Jianchen washed up and changed into a clean set of clothes before heading to the discussion hall to see Qin Wujian. When he arrived, You Yue, Bi Lian, and Ming Dong were chatting with Qin Wujian.
Qin Wujian immediately stopped talking when he saw Jianchen walk in. He stood up and bowed to Jianchen respectfully, "Qin Wujian greets sir Imperial Protector!"
Jianchen chuckled. He did not make his way to the main throne. Instead, he casually found a seat and sat down. He said, "There's no need to be so courteous, Qin Wujian. May I ask what important matter has brought you here from the Kingdom of Gesun?"
Qin Wujian did not beat around the bush and directly stated, "Sir Imperial Protector, the other four imperial Protectors of the Qin Empire have invited Jianchen back to the Qin Empire. They have something important to discuss."
Jianchen's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. After a moment of thought, he stared at Qin Wujian with shining eyes and asked, "Qin Wujian, do you know what the four Imperial Protector want to discuss with me?"
Qin Wujian shook his head with a bitter smile. "That's not something I can know."
Jianchen lowered his head and thought for a while. He could not help but recall the series of strange occurrences in the Qin Empire recently. Clearly, something important was about to happen. He nodded. "I understand. I will make a trip to the Qin Empire as soon as possible."
Qin Wujian stood up from his chair and clasped his hands at Jianchen. "Sir Imperial Protector, since I've brought the news, my mission is complete. I will take my leave now and return to the Kingdom of Gesun."
Qin Wujian did not stay for long. After passing the news to Jianchen, he left the Flame Mercenaries and returned to the Kingdom of Gesun.
"Jianchen, the news of you breaking through to Saint Ruler must have reached the ears of the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire. Is something bad about to happen for them to suddenly call you back?" Ming Dong guessed.
Jianchen nodded. "I had a premonition long ago that the Qin Empire was in some sort of trouble. It just so happens that nothing major has happened to the Flame Mercenaries recently, so I'll personally pay a visit to the Qin Empire and see why the four Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire wants me."
"Brother, you have to be careful of the Gilligan clan. Although senior Tian Jian has repelled the ruler of the Gilligan clan, who can guarantee that they won't send someone else to deal with you? In my opinion, you should bring senior Nubis, senior Jiede Tai, and great-grandfather with you on this trip to the Qin Empire," Bi Lian worriedly said.
Jianchen shook his head, "Lian 'er, you don't have to worry about your brother. With his current strength, people below the Fifth Heavenly Layer are basically no threat to him. If he comes across people above the Fifth Heavenly Layer, they won't be of much use even if he brings them along. At the same time, the ruler of the Gilligan clan has been alarmed by the matter this time, so the people of the Gilligan clan won't dare to set foot on the Tian Yuan Continent again. Why would your brother be in danger?"
Bi Lian agreed with what he said, so she did not try to persuade him any further. However, she still could not help but warn Jianchen about his safety.
The news of the Gilligan clan's king breaking into the Flame Mercenaries did not spread. The news had been completely sealed off. This was all thanks to the fact that the king of the Gilligan clan did not cause too much of a ruckus here. Otherwise, once the matter blew up and everyone knew about it, it would not be easy to seal off the news.
Jianchen rested in the Flame Mercenaries for a night before leaving his residence the next morning with the White Tiger. He bid farewell to everyone outside.
"Jianchen, come back early. Be careful on the way. You've pulled me far away from you now, and it just so happens that the three-year period is about to end. Once you leave, I'll immediately enter seclusion and try to break through to Heaven Saint Master before you return, "Ming Dong said with a serious expression. Ming Dong said solemnly. Towards the end, his voice was filled with unconcealable excitement and anticipation.
He had been looking forward to reaching Heaven Saint Master for three years already.
Fifteen minutes later, Jianchen left with the sleeping White Tiger under the gazes of a large group of people. Using Spatial Force, he seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning as he shot into the sky at an unbelievable speed. He arrived several thousand meters in the air in a single moment before fusing with the surrounding space. He turned into a blurry blur and shot off into the distance with even greater speed, disappearing in a single moment.
Jianchen flew through the open sky with great ease. Looking at the blurry landscape below him, he actually felt a little better. The mental pressure from the Beast God Continent and the protector clans slowly lessened as well.
After traveling for over half a day, Jianchen finally returned to Walaurent City when the sun was about to set. He then made his way to the city several kilometers away.
He had only come to visit the first young master of the Tianqin clan, Qin Xiao, whom he had not seen in a long time. When he had gone to Longevity Valley to pick up Little Fatty, he had planned on immediately returning to Walaurent City to take Qin Xiao with him. However, the tungsten alloy had been leaked back then, causing the Flame Mercenaries to fall into danger. Time was extremely tight, so he did not manage to take Qin Xiao with him. Instead, he directly returned to the Flame Mercenaries through a Space Gate in the Qin Empire.
Now that he had passed by this place again, he had to visit Qin Xiao no matter what and give him an explanation. After all, Jianchen truly treated Qin Xiao as a brother, not an outsider.
Jianchen entered the city without any obstructions. The noise and liveliness on the streets immediately attracted Jianchen's attention, giving him a feeling that he had not felt in a long time. In particular, when he saw the busy merchants and exhausted mercenaries, Jianchen could not help but think of his past self. He immediately sighed inside.
A few years ago, wasn't he just like these people? He was busy all day long, mingling in the forest that was filled with Magical Beasts, repeatedly walking on the edge of life and death, all for the sake of fighting hard for his own future. The path of every single expert could be said to be a path of blood formed from the corpses of countless living beings.
Unknowingly, Jianchen had already arrived before the entrance of the Tianqin clan. This time, he did not need to use the senses of his soul to clearly sense Qin Xiao's location. At this moment, Qin Xiao was in the discussion hall of the Tianqin clan with a large group of people. They seemed to be discussing important matters, so the atmosphere in the hall was rather oppressive.
At the same time, Jianchen could sense a heavy atmosphere in the Tianqin clan. Even the number of guards at the entrance had increased by quite a bit.
Jianchen swaggered in, but the guards at the entrance did not seem to notice his existence. They did not even look at him, allowing Jianchen to pass through the entrance as if he was someone they could ignore.
Jianchen's body had become one with the world as he swaggered through the courtyard of the Tianqin clan. Even though he brushed past many people, no one noticed him. Very soon, Jianchen arrived in the hall of the Tianqin clan. At this moment, the charm that seemed to have become one with the world silently vanished, and he returned to his normal state.
Everyone in the hall immediately noticed the uninvited guest who had suddenly barged in, causing their expressions to change slightly. However, there were quite a few people who recognized Jianchen. When they saw Jianchen's appearance, they could not help but be stunned, but their sunken expressions returned to normal.
