, it would be extremely dangerous for her to charge into the Alchemy Master Guild alone. Master Tian Mu naturally couldn’t stand by and do nothing; he had to go help her and seek justice together.

At the same time, he bellowed, "Men, with me!"

In an instant, a group of experts from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion—all powerful cultivators at the Martial Artist level or above—appeared with a WHOOSH. Dozens of them followed Master Tian Mu out of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

Jiang Chen, however, was left behind, with no one to attend to him.

He shook his head with a wry smile.

’Looks like I have to make a trip to the Alchemy Master Guild as well,’ he thought.

He knew this battle would be the final showdown between Hanwu City’s two great powers: the Treasure Elephant Pavilion and the Alchemy Master Guild.

At the same time, Jiang Chen suddenly had a feeling that this battle would also be a fateful trial for the Hanwu City branch of the Alchemy Master Guild.

A wild glint flashed in his eyes.

’Should I make my move as well?’

Jiang Chen stood up, a divine light flickering unceasingly in his eyes.

Then, he strode swiftly outside.

Many of the people at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion had no idea what was going on.

Lu Ming was still completely in the dark.

Everything seemed to be happening in such a rush.

The young miss, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, had stormed out radiating killing intent, and no one could stop her.

Then, Master Tian Mu had merely ordered the Treasure Elephant Pavilion to be put on high alert before leaving with a large group of experts.

The next person he saw was Jiang Chen.

He hurriedly stopped Jiang Chen and asked in bewilderment, "Young Master Jiang Chen, what in the world is going on?"

"The young miss...?"

He simply couldn’t comprehend the current atmosphere.

Jiang Chen said coolly, "The heavens are about to change over Hanwu City."

"Guard the Treasure Elephant Pavilion well. Who will live and who will die is not yet known."

"Be ready to provide support for your people at any moment."

"I’m leaving now."

Lu Ming was completely dumbfounded.

Nevertheless, he quickly arranged for the Treasure Elephant Pavilion to be put on high alert and bolster its defenses.

The atmosphere was eerie.

Because of the movements at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, the whole of Hanwu City was instantly blanketed by a murderous aura.
