Jiu You left in the end. However, when he left, he looked at Mu Chen with a strange gaze, causing the corners of the latter's mouth to twitch involuntarily. Because her gaze seemed to be looking at a pervert bullying a little girl...
However, because of Mandala's previous words, he was unable to defend himself. Therefore, he could only sigh gloomily and carry Mandala, whose eyes were closed as if she had fallen asleep, back to the room.
Mu Chen carefully placed Mandala on the bed. After a moment of silence, he asked, "You approached me because of the Immortal Page in my body, right?"
Mandala's eyes opened a little, and a lazy expression surfaced on her porcelain doll-like exquisite face. She said, "Otherwise, do you think I did it because of you?"
"You know about the Immortal Canon?" Mu Chen's gaze faintly flickered as he asked.
Mandala's large golden eyes suddenly narrowed slightly like a kitten. Although she did not reply, Mu Chen already knew the answer. Immediately, his heart could not help but violently thump.
She indeed knew about the Immortal Canon. In that case, she must also know about the Primordial Immortal Body!
Just what was this little girl's background?
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. It won't do you any good."
However, just as Mu Chen could not help but want to ask, Mandala turned around. Her voice was young, but it contained an indescribable dignity.
Mu Chen smiled. His gaze faintly flickered as he said, "Then can you tell me, what benefits does the Immortal Page in my body bring to you?"
Mandala was silent for a while, before she said, "The Immortal Page of yours hides the divine runes of the Ancient Datura Flower. It is a kind of divine flower that possesses the power to seal all things. I need to borrow this power to suppress a curse in my body."
"Curse?" Mu Chen was startled.
"It's a curse that makes people suffer so much pain that they would rather die than live."
Mandala's voice was abnormally calm as she continued, "It is constantly emitting extreme pain that can even torture the soul of a Ninth Grade Sovereign expert."
Mu Chen's scalp went numb.
The kind of pain that would torture a Ninth Grade Supreme Martial Artist expert to the point that his soul would scatter?
"Do you want to try?"
Mandala's large golden eyes looked towards Mu Chen and suddenly smiled. She stretched out her slender little hand and a scarlet light flashed out.
It struck Mu Chen's body as fast as lightning.
Mu Chen's body suddenly stiffened, before violently trembling. Veins of blood crazily climbed out of his black pupils. His handsome face instantly became distorted, while a hoarse voice rang out from his throat.
An uncontrollable pain seemed to seep into every corner of his body at this moment.
The intense pain was sufficient to drive someone insane. But fortunately, the pain came and disappeared quickly.
In just a few breaths' time, it had completely disappeared.
Mu Chen sat on the chair with his head covered in cold sweat as he furiously looked at Mandala. "What are you doing?!"
"You can't take it anymore?
I'm enduring this pain all the time. "Mandala's lips curled up slightly.
She said.
Mu Chen was stunned as he looked at the little girl sitting on the bed with her hands hugging her knees. For some reason, he suddenly felt pity in his heart. He had only endured the pain for a few breaths' time before he couldn't take it anymore.
On the contrary, the girl before him was constantly enduring the pain. Furthermore, she was still able to remain so calm and endure the pain.
Perhaps it might be related to her strength, but it had also revealed her astonishing willpower.
"The Mandala Flower Divine Rune in the Immortal Diagram can help you remove this curse?" Mu Chen asked.
"Remove it?
How is that possible? "
Mandala smiled mockingly. "At most, it can only suppress it. Unless it's the real Ancient Datura Flower.
Only then can the curse be removed. "
Mu Chen fell silent. He had never heard of the Ancient Datura Flower. Clearly, its rarity was even greater than the three materials he needed to cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body.
"Don't worry, I won't snatch your Immortal Diagram. It has already gradually fused with you. If I forcefully take it, I might even damage the divine rune."
Seeing Mu Chen's silence, Mandala thought that he was worried that she would forcefully snatch the Immortal Diagram. She immediately curled her lips.
Mu Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He glanced at Mandala. "Your name shouldn't be Mandala, right?"
"It's just a name." Mandala declined to comment.
"Also …" Mu Chen looked Mandala up and down. "Your appearance should also be fake, right?
I don't believe that a person with such terrifying strength would really be a little girl. "
Underneath this little girl's appearance, she was most likely an old monster. When he thought of himself hugging an old monster, Mu Chen couldn't help but shiver. That scene was really somewhat unbearable.
Seeing Mu Chen's appearance, Mandala coldly snorted. "Don't use the age of a human to measure others. If you want to talk about age, that Jiu You Sparrow, isn't it much older than you?"
"You're not a human?" Mu Chen asked in astonishment.
Mandala stared at Mu Chen. She couldn't be bothered to reply. Her petite body rolled into the blanket. She lazily said, "You just cultivate. As long as I get close to you, I will be able to borrow the power of the Ancient Datura Flower's divine rune to suppress the curse."
"Then what's in it for me?" Mu Chen smiled.
Mandala poked her little head out of the blanket. She looked at Mu Chen strangely. "Isn't it the greatest benefit that I won't kill you?"
The corner of Mu Chen's mouth twitched. He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "You win!"
Mu Chen sat cross-legged on the bed. He no longer paid attention to her. He closed his eyes and formed seals with his hands. He gradually entered a state of cultivation.
As Mu Chen entered a state of cultivation, Mandala also got out of the blanket. She looked at Mu Chen. A strange light flashed across her golden eyes. She muttered to herself, "Great Solar Undying Body. I didn't expect it to appear again …"
…
For the next few days, Jiu You clearly wanted to let Mu Chen, who had experienced the battle of the Greatlaw Goldpond, rest. Therefore, he was a lot more free. But when he was free, the Jiu You Palace had made a move.
Because of the battle of the Greatlaw Goldpond, Mu Chen had gained back quite a bit of face for the Jiu You Palace. Therefore, Jiu You intended to recover the reputation of the Jiu You Palace in one go. After all, the Jiu You Palace had the weakest foundation amongst the Nine Kings. If the Jiu You Palace wanted to increase its strength, it had to at least take back the territories that originally belonged to the Jiu You Palace.
Those territories would hand over a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid every year. Right now, what the Jiu You Palace lacked the most was Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Especially after Mu Chen made a promise to the Jiu You Troop. Thus, they were even more lacking in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
Without sufficient Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, it would be tough for the Jiu You Palace to survive, not to mention strengthening themselves.
Furthermore, the various factions in the Great Heaven Domain were probably looking at their Jiu You Palace. Clearly, they wanted to see if the Jiu You Palace, which had caused such a huge commotion, would be a joke in the end.
Under the numerous gazes, the Jiu You Palace dispatched their troops to the cities that once belonged to the Jiu You Palace. The message they brought over was extremely simple.
Pledge allegiance to the Jiu You Palace once again.
The actions of the Jiu You Palace had caused many people to be a little stunned. Some of them even inwardly shook their heads and laughed. A woman was, after all, a woman. Her actions were too weak. Did she really think that a single sentence from her could make those City Lords that had pledged allegiance to the Blood Hawk Hall change their ways?
The truth was indeed as they had expected. Amongst the fifty-plus cities that were reported, aside from a few City Lords that had been greatly exploited by the Blood Hawk Hall, they had expressed their willingness to pledge allegiance to the Jiu You Palace. The remaining City Lords did not give any reply. It was so much so that not only did a few City Lords that had a close relationship with the Blood Hawk Hall not express any intention of pledging allegiance, they had even chased the people sent by the Jiu You Palace back. Their attitude of having someone to rely on was rather arrogant.
Clearly, relying on the backing of the Blood Hawk Hall, they did not place the Jiu You Palace, which had an extremely weak reputation in the Great Heaven Domain, in their eyes.
The first move of the Jiu You Palace seemed to be in a sorry state. Many people in the Great Heaven Domain were inwardly shaking their heads. The Blood Hawk Hall was filled with mocking sneers, venting the resentment from being suppressed by Mu Chen in the Greatlaw Goldpond.
Under the countless peculiar gazes of the Great Heaven Domain, the Jiu You Palace was still calm.
The Jiu You Palace, outside a great hall.
The black mass of the Jiu You Guards quietly stood as a solemn killing intent quietly spread out between the heavens and earth, causing the temperature to drop.
Jiu You stood before the great hall, donned in battle armour. Her black hair was like a waterfall, and her slender body was straight. She lowered her head to look at the scroll in her hand, which recorded the various responses from the cities that reported the news.
Jiu You calmly looked at the replies. Not only was she not angry, a smile rose on her lips. Shortly after, she raised her head and looked at the youth with a body that was like a spear. With a flick of her finger, the scroll shot into the latter's hand.
"The name list is here. I'll leave the rest to you."
Mu Chen held onto the scroll and lightly smiled. He turned around and looked at the army that was like a black cloud before him and faintly said, "You guys have heard the rumours in the Great Havenlaw Domain for the past few days. Some people have a new master and have forgotten the respect they should have. What should we do with such people?"
"Kill!"
An orderly roar exploded across the horizon, filled with killing intent. Every single Jiu You Guard had blazing flames surging in their eyes. After enduring for so many years, they finally didn't need to continue enduring.
"Others might think that the principles of our Jiu You Palace come from our mouths …"
Mu Chen's cold pupils swept out as his body slowly rose. In the next instant, a boundless Spiritual Energy swept out like a storm.
"But today, we will let them know that the principles of our Jiu You Palace come from our fists!"
"Let's go!"
Mu Chen coldly barked as his silhouette turned into a streak of light and flew out. When Tang Bing saw this, she waved her hand and the Jiu You Guard soared into the sky like a black cloud.
The ominous aura that soared into the sky had caused the hearts of many factions in the Greatlaw Domain to jolt. The Jiu You Palace was going to show their ruthless methods...
