Everyone who was discussing matters in the discussion hall was stunned by this sudden development. They all stared at the middle-aged man in a daze, unable to react. After all, this was the core area of the Flame Mercenaries. There were basically three layers of guards guarding this place tightly. Even a fly would not be able to get in. How had the middle-aged man managed to get in and even shattered the tightly shut doors of the discussion hall? All of this was just so unexpected.
After all, with the Flame Mercenaries' current reputation and strength, who would dare to provoke them in a radius of over a hundred thousand kilometers?
Jianchen, Nubis, and Jiede Tai all focused their gazes on the middle-aged man who had suddenly barged in. However, when Nubis saw the middle-aged man's appearance, his face immediately changed drastically. Disbelief filled his face as he could not help but cry out, "It's actually you! Y- y- y- y- y- why have you come out?"
Jianchen glanced at Nubis beside him. He was also puzzled. Nubis' expression clearly indicated that he knew who the middle-aged man was. However, Jianchen did not understand what had happened to make Nubis lose his composure like that.
The middle-aged man glared at Jianchen and sneered, "I never thought that a little snake like you would actually choose a human as a servant and willingly become a pawn of a human. It really does surprise me. Don't the Golden-Striped Silver Snakes of antiquity view their dignity as more important than their lives? You seem to be an exception."
Nubis's face immediately sank when he heard the middle-aged man's provocative words. The Golden-Striped Silver Snakes really did view their dignity as more important than anything else. The middle-aged man's words had touched Nubis' bottom line. He no longer cared about the identity of the person before him. He snorted coldly, "It's not up to you to interfere with what I, the great Nubis, do. Let alone you, even the great king has no right to interfere."
The middle-aged man sneered, "You only dare to say that in front of me. Do you really dare to say that in front of the great king?"
Nubis's face became unsettled. He gritted his teeth and stared at the middle-aged man, but he had nothing to say. The middle-aged man was right. No matter how proud Nubis was, he could only obediently put away his unruly nature before the great king.
The middle-aged man did not continue arguing with Nubis. His gaze quickly landed on the White Tiger in Jianchen's arms as he slept. His gaze was filled with both mixed feelings and joy.
"You must be Jianchen. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. Hand over the little tiger in your arms to me. That way, everything will be fine," the middle-aged man stared at Jianchen emotionlessly as he spoke coldly.
As soon as he heard that the middle-aged man wanted the little white tiger in his arms, Jian Chen's heart immediately sank. He stared at the middle-aged man in surprise and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man sneered. He glanced at Nubis in golden robes and said, "He knows who I am."
Jianchen immediately looked at Nubis. Actually, he had already vaguely guessed the middle-aged man's identity, but he had yet to confirm it.
"Jianchen. He's one of the two kings of the Gilligan clan, the Tiger King, An Dekang," Nubis said with a heavy voice. His expression was very ugly.
"What? He's a king of the Gilligan clan? Is it the Gilligan clan in the depths of the Cross Mountains? "Jiede Tai could not help but cry out. As a Saint Ruler who had been a Saint Ruler for many years, he was familiar with the Gilligan clan. It was an extremely powerful clan. Not only were the two kings on par with the Holy Emperor, but they also had over a dozen Saint Rulers under them. Even the ancient clans did not dare to provoke the Gilligan clan. The region in the depths of the Cross Mountains was a forbidden zone for all humans. Even Saint Rulers did not dare to set foot there.
Jianchen's expression immediately became extremely ugly. Although he knew that the king of the Gilligan clan would find him sooner or later, he had never thought that it would come so soon. After all, it had only been a short while since he obtained the White Tiger. The Tian Yuan Continent was so vast that finding him in the sea of people was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Noticing the change in Jianchen's expression, the middle-aged man sneered, "Jianchen, there's no need to be afraid. As long as you hand the tiger over to me, I'll leave immediately. I won't make things difficult for you."
Jianchen stared at the middle-aged man with an ugly expression. He gruffly said, "You've actually left the depths of the Cross Mountains and stepped into the human world. Have you forgotten the agreement we made with the Cross Mountains in the past? The consequences of breaking the agreement should be severe."
This time, it was the middle-aged man's turn to change his expression. He coldly stared at Jianchen and said, "I'm right here right now. I only need to move a finger to wipe out all of you. Jianchen, you're a smart person. You'll make a wise choice. I believe you won't do anything stupid. Hand over the White Tiger obediently. Don't force me to do anything."
"Tiger King, it's fine that you've set foot on the Tian Yuan Continent, but if you dare to slaughter humans on the Tian Yuan Continent, the human experts will never let you go. Even if you return to the Gilligan clan, you won't be able to avoid being hunted down by the human experts." Nubis gruffly said, "Let me tell you something else as well. Jianchen has the support of the grand elder of Mercenary City."
"What? He knows the grand elder of Mercenary City?" The middle-aged man was immediately stunned. Deep fear filled his eyes.
"The grand elder of Mercenary City is my uncle. Sir, I don't dare to reveal who you are, but if you dare to do anything to my brother, I'll immediately invite my uncle over. My uncle may be in Mercenary City right now, but he can come here in an instant," said Ming Dong. Although he was still very doubtful about the entire situation, he already knew that the middle-aged man was the ruler of a powerful clan from Nubis's introduction. Even Nubis and Jiede Tai feared him.
The middle-aged man stood there with an uneasy expression. The worry in his eyes completely vanished as he stared at them in disdain. He sneered, "Don't try to scare me with the grand elder of Mercenary City. Do you think I'm as easy to fool as a three-year-old? Jianchen, I'll say it one last time. Hand over the White Tiger in your arms immediately, or don't blame me for being rude."
"I don't care who you are, but it's impossible for me to hand over the Winged Tiger." Jianchen replied without any hesitation. Afterward, he used his left arm to clamp the Winged Tiger tightly under his armpit as he drew the Ruler Armament Dragon-slaying sword from his Space Ring with his right hand.
With the sword in hand, Jianchen's presence underwent an overwhelming change. He immediately became a shining sword as a powerful presence radiated from him, soaring into the sky. He seemed like a divine sword, radiating with supreme might.
"Looks like I'll have to do it myself," the middle-aged man smiled cruelly as he pressed forward.
Swish! Suddenly, Jianchen's body shot up from the ground. He directly smashed a hole in the roof of the discussion hall and charged out. Only outside could he unleash his full strength without worrying about harming others with his full strength.
The moment Jianchen charged out of the roof, Nubis's voice rang out in his ears, "Jianchen, hurry up and invite the grand elder of Mercenary City. Only he can resolve this problem."
Jianchen felt bitter inside when he heard that. Last time, Tian Jian had suddenly arrived during the fight for the tungsten alloy mine because he had left Huang Tianba a piece of jade to inform him. Now that the jade had shattered, there was no second piece. Even if he wanted to ask Tian Jian for help, he did not have the ability to do so.
"Hmph, you still dare to attack me? What an arrogant person. Do you think you can contend against me with your strength?" King Jinlijian sneered as he stared at Jianchen. Only then did he follow unhurriedly. With his strength, he was not afraid of Jianchen escaping at all.
In the blink of an eye, Jian Chen and the Gilligan king disappeared from the discussion hall, leaving behind a large group of people who stood there at a loss for what to do.
"Oh, seniors, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and help my brother. Let's deal with that person together." Bilian finally returned to his senses. He immediately looked at Nubis and Jiedetai pleadingly. The two of them were the most powerful people in the hall right now.
"Sigh!" Jiede Tai let out a long sigh. His face was filled with helplessness.
Nubis shrugged and said innocently, "Little girl, it's not that we don't want to help Jianchen.
It's just that this matter is beyond our abilities. You probably don't know how strong King Jinlijian is. He's not someone we can deal with. We'll just be courting death if we go. "
"What's going on? What's going on here?" An old voice rang out from the distance. With that, an old man in blue robes appeared in the discussion hall. It was the ancestor of the Bi family, Bi, who had just arrived after being alarmed by Jianchen's aura.
As soon as he saw the ancestor of the Bi family, Bilian immediately grabbed his hand and said urgently, "That's great, that's great. Great-grandfather, you're finally here. Brother has encountered a powerful enemy. Great-grandfather, please go help him."
Hearing that, Bi Hai's face sank. He turned to Nubis and Jiede Tai and asked, "What's going on?"
Nubis sighed, "The person who's come is the king of the Jinlijian clan. He's a Class 8 Yellow Tiger. Even if we work together, we're not his opponent. It'll be pointless if we go. The only thing we can do now is call the grand elder of Mercenary City."
