Rum Guinness glanced at Jianchen in doubt, as if she wanted to see through Jianchen's strength. However, she was unable to see through Jianchen at her current level of cultivation. Jianchen seemed to have become an ordinary person in her eyes.
"We are extremely grateful for your assistance, but the ruler of the Gilligan clan is just too powerful. He also has the support of many Class 7 Magical Beasts, so we can't take the risk so easily before we have absolute confidence in victory," said Rum Guinness. Although she had gained a rough understanding of Jianchen's experiences in the past few years from the White Tiger, she still had no idea about Jianchen's exact strength.
However, Rum Guinness guessed that Jianchen was only an Earth Saint Master when she first met him all those years ago. She did not take someone like that seriously at all. No matter how great Jianchen's talent was, it was impossible for him to surpass her in such a short amount of time.
As for why she could see through Jianchen's strength, Rum Guinness had already attributed it to the protection of some treasures. After all, the artifact space before her was a very good example.
Jianchen could not help but smile when he saw Rum Guinness' lack of confidence. He said, "Senior, your worries are unnecessary. Although the ruler of the Gilligan clan is a Class 8 Magical Beast and is comparable to our human Holy Emperor, he can only be regarded as someone who has just reached the level of a Holy Emperor. I obviously have my ways to deal with him. He's not a threat to us."
"Is this true? Do we already possess the power to fend off the Gilligan clan? "Rum Guinness asked in surprise as excitement filled her face.
Jianchen nodded and said, "Senior, you should go recover your strength first. Once you're in peak condition, we'll immediately set off for the Cross Mountains and kill our way to the Gilligan clan. We'll avenge the White Tiger's father and your husband."
Afterwards, Rum Guinness returned to the hall to recover her strength. Jianchen did not disturb Nubis who was comprehending battle skills. He strolled around the artifact space with You Yue.
The artifact space had existed for several hundred thousand years already. After such a long period of change, countless magical beasts had been born. Although all the Class 8 Magical Beasts had left, there were still quite a few Class 7 Magical Beasts present.
These Class 7 Magical Beasts were born in the artifact space, so they would die in the artifact space. Although they all knew that there was another world outside the artifact space, they could not leave because they were basically trapped in the artifact space. Unless they could break through to Class 9 and become existences like the Holy Emperor, they would never be able to see the outside world for the rest of their lives.
"There are quite a few Class 7 Magical Beasts in the artifact space. If they're used properly, they'll be an extremely powerful force," Jian Chen thought. He had already begun to plan for the Class 7 Magical Beasts, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to give up for now.
If he took the Class 7 Magical Beasts out, the first ones to suppress him would probably be the ten protector clans. He knew very well that the protector clans would never allow so many Class 7 Magical Beasts to appear on the Tian Yuan Continent, and it was even more impossible for them to be used by him to increase the strength of the protector clans in Changyang Prefecture.
Although he no longer feared the protector clans, that was all because he had the support of Ruijin and Black Fish. If the two of them were no longer present, it would be very difficult for the protector clans in Changyang Prefecture to fend off the other protector clans.
"Once my strength grows to the point where I can directly oppose the protector clans, I'll be able to subdue these Class 7 Magical Beasts and use them for myself," Jian Chen thought. His gaze became extremely determined. He was unwilling to waste such a tremendous amount of energy in the artifact space.
However, he still could not use it right now.
There were quite a few aged heavenly resources in the artifact space. Jianchen used the past few days to properly collect them. He had obtained a large amount of heavenly resources, planning on using them to hire alchemists to refine pills in the future to increase the strength of the Flame Mercenaries. At the same time, he could raise a group of loyal people.
The heavenly resources he had obtained from the grand elder of Mercenary City had all been used up by the White Tiger. Not a single one remained, so Jianchen did not have any extra heavenly resources aside from the aged Dragon's Saliva Grass.
During the past few days, Jianchen saw the Class 7 Black Crow Beast again. When Jianchen participated in the trial in the artifact space as a Radiant Saint Master, he had killed many of the Black Crow Beast King's descendants, resulting in some grievances. If it were not for the fact that all the Magical Beasts above Class 7 had been trapped by the Artifact Spirit back then, the Black Crow Beast King probably would have charged out and ripped Jianchen to pieces long ago.
However, today was different. When Jianchen saw the Class 7 Magical Beast again, it no longer dared to show any displeasure towards Jianchen. Instead, it bowed politely towards Jianchen. Jianchen did not make things difficult for the Class 7 Magical Beast. After all, the Black Crow Beast King might become a great general under his command in the future.
A few days later, Rum Guinness made a full recovery. She returned to her peak condition and left with Jianchen.
Jianchen left the artifact space with You Yue and the White Tiger, returning to the cave. As soon as he appeared, he saw Ruijin and Black Fish seated nearby. The two of them had been waiting there silently for the past few days.
Ruijin and Black Fish slowly opened their eyes and stood up at the same time. They glanced at Rum Guinness indifferently as a sliver of surprise appeared in their deep eyes. Although the two of them did not take Rum Guinness' strength seriously, her identity as the mother of the Winged Tiger was enough for them to treat her in a new light.
"Seniors, now that we've found the mother of the White Tiger, we'll be going to the Cross Mountains for revenge. Please open the door for us," Jianchen said to the two of them.
Ruijin remained silent for a while before replying, "I've already gained a rough understanding of the current situation on the Tian Yuan Continent after spending a few days in Mercenary City. The Cross Mountains are an organization of the Beast God Continent. It's extremely likely for the Beast God Continent to react violently if you openly provoke them like this. Right now, we've basically become enemies with the experts of the Tian Yuan Continent and the Beast God Continent. The Beast God Continent has three Class 9 Magical Beasts and two of them have always been eyeing the Winged Tiger. Although the other one stands with the Winged Tiger, we can't trust him completely. "
"There's also the Holy Emperor on the Tian Yuan Continent. Although his path of emotions and desires can't do anything to Black Fish and me, his target is the Winged Tiger after all. If he works with the Class 9 Magical Beasts of the Beast God Continent to deal with us, just me and Black Fish will struggle to stop them. As a result, we need to increase our strength right now."
"Senior Ruijin, do you plan on gathering all the Class 8 Magical Beasts that came out of the artifact space with you?" Jianchen was overjoyed.
"I'm not talking about them. With their strength, they won't be able to fend off Class 9 Magical Beasts even if they're gathered together. I'm talking about the Divine Scorching Phoenix of the Divine Phoenix clan." Ruijin said before looking at Black Fish, "Black Fish, you can go with Jianchen to the Cross Mountains. I'll go find Honglian first. If there's anything you can't handle, contact me using a secret technique."
Black Fish nodded but said nothing.
Ruijin left as soon as he said he would. He immediately ripped open a Space Gate and left. Black Fish did not remain idle either. He ripped open a Space Gate to the Cross Mountains as well and left with Jianchen and the others.
Jianchen stepped through the Space Gate with You Yue in his arms. He instantly crossed several million kilometers and appeared outside the Cross Mountains. Afterwards, they all flew towards the depths of the Cross Mountains.
At this moment, all the influential figures from the other nine protector clans, aside from those from Changyang Prefecture, had gathered together to discuss something. Apart from the people from the Pure Heart Pavilion who remained calm, everyone else frowned and became stern.
This was not the first time they had gathered together like this. However, every time they gathered together, the goal was the same. It was either the Winged Tiger or Jianchen and Changyang Prefecture.
Now that Jianchen had returned with the divine hall, even a Great Perfection expert like the Holy Emperor would not be able to threaten him. Coupled with the Winged Tiger by his side and his relationship with Changyang Prefecture, they all felt extremely threatened. Not to mention the fact that Jianchen now had two extremely terrifying experts, Ruijin and Black Fish, by his side, which made them feel even more uneasy.
Although the protector clans were the ultimate power that protected the continent, they also needed to maintain a balance among themselves. They kept each other in check. Even if a single clan possessed the greatest strength, they could not cross the bottom line. The current situation of Changyang Prefecture had completely exceeded what they could endure.
If Changyang Prefecture obtained the assistance of Ruijin and Black Fish, they would not be able to suppress them even if they worked together. Although they had the power to back them up, they could only use it against invaders and when they encountered existences they could not stop.
On the Beast God Continent, Kaiser and Lankyros were currently gathered on the ninety-eighth floor of the Beast God Hall. Their faces were sunken.
