Jianchen could not help but sneer as he coldly stared at the sect master's shocked expression. He said, "Sect master Chris, I never thought that we would meet again so soon."
Chris was extremely pale. He looked back at the Heaven Saint Masters behind him and despair filled his eyes.
A few days ago, when they had gone to find Jianchen with the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, Jianchen had killed over a dozen Heaven Saint Masters with a single palm strike, causing the sect's strength to plummet. The Heaven Saint Masters behind him were the last of what the sect had accumulated over the past several thousand years.
The expressions of the Heaven Saint Masters of the Dragon and Tiger Sect all changed when they heard that the person who had come was Jianchen. Although they had not participated in the matter a few days ago, they had all heard about how Jianchen had killed over a dozen Heaven Saint Masters with a single palm strike. They knew that although he was young, his strength had already surpassed that of a Heaven Saint Master and reached a supreme level of cultivation. He was on a completely different level from them.
"Jianchen, w- w- what do you want?" Chris' voice began to tremble as he glanced past Jianchen's group of three. Even with his mental fortitude, he had been frightened by such a powerful group of people. Over a dozen Heaven Saint Masters were not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. They could be wiped out with just a flick of a finger. They did not even have the ability to flee.
Jianchen could not help but smile when he saw the sect master's terrified appearance. He said, "Sect master Chris, there's no need to be afraid. We've not come to make trouble for you Heaven Saint Masters. Hurry up and call your Saint Ruler back."
The sect master and the Heaven Saint Masters behind him finally let out a long sigh of relief when they heard that Jianchen had not come to make trouble for them. They finally calmed down. However, Jianchen's words made their faces become bitter.
"Jianchen, our old sect master hasn't returned!" Chris whispered as he carefully observed Jianchen's expression. He was afraid that Jianchen would kill them all with a single palm strike. Now, their lives were completely in Jianchen's hands.
"What? Your Saint Ruler isn't here?" Jianchen's face sank as he coldly asked.
Chris' heart trembled when he saw Jianchen's sharp gaze. He hurriedly added, "Ever since we separated from the old sect master a few days ago, he hasn't returned. We don't know where he went either."
Nubis licked his lips and said to Jianchen, "He's right, that person really hasn't returned. There's no smell of him in the air.
Jianchen remained silent for a while before saying, "Looks like we need to start with the other two if we want to find him. Nubis, don't you know the whereabouts of one of them? Take us there."
"My sense of him is becoming weaker and weaker. He's currently purging the poison I left in him. We need to hurry. Once he purges the poison from his body, I'll lose my sense of him as well," Nubis said.
"There's no time to lose. Let's hurry over," Jianchen said before quickly leaving with Nubis and Huang Tianba.
The group of people from the Dragon Tiger Sect let out a sigh of relief when they saw Jianchen's group disappear from their sight. Fine beads of sweat had even appeared on their foreheads. Although Jianchen, Huang Tianba, and Huang Tianba did not radiate with the presences of Saint Rulers, just the presence of three Saint Rulers made them feel extremely pressured, enough to make them tremble in fear.
"Sect master, what should we do? Although he hasn't made things difficult for us right now, who can guarantee that he won't make things difficult for us in the future?"
"With their strength as Saint Rulers, they obviously wouldn't bother to touch us, but they still have the equally powerful Flame Mercenaries under them. Do you think Jianchen will send people to wipe us out? We're not the Flame Mercenaries' opponent at all with our current strength."
"Sigh, if we knew this day would come, we wouldn't have offended such a genius with unprecedented talent. We're just asking for trouble."
The group of Heaven Saint Masters from the Dragon Tiger Sect all chimed in. All of them had bitter expressions. They felt extremely uneasy after offending such a powerful enemy.
"Sect master, the Flame Mercenaries are too close to us. It's no longer safe for us to stay here. Let's just move the entire sect," an old man said from beside Chris.
"Yeah. Sect master, let's just move the entire sect. That way, we might be a little safer," someone immediately agreed as soon as the old man finished speaking.
Chris shook his head and gently sighed, "Moving the sect is easier said than done. Although we don't have a lot of disciples, there are still several thousand of them. With such a large group, we won't be able to hide our tracks no matter where we go. We won't be able to do it without anyone noticing. And now that the Flame Mercenaries have become so famous, they're very famous in a radius of a hundred thousand kilometers. Everyone dares to show them respect. If they want to find us, they'll be able to find us easily no matter where we go. Where do you think we can run to? There's nowhere to hide. There's nowhere to hide. Unless we abandon the disciples of the sect and flee by ourselves, but I can't do something like that. "
"Then what do we do? Are we just going to stay here and wait for death?" Someone asked.
"Our enmity with Jianchen isn't very deep. It's just that the old sect master and Jianchen seem to have a very great enmity with each other. Look, Jianchen's group didn't do anything to us when they came, so I don't think Jianchen has any intentions of killing us either. There's still a chance for this matter to turn around. I'll personally pay a visit one day and ask for punishment. I hope this matter can be reduced to a small matter," said Chris.
…
In a primitive mountain range, there was a very simple and unadorned villa. The villa was very quiet, not a single sound came out, and not a single person moved. It was as silent as death. It looked like a deserted villa that had been abandoned for a long time. However, the huge villa still maintained a spotless cleanliness.
At this moment, a white-robed, burly old man sat in a large room in the villa with a troubled expression. His face was filled with worry, and he was extremely uneasy.
At this moment, a series of light footsteps were heard. An old man in sackcloth slowly walked over and sat opposite the burly old man.
"Ge Qiu, has the poison in your body been completely purged?" The tall and sturdy old man asked the old man in the sackcloth.
Ge Qiu nodded slightly and said with a heavy voice, "The Golden-striped Silver Snake's poison really lives up to its name. It can even pose a fatal threat to Saint Rulers. If it weren't for the fact that I was much stronger than the snake, I definitely wouldn't have been able to purge the poison from my body so easily."
Ge Qiu paused. He looked at the old man and scolded, "Situ Qing, I've already told you not to get involved with the affairs of the mortal world, but you refused to listen. Look at it now. You've offended such a powerful enemy that even the grand elder of Mercenary City has come. I'd like to see how you're going to deal with this. If it weren't for the fact that the grand elder of Mercenary City disdained to act against us juniors due to his status, none of us would have been able to escape from under his nose so smoothly."
Situ Qing was stern. She said with a heavy voice, "I never thought that Jianchen would have such a great backing, actually being related to the grand elder of Mercenary City. He even has a similarly powerful beast of ancient times by his side. Sigh, it'll be even more difficult to kill him now."
Ge Qiu glared at her and said, "Situ Qing, I think you're just looking to die. You're still thinking about killing Jianchen even at this point. You better think about how to protect yourself. Although hiding here will be safer for now, it's not a long-term plan. They'll find this place sooner or later, and they'll drag my Sihe manor into this as well. Sigh, even I've been dragged into this by helping you."
"Ge Qiu, you're right. Staying here isn't a long-term plan. Once they find me, it'll drag your Sihe manor down as well. It's best if I leave." Situ Qing immediately stood up and planned to leave.
