In the Great Thousand Pavilion, Mu Chen was shocked as he looked at the gorgeous woman. At this moment, he realised that the latter was indeed similar to his mother.
This caused extremely complicated emotions to surge in his heart. If this was really the case, then wouldn't he have to address the beautiful woman in palace attire as' Aunt '?
"Young Master, Elder Qing Xuan is indeed from the Qing Bloodline, and she has some blood relations with you."
Long Xiang said in a soft voice. After all, he was someone from the Ancient Buddha Clan. Although he was exiled, he still had some understanding of the Ancient Buddha Clan's situation.
"But …" As he spoke, Long Xiang briefly paused before he continued, "But there are some cracks between Master and the Qing Bloodline …"
Although Long Xiang did not make it too clear, Mu Chen knew that those cracks might be related to him, which calmed his emotions down. It looked like he couldn't have any wild thoughts, regardless of whether this gorgeous woman was really the sister of his mother or not.
Thinking of this, his eyes gradually calmed down and became indifferent.
It was also at this moment that he sensed the gorgeous woman looking over, so he raised his head and exchanged a glance with her before he calmly retracted his gaze.
The gorgeous woman examined Mu Chen, and when her gaze fell onto the latter's face, her cold gaze softened a little. That's because Mu Chen had the shadow of his mother on his face.
But when she saw Mu Chen's calm gaze, the depths of her eyes dimmed for a brief moment before she returned to her cold expression and looked at the silver-robed and Elder Hei Guang. "I'm only reminding you of the Grand Elder's rules. If you guys want to go against it, then I will not stop you. But if anything happens, then you guys will have to bear the consequences."
Hearing her words, the silver-robed and Elder Hei Guang's faces changed. They naturally knew what trouble Elder Qing Xuan was talking about. The rule that forbade Heavenly Sovereigns from making a move was said to have appeared after the Grand Elder fought with Qing Yanjing.
It was said that Qing Yanjing's attainments in Spiritual Arrays had reached a terrifying height.
With the foundation of the Ancient Buddha Clan, it's naturally possible for them to deal with Qing Yanjing. But they would also have to pay a price, and it wasn't an easy price to bear.
Thinking about this, the Silver Robe Elder and Elder Hei Guang exchanged a glance and felt depressed. The sinful child of the Ancient Buddha Clan was right before their eyes, but they could only watch without being able to make a move, which made them feel unhappy.
But in the end, the two of them could only snort as they coldly looked at Mu Chen. "Consider yourself lucky this time, but I advise you to surrender yourself to the Ancient Buddha Clan so that your mother doesn't have to suffer!"
A cold light flashed in Mu Chen's eyes as he fearlessly looked at the two Heavenly Sovereigns of the Ancient Buddha Clan and sneered, "Don't worry, I will make a trip to the Ancient Buddha Clan sooner or later. But I will not surrender myself, but to fetch my mother. At that time, if you guys want to obstruct me, then I will flip your Ancient Buddha Clan upside down!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire area seemed to abruptly fall silent.
Everyone widened their eyes as they looked at Mu Chen. They never expected that a Greater Earth Sovereign would be so courageous to speak to one of the Five Ancient Clans, the Ancient Buddha Clan.
His words were akin to an ant trying to shake a tree.
"What an arrogant tone that brat has."
In the direction of the Wen Clan, Matron He flung her lips aside. One must know that even their Wen Clan would be fearful when facing an ancient clan like the Ancient Buddha Clan. But this brat was only a Greater Earth Sovereign, an ant before the Ancient Buddha Clan.
But Wen Qingxuan pursed her lips as she looked at Mu Chen with a peculiar gaze. "Aunt He, did you know that when Mu Chen was in Hokuang Reiwon, he had yet to break through to the Sovereign Realm? But now … he has already reached the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm."
"Perhaps a Greater Earth Sovereign is nothing in your eyes. It's so much so that there's a gap between him and the geniuses nurtured by our Wen Clan, not to mention those Young Masters of the Ancient Buddha Clan … But according to what I know, he does not have the support of any supreme force behind him, nor does he have any resources that he can easily obtain. Everything that he has has depended on himself."
"I believe that no matter if it's the geniuses of our Wen Clan or the Ancient Buddha Clan, I'm afraid that they won't be able to achieve this."
"So don't underestimate him. Otherwise, you will regret it in the future."
"Oh?"
Hearing Wen Qingxuan's words, Matron He of the Wen Clan went silent for a brief moment. If Wen Qingxuan's words were true, then this Mu Chen before her was truly a shocking seedling.
Who knows, he might really have the chance to reach the Heavenly Sovereign Realm in the future.
"Haha, good brat, you're truly courageous. I like it!"
Celestial Chi Yan was the first to laugh as he patted Mu Chen's shoulder. "If it wasn't for the fact that you have the bloodline of the Ancient Buddha Clan, I would have tried my best to pull you into the Ancient Spirit Clan, haha!"
"Hmph, shameless boasting!" The silver-robed Elder had ridicule and disdain on his face.
The geniuses of the Ancient Buddha Clan also looked at Mu Chen with ridicule. After all, a puny Greater Earth Sovereign actually wanted to flip their Ancient Buddha Clan upside down. He was simply too ignorant.
Mu Chen's expression gradually calmed down. He did not argue with the silver-robed Elder and took half a step back with an indifferent expression.
The future would be decided by the facts. Too many words would only make others feel that it's a joke.
Right now, he was no longer the weak youth that needed to hide from the shadow of the Ancient Buddha Clan. His wings had grown, and even if the Ancient Buddha Clan sent out a Heavenly Sovereign, he still had means to deal with them. So facing the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Ancient Buddha Clan, he naturally didn't need to be afraid.
"Senior Chi Yan, let us go." Mu Chen said as he turned towards Celestial Chi Yan.
Celestial Chi Yan nodded his head with his eyes narrowed with a smile before he left the Great Thousand Pavilion, with Mu Chen and Luo Li following behind him.
When Mu Chen's footsteps brushed past Elder Qing Xuan, he slightly paused. However, he did not stop and continued to stride over.
In Mu Chen's view, the so-called blood relationship was just a stranger. He also did not desire such help, since he had already gotten used to being alone all these years.
The gorgeous woman looked at Mu Chen's silhouette as a smear of complexity flashed across her eyes. She couldn't help clenching her fists in her sleeves as she bitterly smiled in her heart. "Little Sister, this child of yours is truly as stubborn as you …"
"Hmph, you're truly a bastard that has no one to teach you. You're arrogant and do not know the immensity of the heavens and earth!"
After Mu Chen left, the silver-robed Elder was still enraged as he spoke in a dark voice. Clearly, he was greatly angered by Mu Chen.
"Elder Mo Yin, you better clean your mouth. As an Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan, there's no glory in bullying a junior. If you have the guts, go and say those words before my Little Sister!" Elder Qing Xuan's brows knitted together as she hollered.
When Elder Mo Yin heard her words, he was stunned. Even the Grand Elder had suffered before Qing Yanjing, so if he dared to say those words before her, even the Grand Elder wouldn't be able to protect him.
The elders knew very well how terrifying that woman could be when she was protective of her own child.
Elder Mo Yin's face alternated between green and white as he raged, "Are we going to let that sinner escape from under our eyes?"
"Haha, what are you talking about, Elder Mo Yin?"
A gentle laughter resounded from the side. It was the azure-clothed man standing behind Elder Hei Guang.
"The Grand Elder's rules only forbid Heavenly Sovereigns from making a move against him, not Perfected Earth Sovereigns."
The azure-clothed man lightly smiled. "A puny Greater Earth Sovereign is too naive to think that he can escape under our noses."
"Elders, please be reassured. Xuan Luo guarantees that when we leave the Sacred Abyss Continent, we will bring that sinner back for the Grand Elder to deal with." The azure-clothed man's voice was gentle, but there weren't any fluctuations in his tone.
"Since that's the case, then let's see who can capture that sinner first."
At the same time, the black-robed man standing behind Elder Mo Yin spoke out with an indifferent tone.
Xuan Luo shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "Since Mo Xin wants to compete with me, then let's give it a try. Let's see who will capture that sinner."
The two of them spoke casually, since they clearly did not place Mu Chen in their eyes. On the contrary, they treated him as prey.
When Elder Mo Yin and Elder Hei Guang saw this, they slowly nodded their heads. If Xuan Luo and Mo Xin were to make a move, then that sinner wouldn't be able to escape.
When Elder Qing Xuan saw this, her heart sank. Xuan Luo and Mo Xin were the most outstanding elites amongst the younger generations of the Ancient Buddha Clan. If the two of them made a move against Mu Chen, then Mu Chen would definitely be doomed.
(I'm finally done. I'll resume tomorrow.)
