The sudden scene had shocked everyone. When Datura, Liu Tiandao, and the rest exclaimed, everyone recovered from the shock. However, the first thing that everyone looked at was the shattered violet jade book in Mu Chen's hand.
That jade letter represented the Violet Cloud Sect. In all these years, there had never been a person who dared to not accept the Violet Cloud Sect's invitation, let alone shatter it in front of everyone. Once the jade letter was destroyed, it would be seen as disrespecting the Violet Cloud Sect, and from there, it would bring down a great calamity.
"He's the Abode Ruler of our Mu Abode?"
"Sigh, he's too young and couldn't keep his composure. Now that he shattered the jade book, he's in great trouble!" An expert of the Mu Abode said with a heartache.
"He's too impulsive!"
Many experts' faces turned dark. Although it felt great, the rage of the Violet Cloud Sect wasn't something that their Mu Abode could bear.
"Looks like we're in great trouble, and the Mu Abode is in danger. We have to leave a path of retreat."
An uproar broke out in the hall with the experts of the Mu Abode panicking. Evidently, they were startled by Mu Chen's bold actions. After all, not to mention the Violet Cloud Sect, just the three Perfected Earth Sovereigns alone were more than enough to make their Mu Abode suffer.
Liu Tiandao, the Netherworld Palace Master, and the other experts of the Mu Abode had their faces changed before they sighed and inwardly shook their heads. They knew that this matter wouldn't be easy to resolve.
While the hall was in an uproar, the three elders from the Violet Cloud Sect had also recovered their wits. When the white-haired elder saw that the jade book had been shattered, the smile on his face immediately disappeared as a chill surged within his eyes.
"Haha, very good. In all these years, this is the first time that this old man has seen someone shattering the jade book of my Violet Cloud Sect!" The white-haired old man's tone was eerie. His gaze was like a blade as he stared at Mu Chen.
"Then, there's one from now on."
Mu Chen faintly said as he shook off the powder on his hand. "I'll give you guys ten breaths of time to scram from the Mu Abode."
At the same time, his gaze swept through the panicking experts of the Mu Abode. Those that wanted to protect themselves were all remembered by him. At this moment of danger, there was no point for those that only cared about themselves to stay in the Mu Abode.
Upon hearing Mu Chen's words, the white haired old man trio were startled. Soon after, they laughed heartily towards the sky. Their laughter was like thunder, causing the entire hall to tremble.
Liu Tiandao and the rest exchanged a look. They had no idea why Mu Chen did not place the three Perfected Earth Sovereigns in his eyes.
They couldn't help but look at Datura, only to see that she didn't say anything and just stared at Mu Chen's back thoughtfully.
"I never expected that the Abode Ruler of the Mu Abode would be such a brat."
The old man shook his head in pity. "Since that's the case, then there's no need for the Mu Abode to exist."
Boom!
As his final word rang out, the robes around his body abruptly fluttered as boundless ocean-like Spiritual Energy swept out from his body without any restraint. The entire hall started to tremble, as if it was about to crumble apart.
"Let's start with you!"
The white-haired old man eerily smiled as he took a step forth. His silhouette had mysteriously appeared before Mu Chen and slapped his palm down, causing cracks to appear in the space beneath his palm, revealing the power contained in that palm.
When the experts of the Mu Abode saw that Zi Tianbei actually wanted to kill Mu Chen, they exclaimed. No matter what, he was the Abode Ruler, and if he died here, then there would be no need for the Mu Abode to exist anymore.
The faces of Liu Tiandao and the rest changed before they gritted their teeth and wanted to protect Mu Chen. However, they were stopped by Datura.
"Lord Datura!" They couldn't help calling out.
When a Perfected Earth Sovereign made a move, not to mention Mu Chen, even they would die.
Datura's face was cold as she looked at Mu Chen's silhouette. That's because she could sense a vague pressure the moment the latter appeared.
That pressure made her know that Mu Chen wasn't the same Mu Chen who left back then.
Boom!
Under the astonished gazes of everyone in the hall, the white-haired elder's palm descended. However, just when it was about to land on Mu Chen's chest, the latter gently raised his hand. As if he was swatting a fly, his palm lightly clashed with the white-haired elder's palm.
Boom!
A muffled sound resounded and everyone couldn't help closing their eyes. They didn't want to see the Mu Abode die.
But just when they were about to close their eyes, they suddenly saw a silhouette flying out in a pathetic state, leaving a long mark on the ground.
In the main hall, the atmosphere suddenly became strangely quiet.
Because all of them clearly saw that the one that was shot out in a sorry state was actually the Violetcloud Sect's Zi Tianbei!
Rustle!
Everyone looked at Mu Chen's direction with disbelief, but they saw the latter still maintaining his pose of gently patting with his feet still standing on the spot without moving.
The fist of the white-haired old man from before did not even move Mu Chen's body in the slightest. Instead, he was sent flying?
Poof!
Zi Tianbei's silhouette finally stabilised before he spewed a mouthful of blood and looked at Mu Chen with shock. When their palms came in contact, he could sense a terrifying power coming from Mu Chen's palm that even made him, a Perfected Earth Sovereign, feel fearful.
At this moment, how could he not know that Mu Chen was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!
"Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign?!" Zi Tianbei fixed his eyes on Mu Chen as he gnashed his teeth.
When they fought earlier, the Spiritual Energy fluctuation in Mu Chen's body had burst out. It was at the Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm, but he couldn't believe that Mu Chen could suppress him with his cultivation at the Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm.
Rustle!
When he spoke, everyone in the hall had shock written on their faces. Liu Tiandao and the rest had disbelief written on their faces. When Mu Chen left the Mu Abode, he was only a Lesser Earth Sovereign. But in just a year, he actually reached the Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm?!
Moreover, the most terrifying thing was how could he, a Half-step Great Perfection Realm expert, suppress a Great Perfection Realm expert like Zi Tianbei?
"This brat is weird, let's attack together!"
Zi Tianbei hollered. At this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that Mu Chen wasn't a pushover, and he alone wasn't Mu Chen's opponent.
The other two Perfected Earth Sovereigns of the Violet Cloud Sect nodded their heads with solemn expressions as they looked at Mu Chen with killing intent gathering in their eyes.
Rustle!
But before they could make a move, Mu Chen suddenly took a step forth and space distorted. His silhouette had appeared before the three of them.
"Bring out your Sovereign Celestial Bodies!"
The three of them narrowed their eyes as they unleashed a bark without any hesitation. Boundless spiritual light gathered behind them and they were about to bring out their Sovereign Celestial Bodies. That's because, at this moment, they could feel an intense sense of danger coming from Mu Chen.
But just when a massive silhouette appeared behind them, a crystallised palm flew over and penetrated their Spiritual Energy defences and gently patted against their chests.
Boom!
A muffled noise resounded once again, causing everyone's eyelids to violently twitch. Thereafter, they saw the silhouettes of the three of them being blown out and heavily slamming against the pillar in the palace.
Poof!
The three of them spewed mouthfuls of blood before they felt the Spiritual Energy in their bodies starting to dim down. They immediately lowered their heads and saw a crystallised palm imprint on their chests. As the crystallised Spiritual Energy poured into their bodies, the Spiritual Energy in their bodies would be suppressed and they could no longer control it.
It was as if they had been sealed.
In just a few breaths' time, the powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation around them had disappeared.
With the Spiritual Energy in their bodies sealed, the three of them finally had fear in their eyes. Mu Chen's means were too terrifying, and they never expected that they wouldn't even have the chance to bring out their Sovereign Celestial Bodies before him!
This wasn't something that a Perfected Earth Sovereign could achieve. Probably only those that had come in contact with the Heavenly Sovereign Realm could achieve it.
Just like the Sect Master of their Violet Cloud Sect.
Could it be that the Mu Abode's Ruler had also reached that step?!
"Quick, let's go!"
Their faces were ashen as they circulated the last bit of Spiritual Energy in their bodies and flew out of the hall. The strength that Mu Chen had displayed had truly made them feel fear.
Looking at their fleeing silhouettes, Mu Chen maintained an indifferent expression and did not make a move to stop them.
Boom!
However, when they charged out of the palace, a violent Spiritual Energy whistled outside the palace and everyone saw the silhouettes of Zi Tianbei and the other two being blown back in and heavily fell in the palace.
"The Young Master hasn't asked you guys to get lost, and you three old dogs dare to leave?"
A burst of laughter resounded from outside the hall and everyone saw two silhouettes walking in.
The one at the front was a beautiful lady donned in a white dress. Behind her was a robust man. At this moment, his fists were clasped together as he looked at Zi Tianbei's group of three with hostility. A powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation surged around him. Evidently, he was a genuine Perfected Earth Sovereign.
Evidently, it was this robust man that had sent the three of them flying.
At this moment, Mu Chen lowered his head and calmly looked at the three of them. "Did the three of you really think that my Mu Abode can come and go as you wish?"
The hall was silent and everyone was stunned as they looked at the three Perfected Earth Sovereigns, who were trembling before Mu Chen. There wasn't the slightest arrogance from before and they couldn't help feeling carefree and prideful in their hearts.
When everyone looked at Mu Chen, there wasn't any doubt in their eyes. Instead, it was replaced with blazing and revere.
Such boldness and means!
This was the true owner of their Mu Abode?
