Boom!
When Mo Yin and Hei Guang finished their words, the space around them collapsed with the two terrifying might causing the entire Great Thousand Pavilion to lightly tremble.
However, they knew their limits. They had only suppressed the power around them and did not destroy the entire Great Thousand Pavilion. After all, this was the territory of the Great Thousand Palace, and facing the Great Thousand Palace, even their Ancient Buddha Clan had to give face.
But even so, the pressure of two Heavenly Sovereigns was sufficient to scare a Perfected Earth Sovereign out of his wits.
"Then, I'll see if the two of you have the ability to snatch him from my hands!"
When Celestial Chi Yan saw how domineering the two of them were, rage surged in his heart and he sneered. A terrifying pressure rose around him as well. Scarlet Spiritual Energy was like boiling magma, causing the temperature in the Great Thousand Pavilion to rise.
He stood before Mu Chen, resisting the Heavenly Sovereign pressure from Mo Yin and Hei Guang.
When Mo Yin and Hei Guang saw that Celestial Chi Yan was determined to protect Mu Chen, their faces turned even darker. However, they did not show any signs of stopping, since they had already decided that no matter what, they had to capture Mu Chen today!
The Eight-Divisional Pagoda must not fall into his hands.
As thoughts flashed in their hearts, Mo Yin and Hei Guang exchanged a look. Shortly after, Hei Guang took a step forth and threw a palm in the direction of Celestial Chi Yan. That palm might seem casual, but there was a pitch-black Spiritual Energy violently compressing in his palm, forming into a head-sized black sun.
That black sun did not emit any light. Although it appeared small and exquisite, everyone could sense just what kind of frightening power was contained within that small black sun.
If that black sun was thrown out without any control, the entire Sacred Abyss City would be instantly turned into a bottomless crater.
The moment a Heavenly Sovereign made a move, he had displayed unimaginable destructive power.
When Celestial Chi Yan saw the black sun in Hei Guang's hand, he squinted his eyes and did not dare to delay. His face swiftly turned red as he opened his mouth and spewed out a flame that looked like flowing magma.
That flame constantly trembled, as if it would dissipate with a gust of wind. But when it appeared, everyone felt a terrifying heat being emitted, as if even space itself would be scorched by that heat.
They all knew that it was caused by Hei Guang and Celestial Chi Yan withdrawing their power. Otherwise, the area within ten thousand li would have turned into a boundless sea of flames.
Chi!
The black sun and the flame seedling clashed together, but there wasn't any terrifying explosion. However, everyone could see that the two of them were frantically corroding each other. Space was constantly shattering from the collision.
When Hei Guang and Celestial Chi Yan clashed, Mo Yin coldly looked at Mu Chen and eerily smiled before walking towards Mu Chen.
Celestial Chi Yan's face slightly changed. He was currently in an intense confrontation with Hei Guang, and if he retreated, Hei Guang would definitely take the initiative and suppress him instead.
"Isn't your Ancient Buddha Clan too overbearing?!
Are you trying to become enemies with my Ancient Spirit Clan?! "Celestial Chi Yan solemnly said.
Mo Yin's footsteps did not stop as he sneered, "Chi Yan, you're overestimating yourself. You still can't represent the Ancient Spirit Clan!"
As he spoke, his cold gaze was fixed onto Mu Chen, like a hawk staring at its prey. "This old man will see how a sinner like you can jump around today."
Xuan Luo and Mo Xin looked at this scene with joy in their eyes as they looked at Mu Chen with pity in their eyes. So what if you've obtained the Ancestor's acknowledgement? In the end, you still couldn't protect the Eight-Divisional Pagoda!
Mu Chen looked at Mo Yin, who was brimming with ominous aura, but there wasn't any fear on his face. That's because he knew that there wasn't any use for fear.
Stretching out his hand, he shielded Luo Li behind him, while a cold glint gathered in his black eyes.
If it was before entering the Primordial Sacred Abyss, he could only flee when facing a Heavenly Sovereign. But now, not only was he a Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign, he had also obtained two trump cards, the Black Dragon Army and Eight-Divisional Pagoda.
With these trump cards, if he really wanted to fight with his life on the line, Mo Yin might not be able to kill him so easily.
If that old dog wanted to force him, then he would let him know that if he wanted to treat him, Mu Chen, as a pushover, then he would have to be prepared to bleed.
"Matron He!"
But just when Mu Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light and was about to fight with Elder Mo Yin, Wen Qingxuan suddenly hollered.
Rustle!
A silhouette appeared before Mu Chen, donned in red, it was the Heavenly Sovereign of the Wen Clan, Matron He.
She stood before Mu Chen and coldly looked at Elder Mo Yin. As her sleeves fluttered, the sound of a surging river resounded from her body.
Elder Mo Yin finally stopped and his face was extremely dark as he stared at Matron He. "The Wen Clan wants to interfere in the matters of my Ancient Buddha Clan?"
Matron He raised her eyelids and faintly said, "Although my Wen Clan doesn't have a deep foundation like your Ancient Buddha Clan, we also know how to repay kindness. This brat has helped Qingxuan and the rest, so this old woman naturally can't watch as you old shameless people bully him."
Rage surged in Mo Yin's eyes, but he wasn't enraged. He took a deep breath and coldly looked at Mu Chen. "I never expected that there would be so many people protecting you."
Mu Chen stared at him without any expression with a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
"But it's a pity that no matter how many people protect you, it's useless!"
A ridiculing smile appeared on Mo Yin's face before he turned around and cupped his fists towards the outside of the Great Thousand Pavilion. "Ninth Elder, please make your move."
"Sigh …"
A sigh resounded outside the Great Thousand Pavilion and everyone saw a hunchbacked old man slowly walking in with a black staff in his hand.
He had a skinny face with pitch-black pupils. His slow silhouette seemed to have broken through space and appeared beside Mo Yin in a single step.
There wasn't any powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation around him, but when he appeared, the faces of Celestial Chi Yan and Matron He uncontrollably changed.
"The Ninth Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan, Mo You?!" Celestial Chi Yan solemnly said.
"Immortal Heavenly Sovereign?!"
Matron He of the Wen Clan squinted her eyes. The Ancient Buddha Clan actually sent out an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign to capture Mu Chen?
Even in the Ancient Buddha Clan, such a figure would be a great figure. But they actually personally came out to capture a Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign?
A commotion resounded in the Great Thousand Pavilion as all the Demon Slayers looked at Mu Chen in astonishment with pity in their eyes. That fellow was truly capable of causing trouble to attract so many Heavenly Sovereigns to make a move for him.
Mu Chen's gaze had turned dark at this moment. He never expected that Mo Yin and Hei Guang would be so cautious to the point that they even invited an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign to capture him!
"You're the sinful child?" The old man looked at Mu Chen and said without any ripples in his voice.
Mu Chen replied, "Looks like your Grand Elder's words aren't effective in the Ancient Buddha Clan."
From Qing Shuang, he already knew that his mother had an agreement with the Grand Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan. But with so many Heavenly Sovereigns coming out, they were clearly intending to disregard that agreement.
"Since it's an emergency, I believe the Grand Elder will understand."
The old man named Mo You continued, "As long as you hand over the Eight-Divisional Pagoda, I can let you go."
With an indifferent expression, Mu Chen slowly shook his head and a stone talisman appeared in his hand. It was something that Wu Zu had given him, and under the current situation, he could only use it.
Facing a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, he could still fight with all his trump cards. But if it was an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, he would have to bring out the Black Dragon Army to the pinnacle.
"Since you're so stubborn, then I can only bully the weak."
Seeing Mu Chen's refusal, Mo You sighed and gently stomped the black staff in his hand. A black halo flew out from the staff and sealed space. It was so much so that even the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth was confined in that region.
Mu Chen had also sensed the restriction and pursed his lips. Just when he was about to crush the talisman to summon the Martial Ancestor, Mu Chen felt the restriction as well.
Boom!
However, just as he was about to crush the Stone Shattering Talisman, a teacup suddenly shot across the sky and slammed into the halo, forcefully shattering it.
The sudden change had left Mo You stunned before he slowly raised his head and looked at the grey-robed old man walking out from the counter of the Great Thousand Pavilion.
He was the person-in-charge of this branch of the Great Thousand Palace.
"Isn't your Ancient Buddha Clan a little too much?" The grey-robed old man lazily said as he walked towards Mu Chen.
Knitting his brows, Mo You asked, "The Great Thousand Palace wants to interfere as well?"
Although the Ancient Buddha Clan was one of the Five Ancient Clans, the Great Thousand Palace also had a supreme position in the Great Thousand World, so they weren't afraid of their Ancient Buddha Clan.
"This is an internal matter of my clan, and I'm afraid that the Great Thousand Palace will be breaking the rules if they interfere."
Mo You slowly said. The Great Thousand Palace had a supreme position, but they had their own rules, and they would never interfere in the matters of other forces.
"I'm not the one breaking the rules, but you guys." The grey-robed old man shook his head.
As he spoke, he turned to look at Mu Chen with a peculiar gaze. In the end, he helplessly sighed and stretched his hand out. "Give me the Demon Slayer Token."
Mu Chen was briefly stunned, but he still took out the golden Demon Slayer Token and placed it in the grey-robed old man's hand.
The grey-robed old man held onto the Demon Slayer Token and smiled towards Mo You. "You want to touch the Demon Slayer King of my Great Thousand Palace in my Great Thousand Pavilion? Don't you think that you're breaking the rules?"
