"Hand over the position of City Lord …"
When Mu Chen's somewhat cold voice resounded in the sky of the city, it had immediately caused the noises in this region to come to an abrupt halt. Countless people looked at the black-clothed youth with shock in their eyes.
The atmosphere between the heavens and earth seemed to have solidified a lot at this moment.
No one had expected that the new Commander of the Jiu You Palace would be so decisive. He had just appeared and had not even stabilized his footing and had already spoken such words. Wasn't he afraid of causing a backlash and falling out with them?
There were more than 50 City Lords here!
Countless people exchanged looks. Clearly, they were a little shocked by the unusual actions of the new Commander of the Jiu You Palace.
While everyone was shocked by Mu Chen's voice, all the City Lords, including Luo Mang and the rest, had astonished expressions on their faces.
The reason why they had put up such a formation was to suppress the person from the Jiu You Palace. Luo Mang also believed that facing such a formation, it was definitely enough to make a First Grade Sovereign brat feel pressured. As long as the latter was shocked by their aura, then they would have the initiative in the negotiations.
Luo Mang had expected all of this, so he had made ample preparations. But at this moment, he was still a little flustered. That's because he realised that the formation that he had set up seemed to have been completely disregarded by the new Commander of the Jiu You Palace.
After being flustered, rage surged as Luo Mang's face instantly turned dark. He stared at Mu Chen and sneered, "This new Commander is truly awe-inspiring. Just a word from you can remove our City Lord's position, who do you think you are?!"
Some of the other City Lords also had rage on their faces, but the majority of their gazes were flickering. That's because Mu Chen's bearing was too powerful. He didn't seem to be here to rope them in. Judging from his tone, how was there any intention to negotiate?
Up in the sky, Mu Chen's expression was calm, but his black pupils were filled with a chill. He could naturally see through Luo Mang's intentions. Furthermore, he was also clear about the character of the person before him. Facing such a person, as long as you slightly gave in, he would immediately take a mile after taking an inch.
If you took a step back, he would advance by a foot.
The only way was to not waste any words and directly step on his face so that he didn't even have the leeway to give way!
"His words represent our Jiu You Palace!"
Behind Mu Chen, Tang Bing coldly looked at those City Lords and coldly said, "If you guys aren't convinced, then feel free to look for the Three Emperors to object!"
Luo Mang's face slightly changed as his gaze grew increasingly dark.
Mu Chen's cold gaze swept across the City Lords as he indifferently said, "If there are any City Lords that are loyal to our Jiu You Palace, my Jiu You Palace will naturally keep them. But if anyone thinks that they can use this to threaten us, then I can only let them understand that the ownership of these cities belongs to our Jiu You Palace. If they are unhappy, then my Jiu You Palace will just cripple them. I believe that there should be many people interested in the cushy position of City Lord."
Many City Lords couldn't help but twitch their eyes. Could this new commander of Jiu You Palace be a madman? To dismiss so many City Lords at once, wasn't Jiu You Palace afraid that these cities would be in chaos?
However, if the Nine Nether Palace really decided to throw the can away and remove all of them … then their losses would be extremely great. After all, just as Mu Chen had said, there were many people eyeing the positions of the City Lords. The Great Havenlaw Domain was so vast with experts as many as the clouds in the sky. So it wasn't impossible for them to find someone to replace them.
Some City Lords couldn't help but feel nervous. They wondered if they had gone too far and actually forced Jiu You Palace to such a state where both sides suffered losses …
Moreover, Jiu You Palace had a backer after all. Even if they suffered a great loss this time, they could still maintain it. On the other hand, once they lost the position of City Lord, they would lose all their background and resources. Losing the support of the resources of the Great Heaven Domain, their road of cultivation would become difficult.
The faces of many City Lords fluctuated at this moment. For a moment, they were flustered by Mu Chen's actions that did not care about the consequences. The anger on their faces had turned into hesitation.
When Luo Mang saw this scene, his eyes turned cold. He had indeed underestimated this new commander of Jiu You Palace. This brat might be young, but he was exceptionally decisive in his actions. His ruthless attitude directly suppressed the restless thoughts of many City Lords.
"Hmph, nonsense. These cities are now under the jurisdiction of the Blood Hawk Hall. The appointment of the City Lords should also be controlled by the Blood Hawk Hall. When did it become your turn to give orders?!"
Luo Mang said in a stern voice. At this moment, if he didn't speak out, these City Lords would probably have the intention to retreat.
"Everyone, don't be frightened by this. Lord Blood Hawk King is looking at us!"
Hearing the three words Blood Hawk King, a smear of fear flashed across the eyes of those City Lords. Compared to Jiu You, who had been missing for a long time, the Blood Hawk King's deterrence was clearly stronger.
Some of the wavering City Lords secretly looked at each other and bitterly smiled in their hearts. In fact, it didn't matter who they pledged allegiance to. However, if they pledged allegiance to one side, they would inevitably offend the other side. Regardless of whether it was the Nine Blood Palace or the Blood Hawk Hall, they weren't existences that they could contend against alone.
Up in the sky, when Tang Bing saw that the City Lords, who were originally wavering due to fear from Mu Chen, were once again shocked by Luo Mang, she instantly clenched her teeth in anger.
When Luo Mang saw this scene, he felt relieved in his heart. Shortly after, he coldly smiled as he looked at Mu Chen in the sky and said, "This new Commander of the Jiu You Palace, we do not wish to make this matter awkward. If you want us to pledge allegiance to the Jiu You Palace, I feel that you should at least ask Lord Blood Hawk King. If he agrees to it, then we will naturally not say a single word of objection!"
Countless gazes looked at Mu Chen. The current situation had already reached such a state. If the new Commander of the Jiu You Palace were to retreat like this, then he would probably become the laughingstock of the entire Great Heaven Domain.
Under the countless gazes, a smear of a smile appeared on Mu Chen's handsome face. He looked at Luo Mang and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then City Lord Luo Mang doesn't agree with the suggestion of my Jiu You Palace?"
"It's not that I don't agree, but I want you to ask Lord Blood Hawk King." Luo Mang coldly smiled.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing to talk about." Mu Chen helplessly smiled. However, the chilling intent within his black pupils was rapidly accumulating.
"Looks like there's nothing to talk about."
Luo Mang stood up as well. He crossed his arms before his chest. His robust figure was extremely oppressive at this moment as he coldly stared at Mu Chen. Did this brat really think that he could intimidate him with a few words?
Did he, Luo Mang, really rely on his mouth to come this far?
This brat only had the strength of a First Grade Sovereign and he dared to be so impudent here. Did he really think that he could be unbridled after defeating Cao Feng?
Up in the sky, Mu Chen smiled as cold killing intent gushed out from his smile. In the next instant, he abruptly took a step forth as spiritual light surged and a dragon roar resounded.
Rustle!
As the dragon roar resounded, his figure had disappeared from his original location.
When Mu Chen's figure disappeared, Luo Mang's eyes trembled as he burst in retreat at the same time. However, in that instant when he burst in retreat, the space behind him seemed to have been torn apart as a dragon flew out. A palm wind that seemed to be shrouded in purple flames instantly slammed towards Luo Mang's back.
Boom!
Luo Mang's face turned cold. He did not dodge as he threw a palm out with a flip of his hand. Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out like a flood.
Boom!
The two palms clashed as violent Spiritual Energy violently wreaked havoc.
The ground that the two of them stood on had collapsed as cracks rapidly spread out. The surrounding City Lords had also hastily burst in retreat, fearing that they would be affected by the shockwave.
Tsk! Tsk!
As the two of them clashed, lightning abruptly blossomed from Mu Chen's body. Clearly, he had instantly pushed his Lightning God's Physique to the limits. Shortly after, his gaze turned cold as he threw another punch forth.
"You think that you're the only one that has refined your physical body?!"
Luo Mang furiously laughed. He heavily stomped his feet and the black snake tattoos on his body started to wiggle. The ferocious mouth of the snake ferociously bit his neck. Instantly, his body turned black at an astonishing speed. It was as if he was made of black metal and was incomparably firm.
As the black light flickered, he clenched his fist and heavily clashed with Mu Chen's fist that was flickering with lightning.
Boom!
The ground collapsed layer by layer. Only the ground that the two of them stood on was still intact. The violent energy caused the eyelids of countless people to twitch.
Those that understood Luo Mang's strength had shock in their eyes. Back then, Luo Mang could become the City Lord of the Demonic Python City because of his punches. Not only did the Demonic Python Physique that he had cultivated possess boundless strength, it was also as sturdy as metal. The toughness of his physical body could be considered as a pinnacle amongst Second Grade Sovereigns. But today, he was actually blocked by a youth with the strength of a First Grade Sovereign.
"Good brat, you do have some ability!
But you're still lacking if you want to deal with me! "
Both fists collided head on. Space fluctuated as Luo Mang laughed in a somewhat ferocious manner. However, there was also some shock in his eyes. This was because he could sense that he was actually unable to gain the slightest upper hand in this physical collision.
Mu Chen slowly raised his head as a smear of a cold smile rose on the corner of his lips. "Really?
Why don't you try the power of the golden body again?! "
Both of his eyes suddenly surged with a golden light. His originally dazzling silver skin had also swiftly turned into a dazzling gold. Looking from afar, it was as if he was forged with gold.
"Get lost!"
Mu Chen's golden fist flew out once again, clashing against Luo Mang's fist. This time, a terrifying energy erupted like a volcano.
Boom!
A loud sound resounded. After which, everyone's eyes shrunk as they saw Luo Mang's body shoot backwards. Finally, he tore a ten thousand feet deep crack on the ground.
Dust rose as the ground was in a sorry state. Countless people sucked in a mouthful of cold air.
That youth actually sent Luo Mang flying with a single fist!
