Three Saint Island was extremely far from the Tian Yuan Continent. Even with Jianchen's speed, it took him close to ten days to leave the sea realm. He arrived on land, but he did not stop at all. He continued to fly toward the depths of the continent.
During this period of time, Jian Chen would stop and ask the caravans and mercenaries that he came across along the way. However, apart from learning that he was in a small kingdom, he learned nothing else.
Perhaps it was because they were too far away, or perhaps it was because they were too ignorant, but they had not even heard of the eight great kingdoms of the continent. It was basically impossible for Jianchen to learn the location of the Kingdom of Gesun from them.
Jianchen traveled for another four hours before stopping in an extremely bustling capital of a kingdom. The Tian Yuan Continent was just too large. There were many kingdoms on it, so many that no one could accurately count them all. The first thing he needed to do right now was to find a map that would lead him back to the Kingdom of Gesun.
Jianchen expanded the senses of his soul and enveloped the entire city. He then made his way to the largest grocery store in the center of the city.
Jianchen conversed with the waiter in the grocery store. In the end, he left with a map of the Qin Empire. This was the most detailed map the store had. Although the Kingdom of Gesun was not on the map, it was enough for Jianchen. As long as he made it to the Qin Empire, he would be able to go to the Kingdom of Gesun through a Space Gate in the Qin Empire.
Jian Chen took the map and walked out of the grocery store. As soon as he arrived on the main street, he saw a group of mercenaries walking towards him. At the front of the group were several middle-aged men riding Class 4 Magical Beasts. They were chatting as they walked.
"I heard that the Extinguishing Alliance has been wantonly recruiting people across the continent. They want to become the greatest mercenary group on the continent. I wonder if that's true," said a bare-chested, middle-aged man.
A person in red armor beside him sneered disdainfully when he heard that. He mocked, "They want to become the greatest mercenary group on the continent? This Extinguishing Alliance sure is ambitious. The Tian Yuan Continent is so large, so how can a single mercenary group reach so far? Do they really think that their Extinguishing Alliance is a mercenary city?"
"You better believe me. The Extinguishing Alliance is far more powerful than you can imagine. It's said that they have the support of a Holy Emperor behind them. They're extremely powerful, and I've received reliable news that the Extinguishing Alliance seems to want the Holy Emperor behind them to personally set up several dozen Space Gates in Extinguishing City. They can lead to anywhere on the continent," the bare-chested, bare-chested.
"Space Space gates? What's that? "A few other mercenaries around the same age as the man all gathered their heads together.
They asked curiously.
The bare-chested man lowered his head in thought for a while before replying in a rather confused manner, "I don't know what Space Gates are either, but I've heard from others that it's an ability that can send people to any place on the continent. Only a Holy Emperor can use this ability."
The mercenaries on the Class 4 Magical Beasts all became surprised when they heard that. The man in red armor also sighed in amazement, "If the Extinguishing Alliance really has such an ability and can send people to any corner of the Tian Yuan Continent as they please, it wouldn't be impossible for them to become the greatest mercenary group on the continent."
"Of course. Don't forget that the Extinguishing Alliance occupies the only city constructed from tungsten alloy in the history of the Tian Yuan Continent. Just this city alone is enough to stand up to the seven capital cities of the continent. Extinguishing Flame City is already known as the eighth capital city," the bare-chested man said enviously.
Jianchen, who had just brushed past the mercenaries, immediately came to a halt when he heard that. A sliver of curiosity appeared in his eyes as he murmured, "Who is this Extinguishing Alliance? They actually occupy the only city constructed from tungsten alloy on the continent. Strange, wasn't the first city constructed from tungsten alloy the Flame Mercenaries' Flame City? Why is there another one? Why haven't I heard of such a famous city before? Hold on, Extinguishing Flame, Extinguishing Flame, Extinguishing Flame … "Jianchen seemed to realize something as a gleam of light gradually flashed through his eyes. With a single movement, he vanished from where he was.
"This Extinguishing Alliance …" The bare-chested man on the Class 4 Magical Beast continued to rattle on about the latest information he had obtained. However, just when he reached there, he felt his vision blur. A white-robed young man had suddenly appeared before him.
The young man stood firmly on the back of his magical beast and stared down at him. He growled, "Tell me, what kind of mercenary group is this Extinguishing Alliance? How did they manage to occupy the first city completely constructed from tungsten alloy on the Tian Yuan Continent?"
The man was a bad-tempered person. He had quite a background behind him, so he immediately became furious when he saw someone speak to him in such a manner while standing on his mount. He pressed down hard on the back of his mount, and his body suddenly rose up. He actually stood up like Jianchen and angrily roared, "How dare you …"
However, just as he blurted out the word 'bold', he suddenly felt his neck tighten. He saw that the young man had already reached out his hand with lightning speed and tightly pinched his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe. Immediately, a feeling of suffocation came over him.
The burly man still wanted to use his hands to resist, but just as he moved his hands, he was horrified to find that the space around his body had instantly solidified, imprisoning his entire body in place. He couldn't even move a finger.
The sudden change immediately terrified the man, who had never experienced the might of a Saint Ruler before. The flames of fury in his heart were extinguished at that moment, replaced by fear. Now, no matter how stupid he was, he understood that the young man before him was not someone he could provoke.
"Who are you? How dare you touch a member of our Viper Mercenaries? Die!" The companions beside the man all returned to their senses. They immediately drew their Saint Weapons and stabbed at Jianchen.
"Piss off!" Jianchen bellowed. Suddenly, a tremendous presence erupted from his body, forming a powerful shockwave that slammed into the middle-aged men.
The middle-aged men were all Earth Saint Masters, so they were blown away by the shockwave from Jianchen's presence without being able to resist at all. They smashed into the shops on the two sides of the street and constantly vomited blood. They were all heavily injured.
Jianchen glared at the man. He loosened his grip on the man's neck and growled, "Tell me, where did this Extinguishing Alliance come from? Where is that city made of tungsten alloy that they've taken over?"
The burly man had personally witnessed how Jian Chen had sent his companions flying with just a burst of his presence. He was immediately frightened out of his wits, almost fainting on the spot. This was because he knew extremely well that even Heaven Saint Masters would not be able to do something like this. To be able to injure several Earth Saint Masters so easily and even control space to immobilize him, the person had to be one of the rare Saint Rulers in the legends.
The man no longer dared to act tough after recovering his ability to speak, especially after guessing Jianchen's strength. He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Senior, please spare me. I was blind and did not recognize your presence. Please forgive me and spare my life."
Jianchen's face sank. He growled, "Answer my question."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll answer immediately, I'll answer immediately. I don't know the exact origins of this Extinguishing Alliance because I've only heard about it from others. The eighth major city that they've taken over, Extinguishing City, is located in an extremely distant place. I don't know exactly how far it is, but it's rather close to the Qin Empire, "the man hurriedly replied.
"It's rather close to the Qin Empire." Jianchen's heart shivered as he softly murmured. The ill omen he suddenly felt became more and more intense.
"Then do you know about the Flame Mercenaries?" Jianchen followed up with another question.
"I do, I do. Of course I do. There's basically no mercenary on the Tian Yuan Continent who doesn't know about the Flame Mercenaries. It's said that the eighth city on the Tian Yuan Continent, Annihilation City, was originally built by the Flame Mercenaries, but it was suddenly taken away by the people of the Korea-Annihilating Alliance as soon as it was finished." The man answered everything he knew.
Jianchen suddenly became stunned. He became rather dejected as the man's final words echoed through his head. He struggled to accept it. "It was taken away.
"It's been taken away. The tungsten alloy city that my Flame Mercenaries built after so much effort has actually been taken away. No, this is impossible. How can this be? How can this be?" At that moment, Jian Chen seemed to have lost his soul. His face was filled with deep sorrow.
Suddenly, You Yue, Bi Lian, and the others flashed through Jianchen's head. It immediately made Jianchen's expression change. He immediately grabbed the man and yelled out, "What happened to the people of the Flame Mercenaries in the end? Tell me, what happened to the people of the Flame Mercenaries in the end?" Jianchen's voice was filled with worry. Back then, the ten protector clans had all been searching for him. He was afraid that the people of the Flame Mercenaries would be affected or even harmed.
Before he had left, he had asked Tian Jian to look after the Flame Mercenaries for him. Now that Flame City had actually been taken away, and even Tian Jian was unable to stop it, Jianchen was basically certain that the ten protector clans had interfered with this matter.
"I don't know, I don't know. I really don't know. I only know that they were chased away. I don't know what happened afterwards because I didn't hear anything else." The man had become dumbfounded from fright. Even his voice began to tremble.
