Although the mysterious team that existed in the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range outside of Wake City was no longer a secret, after so much time had passed, no one was able to find out the identity of this mysterious team.
During this period of time, there were a few powerful families and mercenary groups that tried to recruit this mysterious team, but without exception, all of them ended in failure. This mysterious team seemed to not be tempted by anything. No matter how generous their offers were, no matter how tempting their offers were, no one in this mysterious team could be moved. It was as if they were completely unmoved by money and power.
The sky was filled with dark clouds, and a series of muffled sounds of thunder exploded from the sky, reverberating throughout the world. It was still noon, but the world was dark.
Not long after, large droplets of rain began to fall from the sky. The originally bustling Wake City suddenly became desolate. Not a single person could be seen on the streets. Only the large droplets of rain could be seen washing away the dirt from the mercenaries' footsteps.
Right at this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the thick clouds above Wake City. A blue light flashed through the crack, and a figure quietly appeared under the thick clouds.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky. Bolts of lightning emitted a dazzling light as they surged through the sky, forming a spider web under the dark clouds.
The figure was wearing a light blue robe. When the surrounding rainwater came close to his body, it was dispersed by an invisible force. It was impossible for the rainwater to touch this person. He stood under the lightning and looked down at the earth, ignoring the deafening thunder and lightning around him. He was like a god.
This person was Jianchen from the Kingdom of Gesun!
Jianchen floated in the sky, his divine sense covering the entire Wake City. After a moment, his tightly shut eyes slowly opened. Looking at the distant Magical Beast Mountain Range, he muttered, "He's not in the city. It seems that he's still in the Magical Beast Mountain Range." As soon as he finished speaking, Jianchen's body turned into a blur and disappeared into the sky. He was already flying towards the Magical Beast Mountain Range twenty miles away at a speed that was hard to follow with the naked eye.
Deep within the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, beneath a towering ancient tree, more than ten large tents had been set up here. Outside the tents, several bare-chested, muscular men were standing guard in the rain. Their fierce gazes were filled with a fierce light. Clearly, they were not simple characters.
At this moment, in the centermost tent, there were nine people sitting around a large round table, eating cooked Magical Beast meat as they chatted.
"Doctor An, Yun Zheng, thank you for taking care of us in the past few days. It was because of you that we were able to escape from the jaws of the Magical Beast so many times." An old man held a cup of wine in his hand as he sincerely said this to a burly man and a frail middle-aged man sitting across from him.
"Haha, Kyle, you don't need to thank me. Captain Jianchen and I were sent out to protect you in secret. Captain Jianchen's request was that we must protect each and every one of you. Originally, Yun Zheng and I were planning to hide in the dark, but who would have thought that after you broke through to the Earth Saint Master level, you would discover us." Doctor An laughed heartily.
"Doctor An is correct. Protecting you is only our duty. However, you've all broken through to the Earth Saint Master level and have grasped a wondrous cultivation method that can instantly increase your battle prowess by several times. Other than that, all of you have grasped Human Tier Battle Skills. Your combined strength is not much weaker than the two of us. If we continue to stay here, we won't be of much use," Yun Zheng smiled.
These people were the core members of the Flame Mercenaries that Jianchen had thrown here to train. Every single one of them had been loyal to him and had gone through life and death situations. They were trustworthy, and they were the first group of elites that Jianchen truly trusted. At the same time, he spared no expense in raising them.
When Jianchen had left, he had left behind a large number of monster cores and various Battle Skills. After this period of training and growth, the strength of every single core member had undergone an overwhelming change. Seven of them had even broken through to Great Saint Master, becoming Earth Saint Masters. The other several dozen members had all reached Great Saint Master as well. None of them were below Great Saint Master.
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, everyone in the tent fell into deep thought. Charles said, "Brother Yun Zheng is right. This Mountain Range of Magical Beasts is too small. The strongest magical beasts here are only Class 5 Magical Beasts. And after killing a few Class 5 Magical Beasts, there aren't many Class 5 Magical Beasts left. With our current strength, there's no point in continuing to stay here."
"Our brothers have already grasped Human Tier Battle Skills. Coupled with the Heaven's Fortune that the captain gave us, we can easily kill magical beasts that are stronger than us. The magical beasts here are indeed no threat to us. It's just a pity that the captain isn't here. Without the captain's orders, we can't leave without permission," Qingfeng said softly. After this period of intense battles with the magical beasts, Qingfeng had improved the fastest out of everyone. Not only was he the first person to reach Earth Saint Master, but he had also reached the Second Cycle a few days ago. He had become the strongest person aside from Yun Zheng and Senior An.
Although they were not geniuses, their bodies had been modified by Jianchen's thousand-year-old Hundred Herb Brew, so their cultivation speed was much faster than normal people. Coupled with the hard work they had put in during this period of time, all of them had improved by leaps and bounds.
"It would be great if the captain was here. Ever since we entered the depths of the Magical Beast Mountains, we haven't left, so we don't know much about the outside world," Mo Tian sighed. Mo Tian let out a sigh as a handsome face that was filled with masculine aura involuntarily appeared in his mind.
At this moment, a tremendous presence suddenly appeared from outside. The presence was gentle and would not harm anyone, but it gave people a feeling of vastness. It was as if the presence represented the world. Even Earth Saint Masters would feel as insignificant as ants before the presence.
"What a tremendous presence!" The expressions of the few people in the large tent suddenly became solemn. They immediately threw down the wine cups in their hands and hurriedly walked out of the large tent.
It was still pouring outside and the sky was gloomy. Yun Zheng, Senior An, and the people who had just broken through to Earth Saint Master walked out of the tent together, allowing the rain to wash over them. At the same time, people walked out of the surrounding tents one after another, quickly arriving behind Yun Zheng and the others. They all sternly looked around, searching for the source of the presence.
In just a few seconds, all the core members of the Flame Mercenaries who had entered the Magical Beast Mountains for training had gathered.
At this moment, a faint blue streak of light shot through the sky. It flew over from afar with lightning-like speed, and it just happened to be heading toward where the Flame Mercenaries were.
"Be careful everyone. It's a Heaven Saint Master!"
All the members of the Flame Mercenaries were on high alert. A thumb-sized piece of jade had appeared in Senior An's hand.
The blue figure finally stopped in front of the Raging Flame Mercenaries. Had that person's true appearance been revealed?
When the members of the Flame Mercenaries saw who it was, they became slightly stunned. Their cautiousness vanished at that moment, and they were all overjoyed.
"Captain!"
"It's the captain! The captain's back!"
All the members of the Flame Mercenaries excitedly called out. Jianchen's arrival had clearly made them very happy. Afterward, all of them knelt down on one knee to welcome Jianchen.
Jianchen's blue robes fluttered in the wind. He stood in the pouring rain, but there was not a single drop of water on him. He slowly glanced over the several dozen men below and finally faintly smiled. He said, "Not bad, not bad. Looks like you've all improved a lot recently." Jianchen slowly landed on the ground. With a thought, an invisible force immediately filled the surroundings, lifting all the people up.
Jianchen was politely invited into the tent by a few Earth Saint Masters. Afterward, they gave a simple report of what they had gone through in the past few years to Jianchen.
"Yep, not bad. Seven of you have actually broken through to Earth Saint Master, which has indeed exceeded my expectations. Remaining here won't be of much help with your current strength." Jianchen took out a wooden box and a stack of books from his Space Ring. He said, "This box contains Class 6 Radiant Spirit Pills and these are some Earth Tier Battle Skills. Take them and distribute the Class 6 Radiant Spirit Pills evenly to each of you as a life-saving item. As for these Earth Tier Battle Skills, you can learn them as long as you've reached Earth Saint Master. Prepare to leave tomorrow and go to the Tian Yuan Continent to train."
"Yes, captain." The seven Earth Saint Masters of the Flame Mercenaries replied in unison. Unconcealable joy filled their eyes.
"Remember, when you go to the Tian Yuan Continent to train, don't use the name of the Flame Mercenaries. Create another mercenary group." Jianchen warned them again before looking away, "Yun Zheng, Senior An, the two of you have done extremely well. The mission has been completed perfectly. Take my keepsake and report to the headquarters of the Flame Mercenaries. As for the headquarters …" Jianchen passed a jade pendant to the two of them. The jade pendant was a keepsake from Changyang Prefecture. It was a symbol of status in Changyang Prefecture, but Jianchen no longer needed it.
"Captain, where is the headquarters of the Flame Mercenaries?" Senior An asked. Before the Flame Mercenaries had expanded, he and Yun Zheng had already entered the depths of the Magical Beast Mountains. They had always been secretly protecting Jianchen's trusted subordinates and had never ventured out.
Jianchen smiled mysteriously, "The two of you can go out and ask around. You'll find out where the headquarters is."
Jianchen stayed there for a day. He used this time to explain some cultivation knowledge and his experience in breaking through to Earth Saint Master to everyone. At the same time, he left behind a large number of Class 4 and Class 5 Monster Cores for everyone to use. He left early the next morning and began his journey to the Holy Emperor's Empire.
The Holy Emperor's Empire was one of the most powerful empires on the Tian Yuan Continent. There were a total of seven capital cities on the continent, and the Holy Emperor's Empire occupied three of them. It was completely more powerful than the other two empires. ,
