A sliver of desire finally appeared in Dugu Feng's eyes. He yearned to reach the same level as the Holy Emperor. Jianchen's words had tempted him very much.
"It's a pity that Ken is out on a mission. Otherwise, there would be another person at the table. Speaking of which, Ken should be the captain of the Flame Mercenaries," Jianchen said with some regret.
"Although Ken's father, Kendall, founded the Flame Mercenaries, Ken is still weak. It'll be difficult for him to convince the others if he becomes the captain. At the same time, it might cause the Flame Mercenaries to disband," Dugu Feng said without any hesitation.
Jianchen did not become angered. He said, "Let's let Ken grow up first. Once he has enough strength in the future, I'll let him take over as captain. That way, he'll inherit his father's legacy. At the same time, it'll be an explanation to uncle Kendall."
With that, Jianchen's eyes narrowed. He turned his head toward the east. His gaze seemed to be able to pierce through the obstructions of the buildings and see the world outside. Although he was in the room, nothing that happened outside could escape his eyes.
"Someone has come with ill intentions. Looks like I've come at the right time," Jianchen softly murmured to himself as he slowly put down his cup.
"What! Someone's come to make trouble for us? "Bi Lian obviously heard Jianchen's murmur as well. She was shocked. There was no one on the Tian Yuan Continent who did not know about the Flame Mercenaries. Ever since the Flame Mercenaries had taken back Flame City from the Flame Extinguishing Alliance, they had established their great strength, making all the large organisations on the continent fear them. Even now, no one dared to provoke the Flame Mercenaries. As a result, Bi Lian even doubted if she had heard correctly when she heard Jian Chen's soft murmur.
Bi Hai was also surprised. With the fame of captain Jianchen, who would dare to provoke him aside from the ten protector clans? Moreover, even the ten protector clans feared Jianchen very much.
"Could it be that there's a power even greater than the ten great guardian families?" At this moment, Bi Hai actually had such a strange thought in his mind, but he immediately laughed self-deprecatingly.
Suddenly, a tremendous presence descended from the sky, basically enveloping the entire city. The presence possessed the savagery and toughness of a vicious beast. At the same time, there seemed to be the deep howls of wolves.
This was the powerful presence of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. It immediately suffocated countless mercenaries in the city. Many of them paled and felt like a mountain was pressing down on their chests, suffocating them.
The mercenaries were not very powerful. There were only a handful of Heaven Saint Masters and most of them were not even Earth Saint Masters, so they were unable to resist the presence of a Saint Ruler.
A young man who seemed to be in his thirties hovered in the air above Flame City with his arms crossed. His eyes were cold and he was emotionless. He only stared at the city lord's estate below.
"Who dares to act recklessly in Flame City? State your name!" A loud shout rang out from the city lord's residence. Along with the voice, five old men shot into the air from different directions. They were as fast as lightning. With a flash, they disappeared without a trace. When they reappeared, they were already in the air, facing off against the young man who had come with ill intentions.
The five Saint Rulers were all experts who had joined the Flame Mercenaries. They were the only Saint Rulers in the entire city aside from Bi Hai.
The black-robed old man on one side clearly recognized the young man. His eyes narrowed, and his face became rather ugly. He sternly called out, "The Greedy King, Feng Yixiao. It's actually you."
The young man glared at the old man. He coldly smiled and said, "Gu Tu, I've searched for you for fifty whole years. I never thought that you would actually be hiding in the Flame Mercenaries. This really does surprise me. You managed to escape last time, so I'd like to see where you'll run off to this time." With that, Feng Yixiao's presence skyrocketed.
The powerful energy that belonged to a Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler leaked out from his body, vaguely condensing into a wolf that howled at the sky. Immediately, wild winds began to kick up in the surroundings as the energy of the world surged chaotically in the sky.
The five Saint Rulers all became extremely stern. Deep fear filled their eyes. They could tell that Feng Yixiao had already reached the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Layer just from his presence. He was a terrifying existence that was half a step away from reaching the level of the Holy Emperor. He was even more powerful than regular Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers. On the other hand, the strongest among them had only just reached the Fifth Heavenly Layer while the weakest was only at the Second Heavenly Layer. The difference between them and Feng Yixiao was not small. If they really did fight, they would not be able to defeat Feng Yixiao even if they worked together.
"Feng Yixiao, this is the campsite of the Flame Mercenaries, and I, Gu Tu, am the great protector of the Flame Mercenaries. I will not tolerate your impudence. Could it be that you dare to offend the Flame Mercenaries and start a war with them?" Gu Tu shouted sternly. He had an irreconcilable grievance with Feng Yixiao. Fifty years ago, he had almost died to Feng Yixiao's hands, but he had only managed to escape in the end. Now that Feng Yixiao had come looking for him, he was even more powerful than fifty years ago. He could not escape even if he wanted to. He could only use the name of the Flame Mercenaries to deter Feng Yixiao.
The killing intent in Feng Yixiao's eyes became even heavier. He coldly said, "Gu Tu, this is a personal matter between the two of us. It has nothing to do with the Flame Mercenaries, so don't use the name of the Flame Mercenaries to scare me."
Gu Tu laughed aloud. He looked at Feng Yixiao in a mocking manner and said, "It's rumored that the Greedy Wolf King Feng Yixiao fears nothing and does as he pleases. No one can stop him, and no one can change his mind. Looking at it today, it's just an undeserved reputation. He's actually been frightened by the name of the Flame Mercenaries."
Feng Yixiao's gaze became even colder. His face was filled with malice as a powerful killing intent radiated from him at all. Gu Tu's words had infuriated him.
