Under the lead of the vice-city lord, the upper echelon of the Flame Mercenaries personally received the guests from various places within the city.
The happiest and most excited person out of all the people who had come to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony had to be the king of the Kingdom of Gesun. The king was unable to contain his excitement as he stared at the majestic walls of Flame City and the many peak organisations he had never heard of before. The smile on his face never faded.
This was because the first vice city lord of Raging Flame City, the most expensive city in the history of the Tianyuan Continent, was his daughter, You Yue.
Everyone in Raging Flame City agreed that You Yue would be the Vice City Lord of Raging Flame City. Not a single person dared to object. Flame City only existed because of Jianchen, and You Yue was Jianchen's fiancée. She was the person closest to Jianchen. At the same time, You Yue was outstanding in management and excelled in all aspects. She was extremely suitable for the position of vice-city lord.
It could be said that there was no one else in the large mercenary group who was suitable for the position aside from You Yue. The uniqueness of Flame City and its value meant that the city could not fall into the hands of outsiders no matter what.
Although the captain of the Flame Mercenaries, Jian Chen, had been implicated by the matter of the Winged Tiger God and no one knew where he was right now, it did not diminish the glory of Flame City.
This was because it was the only city wall on the Tian Yuan Continent that was completely forged from tungsten alloy. Its existence was comparable to the seven capital cities that had stood for countless years.
"The ancient clan, the Tianmu clan, has come to visit …"
"The ancient clan, the Morgan clan, has come to visit …"
More and more people from the various organisations gathered in the city as the loud and clear voice of the attendant rang out.
Changyang Zu Yunkong and Bi Hai currently sat together in the huge imperial palace in the center of the city as they chatted over wine. Their faces were filled with smiles as they glanced at the resplendent hall from time to time. Their faces were filled with joy.
"I really never thought that my great-grandson would be so bold. He actually built such a large city out of tungsten alloy. It really is unbelievable," Changyang Zu Yunkong sighed emotionally. He was in an extremely good mood.
Bi Hai also smiled happily when he heard that. He said, "Jianchen is indeed extremely capable. In particular, his talent for cultivation is unprecedented. He actually managed to become a Saint Ruler in just over twenty years. His future accomplishments will be unimaginable." Bi Hai seemed to think of something when he reached there. He gently sighed and said, "It's just a pity that the child is currently embroiled in the matter of the Winged Tiger. The entire continent is searching for him. Although he's hidden overseas, none of us know whether he's in danger or not. I just hope that the child can return safely."
The joy on Changyang Zu Yunkong's face gradually vanished when he heard that. He frowned and said, "The matter of the Winged Tiger is indeed a problem. It's related to far too many things. If my great-grandson wants to return to the Tian Yuan Continent, he'll have to hand over the Winged Tiger unless he possesses the strength to contend against the protector clans …"
Bi Hai and Changyang Zu Yunkong knew each other's identities long ago. In terms of status and seniority, they were both Jianchen's great-grandfathers. Although they were of different ages, they had become in-laws because of their relationship with Jianchen.
At this moment, Ming Dong, Dugu Feng, Little Fatty, and Tie Ta gathered together in a garden within the imperial palace of Flame City.
"Unknowingly, a few years have passed just like that. I wonder where Jianchen is right now and how he's doing," Ming Dong murmured to himself.
Not only had Ming Dong's strength increased by a lot during the past few years of secluded cultivation, but his entire bearing had changed as well. Compared to before, Ming Dong was much less impatient and much more composed. He seemed to have become much more steady and mature.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine," a cold voice rang out. The person who had spoken was the cold and arrogant Dugu Feng. Dugu Feng was the same as before. He had not changed at all.
"Today is an important day for Flame City. As the first city in the history of the Tian Yuan Continent to be forged from tungsten alloy, the news of Flame City has already spread across the entire continent. It's impossible for Jianchen to not know. Do you think Jianchen will make it back in time?" Little Fatty spoke as well. His voice was filled with eagerness.
Not a single bit of fat could be seen on Little Fatty's body now. His former chubby figure had vanished long ago, and he had become much more lean and lean.
Little Fatty's talent was very great. In the past, his talent had been suppressed because uncle Xiu did not want him to participate in the matters of the Tian Yuan Continent. He only wanted him to live a peaceful life. Now that he began to focus on cultivation, his rate of improvement could be described as divine. Although it was nowhere close to Tie Ta's level, it was still incomparable to ordinary people with outstanding talent.
"Once Jianchen comes back, I'll definitely have a proper battle with him. I want to see whether I'm stronger or Jianchen is stronger," Tie Ta said with a muffled voice. Tie Ta, who was sitting there like a mountain of flesh, said in a low, muffled voice. His eyes flashed with excitement.
Tie Ta was currently the strongest person in the group. Even Ming Dong was not Tie Ta's opponent. In particular, Tie Ta's brute force was even more terrifying than magical beasts.
"Tie Ta, if you want to fight with Jianchen, you better work hard on increasing your strength to Saint Ruler first. You may be very powerful, but there's an insurmountable gap between Saint Ruler and Heaven Saint Master," Ming Dong teased.
"I'm not afraid. I feel like I can defeat regular Saint Rulers now. Once Jianchen comes back, I'll definitely spar with him. I want to see just how great of a difference there is between me and him. Back when Jianchen and I were in Kargath Academy, the difference between our strength wasn't so great. I don't want to be left too far behind by Jianchen. " Tie Ta was filled with confidence. He could not help but think about the time he spent in Kargath Academy with Jianchen. He could not help but smile foolishly.
…
After spending half a day, Vice City Lord You Yue, who was busy receiving guests from all directions, finally had some time to rest.
At this moment, Sima You Yue, who was dressed in a purple robe, was lying on a chair, rubbing her temples tiredly. As the vice city lord of Raging Flame City, she had to personally welcome all the people who had come to congratulate her. As a result, she was completely exhausted.
After a few years, You Yue had also changed a lot. She was much more mature now. Her face was still as beautiful as before. Her beauty was enough to cause the downfall of a city. Countless men would be moved by her. Furthermore, one could faintly feel a unique aura from her body that belonged to a superior.
After managing the Flame Mercenaries for so many years, You Yue's presence had silently changed as well.
"Sister You Yue, Lian 'er is really happy. The day of our Flame City standing on the Tian Yuan Continent has finally arrived. We've been looking forward to this day for many years, and it's finally happening now." A gentle voice sounded out as Bi Lian, dressed in a luxurious dress, ran over with an excited look on her face.
You Yue slowly sat up straight and said, "The people who have come this time have far exceeded my expectations. It's just that …" You Yue hesitated as she frowned slightly.
"Sister You Yue, it's just what?" Bi Lian blinked her bright eyes as she asked curiously.
"It's just that for some reason, I suddenly feel uneasy, as if something bad is about to happen," You Yue replied.
Bi Lian was stunned when she heard that. She furrowed her brows in thought and said, "Sister You Yue, I think your worries are unnecessary. Who on the Tian Yuan Continent doesn't know that our Flame Mercenaries have the support of a protector clan? I don't think there's anyone who dares to make trouble for us."
"That's true, but why can't I calm down?" You Yue murmured as she sank into her thoughts.
Bi Lian rolled her eyes and giggled, "Sister You Yue, don't tell me you're thinking about my brother."
You Yue blushed slightly. She pretended to be angry and said, "Stop talking nonsense …"
At this moment, a large group of people had suddenly appeared twenty kilometers away from Flame City. There were so many of them that they were so densely packed that one could not see the end of them. There were at least several million of them. They formed a fan-shaped formation as they rapidly advanced towards Flame City. They were aggressive and had come with ill intentions.
At the very front of the group, there were over twenty people of various ages riding Class 5 Magical Beasts toward Flame City. Every single one of them seemed extremely ordinary. They did not radiate with any energy at all, as if they were ordinary people who did not know how to cultivate.
However, at a closer glance, it was not difficult to tell that they were extraordinary. Every single movement of any one of them seemed to contain an indescribable truth of the world, as if they could draw upon the energy of the world.
All of them were hermits who had reached Saint Ruler at the very least.
At the very center was a young man who seemed to be in his twenties. His eyes were cold as he sneered. A powerful killing intent radiated from his body at all. He was Bi Lian.
"King Bi Lian, there are countless experts gathered in Flame City right now. Are you sure that those experts won't assist the Flame Mercenaries against us if we take action right now?" An old man beside Bi Lian said with a heavy voice. He was stern.
"Don't worry. I have a joint order from the ten protector clans. Unless those hermits and ancient clans don't want to remain on the Tian Yuan Continent anymore, I'd like to see if they dare to disobey the orders of the ten protector clans," Bi Lian sneered. The King sneered, but his gaze never left the majestic Raging Flame City. His eyes were filled with hatred and resentment.
