Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Boom!
When Mo Yin and Hei Guang finished speaking, the space around them collapsed, with them as the focal point. Their horrifying power caused the entire Great Thousand House to tremble. However, they kept their strength condensed within a certain scope, as they did not want to destroy the entire building. After all, this was a territory belonging to the Great Thousand Palace. Even the Budur Ancient Clan had to give them respect. Even so, pressure from the two Heavenly Sovereigns swept out, and it was enough to strike fear in a Complete Earthly Sovereign at his peak.
“Let’s see whether you can steal someone from me today!” The Scarlet Flame Deity saw that these two old men were so domineering, and his heart surged with anger. He immediately laughed coldly, and a terrible pressure emanated from him. The scarlet spiritual energy burned as if it were magma, causing the temperature inside the Great Thousand House to rise.
He stood in front of Mu Chen, resisting the oppression from Mo Yin and Hei Guang as much as possible. When Mo Yin and Hei Guang saw that the Scarlet Flame Deity had decided to protect Mu Chen, their old faces grew increasingly dark. However, they did not show any signs of stopping. They had decided that no matter what, they would capture Mu Chen!
The Eight Budur must not fall into his hands. As the thought flashed in their minds, Mo Yin and Hei Guang looked at each other. Hei Guang immediately took one step forward, dealing a blow to the Scarlet Flame Deity. That strike may have seemed understated, but inky spiritual energy compressed wildly in his palm. It finally turned into a black sun the size of a human head.
There was no light in the dark sun, and although it seemed small, everyone could feel what terrible power that little black sun contained. If the dark sun was thrown out of control, the entire Holy Gulf City would soon be transformed into a bottomless chasm. The destructive power of a Heavenly Sovereign was beyond imagination.
Upon seeing the dark sun in Hei Guang’s palm, the Scarlet Flame Deity’s gaze grew solemn. He did not dare to underestimate it, as his wizened face quickly turned red. Opening his mouth, a wisp of flame that seemed to flow with magma sprang out.
The flame trembled, as if it would be extinguished once the wind blew. But when it appeared, everyone felt a terrible heat radiating out, as if even the space would be burned by that temperature.
They all knew that this was the result of the convergence of Hei Guang and the Scarlet Flame Deity’s power. Otherwise, once the flame floated out, everything within a radius of thousands of miles would become an endless sea of fire.
Whoosh!
The dark sun and the fire collided brutally, but there was no terrible noise. However, anyone could see that both were eating into each other frantically, and the clashing space was constantly broken in the collision.
As Hei Guang and the Scarlet Flame Deity were embroiled in battle, Mo Yin stared at Mu Chen coldly and smiled. He then walked towards Mu Chen. Upon seeing this, the Scarlet Flame Deity’s face changed. Now that he was occupied in a fierce confrontation with Hei Guang, if he retreated, Hei Guang would actively attack and suppress him.
“You Budur Ancient Clan members are too overbearing! Are you intending to offend the Great Spirit Ancient Clan?” the Scarlet Flame Deity said gravely.
Mo Yin continued walking and sneered. “Scarlet Flame, you think too highly of yourself. You still cannot represent the Great Spirit Ancient Clan!” As he said this, his eyes locked onto Mu Chen coldly, like a hawk staring at its prey. “I’d like to see how you, perpetrator, are going to escape today.”
Behind them, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin were happy to see this, and there was both complacence and pity in their eyes. So what if you have won the approval of the old ancestor. You are unable to keep the Eight Budur in the end, anyway.
Mu Chen gazed at Mo Yin approaching with an ominous aura. His face was strangely unafraid, for he knew that fear was of no use. He stretched out his hand and blocked Luo Li, who was clenching her fists. A cold glint surged in his dark eyes.
If he had faced a Heavenly Sovereign before entering the Ancient Holy Gulf, he would have had to run away. But now, not only was he a Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign, but he also had won the trump cards of the Mystery Dragon Army and the Eight Budur. With these cards, if he really went all out, Mo Yin would not be able to kill him easily.
If the old dog really wanted to be aggressive, Mu Chen would let him know today that if he treated Mu Chen as a pushover, he had to be prepared to bleed through his teeth.
However, as Mu Chen’s gaze grew chilling, and he prepared to unleash his trump cards and clash with Elder Mo Xin, Qingxuan suddenly cried out behind him, “Granny He!”
Whoosh!
The ghostly figure appeared in front of Mu Chen. The figure was clad in a red robe and was the Wen’s Heavenly Sovereign, Granny He. She stood in front of Mu Chen, her eyes cold as she looked at Elder Mo Yin. As her robes billowed, the sound of a river surging emanated from her body.
Elder Mo Yin finally paused in his steps, and his old face became extremely gloomy. He stared at Granny He and said darkly, “Even the Wens want to interfere in the affairs of my Budur Ancient Clan?”
Granny He looked up and said nonchalantly, “Although the Wens are not as powerful as your Budur Ancient Clan, we also know we should repay one’s kindness. This boy has helped Qingxuan greatly, so I can’t watch you old scumbags bully him and do nothing.”
Anger surged in Mo Yin’s eyes, but he did not fly into a rage. He just took a deep breath and stared at Mu Chen. “I didn’t expect there would be so many people who want to protect you.”
Mu Chen stared at him expressionlessly, murderous intention flitting across his eyes.
“But it’s a pity. No matter how many people you have to protect you today, it is useless!” Mo Yin sneered, then he turned outside of the Great Thousand House. Clasping his fists, he said, “Ninth Elder, please strike.”
Sigh. Outside, there seemed to be a sigh. The crowd saw a bent old man holding a black staff, slowly entering from outside the gate. He was withered and thin, and had dark eyes. He was slow, but it was as though he had stepped through space as he appeared next to Mo Yin in one step.
The old man did not have much spiritual energy fluctuation, but when he appeared, the Scarlet Flame Deity and Granny He’s expressions could not help but change.
The Scarlet Flame Deity exclaimed gravely, “The Ninth Elder of the Budur Ancient Clan, Mo You?!”
“God Grade Heavenly Sovereign?!” Granny He’s gaze froze. In order to hunt down Mu Chen, the Budur Ancient Clan even sent out a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign? This class of figure, even in the Budur Ancient Clan, is a formidable character, but now he is personally out to arrest a Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign?
There was an uproar of astonishment in the Great Thousand House. Many Demon Slayers looked at Mu Chen in amazement, and there was sympathy in their gazes. This fellow sure knows how to stir things up, that so many Heavenly Sovereigns would strike him…
Mu Chen’s gaze darkened completely. He also had not expected that Mo Yin and Hei Guang would be cautious to this degree. In order to catch him, they had also invited a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign!
“Are you that perpetrator?” The old man holding a black staff looked at Mu Chen with his dark eyes. The tone of his voice was without a ripple of emotion.
“Looks like your Chief Elder’s words don’t have much impact in your Budur Ancient Clan,” Mu Chen mocked.
From Qing Shuang’s words, he knew that his mother had made an agreement with the Chief Elder of the Budur Ancient Clan. However, these days the Heavenly Sovereigns appeared again and again, apparently intending to ignore it.
“Chief Elder will understand the urgency of the matter.” The old man, named Mo You, said in a leisurely tone, “As long as you hand over the Eight Budur, I can let you go.”
Mu Chen’s face was emotionless as he slowly shook his head. A rune stone appeared in his palm. It had been given to him by the Martial Ancestor, and perhaps he had no choice but to use it at the moment.
In the face of a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign, he could fight to play some cards, but if it was a God Grade… Unless he could bring the Mystery Dragon Army to its peak, he might not stand a chance.
“Since you are so obstinate, I can only act against you as an elder.” Seeing Mu Chen refuse, Mo You sighed. He struck the black staff in his hands on the ground gently, and a black halo flew out from the staff. The black halo sealed the space, and even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth were confined to that range.
Mu Chen also felt the power of imprisonment and immediately pursed his mouth. He exerted force on his palm and wanted to crush the rune stone to summon the Martial Ancestor to help.
Bang!
However, the moment he was about to crush the rune stone, a cup of tea suddenly shot into the halo, smashing it. The sudden change stunned Mo You as he slowly looked up. He looked towards the Great Thousand House reception counter, where the gray-robed old man walked out slowly.
He was the head of this branch of the Great Thousand Palace. The gray-robed old man walked slowly towards Mu Chen and stood beside him, commenting lazily, “I think the Budur Ancient Clan has gone a little too far.”
Mo You frowned as his brows knit together. “Does the Great Thousand Palace also want to meddle?”
Although the Budur Ancient Clan was one of the five ancient tribes, the Great Thousand Palace also had a transcendent position in the world and was not afraid of them.
“This is a clan matter, and if the Great Thousand Palace wants to interfere, I am afraid it will be a violation of the rules,” Mo You said slowly. The status of the Great Thousand Palace was transcendent, but there were rules. One of those rules was to never meddle between the major forces.
The old man in gray robes shook his head and said, “It’s not me who broke the rules, but you.” As he said this, his eyes turned to Mu Chen, his gaze meaningful. Finally, he sighed exasperatedly, reached out his hand, and said, “Give me the Demon Slayer Token.”
Mu Chen was stunned, but still took out the golden Demon Slayer Token and placed it in the old man’s hands.
The old man in gray robes held the Demon Slayer Token, then lifted it up. He smiled at Mo You and said, “In my Great Thousand House, you want to touch the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace. Don’t you think you have broken the rules?”
