"Houston!" Jianchen murmured. His eyes immediately lit up, and he could not help but think of uncle Xiu's old and upright figure.
"Houston, uncle Xiu. The master of the Bloodsword sect, Houston, actually has the same surname as uncle Xiu from Longevity Valley. Are they the same person?" Jianchen murmured inside. He also thought of how uncle Xiu had recognized the White Tiger at first glance.
Jianchen could not help but look at his shoulder when he thought of the White Tiger. He saw the snow-white White Tiger curled up on his shoulder like a kitten, sleeping and digesting the medicine in its body.
Afterwards, Jianchen looked at the powerful Wang Yinhong. He discovered that Wang Yinhong only stared at him with shining eyes. She completely ignored the White Tiger on his shoulder. Clearly, she had not discovered the true identity of the White Tiger.
"Jianchen, have you seen the master of the Bloodsword sect before?" Wang Yinhong's eyes were extraordinarily bright as she stared at Jianchen closely. Wang Yinhong had seen the four men in blood-red robes who had appeared in Changyang Prefecture before, and she had guessed their identities from the dense Baleful Yin Qi they gave off. They were from the Bloodsword sect that had vanished for a thousand years, and they were not weak either. Clearly, their statuses were significant.
Wang Yinhong was extremely curious as to why the Bloodsword sect had come to Changyang Prefecture. She wanted to know the answer, but her first guess was that Jianchen definitely had some connection with the Bloodsword sect.
Jianchen shook his head, "Senior, I've only heard about the Bloodsword sect today. I don't know the master of the sect either." Although that was what he said, Jianchen constantly thought of uncle Xiu. Uncle Xiu had always given off an unfathomable feeling to Jianchen, and he had the same surname as the master of the Bloodsword sect. Moreover, the circumstances of uncle Xiu's family matched the master of the Bloodsword sect very well. He had no partner, only a son and a grandson. He just did not know how old his son, Xiu Mi, was right now.
At the same time, only the grand elder of Mercenary City and uncle Xiu could tell the White Tiger's identity with a single glance. It was evident how extraordinary uncle Xiu was.
However, although Jianchen had guessed that the master of the Bloodsword sect might be closely related to uncle Xiu, he was not certain.
After leaving the garden, Jianchen immediately bought a thousand-year coffin of ice for quite a hefty price. He placed his parents' bodies inside. Although powerful Radiant Saint Masters could bring people back to life, the bodies had to be preserved first.
Jianchen remained in Changyang Prefecture for seven days. During those seven days, Changyang Prefecture was enveloped by clouds of grief. Most of the people who had gathered outside Changyang Prefecture had left. Not many of them remained, but none of them took a single step into Changyang Prefecture.
Seven days later, Jianchen emerged from his grief. However, the matter of his parents still left a mark on Jianchen that could not be erased. It made him seem even colder. He always wore a stern face and had basically lost his smile.
On this day, Jianchen bid farewell to his family and left Changyang Prefecture with the coffin containing his parents' bodies. He was about to travel far away, so he was afraid that something would happen to his parents' bodies. As a result, he needed to find a safe place to place his parents' bodies and ensure that nothing would happen. Only then would he be able to leave in peace.
Although the coffin could be stored in a Space Ring, Jianchen did not do so. He was a Saint Ruler now, but he was not an invincible existence on the Tian Yuan Continent. At the same time, there were five powerful Saint Rulers hunting him down. If anything happened to him, his parents would never see the light of day again.
Time could wash away everything. After seven days, the tragedy in Changyang Prefecture gradually settled down. However, Jianchen carried the coffin and flew ten thousand meters in the air. He hurried toward the Qin Empire. He planned on placing his parents' bodies in the Qin Empire's Qin Tian Hall.
On the same day, Jianchen's uncle, Bi Dao, resigned from his position as the commander of the imperial guards. He silently left the Kingdom of Gesun on a Class 4 Magical Beast.
Bi Dao had thought it through very clearly during this period of time. If he wanted to increase his strength quickly, he needed to train himself through life and death situations in addition to working hard on cultivation. Only through the baptism of blood could he grow quickly. His nephew was the best example. If he just stayed in the imperial palace, who knew how long it would take for him to break through to Heaven Saint Master.
Jianchen returned to the Qin Empire through a Space Gate in the Great Zhou Empire. He then placed his parents' bodies in the Qin Tian Hall and entrusted them to the four other Imperial Protector.
The king and the third prince of the Qin Empire felt rather heavy over the death of Jianchen's parents. They properly comforted Jianchen.
However, under Jianchen's strong request, the matter of his parents was not made public. Only a very small number of people in the Qin Empire knew about it.
After settling down his parents, Jianchen went to another Qin Tian Hall to have a secret discussion with the four other Imperial Protector. He then left the Qin Empire early the next morning and arrived in the Great Zhou Empire through a Space Gate in the Qin Empire.
Afterward, Jianchen went to the Tianqin clan to visit Qin Xiao. Jianchen had originally planned on taking Qin Xiao to the Flame Mercenaries to train, but with so many things that had happened to the Flame Mercenaries and the fact that he was about to leave, he could only give up on the idea of taking Qin Xiao with him.
This was because although the Flame Mercenaries possessed a certain level of strength, they still faced great challenges. It was not a safe place, so taking Qin Xiao with him might bring trouble to Qin Xiao. Moreover, due to the Winged Tiger, he and the Flame Mercenaries would be dragged into the mess. Even the Changyang Prefecture would not be spared. If Qin Xiao joined the Flame Mercenaries at this time, he would be dragging him into the abyss of hell without a doubt. The slightest mistake might even involve the Tianqin clan.
This was because Jianchen had a strong premonition that he might become the public enemy of the Tian Yuan Continent once the news of the Winged Tiger was leaked.
After leaving the Tianqin clan, Jianchen directly returned to the Kingdom of Gesun. He called Jiede Tai and Nubis over and told them about the Holy Emperor's Empire and the intentions of the Qin Empire's Imperial Protector.
With Jianchen's words, Nubis declined without any hesitation, "Jianchen, please don't drag me into this matter. The three great clans of the Holy Emperor's Empire all possess Holy Emperor experts. They possess the strength of ancient clans and cannot be underestimated. Moreover, I, the great Nubis, have nothing to do with the Holy Emperor's Empire. Their internal strife has nothing to do with me, so I, the great Nubis, will never get involved in this matter. It's basically a pit of hell, and whoever jumps in will suffer."
Jianchen was not surprised by Nubis' refusal. He then looked at Jiede Tai.
Jiede Tai was expressionless as he said in an extremely calm voice, "Jianchen, the Old Man has already pledged his loyalty to you. Even his old life is yours. I will listen to all of your orders."
Jianchen nodded but did not say anything. Jiede Tai's attitude had increased his status in Jianchen's heart.
Jianchen pondered for a moment, then said, "Nubis is right. There is indeed no need for you to get involved in the internal strife of the Holy Emperor's Empire. If you do not handle it well, you may get into trouble and even die. Forget it, the two of you will stay here and protect Changyang Prefecture and the Flame Mercenaries. I will leave tomorrow."
"Jianchen, there is no need for you to get involved in such a thankless task …" Nubis wanted to persuade Jianchen, but before he could finish, Jianchen raised his hand to stop him.
"I must go to the Holy Emperor's Empire. Only there will I have the hope of reviving my parents. Therefore, no matter what dangers await me, I must go." Jianchen's tone was unprecedentedly resolute.
… …
The next morning, Jianchen bid farewell to everyone and left Changyang Prefecture.
Jianchen's figure turned into a bolt of lightning and flew through the air. Very quickly, he left the borders of the Kingdom of Gesun and traveled thousands of kilometers to enter the Blue Wind Kingdom.
In the Blue Wind Kingdom, outside the third rank city of Wake City, mercenaries and merchants dressed in all sorts of clothing entered and exited the city. About twenty kilometers outside of Wake City, one could vaguely see a large mountain range. That was the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
During this period of time, a rumor had been circulating in Wake City. It was that deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, there was a mysterious team. No one knew where this mysterious team came from or what their identities were. They only knew that every member of this mysterious team was extremely powerful. They spent most of their time in the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, hunting high level Magical Beasts. They had never left the mountain range and rarely even set foot in the outer regions of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Recently, in the middle of the night, there would often be earth-shattering roars of Magical Beasts coming from the depths of the mountain range, echoing throughout the entire Wake City. Moreover, this kind of thing had happened quite a few times.
Some of the Saint Masters living in Wake City were even able to determine that this was the roar of a fifth rank Magical Beast.
