Jianchen was immediately filled with indescribable joy when he heard that the three disciplinary elders had actually agreed to serve him. The three disciplinary elders before him were all supreme experts at the Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. Every single one of them was a supreme expert that could hold their own. Once Jianchen obtained these three powerful subordinates, the strength of his forces would increase by a lot.
It was not as if Jian Chen had never thought about subduing the three disciplinary elders and the four divine generals before, but the thought had only crossed his mind for a moment before he gave up on it. This was because he understood that whether it was the Four Divine Generals of the Serpent God Hall or the three disciplinary elders of the Heaven's Spirit Hall, they were all people of great authority. Their statuses were great, so they naturally had inviolable dignity. Subduing them and making them swear loyalty to him was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
The reason why the three disciplinary elders had agreed so readily was all because of the secret assistance of the hall elders of the Heaven's Spirit Hall. If it were not for the hall elders' persuasion, the three disciplinary elders would rather die than submit.
"Disciplinary elders, please swear a blood oath using a secret technique and never betray me," Jianchen pretended to be calm as he said to the three disciplinary elders.
The three disciplinary elders clenched their teeth and swore a blood oath using a secret technique. They used their essence blood to draw an ancient contract and passed it to Jianchen. With the ancient contract, Jianchen basically held the power to kill the three disciplinary elders.
"Warrior Jianchen, are you satisfied with this outcome?" A hall elder asked emotionlessly. He was rather heavy-hearted.
Jianchen was obviously extremely satisfied after obtaining the loyalty of three Sixth Heavenly Layer experts from the Holy Emperor. However, he did not show any joy on the surface. He said calmly, "Since your Heaven's Spirit Hall is so sincere, I, Jianchen, will naturally not be petty. Let's forget about our past grievances."
After resolving his grievances with the Heaven's Spirit Hall, Jianchen left with the three disciplinary elders. He directly headed for the territory of the Poseidon Hall. The three disciplinary elders' positions in the Heaven's Spirit Hall had been revoked by the hall elders as well. The three of them were now free people, able to enter and leave the three territories of the sea realm as they pleased.
The experts of the Heaven's Spirit Hall did not disperse for a long time after Jianchen left with the three disciplinary elders. They all stood outside the divine hall and stared in the direction that Jianchen and Beelzebub had disappeared in. They were extremely dejected.
The Divine Hall Elders were of the same age as the three Law Enforcing Elders. They had been friends with the three Law Enforcing Elders for thousands of years. They were as close as brothers. The departure of the three Law Enforcing Elders naturally had some influence on them.
The other elders and emissaries of the Heaven's Spirit Hall were all dejected and dispirited. They simply could not understand why the esteemed hall elders had made such a decision. The Heaven's Spirit Hall, one of the three great halls of the sea realm, was actually afraid of a junior. Not only did they not dare to fight him, but they had even sent three respected disciplinary elders to quell his anger. This left them all confused and in disbelief.
This was because this did not seem like the style of the Heaven's Spirit Hall at all.
"Let's return. Remember, what happened today is forbidden from being leaked. At the same time, no one is allowed to find Jianchen for revenge. Violators will be executed according to the highest punishment," a hall elder said with a heavy voice.
Everyone's necks could not help but shrink when they heard the words' executed according to the highest punishment '. Fear filled their eyes.
Jianchen flew through the air with the three disciplinary elders. The four of them moved very quickly, shooting through the sky like four streaks of light, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Elders, may I ask how I should address you?" Jianchen faintly smiled as he turned to the three disciplinary elders.
Although the three disciplinary elders had hunted him down in the past, they were all on his side now. As a result, Jianchen had let go of the prejudice he had in the past.
"Lan Jing!"
"Xin Pian!"
"Mochas!"
The three disciplinary elders called out one by one. The three of them were old men in their seventies. They wore simple robes and possessed extremely ordinary appearances. It was very difficult to tell that they were actually experts at the Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor from their appearances.
The three disciplinary elders clearly still could not let go of the fact that they had become Jianchen's followers. The three of them wore sunken faces along the way. They did not say anything else aside from announcing their names.
The four of them said nothing along the way. They directly returned to the Turtle clan under Jianchen's lead. Basically all the experts of the Turtle clan had gone out to fight under Tai Dou's lead, forcefully reclaiming the crystal mines that had been stolen in the past. As a result, there were very few people in the Turtle clan.
"Greetings to the ruler!"
"Greetings to the ruler!"
As soon as Jianchen returned to the Turtle clan, all the members of the Turtle clan politely knelt down and bowed. They looked at Jianchen with respect and admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
Jianchen arranged the three disciplinary elders' residences before making his way to his secret room and entering the artifact space.
Nubis was still studying the Tian Level Battle Saint Technique in the artifact space, completely forgetting the time. Xie Wang was also cultivating the cultivation method left behind by the emperor of the Eight Wastelands that Jianchen had given him.
Jianchen did not disturb the two of them. He made his way into the depths of the palace and arrived before a thirty-meter-tall door in the end.
"Rumble!" The door slowly opened under the control of the Artifact Spirit. As soon as a crack appeared on the door, a tremendous pressure immediately appeared from within the hall.
The pressure was not powerful enough to Jianchen, but the presence that filled it was extremely dense. It was actually countless times denser than the presence from the serpent dragon that Jianchen had seen in the supreme divine hall of the Serpent God Hall.
As the door opened, an auspicious white light suddenly shone out, illuminating the entire hall, making the originally dark hall brighten up in an instant.
The source of the white light was actually a huge white tiger. The white tiger lay on the ground with its eyes closed. It was thirty meters long and covered in snow-white fur. Every single strand of hair shone with a peaceful white light.
On its back, two huge wings were unfurled, unconsciously flapping slowly in the air.
In the past few years, the White Tiger had always remained in the artifact space, relying on heavenly resources to increase its strength. After consuming tremendous amounts of heavenly resources, the White Tiger's strength had increased so quickly that it could be described as riding a rocket. It had already broken through Class 6 and reached Class 7.
Perhaps because it sensed Jianchen's arrival, the White Tiger suddenly opened its eyes. When it saw Jianchen standing outside the door, its eyes immediately lit up. It produced an excited roar and leapt towards Jianchen.
In the air, the White Tiger's huge body rapidly shrank. By the time it landed on Jianchen's shoulder, its huge body had shrunk to the size of a kitten.
"Wuuuu …" The White Tiger growled as it held Jianchen's head tightly with its front paws. It constantly bit at Jianchen's hair, as if complaining about why Jianchen had not come to see it in so long.
Seeing that the little white tiger was still so mischievous, Jian Chen couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart. He reached out and took the little white tiger from his shoulder, placing it in his arms as he gently stroked its furry head.
Although the White Tiger had already become a magical beast of the seventh rank, its age was still there. Although its intelligence had increased a lot, it still had the temperament of a child.
"A magical beast of the seventh rank can take human form. White Tiger, I wonder if you can take human form now?" Jianchen asked the White Tiger in his arms in a low voice.
The White Tiger could completely understand Jianchen's words. Its furry little head immediately shook, and its bright little eyes were filled with confusion. Clearly, it did not know why it could not take human form.
Jianchen said with a smile, "Your original form is that of the Winged Tiger, an ancient mythological beast. It is not at the same level as ordinary magical beasts. Perhaps, the reason why you are unable to take human form now is because of your mythological beast form. When your strength increases in the future, you will be able to take human form sooner or later." With that, Jianchen's face changed. He felt that the barrier he had cast down outside the room had been touched by someone. He immediately comforted the White Tiger before leaving the artifact space.
Walking out of the room, he saw a Saint Ruler of the Turtle clan standing there with a pale face. Jianchen could tell with a single glance that the Saint Ruler had suffered heavy internal injuries.
"Greetings to the ruler. I had no other choice but to enter seclusion, so please punish me," the Saint Ruler of the Turtle clan immediately knelt on the ground and politely said.
Jianchen sternly looked at him and asked, "What happened? What's with your injuries?"
"Ruler, we were obstructed by enemy experts when we tried to subdue the crystal mine that was stolen back then. Many people of our Turtle clan were injured because of this. Even the ancestor of the Taihong clan, Tai Dou, was injured by two experts who were on par with him," the Saint Ruler of the Turtle clan said with a heavy voice. His complexion was very ugly.
Jianchen's face sank when he heard that. He bellowed, "How dare you! Immediately gather all the elders and experts of the Taihong clan. Let's all go to the discussion hall."
"Yes, ruler!"
Jianchen sat on the throne emotionlessly in the discussion hall. All the experts of the Turtle clan and the people of the Taihong clan had gathered below him. They all stood there silently. No one said anything, causing the atmosphere in the hall to become rather oppressive.
Among these people, almost half of them had pale faces. It was obvious that they had suffered heavy injuries.
Jianchen glanced past everyone's faces and said with a heavy voice, "Tai Dou, tell me about the strength of the enemy."
Tai Dou took a step forward and said, "Ruler, the enemy is very powerful. They're a famed first-rate clan in the territory of our Poseidon hall. They have two 16th Star experts who are on par with me. There's also a 15th Star expert and many 14th Star experts. They've completely surpassed us."
"Alright, I understand," Jianchen gently replied before remaining silent on the throne.
Before long, three old men in cloth clothes walked in side by side from outside the hall. They held their heads high and walked in an orderly manner. They were neither hurried nor impatient. They did not even glance at the experts gathered in the hall and directly ignored them.
The three of them were the three disciplinary elders of the Heaven's Spirit Hall.
As the three of them entered, the experts in the hall who did not know who they were became suspicious. They all began to guess who they were.
The three Law Enforcing Elders walked straight to the front of the group before stopping.
They all stared at Jianchen emotionlessly. One of them asked, "Jianchen, why have you called the three of us here?"
The disciplinary elders spoke to Jianchen as equals. They did not show any respect at all.
