Divine War Pill Emperor

The Qin Family of Guyue City was the city’s most powerful clan.

Aside from the City Lord’s Mansion, the Alchemy Master Guild, and merchant guilds like the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, no other power could compare to the Qin Family.

The Qin Family was also teeming with masters.

Especially recently, the Patriarch of the Qin Family, Qin Yun, had even broken through to the Martial King realm, making him incredibly powerful.

At this moment, the members of the Qin Family were all seated in the clan’s main hall, discussing a matter of great importance.

Patriarch Qin Yun scanned his surroundings, his expression somewhat grim.

He suddenly spoke, ”Fellow clansmen, a year ago, my daughter Muxue went to Hanwu City to annul her engagement to Jiang Chen, son of the Jiang Family’s Patriarch, Jiang Han. Unfortunately, she failed.”

”But that piece of trash declared that in one year, he would come to our Qin Family and serve us with a letter of annulment.”

”What are your thoughts on this?”

The thought of that waste, Jiang Chen—who had lost his Martial Vein yet still refused to annul the engagement with his daughter—made Qin Yun furious.

He had only refrained from handling it personally out of concern for his reputation.

As a result, his daughter had returned in failure.

To make matters worse, Elder Resentment, who had been accompanying his daughter, had even been injured. This sent him into a humiliated rage.

He was thoroughly displeased with Jiang Chen.

Of course, Jiang Chen’s threat to serve them with a letter of annulment in a year was, for the Qin Family, an absolutely immense humiliation.

Not only would his daughter be unable to show her face in public, but if Jiang Chen actually succeeded, the Qin Family would lose all face as well.

Naturally, they could not allow Jiang Chen to serve them with this letter.

As the Patriarch finished speaking, the clan’s main hall immediately broke out in a flurry of whispers, with every clan member discussing the matter.

Finally, someone stood up.

He said loudly, ”Patriarch, in my opinion, this is simple. We can send someone to warn the Jiang Family in Hanwu City. Once they understand the might of the Qin Family, they won’t dare to show up with a letter of annulment.”

A clan member had suggested intimidating the Jiang Family with force.

He was clearly a man who favored violence.

His words immediately drew agreement from many others.

”That’s right! How can we, the Qin Family, be humiliated by a minor family like the Jiangs? If they come here to serve us a letter of annulment, it would be a tremendous insult to our family!”

”This absolutely cannot be allowed to happen! We have to make the Jiang Family shut their mouths.”

”Exactly! What does the Jiang Family even count for? Our Young Miss is on such good terms with the Second Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom. When she marries him, she’ll be the Princess Consort—a station of supreme nobility, second only to the king himself. How incredibly noble!”

”That Jiang Chen from the Jiang Family is just a wet-behind-the-ears brat without even a Martial Vein. How is a waste like that even worthy of our Young Miss?”

Qin Yun shook his head.

”You’re all thinking too simply. According to the information I’ve received, that Jiang Chen has already regained his Martial Vein. His Cultivation is now at least at the Third or Fourth Heaven of the Samurai realm.”

”Furthermore, the Jiang Family’s Patriarch, Jiang Han, has also broken through to the Martial King realm.”

What?!

Upon hearing Patriarch Qin Yun’s words, many members of the Qin Family were utterly shocked.

”How is that possible?”

”That waste actually regained his Martial Vein? How did he do it? After all, the Jiang Family’s strength is nowhere near enough to allow a waste to regain a Martial Vein.”

”Yeah, and Jiang Han... his Cultivation actually broke through to the Martial King realm? That’s just unbelievable! I remember a year ago, Jiang Han’s Cultivation was only at the Sixth or Seventh Heaven of the Martial Artist realm. To break through so much in one year... it has to be a rumor, right?”

Many in the Qin Family refused to believe it.

After all, for Jiang Han’s Cultivation to advance so quickly was simply too bizarre.

Jiang Chen regaining his Martial Vein was even more unbelievable.

Qin Yun said gravely, ”The Jiang Family of today is not much weaker than our Qin Family.”

”And that Jiang Chen... he’s proven to be quite remarkable. Not only did he regain his Martial Vein, but his Cultivation has also reached the Third and Fourth Heavens of the Samurai realm.”

As he spoke, he once again glanced at his clansmen.

”That is why I’ve asked you all to devise a plan to deal with the Jiang Family.”

This time, the clansmen fell silent. Clearly, with the Jiang Family’s great increase in strength and Jiang Chen having regained his Martial Vein, the situation had changed.

There had to be many hidden secrets behind it all.

It was just that the Qin Family didn’t know what they were.

Another clan member stood up.

”Patriarch, even though the Jiang Family’s strength has greatly increased and Jiang Chen has bizarrely regained his Martial Vein, it’s still no big deal.”

”In the next couple of days, Muxue will be returning from the Gambling City in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s Capital. She will definitely have experts from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom protecting her.”

”With our Qin Family’s strength, plus their help, if anyone from the Jiang Family shows up, we’ll just kill them. We have nothing to fear from the Jiang Family.”

The thought of Qin Muxue’s close relationship with the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s Second Prince instantly lifted the Qin clansmen’s spirits. They grew ecstatic, as if they’d been shot full of adrenaline.

After all, the Fire Sparrow Kingdom was a true behemoth. For their Qin Family to have latched onto the Second Prince would bring them endless benefits.

Qin Muxue would be accompanied by at least one Martial King Expert.

Therefore, the Qin Family was not worried about the Jiang Family in the slightest.

Qin Yun nodded.

A vicious glint flashed in his eyes.

”If the Jiang Family insists on coming to serve us this letter, then our Qin Family will indeed not hold back.”

”After all, this matter concerns our family’s honor and reputation.”

The Qin Family discussed it further.

Finally, Qin Yun gave an order, ”I will go to the City Lord’s Mansion and ask them to help us keep an eye on the Jiang Family’s movements. That will make it easier to deal with them.”

In order to stop the Jiang Family from delivering the letter of annulment, the Qin Family began making extensive arrangements throughout Guyue City.

「Two days later.」

The members of the Qin Family, including Patriarch Qin Yun himself, were all waiting for someone outside Guyue City.

It was an imposing display.

”Well, I’ll be. Patriarch Qin Yun of the Qin Family is here in person. They must be waiting for someone. I wonder who could be important enough to make the Qin Patriarch come out himself?”

”I heard that Qin Yun’s daughter, Qin Muxue, is coming back.”

”For real?”

”Of course it’s real. The Qin Muxue of today has caught the eye of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s Second Prince. Her status is incredibly noble now.”

”I heard she’s returning to Guyue City and is even being escorted by experts from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom. It’s all very impressive.”

”Wow, I’m so jealous. By connecting with the Second Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, the Qin Family’s future will be filled with endless wealth and prosperity.”

Seeing the Qin Family waiting for Qin Muxue’s return, many onlookers wore expressions of envy.

The Qin Family was already a major clan in Guyue City. Now that Qin Muxue was involved with the Second Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, it was a case of ”when one person rises, their whole family rises with them.” The Qin Family was sure to reap immense benefits.

At the same time, someone asked curiously, ”Why is Qin Muxue suddenly returning from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom?”

His question piqued the curiosity of many others.

”Shh! Don’t just ask questions like that.”

”I heard her return this time has something to do with the engagement she made years ago with the Jiang Family of Hanwu City.”

”What’s the story?”

”The Jiang Family... they’re coming to our Guyue City to serve the Qin Family with a letter of annulment. They’re going to annul the engagement with Qin Muxue... ahem, I’ve said too much. I’m done talking, I’m done. Saying any more will just bring trouble my way.”

Around noon, a luxurious procession of carriages slowly appeared outside Guyue City.

The procession came to a halt at the gates of Guyue City, right in front of the Qin Family.

Immediately, a stunningly beautiful woman emerged from one of the carriages.

The woman wore a snow-white long dress, looking as ethereal as a fairy.
