The white-clothed queen's somewhat hoarse voice spread within the large hall. Immediately, it caused the expressions of many upper echelons to change slightly. Numerous cautious gazes were immediately thrown towards the spot where the former's gaze had gathered.
Someone has been spying on them for a long time, and they didn't notice it?
Under the many nervous and vigilant gazes in the hall, the empty space was silent for a long time. Finally, ripples appeared. After which, they saw a slender figure appearing out of nowhere. After which, he landed in the hall at a steady pace.
"What keen senses."
When Mu Chen appeared, he was a little astonished as he looked at the Empress.
His concealment was something that not even Perfected Earth Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World could sense, so he never expected that he would be discovered in the Lower Plane.
"I was born with keen senses, so I could vaguely sense it."
Looking at the youth before her, the white-clothed Empress smiled. There wasn't the slightest prestige of a Empress in her tone, since she could sense a vague pressure coming from the former.
That kind of oppressive feeling made her feel dangerous.
That mysterious youth was extremely powerful.
"Lord Great God!"
At this moment, the girl that was kneeling in the hall saw Mu Chen and spoke out in excitement.
A commotion was set off in the hall as many higher-ups looked at Mu Chen in doubt. Clearly, they never thought that the youth before them would be the so-called Lord Great God that the young lady had spoken of.
"Hmph, you're the one that's causing trouble?"
However, amidst the bewilderment, a sneer suddenly resounded as the sinister-looking old man darkly stared at Mu Chen and barked, "Do you know how much trouble you've brought upon yourself?
You actually dared to slaughter the experts of the Blood Fiend Clan in a city. At that time, we will all be buried along with you! "
Tilting his head, Mu Chen swept a glance at the old man and smiled, "Looks like there will always be spineless traitors, no matter where you go."
"What did you say?!" The shadowy old man flew into a rage.
As soon as his voice faded, Mu Chen's figure appeared in front of him like a ghost. The old man's expression changed. Blood light surged in the depths of his eyes, and majestic power erupted from his body like a volcano. He was about to throw a palm forward.
Crack.
However, just as the energy gushed out from his body, a slender hand pierced through space and ignored his defenses. It was like an eagle's claw as it grabbed onto his throat.
Mu Chen lifted his hand and lifted the shady old man up. Regardless of how the latter struggled, he was unable to shake Mu Chen's hand.
"What right do you have to speak to me?" Mu Chen smiled at the shadowy old man. His eyes were filled with undisguised disdain and disgust.
The shadowy old man's expression finally became terrified at this moment. That was because he had also sensed just how terrifying the mysterious young man before him was.
"Let me go!
Otherwise, the Blood Fiend Clan won't let you off! "The old man struggled.
"Don't worry, you're not qualified for me to make a move on you."
Mu Chen casually waved his hand and the sinister-looking elder flew out, heavily smashing against a stone pillar. His entire body was deeply embedded into it. Furthermore, a powerful energy was binding him, causing him to be unable to break free and could only be embedded into the stone pillar, becoming an ornament.
In the hall, everyone was dumbfounded at this scene. The Imperial Advisor was someone only inferior to the Empress, but he was akin to an ant in the hands of this mysterious young man.
The other Imperial Advisors' faces were pale as they constantly retreated. They did not dare to look at Mu Chen, fearing that they would be the next one.
The entire hall was silent as Mu Chen swept his gaze around. Anyone that met his gaze would be silent out of fear as they felt a great pressure.
In the end, Mu Chen's gaze stopped on the white-clothed Empress. The latter looked at him without any fear.
"I initially thought that there was a final shelter in this world, but I never expected that it would be a pit." Mu Chen smiled towards the white-clothed Empress.
He already knew that this city might seem to be the final shelter, but it had to send out millions of citizens every year to become the food of the Blood Fiend Clan and be toyed with by others.
Hearing the ridicule in Mu Chen's words, the white-clothed Empress' face turned pale with a trace of shame in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has already done her best. If it wasn't for her, we might not even have this place to live." Some of the upper echelons in the hall couldn't help but speak up for their Queen.
"Don't speak anymore."
The white-clothed Empress stopped them and said, "I'm truly useless, and I couldn't save everyone."
Shortly after, she raised her head and looked at Mu Chen with a blazing gaze. "Lord, you're not from the Blood Fiend Clan, and only you can become the Empress and save us."
Mu Chen's strength was so powerful that he could even be comparable to a Blood Demon Monarch. With his protection, even the Blood Fiend Clan would be fearful.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen couldn't help flinging his lips aside. This woman had clearly treated him as a lifeform of this world.
Thus, he sourly replied, "I'm not from your world."
The white-clothed Empress was briefly stunned before her eyes blazed with excitement. "Lord, you're from the outer world?"
"Looks like you know something."
Mu Chen was a little surprised by her reaction. Judging from the looks of it, she seemed to know about the existence of the Great Thousand World.
"I've read some ancient texts that say that there's a Outer Heavens above the Great Thousand World, and the powerhouses in the Outer Heavens can confront the Blood Fiend Clan." The white-clothed Empress said.
The other higher-ups also had blazing gazes as they looked at Mu Chen with excitement.
When Mu Chen saw their gazes, just when he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. He raised his head and looked at the distant horizon. "Trouble is coming."
Hearing Mu Chen's words, everyone had no idea what was going on, but the white-clothed Empress' face uncontrollably changed with hatred and a trace of fear in her eyes.
Not long after Mu Chen's voice resounded, everyone could see the heavens and earth turning dark. It was so much so that even the clouds in the sky had gradually turned crimson.
The entire heavens and earth was filled with the stench of blood.
"Shit, the Blood Fiend Clan is here!" Seeing this change, the faces of the higher-ups changed with dense fear on their faces.
At this moment, the vast city fell into chaos. Countless natives looked at the blood-red sky in fear. They collapsed to the ground and let out cries of despair.
In this world, the appearance of the Blood Fiend Clan was the most terrifying and despairing matter.
Under countless gazes filled with despair, a large patch of blood-red clouds whistled over from afar. In the end, it appeared in the sky above the city. Within the blood-red clouds, countless blood-red figures appeared, their gazes ferocious and hideous.
At the forefront, the blood clouds dispersed, revealing four burly figures that looked like demon gods. They crossed their arms over their chests and swept their eyes over the huge city. Powerful pressure swept out from their bodies.
"There are actually four Blood Demon Generals!"
Upon seeing the four burly figures, the faces of the upper echelons within the large hall immediately turned pale. Fear was revealed in everyone's eyes. Even their queen could only deal with one Blood Demon General.
However, Mu Chen's gaze did not stop on the four Blood Demon Generals. He was looking behind them with his eyes squinted.
Under Mu Chen's gaze, the four Blood Demon Generals respectfully retreated and a crimson throne appeared behind them with a crimson silhouette lazily leaning on it.
When that silhouette appeared, all the higher hierarchy in the hall started to tremble. The despair in their eyes could no longer be concealed and some of them even started to collapse.
Even the white-clothed Empress clenched her fists with her body trembling as she muttered with difficulty, "Even the Blood Demon King is here?"
"The Blood Demon King?"
Mu Chen looked at that silhouette. 'This is the Blood Demon King?'
According to his senses, the strength of this Blood Demon King was actually comparable to the Violet Cloud Lord of the Northern Domain, an expert that had come in contact with the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
This strength was already sufficient for Mu Chen to treat it seriously.
At the same time, the white-haired silhouette on the crimson throne lowered his head and looked in the direction of the hall with indifference, as if he was looking at a bunch of livestock waiting to be slaughtered.
In the next moment, his emotionless voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, "Hand them over. This time, as punishment, this King will take away ten million as food."
His voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, causing countless cries of despair to resound in the city.
Inside the great hall, all the higher-ups were trembling.
"Keke, weren't you guys very complacent earlier?"
Amidst their fear, the shadowy old man that was embedded in the pillar laughed out loud as he viciously stared at Mu Chen.
Some of the higher hierarchy trembled as they looked at the Empress. "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
They stealthily looked at Mu Chen. Clearly, they had the thought of handing the latter over.
Mu Chen looked at this scene with a smile and did not speak. He only looked at the Empress and wanted to see what she would choose.
The hall was completely silent as everyone stared at the white-clothed Empress. At this moment, the latter's hands were tightly clenched as her figure trembled. Shortly after, she deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as her voluptuous chest rose and fell.
Her bright eyes slowly swept across the crowd as she said softly, "Everyone, are you really willing to struggle at death's door like this and allow them to rear us like livestock?"
Everyone's eyes turned red with their bodies trembling. How could they not feel hatred for the Blood Fiend Clan? But the absolute power was more than enough to make them feel despair.
The White Queen continued softly, "I don't care what you think, but I don't want to hand over our clansmen like livestock and let them devour us!"
At this point, the Queen's pretty face suddenly became fierce and resolute. Her beautiful eyes swept across the crowd and she said in a low voice, "So, this time, I won't hand him over!"
In the hall, everyone's bodies trembled as they looked at Mu Chen with complicated gazes. How could they not tell that the Empress had placed all her bets on this unfamiliar youth?
If they lost, then their clan would be completely annihilated.
Mu Chen was also a little shocked as he looked at the Empress. He was shocked by her decisiveness. After all, this wasn't a decision that anyone could make.
Thus, he took a deep glance at the latter. "Is there anyone stronger than the Blood Demon King in the Blood Fiend Clan?"
The Empress shook her head. "There are six Blood Demon Kings in the Blood Fiend Clan, and they are the rulers of the clan."
"Is that so?"
Mu Chen lightly spat out a mouthful of air as he turned around and walked out of the hall under the gazes of the higher hierarchy. At the same time, his voice resounded in the hall.
"Then they will only have five in the future."
