Jianchen fell silent when he heard Tian Jian's words. Now that he had confirmed Tie Ta's identity, he was very unsettled.
At the same time, he understood extremely well that although Tie Ta was innocent, he was still the war god of the Hundred Races after all. The war god of the previous generation and the Hundred Races were all enemies of the Tian Yuan Continent, so the ten protector clans would never let him go because of what had happened back then.
Jianchen felt some lingering fear after learning about Tie Ta's identity. If Tian Jian had not arrived in time and brought Tie Ta to Mercenary City before the ten protector clans arrived, the outcome would have been unthinkable. Jianchen might have lost a friend forever.
Although Tie Ta's true identity was not a human, Jian Chen did not care about that at all. In his heart, no matter who Tie Ta's true identity was or what he had become, he would still be his best friend.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Jianchen's head. He thought about the droplet of golden blood he had come across on Dragon Island. He thought, "That droplet of blood was left behind by the war god Arregis. It possesses great power. Tie Ta is also the war god of the Hundred Races, so I wonder if he can absorb the blood. If he can, his strength will definitely increase drastically."
"Looks like I'll have to take Tie Ta to Dragon Island with me when the time comes," Jianchen thought.
At this moment, the presence of Ming Dong and Tie Ta pulsed as they both roused at the same time. As soon as they opened their eyes, they discovered Jianchen standing with Tian Jian. They were stunned at first, but they soon returned to their senses and became excited.
"Jianchen, you've actually returned!" Ming Dong immediately cried out. He shot forward and hugged Jianchen tightly. He was extremely excited.
"Fantastic. Jianchen, you've finally returned." Tie Ta stood up as well. He looked at Jianchen, who was only as tall as his chest, and his face was filled with excitement.
Jian Chen and Ming Dong separated after hugging each other for a while. Afterwards, they arrived before Tie Ta. Looking at Tie Ta's three-meter-tall figure, Jian Chen viciously hammered Tie Ta's burly body and said, "Tie Ta, I never thought that you would grow so big in just a few years."
Tie Ta smiled in a simple manner. He scratched his head and said with a muffled voice, "I don't know what's going on either. My body just keeps growing bigger and bigger."
Jianchen and Tie Ta chatted for a while. Ming Dong seemed to suddenly think of something, and his face became gloomy. He looked at Jianchen apologetically and said, "Jianchen, I'm sorry. We were useless. We couldn't protect your Flame City, allowing it to be taken over by the Extinguishing Alliance led by the king."
Tie Ta also became gloomy when he heard Ming Dong's words. He looked at Jianchen apologetically and guiltily. Tie Ta also felt extremely guilty about what happened in Flame City, even though he was not responsible for it.
Jianchen laughed involuntarily when he heard that. He said, "I already know about that, but don't worry. As long as it's something that belongs to me, Jianchen, no one can take it away from me. I've already taken back Flame City that the Extinguishing Alliance took."
Ming Dong and Tie Ta immediately became overjoyed. However, Ming Dong seemed to realize something soon after. A sliver of worry appeared on his face, "But Jianchen, the Tian Yuan Continent won't let the Tian Yuan Continent take back Flame City.
The ten protector clans won't let us take over Flame City. If the ten protector clans interfere again, we won't be able to protect Flame City with our strength. Even uncle Tian won't be able to do anything. "
"The ten protector clans," Jian Chen murmured. He could not help but sneer, "If the ten protector clans dare to interfere, I, Jianchen, will definitely make them suffer."
Although the protector clans had Emperor Armaments that could destroy his divine hall of the Eight Wastelands, their Emperor Armaments were just too powerful. They could not be used unless it was absolutely necessary. Unless he forced the protector clans to do what he did to the Yiyuan sect, Jianchen believed that the protector clans would not use their Emperor Armaments so easily.
And even if they did use their Emperor Armaments against him, he had the support of the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture. At the very least, Jianchen had the power to contend against them. Coupled with Tian Jian from Mercenary City, it would not be easy for the protector clans to use their Emperor Armaments if they wanted to.
Lastly, he had Ruijin and Black Fish behind him, two supreme experts who could fend off the Holy Emperor. Even if the protector clans wanted to use their Emperor Armaments against him at the risk of offending Mercenary City, he would have nothing to fear.
Although their Emperor Armaments possessed the might of the Holy Emperor, Tian Jian and Black Fish were protected by origin energy armor. Even the Holy Emperor would struggle to harm them. The Emperor Armaments of the protector clans were unable to harm the two of them at all.
Jianchen's arrogant words immediately surprised Ming Dong and Tie Ta. They both stared at Jianchen with widened eyes.
"Heavens, Jianchen, you're not even afraid of the protector clans. Just what level of strength have you reached? Are you already able to fend off the protector clans?" Ming Dong cried out.
"If I use my Emperor Armament, I can fend off the Holy Emperor, who's at the Seventh Heavenly Layer," Jianchen smiled faintly. There were very few things he could hide from Ming Dong and Tie Ta.
However, Ming Dong and Tie Ta immediately felt their hearts churn when they heard what Jianchen had said. Disbelief filled their faces.
"S- Holy Emperor, who's at the Seventh Heavenly Layer? Heavens, Jianchen, y- y- you've already become so powerful," Ming Dong stuttered as he stared at Jianchen. Ming Dong stammered as he stared at Jian Chen in shock. At that moment, his shock had reached its limit.
Tie Ta was stunned for quite a while as well. Only then did he gradually return to his senses. He sighed emotionally, "Jian Chen, I thought I'd already improved quickly enough and could surpass you, but I never thought that after a few years, you'd still be stronger than me. The gap between us has been pulled further and further apart. It looks like I won't be able to surpass you for the rest of my life."
Jianchen smiled when he heard Tie Ta's words, "Tie Ta, you need to have confidence in yourself. You need to believe in yourself. You will definitely surpass me in the future and become an expert who can surpass the Holy Emperor on the Tian Yuan Continent."
"Surpass the Holy Emperor? Can I really do that?" Tie Ta's eyes immediately lit up when he heard the words' surpass the Holy Emperor '.
…
Jianchen chatted with Tie Ta and Ming Dong for a while before looking at Tian Jian. His expression changed rapidly, becoming filled with some sorrow.
"Senior Tian Jian, I want to see the remains of my parents," Ming Dong said softly. As soon as he thought about his father and mother's situation, his joy from meeting Ming Dong and Jian Chen immediately vanished.
Tian Jian nodded silently and said, "Come with me." With that, he turned around and made his way out of the hall.
Jianchen immediately followed Tian Jian to where his parents' remains were. Ming Dong and Tie Ta dismissed their emotions as well. They followed behind Jianchen with heavy hearts. The two of them felt extremely sad and sad about what had happened to Jianchen's parents.
Jianchen followed Tian Jian to a secret room in the divine hall. The entire room was filled with icy-cold air, causing a layer of white frost to form on the walls. White mist from the cold air permeated the air as well.
As soon as he set foot in the room, Jianchen's gaze locked onto the huge ice coffin in the center of the room. Through the transparent ice coffin, he could clearly see his parents lying inside.
"In order to preserve your parents' remains better, I specially made a trip to the north pole and brought back some extreme ice. It can ensure that your parents' remains will remain intact for a thousand years. Jianchen, you've been separated from your parents for quite a few years now. You should have a proper reunion. " Tian Jian spoke with mixed feelings before leaving with Ming Dong and Tie Ta, leaving Jianchen alone in the room filled with coldness.
Jianchen slowly made his way over to the ice coffin. He stood there quietly as he stared at his parents. Unknowingly, two streams of clear tears had already rolled down his cheeks.
Who said that men did not cry when they bled? That was only because they had not been deeply hurt.
Jianchen was an indomitable and vicious man on the outside. In the past, no matter how much blood he had bled or how much pain and torture he had endured, he had never shed a single tear. He gave others the impression that he had a heart of stone. However, there was still a weak side to him.
That was his kinship and family!
Jianchen stared at his parents in a daze. In a daze, his memories returned to the past. He thought about his mother's concern for him when he was young, as well as her meticulous care and love. He also thought about her beautiful, benevolent face.
"Father, mother, I've returned. I've returned to see you. I'm now a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master. I'll be able to wake you up from your slumber very soon," Jian Chen murmured. With a thought, a golden streak of light immediately shot out from between his eyebrows, turning into a golden tower before him. Afterward, Jianchen entered the saint artifact as well.
Jianchen currently sat in a rather gloomy room within the huge hall at the center of the artifact space. The white-robed, middle-aged man from the Artifact Spirit stood to one side politely.
"Artifact Spirit, teach me the three Soul-controlling Techniques immediately," Jianchen growled. Only by learning the three Soul-controlling Techniques could he bring someone back from the dead.
