When he arrived at the entrance of the Kai Clan, the guards at the entrance naturally recognized Jianchen. They didn't dare to stop him in the slightest and immediately respectfully invited Jianchen in.
Jianchen directly went to the small courtyard where the Flame Mercenaries lived. Right now, there weren't many people moving about outside the courtyard. In a nearby room, painful groans could be heard from time to time.
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
As soon as they saw Jianchen enter, the Flame Mercenaries all saluted. Their expressions were even more respectful than before. During the battle of the magical beasts, Jianchen had not only saved many people from imminent danger, but he had also won the admiration of many members of the Flame Mercenaries.
"Captain, you've returned." Hearing the commotion outside, Qing Feng, Mo Tian, Chalka, Duo Kang, and Seth all walked out of the house. All of them had some injuries on their bodies and were wrapped in white bandages that were dyed red with blood.
His gaze slowly swept over the five of them. Seeing that the five of them weren't too heavily injured, Jianchen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The five people before him were the pillars of the Flame Mercenaries. They were the hope of the Flame Mercenaries' development. He didn't want them to suffer any losses.
"How are the casualties?" Jianchen asked the five of them.
"The casualties aren't too heavy. A total of twenty brothers have lost their lives. Among them are eight Saint Masters. There are also sixty or so injured. None of them are too serious," one of them replied.
"Fortunately, the casualties aren't too high." Jianchen inwardly let out a sigh of relief. He then took out a small pouch from his spatial belt and said, "There are a thousand purple coins here. Take it and buy some first-rate medicine for your brothers. Give the rest to the families of the fallen brothers."
"Thank you, captain!"
Jianchen's actions made the five Saint Masters and the rest of the mercenaries extremely moved. Their gazes towards Jianchen were filled with gratitude.
Although there were quite a few orphans among the mercenaries, many of them still had mothers in their eighties, wives, and children. They had risked their lives to come to the Tian Yuan Continent just to increase their strength and earn money to support their families. They were basically the pillars of their families, or even the only source of income for their families. Once they died, their families would lose their livelihood as well. Their lives would become even more difficult. Jianchen's actions immediately made many of the mercenaries feel gratitude towards him. Many of them had even made up their minds to properly follow Jianchen in the future.
It could be said that Jianchen's actions had won the hearts of many people.
Two days later, City Lord Yun Li brought two bodyguards to the Kai Clan and directly entered the small courtyard where Jianchen lived.
"Little brother Jian Chen, after two days of tidying up, we've collected all the monster cores from the magical beasts. We'll distribute them according to your contributions. Here, these things belong to you." City Lord Yun Li handed over a spatial belt to Jian Chen.
Jianchen took the spatial belt and looked inside. He saw a large pile of monster cores, there were actually quite a few monster cores of the fourth rank. What made Jianchen even more surprised was that there were actually two monster cores of the fifth rank.
"There are a total of four hundred monster cores of the third rank, one hundred monster cores of the fourth rank, and two monster cores of the fifth rank." City Lord Yun Li said from the side.
"City Lord, isn't the distribution of monster cores a little too much? The monster cores of the fourth rank actually took up a quarter of the total number of monster cores of the fourth rank, and there are even two monster cores of the fifth rank. I'm afraid that many people will be dissatisfied with this distribution. According to reason, these two monster cores should go to the two emissaries." Although the monster cores of the fifth rank were very tempting to Jianchen, there were only three monster cores of the fifth rank. If he took two of them alone, it would inevitably make the two emissaries unhappy. Although the monster cores of the fifth rank were precious, Jianchen didn't want to offend two Earth Saint Masters for no reason.
"Little brother Jianchen, this distribution is already unfair to you. You have contributed a lot in this battle. Even if you took half of the monster cores of the fourth rank, no one would say anything because other than the ones killed by the Intermediate Magic Crystal Cannons, the rest of the magical beasts were all killed by little brother Jianchen alone. Moreover, little brother Jianchen also saved many lives during the battle. As for the two monster cores of the fifth rank, this is completely the will of the two emissaries." City Lord Yun Li explained.
"Haha, little brother Jianchen, these monster cores are what you deserve. Don't be so pretentious and quickly accept them." Just as City Lord Yun Li finished speaking, another voice came from outside the house. Following that voice, two white-robed Katata brothers walked in from outside. The one who spoke was none other than Katata, who had an amiable expression on his face.
After two days of recuperation and the Radiant Saint Master's treatment, the two brothers had recovered very quickly.
"Little brother Jianchen, we have already treated you unfairly by only giving you two monster cores of the fifth rank. After all, the three Class 5 Magical Beasts were all killed by little brother Jianchen alone. If it weren't for you, the two of us would have only been able to run away in the end. It would have been impossible for us to kill them. Taking one of the monster cores of the fifth rank is already a great bargain." Katata continued with a smile on his face.
"Alright then. Since the Emissaries have already said so, I will accept them." Jianchen said with a smile. He was also very interested in a Class 5 Magical Beast Core. This was because the energy within a Class 5 Magical Beast Core was not something a Class 4 Magical Beast Core could compare to. The difference in energy between Class 5 Magical Beast Cores and Class 4 Magical Beast Cores was simply incomparable. If they really had to be compared, a Class 5 Magical Beast Core would probably be equivalent to several dozen or even a hundred Class 4 Magical Beast Cores.
"Little brother Jianchen, we have already discussed. The corpses of the three Class 5 Magical Beasts are all yours. How do you plan to deal with them? Do you plan to keep them for yourself or sell them off?" Katata asked with a smile.
A harsh light flashed through Jianchen's eyes as he said, "I want to keep the Golden-furred Tiger King's corpse. As for the remaining two corpses, I'll leave the Green Scaled Ape to you two Emissaries. After all, it was all thanks to the Emissaries that I was able to kill the Green Scaled Ape. Otherwise, even I would not have been able to kill it."
A sliver of joy appeared in the eyes of Katata and Katata when they heard that. They said, "Alright then. We'll accept the Green Scaled Ape's corpse." Katata did not decline at all and accepted the corpse as expected. In his heart, he also coveted the Green Scaled Ape's corpse. Earlier, he had been wondering if he should use money to buy the corpse from Jianchen, but now that Jianchen had taken the initiative to give the corpse to them, they might as well accept it. Of the three corpses, the Green Scaled Ape's rank was the highest. It was at least a Class 5 Fifth Transformation Magical Beast and was much stronger than Katata and Katata. Just this corpse alone was worth more than the Golden-furred Tiger King and the Bladed Crocodile combined.
Next, Jian Chen and Katata casually chatted about a few topics. Katata's face was filled with enthusiasm, and he always had a warm smile on his face. It was very touching, and it was very easy for people to have a good impression of him. As for the cold Katata, he still had a straight face as he sat to the side expressionlessly. He was a man of few words and did not say a single word.
"Little brother Jianchen, the two of us will be leaving Wake City tomorrow and returning to Sky Dragon City. In the future, when you come to Sky Dragon City, you can directly go to the city lord's estate to find us. If you encounter any trouble in Sky Dragon City, you can also directly use our names. I believe that there are very few people in Sky Dragon City who would not give us face." After this battle, Katata was deeply shocked by the strength that Jianchen had displayed. He had looked down on Class 4 Magical Beasts like ants, beheaded a Class 5 Golden-furred Tiger King with a single strike, and crushed the Bladed Crocodile's head with a single strike. Such shocking battle prowess was something that even the two of them who were Earth Saint Masters could not compare to. Therefore, the two of them did not dare to put on any airs in front of Jianchen and treated him as an equal. They also did their best to improve their relationship with Jianchen.
"Of course, of course. In the future, I may have to trouble the two of you." Jianchen clasped his hands and smiled. His tone was also very polite.
Katata and Katata quickly left the Kai Clan while Jianchen asked Yun Li to stay behind.
"Little brother Jianchen, is there anything else that I can help you with?" Yun Li's tone was very polite.
"Mayor, I really do have something that I need your help with. I wonder if you can help me find a few people." Jianchen got straight to the point.
"Haha, a small matter, a small matter. I wonder who little brother Jianchen is looking for. As long as they are in Wake City, even if I have to turn the entire city upside down, I will definitely find them." Yun Li chuckled.
After that, Jianchen told him the names and appearances of uncle Kendall and the others. Finally, he added, "Mayor, you only need to find their families for me."
City Lord Yun Li furrowed his brows, "Little brother Jian Chen, the information you've provided is too little. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to find them. But don't worry, I'll personally take care of this matter. I'll search the entire city, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find them. If they're not in Wake City, then I'll be powerless."
Jianchen silently nodded and sighed, "Right now, I can only hope that they are in Wake City. Otherwise, with how big the Tian Yuan Continent is, I really don't know where to find them. It's a pity that uncle Kendall left behind too little information when he passed away. He didn't even tell me where their families are. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
"Little brother Jianchen, what is the relationship between you and mister Kendall?" Seeing Jianchen's expression, Yun Li asked curiously.
Hearing this, Jianchen was silent for a while before saying, "Uncle Kendall is my savior. At the same time, he was also the first captain of the Flame Mercenaries."
"So that's how it is." Yun Li came to a realization and didn't stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Jianchen, he left the Kai Clan.
In the afternoon, a member of the Flame Mercenaries came to Jianchen's room and said, "Captain, there is someone outside who claims to be the captain of the Blood Rain Mercenaries. He wishes to see you."
Inside the room, Jianchen sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed. He softly said, "Do you know why they are here?"
"It seems that they are here to thank captain for saving their lives a few days ago." The mercenary outside the room said.
"Tell him that we were all in trouble a few days ago. We should help each other and there is no need for thanks." Jianchen said in a calm voice.
"Yes sir!" The mercenary accepted the order and left very quickly.
However, before long, another mercenary came to Jianchen's room and said, "Captain, there is someone who claims to be the captain of the War God Mercenaries. He wishes to see you."
"Tell him that I am still recovering from my injuries. It is inconvenient for me to see guests."
"Yes sir!"
"Captain, the captain of the Windstorm Mercenaries wishes to see you."
"I refuse!"
"Captain, the vice-captain of the Blue Mercenaries wishes to see you."
"I refuse!"
…
Afterwards, Jianchen did not have any peace at all. There was an endless stream of captains and leaders of various clans who came to see him. It had already been four days since the magical beast wave. Many people from various clans had already discovered the identity of the mysterious expert who had killed a Class 4 Magical Beast with a single strike and saved them, as well as three Class 5 Magical Beasts. As a result, more and more people came to visit him. After all, everyone wanted to curry favor with Jianchen, an expert who was even more terrifying than Earth Saint Masters.
