Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mu Chen’s laughter rang through the stillness of the hall, but this time, no one dared to mock him. Instead, many of the leaders trembled as they secretly lamented. When powerful characters fight, ordinary folks like us suffer. From what they saw, they had all misjudged the circumstances. The handsome young man before them was not a newborn calf but a ferocious beast.
Seeing how he could easily thrash a Complete Earthly Sovereign, no matter how foolish one was, they could tell that Mu Chen was a true Heavenly Sovereign! However, they had never seen such a young Heavenly Sovereign.
No one dared to say a word. Whether it was Mu Chen or the terrifying background behind Lord Hundred Spirit, they could not afford to trifle with them. They were like gods who could easily control their fate. So, in the face of this epic battle, the only thing they could do was to pull their heads in like a tortoise.
At a time of fear among the leaders of these forces, the high-ranking members of the Northern Spiritual Alliance also gazed at the scene, and even Tang Qian’Er was astonished. They also had not expected that a Complete Earthly Sovereign would be as weak and fragile as a doll in Mu Chen’s hands.
These high-ranking members of the Northern Spiritual Alliance were all Dominators of the Northern Spiritual Realm, and they were naturally quite familiar with Mu Chen. When Mu Chen had left the Northern Spiritual Realm, he was only a young boy. Who could have expected that when they saw him again, he would have reached a point they could not have imagined?
In the deathly quiet atmosphere, Lord Hundred Spirit’s face was green with fury as he sat upon his throne. Although there was some shock in his eyes, he did not feel as appalled as the others. After all, his parents were also Heavenly Sovereigns.
He was furious at Mu Chen’s disdain towards him as he sneered. “How arrogant! My guard is an Elder of the Beixuan Clan. How dare you maim him?! Do you have any regard for the Beixuan Clan?”
Mu Chen smiled and replied, “Beixuan Clan? Never heard of it.”
Lord Hundred Spirit scoffed. “My father is the Clan Leader of the Beixuan Clan, a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign!” At this point, there was clearly a trace of complacency in his voice. Although he could not discern Mu Chen’s background, he was able to speculate that the latter should only be a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign.
Although Lord Hundred Spirit was only a Lower Earthly Sovereign and was far from the pinnacle of Heavenly Sovereign, he was clear about the ranks between Heavenly Sovereigns due to his parents. A Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign was defenseless before a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign. It was also why Lord Hundred Spirit had no fear despite knowing that Mu Chen was a Heavenly Sovereign.
Mu Chen nodded and said, “A God Grade Heavenly Sovereign is formidable, indeed. But you’re still an imbecile.”
The mocking smile on Lord Hundred Spirit’s face froze as his hand crushed the throne’s armrest. He did not expect such arrogance and utter disdain from Mu Chen, especially after revealing that his father was a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign.
Beside Lord Hundred Spirit, another black-robed old man stepped forward with a grave expression. He clasped his fists and said, “Your Excellency, you have crippled an Elder of our Beixuan Clan. It should be enough to appease your anger. Why wage war against our Beixuan Clan? If Your Excellency is willing to make a concession, our Beixuan Clan will not pursue today’s matter.”
As an elder of the Beixuan Clan, the black-robed old man was aware of a Heavenly Sovereign’s power. Although Lord Hundred Spirit’s background was strong, if he really angered the young Heavenly Sovereign, he would kill them in an instant. Even when Lord Hundred Spirit’s father came to avenge him and kill Mu Chen, they would already be dead by then.
When Lord Hundred Spirit saw that the black-robed old man took a placating approach, he sneered coldly and refused to back down. He glared at Mu Chen, his eyes full of provocation. “Hmph, Elder Lyu, don’t be afraid of him! I want to see what he can do with me today! Even if he kills me, my father will kill him to avenge me! It’s worth it if I can drag a Heavenly Sovereign down with me in death!”
Over the years, with the help of his parents, no one had dared to go against Lord Hundred Spirit. But today, he had been called an imbecile straight to his face. This utterly enraged him. He was ruthless and had no fear of Mu Chen just killing him.
“It seems you don’t believe that I will really kill you.” Mu Chen fiddled with the cup and smiled nonchalantly. A cold, murderous intent surged in his tone, which caused the hall’s atmosphere to chill. The leaders of many forces shivered, and then they looked at Mu Chen in horror. This guy is not really going to kill Lord Hundred Spirit, is he?
If Lord Hundred Spirit really died there, the Beixuan Clan Leader and Thousand Flower Clan Leader’s wrath would result in bloodshed in the entire Hundred Spirit Continent!
“You brat!” Mu Feng could not help but to reprimand his son. He was not afraid of Lord Hundred Spirit, but he was worried that when Mu Chen killed him, his parents would then seek revenge against him. Although he did not know how powerful Mu Chen was now, the vengeance of two Heavenly Sovereigns was bound to be rather terrifying, so he would rather suffer grievances than risk Mu Chen’s safety.
Behind them, other high-ranking members of the Northern Spiritual Alliance, such as Tang Shan, were also nervous. Now that things had come to this point, they could no longer intervene. However, they also knew that if Lord Hundred Spirit died there, once his parents had retaliated, the whole Northern Spiritual Realm would face utter destruction. After all, despite Mu Chen’s strength, it was likely that he could not withstand two Heavenly Sovereigns. Furthermore, one was a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign.
“Mu Chen…” Tang Qian’Er also tugged at Mu Chen’s sleeve. Although Lord Hundred Spirit was abhorrent, this guy’s background was really strong. It would be disastrous if they waged war against him.
Seeing their reactions, Mu Chen smiled at them and said, “Believe me, I will deal with this.”
Looking at Mu Chen’s smile, Mu Feng did not comment further. He knew his son very well. Mu Chen was not a reckless man, and since he said he would do so, he must have some cards up his sleeve.
Tang Qian’Er hesitated for a moment and also nodded.
As Mu Chen was assuring Mu Feng and Tang Qian’Er, Lord Hundred Spirit smirked complacently. Seeing Mu Feng and Tang Qian’Er’s hesitation, he knew that his threats had been effective. So what if he was a Heavenly Sovereign? In front of his parents’ majesty, he had to bow down to him!
As Lord Hundred Spirit was pleased with himself, Mu Chen’s nonchalant voice rang out slowly, “You seem to have a lot of faith in your parents. In that case, I will give you a chance to call both your parents here. I would like to see if they can save you today.”
Lord Hundred Spirit’s eyes narrowed as he glared at Mu Chen viciously.
“Your Excellency!” the black-robed old man hurriedly exclaimed.
Instead of listening, Mu Chen said directly to the old man, “I’ll give you half a day to bring in all the reinforcements he can call in.” His voice suddenly paused, then he stretched out his finger and pointed gently towards Lord Hundred Spirit.
Bang!
Lord Hundred Spirit’s arm was blown off, and he began bleeding profusely. Ignoring Lord Hundred Spirit’s agonized shrieks, Mu Chen waved his sleeve and threw Lord Hundred Spirit’s bloody arm at the now horrified old man.
“Take it, or they’ll think I’m joking.”
In the hall, everyone looked at Lord Hundred Spirit, who was holding his shoulder and screaming. Their scalps tingled in fear as they grew numb. They did not expect Mu Chen to be so decisive. Looking at this, he was bent on waging war with Lord Hundred Spirit’s parents.
The black-robed old man held the bloody arm, an appalled expression on his face.
Lord Hundred Spirit cradled bleeding shoulder and roared ferociously, his eyes full of venomous hatred, “Elder Lyu, go! Go! Get my parents, I want this b*stard to die today! I want his entire family dead!”
Mu Chen frowned, then pointed again. Lord Hundred Spirit’s other arm promptly exploded. “Take two, then.” Mu Chen smiled and threw the other arm to the black-robed old man. Mu Chen’s smile caused chills to run down the old man’s spine.
The old man held the two arms as he grit his teeth and said, “Your Excellency, you are in deep trouble this time! You will regret it!” He was afraid to stay any longer. He transformed into a stream of light and soared into the sky. He headed quickly towards the Transfer Spiritual Array located in the center of the city.
With the old man’s departure, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely stifling. Although Lord Hundred Spirit’s arms were gone, he still glared at Mu Chen venomously, but he no longer cried out. Apparently, he was waiting for his parents to come. When the time came, he would break all the limbs of Mu Chen’s loved ones and slowly torture them to death before his eyes.
Mu Chen ignored the repressive atmosphere in the hall as he turned to Mu Feng and smirked cheekily. “Dad, I brought someone back for you.”
Mu Feng was full of thoughts about what to do when Lord Hundred Spirit’s parents arrived, so he did not have much interest in Mu Chen’s words. He retorted, “I am not interested in whomever you bring here.”
Upon hearing these words, Mu Chen’s smirk grew bigger as a hint of gloating appeared on his face. Mu Feng felt something amiss about Mu Chen’s expression, but before he could ask, he heard a whisper coming from outside the hall.
“Oh? So you’re not interested in me, either?” As the voice rang, many leaders saw an elegant silhouette walk forward slowly from the outside of the hall. Her beautiful eyes glared at Mu Feng.
Crash.
Looking at the silhouette, Mu Feng’s eyes widened. He dropped the cup in his hand, and it shattered to smithereens on the ground.
