The flying Magical Beast flew at high speeds several thousand meters above the ground. Its speed grew faster and faster. The Great Elder of the Tianqin clan flew at the front, protecting everyone. At the same time, he prevented the flying Magical Beast from suddenly going berserk and throwing everyone down from the sky. Although this was a rare occurrence, there were quite a few geniuses of the Tianqin clan who were going this time. They were all the future pillars of the Tianqin clan. Not a single accident could happen to them.
Sitting on the back of the flying magical beast, Jianchen's expression became complicated. He could not help but think of the time when he was forced to leave home by the Huayun Sect. At that time, it was Chang Bo who had sent him away from Lore City on the flying magical beast.
Then, he thought of his graceful mother, Bi Yuntian, his lively sister, Changyang Mingyue, his burly and straightforward big brother from Changyang Prefecture, as well as the dignified patriarch of the clan, Changyang Ba. All of these people who had cared for Jianchen could not help but appear in Jianchen's mind. Among them were fragments of memories of his life in Changyang Prefecture.
"The Huayun Sect!" Jianchen tightly clenched his fists. He was completely forced to leave the Kingdom of Gesun by the Huayun Sect. It was a pity that the Huayun Sect was just too powerful in the Kingdom of Gesun. They had two peak Heaven Saint Masters and many other Saint Masters, causing the imperial family of the Kingdom of Gesun to fear them. It was not something that the Changyang Prefecture could contend against.
"Huayun Sect, when I return, it will be the day that I, Jianchen, get my revenge. I was forced to wander outside by you all these years. I will definitely settle this debt with you." The coldness in Jian Chen's eyes grew sharper and sharper, but he was an extremely rational person. Although he was already an Earth Saint Master and there were very few Earth Saint Masters who could pose a threat to him with the help of the Azulet Sword Spirits, he was basically powerless against a Heaven Saint Master.
Every major realm above Earth Saint Master was like a natural chasm. It was like the difference between heaven and earth. It was impossible to make up for it.
The Saint Force of a Heaven Saint Master had reached an extremely terrifying level. It could support their bodies to fly thousands of meters in the air for long periods of time. Moreover, the Saint Force was endless. Unless an intense battle occurred, the Saint Force within a Heaven Saint Master would never run out.
The flying magical beasts that Jianchen and the others rode flew at high speeds in the air. Fierce gusts of wind blew past their ears, causing thunderous booms that greatly affected their hearing.
Along the way, there were constantly people riding magical beasts that encountered the group from the Tianqin clan. These people were all from the Zhuya Kingdom. Every single group was protected by a Heaven Saint Master. These people all knew the great elders of the Tianqin clan, so they would greet each other in an extremely friendly manner as soon as they saw each other. Afterward, they would gather together and continue on their way.
Not everyone who went to Mercenary City had a flying magical beast to ride on. On the ground, there were quite a few groups riding magical beasts. Each group was large in scale, with at least a hundred people in each group. They kicked up clouds of yellow dust on the ground, forming huge yellow dragons that were several kilometers long.
Half a day later, everyone left the Zhuya Kingdom. After another day of flying, they finally arrived at a kingdom with a Space Gate. It was a kingdom called the Great Zhou Kingdom.
"I've heard my father say that the Great Zhou Kingdom once had a period of glory. Its strength was enough to rival the three great empires of the Tian Yuan Continent. The Space Gate was left behind by that extremely powerful Protector, but ever since he left, the Great Zhou Kingdom gradually declined. It's now just a small, nameless kingdom," Qin Xiao explained as he watched the bustling cities recede below.
Jianchen sighed inside. The deterrence of a peak expert was just too great. He never thought that an extremely powerful kingdom would gradually decline once they lost the existence of a peak expert.
Although the Great Zhou Kingdom had declined, its territory was still not small. The flying magical beasts flew for more than half a day before finally approaching the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
The region had gradually begun to bustle with activity. More and more flying magical beasts appeared in the air. Jianchen saw over a dozen peak Heaven Saint Masters just flying in the air. Other than that, there were a few Heaven Saint Masters who directly rode on the backs of flying magical beasts, making them difficult to discover.
These people belonged to the various large organisations of the various kingdoms in the region. They all planned on using the Space Gate in the Great Zhou Kingdom to head to Mercenary City.
Under the lead of the great elder, the group of people from the Tianqin Clan flew all the way to the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom before descending. Immediately, a general wearing the uniform of the Kai Clan came forward to receive them. He warmly greeted the great elder of the Tianqin Clan before arranging for them to rest in a courtyard within the imperial palace.
"The Space Gate will open in two days. During these two days, all of you stay here and don't run around. This is the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom after all. If you cause any trouble, even the clan won't be able to protect you." The great elder of the Tianqin Clan said to everyone before leaving.
Zhou Tian coldly glanced at Jianchen before coldly snorting. He turned around and returned to his room. Although he really wanted to teach Jianchen a lesson, this was the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom after all. He did not dare to act recklessly.
Qin Xiao arrived before Jianchen and said with a slightly worried expression, "Jianchen, Zhou Tian is also going to participate in the Mercenary Gathering. You have to be careful if you encounter him in the future."
Jianchen faintly nodded and did not say anything.
These two days were rather peaceful. The group of people from the Tianqin Clan obediently stayed in the small courtyard arranged by the imperial palace. They did not take a single step out, afraid that they would cause any trouble. Although the Great Zhou Kingdom had gradually declined over the years, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The current Great Zhou Kingdom was still very much feared by many of the surrounding kingdoms.
Two days later, the great elder of the Tianqin Clan suddenly appeared and led everyone away. They passed through countless splendid palaces and pavilions before finally stopping in an open space.
A large group of people had already gathered here. As far as the eye could see, there were at least a thousand people, completely surrounding the open space.
Jianchen faintly raised his head. He could clearly see that there was a transparent energy barrier in front of him that was connected to the ground. The barrier was semicircular and covered a radius of a hundred meters. Everyone was standing around the barrier.
"I heard that this barrier was left behind by the protector of the Great Zhou Kingdom in the past. It's extremely powerful and no one has been able to break through it after so many years …"
"It's said that when the Great Zhou Kingdom was in chaos, a Saint Ruler snuck into the kingdom and attacked the barrier in an attempt to steal the Space Gate. It's a pity that he could only make the barrier shake a few times with his full strength. He was unable to break through it, so he had no choice but to retreat in the end."
"The protector of the Great Zhou Kingdom in the past was just too powerful. He stood at the apex of the Tian Yuan Continent long ago. How can a regular Saint Ruler break through his barrier?"
"I heard that the protector of the Great Zhou Kingdom had reached the peak long ago. He seemed to have disappeared in search of a final breakthrough. However, there hasn't been any news of him in several hundred years. Looks like he failed to break through to the final level."
"The peerless Grand Imperial Protector of the Great Zhou Kingdom is no longer in this world. What a pity, what a pity, such a peerless expert has left just like that."
A few of the old people in the surroundings stared at the transparent barrier with mixed feelings as they discussed. Many of them sighed emotionally while many of them looked at the barrier with respect.
"I wonder just how powerful the protector of the Great Zhou Kingdom was if even Saint Rulers can't break through the barrier," Jianchen softly murmured as he listened to the discussions of the people in the surroundings.
Suddenly, there was a sudden silence. Some of the people who were whispering stopped talking at the same time. Then, five old men in white robes with white hair and youthful faces slowly floated down from the sky. Their otherworldly temperament made them seem like immortals from the heavens that had descended to the mortal world, surpassing the mortal world.
The five old men hovered above the barrier in five different directions, forming a pentagram that surrounded the transparent barrier.
At this moment, one of the old men clasped his hands in the surroundings and said, "Everyone, I never thought that we would meet again after fifty years. Next, the five of us will use a secret technique to temporarily close the barrier. Everyone can use a Space Gate to head to Mercenary City. I'm sure everyone knows how to use a Space Gate, so let's get straight to the point."
Afterward, the five old men used a secret technique at the same time and temporarily closed the barrier.
The crowd began to slowly move forward. As powerful pulses of energy constantly appeared, people were sent away through the Space Gate one by one.
Very soon, it was the turn of the Tianqin clan. Only now did Jianchen see the appearance of the Space Gate. It was a three-meter-tall circle of light. The space around the circle of light violently distorted and pulsed. It was extremely unstable, but the circle of light was several hundred thousand kilometers away. It was extremely wondrous.
Below the Space Gate was a profound and complicated formation. A few Class 5 Monster Cores were fixed in the surroundings, supporting the Space Gate formed by the formation.
