Recently, the atmosphere in the Northern Region was a little fiery, and it was due to the appearance of the mysterious Abode Ruler, Mu Chen, as well as his ambition for the Mu Abode to become one of the Overlords of the Northern Domain.
Facing Mu Chen's ambition, the entire Northern Region was in an uproar, which caused an intense debate that caused the Northern Region to be in a fiery state.
In a city in the Northern Region.
In a restaurant in the city, the fiery atmosphere in the entire Northern Region was also present, and it was even more intense and direct.
In the entire restaurant, the topic of debate was also regarding the Mu Abode's attempt to become the Overlord of the Northern Domain.
"Hmph, in my opinion, our Abode Ruler is a little too arrogant. The Northern Domain is vast, and it's unimaginable. Although the Mu Abode is the Overlord of the Northern Region, in terms of strength, it can only be considered average in the Northern Domain. If they really want to compete with the other three, the Mu Abode will definitely lose!"
"At that time, the Violet Cloud Sect, Thunder Note Mountain, and Golden Eagle Mansion will be enraged. I'm afraid that our Northern Region will be bathed in blood!"
"Ptooey, although our Abode Ruler is young, he's a genius. Some time ago, the three Elders of the Violet Cloud Sect wanted to flaunt their might in the Mu Abode with their strength at the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm, but they were easily dealt with by our Abode Ruler. In my opinion, our Abode Ruler's strength isn't any weaker than the Violet Cloud Lord, Venerable Thunder Note, and Golden Eagle Emperor!"
"That's right. With the Abode Ruler's capability, there's no need for our Mu Abode to hide in the Northern Region. Furthermore, so what if we start a war? Heh, I was just worried that I didn't have enough contributions to obtain this year's Heavenly Lake Cultivation Token."
"The Heavenly Lake Cultivation Token is truly a great item. Rumor has it that it's a sacred cultivation ground left behind by the Ancient Haven Palace. Furthermore, I've also heard that there's a mysterious Hidden Scripture Pavilion in it. If you're lucky, you can even obtain Divine Abilities after entering it!"
"Haha, although it's good, you have to be alive to enjoy it. The three Overlords of the Northern Domain are backed by the supreme forces of the Great Thousand World. Even if the Abode Ruler succeeds, our Northern Region won't be able to escape if we anger those supreme forces."
"It's not a good thing for the Abode Ruler to put the Northern Region on the line for his ambition."
“”
The intense quarrel continued in the restaurant.
In a remote corner of the restaurant, Datura calmly listened to the quarrel. Beside her sat the Sky Vulture Emperor, Liu Tiandao and the others. At this moment, their brows were tightly knitted together.
"Lord Datura, it's said that the entire Northern Region is currently debating about this matter. Furthermore, it's getting more and more intense, and it doesn't seem to be right." The Sky Vulture Emperor said in a low voice.
During this period of time, the debate spread to every corner of the Northern Region like a virus. The speed at which it spread was a little abnormal.
Datura's eyes flickered, "You're saying that someone is deliberately fanning the flames?"
The Sky Vulture Emperor slowly nodded his head. "I'm afraid that someone can't bear to see our Mu Abode being united and is trying to use public opinion to shake the hearts of our Northern Region."
"It's the Ziyun Sect's doing."
Datura faintly said. Truth be told, she had also sensed this situation. Some time ago, she had already sent someone to investigate. Recently, there were indeed many people from the Ziyun Sect that snuck into the Northern Region and spread the news, causing the Northern Region to be in an uproar.
Although this method couldn't shake the Mu Abode's foundation, it was extremely disgusting. Furthermore, if the Mu Abode really failed in the Northern Domain Assembly, then it might be the fuse that caused the Mu Abode's prestige to plummet and the hearts of the Northern Region to fall.
At that point, there might be many forces eyeing them. After all, their Mu Abode had the Ancient Haven Palace, which was already coveted by many.
"How shameless."
Liu Tiandao inwardly cursed. Right now, they had already considered themselves as part of the Mu Abode, so they were naturally enraged when they saw how despicable the Ziyun Sect was.
Waving her hand, Datura coldly said, "Pass down the order to search all the cities in the Northern Region. Anyone that's suspected to be from the Ziyun Sect that's trying to shake the hearts of the Northern Region will be apprehended. After investigation, all of them …"
She gently waved her hand with a cold aura.
Since the Ziyun Sect wanted to mess with them, then their Mu Abode wouldn't be polite and would slaughter as many as they sent over.
The hearts of Liu Tiandao and the rest trembled. It looked like Datura was intending to suppress them this time.
"Since Mu Chen wants the Mu Abode to become one of the Overlords of the Northern Domain, then I will naturally do my best to help. Although he has to deal with the top-tiered confrontation, we will help him deal with these sneaky tricks. Otherwise, why would the Mu Abode need so many people?" Datura faintly said.
"Yes!"
Liu Tiandao and the others replied in unison.
After a brief hesitation, Liu Tiandao couldn't help asking, "Lord Datura, do you think that the Abode Ruler can confront existences like the Violet Cloud Lord, Venerable Thunder Note, and the Golden Eagle Emperor?"
Evidently, even someone as old as Liu Tiandao was feeling nervous about the Mu Abode heading to the Northern Domain Assembly to compete with the three Overlords. After all, the three of them were existences that had come in contact with the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, and their fame had already entered the hearts of everyone in the Northern Domain.
Although Mu Chen had made a stunning return, his foundation was still inferior to those veterans.
When Datura heard his words, she cast a glance at Liu Tiandao.
The latter awkwardly smiled. "Lord Datura, it's not that we don't believe in the Abode Ruler, but this matter is too important. In the past, the rise and fall of our Mu Abode depended on this matter, so we're naturally worried."
Datura did not blame him, since Mu Chen's decision was a little sudden, and the three Overlords' fame in the Northern Domain had never waned. In the past, there were many powerful forces that challenged their position, but in the end, none of them succeeded.
Thus, aside from her, not many people in the Northern Region had absolute confidence in Mu Chen's decision.
Mu Chen was undoubtedly gambling this time. If he could really lead the Mu Abode to break the situation of the Violet Cloud Sect, Thunder Note Mountain, and Golden Eagle Mansion, then the Mu Abode would be able to rise and might even become the Overlord of the Northern Domain.
In the future, when the time was ripe, their Mu Abode could even covet the Greatlaw Continent. If they succeeded, then the Mu Abode would be similar to the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Realm, becoming a supreme force in the Great Thousand World.
Naturally, if Mu Chen was obstructed by the three Overlords in the Northern Domain Assembly and the Mu Abode was defeated, then it would be a devastating blow to the morale of the Mu Abode. At that time, the Violet Cloud Sect, Thunder Note Mountain, and Golden Eagle Mansion would also chase after them. After all, they were also coveting the Ancient Haven Palace.
Under those layers of obstructions, the Mu Abode might face the risk of collapsing.
Under such a grave consequence, it was no wonder that Liu Tiandao and the rest would feel uneasy.
However, Datura did not console them. She wore a faint smile on her face. "I don't care what you guys think, but I know that Mu Chen is someone chosen by the Heavenly Emperor. At the same time, even figures like Yan Emperor and Wu Zu have acknowledged him and are willing to form a good relationship with him.
"How do you guys feel that your eyesight is compared to the three of them?"
As her voice faded, she did not speak further. She waved her hand and turned around to leave.
As Liu Tiandao and the rest exchanged a look, they inwardly felt relieved. The heavy stone in their hearts had also been lifted. Indeed, figures like the Heavenly Emperor, Yan Emperor, and Wu Zu, which one of them wasn't a hero in the current era? Their eyesight was high, and even they were optimistic about the Abode Ruler. Thus, one could see the potential that the Abode Ruler possessed.
With such a master, they only had to follow him, and as long as they did their best, they would definitely not have any regrets in the future.
Time gradually passed in the Northern Region, and as the Northern Domain Assembly approached, the fiery atmosphere in the Northern Region heated up. But due to Mandala's actions, the morale of the Mu Abode continued to rise, and those rumors that tried to shake the Mu Abode's reputation had also quietly disappeared.
However, this was only limited to the Northern Region. In the entire Northern Region, some other forces that had received news of this only watched coldly from the sidelines. Most of them had pity and ridicule in their eyes.
After all, the Northern Region wasn't considered outstanding in the Northern Domain in the past. It was a mess and a plate of loose sand. But after unifying the Northern Region, they encountered an arrogant Abode Ruler that dared to challenge the authority of the Violet Cloud Sect, Thunder Note Mountain and the Golden Eagle Emperor
In the past, those forces that possessed such ambitions seemed to have vanished with the flow of time.
Thus, in the eyes of the other forces in the Northern Domain, the Mu Abode was just a joke in the Northern Domain Assembly.
Amidst all the commotion, the time for the Northern Region Meeting finally approached.
Northern Region, Mu Abode
The headquarters of the Mu Abode was bustling today with countless experts of the Mu Abode gathering from the Northern Region, displaying the vigor of a new force like the Mu Abode.
Outside a palace, Datura looked at the boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuation before turning to look at the direction of the Ancient Haven Palace and her brows uncontrollably knitted.
Ever since Mu Chen entered the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, he still hadn't appeared.
But today was the day for the Northern Domain Assembly, and with so many experts gathered here, if Mu Chen didn't show himself, then it would be a huge joke. The morale that they had gathered over the past month would probably collapse.
"That fellow!"
Datura clenched her fists and couldn't help gritting her teeth.
But at this moment, she couldn't show any worry and raised her head to look at the sky. As the blazing sun rose, the experts of the Mu Abode started to whisper amongst themselves. They had clearly sensed that Mu Chen still hadn't shown himself.
Looking at this scene, Datura helplessly sighed in her heart. Just when she wanted to comfort them, space fluctuated beside her and a youthful silhouette stepped out, appearing under the countless heated gazes.
"We pay our respects to the Abode Ruler!"
When that silhouette appeared, the experts of the Mu Abode immediately burst out with a thunderous welcome.
Looking at the massive army, Mu Chen lightly nodded his head and smiled towards Datura. Thereafter, he raised his hand and gently waved it. His clear voice echoed out between the heavens and earth.
"Move out!"
