It was impossible for Jianchen to refuse an invitation from the city lord of Wake City. Moreover, he had an important matter that he needed the city lord's help with.
"Commander Duo Li, I'll go after I've dealt with the matters here." Jianchen clasped his hands. Jianchen still had not settled down the new members of the Flame Mercenaries. If he left them here without a care, it was inevitable that some of them would become dissatisfied with him. This was something that Jianchen did not wish to see happen.
"Alright then. Since I've passed on the message, I'll be taking my leave first." Commander Duo Li stared deeply at Jianchen before glancing at the people behind him. He did not say anything else and directly left the Mercenary Union.
As soon as Dolly left, Jian Chen left the Mercenary Union with the new members of the Flame Mercenaries in a grandiose fashion. There were usually many people gathered in the Mercenary Union. It was very common for twenty to thirty people to enter and leave the Mercenary Union at the same time. As a result, Jianchen's group did not attract too much attention as they blended in with the crowd.
"Kyle!" Jianchen suddenly called out as he walked.
"Yes, captain. What orders do you have for me?" Kyle, who seemed to be in his sixties, hurriedly replied. Having witnessed Jianchen's strength, he did not underestimate him because of Jianchen's age.
In the past few decades, Kyle had gone from being a small mercenary to his current status. He had experienced many things and seen many things, so he understood extremely well that having a powerful backer on the Tian Yuan Continent would be much better than having to develop by himself. At the same time, if his backer was powerful enough, he would be able to walk with much more confidence in the future. Even people stronger than him would not dare to offend him.
Although Jianchen was only in his twenties, Kyle was certain that Jianchen had a powerful background just from the fact that he possessed such strength at such a young age. Even if he did not have any background, just his talent in cultivation was enough for Kyle to follow him. Clearly, Vaz, who was also the patriarch of the clan, thought the same as Kyle. As a result, the two of them were the first to agree to follow Jianchen. They had already predicted that if Jianchen could continue on his path, he would definitely be able to stand at the peak of the Tian Yuan Continent in the future.
This was the perfect opportunity for them to climb to the peak of the future. If they waited until Jianchen's name shook the continent and he stood at the peak of the continent, it would be impossible for them to climb up to this uncle even if they wanted to.
"Bring everyone to stay in your clan for now. You'll have to go to the city lord's estate immediately. There's no time to arrange another residence," Jianchen said indifferently....... "
"Yes, captain!" Kyle immediately replied respectfully.
"Vaz, you should return to your clan as well. In the future, the two of you will do business in Wake City and work together to take control of all the businesses in Wake City."
"En, don't worry captain. If our Cai clan and Daer clan work together, even the Tianxiong clan would have to be wary of us. Now that the Zhou clan and Tianxiong clan have been destroyed, there will be no one to manage their businesses. We can take advantage of this opportunity to fight for them and use them as a foundation to slowly take control of the entire Wake City market. However, during this period of time, I'm afraid that we will need some military support. After all, there are still some powers in Wake City that cannot be underestimated. If they work together, just our Cai clan and Daer clan will not be their match."
Jianchen nodded in agreement. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let's not rush this matter for now. Right now, Wake City is about to be attacked by the Magical Beast wave. Let's wait until the Magical Beast wave is over before we talk about it."
After arranging the temporary accommodations for the members of the Flame Mercenary Group, Jianchen went straight to the city lord's mansion.
When Jianchen arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion, a guard stopped Jianchen and politely asked, "Excuse me, are you Mister Jianchen?"
"Yes, it's me!" Jianchen glanced at the guard.
"Mister Jianchen, please wait for a moment. I will go and report." After confirming Jianchen's identity, the guard immediately ran inside.
Seeing the guard disappear into the gate, Jianchen didn't show the slightest trace of impatience. He quietly stood at the gate and patiently waited. Not long after, Jianchen saw the city lord, dressed in casual clothes, stride out of the gate.
"Aiya, little brother Jianchen, why are you standing outside? Ai, it's my fault for not being a good host. Please, please come in." City lord Yun Li had a smile on his face as he greeted Jianchen from afar. His face was full of enthusiasm.
Jianchen faintly smiled. After exchanging a few pleasantries with City Lord Yun Li, he was invited in.
In a quiet meeting room, Jianchen and City Lord Yun Li sat across from each other. As soon as they sat down, Jianchen opened his mouth and asked, "May I ask why City Lord has called me here?"
"Ai!" Hearing this, City Lord Yun Li let out a long sigh. The smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a heavy expression.
"Little brother Jian Chen, after what you've done, our Wake City's strength has decreased by quite a bit. The pressure from the Magical Beast Wave is only increasing." City Lord Yun Li's face was filled with unspeakable bitterness. His face was filled with worry.
Hearing this, Jianchen faintly smiled and said, "City Lord, please allow me to ask if there have been any cases of Class 5 Magical Beasts in the past."
City Lord Yun Li's expression became heavy after hearing Jianchen's words. He said, "There have been. The Magical Beast Mountain Range attacks Wake City almost every ten or twenty years. According to the records, since the founding of Wake City, there have been more than twenty Magical Beasts. During that time, there have been five Class 5 Magical Beasts. Out of these five, the first four of them caused considerable damage to Wake City. We paid an extremely heavy price to kill the Class 5 Magical Beast. But the last Class 5 Magical Beast attack, because we notified Royal City in time, Royal City sent Earth Saint Masters to deal with the Class 5 Magical Beast. That's why the last Class 5 Magical Beast attack didn't cause too much damage to us."
"Oh, so that means the chances of a Class 5 Magical Beast appearing aren't very high." Jianchen muttered in a low voice. Then, a confident smile appeared on his face, "City Lord Yun Li, you can rest assured that Jianchen will definitely do his best to help Wake City defend against the Magical Beast attack. As long as no Class 5 Magical Beast appears this time, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. Although we lost Tianxiong Lie and the other two Great Saint Masters, I alone will be able to make up for their losses. In fact, I might even be able to surpass them."
"Haha, with little brother Jianchen's words, I can relax a lot. I believe that little brother Jianchen isn't the kind of person to speak without thinking." City Lord Yun Li's tightly knitted eyebrows also relaxed after hearing Jianchen's words. Although he hadn't personally witnessed Jianchen's strength, he was very clear in his heart. The destruction of the Tianxiong Clan and the Zhou Clan was the best evidence.
"City Lord, City Lord, something bad has happened … …"
Right at this moment, a loud shout mixed with a bit of panic came from outside. Then, this tightly shut meeting room was directly rudely pushed open without any notice. A soldier covered in blood rushed in from outside with an anxious face.
"City Lord, something bad has happened. Our small scouting team was carrying out a scouting mission in the Magic Beast Forest when we suddenly discovered a level five magic beast. Apart from me who was lucky enough to escape, the rest of our team were all killed." As soon as the soldier entered the meeting room, he immediately reported while panting.
