The Great Ruler

After a sudden sound rang out, a death-like silence filled the whole hall. All of the leaders’ eyes widened and they breathed faintly, for they could not imagine that such insolent words had just been directed at the Lord Hundred Spirit!

Someone had actually dared to call him an imbecile! At the thought of the Lord Hundred Spirit’s anger, the leaders of all of the forces present were shuddering. It was conceivable that blood would be spilled in today’s hall.

Amid the stillness of the atmosphere, everyone glanced towards Tang Qian’Er’s back, as if they were looking at a dead man. At this time, Tang Qian’Er was stunned by the palm that suddenly came out behind her and covered her mouth. She almost punched the figure reflexively, but when she heard that sentence, her blood seemed to freeze in an instant.

She was quite familiar with that voice. As a result, she turned around slowly and was met by a handsome face with a gentle smile. Compared to how he looked before, his face had become more mature, but it also gave one an inexplicable sense of security.

“Mu… Mu Chen?” Tang Qian’Er, stared dumbfounded at the handsome young man in front of her, and she could not help murmuring his name. She seemed to feel that this was too good to be true, so she reached out with her hand and touched his face gently.

Feeling the warm heat of his skin, her eyes widened in shock and she exclaimed, “It’s really you! What are you doing here?”

Mu Chen smiled and said, “I came back to visit my family.”

He patted Tang Qian’Er’s hand, then took a step forward. He chuckled at the stunned Mu Feng and the others as he teased them, saying, “Dad, haven’t you stared long enough?”

Mu Feng continued to stare at Mu Chen, as his eyes wide seemed frozen. Mu Chen had been away from the Northern Spiritual Realm for so many years, and he had missed his precious son dearly. Thus, when Mu Chen suddenly appeared, he was shocked.

“You brat, you are finally willing to come back?” After a long time, Mu Feng returned to his senses and spoke in a rage.

Mu Chen grinned and sat down beside Mu Feng, patted him on the back, then said, “Don’t be mad, dad.”

His gaze then landed on a trace of blood that was at the corners of Mu Feng’s mouth, and although his smile remained brilliant and gentle, a tingling chill flashed in his dark eyes.

As Mu Feng looked at the now mature face of his son, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. Immediately, he seemed to recall something, and his face twisted. He got up hurriedly and bowed to Lord Hundred Spirit. “My Lord, please pardon my son. He doesn’t know the situation and was insolent…”

Mu Feng had apparently heard Mu Chen’s words. He knew that Lord Hundred Spirit was a petty and vicious man, and now that Mu Chen had humiliated him, he would be enraged and look to find ways to retaliate.

“Hahahahaha!” Before Mu Feng could even finish speaking, Lord Hundred Spirit cackled from his throne. His laughter reverberated in the hall, filled with fury and murderous intent.

Mu Feng’s face twisted as he stretched out his palm and pushed Mu Chen behind him. He was determined that, even if he died here today, he would save Mu Chen. Tang Qian’Er also took a quick step forward and blocked Mu Chen, while she stared warily at Lord Hundred Spirit.

In the hall, the leaders of the other forces were all staring at Mu Chen with pity. They had all infuriated Lord Hundred Spirit, so it was likely that none of the people of the Northern Spiritual Alliance would be able to leave the hall alive.

“That boy is a poignant example of someone who is screwing his father over. Now, the Northern Spiritual Alliance will see bloodshed,” an onlooker said, while shaking his head in disgust.

Some of the other people muttered amongst themselves, as they were pleased to see the Northern Spiritual Alliance destroyed because that meant that they could intervene in the Northern Spiritual Realm.

Lord Hundred Spirit’s laughter lasted for a long time. The, he rubbed his eyes, as if he was tearing up, and said, “Someone actually called me an imbecile.”

He shook his head, and then, with a smile, stretched out his hand and waved it gently. He then smirked maliciously as he ordered, “First, break his limbs and throw them out!”

The black-robed old man beside him, who was a Complete Earthly Sovereign, nodded coldly and stepped forward slowly. Looking like a viper, he stared at Mu Chen from afar. Seeing this, Mu Feng felt his heart grow cold and anxiety surged in his eyes.

Tang Qian’Er grit her teeth and clenched her fists, while a Phoenix-like jade appeared in her palm. If she crushed it, she could immediately usher them away and escape.

In the face of a Complete Earthly Sovereign, she felt the infinite pressure intensely. However, just as she was about to crush it, a palm stretched out and stopped her.

Tang Qian’Er turned her head around to look at Mu Chen, then said anxiously, “Don’t be silly and force yourself. There’s no need to fight him here!”

She thought that Mu Chen was young and brash and would not take this lying down. Mu Chen was stunned, and he immediately shook his head with a smile and said, “Sister Qian’Er, rest assured, I know what I’m doing.”

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the old man in the black robes, who was approaching him slowly. The latter was full of vast spiritual power and a terrifying spiritual oppression, which permeated the hall. He obviously wanted to torment Mu Chen and cause him to feel immense fear.

“Were you the one who hurt my father earlier?” Mu Chen asked, while he stared at the black-robed old man and frowned.

The black-robed old man looked at Mu Chen as if he was a mere ant. Then, an ugly smile appeared on his face as he sneered and said, “Rest assured, I’ll make you and your father experience a fate worse than death!”

Mu Chen smiled as a cold glint flashed in his dark eyes. He then slowly stretched out his palm and clenched it gently.

Boom!

It seemed as if there was an invisible hand that gripped the black-robed old man at that moment. A vast power exploded in a flash, and before the old man could react, he felt an irresistible force snatch him up and smash him on the ground violently.

Rumble!

The whole hall shook, while everyone stared at the scene, completely dumbfounded. This was because the black-robed, who was arrogant and acting as if he could control life and death mere moments ago, was now kneeling in front of Mu Feng. Moreover, the stone slabs at his knees were cracking…

Upon seeing this, everyone paled, as if they had seen a ghost, and they were bewildered as to why the Complete Earthly Sovereign had suddenly knelt down in front of Mu Feng. Only those with sharp eyes could tell that the black-robed old man was startled and was frantically struggling not to kneel. However, it seemed as if there was a terrible force that suppressed him so much that he could not move at all!

“Apologize to my father!” Mu Chen demanded, while he stared at the old man coldly.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the old man kowtowed suddenly, and as his head fell heavily on the ground, the whole ground collapsed.

“Ah!” The black-robed old man screamed in agony as blood flowed down his head and he struggled madly.

“Still not apologizing?” Mu Chen frowned and raised his palm again before bringing it down forcefully.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the hall, the leaders all gazed at the powerful Sovereign being manipulated like a doll in Mu Chen’s hands. With a single wave of Mu Chen’s hand, the old man’s head smashed onto the ground brutally, cracking the stone slabs.

The whole hall was silent, and only the sound of the Complete Earthly Sovereign’s head hitting the ground could be heard. A chill ran down all of their backs, while cold sweat dripped down their heads.

They looked at Mu Chen, who smiled gently as he was effortlessly throwing the Complete Earthly Sovereign around like a sandbag. They finally understood how horrifying this young man was!

Bang!

As blood trickled down the black-robed old man’s head profusely, his heart was filled with boundless fear. At last, he could feel the horror of the power that imprisoned him, and he was like an ant before it. At this time, he realized that this seemingly gentle young man was a true Heavenly Sovereign!

“My Lord! I was wrong! I apologize!” At such a time, the black-robed old man no longer dared to fight against Mu Chen. He was startled, knowing that it was effortless for a Heavenly Sovereign to kill him. Hence, he no longer resisted, and his sharp voice, which was thick with fear, rang out in the hall.

As the black-robed old man shrieked in fear and pain, Mu Chen finally stopped. He then said coldly, “You wouldn’t have to suffer so much if you had apologized earlier. Now scram!”

After he spoke, he dealt out a punch, and the air in front of him seemed to explode. The black-robed old man was hit hard, and his whole chest collapsed. His body then flew out, ploughing a deep trace in the hall before it finally bumped into a stone pillar.

He could feel that the spiritual energy in his body had been completely shattered by Mu Chen’s blow. Even his meridians had broken apart, and although Mu Chen had spared his life, all of his cultivation had been for naught!

Throughout the hall, there was a dead silence, and everyone seemed to have stopped breathing. All of the leaders trembled upon seeing a Complete Earthly Sovereign, who was powerful enough to dominate the Hundred Spirit Continent, behaving like a powerless doll at the hands of the young man. He could not resist at all!

All of the leaders lamented in their hearts and wondered… Is this young man really Mu Feng’s son?

They all thought that he would just be a fledgling, who did not know what was good for him. They had not expected him to turn out to be a hidden horror!

After dealing with the black-robed old man, Mu Chen gazed calmly at the shocked Lord Hundred Spirit, his face filled with rage. He then smiled and said seriously, “In my eyes, you’re truly an imbecile.”
