"Your majesty, you mean to say that we should eliminate this force?" The old man probed.
The king pondered for a moment before replying, "There's no need to eliminate them. If our Blue Wind Kingdom gains an expert like that, it'll naturally be our kingdom's fortune. However, I'm afraid that he's an outsider. Once our Blue Wind Kingdom grows stronger, he'll leave with this force. If that happens, our Blue Wind Kingdom will lose quite a bit of strength. We've just experienced a great battle with the Kingdom of Gesun and our kingdom's strength is weak. I definitely won't let something like that happen at a time like this. "
"Then what does your majesty mean?" The old man asked.
"Master Ku Yun, I'll have to trouble you again this time. I hope that you can personally investigate the background of the Flame Mercenaries and see what their goal is. If they only want to stay in the Blue Wind Kingdom and develop, then I'll obviously welcome them. However, if they want to take away the strength of the Blue Wind Kingdom or do something detrimental to our kingdom, then you must stop them with lightning speed. You can't be merciful." The king sternly said.
The old man nodded and replied, "I understand. I know what to do." With that, the old man turned around and left.
"Master Ku Yun, please wait." The king stopped the old man and said, "Master Ku Yun, I'm worried that there will be a Heaven Saint Master in the Flame Mercenaries, so it's best if you bring someone with you when you go to Cloud Capital this time."
"Thank you for your concern, your majesty." Ku Yun turned around and clasped his hands at the king with a smile. Afterward, he strode out of the study with his head held high.
The king watched Ku Yun leave as a sliver of worry gradually appeared on his face. He murmured, "Why do I feel uneasy? Is it because of the Flame Mercenaries? Could it be that the sudden appearance of the Flame Mercenaries is a great disaster to our Blue Wind Kingdom? "
Thinking up to this point, the king's face became extremely stern. He sighed, "In the battle of the Kingdom of Gesun, only four of the eight Heaven Saint Masters of our Blue Wind Kingdom remain. The other experts have also suffered heavy casualties. They can't endure much more. I hope that my premonition is wrong."
…
Cloud Capital had been in an uproar for the past two days. Whether it was in the streets or in the inns, one could hear countless people discussing the Flame Mercenaries at all times.
The Flame Mercenaries seemed to have appeared out of thin air in Cloud Capital City before quickly ruling over a dozen first-rate organisations in the city. This caused an extremely great commotion in Cloud Capital City.
Some of the second and third rate organizations in the city became extremely nervous as well. They lived their days in fear and trepidation. There were even a few small organizations that chose to temporarily leave the city to avoid the brunt of the storm and return after the storm passed. They were deeply afraid that the Flame Mercenaries would extend their claws towards them, so they were unwilling to give up their authority and become someone's lackey.
However, not everyone in these second and third rate organisations was like this. Some organisations had even taken the initiative to find a dozen or so first-rate organisations that had submitted to the Flame Mercenaries to join the Flame Mercenaries.
The leaders of the first-rate organisations had also received Jianchen's orders. They did not turn down any of the small organisations that had taken the initiative to join, accepting them all.
The Flame Mercenaries needed fresh blood and large amounts of manpower far too much right now. Jianchen was not worried about management at all. Since the leaders of the first-rate organisations had the ability to create their own organisations, they obviously had the ability to manage their own groups.
Seeing more and more clans and organisations join the Flame Mercenaries, the city lord of Cloud Capital was unable to become happy no matter what. He became more and more worried, but he had no power to stop the severe situation in the city. All he could do was make an extremely helpless choice and watch silently from the side. His only hope was to wait for the intervention of the higher-ups.
"Fortunately, Auna's Wild Beast Mercenaries have all left for a mission. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have been able to avoid being swallowed up," the city lord murmured.
Time continued to pass. In the blink of an eye, four days had passed since the Flame Mercenaries had swallowed up a dozen first-rate organisations. By now, the matter in Cloud Capital had already spread throughout the entire Wind Blue Kingdom. Everyone in the various cities knew about it. At the same time, all sorts of rumours about the Flame Mercenaries were flying everywhere. ,
However, no matter what the rumours were, this foreshadowed an important piece of information. Another peak organisation had appeared in the Wind Blue Kingdom.
In the first rate city of Sky Dragon City a thousand miles away, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing white robes stood in front of a pool of water with his hands behind his back.
He was the city lord of Sky Dragon City!
The city lord of Sky Dragon City stood there in a daze as he muttered, "Who would have thought, who would have thought, who would have thought, who would have thought that a small mercenary group from Wake City would actually possess such great strength. In just a few short days, they had made all the first-rate organisations in Cloud Capital submit to them. Unbelievable."
In a luxurious room in the city lord's estate, Katata and Katafei sat at a table drinking wine.
Katata downed the wine in his cup in one gulp and said, "Katafei, you should know about what happened in Cloud Capital right? I wonder if the Flame Mercenaries that appeared in Cloud Capital is the same as the one from Wake City."
"Yes!" Katafei replied with a straight face. It was as if he never smiled and was a man of few words.
"How are you so sure?" Katata asked.
"Jianchen's strength is unknown. He has a Sixth Cycle Earth Saint Master as his subordinate. It's them." Katafei said expressionlessly. However, from the seriousness and shock in his eyes, one could tell that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
Katata downed his cup and sighed, "It's really hard to believe. It's only been two years since we last met and Jianchen has already achieved so much. However, I heard that he went to participate in the Mercenary Gathering two years ago. Could it be that he obtained some great benefits there? It's a pity that we're just too far away from Mercenary City. Unless it's something extremely important, we can't get here. "
…
Within a luxurious inn in Cloud Capital, Jianchen sat on the bed and cultivated. Only the bored White Tiger rolled around on the soft bed. The expensive sheets and blankets had all been torn to shreds by its sharp claws.
In the past few days, Jianchen had not left the inn at all. He had basically spent all his time cultivating. He was waiting for the leaders of the various organizations to recover from their injuries and deal with the matters of their clans before leaving Cloud Capital.
"Captain of the Flame Mercenaries, quickly come out and greet us." At this moment, a thunderous voice rang out from the sky. The voice was so loud that it reverberated through the surroundings. It caused the streets to tremble and the buildings to shake. Even the clouds in the sky were shaken. Everyone in the city heard the majestic voice that seemed to come from a god.
The entire city fell silent at first before suddenly erupting with a deafening noise. Everyone raised their heads to look at the sky, as if they were searching for something.
"I see it, I see it. There, there, there are two people hovering in the sky. They're peak Heaven Saint Masters." Suddenly, an excited voice rang out. A middle-aged man pointed at the sky as he cried out emotionally.
Everyone looked over when they heard the voice. Sure enough, they discovered that there were two figures that were the size of ants in the sky above Cloud Capital. They were like gods that had descended to the mortal world.
"There's actually two Heaven Saint Masters. They must have come for the Flame Mercenaries. The Flame Mercenaries are done for."
"The Flame Mercenaries have caused a disaster. Look at how aggressive the two Heaven Saint Masters are. They must have come to wipe out the Flame Mercenaries."
Everyone discussed with each other. Many people rejoiced in the misfortune of the Flame Mercenaries, but a few organizations that had already joined the Flame Mercenaries paled.
The city lord hurriedly ran out of the hall in the city lord's estate. He excitedly looked at the two Heaven Saint Masters in the sky and said, "Two Heaven Saint Masters. His majesty has actually sent two Heaven Saint Masters. Fantastic, fantastic. The Flame Mercenaries are finally done for."
Over a dozen Earth Saint Masters who had already joined the Flame Mercenaries emerged from various places in the city. Their expressions all changed when they saw the two Heaven Saint Masters hovering in the sky. The people who had joined the Flame Mercenaries under Jianchen were obviously overjoyed, while the people who had joined of their own accord were all worried.
A single Heaven Saint Master was already impressive enough. Now that two had come, they felt extremely pressured.
Within the inn, Jianchen slowly opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
At this moment, the door was pushed open and Ming Dong and the others all walked in.
"Jianchen, two Heaven Saint Masters have come. They're extremely arrogant, even swaggering in the sky. It's as if they're afraid that no one knows who they are. Hmph, if they dare to come down, I'll beat them until they vomit blood and flee," Ming Dong sneered. Heaven Saint Masters were no longer undefeatable existences in his eyes.
"Captain of the Flame Mercenaries, hurry up and come out to see us. Don't hide in the city like a coward." At this moment, a thunderous voice rang out in the sky again. It was extremely loud.
Ming Dong's face suddenly sank. He furiously said, "God dammit, who is this? They're just too arrogant."
