Chapter 204: Chapter 203: One Man Is Enough

"Jiang Chen, what in the world was that technique?"

"Was that an Array?"

Master Tian Mu was stunned. He stared at Jiang Chen, who had just landed, a thousand questions swirling in his mind.

He had never studied Arrays and knew nothing about them; he had hardly even seen a few in his life.

What Jiang Chen had created was a masterpiece of incredible, almost supernatural, craftsmanship, leaving him in a state of bewildered contemplation.

"That’s right. This is an Array from my Jiang Family."

"What do you two think of its power?"

He glanced at the utterly priceless expressions on Master Tian Mu and Murong Xiangming’s faces and knew they had been completely floored by his move.

This was the source of his earlier confidence.

Once his Infinite Sword Array was unleashed, the Eight Great Martial Kings were utterly defenseless.

And now, they were all lying at his father’s feet.

"The power is immense."

"Incredible, simply incredible."

Master Tian Mu was full of praise, his admiration genuine.

Thinking back to their desperate situation just moments ago, he felt an immense sense of relief. Master Qin had clearly used his last resort and was no longer a threat to them.

The Treasure Elephant Pavilion was also safe.

If not for Jiang Chen’s great Array, they would have been killed by Master Qin, and the Treasure Elephant Pavilion would have eventually been destroyed by him as well. The consequences would have been unimaginable.

This feeling of turning defeat into victory was truly wonderful, even if he wasn’t the one who had won the battle.

Murong Xiangming’s gaze, as she looked at Jiang Chen, was also filled with a peculiar brilliance.

This was hardly surprising. For a proud and haughty woman like Murong Xiangming, ordinary men were beneath her notice.

Even someone as outstanding as Qin Lie had failed to move her in the slightest.

Besides, from the very first time she met Jiang Chen, she had felt an inexplicable connection between them.

She had felt an unaccountable fondness for him.

Now, Jiang Chen’s performance had far exceeded her expectations, sending continuous ripples through her heart.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled, but she said nothing.

Jiang Chen then turned his attention to the Eight Great Martial King Experts at his father’s feet.

He said to Jiang Han, "Dad, things are settled here. I’m going to the Alchemy Master Guild to take care of some business."

The Eight Great Martial Kings had been subdued by him, but Master Qin had escaped.

That man was a definite liability, and Jiang Chen had no intention of letting someone like him continue to live in Hanwu City.

Killing intent welled up inside him.

Now that they were openly hostile toward each other, there was no need to hold back.

When it was time to strike, he would strike.

"We’ll go together."

Jiang Han was worried that it would be dangerous for Jiang Chen to go to the Alchemy Master Guild alone.

"Master Qin has escaped. It’s too dangerous for you to go to the Alchemy Master Guild by yourself."

"With me around, no one will be able to threaten you."

But Jiang Chen waved his hand dismissively.

"Dad, what remains is an internal matter for the Alchemy Master Guild. It wouldn’t be appropriate for outsiders to interfere."

"Let me handle it. I’m more than enough."

Though he was certainly confident, he still had to take some precautions.

In truth, what was left was indeed an internal affair of the Alchemy Master Guild.

If an outsider were to get involved in their internal affairs, it would only cause more trouble. He needed to solve this problem alone.

Murong Xiangming said, "I’ll go help you."

But Jiang Chen refused her as well.

"No need. I have people in mind."

He bent down, looked at the unconscious Eight Great Martial King Experts on the ground, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Eight Pills appeared in his hand out of thin air.

Heart Control Pills. Jiang Chen had quite a few Heart Control Pills on hand, and he fed one to each of the eight Martial King Experts.

With the Heart Control Pills, Jiang Chen could control the Martial King Experts.

Then he said to his father, "Dad, undo the seals on them."

Jiang Han had no choice but to undo the seals he had placed on them.

"Huh?"

The first Martial King Expert awoke with a start and quickly looked up.

He expected to see a dense canopy of swords above him, but instead, he saw the blue sky, which left him momentarily dazed.

He remained stunned for a long moment.

Jiang Chen, however, said coolly, "Stop gawking. Follow me."

The Martial King Expert felt his body move against his will, rising to follow Jiang Chen.

The other seven Martial King Experts did the same, following Jiang Chen.

They were completely under Jiang Chen’s control.

Jiang Chen didn’t dare to be careless about this matter.

If Martial King Experts weren’t kept firmly under his control, they could easily put him in a perilous situation.

He had many techniques at his disposal, but he lacked ones specifically for controlling Martial Kings.

Fortunately, the Heart Control Pills could control Martial King Experts.

Watching the Martial King Experts trail after Jiang Chen,

Jiang Han, who had long been aware of his son’s methods, was still slightly shocked.

Murong Xiangming and Master Tian Mu both gasped again.

They finally realized that Jiang Chen’s methods were far more terrifying than they had imagined. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

To control the Eight Great Martial King Experts so easily...

With Jiang Chen as he was now, who in Hanwu City could possibly be his opponent?

He had the Eight Great Martial Kings as his guards and that bizarre Infinite Sword Array.

’This guy... you really can’t see through him.’

Master Tian Mu gave a wry smile.

He suddenly glanced at Murong Xiangming beside him and noticed that the young lady’s eyes were shining as she watched Jiang Chen.

He instantly understood something.

He had his suspicions before, but now it seemed his young lady had taken a liking to Jiang Chen.

Previously, he would have been the first to object. But now... ’Whatever happens, happens,’ Master Tian Mu thought. ’At any rate, I won’t oppose it.’

Besides, Jiang Chen was a great benefactor to their Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

Jiang Chen led the Eight Great Martial King Experts straight to the Alchemy Master Guild.

This was why Jiang Chen had spared the Eight Great Martial Kings.

He could control the Eight Great Martial Kings. Previously, they were controlled by Master Qin; now that they had fallen into his hands, they were controlled by him.

The situation had been completely reversed.

Master Tian Mu watched Jiang Chen’s departing figure, then turned to Jiang Han and clasped his hands in a slight bow. "Patriarch Jiang, congratulations. I never expected you to break through to the Martial King Realm. This is truly a joyous occasion."

Jiang Han smiled humbly.

"Thank you."

He also gave Murong Xiangming a few extra glances. After breaking through in his Cultivation, his perspective had also changed.

Seeing Murong Xiangming interacting with his son so often, his gaze became rather meaningful.

This caused Murong Xiangming to blush slightly.

She hastily edged a little farther away.

Then, suddenly recalling the matter of the pursuit, he asked, "Master Tian Mu, how did you end up fighting with Master Qin?"

"Wasn’t your young lady supposed to be marrying Master Qin’s son, Qin Lie?"

"The wedding is in three days, isn’t it? What happened?"

Master Tian Mu grew furious. Just speaking of the matter sent a chill down his spine.

"It’s all that bastard Master Qin’s fault! He and his son poisoned our young lady and controlled her. That’s the only reason she agreed to the marriage proposal."

"It was all a conspiracy."

"As it happened, your son, Jiang Chen, suddenly did us a huge favor. He cured the young lady’s poison, allowing her to regain her senses. In her rage, she stormed the Alchemy Master Guild."

"I was afraid something would happen to the young lady, so I went to help."

"Our young lady struck and killed Qin Lie, who had plotted against her. Then that Master Qin actually came charging out with the Eight Great Martial Kings. We were no match for them, so we could only flee for our lives."

"The strength of the Alchemy Master Guild is truly terrifying."

After hearing the whole story, Jiang Han sighed with emotion.

The whole affair was truly bizarre.

But Master Tian Mu spoke again, "Jiang Han, you’ve raised a fine son."
