Greatlaw Continent, Northern Region, Mu Abode's Main Hall
Experts were gathered in the hall. As the most powerful force in the Northern Region, the Mu Abode was undoubtedly the Overlord. Many forces in the Northern Region had submitted to them, and an endless flow of experts had joined them, causing the Mu Abode to grow stronger.
But at this moment, although the experts of the Mu Abode were gathered in the hall, the atmosphere was unusually pressuring.
Seated on the golden throne was Datura, who wore a black dress and looked petite. As the Administrator of the Mu Abode, Datura's prestige in the Northern Region had practically reached the pinnacle.
Ever since the Abode Ruler, Mu Chen, was established, he had left the Northern Region and had yet to return. Thus, the order was maintained by Datura.
This was also the reason why many forces in the Northern Region had only heard of Datura's name, but they had no idea about the mysterious Mu Chen.
In the direction of Mandala were Liu Tiandao, the Myriad Saint Ancestor, the Netherworld Palace Master, and the other old forces in the Northern Region. However, they were now part of the Mu Abode.
Below them were the other experts of the Mu Abode. Compared to the Great Heaven Domain in the past, it was more than a few times stronger.
Seated on the throne, Datura gently knocked on the armrest with a cold expression. She looked around and a brief moment later, she slowly said, "I've received news that the messenger of the Violet Cloud Sect will soon arrive at the Mu Abode."
The hall fell into silence. When the experts of the Mu Abode heard the words Violet Cloud Sect, their faces changed with fear.
The Greatlaw Continent was a supercontinent in the Great Thousand World, with a vast territory. According to the rough division, the Greatlaw Continent was split into five regions: North, South, East, West, West, and Central.
The Northern Region was an insignificant corner of the Northern Domain.
Although the Mu Abode had become the Overlord of the Northern Region, it could only be considered ordinary in the Northern Domain. On the other hand, the Violet Cloud Sect that Mandala spoke of was one of the three Overlord forces in the Northern Domain.
It was said that every single Elder in the Violet Cloud Sect possessed the strength of a Perfected Earth Sovereign. Their foundation could be said to be extremely robust.
Compared to them, the Mu Abode that relied on Datura alone was akin to a firefly.
The waters of the Greatlaw Continent were too deep. In the past, the Xia Dynasty and the Saint Demonic Palace might have some fame, but they were still lacking when compared to these veteran forces.
Thus, when the experts of the Mu Abode heard the name of the Violet Cloud Sect, they were shocked.
"What is the Violet Cloud Sect trying to do?" After a long while, Liu Tiandao asked with a solemn expression.
Datura sneered, "What else can I do?
They want our Mu Abode to become their vassal. The battle for the Overlord position of the Northern Domain is about to arrive, and the Violet Cloud Sect is clearly trying to gather some cannon fodder to help them fight with the other two Overlord forces. "
"In the past, the Northern Region was in a state of disunity, so it naturally couldn't enter the eyes of others. But now that the Northern Region has been unified by our Mu Abode, we're naturally being eyed by others."
When everyone heard that, their expressions became slightly unsightly. They'd just unified the Northern Region, and they hadn't even properly enjoyed that prestige when they were targeted by others in the end.
"The battle for the position of overlord of the Northern Region is incomparably cruel. That's the battlefield of the three hegemonic powers. Who knows how many powers like us will vanish into thin air in every battle. If we get involved, I'm afraid …" Patriarch Myriad Saint warned.
"But if we refuse, then we're not giving the Violet Cloud Sect any face. They're powerful, and our Mu Abode doesn't have the qualifications to refuse." The Sky Serpent Old Ghost sighed.
"But I still can't become cannon fodder for the Purple Cloud Sect!"
“”
Everyone in the hall started to quarrel. Evidently, the arrival of the messenger from the Violet Cloud Sect had caused everyone in the Mu Abode to feel anxious.
When Datura saw this scene, she knitted her brows. She initially only wanted to unify the Northern Region and strengthen the Mu Abode. But who could have expected that it would attract the Violet Cloud Sect over?
That was truly a huge problem.
"I wonder where the Abode Ruler is right now. He's not even here for such an important matter like the Mu Abode." As the quarrel continued, someone spoke out in dissatisfaction.
"Ever since I joined the Mu Abode, I've never seen the mysterious Abode Ruler. Everything in the Mu Abode has been managed by Lord Datura."
"The Abode Ruler seems to be extremely young, and he's only a Lesser Earth Sovereign. Even if he's back, it won't be of any help."
When Datura heard the topic that was gradually shifting, her face turned cold and she hollered, "Shut up!"
The entire hall fell into silence. Everyone had been suppressed by Datura's prestige to the point that they couldn't get angry.
Datura coldly swept her gaze over, which everyone avoided her gaze. A brief moment later, her expression suddenly changed and she looked out of the door. "Friends of the Violet Cloud Sect, since you're here, then show yourself."
"Haha, it's rumored that the Ruler of the Mu Abode has a unique appearance. Now that I've seen you, you're truly worthy of your reputation."
When Datura's voice resounded, a mocking laughter resounded outside the hall.
Hearing that voice, the faces of everyone in the hall changed with rage surging in their eyes. That person actually dared to mock Lord Datura!
A flash of rage also flashed in Datura's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. She coldly looked at the door and saw a spiritual light surging before three silhouettes strode in.
They were three purple-robed elders with a face as fair as a baby. He had a head full of white hair and was smiling with his eyes narrowed. He looked like a smiling tiger.
Two other elders followed behind him, and their expressions were arrogant and cold.
When they appeared in the hall, a boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuation swept out and the nearby experts of the Mu Abode were instantly blown away.
"Perfected Earth Sovereigns?!"
The faces of Liu Tiandao and the rest drastically changed. They never expected that the three envoys of the Violet Cloud Sect would all be in the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm. The strength of the Violet Cloud Sect was truly unfathomable.
"Impudent!"
Seeing how fearless the three of them were, a chill surged in Mandala's eyes and she threw a palm forth. A dark lustre surged and turned into a stream that pierced through space and slammed towards the white-haired old man.
When the white-haired elder saw this, he sneered and threw a punch. Purple light surged on his fist, making it look like a purple moon as it collided head-on with the incoming force.
Boom!
A violent Spiritual Energy shock wave swept out, causing the hall to tremble. The white-haired elder had also taken several steps back and Datura's petite figure trembled before she grabbed onto the armrest with cracks spreading out.
The fight between the two was clearly on par with each other.
"Haha, truly worthy of being the ancient Datura, your strength isn't ordinary. This old man, Zi Tianbei, pays his respects to the Mu Abode's Ruler." The white-haired elder swept a glance at Datura before he smiled with his eyes narrowed.
Without any expression on her face, Datura replied, "I'm not the Mu Abode's Ruler, I'm only managing it. Furthermore, why is someone from your Violet Cloud Sect here in the Northern Region?"
The white-haired elder smiled. "I believe that Abode Ruler Datura knows that the Overlord War of the Northern Domain is coming. So this old man has come under the orders of the Sect Master to invite the Mu Abode to join my Violet Cloud Sect. In the future, as long as my Violet Cloud Sect rules the Northern Domain, the Mu Abode will definitely be rewarded with a few territories in the Northern Region."
As he spoke, he retrieved a violet jade book with a spiritual lustre surging on it, vaguely emanating a dignified aura. Flicking his finger, the violet jade book shot towards Datura.
When Datura saw this, her face did not change. She waved her hand and a formless energy blocked the violet jade book and faintly said, "Our Mu Abode is weak, and I'm afraid that it's useless even if we join the Violet Cloud Sect. So find someone else."
The white-haired elder chuckled, "Abode Ruler Datura, no one dares to reject the invitation of my Violet Cloud Sect, so I hope that you can be cautious."
Although he had a smile on his face, his words were filled with a dense threat.
Datura's face was cold with rage surging in her eyes.
The white-haired elder casually said, "Furthermore, I'm afraid that I won't be in a good mood if we can't complete our mission today. At that time, I won't be responsible for any losses of the Mu Abode."
Although there were only three of them, all of them were Perfected Earth Sovereigns. As long as he obstructed Datura, the other two could make their move and get rid of all the experts of the Mu Abode.
Hearing his words, the faces of the experts of the Mu Abode changed with rage and fear in their eyes. They never expected that the Violet Cloud Sect would be so overbearing.
Mandala was also angered to the point that her petite figure trembled. She clenched her fists and stared at the white-haired old man. Her face changed, and in the end, the strength she used to stop him started to weaken.
That's because she truly couldn't obstruct the three of them.
"Haha, that's right. If you follow our Violet Cloud Sect, we won't treat you badly."
The white-haired elder chuckled before he waved his hand and the violet jade book slowly fell towards Datura.
Everyone in the hall looked at the descending jade book and their gazes turned dark. The actions of the Violet Cloud Sect had simply humiliated the Mu Abode.
Clenching her fists, Datura sighed and closed her eyes. She didn't want to look at the falling jade book.
However, just as the hall was engulfed in an oppressive silence and the purple jade book was about to fall, a hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the falling jade book.
"Who is it?" The white-haired elder's face changed as he spoke.
Space fluctuated in the hall and a youthful silhouette slowly appeared under everyone's astonished gazes. He held onto the violet jade book with his brows knitted together.
"Violet Cloud Sect?
You want my Mu Abode to be your subordinate? Are you guys even worthy? "
As he spoke, he exerted a little more force in his hand. The jade book that represented the Violet Cloud Sect was crushed into a cloud of purple powder with a bang under numerous astonished gazes.
Liu Tiandao and the rest, as well as Datura, had also opened their eyes and looked at that familiar silhouette in shock. Thereafter, exclamations resounded in the hall.
"Abode Ruler?!"
"Mu Chen?"
