"Old sect master, it's the old sect master!" Looking at the barrier between them, the Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, Chris, had an excited expression on his face. He could not help but cry out in surprise.
When the Saint Rulers hidden in the Dragon and Tiger Sect made their move, the experts of the Dragon and Tiger Sect were pleasantly surprised. This disaster could finally be avoided. Once the seven Saint Rulers' Heaven Tier Battle Skills burst out, the mountain range would definitely be destroyed, and the Dragon and Tiger Sect would also collapse due to the loss of its foundation. Although it wouldn't cause too many casualties to the Dragon and Tiger Sect, it would still be an extremely humiliating matter for them if their sect was destroyed.
"The old sect master is just too powerful. He didn't even show himself and just used a barrier to stop seven Heaven Saint Masters from using a Heaven Tier Battle Skill. Is this the strength of a Saint Ruler? The difference between him and a Heaven Saint Master is actually so great. " The pale-faced and heavily injured Hu Ba stared blankly at the barrier as he muttered to himself. The old sect master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect usually cultivated in seclusion in the back mountains and wouldn't appear in front of anyone. Although many people knew that the Dragon and Tiger Sect had a Saint Ruler expert, no one had seen the Saint Ruler's appearance in the past few hundred years, let alone seeing a Saint Ruler personally take action.
This was the first time Hu Ba had seen a Saint Ruler expert take action since he was born.
Seeing that their old sect master had been alarmed, the experts of the Dragon and Tiger Sect were naturally the most excited. In their opinion, as long as their old sect master appeared, no matter how big the matter was, it would be easily settled. After all, this was a Saint Ruler expert. Even the Qin Empire had to take him seriously.
On the other hand, the ten Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire, Qin Wuming, and his sons all had extremely grim expressions. However, they didn't show any fear. The Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect taking action was within their expectations.
"Disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, all of you come back!" At this moment, an old voice rang out. It was impossible to tell where it came from. The voice was very calm, but it was even louder than thunder.
"Yes, old sect master!" The dozen or so powerhouses of Dragon and Tiger Sect turned into docile children and immediately walked into the sect not too far away.
"Chris, Hu Ba, Mosini, the three of you stay behind." The voice of the Dragon and Tiger Sect's Old Sect Leader rang out again, stopping the three of them.
Hearing this, the three of them were stunned. They immediately stopped and obediently stood where they were without saying a word. They didn't even dare to ask.
On the other hand, the vice sect master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, Hu Ba, revealed an extremely excited expression. He never thought that the old sect master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect would actually know his name. To him, it was as if having his name known by the old sect master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect was an extremely glorious thing.
The people from the Qinhuang Kingdom stood to one side silently. Against a Saint Ruler, they felt a little restrained. They were not as calm as when they faced the Heaven Saint Masters from the Sect of Dragon and Tiger.
As for Jianchen, ever since he saw Chris, Mosini, and Mosini being held back by the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, his heart sank slightly. He had already realized that the situation was probably not good.
This was because the three people who were held back were the ones whose Saint Weapons had been destroyed by the origin energy of the sword spirits. At the same time, they were also the ones who were the most heavily injured. The Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect just happened to have them stay behind. Could it be that he wanted to support the three of them?
Very soon, the experts of the Dragon and Tiger Sect returned to the sect. They stood within the barrier and observed the situation outside. At this moment, the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect spoke again, "People of the Qin Empire, you actually dare to attack my Dragon and Tiger Sect. Do you think that my Dragon and Tiger Sect is so easy to bully?" Towards the end, the originally gentle voice became rather stern.
"Senior of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, this matter was completely instigated by your Dragon and Tiger Sect. Let's not talk about what happened in the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom for now. Let's talk about what happened a few days ago. We were ordered to capture a fugitive from the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, but when we were escorting the fugitive back, we were ambushed by the experts of your Dragon and Tiger Sect. Not only did you save the fugitive from the Qin Empire, you even heavily injured my son. Senior, please give us an explanation for this matter," Qin Wuming said righteously.
"Nonsense. What fugitive from the Qin Empire? The second prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom was originally a member of my Dragon and Tiger Sect. How could he be imprisoned by the Qin Empire? Moreover, the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom is already under the control of my Dragon and Tiger Sect, so it's my territory. Your Qin Empire has interfered with my Dragon and Tiger Sect's territory and even imprisoned my people. What kind of logic is this?" The vice sect master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, Hu Ba, yelled.
Xiao Tian sneered, "He's clearly a prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, when did he become a member of your Dragon and Tiger Sect? As far as I know, there's no relationship between the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom and your Dragon and Tiger Sect."
"That's right. It's true that Carlo is the second prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, but his mother is the great granddaughter of the sect master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, Chris. Therefore, the second prince Carlo can be considered a direct descendant of the Dragon and Tiger Sect. He's not an outsider. As for the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, the King has already handed it over to our Dragon and Tiger Sect, so it's already our territory." This time, it was Mosini who spoke. Although he was heavily injured, his tone was still full of energy.
Seeing that the two sides were going to continue arguing, the Saint King of the Dragon and Tiger Sect said, "Alright, stop arguing!"
Once the Saint King spoke, whether it was the people of the Dragon and Tiger Sect or the people of the Qin Empire, they obediently shut their mouths. They dared to reason with the Saint King, but they didn't dare to contradict him.
The Saint King's voice sounded again, "Since the second prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom is a member of my Dragon and Tiger Sect, we can't let him be taken away by the Qin Empire for such a trivial matter. People of the Qin Empire, you've already made a ruckus and fought, so this matter ends here. As for the matter of my Dragon and Tiger Sect injuring your people, we'll use the territory of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom as compensation. Alright, you can all leave."
Hearing this, the expressions of the people of the Qin Empire became very ugly. Although the Saint King hidden in the Dragon and Tiger Sect spoke amiably, his way of doing things was extremely tyrannical. Not only did he want to protect the second prince, he also wanted to push the responsibility of the Dragon and Tiger Sect away completely. As for the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, it already belonged to the Qin Empire. What difference would it make if they gave it away or not? Could it be that the Dragon and Tiger Sect still dared to fight for territory with the Qin Empire?
At this time, the Saint King hidden in the Dragon and Tiger Sect spoke again, "Since the matter between my Dragon and Tiger Sect and the Qin Empire has been settled, then let's talk about the three of them. Their Saint Weapons have been damaged. Although they can be repaired, their vitality will be greatly damaged because of this. The brat who injured them, you should give my Dragon and Tiger Sect an explanation."
Jianchen was furious. He shouted in a deep voice, "What kind of explanation does senior want me to give?"
The ten Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire, as well as Qin Wuming and his two sons, all changed their expressions. Jianchen was the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire. For the mighty Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire to give an explanation for injuring three experts of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, this was basically a slap to the face of the Qin Empire.
"Hmph, a mere Heaven Saint Master dares to talk back to me?" The hidden Saint King was furious. As soon as he finished speaking, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared around Jianchen, trapping him like a prison. The barrier had been personally cast down by a Saint Ruler. It was countless times stronger than the barriers that Jianchen had seen in the Mercenary Tournament. Even if a Heaven Tier Battle Skill were to be used by a Heaven Tier Saint Master, they would not be able to break through the seemingly weak barrier.
The people of the Qin Empire all became furious when they saw that Jianchen had been trapped by the barrier. Xiao Tian immediately yelled out, "Senior, what is the meaning of this? Do you want to become enemies with my Qin Empire?"
"Your Dragon and Tiger Sect is far too arrogant. Do you want to start a war with my Qin Empire?"
The people of the Qin Empire all spoke with righteous indignation. They were extremely angry at the actions of the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect. If it were not for the fact that the opponent was a Saint Ruler, they would have attacked him long ago.
Jianchen was also infuriated. Although he feared the strength of a Saint Ruler, he was not a coward who would not dare to say anything. He immediately used the origin energy of the sword spirits and stabbed at the barrier without any hesitation.
Jianchen was not certain that the origin energy of the sword spirits would be able to break through a barrier cast down by a Saint Ruler. He was only trying his luck this time.
Poof!
However, when the origin energy of the sword spirits struck the barrier, the barrier that had trapped Jianchen actually shattered. The barrier that could block the Heaven Tier Battle Skills of seven Heaven Saint Masters was like a balloon that had been pierced by a needle.
This scene stunned the thirteen experts of the Qin Empire and the three people of the Dragon and Tiger Sect. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
"Hmm?" The Saint Ruler who was hiding in the darkness let out a soft sound of surprise. He was clearly very shocked that Jianchen could pierce through his barrier.
After a moment of silence, the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect spoke again, "Brat, just what kind of power is this? Tell me how to obtain this power and Old Man will let you go." The origin energy of the sword spirits was so powerful that even the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect became greedy.
"Don't even think about it!" Jianchen said without any fear.
"You're courting death!" The Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect was enraged. He actually caused the energy in the sky to violently fluctuate. A vast pressure came from the depths of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, directly pressing down on Jianchen.
Seeing that the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect was about to make a move, Xiaotian's expression greatly changed. He hurriedly said, "Stop! This is the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire. Don't tell me you want to make a move on the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire?"
The pressure that filled the sky quickly dissipated. The vast energy storm that had filled the sky also gradually calmed down. Xiaotian's words had stopped the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect from making a move on Jianchen. Because of the Imperial Protector's special status in the Qin Empire, the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect could injure the Qin Empire's Imperial Protector if he had a reason. However, if he injured the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire, then he would completely fall out with the Qin Empire and become their enemy.
"This brat is the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire?" The Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect asked. He clearly didn't dare to believe Jianchen's identity.
"That's right. Jianchen is indeed the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire. His status was appointed by the four respected Imperial Protectors of the Qin Empire." The person who spoke was Qing Shaofan. He directly revealed to the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect just how great Jianchen's status in the Qin Empire was.
This time, the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect remained silent for a very long time. Although Jianchen was only a Heaven Saint Master, his status as the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire clearly made him feel extremely fearful. This was because he understood that if this matter wasn't handled properly, then all four Saint Rulers of the Qin Empire would be alerted.
"You can all leave!" After a while, the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect finally spoke.
Hearing this, Jian Chen and the people from the Qinhuang Kingdom looked at each other with gloomy faces. Shortly after, they nodded slightly and left the place together. Everyone knew that since the Saint Ruler of the Sect of Dragon and Tiger had appeared, there was no reason for them to continue staying here. They could only return to discuss their next step.
