Chapter 249: Chapter 247: Fire Sparrow Order
The thought of the Fire Sparrow Order brightened Wen Bufan’s mood instantly, and he rushed off to find his father, Wen Quan.
Inside a room, Wen Quan looked at his son, Wen Bufan.
He had, of course, heard about everything that had happened.
"So, the Jiang Family got the better of you?"
He asked calmly.
Wen Bufan looked embarrassed. He had expected a swift and decisive victory, thinking he could crush the Jiang Family in one fell swoop. Instead, Jiang Chen had single-handedly snuffed out his efforts.
The Jiang Family had turned defeat into victory.
It was a tremendous humiliation.
"Father, that Jiang Chen is bizarre. Not only did he not lose his Cultivation after his Martial Vein was torn out, but his Cultivation is actually quite high. In just a short time, he’s already reached the Warrior Seventh Heaven."
"What’s even more bizarre is that he has other abilities that are completely incomprehensible."
Thinking about it left Wen Bufan frustrated.
He had suffered repeated setbacks at Jiang Chen’s hands, losing to him twice in a row.
Wen Quan nodded, his expression suddenly turning serious. "I know."
"Jiang Chen has a powerful Alchemist master backing him. It wouldn’t have been difficult for him to regain his Martial Vein."
"Furthermore, he’s an Alchemist himself. He’s joined the Alchemist Guild and is now its President."
What?
Wen Bufan’s face went pale with shock.
"Father, are you serious?"
"Jiang Chen is the President of the Alchemist Guild now?"
Wen Bufan hadn’t known about this.
He was stunned. The President of the Alchemist Guild was no simple position.
"Correct. The news just came in."
"That Jiang Chen... his Alchemy Skill is extraordinary."
Wen Quan had also been shocked when he heard the news.
After all, the Alchemist Guild had replaced its President but kept the matter confidential. If not for an informant, he would have remained completely in the dark.
’How terrifying. In the blink of an eye, President Qin has become President Jiang.’
Wen Bufan sucked in a sharp breath.
"That kid is that powerful?"
"How did he become the President of the Alchemist Guild?"
This bombshell news made Wen Bufan grind his teeth in hatred for Jiang Chen.
’No wonder I keep getting thwarted by him. That Jiang Chen really is a tough opponent.’
Wen Quan only knew the gist of it, not the fine details.
After a brief explanation, he said in a heavy tone, "It seems the Jiang Family has become quite difficult to handle."
"However, even with Jiang Chen as the President of the Alchemist Guild, the Jiang Family is still under the jurisdiction of our City Lord’s Mansion."
This matter had deeply unsettled Wen Quan. He believed Jiang Chen’s ability to become the President of the Alchemist Guild so quickly and quietly was most likely thanks to that mysterious master of his.
"Damn it! It’s just because he has some powerful master backing him."
Wen Bufan seethed with anger.
Then, he said to Wen Quan, "Jiang Chen may have made a fool of me this time, but I refuse to accept it."
"Father, I want to use the Fire Sparrow Order against the Jiang Family."
"The moment we present the Fire Sparrow Order, the Jiang Family won’t dare to resist."
"Then, I’ll annihilate the Jiang Family in one fell swoop and kill that bastard Jiang Chen."
After much consideration, he had finally decided to use the Fire Sparrow Order to cow the Jiang Family.
Wen Quan’s brow furrowed.
"The Fire Sparrow Order represents the authority of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom. It is not to be used lightly."
He knew the significance of the Fire Sparrow Order; it could not be used without good reason.
Using the Fire Sparrow Order always signified that something major was happening.
Using the Fire Sparrow Order just to deal with the Jiang Family was a bit of an overreaction.
But considering how quickly the Jiang Family was growing, Wen Quan began to worry they might threaten the City Lord’s Mansion’s position.
In the end, he agreed.
"Fine. Use the Fire Sparrow Order this time. I want you to slaughter the entire Jiang Family."
As he spoke, a light flashed in Wen Quan’s hand, revealing a red token.
Engraved on the token was a red Fire Sparrow.
The Fire Sparrow was the Guardian Beast of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.
Legend said that the Fire Sparrow was a descendant of the Vermilion Bird.
Although its bloodline wasn’t pure, it did indeed possess the blood of the Vermilion Bird.
It was incredibly powerful.
"Father, I will definitely wipe out the Jiang Family."
Wen Bufan was overjoyed.
He couldn’t believe he had actually gotten his hands on the Fire Sparrow Order.
Holding the Fire Sparrow Order, Wen Bufan was absolutely thrilled.
His hands trembled slightly.
The Fire Sparrow Order constantly emanated waves of scorching heat.
An ordinary person would be burned just by holding it.
Fortunately, a Martial Cultivator possessed enough power to resist the heat.
"Father, I’m going to the Jiang Family’s estate now."
With the Fire Sparrow Order in hand, Wen Bufan didn’t want to linger a moment longer. He just wanted to destroy the Jiang Family as quickly as possible.
But Wen Quan warned him, "Be careful with the Fire Sparrow Order."
"Don’t use it rashly. Remember that."
"Yes, Father. I’ll remember."
Then, Wen Bufan set off for the Jiang Family’s estate once again, taking Lin Hai, the Martial King Puppet, and over a thousand guards with him.
The whole way there, his eyes were filled with a vicious glint.
He knew that this time, with the Fire Sparrow Order, the Jiang Family was doomed.
’You dare provoke me, Wen Bufan? I’ll make sure you die.’
’A very ugly death.’
’The Jiang Family is destined to be destroyed by my hand today.’
Although he had sworn to Jiang Chen that he wouldn’t bother the Jiang Family again, those were just empty words. He hadn’t taken his own oath seriously at all.
It meant less to him than a fart.
Seeing the large contingent from the City Lord’s Mansion on the move, the people of Hanwu City scrambled to hide, not daring to get in their way.
Especially with Wen Bufan leading the charge.
At the Jiang Family estate, Jiang Gan was guarding the main gate.
Just then, he saw the crowd from the City Lord’s Mansion swarming toward them.
Startled, he rushed back to report.
"Patriarch, bad news! The people from the City Lord’s Mansion are back!"
What?
Jiang Han was stunned by Jiang Gan’s report. His son had only sent the men from the City Lord’s Mansion away two days ago, and now they were back for blood.
He knew this was bad.
He hurriedly commanded the others, "Quick, assemble the Jiang Clan Members!"
He knew their arrival meant trouble.
No matter what, the Jiang Family couldn’t just wait for their doom.
They had been wary before, but now, if they had no other choice, the Jiang Family would have to resist.
Soon, the Jiang Family’s experts had all gathered.
Every one of them wore a grim expression.
"Wen Bufan was crushed by the Young Master last time. He must hold a grudge. Could he be here for revenge this time?"
"I’d say it’s highly likely. Prepare to fight."
"We, the Jiang Family, will never surrender without a fight!"
The Jiang Family members instinctively knew this would be another life-or-death moment for their family.
Their fighting spirit soared.
In the courtyard, Liang Yiyi noticed the commotion among the Jiang Clan Members. After making a few inquiries, she learned that the people from the City Lord’s Mansion were back.
She rushed straight to Jiang Chen’s room.
"Young Master, bad news! The people from the City Lord’s Mansion are back!"
At that moment, Jiang Chen was in seclusion, refining a Pill. Hearing Liang Yiyi’s words...
He slowly withdrew the ingredients he was about to place into the Pill Furnace.
He extinguished the flame.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
’So, you’re back. I’ve been waiting for you.’
He had deliberately let Wen Bufan go last time, knowing he would return.
But it wasn’t Wen Bufan he was waiting for.
However, Wen Bufan was the fuse. He needed to provoke him to bait the bigger fish.
This was Jiang Chen’s ultimate goal.
He was waiting for the big fish to finally take the bait.
