Changyang Hu was stunned when he heard the extremely familiar voice. He instinctively raised his head and looked at Jianchen. With a single glance, he recognised the handsome young man as his fourth brother, Changyang Shōten, whom he had not seen in many years. Surprise immediately filled his eyes as he said in surprise, "Fourth brother, why is it you!?" However, Changyang Hu soon spotted the great walls of Flame City that were completely forged from tungsten alloy. He came to a realisation. He had never thought that he would end up with the Flame Mercenaries after tailing Feng Yixiao.
Jianchen arrived before Changyang Hu in a single stride. He stared at Changyang Hu in both excitement and doubt, "Big brother, didn't you go to the Pure Heart Pavilion? Why have you suddenly appeared here and ended up like this? Did the Pure Heart Pavilion … "Jianchen paused, but the meaning behind his words was obvious. Everyone present understood what he meant. Jianchen suspected that Changyang Hu had been kicked out of the Pure Heart Pavilion. Otherwise, how could a disciple of one of the ten great protector clans end up in such a miserable state, where he did not even have a decent set of clothes?
Feng Yixiao immediately became shocked when he heard Jianchen's words. He had never thought that the interesting kid he had met along the way would actually be a disciple of the Pure Heart Pavilion. Moreover, Feng Yixiao's other identity left him extremely shocked. He was actually the big brother of the captain of the Flame Mercenaries, Jianchen. Feng Yixiao found this to be unbelievable.
Changyang Hu obviously guessed what Jianchen meant. He shook his head gently and said, "Fourth brother, it's not what you think. Let's talk about this later." Changyang Hu paused. He glanced at the heavily injured and pained Feng Yixiao and said, "Fourth brother, do you have some grievances with senior Feng? Why have you injured senior Feng like this? "
Jianchen glanced at Feng Yixiao with mixed feelings. He asked, "Big brother, do the two of you know each other?"
Changyang Hu checked Feng Yixiao's wounds as he said, "Fourth brother, senior Feng has saved my life before. Can you spare senior Feng for big brother's sake?"
Jianchen agreed to Changyang Hu's request without any hesitation. Afterwards, he strode over to Feng Yixiao and gently pressed his hand on Feng Yixiao's shoulder, sucking out the remaining strand of Chaotic Force in his body.
Without the torment of the Chaotic Force, Feng Yixiao immediately became much more relaxed. However, he was shocked by the energy Jianchen had used. It was just too terrifying. If the energy continued to remain in his body, he probably would have died to it without needing anyone else to do anything.
The four Saint Rulers of the Flame Mercenaries looked at each other. They had never thought that something like this would happen. Feng Yixiao, who had come aggressively to kill the Flame Mercenaries, was actually acquainted with Jianchen's elder brother, Changyang Hu. The four of them felt extremely speechless.
Bi Hai remained very calm, as if he did not care that Feng Yixiao had killed a great protector of the Flame Mercenaries.
With a flip of his hand, Jianchen pulled out three thumb-sized pills from his Space Ring and passed them to Feng Yixiao. He said, "Since you've saved my elder brother's life, I won't pursue the matter of you killing a protector of the Flame Mercenaries. Here are three Class 6 Radiant Spirit Pills. They may not be able to completely heal you, but they can help you recover some battle prowess."
"I have my own healing pills." Feng Yixiao did not accept the pills from Jianchen. Instead, he pulled out a jade bottle from his Space Ring and poured all the pills into his mouth before immediately circulating his energy to heal.
He was extremely heavily injured. Although his Chaotic Force had been sucked back by Jianchen, he needed to control his wounds as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if his wounds continued to worsen, there might even be side effects that would be difficult to heal.
Jianchen awkwardly put away the Radiant Spirit Pills before saying to Changyang Hu, "Brother, let's return to Flame City. It's been many years since we've seen each other. Let's go back and catch up."
Changyang Hu was rather tempted. He had indeed not seen Jianchen in a very long time, so there were many things he wanted to talk about. However, when his gaze landed on Feng Yixiao, who sat on the ground and healed, a sliver of hesitation appeared on his face. He said, "Brother, I'll watch over senior Feng for now. Once senior Feng recovers, I'll go to Flame City."
Jianchen nodded before letting the four Saint Rulers return by themselves. He stayed behind with Changyang Hu. After bidding farewell to Changyang Hu, Bi Hai returned to Flame City as well.
Four hours later, Feng Yixiao opened his eyes. His face was still rather pale. After four hours of healing, his wounds had not completely healed, but he had recovered some battle prowess.
During that time, Jianchen and Changyang Hu chatted for a while and finally understood Changyang Hu's current situation. However, as soon as he thought about how his brother might forget about their brotherhood in the future, Jianchen felt pained inside.
In reality, Jianchen had already discovered these things from Changyang Hu many years ago. Before Changyang Hu's limbs had recovered, he had already displayed an abnormal state of mind. However, he had never thought that after so many years, Changyang Hu would progress further and further on this path. He had already severed all his emotions, leaving behind only this single emotion.
"Senior Feng, you've woken up. How are your wounds?" Changyang Hu stopped chatting with Jianchen when he saw Feng Yixiao open his eyes. He arrived beside Feng Yixiao and asked in concern.
Now that Feng Yixiao's gaze toward Changyang Hu had changed slightly, he could not help but chuckle when he heard Changyang Hu's concerned greeting. He stood up and said, "I've recovered by thirty percent, so running is no problem. Kid, I never thought that your identity would be so extraordinary. It really does surprise me. I saved your life a few days ago, and now that you've saved mine, we don't owe each other anything. Alright, let's not talk too much. Farewell. I hope you'll still remember me the next time we meet."
"Senior Feng, I'll definitely remember you the next time we meet," Changyang Hu called out at Feng Yixiao's departing figure.
Jianchen frowned slightly when he heard that. He became more and more worried. He had no idea if Changyang Hu would still care about their brotherhood and familial ties when they met again in a few years.
"Brother, why don't you stop walking this path and cultivate in a different way? I can help you find a sacred cultivation method that suits you," Jianchen said with some concern. He did not want his brother to end up like that.
Changyang Hu gently sighed. "Brother, I can't stop now. I feel like there's no other path for me to take apart from this one. And, even if I don't want to take this path, there's a mysterious force that's secretly pushing me forward."
Jianchen fell silent. He had already realised that his brother's fate seemed to have been decided by the heavens. It was impossible to change anything.
Jianchen and Changyang Hu both felt rather gloomy because of this matter. Neither of them said anything after that. Unknowingly, the two of them had returned to the city lord's estate at the same time.
"Brother, I heard that you let the troublemaker go. Is that true?" As soon as they returned to the city lord's estate, Bi Lian pulled on Jian Chen's arm and asked.
Jianchen nodded. "Because Feng Yixiao saved brother's life, so I let him go."
"Brother?" Bi Lian was confused, but then she saw Changyang Hu who was dressed like a beggar beside Jianchen. She was stunned at first before her mouth dropped open. She studied Changyang Hu from head to toe as her bright eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Brother A 'hu, why is it you? Y-Y-Y-You, why are you dressed like that …" Bi Lian's mouth dropped open as she asked in surprise.
You Yue walked in as well. When she recognised the person in tattered clothes as Changyang Hu, she was shocked as well.
Changyang Hu lowered his head and looked at the tattered clothes on him. He smiled indifferently and said, "What's wrong with this? I feel pretty good. "
Bi Lian stumbled when she heard Changyang Hu's words, almost falling to the ground. Even You Yue was speechless.
Jianchen could not help but laugh aloud as well. His annoyance was completely swept away. He said, "Lian 'er, get someone to prepare some food and wine. I want to have a few good drinks with brother."
"Alright, I'll arrange it immediately. Oh right, brother, why didn't you save great protector Gu Tu? Why did you have to wait until he was dead before making a move? "Bi Lian asked curiously.
"Lian 'er, you need to understand that our Flame Mercenaries is not a refuge. We come in when there's trouble and leave when the trouble is dealt with. That Gu Tu didn't have good intentions when he came to our mercenaries. He wanted to use us to stop his enemies. Once we destroy his enemies, Gu Tu will probably leave our mercenaries as well. I'm doing this today to give people with such thoughts a warning. Just be careful when you accept people in the future," said Jianchen.
"I understand, brother …"
Due to Changyang Hu's unexpected return, Jianchen left Flame City ahead of time. The Space Gate that the Extinguishing Alliance had constructed when they occupied Flame City had been repaired as well. That afternoon, Changyang Hu put on a clean set of clothes and returned to Changyang Prefecture with Jianchen and You Yue through the Space Gate in Flame City.
