"Elder Tianque?"
Up in the sky, Mu Chen looked at Elder Tianque, who had suddenly appeared before him and couldn't help knitting his brows. Could it be that this old fellow was going to personally make a move after seeing that the situation wasn't good?
If that's the case, then wouldn't he be too shameless?
Whoosh!
But just when Mu Chen knitted his brows, whizzing sounds of wind resounded beside him and Mandala, Jiu You, the three Emperors and the rest had appeared. All of them looked at Elder Tianque. Clearly, they were unhappy that he had suddenly interfered in the battle between Mu Chen and Liu Qing.
"Elder Tianque, I respected you as a guest and tolerated you. But don't think that my Great Heaven Domain can be bullied by you as you wish." Mandala said in a cold tone.
Seeing that Mandala was enraged, Elder Tianque did not dare to delay and immediately said, "This time, this old man has overstepped his boundaries. Mu Chen's performance in this battle is truly extraordinary. The title of Overlord amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region is indeed credible."
Behind Elder Tianque, Liu Qing had also swiftly flown over. He did not refute Elder Tianque's words, since he did not have much of an advantage in the previous confrontation.
The fact that Mu Chen could fight with him to this point with his cultivation at Fifth Grade Sovereign was sufficient to prove how outstanding he was. If the battle had continued, then it would be hard for the two of them to stop. That's because, at that time, they could only give it their all. At that time, they wouldn't be able to control their strength and the slightest mistake might cause them to be gravely injured and lose their lives.
Hearing Elder Tianque's words, Mu Chen's tightly knitted brows had loosened up. He did not want to offend the Jiu You Sparrow Clan too much.
Therefore, it was naturally best to stop this kind of confrontation. Moreover, he was also very clear.
Furthermore, he was also clear that even if the battle continued, it wouldn't be easy for him to defeat Liu Qing.
That fellow's fighting strength was at the pinnacle of Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm.
It was even stronger than the Sky Dragon-Tiger that he encountered in the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury. So if this confrontation carried on, it would, at most, result in an internecine outcome.
Elder Tianque calmed everyone down before staring at Mu Chen and asked, "Where did this True Phoenix pressure come from?"
Although the True Phoenix pressure that leaked out from Mu Chen's body was extremely faint, it was extremely obvious for the Nine Netherbird Clan, which also had a trace of the Undying Bird's bloodline flowing in their veins.
In the spirit beast world.
Even amongst the Divine Beasts, True Phoenixes could be considered as pinnacle existences. Every single mature True Phoenix possessed terrifying strength comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign.
Such an existence was extremely rare, even in the Phoenix Clan. The pressure of a True Phoenix wasn't something that an ordinary Phoenix Clan or the Phoenix Clan possessed. Therefore, the True Phoenix's pressure was extremely rare.
Thus, when Elder Tianque and Liu Qing sensed that Mu Chen could emit such a pressure, they were shocked and filled with disbelief.
When Mu Chen heard their words, he was briefly stunned before he said, "This is the Dragon-Phoenix Physique that I have cultivated in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven."
That so-called True Phoenix pressure, he did not feel anything.
However, he did not feel anything. In the past, when he used the Dragon-Phoenix Physique to fight others, his opponents did not seem to be affected by this extremely faint True Phoenix pressure.
It looked like …
This so-called True Phoenix pressure could only be felt by descendants of the Jiu You Sparrow Clan that possessed a trace of the Phoenix's bloodline.
That was why he was able to detect it. If that was the case …
If that's the case, then he should also have a trace of the True Dragon pressure. But only those Divine Beasts that possessed the bloodline of the Dragon Clan could sense it …
"Dragon-Phoenix Haven?"
Elder Tianque knitted his brows. "The Northern Region's Dragon-Phoenix Haven?
I have heard of that place before. It's said that there are True Dragons and Phoenixes that have fallen there. We have also sent our clansmen there in the past. Although we managed to obtain some benefits, we did not obtain a trace of the True Phoenix pressure like you. "
"This is an opportunity that only those that have ascended the tenth step of the Dragon-Phoenix Stairs in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven can obtain, and Mu Chen is the only one that has ascended the tenth step in the past few hundred years." Mandala faintly said.
Elder Tianque was speechless. Judging from the looks of it, he should know about the Dragon-Phoenix Stairs in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. Back then, even those outstanding clansmen that they had sent out had not succeeded. He never expected that Mu Chen would be able to achieve it.
"Elder Tianque, since you have already determined the outcome of the confrontation between Mu Chen and Liu Qing, can you let this matter go?" Jiu You looked at Elder Tianque and said.
Hearing her words, Elder Tianque faintly smiled before he shook his head.
"You!" Seeing this, Nine Nether's brows furrowed and she gritted her teeth.
"Little Jiu You, you should know that this matter is of great importance. Even I can't make the decision by myself."
Elder Tianque sternly looked at Jiu You and continued, "You have the purest bloodline in my Jiu You Sparrow Clan in the past few thousand years. Within our clan, you have the highest possibility of awakening the Undying Bird's Bloodline and completing your evolution to become a genuine Primordial Undying Bird."
"You are the future pillar of the Jiu You Sparrow Clan. Therefore, our Jiu You Sparrow Clan will do our best to get rid of any obstacle that obstructs your path!"
As he spoke, he swept a glance at Mu Chen. The sharpness and decisiveness in his gaze made even Mu Chen feel a chill in his heart.
When Mandala heard his words, her gaze had also contracted. It looked like even she had underestimated the importance of Jiu You in the Jiu You Sparrow Clan. If it was as Elder Tianque had said, then Jiu You had a high chance of becoming a terrifying existence comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign in the future. For a future Heavenly Sovereign, it was sufficient for the Jiu You Sparrow Clan to protect her.
After all, there hasn't been a Heavenly Sovereign in the Jiu You Sparrow Clan for the past few thousand years!
Right now, the Bloodlink Bond between Mu Chen and the Jiu You Sparrow would naturally be considered as a hidden danger by the Jiu You Sparrow Clan. After all, if Mu Chen lost his life, then even if Jiu You could survive, he would have to pay a great price. Who knows, he might not be able to complete his evolution, which was something that the Jiu You Sparrow Clan couldn't bear.
If that's the case, then today's matter would be a little troublesome … Although she wasn't afraid of the Jiu You Sparrow Clan, she had to admit that the foundation of a Spiritual Beast Clan that had existed for tens of thousands of years was much deeper than the Great Heaven Domain.
The Great Heaven Domain was completely relying on her. If she died, then the outcome of the Great Heaven Domain would be the same as the Divine Pavilion. But it wasn't the same for the Jiu You Sparrow Clan. Although they didn't have a Heavenly Sovereign, they had several Earth Sovereigns. So even if Elder Tianque died, it wouldn't be a complete annihilation for the Jiu You Sparrow Clan.
Jiu You's hands were tightly clenched as she stared at Elder Tianque. After a brief moment, she took a deep breath and said, word for word, "If you guys dare to mess around, then don't blame me for messing around."
Hearing the dense threat in Jiu You's words, Elder Tianque's face couldn't help turning dark. He looked at the stubborn Jiu You and wanted to rage. But in the end, he only bitterly smiled and sighed.
"Brat, are you going to hide behind like this?" Elder Tianque looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen gently pulled Jiu You back and faintly smiled towards Elder Tianque. "If this matter really comes to the worst, I can allow you guys to remove the Bloodlink Bond. I know that you guys should have a way to deal with it."
If there was only one way, then he naturally wouldn't drag Jiu You down. That's because if that's the case, then he might even implicate the entire Great Heaven Domain. Even if Mandala would protect him, the price might not be something that she could bear. That was something that Mu Chen wasn't willing to see.
"Mu Chen!"
Jiu You was slightly enraged. The Jiu You Sparrow Clan naturally had a way to remove the Bloodlink Bond. But if that's the case, then it would definitely cause a heavy injury to Mu Chen.
"Heh, that's more like a man."
Elder Tianque chuckled. After that, his expression changed slightly as he said, "Forcefully removing the Bloodline Bond is considered the worst plan. However … there is no need to do that. However, it will still depend on you …"
Hearing the change in tone in Elder Tianque's words, Mu Chen's heart shook. "Elder Tianque, do you have another way?"
Jiu You also stared at Elder Tianque with sparkling eyes. However, there was some doubt in her eyes. She naturally knew about the Bloodlink Bond. Other than forcefully removing it, there was no other way.
"There's naturally no other way to remove the Bloodlink Bond."
Elder Tianque smiled. He looked at the disappointed Mu Chen and smiled again, "However, if you can get the entire Jiu You Sparrow Clan to not object to this, then this matter will naturally be resolved. At that time, you will also be able to obtain the friendship of the Jiu You Sparrow Clan."
Mu Chen immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although he hadn't come into contact with the Jiu You Sparrow Clan, judging from Elder Tianque's reaction earlier, they would definitely not allow him to have the Bloodlink Bond with Jiu You.
Elder Tianque's words were simply making things difficult for Mu Chen.
"Nonsense!" Jiu You also understood the twists and turns. She immediately gritted her teeth and said angrily.
Elder Tianque wasn't bothered by Jiu You's rage and his tone changed. "Jiu You, do you know why the clan has summoned you back?"
Jiu You was stunned before she knitted her brows and shook her head. She had only thought that the clan had sensed something wrong with her bloodline. But judging from Elder Tianque's words, there seemed to be another reason?
Elder Tianque faintly shook his head. "Because the Divine Beast Origin is about to appear."
"Divine Beast Origin?!"
When the words' Divine Beast Origin 'entered her ears, Jiu You squinted her eyes and her face started to fluctuate. In the end, she fell into silence. From the looks of it, she must know what the Divine Beast Origin represented.
