Within the discussion hall of the Flame Mercenaries, Tianmu Ling and the old woman were politely invited to sit down, while Bi Lian and You Yue passionately entertained the two esteemed guests.
Tianmu Ling gracefully took a sip of tea. She glanced at You Yue and Bi Lian, who were even prettier than her. She said softly, "I'm Tianmu Ling. Who are you two little sisters? What's your relationship with little brother Jianchen?"
"Hello, sister Tianmu Ling. I'm Bi Lian. Jianchen is my brother, and this is sister You Yue. She's my brother's fiancée," Bi Lian smiled faintly.
"Fiancée?" Tianmu Ling murmured in a low voice. She stared at You Yue with a bit of surprise. She smiled and said, "I never thought that the always cold little brother Jian Chen would actually have a fiancée. This is really a surprise for this little girl. However, little sister You Yue's temperament is refined and elegant, and she has a devastatingly beautiful appearance. Only a girl with such beauty can match little brother Jian Chen."
You Yue's pretty face blushed as she said with a smile, "Young Miss Tianmu Ling is too serious. Compared to Young Miss Tianmu Ling, You Yue is far inferior."
Tianmu Ling giggled. "Right, why don't I see little brother Jianchen? I've come here today to represent my Tianmu clan to look for little brother Jianchen."
"Miss Tianmu Ling, I'm really sorry. My brother has gone to the Qin Empire for some matters two days ago. We don't know when he'll be back," Bi Lian said apologetically.
A sliver of disappointment appeared on Tianmu Ling's face. She sighed softly and said, "It looks like I've come at the wrong time."
"Miss Tianmu Ling, why don't you and this senior stay here for two days? Jianchen should be back very soon," You Yue suggested.
Tianmu Ling stretched her body before looking at the silent old woman beside her. She said, "Granny Wang, why don't we stay here for two days and wait for Jianchen to return?"
The old woman looked at Tianmu Ling lovingly and smiled, "Ling 'er can make the decision. Granny will listen to you." With that, a gleam of light suddenly flashed through the old woman's eyes. She slowly raised her head and looked into the distance. At that moment, her eyes suddenly shone with a strange light, as if she could see through the obstructions of the hall and see the situation outside.
Soon afterwards, a tremendous pressure suddenly appeared in the surroundings, enveloping the entire palace. Some of the weaker people in the palace immediately felt as if they were being crushed by boulders. Not only did they become extremely heavy, but they also found it difficult to breathe.
Bi Lian and You Yue were also affected in the discussion hall. Their faces suddenly paled, and their legs became weak. They almost lost their footing and fell to the ground.
The old woman sitting on the chair snorted coldly, and the dragon-head walking stick in her hand lightly tapped the ground. Immediately, the huge pressure that filled the hall dissipated into nothingness.
"Is the captain of the Flame Mercenaries, Jianchen, here? Come out quickly." An old voice reverberated through the sky like a thunderclap. It was deafening and resounded through the entire city. Everyone in the city could hear it.
Five figures had appeared in the sky above the Flame Mercenaries' palace at some unknown time. They stood there like gods of war.
"Who dares to be so presumptuous outside?" A cold snort rang out from the royal palace of the Flame Mercenaries. Afterwards, three powerful presences appeared from the royal palace at the same time. Bihai, Jiede, and Nubis flew into the sky from the royal palace at the same time, facing off against the five people from a hundred meters away. They blocked the presences of the five people.
"I never thought that the Flame Mercenaries would actually have three Saint Rulers. What a surprise," one of the five old men stared at Bi Hai's group in disdain.
Bi Hai sternly studied the five people. He could sense their strength. Three of them were at the Fifth Heavenly Layer and two were at the Sixth Heavenly Layer. They were so powerful that the three of them could not fend them off.
"Who are you? Why are you looking for my great-grandson?" Bi Hai asked with a heavy voice. His complexion was very ugly.
The five old men glanced at Bi Hai's group, but they did not find Jianchen. As a result, one of them said rather impatiently, "Call Jianchen out. We need him for something."
"My great-grandson isn't here. If you want to find him, it'll be a wasted trip," Bi Hai growled. The five people had come with ill intentions, so he knew that they were enemies.
The five old men's faces sank slightly. One of them said with a hoarse voice, "What? He's not here? Then where did he go? Tell us quickly. " The person spoke in a tone that allowed no resistance, as if he was directly giving orders to Bi Hai's group.
Nubis lost his cool, but as a beast of antiquity, the pride in his bones would not allow anyone to speak to him like that. Even if there were Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers among them, he did not fear when his dignity was severely challenged.
"Old bastard, who do you think you are? Watch your tone, or don't blame the great Nubis for being rude," Nubis coldly stared at the old man.
The old man was slightly stunned. He had never thought that Nubis would dare to speak to him like that as a mere Third Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. This was something that he had never encountered in all his years of life.
However, the old man's face sank soon after. He stared at Nubis in shock and powerful killing intent radiated from him. He coldly said, "You're looking to die!" With that, the old man arrived before Nubis with extreme speed. He formed a claw with his right hand and reached toward Nubis's neck with lightning-like speed.
The old man was a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler, so Nubis did not fear him at all. Opening his mouth, he immediately spat out a mouthful of dense, poisonous gas, which immediately enveloped the old man. At the same time, Nubis's right hand received the old man's hand fearlessly with great power.
"Bang!" The two fists collided, emitting a muffled sound like muffled thunder. Both of their bodies stood there as steady as Mount Tai, and neither of them retreated in the slightest.
However, the old man's face suddenly changed. He quickly retreated, escaping from the poisonous gas. He stared at Nubis in shock and cried out, "What is this poison? It's so powerful that it can even injure me." Soon afterward, the old man seemed to think of something and became surprised, "Y- y- you're not a human. You're a magical beast."
Behind him, an old man at the Sixth Heavenly Layer gently sniffed the air that was slightly poisonous. After a moment of thought, he slowly said, "This is the poison of an ancient beast, a Golden-striped Silver Snake. He's actually a Golden-striped Silver Snake."
"Hehe, I heard that Golden-striped Silver Snakes are extremely powerful and can easily defeat stronger opponents. Looks like it really is true. You can actually block an attack from a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler as a Third Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. Not bad, not bad at all. I wonder if you can stop two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers working together," the other old man sneered.
