"I admit defeat!"
When Liu Tiandao's roar resounded, the dragon-scale halo that was charging towards the former, along with a destructive force, suddenly trembled. When it was just a few feet away from Liu Tiandao, it suddenly shattered into sparkles of light that filled the sky.
As the sparkles of Spiritual Energy swept out, Liu Tiandao's silhouette was blown back in a pathetic manner. The Spiritual Energy Battle Armor on the surface of his body was also blown back.
Liu Tiandao's figure was blasted back a few thousand meters before he forcefully stopped himself. After that, he stood in midair in the distance while his expression changed indeterminately. In the end, he revealed a dejected expression and flashed back into the hall.
At this moment, the palace was silent as the Netherworld Palace Master and the rest exchanged a look with unconcealable shock in their eyes. This scene had clearly exceeded their expectations.
They had never underestimated Mu Chen and knew that the latter had many means up his sleeves. Thus, even if Liu Tiandao were to make a move, they didn't have any hopes of defeating Mu Chen. They only hoped that Liu Tiandao could display his strength, or at the very least, remain undefeated and slightly dampen Mu Chen's spirit. If that happened, the latter would naturally not have the face to sit on the throne.
But how could they have expected that Mu Chen had no intention of making a move. He had only laid out a Spiritual Array and had forced Liu Tiandao to admit defeat.
"That Mu Chen is actually so powerful?"
They muttered to themselves with bitterness in their hearts. A few years ago, Mu Chen was just an unremarkable little minion in the Great Heaven Domain. But a few years later, he could actually suppress them.
This rate of growth was truly a little horrifying. It was difficult to imagine just how far this young man would be able to go if he was given a little more time.
As thoughts circulated in their minds, Mu Chen chuckled as he looked at Liu Tiandao, whose face was changing, and said in a warm voice, "Old Liu, you don't have to worry about it. I managed to win by trickery. After all, if it's a battle of life and death, no one would sit and wait for a Spiritual Array Master to set up a Spiritual Array before making a move."
When Liu Tiandao saw that Mu Chen did not show the slightest bit of arrogance or mockery after winning against him, and instead took the initiative to give him face and a way out, his fluctuating old face also eased up. For the first time, he was somewhat convinced by Mu Chen.
The young man before him was a true Heaven's Chosen. He couldn't be judged by normal standards. Therefore, it wasn't completely unreasonable for him to lose to him.
Thus, he helplessly sighed, "The new generation surpasses the old. This time, this old man has overestimated himself. This old man is truly convinced by Little Brother Mu's ability."
Seeing that Liu Tiandao had admitted defeat, the Netherworld Palace Master and the rest exchanged a glance and sighed in their hearts. They knew that Mu Chen's ascension to the position was already unshakable.
But fortunately, Mu Chen's move had not only intimidated Liu Tiandao, it had also greatly shocked them. After all, their strength was similar to Liu Tiandao. Since Mu Chen could force Liu Tiandao to admit defeat, then the outcome wouldn't change even if they were to make a move.
In this world, strength was everything. Since Mu Chen could defeat them, then he had proven his qualifications.
When Datura, who had not interfered, saw this scene, she smiled and asked, "Since that's the case, then does anyone have any objections to my previous suggestion?"
Everyone fell into silence before they shook their heads in the end. If they continued to object at this moment, then they would only be asking to be humiliated.
Clap!
Datura clapped her hands and smiled. "Since that's the case, then I hereby announce that Mu Chen will become the ruler of the newly established force. In the future, we will all listen to him!"
Liu Tiandao, the Netherworld Palace Master, and the rest looked at Mu Chen and respectfully nodded their heads to express their obedience.
Liu Tiandao was extremely tactful as he looked at Mu Chen and Datura. "Since it's a newly established force, I wonder what it should be called?"
Judging from the looks of it, Datura clearly wanted to break the restrictions of the Northern Region Alliance. Since that's the case, then she wouldn't use the previous name. Otherwise, it would be hard for others to integrate into the past.
So since she wanted to change the past, then she would naturally have to abandon the past.
When Mu Chen heard her words, he looked at Datura and briefly pondered before he said, "We will be using the Ancient Haven Palace as our foundation in the future. Why don't we call it the Ancient Haven Palace?"
Evidently, he wanted to leave something for the Heavenly Emperor. After all, he had received a great favor from the Heavenly Emperor.
However, Datura gently shook her head. "The Heavenly Emperor has already said that the Ancient Haven Palace has already become history, and there's no need for it to exist. Let the fame of the past go with it."
Mu Chen was briefly stunned before he nodded his head. Mandala clearly had feelings for the Ancient Haven Palace, but things have changed, so it would only bring sorrow to the palace if it was named after the past.
"Then …" Mu Chen did not pay any attention to it and could only scratch his head.
Datura supported her cheeks with her hands and rolled her eyes before she clapped and smiled with her eyes narrowed. "I got it!
Since you're the leader of this new force, then we'll call it the Mu Abode!
Simple and practical! "
When Mu Chen heard her words, his forehead was instantly covered in sweat. It was truly simple and crude!
As for Liu Tiandao and the rest, they exchanged a look and briefly hesitated before asking, "Isn't that a little bad?"
This name was a little too unique, and the moment it was established, they would be branded with a distinct label, which naturally belonged to Mu Chen.
For them, who were used to being prideful, it was a little hard for them to accept.
Mandala's face turned cold when she heard them, and she said, "Could it be that the two of you still have other intentions?
If you're not willing, then feel free to leave. But don't regret it in the future. "
Seeing that Datura's tone had turned cold, the hearts of Liu Tiandao and the rest trembled before they gritted their teeth and shook their heads. "Since that's the case, then we'll call it the Mu Abode!"
At their level, if they wanted to improve themselves, then they would require a massive amount of resources. But even if they could become an overlord in the Northern Region, they could only guard their own territory in the Greatlaw Continent. The moment they left the Northern Region, they would have to be even more cautious. If they offended some top-tiered forces in the Greatlaw Continent, then it would be extremely troublesome.
In the Great Thousand World, if they wanted to have a smooth cultivation path, they would have to have a background that could save them a lot of trouble. Although the Mu Abode was newly established, it had potential. Datura was a genuine Perfected Earth Sovereign, and her strength could be ranked amongst the top in the Greatlaw Continent. Thus, it was sufficient to protect the Mu Abode's growth.
Furthermore, there was also the unfathomable Mu Chen. Although he was only a Lesser Earth Sovereign, he would definitely become a famous figure in the Great Thousand World as long as he didn't fall in the future.
At that time, the Mu Abode would probably become a supreme force in the Great Thousand World that wouldn't be inferior to the Endless Fire Territory or the Martial Realm.
Thus, after some consideration, Liu Tiandao and the rest had let go of the grudge in their hearts. They could tell that Datura was intending to establish a firm force for Mu Chen. Since that's the case, then she wouldn't allow them to treat the Northern Region Alliance as a stepping stone.
Since that's the case, then they would submit to the Mu Abode and see how far it could go.
Seeing that they had finally agreed to it, Datura nodded her head in satisfaction and said, "Since it's decided, then the Mu Abode will be officially established three days from now!
"Everyone here is a Senior Elder of the Mu Abode, and no matter how far the Mu Abode grows in the future, this is something that cannot be changed!"
Datura's words had reassured Liu Tiandao and the rest, confirming their position in the Mu Abode. Furthermore, it wouldn't change even if the Mu Abode grew stronger in the future.
Thus, Liu Tiandao and the rest stood up and solemnly bowed towards Mu Chen. Judging from their actions, they had already placed themselves in the position of a subordinate.
Mu Chen naturally did not dare to delay and returned the greeting with a grave expression.
After this matter was settled, Liu Tiandao and the rest bade their farewells and left. They still had to return to their respective sects to announce this news. It would definitely cause a commotion, but with their prestige, they could naturally suppress it.
Looking at Liu Tiandao and the rest leaving, Mu Chen felt heavily relieved before he helplessly smiled towards Datura. "You're more suitable for this position."
Datura stretched her waist and casually said, "There will be a day when you surpass me. At that time, the Mu Abode will be able to stand in the Great Thousand World with you."
With a bitter smile, Mu Chen said, "I might be annoyed to death before that day comes."
Just these matters today had already given him a headache, and he couldn't imagine how annoying it would be when he opened the Mu Abode in the future.
"Speaking of which, didn't you manage the matters of the Jiu You Palace? In the end, didn't the Jiu You Palace still grow stronger?" Datura rolled her eyes as she mocked.
Mu Chen had an awkward expression on his face. The matters of the Jiu You Palace were all under the control of Tang Bing, and he practically did not interfere. However, he understood Datura's meaning. He only had to be a hands-off boss, and the rest would be handled by others.
Thinking about this, he felt more relieved. Thereafter, his expression turned grave and urgent as he stared at Datura. Taking a deep breath, his voice was slightly trembling.
"Then, can you tell me about Luo Li now?"
