She was a young woman who only seemed to be in her twenties. She wore a short red skirt with a red belt around her slender waist, perfectly outlining her devilish figure. Her jade-like arms that were exposed to the sunlight were white and tender, shining like precious gems. They were as dazzling as a piece of jade. Coupled with her slender, round legs, it was a beautiful sight that could attract the eyes of countless men. She was a woman who was in her twenties.

Coupled with her slender, round legs, it was a beautiful sight that could attract the eyes of countless men.
Although the woman's appearance could not be described as devastatingly beautiful and could not be compared to You Yue and Huang Luan, she was still a natural beauty that was rare in the world. Especially her devilish figure and the natural charm that was emitted from her body, she was able to surpass You Yue and Huang Luan who had an advantage in terms of appearance.
An old woman and an old man stood to the two sides of the woman. The two of them wore simple clothes, and they had white hair and ruddy complexions. They seemed like an ordinary old couple.
"Tianmu Ling, it's actually you!" Jianchen stared blankly at the woman in red. His face was filled with surprise because she was one of the young geniuses that had participated in the Mercenary Tournament.
"Hehehe, little brother Jianchen, I never thought that you would recognize me. I'm really flattered." Tianmu Ling's phoenix eyes shone with a charming light as she stared at Jianchen. She touched her lips with her right hand and giggled, "Little brother Jianchen, I never thought that your strength would reach such a level after not seeing you for a few years. I really find it hard to believe. You can actually fight Saint Rulers without being defeated. I really admire you."
With that, Jianchen lowered his head and looked at his bloodied body. He bitterly smiled, "Tianmu Ling, don't make fun of me. Although I can fight Saint Rulers right now, I can only be beaten up by them."
Tianmu Ling giggled and said, "Little brother Jianchen, why don't you just follow me? I'll protect you in the future. Although my strength is nowhere near as great as yours and I'm still an Earth Saint Master, I can guarantee you that those Saint Rulers won't dare to bully you."
Jianchen's heart skipped a beat. From what Tianmu Ling had said, he had already guessed that the clan behind her was probably extremely powerful. At the very least, they did not treat the people present with any importance.
Jianchen glanced past the two old men beside Tianmu Ling. He wondered just how terrifying the strength of the two old men was.
"God dammit, we're so unlucky. Why are all the people here stronger than the last? The old man beside the girl has already reached the peak of Saint Ruler, only a step away from the Holy Emperor. He's infinitely close to the level of the Holy Emperor, while the old woman has reached the Eighth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler. The two of them can stop over a dozen Saint Rulers," Nubis grumbled beside Jianchen.
Jianchen was surprised when he heard that. He stared at the two old men beside Tianmu Ling in shock as his heart churned. He could not remain calm at all. He had never thought that Tianmu Ling's organization would be so powerful. Just the two old men were at the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Layer of Saint Rulers.
Seeing how Jianchen remained silent, Tianmu Ling turned to the two old men beside her. She grabbed one of the old men's arms and said coquettishly, "Grandpa Jun, granny Wang, you have to help little brother Jianchen, or I'll ignore you in the future."
"Hehehe, alright, alright, alright. We'll definitely help. Great-granddaughter, as long as your little brother Jianchen is willing to cooperate with us, we'll definitely help him." The old man referred to as grandpa Jun looked at Tianmu Ling lovingly. His eyes were filled with undisguised affection. Clearly, Tianmu Ling held a very important position in his heart.
"This young man really is not bad. He's neither arrogant nor rash. He's not as arrogant as the disciples of other clans, and his talent is very high as well. His potential is tremendous, and most importantly, he's extremely handsome. He's a good match for our Ling 'er. I like him," the old woman called granny Wang nodded with a smile.
"Granny Wang, don't speak nonsense. There's nothing between your great-granddaughter and Jianchen. It's not like what you're imagining," Tianmu Ling pouted unhappily.
The old woman smiled lovingly, "Yes, yes, yes. I'm overthinking things. I won't speak nonsense anymore. Great-granddaughter, please don't be angry at me."
"Of course not!" Tianmu Ling smiled proudly, then turned to Jianchen. She waved her hand and said, "Little brother Jianchen, come to us. Grandpa Jun and granny Wang will protect you."
Jianchen looked at Tianmu Ling and said, "Tianmu Ling, you must have come for the tungsten alloy mine, right?"
"Young man, you're straightforward. I like it. That's right, we've come all the way here for the tungsten alloy mine. Young man, this tungsten alloy mine isn't something that you can monopolize, because you don't have the ability to do so. Why don't you give half of the tungsten alloy mine to our Tianmu Clan? We'll naturally protect you and take on some of the other troubles for you. I wonder if you're willing," the old woman said.
Upon hearing the Tianmu Clan, everyone's expression changed.
"You're actually from the Tianmu Clan. I never thought that even people from the Tianmu Clan would come," a great elder from the Divine Sword Sect said with a solemn expression.
Huang Tianba, who was standing beside Jianchen, also became serious when he heard the Tianmu Clan. He said in a low voice, "The tungsten alloy mine is truly enticing. I never thought that even the Tianmu Clan would come. The Tianmu Clan is a true ancient clan. They're extremely powerful, and they even have the Holy Emperor."
"The Holy Emperor!" Jianchen gasped when he heard the name 'Holy Emperor'. An existence like that was akin to a god on the Tian Yuan Continent.
"I never thought that even an ancient clan would come. A clan like that can already challenge the Gilligan Clan." Nubis also gasped and sighed.
"Little brother Jianchen, the tungsten alloy mine is extremely precious. You can't give it to anyone, not even a little bit," Huang Tianba whispered to Jianchen.
"Little brother Jianchen, you can't listen to that old man. The tungsten alloy mine is very precious, but you're occupying such a large mine all by yourself. This will make many people jealous. If you don't have the corresponding strength, you'll only attract trouble for yourself. Why don't you follow me and cooperate with our Tianmu Clan?" Tianmu Ling said in a delicate voice.
The people in the surroundings didn't make a sound. Although they also had quite a large force behind them, they could only be considered as hermit clans. Compared to the Tianmu Clan, they weren't even worth mentioning. However, their eyes were filled with unwillingness. They really didn't want to see such a large treasure trove slip away from them.
"I never thought that people from your Tianmu Clan would come as well. Jun Mohao, Wang Yinhong, I never thought that the two of you would be leading the group." At this moment, another old voice rang out. Two old men with white hair and ruddy complexions flew over from afar. In the end, they stopped five hundred meters away from the group.
Seeing the two old men, the two old men that Tianmu Ling referred to as grandpa Jun and grandma Wang frowned at the same time. Grandma Wang said, "Aoyun Clan, you've actually come as well. You should also be here for the tungsten alloy mine."
"What! They're from the Aoyun Clan? " Huang Tianba was shocked. He stared at the two old men from the Aoyun Clan and whispered, "I've only heard of the Aoyun Clan before. This is the first time I've seen them. The Aoyun Clan is also an ancient clan. They're as famous as the Tianmu Clan. I never thought that two ancient clans that are rarely seen in thousands of years would actually come today."
"Another powerful enemy. Those two old men are at the Ninth or Seventh Heavenly Layer of Saint Rulers." Nubis said with a bitter expression. The number of experts present was increasing, and the situation was becoming more and more complicated. It had already escalated from a battle between hermit clans to a battle between ancient clans.
"That's right. We've indeed come for the tungsten alloy mine this time. Our Aoyun Clan must take a portion of the tungsten alloy mine," said one of the old men from the Aoyun Clan.
"It's a pity that you've come too late. Our Tianmu Clan has already taken half of the tungsten alloy mine. The remaining half belongs to Jianchen. There's no share for you," said the old woman beside Tianmu Ling.
Hearing that, the two old men from the Aoyun Clan's faces sank. They stared sharply at the blood-soaked Jianchen. One of the old men proudly said, "You should be Jianchen, right? Since the Tianmu Clan has already taken half of the mine, then give the other half to our Aoyun Clan. Our Aoyun Clan will definitely not treat you unfairly. What did the Tianmu Clan give you?
Our Aoyun Clan can also afford it. "
Jian Chen's complexion had already become extremely ugly. This Aoyun Clan was really too much. They actually wanted to swallow all the mineral resources in his hands in one gulp.
"Your Aoyun Clan is an ancient clan after all. You can't go too far. This mine belongs to little brother Jianchen, yet you're not leaving anything for him. That's going too far," Tianmu Ling frowned and said with dissatisfaction.
The two old men from the Aoyun Clan's faces changed at the same time. They both stared sharply at Tianmu Ling. Intense killing intent flickered in their eyes as they growled, "A mere Earth Saint Master dares to criticize our Aoyun Clan? Are you tired of living?"
"Hmph! If you dare touch a single hair on my great-granddaughter, the two of you can forget about leaving today. " Jun Mohao took a step forward and stood in front of Tianmu Ling. An extremely vast presence radiated from his body, causing everyone below the Fifth Heavenly Layer to find it difficult to breathe. It was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their chests.
Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers had already reached the peak of this realm. They were only a step away from the Holy Emperor. Just the presence of such a powerful existence was enough to cause great pressure to those below the Fifth Heavenly Layer.
