At this moment, one of the old men who had been watching from the side said, "Jianchen, you've entered the dwelling. Did you obtain the items inside?"
"Yes, everything is with me." Jianchen answered without any hesitation. There was nothing to hide. Although there were five Heaven Saint Masters, he did not fear them at all.
"Then there's nothing to say. Everyone, let's kill him together. I've fulfilled my promise to someone else. Our Huang family's reputation cannot be tarnished because of us. Otherwise, who will bear the blame if the ancestor blames us?" The middle-aged man shouted in a deep voice. The words' old ancestor 'from his mouth caused the expressions of the other four people to change. They were clearly extremely fearful of the old ancestor.
"That won't do. Our Huang Clan is indebted to our little friend Jian Chen. If you really do that, the Ancestor will definitely blame you. Our Huang Clan can't do such an ungrateful thing," Feng Lai said solemnly.
Elder Yun also said, "That's right. I'm sure everyone knows how important the Sun Moon Bow is to our Huang family. The ancestor attached great importance to what happened in Mercenary City and even personally called the young lady over to ask her about it. He must have learned the details from the young lady. If it weren't for Jianchen's help, our Huang family would not have been able to successfully retrieve the Sun Moon Bow. As a result, Jianchen is our benefactor. If you really do something over the line because of the Qianggan Kingdom, our Huang family will become an ungrateful family. The ancestor will definitely not forgive you."
"Elders Feng and Yun, there's no need to scare me. I've already said before that the young lady's words may not be true," the middle-aged man insisted. He did not back down at all.
"Elders Huang Junran, Huang Huang, what do you think?" Elder Feng looked at the two elders who had spoken up the entire time.
The two old men pondered for a moment before Elder Huang Junran opened his mouth, "Elder Feng, Elder Yun, Elder Yan, what the three of you said is not without reason, but the things inside the Sage Monarch Cave are too important to us, we cannot give up. How about this, Jianchen, if you hand over the things inside the Sage Monarch Cave to our Huang Family, we will not make things difficult for you."
"We don't need too much. We just need the skeleton of a Saint Ruler. The skeleton of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler is just far too useful to our ancestor," said Jian Chen. Elder Huang He spoke. If they could get the Sage King's skeleton back, the strength of the Huang Clan's ancestors would definitely increase by a lot. As for the other things, they were dispensable to the Huang Clan. This was because the Huang Family had already investigated the identity of the owner of this cave, and there was no treasure that was worthy of their attention.
Jianchen sneered when he heard what the two of them had said. He said, "You better give up. I will never give you the skeleton of a Saint Ruler."
"Jianchen, you're really asking for it. Don't think that you can look down on everyone just because you've obtained the title of Mercenary King. To the Huang Family, killing you is as easy as crushing an ant," the middle-aged man yelled out. His gaze was extremely sharp.
Jianchen's face sank and a cold light flickered through his eyes. His sharp gaze was like an unsheathed sword as he viciously stared at the middle-aged man. He coldly said, "Then do you believe that if I, Jianchen, want to kill you, it'll be as easy as crushing an ant as well?"
"Bastard, you're looking to die!" The middle-aged man's temper was not very good to begin with, so he was enraged by Jianchen's words. He immediately drew his Saint Weapon and charged at Jianchen.
Jianchen grabbed at the air and a fire elemental sword instantly formed. With a wave of his hand, the fire elemental sword shot toward the middle-aged man as a fiery red streak of light.
The middle-aged man yelled out and swung his Saint Weapon at the fire elemental sword with surging energy. With a loud explosion, the fire elemental sword was shattered by the middle-aged man, turning into waves of fire that wreaked havoc in the surroundings, dyeing the sky red.
The middle-aged man did not slow down at all. He passed through the sea of fire with a barrier of Saint Force around him, arriving before Jianchen in the blink of an eye. The huge sword in his hand stabbed toward Jianchen's chest mercilessly.
A dense layer of violet and azure light appeared in Jianchen's right hand, forming a four-foot-long streak of light. Jianchen stabbed out with the origin energy of the sword spirits, colliding with the middle-aged man's sword in the air.
With a soft sound, the tip of the middle-aged man's sword shattered and a thumb-sized fragment fell from the sky.
The middle-aged man's expression drastically changed when he saw his Saint Weapon being damaged. He spat out a mouthful of blood as his body flew back in a horrible shape. He stared at Jianchen in shock as disbelief filled his face.
The other four people had clearly witnessed the battle between the two of them. The shattered tip of the middle-aged man's sword made their hearts thump uncontrollably. They stared at the azure and violet light in Jianchen's hand in shock. None of them knew what kind of power it was.
The middle-aged man retreated thirty meters before stabilizing himself. He stared at the azure and violet light in Jianchen's hand with a pale face.
He involuntarily cried out, "What kind of power is that? It's actually so powerful? "
Jianchen emotionlessly stared at the middle-aged man and coldly said, "Reality has proven that if I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. Now, do you still want to take the Saint Ruler's skeleton from my hands?" The middle-aged man had humiliated Jianchen before. Although he was a member of the Huang family, Jianchen would not let him go so easily.
The middle-aged man's face alternated between green and white. He stared at Jianchen with a venomous gaze as he furiously said, "The Saint Ruler's skeleton is of great use to my ancestor. We cannot give it up. Elders, let's work together and kill him."
Elder Huang Junran and elder Huang He both hesitated. Before, they had indeed not taken Jianchen seriously. Although Jianchen was a Heaven Saint Master, he was not a threat to the Huang family at all. However, ever since they had witnessed the power of Jianchen's sword spirits, they had no choice but to view Jianchen in a new light. The sword spirits' origin energy could easily destroy a Heaven Saint Master's Saint Weapon. This was a fatal threat to Heaven Saint Masters. Jianchen held such great power in his hands. If they offended him, he would definitely become an extremely terrifying enemy.
"Elders, what are you still hesitating for? Don't you know just how important the Saint Ruler's skeleton is to our ancestor?" The middle-aged man urged. He was alone and no longer dared to fight with Jianchen. He was extremely fearful of the sword spirits' origin energy.
"Elder Yan, I think we should go back and discuss this matter with our ancestor. Elders Feng and Yun are right. Jianchen has done our Huang family a favor. We definitely cannot do such a despicable thing." Elder Huang Junran said, expressing that he did not want to become enemies with Jianchen.
"Yes, that's right. I also have the same idea." Elder Huang He also expressed his opinion.
The middle-aged man called Elder Yan looked at the two elders in disbelief. He quickly understood why the two elders had suddenly changed their minds. He immediately gnashed his teeth in hatred. He was extremely unwilling. If the two elders worked together with him, the three of them had the confidence to contend against Jianchen. However, if they did not join, he would not be able to defeat Jianchen alone. He would only be asking for trouble.
"Jianchen, I, Yan Lie, will remember you." The middle-aged man said while gnashing his teeth. After throwing down these words, he did not greet the other four elders and turned to leave.
Elder Huang Junran and Elder Huang Huang also left without saying a word. Only Elder Feng and Elder Yun were left behind.
Elders Feng and Yun looked at Jianchen with extremely complicated gazes. Elder Feng said, "Jianchen, ever since returning from the Mercenary Tournament, the young lady has become very quiet. She is often in a daze. Sigh, when you have time, come visit our Huang family. Many people in our Huang family know about what happened in the training space. Our patriarch and ancestor are extremely grateful to you. "
"If I have time in the future, Jianchen will definitely pay a visit to the Huang family." Jianchen cupped his hands and said.
Elder Yun sighed and said apologetically, "Jianchen, the matter a few years ago was all our fault. The two of us would like to apologize to you. I hope you won't take it to heart."
Jianchen smiled freely and said, "Speaking of which, that matter was all Jianchen's fault. There was some unpleasantness between Miss Huang Luan and I, but it was resolved in the training space during the Mercenary Tournament. There is no need for the two elders to mention it again."
Hearing these words, Elders Feng and Yun revealed a happy smile on their faces and said, "Little friend Jianchen, we still have to hurry back to the family, so we will take our leave first. We must report this matter to the ancestor in advance, so as to avoid Elder Yan Lie from adding fuel to the fire in front of the ancestor."
Jianchen also cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I hope that the two elders will send my regards to Miss Huang Luan."
"Hahaha, we will definitely pass on your words, little friend Jianchen," Elders Feng and Yun chuckled before turning into two streaks of light and disappearing into the horizon.
Jianchen sent off the two elders with his eyes. He did not really want to offend the Huang family. Even ignoring his relationship with Huang Luan, just the strength of the Huang family was enough for Jianchen to fear. In particular, the Saint Ruler of the Huang family gave Jianchen a lot of pressure.
