The middle-aged man's gaze was completely drawn away by the Winged Tiger on Jianchen's shoulder. The Tian Yuan Continent was so large, so he was extremely surprised that he could find the Winged Tiger in such a short amount of time. He also felt some excitement.
A while later, the middle-aged man finally shifted his gaze from the White Tiger to the golden-robed Nubis. A sliver of surprise immediately flashed through his eyes. He said in surprise, "That's actually Nubis. Why is Nubis with them?" The middle-aged man pondered slightly before saying, "With his strength, he should be able to sense the power of the Winged Tiger's bloodline. Looks like he's already made his choice. He plans on assisting the Winged Tiger's growth, but only death awaits him if he does that."
"I just never thought that Jianchen would have a human Saint Ruler and a Class 7 Golden-Striped Silver Snake by his side. Although I can kill them, it'll definitely alarm the Saint Rulers of the Qin Empire. At the same time, we're just too close to Mercenary City. Once the supreme experts of Mercenary City discover that I've entered the human world, I'll be in danger as well. Looks like I can't act recklessly right now. Whatever, I'll let you live for a few more days," the middle-aged man thought. The middle-aged man calmly pondered, and the illusory body gradually disappeared from the 10,000 meters in the sky, completely disappearing.
Jianchen and the others did not realize that they had been followed at all. They traveled in a straight line toward the imperial palace of the Qin Empire, arriving in the imperial city of the Qin Empire before long.
Under Jianchen's signal, they all descended from the sky and chose to walk toward the imperial palace. With Jianchen's identity as the Imperial Protector, he was able to enter the imperial palace without any obstructions even though he had to bring a few strangers with him. Wherever he passed, people would greet Jianchen politely.
At this moment, four tremendous presences radiated from the Qin Empire. They were like four ancient beasts that had awakened from their slumber. Their presences surged into the sky, enveloping the entire region and causing the surrounding air to freeze at that moment. Four figures flew out from the various halls of the imperial palace at the same time. They left behind blurs in the air as if they were moving through space. They shot toward Jianchen's group with unbelievable speed, surrounding them in a square.
"Greetings to the four seniors!" Jianchen remained calm as he greeted the four people with a smile. He knew that these four people were the Qin Empire's Imperial Protector. They were all Saint Kings and he had met two of them before.
"Jianchen, it's actually you!" A middle-aged man looked at Jianchen in surprise. He then glanced at Nubis and Jiede Tai in golden robes. He frowned and asked, "Jianchen, may I ask who these two are?" With his strength, he could naturally sense that Nubis and Jiede Tai were both Saint Kings.
"Four seniors, these two are Jiede Tai and Nubis. They are both good friends of mine." Jianchen explained with a smile.
Hearing this, the four Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire were all shocked. They stared at Jianchen in shock. They had never thought that Jianchen would actually have two Saint Kings as his good friends. This was a force that even the Qin Empire had to pay attention to.
"It's the great Nubis!" Nubis glared and shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Hehe, the great Nubis, just how great are you? Why can't I see it at all?" Wang Yifeng laughed at Nubis.
When Wang Yifeng's words fell into Nubis' ears, the proud Nubis immediately took it as an insult and provocation. This was especially so when Wang Yifeng was a weakling who couldn't even compare to an ant in his eyes. How could he, who was born with pride, accept this insult?
Nubis's face immediately darkened. His eyes flashed with a red light. A powerful aura radiated from his body and pressed down on Wang Yifeng. He grabbed Wang Yifeng's neck and said coldly, "Brat, how dare you speak to the great Nubis like this? Are you tired of living? Do you believe that I, the great Nubis, will kill you right now?"
Wang Yifeng's neck was tightly gripped by Nubis. His whole body couldn't move at all. A suffocating feeling came from his chest. This made him feel that he was so close to death at this moment. Especially when he saw Nubis's red eyes, he didn't doubt that the other party would really kill him in a fit of anger.
"Nubis, what are you doing? Let go!" Jianchen shouted. His eyes suddenly became sharp, like a sword that was unsheathed. Nubis's behavior made Jianchen very angry. After all, Wang Yifeng was one of them, not an enemy.
Nubis tilted his head and glanced at Jianchen. He shrugged and said, "Brat, I'll forgive you this time for Jianchen's sake. Remember, don't speak to me, the great Nubis, like that in the future. Otherwise, even if you have a good relationship with Jianchen, I, the great Nubis, will kill you without any hesitation." Nubis let go of Wang Yifeng's hand, and Wang Yifeng immediately knelt on the ground as he gasped for breath. His forehead was covered in sweat.
"You're not a human. You're a magical beast." An Imperial Protector from the Qin Empire growled. They could all sense Nubis's true identity from the presence Nubis gave off.
"You're a member of the Gilligan clan?" Another Imperial Protector growled. When the other three Imperial Protector heard his words, their expressions all changed.
Nubis glanced at the four Imperial Protectors indifferently and said proudly, "Don't associate me, the great Nubis, with the people of the Gilligan clan. I, the great Nubis, have nothing to do with them."
"Seniors, please don't misunderstand. Nubis may be a magical beast, but he's not a member of the Gilligan clan. Moreover, he's already my friend, so he's not an outsider." Jianchen explained. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Nubis's violent personality, the most important thing right now was to explain their relationship clearly to avoid any misunderstandings.
"If that's the case, then he's not an outsider." The four Imperial Protector from the Qin Empire all let out a sigh of relief. However, they were all extremely curious. They had no idea how Jianchen had befriended such a powerful magical beast, which made the four of them very envious. This was because magical beasts were naturally more powerful than humans of the same level. There were a few rare species that could even kill people who were stronger than them.
Wang Yifeng immediately trembled when he heard that Nubis was a magical beast. His gaze toward Nubis was filled with deep fear and disbelief. Only now did he understand that the young man who seemed even younger than him was actually a Class 7 Magical Beast. He was equivalent to a Saint Ruler in the human world.
At this moment, a series of footsteps rang out. Soldiers quickly surrounded the area from all directions. Over twenty Heaven Saint Masters hovered in the sky. All the Imperial Protectors in the imperial palace of the Qin Empire had been mobilized.
These people had clearly been disturbed by the presence of the Imperial Protector from the Qin Empire. The presence of the four Imperial Protector earlier had enveloped the entire area, alarming everyone in the imperial palace and causing them to be on high alert.
"All of you, back off. Do what you need to do," an Imperial Protector said. An Imperial Protector said. Although his voice was very calm, it still rang in the ears of every soldier.
The soldiers in the surroundings immediately retreated like the tide. They had come quickly and dispersed quickly. However, over twenty Heaven Saint Masters had all arrived. When they recognized the four Imperial Protectors, they were all shocked. The four Imperial Protectors of the Qin Empire had always cultivated in seclusion in the Qin Heavenly Hall. They had not taken a single step out of the hall for several decades. Now that all four of them had appeared outside, they could not help but feel surprised.
"We greet the Imperial Protector!" The twenty Imperial Protectors bowed in unison. They were extremely respectful.
An Imperial Protector waved his hand and said in a calm voice, "You can all disperse."
"Yes, sir!" The twenty Imperial Protectors replied in unison. However, they curiously studied Jiede Tai and the others beside Jianchen before silently retreating. However, they were not as calm as they seemed on the surface. The four Imperial Protectors had actually stepped out of the Qin Heavenly Hall together with a few strangers beside Jianchen. This made them realize that the four Imperial Protectors definitely valued them.
"Jianchen, we heard about your predicament in Mercenary City a few months ago. Although we really want to help you, our Qin Empire is facing pressure from other sources, so we are powerless to do anything. I hope you don't mind," an Imperial Protector smiled at Jianchen apologetically. Whether it was the matter of Jian Chen's actions in Mercenary City or the two Saint Rulers by his side, it was enough for the four of them to treat him seriously.
Jianchen chuckled. He casually chatted with the four Imperial Protectors before getting to the main topic. He said, "Seniors, something has probably happened at home, so I must return immediately. Let's meet again in the future."
"Alright. If that's the case, we won't waste your time, little brother Jianchen."
