"Although the threat from the Beast God Continent will be dealt with by the protector clans of the Tian Yuan Continent, the matter of the Winged Tiger is extremely important. If the protector clans learn about it, they'll definitely set their sights on the Winged Tiger after successfully stopping the Beast God Continent. At that time, if you're not powerful enough, you'll only be meat on the chopping block. Even my Mercenary City won't be able to help you." Tian Jian's voice was very heavy.
Tian Jian's words were like a bucket of cold water that had been poured over Jianchen's head. His heart became completely cold. Although Jianchen did not know a lot about the ten protector clans, he did know one thing at the very least, which was that the protector clans were extremely powerful. They had even become the protector forces of the Tian Yuan Continent. If such a powerful force wanted to move against him, he would be as insignificant as an ant even as a Saint Ruler. He would not be able to fight back at all.
Jian Chen's face had never been so stern before. His wonderful mood from escaping from the hands of the ruler of the Gilligan clan was completely destroyed at that moment.
Jianchen held the White Tiger's arms tightly as he stroked its soft fur unconsciously. The white tiger was just far too pitiful. It was not a Winged Tiger, but it was still in its infancy, so it no longer possessed any deterrence. It had embarked on an extremely difficult path as soon as it was born. Not only had it lost its father forever, but its mother had also fled the Cross Mountains with heavy injuries. No one knew where she was hiding even now. Other than that, the Beast God Continent and the protector clans were also eyeing it. Its life was destined to be extremely difficult.
Jianchen even had no idea how he would protect the White Tiger when the Beast God Continent and the protector clans moved against the White Tiger in the future.
Tian Jian gently sighed when he saw Jianchen's heavy expression, "There's not much time left. Jianchen, let the Winged Tiger grow up as soon as possible. Only when you or it becomes truly powerful will you have the ability to fend off the protector clans."
"Senior, may I ask what kind of strength is needed to fend off the protector clans and the Beast God Continent?" Jianchen asked.
"Before the protector clans and the Beast God Continent, only those at the level of the Holy Emperor have the right to speak, and that's all," Tian Jian emphasized the last sentence.
"If you want to fend off the protector clans and the Beast God Continent, you need to reach the peak of the Holy Emperor, or even surpass the Holy Emperor."
Jianchen remained silent for quite a while. A thought of despair gradually spread through his heart.
Only those at the level of the Holy Emperor had the right to speak to the protector clans, but he had only just reached the First Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler. Who knew when he would reach the level of the Holy Emperor. Even if he did reach the level of the Holy Emperor, he would only have the right to speak. It would be extremely difficult for him to protect himself and the White Tiger. Although Jianchen was confident that he could reach the peak of the Holy Emperor sooner or later, or even surpass the supreme level of the Holy Emperor, he did not have that much time to increase his strength. This was because the further he progressed, the more difficult it would be to increase his strength. It would not be as easy as before.
Tian Jian paced around the room with furrowed brows. After a while of thought, he said, "The situation hasn't developed to the worst yet. Although the Beast God Continent has learned about the Winged Tiger, the threat that the Winged Tiger faces will be much smaller if the Beast God Continent doesn't alarm the protector clans with a large scale invasion. Once we return, I will personally arrange for people to guard the coast and stop the Jinlijian clan from sending messages to the Beast God Continent."
"However, that's only a temporary measure because the Jinlijian clan has a secret technique that allows them to contact the Beast God Continent. Once they discover that they can't send messages back, they'll definitely pay a great price to use the secret technique to send the message back to the Beast God Continent. Jianchen, use this time to increase the Winged Tiger's strength as quickly as possible."
"Senior, may I ask if you have any methods to make Xiao Bai grow faster?" Jianchen looked at Tian Jian hopefully. He hoped to learn another method to make the White Tiger grow faster from Tian Jian.
Tian Jian shook his head gently, "With the current situation, there's no other way other than feeding it heavenly resources to increase its strength."
Jianchen was disappointed. Even though he possessed quite a few heavenly resources, the White Tiger was still a Class 5 Magical Beast right now. Even if it could increase its strength by consuming heavenly resources, it would take far, far too long to go from Class 5 to Class 7 or even Class 8. What they lacked the most right now was time. It was impossible for the Beast God Continent and the protector clans to wait until they were powerful enough to move against them.
Tian Jian passed a Space Ring to Jianchen and said, "Jianchen, the heavenly resources in here are basically everything that our Mercenary City has accumulated over the years. After discussing it with the second and fourth elders, we've decided to use it all to assist the Winged Tiger. We hope it can grow faster and deal with the future disaster."
Jianchen did not turn down the offer. He accepted the Space Ring with a heavy heart and said gratefully, "Thank you, senior!"
"There's no need to thank me. This is just Mercenary City carrying out the rules set down by the city lord back then. This is all that Mercenary City can do," Tian Jian replied nonchalantly.
Afterward, Tian Jian explained a few more things to Jianchen before creating a Space Gate and leaving, leaving behind Jianchen in a daze as he hugged the White Tiger.
Jianchen sat on the bed blankly for two whole hours. Only when the White Tiger woke up from its slumber did Jianchen return to his senses.
"Wuuuuu …" The White Tiger had already gained intelligence. As soon as it woke up, it discovered the blood on Jianchen's clothes. It immediately stared at Jianchen with its bright eyes as it constantly whimpered. It seemed to be concerned, pained, or sobbing.
Jianchen gently stroked the White Tiger's small head as he stared at the White Tiger's bright and innocent eyes with a complicated expression. He said softly, "Poor Little White. Perhaps we won't be able to live such peaceful days in the near future."
The White Tiger blinked its eyes and stared at Jianchen in confusion. It did not seem to understand what Jianchen meant.
Jianchen sighed inside when he saw Little White's innocent appearance. He generously took out a large pile of thousand-year-old heavenly treasures from his Space Ring and placed them in front of the White Tiger. He said, "Little White, hurry up and eat. Eat all of these. Don't waste a single second. You have to increase your strength as soon as possible."
It was unknown whether or not the White Tiger heard Jianchen's words. Its bright eyes immediately landed on the large pile of heavenly treasures. Its eyes flashed with excitement as it let out a cheer. It immediately dove into the pile of heavenly treasures and began to chomp down on them. Its face was filled with happiness.
Very quickly, the total of over twenty thousand-year-old heavenly treasures had been completely devoured by the White Tiger. After eating these heavenly treasures, the White Tiger let out a satisfied burp. It then closed its eyes and lay on the bed without moving. It once again fell into a deep sleep to digest the medicinal effects of the heavenly treasures.
Jianchen stared at the sleeping White Tiger for a while before gently carrying the White Tiger out of the room.
Ming Dong and the others were gathered in the guest room. They had been waiting there the entire time, and none of them had left. When Jianchen appeared in the guest room, he was immediately discovered by them. Immediately, all of them surrounded Jianchen and asked about his well-being. They were extremely concerned about his condition.
Jianchen could not help but feel warm inside when he sensed everyone's deep concern. He said, "Don't worry, I've completely recovered." The self-recovery ability of the Chaotic Body was truly astounding. After over two hours, the wounds Jianchen had completely recovered. Jianchen's body was fine apart from the fact that his clothes were still covered in blood.
Afterwards, everyone gathered together and asked Jianchen all sorts of questions. The sudden visit of the ruler of the Gilligan clan had greatly impacted them all. At the same time, they felt extremely pressured, so they all wanted to understand what was going on.
They were also very curious about the true identity of the White Tiger.
Jianchen did not give too much of an explanation to everyone's questions. The White Tiger's identity could not be leaked. The fewer people who knew, the better. Otherwise, once the news of the Winged Tiger made it out, it would only bring forward the disaster.
At this moment, Jianchen suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone from talking. Afterwards, a guard's voice rang out from outside, "Commander, a person called Qin Wujian has important matters to discuss with you."
"Qin Wujian? What's he doing here?" Jianchen was slightly surprised. After a moment of thought, he said to the people outside, "Invite him to the central discussion hall to receive him as a guest."
"Yes, Sir Regiment Commander!" The guard replied and retreated.
