However, just as everyone rose into the air, the voice of the Dragon Tiger Sect's Saint King came from the horizon again. "Although you are the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire, you have offended the Old Man. If I don't teach you a lesson, others will think that the Old Man is easy to bully." As he spoke, the space behind Jianchen began to distort violently. An extremely powerful energy wave came at a rapid speed and hit Jianchen's back hard.
Although Jianchen could feel the sneak attack coming from behind, he couldn't dodge at all. This was because the space around him suddenly froze, fixing his body in place. He couldn't move at all.
"Pu!" Jianchen was hit hard in the back by this extremely powerful energy wave, causing him to immediately spit out a large mouthful of blood. His face turned pale in an instant. Then, the frozen space around him disappeared and returned to normal. Jianchen's body also shot forward like a cannonball due to inertia. In the end, his entire body hit a mountain five hundred meters in front of him. With the sound of rocks breaking, Jianchen smashed a large hole in the mountain, and his entire body sank into it.
Due to the violent impact, the entire mountain trembled a few times. From this, one could see how powerful the impact was.
"Imperial Protector!" The ten Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire, Qin Wuming, and his sons all cried out in alarm. Then, they quickly approached the mountain. In the end, Xiaotian entered the large hole created by Jianchen and helped the pale-faced Jianchen out.
At this moment, Jianchen was completely draped over Xiaotian. He could not even do something as simple as standing up. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper. After vomiting over a dozen mouthfuls of blood, tiny strands of blood continuously flowed out. The clothes on his upper body had already vanished. They had been reduced to dust by the extremely powerful energy. Not a single piece of cloth could be seen. They had completely vanished.
Jianchen's injured back had been reduced to a bloody mess. Not a single piece of undamaged skin could be found. It seemed vicious and terrifying. His organs had all been ruptured. Even his bones and meridians had been shattered.
A casual strike from a Saint Ruler possessed enough power to tear apart the world. Even though Jianchen's body had been tempered by Chaotic Force, he was still as fragile as tofu before a Saint Ruler's attack. He could not take a single hit.
"Imperial Protector, are you alright? Consume a Radiant Spirit Pill," Qin Wuming asked in concern. At the same time, he took out a few Radiant Spirit Pills from his Space Ring and fed them to Jianchen.
Although the Radiant Spirit Pills were nowhere near enough to heal Jianchen's wounds, they could at least stabilize Jianchen's condition for now and prevent it from worsening.
Jianchen violently coughed a few times. Large amounts of blood mixed with bits of organs spurted out of his mouth. Not only did it dye the ground red, but bits of organs were scattered everywhere as well.
Jianchen slowly broke free from Xiaotian's support. He sat on the ground powerlessly as he gasped for breath. He had temporarily lost the ability to speak due to his severe injuries. It was as if his throat was stuck, preventing him from saying a single word no matter what.
The faces of the people from the Qin Empire became extremely sunken when they saw how severely Jianchen had been injured by a Saint Ruler from the Sect of Dragon and Tiger. Their eyes were cold as powerful killing intent flickered in them.
Although they were not as close as brothers with Jianchen, Jianchen was the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire. He represented the face of the Qin Empire. The fact that a Saint Ruler from the Sect of Dragon and Tiger had beaten the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire to such a state was basically a vicious slap to the face of the Qin Empire. It was humiliating.
"This Saint Ruler from the Sect of Dragon and Tiger has gone too far. We can't just let this go like this," Qin Wutian said through gritted teeth. He was extremely furious.
"We have to make the Sect of Dragon and Tiger pay the price for this. Let's return to the Qin Empire and report this to the four esteemed Imperial Protector. This concerns the face and prestige of the Qin Empire. The Imperial Protector definitely won't just sit by and watch," Qing Shaofan said.
"That's right. We have to get the Imperial Protector to come out no matter what. If we don't get back our dignity, how will the Qin Empire stand on the Tian Yuan Continent in the future? How will we be able to call ourselves one of the eight great nations?" Qin Wujian said with a deep voice. Although they were very close to the Sect of Dragon and Tiger, everyone was furious. They were not afraid of the Saint Ruler from the Sect of Dragon and Tiger overhearing their conversation.
Qin Wuming said, "Let's leave this place first. We'll discuss our next move on the way."
"Alright, let's leave this place first. The Imperial Protector is heavily injured and can't travel any further. Let me take him back," Xiaotian said.
Xiaotian supported the heavily injured Jianchen and used the Yuan Qi of the world to carry Jianchen's body and the people from the Qin Empire into the air. Because everyone was worried that the Saint Ruler from the Sect of Dragon and Tiger would attack Jianchen again, they protected Jianchen in the center as they left. They knew that Jianchen was very important to the Qin Empire. After all, he was a future Saint Ruler, so they protected him very well.
Two days later, the people from the Qin Empire returned to the imperial palace of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. Although they had been gone for a few days, the palace was still as quiet as it had been a few days ago. Only the sound of workers cutting up the treasury could be heard. Without the permission of the Qin Empire, no organization dared to enter the imperial palace of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom.
Jianchen had already been sent to a room by Xiaotian to rest in the imperial palace of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. He currently lay on the bed powerlessly while the thirteen experts of the Qin Empire stood to one side with heavy hearts.
"I need to use a secret technique to heal. All of you, leave. Don't disturb me while I'm healing," Jianchen said rather weakly.
The thirteen experts of the Qin Empire all left, leaving Jianchen alone in the room and closing the door.
After leaving Jianchen's room, the thirteen Imperial Scholars of the Qin Empire sat around a round table in the living room. After a moment of silence, Qin Wuming said, "Qing Shaofan, you have Wind Saint Force, so you're faster than all of us. You'll go to the Qin Empire and report what happened here to the Imperial Protector. No matter what, you have to regain some face."
"No problem. There's no time to lose. I'll go now!" With that, Qing Shaofan immediately stood up.
"Wait!" Qin Wuming took out a map from his storage ring and handed it to Qing Shaofan. "The closest place to us is the Great Zhou Country, which has a Space Gate. The location of the Great Zhou Country is marked on this map. Go to the Great Zhou Country and borrow their Space Gate."
Qing Shao Fan took the map and gave it a cursory glance. Then, he put it away and left the place.
After Qing Shaofan left, Qin Wuming looked around and sighed. "Let's just wait here for news. The Saint Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect isn't someone we can deal with. Let's wait for the Imperial Protector to arrive first."
Afterwards, the twelve experts of the Qin Empire stayed in the palace of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. However, they were all afraid of disturbing Jianchen's recovery, so they left the palace to Jianchen alone. The twelve of them each found a palace to live in, surrounding the palace in the center to protect it.
In the room, Jianchen weakly lay on the bed. When he sensed that the twelve experts of the Qin Empire had left, he began to use his mind to control the Radiant Saint Force in the surroundings to heal himself.
Now that Jianchen was a Class 6 Radiant Saint Master, the Radiant Saint Force he could control was many times more powerful than before. Not long after, the dense Radiant Saint Force filled the entire room, filling up Jianchen's rather large room. Everything was white as far as the eye could see. The light was extremely dazzling, but it also gave off an extremely gentle feeling. Even if one looked directly at the light, which was even brighter than the sun, they would not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, their eyes would feel extremely comfortable.
Lying on the bed, Jianchen's entire body was enveloped by dense Radiant Saint Force. It could be clearly seen that the Radiant Saint Force around him was surging into Jianchen's body at an extremely fast rate. Jianchen's body was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled. It did not reject anything that came in, constantly absorbing the Radiant Saint Force like a whale sucking in water.
Under the healing of the Radiant Saint Force, Jianchen's wounds healed at a visible rate. His shattered organs began to slowly regenerate as well. Even his broken meridians, bones, and flesh began to regenerate at a visible rate.
However, Jianchen's current body was several dozen times tougher than before after being refined by Chaotic Force. As his body strengthened, the healing process became even more difficult. It was no longer as easy as before because the Radiant Saint Force required an even greater amount of Radiant Saint Force to heal after being refined by Chaotic Force.
Jianchen understood his body's condition extremely well. He felt extremely helpless inside. After being refined by Chaotic Force, his body had indeed become much tougher than before, but once he was injured, the healing process would become even more difficult. It would no longer be as easy as before.
At the same time, Jianchen was certain that if he continued to be refined by Chaotic Force, it would become more and more difficult for the Radiant Saint Force to heal him. In the end, the Radiant Saint Force might even become ineffective.
