"Four Imperial Protectors, I have an urgent matter that requires the use of the spatial gate. Let's catch up later." We can talk later, "Jianchen said emotionlessly. Although returning home was something to be happy about, Jianchen was unable to feel happy about what had happened to the Flame Mercenaries.
Qin Yunlong sucked in a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. At that moment, his gaze towards Jianchen had completely changed. He said, "Jianchen, is it because of the Flame Mercenaries?"
Jianchen nodded. He said, "What happened to the Flame Mercenaries? Everything was fine, so why were they chased away and robbed of Flame City? Who is the mastermind behind the Extinguishing Alliance?"
"It's one of the eight kings of the Felicity Empire, the Equal King," said Qin Yunlong.
"The Equal King? So it's him." The killing intent in Jianchen's eyes skyrocketed. His gaze became extremely terrifying.
"Then what's the current situation of the Flame Mercenaries?" Jianchen asked immediately.
Qin Yunlong sighed gently. He said, "The Flame Mercenaries have basically disbanded. Some of them have gone their separate ways, some have joined the Extinguishing Alliance, and some have gone to the Kingdom of Gesun. Your friends are all fine. They've all been taken away by a Holy Emperor from one of the protector clans."
Jianchen could not help but let out a sigh of relief when he heard that You Yue and the others were fine. However, his killing intent did not weaken at all. He gritted his teeth and said, "I want to use the Space Gate to go to Flame City. I'd like to see just how capable the Extinguishing Alliance is.
How dare they steal Flame City that belongs to me, Jianchen. "
Afterward, Jianchen went to the Space Gate under the personal escort of the four Imperial Protector from the Qin Empire. He left through the Space Gate and headed to Flame City.
The four Imperial Protector from the Qin Empire stood there in fright after Jianchen's departure. The light in their eyes flickered as they became uncertain. A group of Heaven Saint Masters gathered beside the four of them.
"Strange. Has Jianchen reached the level of a Holy Emperor? His presence has definitely reached the level of a Holy Emperor, so why did he come to our Qin Empire and use a Space Gate to leave?" An Imperial Protector asked in doubt.
The other three Imperial Protector all nodded with that question. They all found it extremely strange.
The Imperial Protectors behind the four of them were all shocked when they heard that. Shock filled their faces. At that moment, all of them doubted their ears. The Imperial Protector from Jianchen, who had only broken through to Saint Ruler a few years ago, had actually become a Holy Emperor. All of them found it hard to believe.
Jianchen, who had already left through the Space Gate, had no idea just how shocked he had been to the people of the Qin Empire. He had already arrived ten kilometers away from Flame City.
From afar, Jianchen could see the majestic, dark walls of the city. It seemed like a prostrating serpent dragon, radiating with an invisible pressure that deeply shocked his soul.
The city gate of Extinguishing Flame City was wide open. A large number of people dressed as mercenaries were walking in and out of the city gate. They were either walking on foot or riding on magical beasts, leaving a trail of footprints on the ground.
Flame City was bustling right now. Not only were there several million people living in the city, but there were also many shops. The streets were bustling with activity, filled with life.
Jianchen slowly looked up and saw a plaque with the words' Flame City 'on it. Killing intent immediately began to boil within him, surging into the sky uncontrollably.
The city before him that was completely constructed from tungsten alloy originally belonged to the Flame Mercenaries. The people living in the city and the flags fluttering on the walls all belonged to the Flame Mercenaries, but now, everything had changed. It had all become someone else's.
When he thought about how the city that the Flame Mercenaries had painstakingly constructed after expending so much wealth and effort, Jianchen could not contain his anger.
"Argh!" Jianchen roared at the sky. His voice was like thunder, exploding through the surroundings. The terrifying sound waves possessed enough power to pierce through metal and rock. Not only did they tear the clouds to pieces, but they also caused the entire city to tremble gently, causing a thick layer of dust to fall.
On the city walls of Extinguishing Flame City, the members of the Extinguishing Flame Alliance who were guarding the city all covered their ears with their hands. They fell to the ground and rolled around in pain. Everyone's eardrums were hurt by the roar, and blood flowed out of their ears.
It was not just them. Countless people in the city were affected as well. The several million people's eardrums had ruptured from Jianchen's roar, causing them to suffer from splitting headaches. Some of them had even fainted.
In the blink of an eye, the city was in chaos. People were lying on the ground all over the streets.
A single roar from Jianchen was enough to incapacitate several million people from the Flame Mercenaries. Countless people were injured. This was the might of the Holy Emperor.
Roar!
At the same time, a deafening tiger's roar rang out. It was filled with a vast sense of majesty, as if a supreme king had descended and looked down on the world.
The White Tiger on Jianchen's shoulder suddenly stood up. It mimicked Jianchen and roared at the sky, producing a sound that was completely disproportionate to its tiny body. Although it was nowhere near as majestic as Jianchen, its roar possessed a deterrence that Jianchen did not possess. It possessed a supreme sense of majesty that could not be violated.
Countless magical beasts in the city all cried out sorrowfully. They all lay on the ground and trembled. Deep fear filled their eyes. The weaker mercenaries who had not fainted from Jianchen's roar all tilted their heads and fainted from the roar.
Over twenty powerful presences appeared in the imperial palace at the center of the city. The twenty or so Saint Rulers who were cultivating in the palace were all alarmed. They all flew out of the palace.
The Flame Mercenaries Alliance was composed of over a dozen peak mercenary groups. The twenty or so Saint Rulers were the old captains of the mercenaries.
The Saint Rulers arrived at the entrance of the city with lightning-like speed. They all became extremely stern when they saw Jianchen hovering in the air.
With their strength, they could obviously sense Jianchen's strength. The tremendous presence from Jianchen made them shiver inside. They all understood that the person before them was definitely an expert on par with the Holy Emperor.
They had heard of Jianchen before, but they had never seen Jianchen before. As a result, they failed to recognize Jianchen immediately.
"May I ask for senior's name? Why have you become enemies with our Flame Mercenaries Alliance? We don't seem to have offended senior," a Saint Ruler from the Flame Mercenaries Alliance carefully asked.
Jianchen radiated with killing intent as he coldly stared at the Saint Rulers. He called out, "You've stolen my city and chased away my Flame Mercenaries. Who do you think I am?"
The Saint Rulers of the Flame Extinguishing Alliance all became stunned when they heard that. One of them returned to his senses and immediately cried out, "Are you the captain of the Flame Mercenaries, Jian Chen?"
"What? He's the Jianchen that the protector clans have been searching for all these years? If that's the case, doesn't that mean the white tiger on his shoulder is the Winged Tiger?"
"Impossible, this is definitely impossible. It's said that Jianchen is only a Saint Ruler and that he's only broken through recently. How did he become a Holy Emperor so quickly …"
"No matter how great Jianchen's talent is, it's impossible for him to cultivate so quickly. He's definitely not Jianchen."
The Saint Rulers all cried out. They all looked at Jianchen in disbelief, but most of them looked at the White Tiger on Jianchen's shoulder. Greed and desire filled their eyes.
Jianchen's face was sunken. He glanced past the Saint Rulers with a sharp gaze, but he did not find Bianwang. As a result, he called out, "The captain of the Flame Mercenaries, Jianchen, has come. Where is Bianwang? Come out and die!"
Jianchen's loud voice reverberated through the surroundings, causing the surrounding space to tremble. It reached a hundred kilometers away.
"What? The captain of the Flame Mercenaries, Jianchen, has returned?"
"It's captain Jianchen. Captain Jianchen has returned."
…
Some of the mercenaries who had not fainted in the city all cried out. Their faces all became extremely mixed. This was because they used to belong to the Flame Mercenaries. However, after the Flame Mercenaries collapsed, they joined the Extinguishing Alliance and became a part of it.
The Saint Rulers of the Extinguish Alliance finally confirmed Jianchen's identity when they heard Jianchen's report. Their faces all drastically changed. If Jianchen was only a Saint Ruler, they obviously would not fear him, but Jianchen radiated with the presence of the Holy Emperor, which made them all shiver in fear.
"Hmph, the captain of the Flame Mercenaries, Jianchen, isn't even fifty years old yet. It's already pretty good for him to become a Saint Ruler at his age. I refuse to believe that he's really reached the level of the Holy Emperor. His presence is probably fake as well. It's not his true strength," a Saint Ruler from the Extinguish Alliance doubted.
"Yeah, it's impossible for such a young Holy Emperor to appear on the Tian Yuan Continent. His presence must be fake. His true strength might not be greater than ours. Let's all go together and tear through his disguise. Don't be fooled by him," another Saint Ruler called out. Another Saint Ruler called out. With that, he drew his Saint Weapon and charged at Jian Chen with his three companions.
Jianchen's gaze was extremely cold. The Emperor Armament appeared in his hand and he stabbed it toward the four Saint Rulers.
The four Saint Rulers cried out at the same time and struck out as hard as they could. Their Saint Weapons tore through space and shot toward Jianchen with powerful ripples of energy.
Jianchen's Emperor Armament collided with their Saint Weapons. How could an attack as powerful as the Holy Emperor's Seventh Heavenly Layer be withstood by mere Saint Rulers? The Saint Weapons of the four Saint Rulers immediately shattered, causing them to vomit blood. Their faces paled in a single moment.
The Emperor Armament did not slow down at all. It cleaved through their heads like a bolt of lightning, cleaving their heads in half and wiping out their souls. Blood splattered in the air like a blooming flower.
Four Saint Rulers had actually been slain so easily. They could not put up any resistance at all.
The expressions of all the Saint Rulers from the Extinguish Alliance drastically changed when they personally witnessed this. They retreated again and again in the air as their gazes toward Jianchen underwent a drastic change.
