196: Murong Gui

Cangzhou City, Aotian Pill Pavilion.

Because both battles during the day ended in failure, the grand opening that Aotian Pill Pavilion had meticulously prepared for was utterly ruined.

Especially the fake Southern Region Poison King who appeared at the end.

He made all of Aotian Pill Pavilion's reputation into a joke.

In fact, everyone who mentioned Aotian Pill Pavilion had to say a few words about it.

At the same time.

Inside the Aotian Pill Pavilion's meeting hall.

The Purple-Robed Alchemist from earlier in the day was now kneeling on the ground like a humble old dog.

“Saint… Saint, it’s truly not our fault. That kid is indeed a bit strange!”

The Purple-Robed Alchemist said, trembling as he knelt on the ground.

At this moment, a young man was sitting on a seat, his back to the Purple-Robed Alchemist.

On the wall in front of the young man hung a large character: Dao.

Hearing the Purple-Robed Alchemist's words, the young man seemed to have little reaction.

Instead, this silence made the Purple-Robed Alchemist feel even more uneasy, and his body trembled more violently.

Finally, after what seemed like a long wait.

The young man, who had his back to the Purple-Robed Alchemist, finally spoke.

“If it weren’t for the fact that your father and your grandfather are both serving my lineage, I would have long since refined you into a Puppet.”

“You are useless for success and only cause trouble.”

“Since Jiang Chen could kill Jintie City, how could he be an ordinary person?”

The young man slowly stood up.

When he turned around, a pair of light golden eyes were revealed.

Those eyes gave people a feeling of deterrence.

The Purple-Robed Alchemist immediately prostrated himself even lower.

“The Saint’s lesson is right!”

The person before him was one of the Saints of the Fenglan Sword Sect.

Murong Gui!

At this moment, Murong Gui glanced indifferently at the Purple-Robed Alchemist on the ground.

“Now, what do you say we should do?”

Murong Gui asked.

The Purple-Robed Alchemist immediately looked up, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes.

“Saint, rest assured, I will immediately contact a fifth-grade Alchemist and have him come to assist. We will definitely not lose the competition three days from now.”

Upon hearing this, Murong Gui.

Directly stepped forward and kicked the Purple-Robed Alchemist.

“I’ll contact your mother!”

“Can you guarantee that Jiang Chen won’t find a fifth-grade Alchemist? Can you damn well guarantee we’ll win!?”

“Call for people, you idiot!”

“How can we let that kid live for three more days!?”

Murong Gui roared.

With these useless subordinates, how could his great ambition not be realized!

“Yes… yes… this subordinate understands…”

The Purple-Robed Alchemist quickly said.

However, just as he reached the door, the Purple-Robed Alchemist suddenly stopped.

“Uh… Saint… who… should we call?”

Although he was trying his best to think.

But for a moment, he couldn’t recall who exactly they were supposed to call.

Should they call the Fenglan Sword Sect’s assassination team?

But the assassination team was not something he could mobilize.

At least six Elders within the Sect would need to sign an approval order.

He couldn't mobilize them by himself.

“Call your mother!”

“Still calling, calling, calling!”

“Call the strongest assassin group in the region over here!”

Murong Gui wished he could twist the person in front of him into a pretzel right now.

“Yes… I’ll go right away…”

The Purple-Robed Alchemist also reacted.

Although calling an assassin group would be more expensive, they were known for their excellent work.

They wouldn’t collect the final payment if the mission wasn’t completed.

The strongest in the region… that meant the strongest in the entire Spirit Azure.

The Purple-Robed Alchemist took a deep breath.

He didn’t know if they were the strongest, but he did know that this group of people was famously good at handling things.

If he entrusted the mission to them, there shouldn't be any problems.

Although the price would be more expensive.

But since the Saint was backing him, he didn't need to worry about it. He had already lost two hundred thousand Spirit Stones just because of Jiang Chen.

Inside the room, Murong Gui also continuously adjusted his mindset.

He had already dealt with the demonic sky flower through other means.

The reason he let the Jin family act was also a way for Murong Gui to train his troops.

He needed to know if his subordinates were capable.

Whether he had usable people under him, and whether things could be done.

Now he knew.

There wasn't a single capable one.

He spent a lot of money.

But not a single thing got done!

How could Murong Gui not be angry?

“Empress Dalan… I am on the verge of Breakthrough to the Heavenly Martial Realm. Once I Breakthrough, you will have no choice but to marry me!”

“You want this thing called Jiang Chen to resist me?”

“What will he use to resist!”

“I will make you completely submit at my feet!”

Murong Gui’s eyes were filled with ambition.

At this moment, within Ziyun Villa.

After Jiang Chen guided Cheng Yurou in her Cultivation.

A fine drizzle began to fall outside the window.

Then another clap of thunder boomed.

Cangzhou City’s weather was quite changeable.

“Rourou, it’s cold, put on more clothes.”

“I’m going to sit on the roof.”

“Ah… ? Go to the roof to do what?”

Cheng Yurou’s body stiffened.

She… she naturally wouldn’t refuse Jiang Chen.

It’s just that for such matters, she still needed to do some mental preparation.

After all, this was indeed a bit much.

“Thinking crooked again?”

“I’m going to the roof to Cultivate. You go to sleep early…”

Jiang Chen flicked Cheng Yurou’s head.

Cheng Yurou immediately cried out and clutched her head.

“Okay, then I’ll go to sleep first.”

The Xia Sisters were not here.

Yang Shishi was also not here.

Now all the 'firepower' was focused on her.

Normally, she didn't feel anything, but today, she thought she should be able to withstand it with her Spirit Martial Realm Cultivation. However, she didn't expect to still be utterly exhausted.

So Cheng Yurou still underestimated Xiao Chen.

After all, it wasn’t possible to drag Butler Li into it too.

Jiang Chen flew onto the rooftop.

After observing for a while on the roof, Jiang Chen continued to use his movement Divine Ability, quickly rushing towards the mountain peak.

The summit of this Purple Cloud Mountain was quite high.

After all, at the peak, one could feel the power of the lightning more clearly.

“Spiritual Manifestation Divine Ability.”

“Lightning Summoning Art…”

Jiang Chen had been looking for an opportunity to Cultivate this Spiritual Manifestation Divine Ability these past few days.

“Using the power of one’s own Spiritual Manifestation to draw down heavenly thunder?”

Jiang Chen sat cross-legged.

Then he focused his attention on the Spiritual Manifestation miniature figure.

He began to Cultivate according to the method recorded in the Lightning Summoning Art.

Above the Void Realm, wind and thunder roared.

Jiang Chen felt somewhat nervous, after all, who wouldn't be nervous about being struck by lightning.

Finally, when Jiang Chen, relying on his talent, mastered the method, he drew down the first bolt of heavenly thunder.

“Boom!”
