Because of the unexpected results, the originally noisy trading area descended into silence. Astonished glances lingered on Mu Chen as they appraised him. Some teams and Sovereigns who had underestimated Mu Chen before now looked solemn as they glanced at him warily. Sure enough, how could people who came to the Ancient Holy Gulf be weak?

Boom!

As many people’s gazes were flickering, the ruins covering Mo Xin suddenly burst apart. Debris scattered as a gloomy figure slowly stepped out. Mo Xin exuded an overpoweringly ominous aura as he glared at Mu Chen with murderous intent. Mo Xin clearly did not think that he would end up being so humiliated in his conflict with Mu Chen.

In his eyes, Mu Chen had always been nothing but a perpetrator of no standing. Although his mother enjoyed a high status in the Budur Ancient Clan, they had been separated from each other since childhood. Thus, Mu Chen had not enjoyed any of the Budur Ancient Clan’s resources. Hence, Mo Xin held contempt for Mu Chen from the bottom of his heart.

Now, he had paid the price for underestimating Mu Chen. In his eyes, this perpetrator, who should have been vulnerable, let him taste the bitter fruit of defeat. “I didn’t expect that I would end up like this. You really surprised me.” Mo Xin wiped the trace of blood at the corners of his mouth, staring at Mu Chen coldly. After this loss, Mo Xin finally began to take this perpetrator of the Budur Ancient Clan seriously.

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. Mo Xin could become a Young Lord of the Budur Ancient Clan because he really had some skills. After suffering a previous defeat, he actually could endure the rage in his heart and face his opponent seriously. That kind of person really was troublesome.

Mu Chen also knew that Mo Xin could be so embarrassed before because he was caught off-guard by his Qi into Trinity. Now that he was prepared, it would not be so easy for him to achieve such a result again. Mu Chen was not regretful in the slightest despite this. Although Mo Xin was no pushover, if it came down to it, Mu Chen would not fear him at all.

“I’m afraid your surprise has just begun.” Mu Chen smiled nonchalantly. Mo Xin’s murderous intention was chilling now, but he showed no sense of backing down. The tense confrontational atmosphere caused the crowd to feel fearful. Looking at this, Mu Chen was bent on clashing with Mo Xin.

“Oh? Then I really want to see it!” Aware of Mu Chen’s provocation, Mo Xin smiled coldly. In the next moment, several lights flashed as three Complete Earthly Sovereigns appeared. They were clearly Sovereigns of the Budur Ancient Clan who were Mo Xin’s subordinates.

The Sovereigns of the Budur Ancient Clan roared at Mu Chen aggressively, “Perpetrator Mu Chen, the audacity of you! How dare you be disrespectful to Young Lord Mo Xin! Surrender now!”

However, as they roared, Long Xiang, who was standing behind Mu Chen, glared furiously at them as he retorted, “Where did these flies come from? How dare you shout at my Young Lord?”

“Pfft, Young Lord? Is a perpetrator entitled to be a Young Lord? Long Xiang, it seems that the more you’ve been practicing over the years, the more you’ve regressed!” The Complete Earthly Sovereigns seemed to know Long Xiang as they mocked him.

“Why don’t we fight to see if I’ve regressed or not?” Long Xiang smiled viciously as he clenched his fist. A powerful storm-like spiritual energy raged.

“Complete Earthly Sovereign?! You have broken through to that rank?” Sensing the spiritual energy that erupted inside Long Xiang, the Complete Earthly Sovereigns were stunned. As far as they knew, Long Xiang had been cut off from training resources within the clan many years ago and was completely marginalized.

He had been hovering around the rank of Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign for many years and had not fully stepped in. He had only followed that perpetrator for a short period of time and actually completed the breakthrough?

Ling Xi’s beautiful face turned cold. Waving her hand, countless spiritual seals shined like stars, melting quickly into the surrounding space. Once the fight erupted, they could immediately transform into a spiritual array.

Luo Li stood beside Mu Chen with spiritual light surging in her eyes. Although she was only a Lower Earthly Sovereign, she seemed to be emitting a dangerous aura.

Both teams at this point were at loggerheads, and a bitter battle was clearly about to break out. The surrounding teams backed away quietly to prevent themselves from being implicated.

However, just as the atmosphere between the two sides became increasingly tense, a crisp voice suddenly rang out. “Mu Chen!” The crowd then saw another team cut into the confrontation as they stood by Mu Chen’s side, staring covetously at Mo Xin and his party. It was Wen Qingxuan’s team who had gone to collect intelligence earlier.

“The Wen’s team?” Mo Xin saw Wen Qingxuan and the others as he frowned. Apparently, he had not expected Mu Chen to be acquaintances with the Wen’s. However, among Wen Qingxuan and her party, only Wen Ziyu had stepped into the rank of Complete Earthly Sovereign. Thus, Mo Xin did not fear them. However, the atmosphere was suddenly disrupted, so Mo Xin gradually calmed down. It was clear that this was not the time to clash with Mu Chen.

After previous exchanges, he was already aware that Mu Chen, who seemed to be a mere Upper Earthly Sovereign, was much stronger than average Complete Earthly Sovereigns. Moreover, Mo Xin had a serious suspicion that Mu Chen also had a more powerful card up his sleeve. If his speculation was true, even if he won and annihilated Mu Chen’s team, he would eventually pay a heavy price.

Surrounded by wolves here, in the distance there was also Xuan Luo, who was secretly observing. Once he found the opportunity, Mo Xin had no doubt that Xuan Luo would screw him over without any hesitation. By then, all his hard work would have benefited Xuan Luo instead. This was something that Mo Xin would hate to see happen.

Huff.

Suppressing his murderous intent, Mo Xin inhaled a deep breath. He concealed his murderous aura as his eyes stared at Mu Chen chillingly. “I will take you back to our clan and hand you over to the Chief Elder for him to deal with you!”

“Be my guest,” Mu Chen sneered coldly.

Mo Xin stared at Mu Chen and turned to leave with a wave of his sleeves.

The Sovereigns of the Budur Ancient Clan looked at each other, apparently not expecting Mo Xin, who was a powerful member of the young generation in the clan, to be humiliated in front of a perpetrator. He even had to endure his anger and retreat for the time being.

They looked at each other as they thought, He is worthy of being Qing Yanjing’s son, indeed. Fortunately, he is a perpetrator. Otherwise, in addition to Xuan Luo, he would be another strong competitor. They then followed Xuan Luo and retreated quickly.

The war that was about to break out had a brave beginning but a weak ending. Many of the teams around felt a sense of disappointment. After all, if the two tigers were fighting each other, one would inevitably be injured, and maybe they would still be able to pick up some opportunities when the time came.

Qing Shuang and Qing Ling were also about to leave. They did not have the idea of greeting Mu Chen. From his lukewarm attitude, it was obvious that he held ill will towards them. But as they turned, they felt a distant look from Mu Chen. He stared at Qing Shuang, nodding slightly as a form of acknowledgement. Apparently, he was aware of their gesture of aid before.

Although Mu Chen kept away from the Budur Ancient Clan, he did not have to resist Qing Shuang and Qing Ling’s good will. Qing Shuang nodded gently at Mu Chen, then left with Qing Ling and the others.

In the distance, Bai Xin’er said, “Come on let’s go, there’s no more fun.”

Xuan Luo smiled as he turned to her. “Miss Xin’er, there is information that I’m afraid you will be very interested in.”

Bai Xin’er blinked her bright eyes as she giggled. “Is it about the four Divine Heavenly Sovereigns?”

Xuan Luo smiled but did not answer as he turned to leave. Bai Xin’er smirked as she followed.

Mu Chen watched these characters leave, and then his fist clenched around a mysterious copper chip. Judging from the previous situation where Mo Xin suddenly struck, he must have sensed something from this copper chip. However, it was definitely not as strong as coming into contact with it. Otherwise, Mo Xin would never have given it up easily. From these circumstances, it must have had something to do with the Budur Ancient Clan, perhaps related to the information of the Ancestor Budur.

I think I’ll have to study it sometime, Mu Chen thought to himself.

“Mu Chen, wherever you go, trouble follows.” Wen Qingxuan teased. They had only just separated for a short time, and Mu Chen had been in the middle of another storm.

Mu Chen smiled and said, “How did it go? Has there been any news?”

What he asked, of course, was about the remains of the four Divine Heavenly Sovereigns, but it was a casual question. He did not expect Wen Qingxuan to be able to get substantial information in such a short time. However, to his surprise, Wen Qingxuan lifted her chin.

“Really?” Mu Chen was surprised. This efficiency was too high, wasn’t it?

Wen Qingxuan nodded seriously. “According to the news, there will be a congregation in the city tomorrow, and at that time, accurate information about the four Divine Heavenly Sovereigns will be made public.”

“Made public?” Mu Chen frowned. Why would someone be willing to divulge such precious information?

“Of course it’s not going to be free.” Wen Qingxuan smiled and then extended five slender fingers at Mu Chen. “The ticket is 50,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.”
