Looking at the Space Gate that had suddenly appeared in his small room, the ancestor of the Huang clan became stunned. This was because the mountain he was cultivating in was enveloped by a barrier that he had cast down, isolating it from the outside world. Even a Saint Ruler would not be able to sneak in without alerting him, let alone a Space Gate. Moreover, this Space Gate just happened to appear in his small wooden hut.
However, when his gaze landed on one of the three people, Jianchen, a thought flashed through his mind. His body violently trembled as he immediately jumped up from the jade rock. He bowed with great respect, "Junior Huang Tianba greets senior." The ancestor of the Huang clan was extremely emotional. Even his voice was trembling.
Uncle Tian indifferently glanced at the ancestor of the Huang clan before looking at Jianchen and asking, "Is he the person you're talking about?" From Uncle Tian's gaze, it seemed like he did not take the ancestor of the Huang clan seriously at all, even though he was a Saint Ruler.
Jianchen nodded. Seeing how respectful the ancestor of the Huang clan was, he laughed inside. However, his expression did not change as he said, "Senior, I've already done as you requested. I've already invited the expert over as you wished. Are you satisfied now?"
The ancestor of the Huang clan's expression changed when he heard that. His high and mighty demeanor immediately turned into one of humility, as if he was afraid that he would vent his anger on this senior expert. After all, it was already extremely disrespectful for such a senior expert to personally come over to see a nobody like him.
"Little brother Jianchen must be joking. That was only a joke of this junior. I never thought that little brother Jianchen would actually take it seriously, making senior come all the way here. If I've offended you in any way, please forgive me, senior," the ancestor of the Huang clan panicked. Even the ancient clans would not dare to offend a monster that could live for five thousand years, let alone the Huang clan that was far inferior to the ancient clans.
Seeing the Huang family's old ancestor's groveling appearance, Uncle Tian was unmoved. His tone was indifferent as he said, "It's fine. I'm here this time to fulfill Jianchen's request and help him solve some problems. I believe that you are the key to solving this problem."
Upon hearing these words, the Old Ancestor of the Huang Family was shocked by Jianchen's power. At this moment, Jianchen's position in his heart skyrocketed. He was now someone that he could not afford to offend no matter what. He had to try his best to rope him in.
Towards the words of Uncle Tian, the Old Master of the Huang Family did not dare to not reply. With a respectful expression, he replied, "Senior, you're being too serious with your words. This is just a small matter. There's no need for you to interfere in it. This junior here can settle it."
"If that's the case, then that's for the best. Although I don't like to meddle in other people's business, since I've already made a promise to Jian Chen, then I'll definitely do it. I've already heard about your Huang Family's worries. Take this piece of jade. When your Huang Family needs my help, just crush it. I'll rush over within three breaths!" A thumb-sized piece of white jade appeared in Uncle Tian's hand as it slowly floated before the Old Ancestor of the Huang Family.
The Old Ancestor of the Huang Family was so excited that he could not control himself. He used both hands to receive the thumb-sized piece of white jade and said, "Thank you for your gift, Senior!" To be able to obtain the help of a Holy Emperor was too significant for the Huang Family. Although there was only one chance, it was enough for the Huang Family to establish their prestige. This was because this would prove that the Huang Family had a close relationship with a Holy Emperor.
The Old Ancestor of the Huang Family looked at Uncle Tian respectfully. After a moment of hesitation, he carefully asked, "May I ask senior's name and what organisation you rule over? If I come across you in the future, I would like to offer my meager assistance."
"My name is Tian Jian, the grand elder of Mercenary City. As for assistance, there's no need. At the very least, you don't have that ability right now. Let's talk about it when you reach the level of a Holy Emperor!" Uncle Tian indifferently replied. Saint Rulers were indeed nothing in his eyes. There were quite a few of them in Mercenary City.
However, when the ancestor of the Huang family heard about the identity of the first elder of Mercenary City, his body became limp. He almost could not help but kneel down. Panic filled his face, and his heart almost leapt out of his chest. Soon after, his gaze towards uncle Tian was filled with shock and disbelief. There was also some fear and dread mixed within.
As a Saint Ruler, even though he did not belong to Mercenary City, he knew quite a lot about the city. He knew extremely well about the governance and hierarchy of authority in Mercenary City.
Although Mercenary City was a city, it did not belong to any place. Their governance was different from ordinary cities. There was no city lord in Mercenary City because there was no need for law and order in Mercenary City. Even Saint Rulers dared not break the rule that forbade fighting in the city. The true ruler of Mercenary City was a group of elders composed of many people. This group of elders was the core of authority in Mercenary City, and the person with the highest status was the grand elder.
Without any exaggeration, the grand elder was the final ruler of Mercenary City. Not only could he mobilize the power of the entire city, but he was also the person with the true authority to decide everything in Mercenary City.
Other than that, the grand elder was also the most powerful person in Mercenary City. He was someone who truly stood at the apex of the continent, someone who stood at the very top of the pyramid.
Even in his wildest dreams, the ancestor of the Huang family would have never thought that the senior that Jianchen had found would have such a great background. It was so great that he felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
The ancestor of the Huang family stood there in a daze. Even though he was a Saint Ruler, he was still as insignificant as an ant before the grand elder of Mercenary City.
Tian Jian did not even glance at the ancestor of the Huang family. He looked at Ming Dong lovingly and smiled, "Child, do you want to return to Mercenary City with uncle, or do you want to stay here?"
"Uncle Tian, I'll stay with brother Jianchen. I won't be going back with you," Ming Dong replied without even thinking about it.
"Alright! You really do lack experience right now. Following Jianchen will be much better than staying in Mercenary City, "Tian Jian nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Ming Dong seemed to think of something. His eyes immediately lit up, "Uncle Tian, the Shi family and the Jiede clan are our enemies. My brother was forced into this situation by them as well. You might as well deal with both of them together. If the experts of their clans come to deal with us, it won't be easy for the two of us to deal with them."
Tian Jian shook his head, "Child, you can't ask uncle to help you deal with every problem you encounter. If uncle is no longer here one day, how will you survive on the Tian Yuan Continent? Right now, you need to learn how to overcome all the problems you may face." Although he was teaching Ming Dong, Tian Jian's voice was extremely gentle and did not carry any sternness. He gave off the feeling of a benevolent grandfather.
"Yes, uncle Tian!" Ming Dong's face was filled with helplessness and disappointment.
"Since the matter has been resolved, it is time for me to return to Mercenary City. Do you want to stay here or return to the Kingdom of Gesun?" Tian Jian continued.
Ming Dong did not reply. Instead, he looked at Jianchen with a questioning gaze.
Jianchen pondered for a moment before replying, "Senior, let's stay here!"
Tian Jian did not reply. He raised his hand again and tore open space. In less than two breaths, he created a Space Gate and floated away.
Deep yearning filled Jian Chen's eyes when he saw this. Tian Jian's use of space had clearly reached a level of mastery. With this ability, he could go anywhere in the world, and there would be no need for him to waste time on travelling.
However, with Jianchen's current strength, he could only yearn. Tian Jian's cultivation level was so great that Jianchen could only look up to him. After all, he was a great figure that even Saint Rulers had to bow before.
The ancestor of the Huang family stared blankly at where Tian Jian had vanished. He became lost in thought and murmured, "Is this the Holy Emperor's strength? He can actually tear open space and cross over a million kilometers with a casual move." Soon after, the Old Ancestor of the Huang Family noticed the jade stone in his hand. His expression immediately became very excited. At this moment, in his eyes, this jade stone was a million times more precious than any treasure in the world. There was no treasure that could be compared to this jade stone.
The Huang family's ancestor took out an exquisite jade box from his Space Ring, then carefully placed the jade into the box like it was a precious treasure. This was because this was a treasure that could summon the Grand Elder of Mercenary City. Even though it was only a single use, it was still extremely precious because the deterrence it created was extremely great.
After storing the jade away, the ancestor of the Huang family finally exhaled deeply. However, his heart was still thumping violently. It was very difficult for him to calm down. Only now did he discover to his surprise that his forehead was covered in sweat.
The ancestor of the Huang family wiped away the sweat on his forehead. He stared at Jianchen and Ming Dong with extremely mixed feelings. Even though Ming Dong was only an Earth Saint Master, the ancestor of the Huang family had already treated him as a little ancestor. This was because he had heard Ming Dong call him 'uncle Tian' very clearly.
Jianchen chuckled when he saw how shaken the ancestor of the Huang family was. He said, "Senior, you can announce the annulment of the marriage between Miss Luan 'er and the Huanggu clan now, right?"
