Along with Jiu You's departure, the atmosphere on the stone stage was still a little tense. Many people had their gazes lightly flickering. It looked like the Nine Kings Conference this time wouldn't be peaceful.
"Haha, I never thought that your temper would grow after leaving for a few years."
Blood Hawk King narrowed his eyes as he looked at Jiu You's departing silhouette. A smear of hostility flashed in the depths of his eyes as he faintly smiled.
"But I'll see who can take back what I've taken!"
Blood Hawk King eerily smiled, not placing Jiu You's threat in his heart. Although he knew that Jiu You had the Sky Vulture Emperor behind her, he wasn't afraid. After all, the Sky Vulture Emperor was only one of the three Emperors and couldn't control everything in the Great Heaven Domain.
"Let's go!"
Blood Hawk King waved his hand as he swiftly ascended the stone stairs.
The Asura King, Mountain Splitting King and the others only watched from the sidelines, and did not interfere in the grudges between the two sides. Nine Nether's foundation amongst the Nine Kings had always been the weakest, and she did not have any allies. On the other hand, the Blood Hawk King had a considerable reputation. Therefore, in the past confrontations, the Blood Hawk King had always held the upper hand. But no one knew what the outcome would be this time.
Behind the Asura King, Xu Qing cast a glance at Blood Hawk King's silhouette and couldn't help frowning his brows.
"Don't think of standing up for a woman if you don't have the ability. The current you still doesn't have that ability." The Asura King seemed to have sensed Xu Qing's gaze as he faintly said.
Hearing his words, Xu Qing couldn't help awkwardly smiling.
"Furthermore, with Jiu You's current strength, it's not your turn to worry about her. Her current strength is probably close to Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, not to mention her physique as a Divine Beast.
Even the Fifth Grade Sovereign Blood Hawk King can't do anything to her. "
The Asura King strode forth as his indifferent voice rang in Xu Qing's ears, "Furthermore, you should be clear that Jiu You isn't like those ordinary women. She has a prideful character and you're still lacking if you want to move her heart.
At the very least, you have to get rid of your identity as a Commander. "
Xu Qing silently nodded. Then, he followed behind the Asura King and walked towards the grand hall.
The other various kings also stepped onto the stone stairs.
Walking up the stone stairs, the ancient palace had already opened. Nine Nether brought Mu Chen and the other two in and saw an oval-shaped building in the palace. The deeper they went, the more they went,
The taller the oval-shaped stone platform.
The stone platform extended almost all the way to the edge of the hall. There was an empty space in the middle. At the top of the stone platform, there was a tall throne that could overlook everyone. However, there was no one on the throne at this moment. Even so, the throne was empty.
It was as if there was still a formless pressure being emitted from the throne, enveloping the entire hall.
Obviously …
That Throne belonged to the true ruler of the Great Havenlaw Domain, the Domain Ruler that appeared and disappeared mysteriously.
Below the throne were three golden lotus seats. At that moment, there were three figures quietly sitting on the lotus seats. The space around them showed signs of distortion.
In the middle of the three figures was a rather skinny old man.
There seemed to be light gathering in the old man's eyes, as if he could see through one's heart. It was so sharp that it made one's heart palpitate.
On his left.
It was also a white-haired old man, but his skin was as smooth as a baby's. There wasn't the slightest wrinkle on his face, and even his white hair was emitting a luster. He didn't look like an old man at all. His eyes were completely pitch-black, without the slightest sclera. That kind of darkness made one shudder.
On his right was a drowsy man. His age could not be determined, but his lazy posture made it seem as though he was always in a drowsy state.
Jiu You, who walked into the hall, first looked at the skinny old man in the middle. A smile finally appeared on her ice-cold face.
"Aiya, Little Jiu You is finally back. Not bad." The skinny old man's sharp gaze stopped on Jiu You as he said with a gratified smile.
The baby-like old man narrowed his eyes as he looked at Jiu You with a smear of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
The drowsy man also opened his eyes to take a look, then lazily tilted his head to one side.
"The one in the middle is the Sky Vulture Emperor. He has some relationship with the Jiu You Sparrow Clan, so he can be considered as Big Sister Jiu You's senior, and has been taking care of her." Tang Bing said to Mu Chen in a low voice.
"The one on the left of the Sky Vulture Emperor is the Spiritual Pupils Emperor, and he is also the backing of the Blood Hawk King and the rest. The reason why the Blood Hawk King dared to be so arrogant is mainly because of the support of the Spiritual Pupils Emperor."
Mu Chen's heart shook as he looked at the white-haired old man with black pupils. The latter seemed to have sensed Mu Chen's gaze as he cast his gaze over. There seemed to be a bizarre lustre circulating in his black pupils, making others feel like they would sink into it and be unable to extricate themselves.
All of a sudden, a somewhat ice-cold jade-like hand lightly grasped onto Mu Chen's palm. The ice-cold feeling immediately caused Mu Chen to regain his senses. In the next instant, shock filled his heart, while fear and dread filled his eyes.
This Spiritual Pupils Emperor was indeed bizarre.
"Don't look at his eyes. The Divine Art that he cultivates is in his eyes." Seeing that Mu Chen had woken up, Jiu You released his hand and reminded.
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head.
"The third one is known as the Sleeping Emperor. I haven't seen him awake for all these years. Therefore, the majority of the matters in the Great Heaven Domain are decided by the Sky Vulture Emperor and the Spiritual Pupils Emperor." Tang Bing's face was a little weird as she cast a glance at the drowsy figure.
Mu Chen had a face of astonishment as well. There's actually such a weird person in this world?
"Don't underestimate him. It's said that he's one of the first to follow the Domain Master to establish the Great Heaven Domain. His strength is deep and unfathomable, even Old Vulture is fearful of him." Jiu You said in a soft voice.
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. The three Emperors before him weren't any weaker than the Demonic Human Elder of the Sky Profound Palace. Their strengths were at least at the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm.
"What about the Domain Master?" Mu Chen asked in doubt.
"The Domain Master hasn't appeared for many years."
Tang Rou quietly said, "The Domain Master is the most mysterious person in our Great Heaven Domain. It's said that he's in secluded cultivation, but no one knows where he's cultivating at."
Mu Chen helplessly smiled. The Great Heaven Domain was truly a little peculiar.
Jiu You waved her hand as she brought Mu Chen and the other two towards a stone chair and sat down. After that, the other eight Kings also brought their people in and sat down.
"Haha, after waiting for so many years, the seats here are finally full."
Looking at the seats below, the Sky Vulture Emperor faintly smiled. "Since everyone is here, then let the Nine Kings Conference begin."
The territory of the Great Heaven Domain was extremely vast. Furthermore, it was also bordered by many other powerful forces, so there would be endless battles between them. Generally speaking, many controversial matters would be resolved in the Nine Kings Conference.
Because Jiu You had already left the Great Heaven Domain for many years, she did not interrupt the discussion. Her slender fingers lightly tapped on the stone platform as she closed her eyes, a faint chill enveloped her face.
Mu Chen, Tang Bing and Tang Rou quietly stood there, looking down.
The discussions lasted for roughly an hour, before finally coming to an end. When the Sky Vulture Emperor saw this, he changed the topic. "Since everything has come to an end, let's talk about the competition for the Greatlaw Goldpond two months from now."
When he spoke, the atmosphere in the hall instantly froze. The eyes of the various Kings had also narrowed. Clearly, they understood that this was the main event. After all, the Greatlaw Goldpond was extremely attractive.
Jiu You had also opened her eyes at this moment as she coldly looked at the Blood Hawk King. Her voice was filled with chill as it resounded, "In this competition for the Greatlaw Goldpond, our Jiu You Palace will also participate."
The hearts of everyone present jolted as they knew that the Jiu You King, who had just returned, was about to make things difficult for them.
When the Blood Hawk King heard her words, he lightly smiled. "Haha, Jiu You, it has been a long time since you have returned, so there are some things that you do not know. The quota of your Jiu You Palace has already been sold to our Blood Hawk Hall."
Rage surged on the faces of Tang Bing and Tang Rou. This fellow was truly shameless.
"Sold it to you?
Did I agree to it?
The Blood Hawk King is the leader of the Blood Hawk Hall, so you should know that only the head of a Hall can agree to it, right? "Jiu You coldly sneered.
"Since I did not agree to it, then it can't be counted. Otherwise, why don't I give you 2,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids and you sell the quota of your Blood Hawk Hall to my Jiu You Palace?"
The corner of the Blood Hawk King's eyes twitched as his gaze grew darker. Shortly after, he eerily smiled. "I never thought that after leaving for a few years, you would become so good at talking."
His hand slowly clenched onto the armrest of the stone chair as a boundless Spiritual Energy pressure burst out, staring at Jiu You with a sharp gaze.
At the sight of this, a smear of a cold smile rose on Jiu You's rosy lips as she abruptly slammed on the huge stone table. A crack instantly shot out from her palm like a sharp sword, pointing towards the Blood Hawk King.
"Impudent!"
Seeing that Jiu You still dared to take the initiative to attack, the Blood Hawk King's gaze instantly turned cold as he abruptly slammed his palm down as well. A bloody crack shot out from his palm and clashed with the incoming crack.
Boom!
The huge stone table violently trembled. But before the shock wave could explode, a gentle energy surged over, dissolving the two forces.
"Violence is prohibited in the Meeting Hall." The Sky Vulture Emperor waved his sleeve as he faintly said.
The Blood Hawk King coldly snorted as he eerily stared at Jiu You and ridiculed, "So what if you have the quota?
Your Jiu You Palace no longer has a Commander, so you guys are not qualified to participate in the competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond. "
A Commander must possess the strength of a Sovereign Realm. In the Jiu You Palace, aside from Jiu You, not even that lass, Tang Bing, had stepped into the Sovereign Realm.
"Who says that our Jiu You Palace doesn't have a Commander?"
Jiu You raised her gaze as a smear of ridicule rose on her rosy lips. Shortly after, she pointed towards Mu Chen beside her as her cold voice rang out.
"From today onwards, he will be the new Commander of our Jiu You Palace!"
