Mu Chen's cold voice resounded, causing many people's hearts to tremble. They never expected that Mu Chen would not show any fear when facing three Spirit Heavenly Sovereigns. On the contrary, he even provoked them, as if he wasn't afraid of the three of them joining hands.
Facing Mu Chen's words, the faces of the Violet Aura Daomaster, Dragon Scripture Emperor, and Venerable Thunder sank. Ever since they broke through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, it has been a long time since they received such provocation.
Furthermore, this was under the situation where they had the advantage in numbers.
"Ruler Mu is truly awe-inspiring!
You want to fight the three of us by yourself? "The Dragon Scripture Emperor said with a cold light flickering in his eyes.
"Why not?" Mu Chen casually replied.
As he spoke, the black and white Mu Chen beside him flickered with spiritual light and turned into his Spiritual Physique, emanating a boundless might. Evidently, he had entered his battle state.
At this moment, everyone understood that Mu Chen wasn't joking. He really wanted to challenge the three Heavenly Sovereigns.
Looking at Mu Chen's cold gaze, the three Heavenly Sovereigns felt their hearts tremble. At this moment, they realised that with two Heavenly Sovereigns, Mu Chen's strength wasn't any weaker than the three of them.
If they fought today, even if the three of them could barely win, they would have to pay a great price, and there's a high possibility that one of them might die.
The consequences were too severe, and they couldn't bear it.
They had bitterly cultivated for years to step into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, and they still haven't enjoyed the glory and respect of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. So if they fought with Mu Chen here, it wouldn't be worth it.
Not to mention that the three of them weren't united, and they've always been competitors. If it wasn't for Mu Chen being too powerful, they wouldn't have joined hands.
Therefore, they didn't have absolute trust in these temporary allies. If a battle were to break out and one of them had the intention to retreat, the others would probably fall into a desperate situation.
On the other hand, on Mu Chen's side, the two clones had come out of the same body. Not only were they extremely well-coordinated, but they also did not have the slightest bit of indecisiveness. That kind of cooperation was not something that the two clones, who had their own agendas, could contend against.
Under such an unequal situation, once they started fighting, their chances of winning wouldn't be too good.
Thus, facing Mu Chen, the three Heavenly Sovereigns started to hesitate and kept their silence.
Their silence had caused shock in everyone's eyes. Who could've expected that even three Heavenly Sovereigns would be intimidated by Mu Chen's aura and not dare to face him head-on?
Didn't that mean that even if the three Heavenly Sovereigns joined forces, they would still be fearful of Mu Chen?
As a result, numerous shocked gazes looked at the young figure standing in the sky with his hands behind his back. Deep reverence began to appear in their eyes.
Suppressing three Heavenly Sovereigns by himself was truly domineering. If this matter spread out, Mu Chen's name would probably spread throughout the Great Thousand World.
The three Heavenly Sovereigns fell into silence for a long time before the Violet Aura Daomaster sighed, "Isn't Ruler Mu a little too much?"
Mu Chen faintly replied, "When the three of you encouraged the Profound Sky Ancestor to block my Mu Abode, did you think that it was too much?"
Raising his eyelids, he looked at the three of them and indifferently said, "If I don't let this matter go today, then my Mu Abode will not have a peaceful day in the future.
"If the three of you want to fight, then I, Mu Chen, will accompany you. But if you're not willing, then do as I said and leave the Northern Region."
The Violet Aura Daomaster knitted his brows and bitterly smiled. Although the resources in the Northern Region weren't small, his Violet Spiritual Aura Cave was still a supreme force, and this place could only be considered one of their businesses. So it wasn't worth it for them to fight with Mu Chen.
Thus, he shook his head in the end. "Since that's the case, then the Violet Cloud Sect under my Violet Spiritual Aura Cave will leave the Northern Region as an apology to Ruler Mu."
Since he knew that he had no advantage in the current situation, then he would decisively give up. The rise of the Mu Abode was unstoppable, and as long as Mu Chen was around, it would be equivalent to having three Heavenly Sovereigns. That was even stronger than his Violet Spiritual Aura Cave.
When Venerable Thunder saw the Violet Aura Daomaster taking a step back, he helplessly shook his head. "My Thunder Note Mountain will also leave."
When the Dragon Scripture Emperor saw this, a flash of rage flashed in his eyes. But if the two of them didn't participate in the battle, then he wouldn't be able to confront Mu Chen, who possessed two Heavenly Sovereigns.
Thus, he could only let out a snort and hatefully glanced at Mu Chen. Without saying a word, his silhouette moved and turned into a streak of light that soared into the sky.
His actions had already made his choice clear.
When the Violet Aura Lord, Golden Eagle Emperor, and Venerable Thunder Note saw this scene, their faces turned ashen with bitter expressions. They never expected that their backing would rather give up on them than fight with Mu Chen.
Without their backing, how could they compete with the Mu Abode?
In the future, there would no longer be a place for them to interfere in the Northern Region.
When Mu Chen saw the choice of the three Heavenly Sovereigns, his gaze flickered, but he wasn't surprised. That's because, right from the start, he knew that the three of them wouldn't dare to fight with him.
But that was under the condition that he had suppressed the Profound Sky Ancestor. If they had saved the latter, then the situation would be completely different.
"Since that's the case, then I won't be sending you off." Mu Chen cupped his hands towards the Violet Aura Lord and Venerable Thunder.
The Violet Aura Lord and Venerable Thunder Note also had a bellyful of grievance, but they could only leave with their gazes flickering. They did not speak a word and left. If they continued to stay, then they would only lose their face.
Along with the departure of the three Heavenly Sovereigns, the terrifying pressure that enveloped this region gradually dissipated and everyone felt heavily relieved as they wiped the sweat off their foreheads.
Mu Chen waved his hand and the black and white Mu Chen disappeared. The pagoda in his hand had also turned into a streak of light and entered his eyes.
After doing this, he placed his hands behind his back and looked around. His deep gaze seemed to have pierced through space and looked at the experts that were watching from afar.
Sensing the warning in Mu Chen's gaze, those gazes started to retreat with pity in their eyes. If Mu Chen was slightly weaker today, then who knows how many wolves would have charged out to divide the Mu Abode. But it was a pity that Mu Chen was too powerful and pulled the Mu Abode back from the edge of the cliff.
Furthermore, after today's battle, everyone knew that the Mu Abode would become one of the top-tiered forces in the Greatlaw Continent. In the future, there might even be a chance for them to ascend to the Greatlaw Continent and become the Overlord of this supreme force.
Mu Chen had already matured, and he would be unstoppable in the future. At the same time, the Mu Abode would also borrow his momentum to step into the ranks of supreme forces.
When those gazes disappeared, Mu Chen retracted the terrifying pressure around him and descended before the Mu Abode's Main Hall.
"We welcome the Abode Ruler!"
Seeing Mu Chen descending, Liu Tiandao and the other experts of the Mu Abode respectfully kneeled with reverence and fanaticism in their eyes.
Looking at everyone, Mu Chen noticed that the number of people in the Mu Abode seemed to have decreased compared to when they left.
Sensing Mu Chen's gaze, Datura walked up and said, "In the past half a year, due to the pressure from the Profound Sky Ancestor, many forces have left the Mu Abode."
Hearing her words, Mu Chen's expression was calm. "That's good as well. It's a disaster to leave those that flee when they're in danger."
Datura nodded her head in agreement. Those people were ingrates, and if they were left behind, they would become parasites on the Mu Abode, hindering its development.
Although the Mu Abode's strength had been affected, it had gotten rid of those hidden dangers.
"Immediately confiscate the assets of those forces that left and expel them from the Northern Region. In the future, if any of them dares to develop in the Northern Region, they will be killed."
A cold light flickered in Mu Chen's eyes. If he wanted the Mu Abode to exist, then he had to be fair. As for those forces that left the Mu Abode, he had to make an example out of them.
Hearing Mu Chen's cold voice, Liu Tiandao and the other leaders felt a chill down their spines. They rejoiced that they persevered and did not get bewitched. Otherwise, those unlucky fellows would have ended up like them.
"But if there's a punishment, there should be a reward."
Mu Chen looked at those forces that chose to stay with the Mu Abode and his gaze became more gentle. "As for those assets, they will be rewarded according to their contributions. Furthermore, the Heavenly Lake Cultivation Token for the next three years will be doubled."
When he finished, everyone had joy and excitement on their faces. One must know that there were many forces that left the Mu Abode, and if they could obtain those assets, it would undoubtedly allow their forces to grow.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Lake Cultivation Token was even more precious, and if it was doubled, it would mean that their disciples and subordinates would be able to cultivate in the Heavenly Lake to strengthen themselves.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help kneeling towards Mu Chen and respectfully said, "Thank you, Abode Ruler, for the reward!"
When Datura and Ling Xi saw how Mu Chen had intimidated everyone with a stick and a carrot, they exchanged a look and smiled. They knew that the moment Mu Chen stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, the rise of the Mu Abode was destined.
This time, no one could stop them.
