Huang Tianba could not help but sneer when he saw the jade powder in the black-robed old man's hand. He said, "Jin Tian, Jin Feng, looks like it's not just the two of you who have come this time. You've probably brought helpers as well."
"Huang Tianba, you've guessed correctly. It really isn't just the two of us who have come this time. There's a piece of good news that we might have told you before. Our Hongfu clan has already become in-laws with the Yan family. From now on, our two families will advance and retreat together. We'll share fortune and misfortune together. The person who has come with us this time is the former patriarch of the Yan family, Yan Nan," sneered a black-robed old man.
There were a total of two Saint Rulers in the Hongfu clan, and they were brothers. The old man who had spoken was one of the two Saint Rulers. His name was Jin Tian, and he was a Third Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. He also possessed a Ruler Armament. If he used the Ruler Armament, he could fight Fourth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers. Even if he came across Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers, he would still be able to hold his ground.
Jin Tian's younger brother, Jin Feng, was a Second Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. He also possessed a Ruler Armament. If he used the Ruler Armament, his battle prowess would be no weaker than a Third Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler, approaching Fourth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers. If the two of them worked together, they would be able to contend against Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers.
"Jin Tian, Jin Feng, does your Hongfu clan plan on fighting for the tungsten alloy mine as well?" Huang Tianba sneered.
"That's right, that's exactly what we plan on doing." The two experts from the Hongfu Clan didn't deny it. Jin Tian opened his mouth and said, "How precious is a tungsten alloy mine? It's ten times more precious than a purple gold mine. How can our Hongfu Clan miss such a huge treasure mountain?"
Huang Tianba snorted coldly, "Jin Tian, Jin Feng, you're dreaming if you want to fight for the tungsten alloy mine with just your Hongfu clan and Yan family. Don't you know that the captain of the Flame Mercenaries, Jianchen, is the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire?"
"Don't mention the Qin Empire to me. Although our Hong Fu clan is a hermit, we don't lack information at all. One of the three great empires of the Tian Yuan Continent, the Holy Emperor Empire, is about to change. As a subordinate country, the Qin Empire will also be affected. Right now, they can't even protect themselves, so how could they have the extra strength to interfere with this matter?" Jin Feng expressionlessly said.
"I didn't expect you to know so much," Huang Tianba said in a deep voice.
As soon as Huang Tianba's voice fell, a long whistle came from the distance. A figure shot over from the distance at lightning speed, finally stopping beside Jin Tian and Jin Feng. The three of them stood side by side, emitting a shocking aura, causing the air in this space to freeze.
This was a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old. He had long hair that reached his waist, fluttering wildly in the violent wind. His figure was very tall and sturdy, with the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear. Coupled with his dark skin, he looked like a fierce black bear.
Huang Tianba calmly looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Patriarch of the Yan family, your Yan family can completely stay out of this matter. Do you really want to interfere? You need to understand that the tungsten alloy mine is a hot potato. It's not that easy to obtain. With your Yan family and the Hongfu clan's strength, you really don't have the ability to protect the tungsten alloy mine."
"If you add us in, I wonder if you have the ability to obtain the tungsten alloy mine?" The Dragon Tiger Sect's Saint King, Situ Qing, sneered. His gaze shifted to the three experts from the Hongfu Family and Yan Family. He cupped his hands and said, "Three friends, I'm sure you all know that if we were to fight them alone, our strength would be on par with theirs. It wouldn't be easy to win. Why don't we join forces? Once we obtain the tungsten alloy lode, we'll split it fifty-fifty, fifty-fifty.
"That's great!" One of the Saint Rulers from the Hongfu clan agreed without hesitation. He understood the situation clearly. They were the weakest among the three forces. If they did not work together, they would not be able to defeat the other two forces.
"Then it's settled. Bi Hai will hold Huang Tianba back for now. The four of us will attack together and kill Jianchen first," said Situ Qing. Jianchen had already become a huge problem for him. Although he could suppress Jianchen with his current strength, he could not kill him. If he did not get rid of him soon, he would die at Jianchen's hands sooner or later.
"Alright, then let's act as soon as possible and take over the tungsten alloy mine as soon as possible. Long delays may lead to trouble," said the patriarch of the Yan family calmly. He did not take Jianchen seriously at all.
"Everyone, please wait for a moment!" Just as they were about to act, Jianchen suddenly spoke up.
"Jianchen, you're about to die. Do you have anything else to say?" Situ Qing coldly asked.
Jianchen stared at Situ Qing mockingly and said, "Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger sect, do you really think that you can take over the tungsten alloy mine just because you've joined forces with the Hongfu clan and the Yan family? Aren't you a little too naive? "
A cold light flashed through Situ Qing's eyes. He said, "Jianchen, you don't need to worry about that. You should think about your own safety first. Think about how you can escape today's disaster!"
"Alright, then I'll let you see how I escape today's disaster." Jianchen sneered. He then looked into the distance and loudly said, "Seniors who are hiding in the surroundings, since you've come, why hide? Show yourself." Jianchen's voice was extremely loud. His mighty voice reverberated in the surroundings, lingering for a long time and spreading to a radius of several dozen kilometers.
"Hahahaha, Jianchen, as expected of the King of Mercenaries who took first place in the last Mercenary Tournament. You really do have some ability. Not only have you reached such a level at such a young age, but you've even discovered us. Not bad, not bad. You really have a future ahead of you. "As soon as Jianchen finished speaking, an old voice followed closely behind. Although the voice was gentle, it resounded through the surroundings.
Following the voice, two white-robed old men suddenly appeared in the empty space ten kilometers away. At the same time, three more old men appeared several kilometers away from the two old men.
With the appearance of these five people, Situ Qing, who was originally confident of victory, immediately paled. She knew that things were bad. The three experts from the Hongfu Clan and the Yan Clan also became very serious at this moment. The sudden appearance of these five experts could easily change the situation of the battle.
"Everyone, we've watched enough. There's no need to hide anymore. Everyone, come out." An old man with white hair and a youthful face said to the surrounding people with a smile.
In the surrounding space, more and more people appeared out of thin air. In just a few breaths of time, there were more than a dozen unknown people in the surroundings. All of them had reached the supreme level of Saint King!
These people had been here since the beginning of the battle. They only used special methods to conceal their bodies and watched from several dozen kilometers away.
Situ Qing's expression had already become extremely ugly. This was because of the sudden appearance of the experts in the surroundings. Some of them were existences that she could not see through. And to be unable to see through their strength, it had to be a Saint Ruler of the Sixth Heavenly Layer or above.
The sudden appearance of these people caused Nubis and the old man to stop fighting. When they sensed the strength of these people, their faces all became stern.
Nubis returned to his human form and arrived before Jianchen as a golden streak of light. He stared at the experts in the surroundings and said with a deep voice, "This is troublesome. So many experts have actually come. There are four Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers and one of them has even reached the Seventh Heavenly Layer. Jianchen, I can't help you now."
Jianchen's expression changed slightly when he heard that. He said with a deep voice, "They must have come for the tungsten alloy mine. This tungsten alloy mine really is a hot potato. It's actually attracted so many experts. But don't worry, we're not easy to bully."
"That's right. What's there to be afraid of?" Huang Tianba sneered with his arms crossed.
A gleam of light flashed through Nubis's eyes when he saw how confident the two of them were. He did not say anything else.
On the other side, the ashen-faced old man also arrived beside the Saint Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect. He said with a deep voice, "Situ Qing, the situation is bad."
The Saint Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect nodded slightly. He looked at the ashen-faced old man and could not help but ask in concern, "Ge Qiu, you should hurry up and get rid of the poison in your body. The venom of this Golden-striped Silver Snake really is powerful. Even a Third Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler can threaten you."
Ge Qiu nodded slightly. He did not say anything else and immediately closed his eyes to get rid of the poison in his body.
At this moment, the experts in the surroundings gathered together. One of them, a ruddy old man, clasped his hands at Jianchen and smiled, "Old Man Jianchen, this is Jian Xu beside me. He is also a great elder of the Divine Sword Sect. Jianchen greets you."
"Greetings to the two seniors!" Jianchen smiled and clasped his hands at the old man.
"The Divine Sword Sect. I never thought that the Divine Sword Sect would actually send people here. This is a powerful sect that is comparable to an ancient clan. It has already existed for several tens of thousands of years." Huang Tianba was slightly surprised and exclaimed in a low voice.
Hearing this, Jianchen's expression changed slightly. His gaze towards the two old men also changed.
"We are from Bai Hua City. Little brother Jianchen, I am Bai Yan." A middle-aged man with an elegant temperament clasped his hands at Jianchen and said politely.
Afterwards, the experts in the surroundings all introduced themselves. All of them had deep backgrounds and were influential figures of powerful forces. Among them, there were even two forces that were comparable to an ancient clan. The Seventh Heavenly Layer Saint King belonged to a force that was comparable to an ancient clan.
Although they all had high statuses, they were still polite to Jianchen. This was because they had investigated Jianchen before and had some understanding of his identity. Adding on his current strength that was comparable to a Saint King, it was enough for them to treat him as an equal. Furthermore, he was a peerless genius with unprecedented talent.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, they did not want to offend such a person for no reason.
"Seniors, if my guess is correct, you should all be here for the tungsten alloy mine." Jianchen said calmly.
"Brother Jianchen is indeed straightforward. Our Bai Hua City will not beat around the bush and speak frankly. This time, our Bai Hua City has indeed come for the tungsten alloy mine. We hope that brother Jianchen can bear to part with 20% of the mine to our Bai Hua City. Of course, our Bai Hua City will not treat brother Jianchen unfairly and will definitely use other valuable items to exchange for it." The middle-aged man with an elegant temperament, Bai Yan, said.
"Our Divine Sword Sect also wishes to use valuable items to exchange for some tungsten alloy mines. We hope that brother Jianchen can part with 20% of the mines to our Divine Sword Sect." The Divine Sword Sect's Supreme Elder, Mo Ziming, said.
"Our Nine Suns Sect …"
Afterwards, the various large organizations all raised their own requests. They all wanted to occupy some of the tungsten alloy mines. Originally, they wanted to occupy all of the tungsten alloy mines, but now that the situation was complicated and several large organizations had gathered, no one had the ability to take all of it. As a result, they had no choice but to change their plans.
After hearing everyone's requests, Jianchen's face became extremely gloomy. Each of the organizations present wanted to occupy 10% to 20% of the mines. Although it was not much, if all of their requests were added together, it would be equivalent to occupying the entire tungsten alloy mine and not leaving anything for him. This was going too far.
At this moment, a bell-like voice suddenly rang out.
