There was not a sound in the main hall. Qin Beixuan and his three friends broke out into cold sweats and looked pale. Apparently, they were frightened.

As long as a Divine Ancestral Master triggered her thoughts, she could easily trap them in a spiritual array and kill them! This was the difference between a Divine Heavenly Sovereign and a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign.

This was likened unto the emperor of a small country versus the emperor of a supreme country. Although both of them were emperors, the moment the latter made a decision to act against the former, he could destroy him easily.

The First Elder of the Budur Ancient Clan? The leaders of the forces and the higher echelons of the Northern Spiritual Alliance looked at Qing Yanjing in amazement. As they were of a different level, they seldom had dealings with such a supreme power like the Budur Ancient Clan.

To them, a top force who had a Heavenly Sovereign on their team was already far too high for them to reach. As for the ancient clans who were the supreme powers, they were so high that these higher echelons had not even heard of them!

Although they had no idea what the First Elder of the Budur Ancient Clan represented, from the terrified looks of the four Heavenly Sovereigns, they felt that Qing Yanjing must be someone with great power.

Previously, when Mu Chen had displayed his amazing combat force, the four of them were only wary of him and were not as frightened. But, from the looks of it, Qing Yanjing was far more powerful than Mu Chen!

Gulp.

Many leaders of the forces swallowed hard. They looked at Qing Yanjing with fear and great respect.

At this moment, they realized that Mu Chen was not the most powerful person in the main hall, but it was this lady, who was amicable and smiling warmly at them.

Everyone had thought that she was just an ordinary lady. After all, as compared to Mu Chen’s tough look, Qing Yanjing seemed quite reserved.

The higher echelons, who were still chatting happily with Qing Yanjing earlier, broke out into cold sweats. It had never crossed their minds that they were chatting with such a powerful being earlier! It made their hearts jump with fear to even think of it!

“Well, it looks like my wife is more powerful than my son!” Mu Feng said as he looked at Mu Chen with a smile. Other than Mu Chen, he was the only other one who had remained calm in the main hall.

When Mu Chen heard what Mu Feng had said, he rolled his eyes.

When Lord Hundred Spirit saw what had happened, he was thunderstruck. He looked pale and shouted, “Father, you must avenge me! You must not let them off!”

He had never expected the reinforcement that he had been waiting for to behave so lowly before Mu Chen. He had expected Mu Chen and his family to kneel down before him. Everything had always gone his way, and when he saw that this was contrary to what he had in mind, he became furious and irrational.

“Shut up, unfilial son!” Qin Beixuan turned pale and waved his sleeve.

He then slapped Lord Hundred Spirit on his face through the void. Lord Hundred Spirit hit the wall, as the force was too great.

Qin Beixuan stared at him and asked, “Have you not created enough trouble?”

Qin Beixuan was terrified. If his friend had not discovered Mu Chen’s background earlier and they had gotten into a fight with him, Qing Yanjing would be enraged. Moreover, since she was a Divine Ancestral Master, if she was provoked, she would destroy his Beixuan Clan!

As he was a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign, Qin Beixuan knew the horrifying power of a Divine Ancestral Master. He was also aware of the strong base that the Budur Ancient Clan possessed. When he thought of the dire situation that Lord Hundred Spirit had nearly gotten the entire clan into, he was filled with fear and anger.

Lord Hundred Spirit’s face became swollen, while he looked blankly at Qin Beixuan. He came to his senses after he felt the pain in his face, which only made him more afraid.

At this moment, he finally realized that his father had wanted to avenge him, but his enemy was too powerful, so even his father was afraid! The youth and the elegant lady were clearly too powerful to be trifled with.

At this instant, Lord Hundred Spirit had nothing to back him up. When he saw Mu Chen’s cold look, he suddenly became fearful and started to shiver.

“Beixuan! What are you doing?” Liu Baihua shouted angrily as she darted into the main hall. She saw Qin Beixuan slapping Lord Hundred Spirit and felt sorry for her son, as he was precious to her.

“Shut up!” The moment she spoke, Qin Beixuan looked at her sharply and said, “If you do not want to see my Beixuan Clan and your Baihua Clan being destroyed, open your eyes and come to your senses!”

Liu Baihua suddenly shivered and was a little fearful when she looked at Qing Yanjing. She had felt the horrifying oppression that Qing Yanjing had exuded, even at this distance! In the face of such a great oppression, she dared not say another word, even though she felt sorry for her son.

When the leaders of the forces saw what had happened, they all sighed. Lord Hundred Spirit had lost the fight. No one had expected that the Chieftain of the Northern Spiritual Alliance would have such a powerful background.

His wife was the First Elder of the Budur Ancient Clan, and his son was a Heavenly Sovereign who had suppressed Qin Beixuan. After Qin Beixuan had stopped his wife and his son from creating further trouble, he turned to Qing Yanjing and cupped his fist respectfully.

He then asked, “My son is in the wrong… May I know how you intend to punish him?”

Qing Yanjing raised her eyebrows and did not seem interested in dealing with the matter. She shook her head and replied, “My son has the final say. You can ask him.”

Mu Chen, who was standing by the side, glanced at Qin Beixuan and said calmly, “Clan Leader Qin, Lord Hundred Spirit has been abusing his power and suppressing the people, while you have been backing him up. The others could only swallow it and take it as their misfortune, but since he has treated my family badly today, you can count yourself as being very unlucky to have met us!”

Qin Beixuan smiled bitterly and nodded, understanding his words. Previously, they had protected Lord Hundred Spirit when he had oppressed the people. Thus, he had always come out of everything unscathed. Now that he had stepped on the toes of such powerful people, he had to pay a price for it.

“I will leave it to the Mu Estate Master to decide the punishment for my son.” Since Qin Beixuan was unable to contend with Mu Chen, he had to appear to be submissive.

“You are a smart person.” Mu Chen smiled upon seeing that Qin Beixuan was humble enough to lower himself. As such, he had proven himself to be worthy of being a Clan Leader.

“From now on, the Hundred Spirit Continent will no longer be under the rule of your Beixuan Clan. The Northern Spiritual Alliance will take over from you.” When Mu Chen made this statement, there was an uproar in the main hall.

The leaders of the forces in the Hundred Spirit Continent were all shocked. When this happened, Mu Feng would be the lord that they had to obey!

Some of the leaders did not feel comfortable about this, as the Northern Spiritual Alliance was considered only a middle-rank force in the Hundred Spirit Continent. Yet, they had to subject themselves to it regardless.

When Mu Chen looked at them, they shivered and secretly rebuked themselves for being foolish. After all, the Chieftain of the Northern Spiritual Alliance had such a powerful wife and son, so no one had the audacity to look down on him.

When Qin Beixuan heard this, he hesitated for a while, then grit his teeth and said, “Okay. Our Beixuan Clan will hand the Hundred Spirit Continent over to you. I hope that this will appease the both of you.”

Although their Beixuan Clan would be affected after handing over the Hundred Spirit Continent to the Northern Spiritual Alliance, it was still within their acceptable range of concessions.

“One more thing… Your son has hurt my family and has behaved ruthlessly. I should have killed him, but I am letting him off for your sake,” Mu Chen said flatly.

Qin Beixuan heaved a sigh of relief, but then immediately heard Mu Chen say, “He can escape death, but he still has to be punished.”

After Mu Chen said that, an ancient Crystal Pagoda shot up into the sky and hung above Lord Hundred Spirit’s head, inflicting fear upon him.

Buzz! Buzz!

Light burst out from the Crystal Pagoda and shone on Lord Hundred Spirit. The light then turned into crystal-like runes on his body. These runes were like chains, piercing into his flesh.

As the crystal runes formed on his body, Lord Hundred Spirit was shocked to find that his spiritual energy had suddenly disappeared. After that, he no longer felt any spiritual energy in his body.

“I have sealed his spiritual energy for 50 years,” Mu Chen said coldly.

Lord Hundred Spirit was thunderstruck by what Mu Chen had said, and he turned pale instantly.

“You!” Liu Baihua grit her teeth when she saw what Mu Chen had done. She was furious.

“And you!” Mu Chen looked coldly at Liu Baihua, then said, “I will not let you off either, as you have humiliated my family!”

Mu Chen was angry with this obnoxious woman. Apparently, she was the one who had caused Lord Hundred Spirit to behave so recklessly. She had humiliated his father earlier, and she was cruel with her words. Mu Chen could not let such a woman off.

Swoosh!

After Mu Chen said that, the Crystal Pagoda pierced through the void and appeared above Liu Baihua. As the light burst out from the Crystal Pagoda, it covered Liu Baihua up entirely.

Liu Baihua was shocked and immediately activated her spiritual energy to fend off the light. However, when her spiritual energy came into contact with the crystal light, it immediately dispersed.

Within a short while, the crystal light had formed runes on her body as well. The spiritual energy fluctuations around Liu Baihua weakened speedily at this instant.

Given Mu Chen’s current strength, he was still unable to completely seal off the spiritual energy of a Heavenly Spiritual, but he could weaken it. Liu Baihua’s strength was now comparable to an Upper Earthly Sovereign’s.

“This seal will last for 20 years. After 20 years, it will disappear,” Mu Chen said.

Liu Baihua turned pale. She was a prestigious Heavenly Sovereign, but she had suddenly been downgraded to an Upper Earthly Sovereign! This was a great blow to her.

Not a sound was heard in the main hall, as everyone was shocked by what Mu Chen had just done. He had effortlessly sealed up the spiritual energy of Lord Hundred Spirit and Liu Baihua, which showed how powerful he was!

After Mu Chen was done with this, he looked at Qin Beixuan and asked, “Clan Leader Qin, do you have any objection to what I have done?”

Qin Beixuan had a bitter look on his face as he shook his head. He knew that Mu Chen had already been merciful to Lord Hundred Spirit and Liu Baihua.

In The Great Thousand World, a Divine Heavenly Sovereign could easily destroy the heavens and the earth. If Qing Yanjing was enraged, their Beixuan Clan and Baihua Clan would not be able to escape from her hands. Now that Mu Chen had only sealed up the spiritual energy of Lord Hundred Spirit and Liu Baihua, it was better than having their clans destroyed.

“In this case, we will forget what has happened today. I hope that you will behave yourselves in the future. If anything should happen to the Northern Spiritual Alliance, you can rest assured that I will look for you,” Mu Chen said calmly.

He would not stay in the Hundred Spirit Continent. Hence, he wanted to make it clear that if he and Qing Yanjing were not around and Qin Beixuan decided to seek revenge, the Northern Spiritual Alliance would not be able to take him on.

Qin Beixuan knew what Mu Chen meant, and he immediately nodded and smiled wryly. After seeing the power of Mu Chen and Qing Yanjing, he would not even dare to think of seeking revenge.

“In that case, we will make a move first.” Qin Beixuan waved his sleeve and used his spiritual energy to cover Lord Hundred Spirit and Liu Baihua. He then cupped his fist at Mu Chen and Qing Yanjing, then left with his three friends.

After Qin Beixuan and his company had left, the horrifying oppression in the area dissipated. However, as the leaders of the forces looked at the mess in the main hall, they knew that after this day, the Hundred Spirit Continent would be ruled under a different force.

Thus, they had to prepare their gifts for the Northern Spiritual Alliance…
