"It's gone, it no longer exists!" Jianchen said with a serious expression. He was not afraid of a Saint Ruler in Mercenary City.
"What? Gone? No longer exists? " The Saint Ruler of the Jiede clan found it hard to maintain his composure. His expression changed drastically as he looked at Jianchen with a sharp gaze, like two unsheathed swords.
This was because the Ruler Armament was just too important to them. It was not just a simple family heirloom, it was also a powerful weapon.
"That's right, what you want is no longer here." Jianchen said with a faint smile.
Both of their expressions changed for a while, but they quickly regained their composure.
They did not believe that Jianchen had the ability to destroy a Ruler Armament. Let alone a Heaven Saint Master, even a Saint Ruler would not be able to damage a Ruler Armament with a Heaven Tier Battle Skill. After all, it was an item left behind by a Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. How could it be so easily destroyed?
The Saint Ruler of the Shi family coldly snorted and said, "Jianchen, it seems that you don't want to return what belongs to us. To tell you the truth, the Seal of Treasure Mountain has been refined by our Saint Rulers for many years. Only those with the bloodline of our Shi family can use the Seal of Treasure Mountain. Since you are not a member of the Shi family, you naturally do not have the bloodline of our Shi family. Even if you have the secret technique, you will not be able to use the Seal of Treasure Mountain. This item is not only useless to you, it will only cause you more trouble. Why don't you return it to us and the enmity between our families will be written off and our Shi family will not pursue the matter of you killing several of our experts."
"That's right, Jian Chen. We will definitely take back the Ruler Armament. While we're still in a good mood, why don't you just return the Ruler Armament to us? Furthermore, the enmity between you and the Jiede clan will be written off. We won't cause you any more trouble in the future and you won't have to stay in Mercenary City anymore," the Saint Ruler of the Jiede clan said sincerely.
Although Jianchen was right in front of them, they did not dare to make a move within Mercenary City. If Jianchen continued to stay in Mercenary City, they would not be able to obtain the Ruler Armament. Instead of waiting like this, they decided to be tactful and take back the Ruler Armament.
"I'm sorry, but I've already made myself very clear. I really don't have what you want anymore," Jian Chen smiled. He was unmoved by force or persuasion.
The faces of the two Saint Rulers from the Shi and Jiede clans turned ugly. This was bad news for them because they were worried that the Ruler Armament of their clans would fall into the hands of other powers. If that happened, it would not be so easy to take it back.
"Who has the Seal of Treasure Mountain?" The Shi Saint Ruler asked.
Jianchen pointed to the sky and said, "It is no longer with anyone. It has already disappeared from this world. Or rather, it has become a part of my body." The Seal of Treasure Mountain and the Cloud Breaker Sword had been refined into Primal Chaos Force to strengthen his body, so Jianchen's explanation was very appropriate.
However, Jianchen's last words shocked the two Saint Rulers. Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
"What? The Seal of Treasure Mountain has already become a part of your body? Have you already fused with it? " The Saint Ruler of the Shi Family stood up from his chair in shock. Even the Saint Ruler of the Jiede Family had his eyes wide open in disbelief.
Jianchen's heart skipped a beat. From the conversation between the two Saint Rulers, he seemed to have learned more about how to use the Ruler Armament.
"Could it be that the Ruler Armament can be fused with the body?" This piece of information was extremely important to him. Right now, he was lacking a suitable weapon. If a King Armament could really fuse with his body, then before he finished forging the Azulet Swords, he would be able to find a King Armament that was compatible with the Light Wind Sword.
Unfortunately, even though he knew that a King Armament could be fused with one's body, he didn't know the exact method to do so. Even though the two Saint Rulers in front of him knew about this, he couldn't ask them about it. After all, even if he knew the method, finding a King Armament that was compatible with the Light Wind Sword wouldn't be easy. Thus, Jian Chen understood that he could only think about it for a while. It wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. The Ruler Armament was left behind by a Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. If you want to fuse with the Ruler Armament, you need to be a Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. You are only a Heaven Saint Master, how can you fuse with the Ruler Armament? Jianchen, do you really think we are three year olds who do not know anything?" The Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan shook his head. He secretly let out a sigh of relief. If the Ruler Armament really did fuse with the body, then the Jiede clan would lose the Ruler Armament forever.
Hearing the words of the Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan, Jianchen sighed in disappointment. He did not think that he would need to be a Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler to be able to fuse with the Ruler Armament. This was still too far away from him.
"I have already said what I wanted to say. It is up to you whether you believe me or not. Seniors, this junior still has matters to attend to. Farewell." Jianchen was too lazy to continue eating. He stood up and left the table, quickly disappearing from the sight of the two Saint Rulers from the Shi and Jiede clans.
The two Saint Rulers from the Shi and Jiede clans stared blankly at Jianchen's back. Ever since they had become Saint Rulers, this was the first time a Heaven Saint Master had not given them any face.
After a while, the Shi Saint Ruler clenched his fists and stared coldly at the spot where Jianchen had disappeared. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Jianchen, since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then don't blame us."
Hearing this, the Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan sighed and said, "It is a pity that this is Mercenary City and we have no place to use our strength. We can't do anything to him. But where did he put the Ruler Armament? Why can't I sense the Ruler Armament when I am so close to him?"
"The Ruler Armament must be on him. He must have used some special method to cut off our connection with the Ruler Armament. Hmph, he has the Mark of Death on him. No matter where he goes, I will be able to find him unless he stays in Mercenary City for the rest of his life." The Saint Ruler from the Shi clan said in a low voice. He then left the inn with the Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan.
Not long after the two Saint Rulers left, quite a few people left the inn. They were all from large clans and they all hurried back to report what had happened to their superiors.
In a corner of the inn, Hu Xiaotian sat alone and ate roasted meat. He mumbled, "Their conversation was completely silent. This is the ability to control space. Only Saint Rulers can do this. Looks like little brother Jianchen's opponent is not simple. Should I help little brother Jianchen?"
Hu Xiaotian hesitated and sighed, "The clan has never interfered with the conflicts of the Tian Yuan Continent. With my strength as a Heaven Saint Master, even if I wanted to, I don't have the ability."
…
In the following days, Jianchen stayed in the inn and worked with the Sword Spirits to clear the Mark of Death on his body. He almost never left the inn.
During this time, many powerful organisations came to find Jianchen and claimed that they were willing to help Jianchen solve his current problems. However, almost all of their conditions were for Jianchen to join their organisation. Some even offered better conditions, but they were all rejected by Jianchen. This was because Jianchen did not want to add too many burdens to his shoulders.
As these large organisations tried to rope in Jianchen, the Saint Rulers from the Shi clan and Jiede clan began to worry. This was because the organisations that dared to try and rope in Jianchen were not weaker than them. There were even some that they feared. However, in the face of such a situation, the two of them could not do anything. The only thing they could do was wait and see.
Although their two clans had some relations, they knew very well that no one was willing to offend Jian Chen at a time like this. It would be pointless to call him out.
Several days later, the third prince of the Qin Empire, Qin Ji, accompanied by several Imperial Advisors, came to Mercenary City to find Jianchen. Under the orders of the four Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire, he personally passed on a message to Jianchen. He told Jianchen to stay in Mercenary City for the next few days and not to go out. He also told him not to make enemies for the Qin Empire.
Qin Ji did not stay in Mercenary City for long. After passing on the message, he exchanged a few pleasantries with Jianchen before hurriedly leaving the city. He left in such a hurry that Jianchen could sense that something big was about to happen in the Qin Empire.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. In these two months, Jianchen had been constantly removing the Mark of Death from his body. After two months of hard work, he had removed two-thirds of the Mark of Death that the third elder had left in his body. Once the Mark of Death was completely removed, he would no longer have anything to fear. He would be able to escape the control of the Shi clan and Jiede clan and regain his freedom.
In an inn not far away, the two Saint Rulers from the Shi family and the Jiede clan were standing by the window, staring at Jian Chen's room. The Ruler Armament was just too important to them, so the task of monitoring Jian Chen was left to the two of them. They were afraid that something might go wrong.
"Jianchen has not taken a single step out of his room for half a month. I heard that he had successfully escaped from our careful surveillance. Shi Qing, since Jianchen has the Mark of Death from your clan, go and check if he is still there. Don't let him slip away under our noses," the Saint King from the Jiede clan said.
The Saint King of the Shi Clan nodded and closed his eyes to sense the existence of the Mark of Death. However, his expression changed in the next moment. He exclaimed, "Oh no, the Mark of Death is weakening rapidly and is about to disappear. He has been trying to get rid of the Mark of Death on him all this time."
