The Great Ruler

Chapter 1439 - Get backup

Mu Chen’s laughter resounded throughout the palace, but no one found it funny. Everyone trembled. Then, they bitterly sighed. It seems that they’ve misjudged this time. This handsome youth wasn’t a calf, but a ferocious beast...

Judging from how Mu Chen crippled a Perfected Earth Sovereign, they could guess that Mu Chen was a Heavenly Sovereign, even if they’re stupid; although they’ve never seen such a young Heavenly Sovereign!

“Indeed, mortals suffer when immortals are fighting.” They didn’t even dare to utter a word. Regardless of Mu Chen or the terrifying background of the Hundred Spirit King, they were existences that no one here could reach. They were akin to gods who dictated their fate.

Thus, they could only cower while the immortals were fighting...

While everyone here was terrified, Mu Feng and company from the Northern Spiritual Alliance were dumbfounded by this scene. It was so much so that even Tang Qian’er had widened her mouth with shock.

They also never expected that a Perfected Earth Sovereign would be like a puppet in Mu Chen’s hands...

The higher hierarchy of the Northern Spiritual Alliance right now was the various Territory Lords of the Northern Spiritual Realm, and they were familiar with Mu Chen. Back then, Mu Chen was still tender when he left. But who could have expected that the youth would be beyond their reach when he returned?

The Hundred Spirit King was pale at this silence with shock in his eyes. However, he wasn’t as shocked as the rest. After all, his parents were also Heavenly Sovereigns.

Thus, he felt angered by Mu Chen’s disdain and he sneered, “How mighty! You’ve crippled my bodyguard, who is an Elder of the Northern Profound Sect. Are you challenging my Northern Profound Sect?”

Mu Chen smiled. “The Northern Profound Sect? Never heard of it.”

The Hundred Spirit King ridiculed, “My father is the Sect Master of the Northern Profound Sect, an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign!”

As he spoke, his words contained traces of pride. Although he had no idea about Mu Chen’s background, he could guess that the latter was just a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign.

Although the Hundred Spirit King was just a Lesser Earth Sovereign, who had a huge gap away from the pinnacle figures of the Great Thousand World, he knew that Heavenly Sovereigns were separated by levels from his parents. Before an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign was nothing.

“Immortal Heavenly Sovereign... truly something.” Mu Chen nodded his head before he continued, “But you’re still trash.”

Instantly, the ridiculing smile on the Hundred Spirit King’s face froze. He never expected that Mu Chen would be so arrogant. Even after knowing that his father was an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, he did not back down.

The other black-robed elder took a step forth beside the Hundred Spirit King and cupped his hands together. “Lord, you’ve crippled an Elder of my Northern Profound Sect, and it can be considered that you’ve vented your anger. So why do you want to make things unhappy with my Northern Profound Sect?

“If you can take a step back, the Northern Profound Sect will absolutely not pursue this matter.”

As an Elder of the Northern Profound Sect, the black-robed elder knew the strength of a Heavenly Sovereign. Although the Hundred Spirit King had a powerful backing, they would die here if they provoked this young Heavenly Sovereign.

So even if the Hundred Spirit King’s father came to take revenge for them, all of them would be dead by then...

“Hmph, Elder Lu, there’s no need to be afraid of him! I’ll see what he dares to do to me today. Even if he kills me, my father will make sure he will follow me, and having a Heavenly Sovereign following me to my death isn’t a loss!”

Seeing the black-robed elder trying to calm things, the Hundred Spirit King sneered as he viciously stared at Mu Chen and challenged the latter with his gaze.

All these years, no one has gone against him with the backing of his parents. However, he was treated like trash today, which had completely infuriated him. At the same time, he wasn’t afraid of Mu Chen killing him.

“It looks like you’re really not afraid of me killing you.” Mu Chen fiddled the cup before him and indifferently smiled.

His voice contained a chilling killing intent that had instantly caused the entire palace to freeze. Everyone also shivered from the cold as they looked at Mu Chen in fear. ‘This fellow won’t really kill the Hundred Spirit King, right?’

If the Hundred Spirit King really died here, the Sect Master of the Northern Profound Sect and Hundred Flower Sect might bathe the entire Hundred Spirit Continent in blood!

“Stinking brat...” Mu Feng also couldn’t help speaking up. He wasn’t afraid of the Hundred Spirit King, but he was worried that Mu Chen might kill him. If that’s the case, the Hundred Spirit King’s parents would really take revenge on Mu Chen.

Although he had no idea how strong Mu Chen was, two Heavenly Sovereigns was exceptionally terrifying.

Thus, he would rather bear it down and not have Mu Chen take the risk.

The higher hierarchy of the Northern Spiritual Alliance also became uneasy. They couldn’t interfere in this matter, but they knew that if the Hundred Spirit King died here, the entire Northern Spiritual Realm might be implicated in the rage of the latter’s parents.

Although Mu Chen was powerful, he couldn’t deal with two Heavenly Sovereigns, right? Furthermore, one of them was even a legendary Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.

“Mu Chen...” Tang Qian’er also pulled Mu Chen. Although the Hundred Spirit King was hateful, that fellow had a powerful background. Thus, it wasn’t good if they fell out completely.

Turning to them, Mu Chen smiled at them. “Trust me. I will deal with it.”

Seeing Mu Chen’s smile, Mu Feng no longer spoke. He understood this son of his. Mu Chen wasn’t a rash person, and he must have confidence in doing this.

Even Tang Qian’er nodded her head after a brief hesitation.

The Hundred Spirit King had also noticed Mu Chen appeasing Mu Feng and Tang Qian’er. The hesitation of Mu Feng and Tang Qian’er made him understand that his threat was useful, which his smile instantly became arrogant.

‘So what if you’re a Heavenly Sovereign? Before my parents, you still have to bow down!’

“Looks like you’re pretty confident in your parents...” Mu Chen’s voice resounded as he smiled. “Since that’s the case, I’ll give you a chance. Call your parents here... I want to see who’s able to save you today.”

Hearing his words, the Hundred Spirit King’s pupils turned cold as he looked at Mu Chen.

“Lord!” The black-robed elder cried out.

However, Mu Chen did not hear anything he said and turned to him. “I’ll give you half a day to get any backup he wants...”

His voice suddenly paused before he stretched out his finger towards the Hundred Spirit King.

Instantly, an arm of the Hundred Spirit King was sliced off with blood flowing down. Disregarding the scream of the Hundred Spirit King, Mu Chen waved his hand and he threw that arm over to the black-robed elder. “Take it with you. Otherwise, they might think that I’m joking around.”

Looking at the Hundred Spirit King hugging his armless shoulder while screaming, everyone felt their scalps going numb. They never expected that Mu Chen would be so decisive. It looked like the latter really wanted to fall out with the Hundred Spirit King’s parents.

The black-robed elder was also shocked while holding that arm.

“Elder Lu, you go! Go! Call my parents over. I want this trash to suffer! I want to kill his entire family!” Holding onto his wound, the Hundred Spirit King roared with a vicious gaze.

Knitting his brows, Mu Chen pointed out with his finger and another arm of the Hundred Spirit King fell off.

“Bring two along.” Mu Chen tossed that other arm to the black-robed elder and smiled. However, his smile made the latter feel fearful.

Holding onto the two arms, the black-robed elder gritted his teeth and said to Mu Chen, “Lord, you’re in trouble, now! You will regret it!”

When he finished, he also did not dare to stay here and turned into a streak of light that soared into the sky, heading towards the Teleportation Spiritual Array.

When the black-robed elder left, the atmosphere in the hall became dense. Although the Hundred Spirit King’s arms were gone, he still viciously looked at Mu Chen, while waiting for the arrival of his parents.

At that time, he would undoubtedly rip the limbs of all Mu Chen’s relatives and torture them to death.

Despite the atmosphere in the hall, Mu Chen wasn’t too bothered. He turned to Mu Feng and smiled. “Pops, I brought someone back for you.”

At this moment, how would Mu Feng have the mood to think about that? Thus, he sourly replied, “I’m not interested, no matter who you bring.”

Hearing his words, Mu Chen’s expression became weird. It’s as if he was gloating.

While Mu Feng was curious about Mu Chen’s expression, a gentle snort resounded before he could even ask, “Oh? Not interested in me?”

Along with the voice, everyone could see a silhouette walking in, staring at Mu Feng.

Looking at that silhouette, Mu Feng’s eyes instantly widened as the cup in his hand slipped out and fell to the ground.
