In the backyard of the Jiede Family, there was a forbidden area. Very few people entered this area, but this forbidden area was a sacred place in the hearts of the Jiede Family members. Anyone who passed by the forbidden area would bow respectfully towards the forbidden area, showing extreme respect.
This was because this forbidden area was where the ancestor of the Jiede clan cultivated in seclusion. He was the only Saint Ruler of the Jiede clan and the Jiede clan's status as a reclusive clan was supported by him alone.
Inside the forbidden area was a garden. All kinds of flowers bloomed with their gorgeous colors, and the thick fragrance of the flowers filled the entire space. A large number of colorful butterflies flapped their wings and danced among the flowers, adding a bit of liveliness to this deathly silent garden.
In the center of the garden, there was a small wooden house. This wooden house had clearly existed for a very long time. It was simple and old. Although it was built with special wood, it still could not withstand the baptism of time. It looked like it could not withstand the wind and rain and could collapse at any time. It was like an old man standing there with trembling legs, towering and within reach.
Inside the hut, the ancestor of the Jiede clan sat before a table with a heavy heart. His eyebrows were tightly knit together and his face was filled with worry.
Ever since he had fled from Mercenary City a month ago, he had not had a single day of peace. The incident that had occurred in Mercenary City had greatly affected him. Jianchen had actually been able to act so recklessly in Mercenary City without being punished. This was something that he found hard to believe and at the same time, puzzling him.
As a Saint Ruler who had lived for over two thousand years, the ancestor of the Jiede clan knew quite a lot. He also knew a lot about the barrier of Mercenary City. The amount of information he knew far exceeded that of a Heaven Saint Master.
Jianchen had violated the rules of Mercenary City without being punished. In the eyes of others, Jianchen was related to the people in power in Mercenary City. However, the ancestor of the Jiede clan was not so naive as to believe that.
This was because he knew that the barrier of Mercenary City had already gained sentience and possessed a spirit of the barrier. It had existed for countless years and its status was unparalleled in Mercenary City. Other than Mo Tianyun, who had founded Mercenary City, no one could order the spirit of the barrier to do anything, not even the grand elder of Mercenary City.
As such, he firmly believed that Jianchen had not been punished in Mercenary City and had nothing to do with the people in power in Mercenary City. However, what method did Jianchen use to escape punishment was something that the ancestor of the Jiede clan was rather puzzled.
However, this was not important. What really worried him was Jianchen's talent and the missing Ruler Weapon, the Cloud Splitter Sword.
The ancestor of the Jiede clan knew that with Jianchen's talent, he would definitely reach the Saint Ruler realm in the future. Having such a powerful enemy was definitely not a good thing for the Jiede clan. Furthermore, the Ruler Weapon was extremely important to the Jiede clan. Even now, the ancestor of the Jiede clan had not lost his determination to retrieve the Ruler Weapon.
This was because the Ruler Weapon was not only the heirloom of the Jiede clan, it was also a symbol of their strength. At the same time, it was also a treasure passed down from generation to generation. Its significance was extraordinary. In addition, the Ruler Weapon was the key to breaking through to the Holy Emperor realm in the future.
This was because Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers were able to fuse with Ruler Weapons. Once they successfully fused with a Ruler Weapon, their chances of breaking through to the Saint Ruler realm would greatly increase. Even if they were unable to break through, their strength would still soar.
"Mercenary City is definitely not a place to be. But what if that Jianchen continues to stay in Mercenary City? Sooner or later, he will successfully break through to the Saint Ruler realm. At that time, he will not be so easy to deal with. It seems that I have to think of a way. Even if we cannot retrieve the Ruler Weapon, we cannot let Jianchen continue to live. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for the Jiede clan in the future." The ancestor of the Jiede clan muttered to himself with a solemn expression.
Suddenly, a powerful aura came from outside. Feeling this powerful aura filled with provocation, the ancestor of the Jiede clan was stunned. He whispered, "What a powerful aura. Just who is it?" As soon as he finished speaking, the ancestor of the Jiede clan stood up and walked outside. From the aura, he could tell that the other party was not friendly.
A hundred meters above the Jiede clan, a white-robed Jianchen was floating in the air, looking down at the people below. His expression was cold and his eyes were sharp. A powerful aura was emitted from his body, enveloping the entire Jiede clan and alarming everyone below.
Immediately, over a dozen experts flew up from various places. They all arrived at the same height as Jian Chen and surrounded him. They stared at him with hostility.
Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!
Four earth-shattering roars could be heard coming from all four directions. Following that, the entire forest started to tremble slightly. The few Class 6 Demonic Beasts that were guarding the Jiede Family sensed that something was amiss and rushed over from all directions.
These Class 6 Magical Beasts were different from the wild Magical Beasts that grew up in the Cross Cross Mountain Range. They had been trained by the Jiede clan since they were young. It took a lot of effort and effort to train them up, so the bond between them and the Magical Beasts had long reached a point where they were glued to each other. Over the years, these Class 6 Magical Beasts had been the guardian beasts of the Jiede Family, silently protecting the Jiede Family from being disturbed by mercenaries who had accidentally barged into their territory.
Boom! Boom! Boom! …..
Following a series of muffled sounds, four gigantic Magical Beasts appeared in front of Jianchen. Walking in the mountain range, they were like moving hills. Every step they took caused the ground to tremble slightly.
Their bodies were completely black, and they stood up like humans. They walked on their two legs and were no different from humans. However, they were more than thirty meters tall, which was much taller than some large trees.
"Boom!" With a final thud, the four pitch-black Class 6 Magical Beasts all stopped two hundred meters away from Jian Chen. They stood in four directions, surrounding Jian Chen in all directions.
"Bloodthirsty Demon Ape!" Jianchen glanced at the four Class 6 Magical Beasts and his eyes flashed with surprise. The Bloodthirsty Demon Ape was an ape type of Magical Beast, but its temperament was extremely violent and it was extremely difficult to tame. Yet, the Jiede clan had actually chosen to tame these four Bloodthirsty Demon Apes to be their Magical Beasts. This really surprised him.
"Sir, who are you? Please state your purpose for coming here!" An old man glared at Jian Chen with an unfriendly attitude. The moment Jian Chen arrived, he released a powerful aura that enveloped the entire Jiede Family. Such provocation had infuriated all the experts of the Jiede Family.
Jianchen slowly crossed his arms and calmly stared at the Heaven Saint Masters around him. He coldly smiled and said, "I am the Jianchen you are looking for. Today, I have personally come to pay a visit to the Jiede clan."
"What? You are Jianchen …"
"So you are Jianchen …"
"Jianchen, you sure have guts. You actually dared to come to our doorstep and seek death …"
After learning of Jianchen's identity, the Jiede clan's experts were all shocked. They then coldly laughed and looked at Jianchen with undisguised killing intent.
"Roar!"
Sensing the killing intent from the Jiede clan's experts, the four Bloodthirsty Demon Apes seemed to have realized that the person in front of them was an enemy. They all let out a roar and their fist-sized eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty red light.
The arrogance of the four Class 6 Magical Beasts made the White Tiger, who was originally lying on Jianchen's shoulder, unhappy. It immediately stood up and puffed out its chest. It opened its mouth and let out a whimper at the four Bloodthirsty Demon Apes. Although it was incomparably arrogant, it was still young and only had the strength of a Class 4 Magical Beast. Furthermore, its bloodline had yet to fully awaken. The weak aura of a Winged Tiger was not something a Class 6 Magical Beast could sense. Therefore, the actions of the White Tiger not only did not deter the four Class 6 Magical Beasts, but it also completely enraged the violent Bloodthirsty Demon Apes.
The four Bloodthirsty Demon Apes let out a violent roar in unison before taking heavy steps and charging towards Jianchen.
Seeing the actions of the four Bloodthirsty Demon Apes, the Jiede clan did not stop them. Instead, they retreated a certain distance to give them enough space.
This was because they had heard of Jianchen's strength. He was able to withstand the Heaven Tier Battle Skills of four Heaven Saint Masters by himself and even kill them all. Such a powerful figure was not easy to deal with. They could use the Bloodthirsty Demon Apes to test out Jianchen's strength.
The four Bloodthirsty Demon Apes arrived below Jianchen and leapt up from the ground. Their mountain-sized bodies immediately became as light as a feather. They actually flew high into the air and headed straight for Jianchen who was floating a hundred meters in the air.
