A slender figure stood in the sky above the messy land. Although he was in a somewhat miserable state after experiencing a huge battle, the youth's bright and sharp eyes caused the hearts of many experts present to freeze. After personally witnessing that shocking battle, it was likely that no one would dare to underestimate him.
The entire region was silent as countless gazes were absent-mindedly looking at that silhouette, as if they still hadn't recovered from the final battle.
The silence lasted for a long time, before countless gazes started to heat up. Shortly after, earth-shattering cheers rang out from the Great Heaven Domain's camp.
Who would have thought that what was supposed to be the most inconspicuous battle would decide the outcome of the war between the two factions!?
The various Kings also felt heavily relieved as a charming smile appeared on Jiu You's face. She looked at the silhouette in the distant sky and felt gratified. The tender youth in the past was also growing at a shocking speed.
Xu Qing and Zhou Yue exchanged a look as they lightly sighed in the end with a smear of admiration in their eyes. If Mu Chen had defeated Wu Tian in the past, it made them view him with more importance. But this time, the two of them, who were prideful in their hearts, were completely convinced by Mu Chen.
That's because they knew that if they were in Mu Chen's shoes, they would have already been defeated by Qin Bei, not to mention that they had to withstand such a huge pressure to turn the situation around.
Not far away from the two of them, Wu Tian of the Blood Hawk Hall's face was alternating between green and white. He was a little resentful, since he understood that in the future, the gap between him and Mu Chen would only grow wider.
The cheers from the Great Heaven Domain's camp were the loudest.
It was none other than the Jiu You Palace. At this moment, even Tang Bing, who had always been cold, had her face flushed red as she looked at the silhouette in the distance with sparkling eyes.
Ever since the Jiu You Palace was established, it was the first time that their Jiu You Palace had enjoyed such glory in the Great Heaven Domain.
"Haha, the Region Lord really has sharp eyes."
The Sky Vulture Emperor smiled with his eyes narrowed at this scene. Mu Chen was brought back by Nine Nether, so the Sky Vulture Emperor had some expectations for him.
"Indeed, not bad." Even the Sleeping Emperor, who didn't speak much, smiled at this moment as he evaluated.
The Great Havenlaw Ruler sat on the throne as the light around him fluctuated for a moment, before laughter resounded, "This kid's potential isn't small. Jiu You has brought back a true genius for our Great Heaven Domain."
He could tell.
He was extremely satisfied with Mu Chen's performance.
While the people of the Great Heaven Domain were cheering, the people of the Realm of a Hundred Battles were in a state of depression and silence. Countless experts looked livid.
He must have never expected that he would lose a game that he was sure to win.
The Sword Concealing Elder, Corpse Mountain Ghost and the rest didn't have a good expression on their faces. They had already estimated that their chances of winning weren't small, which was the reason why they brought it up.
The results of the first two rounds were within their expectations. Only the third round was out of their control.
With Qin Bei's strength, he should be able to sweep through all the Domain Lords of the Great Heaven Domain, including Xu Qing.
Even Zhou Yue couldn't confront him. But who could have expected that a new Domain Lord, Mu Chen, would suddenly appear?
This bet concerned millions of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids and thousands of cities. If they lost this bet, even a massive force like the Hundred Battles Domain would have to pay the price.
If they lost this bet, even a massive force like the Hundred Battles Domain would feel extreme heartache.
The Sword Concealing Elder and the rest eerily stared at Mu Chen. They looked as if they couldn't wait to tear the latter apart.
"The three battles have come to an end. My Great Heaven Domain has won two and lost one. Your Hundred Battles Domain, prepare the million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid and thousands of cities as soon as possible. Don't make me come personally to ask for it."
The Great Havenlaw Ruler's faint voice resounded, which caused the hearts of everyone in the Hundred Battles Domain to tremble.
The Sword Concealing Elder and Corpse Mountain Ghost clenched their teeth as they looked at Liu Tiandao. At this moment, the latter's face was as dark as water. His eyes were flickering, but he wasn't looking at them. He was looking at Mu Chen.
Sensing his gaze, Mu Chen felt a chill rising on his skin and alertness rose in his heart.
"Haha!"
Liu Tiandao finally faintly smiled as he said, "Since we've lost, then we naturally have to keep to our promise."
The Sword Concealing Elder and the rest could only nod their heads with heartache. With the character of the Great Havenlaw Ruler, if they didn't keep to their word, then the Hundred Battles Domain would probably pay a greater price.
"Looks like Sect Master Liu keeps to his words." The Great Havenlaw Ruler faintly smiled.
Liu Tiandao smiled, but he did not continue the Great Havenlaw Ruler's words. His sharp gaze that seemed to be able to see through others looked at Mu Chen and slowly said, "But this Sect Master has some matters that I would like to ask this Commander of the Great Heaven Domain, Mu Chen."
Hearing his sudden words, Mu Chen's heart trembled as a chill surged out. That fellow suddenly made things difficult for him, could it be that he knew about Liu Ming?
Behind him, Jiu You's face slightly changed as her gaze flickered.
"I wonder what Sect Master Liu wants to ask?" Although he felt nervous in his heart, Mu Chen still maintained a calm expression on his face.
"Half a year ago, my son went to the Merchant Continent and bought a Divine Art known as the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art at a high price. However, he disappeared on the way back. Even the two Elders that were protecting him in the dark and in the light had disappeared along with him."
Liu Tiandao's faint voice resounded in the sky, causing the temperature in this region to slowly drop.
The Sword Concealing Elder and the rest looked at Liu Tiandao in astonishment. They could feel that the latter's words weren't right, so their gazes flickered as they looked at Mu Chen.
Although they didn't know what the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art was, the powerful Divine Art that Mu Chen had executed seemed to be similar to it.
"After my investigation, I realised that my son and the two Elders were suppressed underground, and the one that suppressed them should have reached the Earth Sovereign Realm."
Liu Tiandao said without any expression on his face, "And now, the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art has appeared in your hands. Can you explain that?"
Mu Chen's heart trembled. This Liu Tiandao was indeed formidable, to actually be able to detect the location that Liu Ming was suppressed in.
"Although the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art is rare, it's not unique. Since I can obtain it, I naturally have my own fortune. Could it be that Sect Master Liu thinks that the Earth Sovereign Realm expert was invited by me?
I don't have such capability. "Mu Chen said. At this moment, he naturally wouldn't admit it.
Otherwise, if Liu Tiandao were to go crazy, it wasn't something that he could bear.
"Really?"
Liu Tiandao looked at Mu Chen without any emotions in his eyes as he coldly smiled.
Thereafter, he waved his hand and the space behind him suddenly tore apart, forming into a spatial passage. Thereafter, a spiritual light shot out from the passage, forming into two silhouettes that stood behind Liu Tiandao.
Mu Chen directed his gaze over. When he saw one of the silhouettes, his face instantly turned unsightly. That's because that person was Liu Ming, who was suppressed by Lin Jing's mother!
That fellow was actually rescued!
Beside Liu Ming.
There was also a white-clothed man standing with his hands behind his back. His appearance was somewhat similar to Liu Ming, but his bearing wasn't something that the latter could be compared to.
"Ming 'er.
Do you know this person? "Liu Tiandao faintly said.
Liu Ming raised his head and fixed his gaze onto Mu Chen. Thereafter, his eyes were filled with endless resentment as he chuckled, "Haha, brat, you've really made it hard for me to find you!"
Mu Chen's heart sank to the depths.
The experts from both sides understood what was going on. It seemed that Mu Chen had once made a move against Liu Ming, and even caused him to be sealed.
Furthermore, she had even caused him to be sealed. In the end, her actions were not clean, and now she had been recognized.
The Hundred Battles Domain was rejoicing in Liu Ming's misfortune, while many experts from the Great Heaven Domain had grave expressions on their faces.
If this matter wasn't handled well, they would probably break off their relationship with the Sky Profound Palace. The consequences of that was even more severe than starting a war with the Hundred Battles Domain. After all, both sides could be considered as peak forces.
"The Earth Sovereign Realm expert that you've invited does have some means.
I couldn't break it by myself, so I had to spend a large sum of money to invite a great figure to help me rescue my son. However, after I rescued him, his meridians were almost completely destroyed, and his Spiritual Energy had completely dissipated. Although he was able to recover by relying on spirit pills, his achievements in this life are limited. "
Liu Tiandao faintly smiled, but the killing intent that was filled in his laughter could no longer be concealed.
"You're the one that caused Liu Ming's Spiritual Energy to be crippled?"
At this moment, the white-clothed man before Liu Ming lightly frowned his brows as he stared at Mu Chen and casually said, "Since that's the case, then cripple your Spiritual Energy."
When he finished speaking, the white-clothed man's figure suddenly trembled and he had mysteriously appeared before Mu Chen. A jade fan appeared in his hand, swiftly pointing towards the centre of Mu Chen's brows.
The white-clothed man had revealed an extremely shocking strength the moment he made his move. Furthermore, Mu Chen had experienced a great battle and his Spiritual Energy had already been exhausted. Facing this attack, he actually couldn't avoid it.
However, Mu Chen wasn't someone that would sit and wait for his death. Just when he was about to circulate his Spiritual Energy, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared before him. Her slender jade-like finger pointed out and clashed with the jade fan.
Boom!
A shocking Spiritual Energy exploded from the point of collision. The figure lightly trembled, while the white-clothed man retreated ten-odd steps. The jade fan in his hand opened up with a rustle as scarlet flames blazed on the surface of the fan. His cold gaze was looking at the figure before Mu Chen.
"Liu Ming said that there's a powerful woman that's together with Mu Chen. I believe it must be you." The white-clothed man stared at Jiu You, who had appeared before Mu Chen, as he slowly said.
Jiu You stood before Mu Chen with a cold expression. However, Mu Chen could see that she couldn't help clenching her fists. It looked like this matter had exceeded Jiu You's expectations.
Liu Tiandao waved his hand and obstructed the white-clothed man. He indifferently looked at Mu Chen and Jiu You, before shifting his gaze towards the Great Havenlaw Ruler, who had not spoken a single word. "The two of them crippled my son, this enmity isn't small. I hope that the Great Havenlaw Ruler can hand them over to me today. As repayment, my Sky Profound Palace is willing to give 2,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Furthermore, I can promise you that my Sky Profound Palace will not make a move against your Great Heaven Domain in the Hunting War."
Rustle.
When Liu Tiandao's words came out, not only were the Hundred Battles Domain shocked, even the experts of the Great Heaven Domain had their hearts jolted. That's because the conditions that Liu Tiandao had given was too tempting. Not to mention 2,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, just the fact that he wouldn't make a move against the Great Heaven Domain in the Hunting War was sufficient to tempt the higher-ups of the Great Heaven Domain. Everyone knew that the Hunting War concerned the survival of peak forces like them. If they provoked a powerful enemy like the Sky Profound Palace, no one would feel uneasy.
Probably not even the Great Havenlaw Ruler could reject such conditions. Furthermore, the crucial point was that they only needed to pay the price of Mu Chen and Jiu You. In the view of many people, there wasn't even a need to consider such a choice!
Jiu You's face had also changed at this moment. She never thought that Liu Tiandao would hate them so much to the point that he was willing to pay such a price. Furthermore, Jiu You had always been a rational person, so she was also clear that this sort of temptation was fatal to any force.
Her cold hand gently held onto Mu Chen's hand as she said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "If anything happens, we will flee at full speed!"
Mu Chen's face was a little dark. Jiu You had clearly thought of the worst. Before absolute benefits, the unfathomable and unfathomable Great Havenlaw Ruler would probably abandon them.
Even if he had just performed a meritorious deed for the Great Heaven Domain.
This was the cruel Greatlaw Continent and not the nostalgic Hokuang Reiwon. There wasn't anyone like Dean Tai Cang that could tell him that no matter what, Hokuang Reiwon would be his backing.
The atmosphere in this region was so tense that it was suffocating.
Liu Tiandao's gaze was fixed on the Great Havenlaw Ruler. He did not place Mu Chen and Jiu You in his eyes. Furthermore, he was confident that as long as the Great Havenlaw Ruler was rational, he would definitely not reject his conditions. A puny King Jiu You and an even puny Commander weren't worth mentioning in their eyes!
Under the countless gazes in this region, the lustre around the Great Havenlaw Ruler, who was seated on the throne, finally fluctuated for a moment before an ethereal voice resounded, "Haha, what a tempting price!"
Mu Chen and Jiu You's faces changed once again as the Spiritual Energy in their bodies surged.
"However …" A ridiculing gaze shot out from the light around the Great Havenlaw Ruler as his hoarse voice resounded in this region, causing innumerable people to be dumbfounded.
"I refuse!"
