Jianchen could only give up on trying to absorb the Xuanhuang Qi after listening to the sword spirits' explanation. He began to focus on cultivation.
A hundred thousand kilometers away from the Kingdom of Gesun, there was a city completely forged from precious tungsten alloy. Although the city was not one of the seven capital cities, it was one of the most powerful cities on the Tian Yuan Continent. From a certain perspective, the city was countless times more valuable than any of the capital cities on the Tian Yuan Continent.
This was because the city was completely forged from tungsten alloy. Tungsten alloy was an extremely precious metal on the Tian Yuan Continent. Its defense was extremely great, and just by weight, a kilogram of tungsten alloy would cost five kilograms of purple gold. No one knew just how much tungsten alloy had been used to forge the city. Just the price of the city had reached a shocking level.
Such an expensive city had indeed attracted the attention of the various large organizations on the Tian Yuan Continent. Even a few ancient clans had been tempted by it. However, the owner of the city was just too famous, so all of them gave up on the idea of taking it for themselves.
This city was Flame City that belonged to the Flame Mercenaries. At this moment, Bi Lian, who held the greatest authority in the Flame Mercenaries and was basically in charge of everything in the Flame Mercenaries, was chatting with You Yue in the luxurious city lord's residence that had been constructed like an imperial palace. She would chuckle softly from time to time.
In order to prevent the Holy Emperor, who had fled from the Underworld sect, from taking revenge on the Flame Mercenaries, You Yue had been guarding the Flame Mercenaries with the Bright Moon Divine Hall. The silver-white divine hall had shrunk to the size of a normal palace and stood quietly behind the city. Fairy Haoyue's soul was in there, so as soon as the Holy Emperor entered the city lord's estate, they would be discovered by Fairy Haoyue immediately.
Originally, with Fairy Haoyue's status and pride, it was impossible for her to protect a mercenary group that had nothing to do with her. However, when she considered that she needed Jianchen's help and that she might need Jianchen's help in the future, she reluctantly agreed to temporarily protect the city.
The silver-white Bright Moon Divine Hall seemed extremely conspicuous in the city lord's estate that was constructed from black bricks and red tiles. Even during the day, the bright moonlight from the divine hall could be seen clearly. The area a thousand meters around the divine hall had become a forbidden zone that no one could set foot in. Neither the patrolling guards nor the upper echelon of the Flame Mercenaries were allowed to set foot there.
At this moment, the space above the city began to distort violently. A while later, a Space Gate rapidly formed and several Holy Emperor experts strode out. They stared at the city below emotionlessly.
These people were the nine Holy Emperor experts who had hurried over from Mercenary City. The Yiyuan Sect and Yangji Zong had each sent two Holy Emperor experts and five independent Holy Emperor experts to borrow the divine hall.
As soon as the nine Holy Emperor experts arrived in the city, their tremendous presences flooded the surroundings, enveloping the entire city. A few of the weaker mercenaries in the city immediately vomited blood from the pressure as their faces paled.
At that moment, the orderly city fell into chaos from the presences of the nine Holy Emperor experts. The streets were filled with people. Although they did not die, they were all heavily injured from the tremendous presences. Their organs had all ruptured, and a few of the buildings in the city collapsed from the pressure of the nine Holy Emperor's presences.
Bi Hai and the Saint Rulers of the Flame Mercenaries flew out of the city lord's estate in a hurry. They all became extremely stern when they saw the nine Holy Emperor experts hovering in the air.
Bi Lian, who had been chatting with You Yue, also stood up sternly. She looked outside and asked in a heavy voice, "What's happened?"
You Yue held Bi Lian's hand and comforted her, "Sister Bi Lian, don't worry. Sister You Yue is here to support you."
"Yeah. You Yue, let's go out and have a look. Someone who can give off such a powerful presence is probably a Holy Emperor. I'm afraid that great-grandfather Bi Hai and the others are in danger," Bi Lian said rather anxiously. She was extremely worried for Bi Hai's safety.
You Yue nodded. She took Bi Lian's hand and walked out. She had the Bright Moon Divine Hall to rely on. Even if she faced a Saint Emperor, she did not fear them at all.
Fairy Haoyue sensed the arrival of the nine Holy Emperor experts in Flame City, but she did not do anything. Instead, she remained in the Bright Moon Divine Hall, secretly observing the situation outside.
Bi Hai flew into the air with the Saint Rulers of the Flame Mercenaries. He stopped at the same altitude as the nine Holy Emperor experts and clasped his hands. He asked in an extremely unfriendly tone, "May I ask who you are and why have you come to make trouble for my Flame Mercenaries? Do you think that our Flame Mercenaries do not have a Holy Emperor?"
The eyes of the nine Holy Emperor experts all turned cold when they heard Bi Hai's words. However, Yangji Zong and the four Holy Emperor experts from the Yiyuan sect said nothing. They understood the strength of the Flame Mercenaries extremely well.
The mercenaries themselves were not very powerful.
However, behind them was a captain that even the protector clans did not dare to offend.
They could take the Flame Mercenaries down a notch, but they did not dare to casually injure people. Not to mention, the person before them was Jianchen's great-grandfather. They could not guarantee that if they harmed even a hair on Bi Hai, Jianchen would not go crazy and cause trouble for the protector clans with the three magical beasts.
However, just because the Holy Emperor experts from the Yiyuan sect and Yangji Zong did not dare to touch Bi Hai did not mean that the five independent Holy Emperor experts who did not understand the strength of the Flame Mercenaries would not touch Bi Hai. When the five independent cultivators saw how a mere Saint Ruler like Bi Hai did not greet the nine Holy Emperor experts politely and even questioned them in an unfriendly manner, the proud Holy Emperor experts had become displeased long ago.
Immediately, a short old man at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor stepped forward. A tremendous presence immediately pressed down on Bi Hai. He sneered, "So what if your Flame Mercenaries have a Holy Emperor? You're just a puny Saint Ruler. How dare you speak so rudely to the nine of us? The Old Man can kill you. Even if your Holy Emperor is here, he'll have to apologize to the nine of us." With that, the short old man directly sent a palm strike toward Bi Hai. He used the Holy Emperor's ability. With the palm strike, energy surged and the space before him froze, firmly immobilizing Bi Hai.
However, he failed to notice that Bi Hai had been holding a rock in his right hand when he arrived. The rock was one of the three Flaming Jadeites that the president of the Radiant Saint Master Union had given to him. At the same time, Ruijin and the others had filled it with energy, allowing it to unleash an attack at the Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor.
Bi Hai knew that they had ill intentions this time, and there were nine Holy Emperor experts. As a result, he secretly held the Flaming Jadeite in his hand just in case.
