When they heard Jiang Chen say they could turn the tables by returning to the Jiang Family, both Master Tian Mu and Murong Xiangming were skeptical.

’Are you kidding? With the Jiang Family’s strength, how could they possibly fend off eight Martial King Experts?’

Even if Jiang Chen had set something up, it wouldn’t be enough.

Seeing the two remain unconvinced, Jiang Chen grew angry.

"Let me go! If you want to run, then run on your own."

To still be disbelieved at a time like this... How could he, a former Pill Emperor, tolerate being protected by a woman?

His methods for self-preservation were formidable, yet they were being completely ignored.

It was enough to drive him mad.

After all, he couldn’t fly on his own. He needed Murong Xiangming to take him to the Jiang Family estate.

With his current cultivation, he would never make it to the Jiang Family in time; Master Qin’s men would surely kill him along the way.

The more they delayed, the worse their situation became.

But Murong Xiangming had no intention of letting Jiang Chen go.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Fine. You said it. We’ll go to the Jiang Family."

"But once we’re at your family’s estate, we’ll have no more chances to escape."

Master Tian Mu also found it hard to believe that the Jiang Family could have any powerful tricks up their sleeve.

Jiang Chen’s cultivation was plain to see—merely Warrior Fifth Heaven.

And as for the Jiang Family, their Patriarch, Jiang Han, had a cultivation of at most Martial Master Seventh or Eighth Heaven.

They knew this very well. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

However, Murong Xiangming suddenly decided to listen to Jiang Chen.

She turned to Master Tian Mu and said, "Pavilion Master Tian Mu, we’re going to the Jiang Family estate."

"Our chances are slim either way."

She was putting it all on the line. She could disbelieve anyone else, but she chose to trust Jiang Chen.

Even she didn’t know why.

’Is Jiang Chen truly worthy of my trust?’

Shaking her head, she didn’t dwell on it.

The three of them headed straight for the Jiang Family estate.

Only then did Jiang Chen feel a sense of relief.

If Murong Xiangming hadn’t listened to him, the three of them would have truly been cornered.

Once they reached the Jiang Family estate, everything would change completely.

To reassure Murong Xiangming, Jiang Chen said decisively, "If I get you killed, I will take my own life to atone for it."

Murong Xiangming shook her head.

"Let’s focus on surviving first."

The great battle between Treasure Elephant Pavilion and the Alchemist Guild in Hanwu City had long since become public knowledge.

At this moment, on the streets below, many people saw the two figures flying through the air and stared with their mouths agape in utter shock.

"Look! Heavens, Martial King Experts! They’re all Martial King Experts!"

"Why have so many Martial King Experts suddenly appeared in Hanwu City?"

"That’s Pavilion Master Tian Mu of Treasure Elephant Pavilion! And look, that’s Murong Xiangming! She actually has a Martial King’s cultivation too!"

Just then, a resounding ROAR filled the air.

Many people were even more horrified to discover...

...another eight figures flying through the sky.

Everyone was scared stiff.

"GULP..."

Countless people swallowed hard, their mouths hanging open and their eyes wide.

"Another eight Martial King Experts! Where did they come from?"

"They seem to be from the Alchemist Guild."

"They’re wearing the uniforms of the Alchemist Guild’s guards."

A well-informed busybody immediately started spreading the news.

"So, you guys don’t know the story?"

"Qin Lie, the son of the President of the Alchemist Guild, poisoned Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s Young Mistress, Murong Xiangming. He controlled her and tried to force her to marry him."

"Heh, but who would have thought? Murong Xiangming unexpectedly cured the poison herself, stormed the Alchemist Guild, killed Qin Lie, and got her revenge."

"And now, President Qin wants to avenge his son. He’s brought out all of the Alchemist Guild’s hidden forces to kill the people from Treasure Elephant Pavilion."

"What? Something so dramatic actually happened?"

Many listeners were baffled, finding the story almost too fantastical to believe.

It was one shocking turn of events after another.

Master Qin watched Murong Xiangming and Master Tian Mu flee ahead of him, a cold sneer on his face.

"You want to escape? Do you really think you can?"

"Give up. You will all die today, without a doubt."

A Martial King Expert carried him through the air, his face a mask of fury.

He was shouting and screaming, spittle flying from his mouth.

But the three people ahead paid him no mind, focused only on escaping with their lives.

For the moment, Master Qin’s people couldn’t quite catch up.

"Huh? They’re not leaving the city?"

"Where are they trying to run?"

Master Qin suddenly realized that the trio had no intention of escaping Hanwu City. Instead, they were fleeing toward the southeastern part of the city.

This filled him with suspicion.

At the same time, he was overcome with ecstatic joy.

"They’re simply digging their own graves! If you had fled Hanwu City, I might not have been able to kill you. But since you’re staying in Hanwu City, you are as good as dead!"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

His son’s death had driven him mad.

How could he possibly let the three of them go?

Especially Murong Xiangming, and of course, that damnable Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had foiled his plans time and time again.

This time, he would kill Jiang Chen without any regard for his master.

"Hurry! We’re almost at the Jiang Family estate!"

Jiang Chen urged Murong Xiangming and Master Tian Mu.

They were getting closer and closer to the Jiang Family estate.

Meanwhile, the Jiang Family was still basking in the joy of their recent victory.

With the demise of the Bai Family and the Ximen Family, the Jiang Family had leaped to become the number one family in Hanwu City.

They were unrivaled.

The victory had thrilled all the members of the Jiang Family.

As Patriarch, Jiang Han’s position was now more secure than ever.

The Jiang Family had abundant resources, and their power was growing by the day.

Most importantly, their wealth was steadily accumulating.

Of course, what made Jiang Han most proud was the Infinite Sword Array his son had left for the Jiang Family.

The Infinite Sword Array had now become terrifyingly powerful.

If the Sword Array were activated, it could cover the entirety of Hanwu City.

Neither Treasure Elephant Pavilion nor the Alchemist Guild could escape the range of the Infinite Sword Array.

In its current state, any Martial King Expert who entered the Infinite Sword Array would be instantly and utterly annihilated.

Its power was horrifying.

This was also the source of Jiang Han’s immense pride.

If one were to ask which power in Hanwu City was the most stable, the answer would undoubtedly be the Jiang Family.

"Treasure Elephant Pavilion, the Alchemist Guild, the City Lord’s Mansion... none of them can compare to our Jiang Family."

Jiang Han believed this with extreme confidence.

"Father, help me!"

Just as Jiang Han was in the middle of his cultivation, a sudden cry for help reached him.

Hearing the cry, Jiang Han was stunned.

’My son! That’s my son!’

Jiang Chen’s cry for help instantly alarmed the entire, currently flourishing, Jiang Family.

The members of the Jiang Family sprang into action.

Everyone was horrified to see two experts flying toward them through the air.

Seeing the two masters flying in mid-air, they all gasped.

"Martial King Experts! Two Martial King Experts!"

"Quick, get the Patriarch!"

The Jiang Family panicked. Martial King Experts were terrifyingly powerful.

No one in their Jiang Family was a match for a Martial King Expert.

However, the Jiang Family members knew that they had hidden Martial King Experts serving as the family’s guards.

Those guards were under the direct control of the Patriarch.

SWOOSH!

A figure soared into the sky.

It was the Jiang Family Patriarch, Jiang Han.

"Who goes there?"

Jiang Han appeared in the sky above the Jiang Family estate, hovering in the air. An aura of Martial King Cultivation radiated from his entire body.

What?

The members of the Jiang Family saw their Patriarch appear, but they were shocked to see that his cultivation had actually reached the level of a Martial King.

This invigorated the entire Jiang Family.

"Patriarch!"

"Heavens, it’s the Patriarch! The Patriarch actually broke through to the Martial King Realm!"
