Chapter 1402 - Intimidating All Sides
Furthermore, it was under the condition that they’re holding the advantage.
“Ruler Mu is truly awe-mighty! Do you think that you can face the three of us?” The Dragon Scripture Emperor’s face sank with cold light in his eyes.
Mu Chen casually responded, “Why not?”
As he spoke, spiritual light gushed out of his clones and they took their Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Physique form. As they dazzled, they emanated a boundless might. They’ve clearly stepped into their fighting state.
At this moment, everyone knew that Mu Chen wasn’t fooling around, he really intended to face the three Heavenly Sovereigns.
The three Heavenly Sovereigns coldly looked at Mu Chen, and their hearts trembled. At this moment, they realised that with two Heavenly Sovereign clones, Mu Chen didn’t lack in terms of numbers.
If a fight really broke out today, even if the three of them could win, they would have to pay a great price, which might end with any of them dying.
The consequences were too severe, and none of them could bear the responsibility of that.
They had bitterly cultivated for so many years to step into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. They still haven’t gotten enough glory as a Heavenly Sovereign, and fighting Mu Chen wasn’t a wise choice.
Not to mention that the three of them weren’t truly united. They were competitors in the past. If it wasn’t for Mu Chen, they also wouldn’t have joined forces.
Thus, they did not have trust in their temporary alliance. If the battle broke out and someone ran, then they would all fall into a predicament.
On the contrary, the two clones originated from Mu Chen. Not only did they have a rapport with each other, but the three of them were also completely united. Such confrontation wasn’t something that they could confront.
So if a battle broke out under this situation... the chances of them winning wasn’t high.
Thus, the three of them started to hesitate and fell into silence.
Their silence sent fear to the rest. Even the three Heavenly Sovereigns were intimidated by Mu Chen.
Didn’t that mean that even with the three Heavenly Sovereigns joining hands, they’re fearful of Mu Chen?
Thus, everyone looked at Mu Chen with shock and dense fear in their eyes.
By himself, he had suppressed three Heavenly Sovereigns, and if this matter spreads out, Mu Chen’s name would probably resound throughout the Great Thousand World.
The silence coming from the three Heavenly Sovereigns briefly continued before the Violet Aura Daomaster sighed, “Ruler Mu, aren’t you being a little too much?”
Mu Chen faintly responded, “When the three of you supported the Profound Sky Ancestor to suppress My Mu Abode, you guys weren’t too much then?”
He raised his eyelids and stared at the three of them with indifference. “If I let this go so easily, I’m afraid that my Mu Abode won’t have peace in the future.
“If the three of you want to fight, then I’m welcome to face you guys. If you guys are not willing, then scram as I have said before.”
The Violet Aura Daomaster knitted his brows before he bitterly smiled. Although the resources in the Northern Region weren’t small, his Violet Spiritual Aura Cave was also a supreme force, since this was only one of their assets, and it wasn’t worth them fighting Mu Chen.
In the end, he shook his head. “In that case, the Violet Cloud Sect that’s under my Violet Spiritual Aura Cave will back off from the Northern Region as my apology to Ruler Mu.”
He’s someone that could take what comes; to meet gains or losses with equanimity. Since he knew that the advantage was not on his side, he had decided to let it go. The Mu Abode’s rise was unstoppable, and as long as Mu Chen was there, it’s equivalent to having three Heavenly Sovereigns. It was a force that was stronger than their Violet Spiritual Aura Cave.
Seeing that the Violet Aura Daomaster has taken a step back, Venerable Thunder shook his head. “My Thunder Note Mountain will back off as well.”
When the Dragon Scripture Emperor saw this scene, his eyes coldly flashed. If the two of them didn’t want to participate, then he couldn’t face the three Mu Chens.
Thus, he snorted and sent a hateful glare at Mu Chen while keeping silent. His silhouette had turned into a streak of light and flew off, his actions had represented his choice.
When the Violet Cloud Lord trio saw this, their faces were ashen with defeat. They never expected that even their backings would rather give up on them than fight with Mu Chen.
Without their backing, what qualifications could they have to compete with the Mu Abode? After this matter, there’s no space for them in the Northern Region.
Seeing the choices of the three Heavenly Sovereigns, Mu Chen’s gaze flashed, but he wasn’t too surprised by this matter. That’s because he knew a battle wouldn’t break out. He knew that the three of them, with their own thoughts, wouldn’t dare to fight him.
But it was under the condition that the Profound Sky Ancestor wasn’t rescued. If he was saved, then it would be another situation.
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll not send the three of you off.” Mu Chen cupped his hands and calmly spoke to the three of them.
The Violet Aura Daomaster, Venerable Thunder, and Dragon Scripture Emperor all bore the anger in their stomachs. But in the end, they could only leave, since they would only humiliate themselves if they continued to remain here.
Along with their departure, the pressure that shrouded the heavens and earth gradually disappeared and many people felt massively relieved, while wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.
Mu Chen waved his hand and his clones disappeared, then recalled the pagoda that was in his hand.
When he finished these, he held his hands behind his back and his gaze pierced through to look at those spectating this event from a distance.
Sensing Mu Chen’s piercing gaze, they started to leave and felt pity. If Mu Chen had shown weakness here, then who knew how many people would try to split the Mu Abode. But it was a pity that Mu Chen was too powerful, which pulled the Mu Abode back from the edge of the cliff.
Furthermore, once this matter spreads out, the Mu Abode would become one of the top forces in the Greatlaw Continent. In the future, the Mu Abode might even have the opportunity to seek a place at the top of the Greatlaw Continent and become the Overlord.
Although Mu Chen has fully grown, he would undoubtedly continue to rise like a dragon in the future, and no one could stop him. The Mu Abode would also make use of the commotion and step into the ranks of a supreme force.
When those gazes disappeared, Mu Chen retracted the terrifying pressure around him and descended from the sky before the Mu Abode.
“We welcome the Abode Ruler!” Seeing Mu Chen’s descent, Liu Tiandao and the rest kneeled with revere on their faces.
Mu Chen looked at everyone, and saw that the number in the higher hierarchy has decreased after he left.
Sensing Mu Chen’s gaze, Mandala walked forth. “Under the Profound Sky Ancestor’s pressure for this half-year, many forces that joined us have left.”
When Mu Chen heard that, his face remained calm. “That’s good, let those who flee upon facing danger leave. Even if they stay, they’ll just be a disaster.”
Mandala nodded her head. They were wolves. If they stayed behind, they might be parasites in the Mu Abode instead.
Although the Mu Abode’s strength has fallen, they managed to get rid of some hidden dangers.
“As for those forces that have left, confiscate their territories and expel them from the Northern Region. In the future, if they dare to step into the Northern Region, kill them on sight.” Mu Chen’s gaze flashed with a cold light. If he wanted the Mu Abode to last long, he would have to be fair with punishment and rewards. As for those who abandoned the Mu Abode, he had to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
Hearing Mu Chen’s cold voice, Liu Tiandao and the rest shivered, but rejoiced in their hearts. Fortunately, they persevered and stayed. Otherwise, those unfortunate fellows would be their outcome.
“With punishment, there are also rewards.” Mu Chen turned to look at those who stayed behind and his gaze became more gentle. “As for those confiscated territories, reward them to those who stayed behind according to contribution and merits. The number of Heavenly Lake Tokens that they will receive for the next three years will also increase.”
His words instantly brought joy to everyone who remained behind. One must know that there’s a lot of forces from the Mu Abode that left, and if they’re able to receive those territories, then their power would rise.
Furthermore, if the number of Heavenly Lake Tokens increased, that meant that their disciples and subordinates could enter the Heavenly Lake to cultivate and strengthen themselves.
Thus, everyone couldn’t help respectfully kneeling towards Mu Chen. “We thank the Abode Ruler’s reward!”
When Mandala and Ling Xi saw how Mu Chen used the stick and carrot to subdue everyone, they exchanged a look and smiled. They knew that the moment Mu Chen stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, the rise of the Mu Abode was determined...
This time, no one could stop his ascension.
