Jianchen clearly heard their discussion from nearby. He raised his head and observed the people who had entered the tavern. There were a total of ten people, and they all wore tight robes. They seemed extremely capable. The person at the very front was a large man with thick eyebrows and large eyes. He had a full beard while two white-haired old men followed closely behind him. Although they were old, their eyes shone brightly. The three of them were Saint Rulers. They were 13th Star warriors in the sea realm, while the seven people behind them were 12th Star experts. They were all Sixth Cycle Heaven Saint Masters.
"The person at the very front is the captain of the Blue Sky Adventurers. They only have eight people, yet they've actually gained two unfathomable old men. Are the rumors true? Have the Blue Sky Adventurers really recruited two 13th Star experts and are preparing to enter the depths of the divine realm again?" Someone in the tavern asked softly.
"The Blue Sky Adventurers are actually all humans. Only the two old men are from the Sea race and the magical beasts," Jianchen secretly murmured inside. He saw through the composition of the Blue Sky Adventurers with a single glance.
Another group of people walked in from the outside. They were all wearing blue armor and had an extraordinary aura. On the chest of the blue armor, there was an emblem shining with purple light. On the emblem, there were two words written in the language of the sea race — Blue Mountain.
"It's actually the people of the Lanshan clan. The Lanshan clan is one of the three great clans in Divine City. Have they come because of the divine water of the world?"
"The person at the front is the first young master of the Lanshan clan, Lan Mo. He's been cleansed by heavenly resources since he was young, so his talent for cultivation is extremely outstanding. He's become a 13th Star expert in just over three hundred years of age."
The group of people from the Blue Mountain clan directly arrived before the Blue Sky Adventurers. The first young master, Blue Devil, stared at the captain of the Blue Sky Adventurers in an overbearing manner and said, "Zhou Chuyun, our Blue Mountain clan will be venturing into the depths of the Divine Domain this time. Your Blue Sky Adventurers should form an alliance with us. We'll enter the Divine Domain together, and your Blue Sky Adventurers will take forty percent of the spoils while our Blue Mountain clan will take sixty percent."
"The first young master of the Blue Mountain clan has gone too far. He took the initiative to pull the Blue Sky Adventurers into the depths of the divine realm. He clearly wants them to lead the way to the divine water of the world, but he only gave the Blue Sky Adventurers forty percent. That's unreasonable."
"There's nothing we can do about it. The Lanshan clan is just too powerful. They control a third of the territory in Divine City, and the patriarch of the Lanshan clan is a 14th Star expert. There's barely anyone who dares to offend them in Divine City."
"Legend has it that the Blue Sky clan has an old ancestor who has lived for over four thousand years. He's a 15th Star expert and has already traveled for several decades. I wonder if that's true."
A few people in the tavern discussed softly. They were displeased with the actions of the first young master of the Lanshan clan as well as amazed by the power of the Lanshan clan.
The captain of the Blue Sky Adventurers, Zhou Chuyun, became furious, but he hid it very quickly. He stood up and clasped his hands at the first young master of the Lanshan clan, Lan Mo. He said, "It's our fortune that young master Lan Mo thinks highly of our Blue Sky Adventurers. However, our Blue Sky Adventurers have always been independent, so I can only decline young master Lan Mo's good intentions."
"Zhou Chuyun, I've never sent an invitation to a mere adventurers group in my life. Your Blue Sky Adventurers is the first. I never thought you'd actually reject my good intentions. Are you looking down on me?" Lan Mo's voice became cold.
Zhou Chuyun smiled, "You've misunderstood, young master Lan Mo. We're not looking down on young master Lan Mo. We're just used to being independent."
An armored guard behind Lan Mo walked forward and sternly said to Zhou Chuyun, "It's your fortune that young master Lan Mo has taken the initiative to invite you. Don't be so ungrateful. You must join the alliance this time, or don't even think about leaving this tavern today."
The atmosphere in the tavern immediately became tense with the guard's warning. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at young master Lan Mo and the Blue Sky Adventurers.
The members of the Blue Sky Adventurers all paled. Only the two old men remained composed as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Chuyun's face sank as well. He would seem weak if he continued to hold back now that he had spoken like that. He said coldly, "Young master Lan Mo, my Blue Sky Adventurers may not be as powerful as your Lanshan clan, but we're not afraid of trouble. If young master Lan Mo wants to use force, we're more than welcome to have a spar here and see just who won't be able to leave this tavern."
Young master Lan Mo snorted coldly. He glanced past the two old men with Zhou Chuyun and said, "Zhou Chuyun, do you really think you can stand up to our Lanshan clan just because you've invited two 13th Star experts? You're overestimating yourself."
"At the very least, your Lanshan clan won't be able to do anything to us before your ancestor returns. However, your ancestor seems to have left several decades ago," Zhou Chuyun's attitude became tough as well. He showed no fear at all.
Young master Lan Mo's face sank as killing intent flickered through his eyes. As the first young master of one of the three great clans in Divine City, his status was extremely great. He had never been offended by a tiny adventurer group before. Even though the adventurer group had a 13th Star expert, he still did not care.
Young master Lan Mo glanced past Zhou Chuyun and the two old men coldly. Just when he was about to say something, a mocking voice rang out from outside, "I never thought that the renowned young master Lan Mo would actually bully an adventurer group. How unbelievable. However, the Blue Sky Adventurers are not like those small adventurers. They're not people that you can bully."
A white-robed young man who seemed to be in his twenties walked in from outside. He looked at young master Lan Mo with a mocking gaze. Behind the young man were a few middle-aged men in tight robes. They all radiated with valiant presences.
"I was wondering who it was. So it's the first young master of the Kerunk clan, Ke De," snorted young master Lan Mo. Lan Mo snorted coldly. The Kerunk clan possessed the same status as their Lanshan clan. They were also one of the three great clans.
Ke De ignored Lan Mo and arrived beside Zhou Chuyun. He clasped his hands, "Captain Zhou Chuyun, our Kerunk clan has already formed an alliance with the Xue clan. We plan on venturing into the depths of the divine realm again. Our two clans sincerely invite captain Zhou Chuyun to join us."
"I knew your Kerunk clan had come here with the same intentions as me. Whatever, I'll sit here and watch how you rope in the Blue Sky Adventurers. However, I've heard that a large clan from Deorc City has already hurried to the Divine City for the divine water of the world." Young master Lan Mo sneered before glancing around the tavern. He discovered that it was already full. There was not a single empty seat.
"Young master, why don't you let me find you a seat?" A guard behind Lan Mo stepped forward and glanced around sharply. In the end, his gaze landed on Jianchen who had taken a table all to himself. He strode over and looked down at Jianchen, "Kid, our young master Lan Mo has taken this table for himself. Leave immediately. Don't waste our young master's time."
The people in the tavern all sat in groups of three to five. They were all burly and radiated with powerful presences. Only Jianchen seemed extremely ordinary, and he seemed rather frail in the eyes of the guard. As a result, he was obviously the easiest person to bully.
"Young master Lan Mo sure is haughty to actually take my seat. It's been a long time since I've seen someone like you. You must be tired of living," Jianchen said without even raising his head. He directly ignored Lan Mo's group.
Jianchen's words immediately stunned everyone in the tavern. Who was young master Lan Mo? He was the first young master of the Lanshan clan, one of the three great clans of the Divine City. He possessed a great status and was a 13th Star expert, yet someone had actually said that he was tired of living. This was unbelievable.
Almost at the same time, everyone in the tavern looked at Jianchen. However, no matter how they studied him, they discovered that Jianchen was an extremely ordinary person. He did not seem like a powerful expert at all.
"Who is this person? How dare he speak to young master Lan Mo like that? Don't tell me he's a peak expert who hides his strength."
"This person is dead for sure. I'm sure he won't be able to walk out of this tavern after talking to young master Lan Mo."
That was what many people thought.
Young master Lan Mo's face sank. The guard immediately called out, "How dare you! How dare you speak to young master Lan Mo like that? I think you're the one who's tired of living." Blue light flickered in the guard's hand, and a trident appeared. He stabbed it at Jianchen mercilessly.
Jianchen sat there calmly. He did not even raise his head. With a gentle wave of his right hand, the trident in his hand immediately turned into a silver streak of light, shooting into the guard's forehead with lightning-like speed.
Spurt!
Blood spurted from the guard's forehead. The trident had completely pierced his head, and he fell to the ground without even making a sound.
The people in the tavern immediately fell into an uproar. At that moment, the sound of countless people inhaling could be clearly heard. Many people had never thought that the young man sitting there would actually be a hidden expert. He even dared to kill young master Lan Mo's guards.
"How did that guard die? I actually didn't see it."
"What did he use to kill that guard?"
Many people in the tavern wondered inside. They had not seen when Jianchen had acted or what he had used to kill the guard.
