"Mother?"
The space behind Mu Chen rippled as a beautiful figure slowly appeared. As Lin Jing cried out in surprise, the figure became increasingly clear.
Mu Chen could not help but turn his head in astonishment, only to see a lady in a white dress standing quietly and elegantly. The lady possessed an extremely beautiful appearance, and faintly resembled Lin Jing. Her fine black hair was tied up, and her cold demeanor was breathtaking.
What made Mu Chen even more astonished was that this beautiful lady in white was actually Lin Jing's mother?
They didn't seem like mother and daughter, but more like sisters.
Was she the one who silently chopped off the hand of the grey-clothed old man before him?
When she said the little princess of the Martial Realm, was she referring to Lin Jing?
Martial Realm?
Mu Chen's heart violently shook as he blankly stared at Lin Jing, who was in his embrace. Clearly, he did not expect her to have such an astonishing background. The Martial Realm was an overlord of the Great Thousand Worlds, and the founder of the Martial Realm, Wu Zu, was a super existence whose name resounded throughout the Great Thousand Worlds!
Although the Sky Mysterious Palace could be considered powerful, it was nothing compared to the Martial Realm.
At this moment, Mu Chen finally understood why Lin Jing was covered in protective jades with astonishing defensive power. She was actually the little princess of the Martial Realm!
"Mother, why are you here?"
Lin Jing's eyes widened as she looked at the lady in white before her, before she pounced over in joy.
The lady in white extended her slender finger and violently flicked Lin Jing's smooth forehead as she said in an annoyed tone, "You actually dared to sneak out.
How dare you. "
Her expression was cold, but when she looked at the young girl before her, her eyes were filled with deep love.
"It's so boring at home." Lin Jing covered her forehead as she said pitifully.
"Your father has already said it.
When I return, I won't let you off so easily. "
"Mother, you must save me!" Ling Jing's face was filled with tears as she tightly grabbed onto the white-dressed woman's sleeves.
"Didn't I come out to gain experience? And look, you almost couldn't see me anymore."
As she spoke of this, the white-clothed lady's eyes slightly narrowed. In that instant, her eyes seemed to turn a little cold. After which, she raised her head and looked at the grey-clothed old man before her. She spoke in an indifferent voice, "You are quite courageous."
"Who are you?!" The grey-clothed old man suddenly regained his senses.
He couldn't care less about his broken palm.
His face was like a withered tree.
He cried out involuntarily with a wisp of intense shock.
"You're from the Martial Realm?!" He suddenly remembered the voice from before and his heart trembled.
His voice was hoarse.
"Mother, don't let him go.
He wanted to kill me just now. If it wasn't for Mu Chen, your daughter would definitely be missing an arm or a leg! "Lin Jing angrily said from the side.
It wasn't easy for her big backer to arrive. She wouldn't let this hateful old fellow off so easily.
The white-clothed lady lowered her head and looked at Mu Chen, who was miserably sitting on the ground. His back was a bloody mess, revealing his eerie white bones. Her voice became a little gentler as she smiled and said, "Little brother, thank you. Are you alright?"
Being addressed in such a manner by such a young lady, Mu Chen was a little unaccustomed to it. He scratched his head and smiled, "I'm fine. My skin is rough and my flesh is thick. It's just a small injury."
Looking at the injuries on his back, the white-dressed lady noticed purple-coloured Spiritual Energy surging within. Within the purple-coloured Spiritual Energy, there seemed to be a peculiar purple-coloured flame flickering. Wherever the flame drifted past, his flesh and blood would rapidly squirm and heal, revealing his astonishing regenerative abilities.
A smear of astonishment flashed across the white-clothed lady's eyes before she felt relieved. Thereafter, her gaze was directed at the grey-clothed old man, whose face was constantly changing. Her voice was cold and calm as she said, "To be so heavy-handed with two juniors, did you really think that my Martial Realm is easy to bully?"
The grey-clothed old man's body trembled as his gaze fluctuated. In the next instant, his figure suddenly shot out like a specter. Numerous afterimages shuttled through space as he appeared beside Liu Ming, who was heavily injured. He grabbed onto Liu Ming and fled.
Far away, when the Heart Fairy Fox and the middle-aged man saw this scene, their hearts trembled as dense shock surged in their eyes. Just who was that white-clothed woman? She actually managed to scare an Eighth Grade Sovereign Demonic Human Elder to the point of fleeing in such a pathetic manner the moment she appeared?
"Mother, don't let him escape!" When Lin Jing saw that the old man was about to escape, she immediately said.
The white-clothed lady gently nodded her head as she stretched her slender hand out and gently raised it.
Rumble!
The earth in the distance suddenly trembled as a gigantic mountain rose from the ground. That mountain was multi-coloured and dazzling. If one were to carefully sense it, they would discover that this mountain wasn't made of ordinary mountain rocks, it was completely formed from pure Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Energy ripples coming from it were so powerful that they couldn't be described with words.
Whoosh!
The huge Spiritual Energy mountain rose from the ground and appeared on the horizon in a flash, before heavily falling towards a certain location. Instantly, space froze as two silhouettes appeared in a flash, it was the Demonic Human Elder.
At this moment, he raised his head in horror and looked at the incomparably huge mountain falling from the sky. He cried out involuntarily, "Heaven and Earth Phase?!"
The faces of the Heart Fairy Fox and the middle-aged man drastically changed as shock surged in their eyes. It was actually the Heavens and Earth Phase, something that only those that had stepped into the Earth Sovereign Realm could control.
The white-clothed lady before them was actually an Earth Sovereign Realm?!
The so-called Heaven and Earth Phase was able to create mountains and rivers with a wave of his hand. It was even able to change the shape of the earth. It was extremely profound. If Mu Chen wanted to destroy the terrain, he could do it with his current strength. However, if he wanted to create the terrain of the earth out of nothing, it would be a little difficult for him.
Rumble!
As the Spiritual Energy mountain pressed down, the entire space was completely sealed. It was so much so that even the grey-clothed old man was unable to move. He could only watch as the mountain whistled over and heavily pressed down on his body.
Poof.
The old man's body seemed to have turned weak at this moment. His bones seemed to have shattered as he violently spewed blood.
Along with the mountain, he was heavily pressed into the ground.
The Spiritual Energy mountain fell onto the ground. The mountain that was tens of thousands of feet tall had become the tallest place in this land.
As for the old man, he was suppressed beneath it.
He couldn't move.
When Mu Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help inhaling a mouthful of chilled air. This was the first time that he had seen an Earth Sovereign Realm make a move. The power that was displayed with a flip of his hand.
It was truly terrifying.
In the distance, the black-clothed old man, who was tangling with Jiu You, had also sensed the commotion over here. Instantly, he was frightened out of his wits. Without any hesitation, he turned around and fled like a rat. He no longer cared about the bearing of a Sovereign Realm expert.
However, just when his figure had fled, he felt a terrifying power descending from the sky. Thereafter, his body suffered a heavy blow and fell down, creating a huge crater on the ground.
The massive Jiu You Sparrow rapidly shrunk.
In the end, it turned into a slender and graceful figure.
Jiu You flew over.
Landing beside Mu Chen, her beautiful eyes were a little astonished as she looked at the mysterious white-clothed lady that had appeared out of nowhere.
"It's Lin Jing's mother." Mu Chen explained as he climbed up with some difficulty.
Only then did Jiu You nod her head in understanding.
Thereafter, she immediately supported Mu Chen.
"Mother, how should we deal with these fellows?" Lin Jing chuckled.
"Suppress them here for five years." The white-clothed lady casually said.
Shortly after, she waved her hand and suppressed the black-clothed old man under the Spiritual Energy mountain. Thereafter, the mountain slowly sank into the ground and disappeared.
Mu Chen looked at the location where the Spiritual Energy mountain had sunk into. The ground was still flat and no one would have imagined that three unlucky fellows would be suppressed there.
Although the grey-clothed old man, who had reached the Eighth Grade Sovereign Realm, might be able to endure for five years, his strength would definitely be greatly reduced. As for Liu Ming, it was a question if he could even survive.
Clearly, it was impossible for Mu Chen to take pity on them. If it wasn't for Lin Jing's mother appearing earlier, their outcome might not be any better.
"Mother, you've come at the right time!" Lin Jing held onto the white-clothed lady's arm as she smiled.
"You think that you can sneak out of the Martial Realm with that bit of ability of yours?"
The white-clothed lady looked at Lin Jing with ridicule as she continued, "If it wasn't for me secretly following you, you would have been brought back by your father."
Hearing her words, Lin Jing instantly felt depressed. So it turned out that the perfect escape plan that she had thought to be useless.
Mu Chen inwardly wiped his sweat when he heard that. Fortunately, he did not have any ill intentions towards Lin Jing. Otherwise, he would have been killed by her mother, who was hiding in the dark.
The Great Thousand World was truly dangerous.
Mu Chen inwardly sighed. Initially, he had already thought highly of Liu Ming. However, he never expected that this fellow would have such a powerful Elder protecting him in the dark, nearly causing him to fail miserably in this easy task.
"This little brother …" The white-clothed lady looked at Mu Chen once again.
"Senior, you can just call me Mu Chen." Mu Chen scratched his head as he wasn't used to this form of address.
The white-clothed lady smiled. She had been following Lin Jing in the dark, so she naturally knew of Mu Chen's attitude towards Lin Jing. Therefore, she had a good impression of him. Thus, she wasn't stingy with her usual smile as she gently said, "Then, I'll call you Little Mu. Give me the Spatial Bangle that you've obtained earlier."
Mu Chen took it out without any hesitation and handed it over to the white-clothed lady. With the latter's identity, he wasn't worried that someone would be interested in those items.
The white-clothed lady was rather satisfied with his straightforwardness. She received it with her jade-like hand as light surged from her palm and entered the Spatial Bangle. A brief moment later, she retracted it.
"There's an imprint left behind by an Earth Sovereign expert in this Spatial Bangle. If you had taken it away like this, he might have sensed it. However, I've already erased it, so there's no problem." The white-clothed lady handed the Spatial Bangle over to Mu Chen as she spoke.
Mu Chen's head was covered in cold sweat. Although he did not recklessly probe the Mustard Seed Bracelet, he never thought that there would be an Earth Sovereign Realm expert's imprint in it. It must have been left behind by the Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace.
"Thank you, Senior." Mu Chen said gratefully.
The white-clothed lady lightly smiled as she shook her head. She lovingly rubbed Lin Jing's head and said, "You've saved Little Jing. If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Ling."
