In the Great Thousand House, Mu Chen looked at the lady in the royal gown in amazement. He realized that she resembled his mother. He had mixed feelings, as the lady was his aunt!

“Little Lord, Elder Qing Xuan is indeed from the Qing family, and she is related to you,” Long Xiang said softly. Although he had been banned from the Budur Ancient Clan, he still knew about the clan’s affairs.

“However…” Long Xiang paused for a while and said, “Master’s relationship with the Qing family is not very good…”

Although Long Xiang was not explicit, Mu Chen knew that it could be related to him. He then calmed down and pushed away any wishful thoughts that he might have. It did not matter if the lady and his mother were sisters.

He then appeared nonchalant.

He noticed that Elder Qing Xuan was looking at him, so he lifted up his head to look at her for a while before looking away. After sizing Mu Chen up, Elder Qing Xuan’s face turned soft as she saw his resemblance to his mother.

When she saw Mu Chen’s nonchalant look, her eyes dimmed, and she looked cold again. She turned to look at the two elders and said flatly, “I am just reminding you of the rules that the First Elder has set. If you want to violate them, by all means, go ahead. However, you will have to bear the consequences.”

The two elders’ expressions changed when they heard that. They knew what Elder Qing Xuan meant. The First Elder had set up this rule after he had exchanged blows with Qing Yanjing. Qing Yanjing’s attainment in spiritual arrays had reached an amazing level. Although the Budur Ancient Clan could deal with her given their strong foundation, they would have to pay a high price, and it was something that they would not be able to bear.

The two elders looked at each other and felt sore. The perpetrator was standing before them, but they could not deal with him. The two of them snorted and looked coldly at Mu Chen and said, “Count yourself lucky today. However, I suggest that you surrender yourself to the clan and not let your mother suffer!”

Cold light surged in Mu Chen’s eyes. He looked fearlessly at the two Heavenly Sovereigns and sneered. “Don’t worry, I will be there, but not to surrender myself. I will be there to look for my mother. If you dare to stop me then, I will create havoc in your clan!”

When he said that, the entire area became silent.

Everyone widened their eyes to look at Mu Chen. They had not expected an Upper Earthly Sovereign to have the guts to make such a comment to the Budur Ancient Clan. He seemed to think too highly of himself.

“This guy is too presumptuous.” Granny He curled up her lips. Even the Wen’s were wary of the Budur Ancient Clan, but Mu Chen was only an Upper Earthly Sovereign. He was like an ant to the Budur Ancient Clan.

Wen Qingxuan pursed her lips and looked oddly at Mu Chen before saying, “Aunt He, do you know that many years ago when Mu Chen was at the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, he was not even at the Sovereign-level. However… he is now an Upper Earthly Sovereign.

“An Upper Earthly Sovereign may be nothing in your eyes, and there is still a disparity between him and the geniuses that we are grooming, let alone the Little Lords of the Budur Ancient Clan. However, according to what I know, he did not have any support or available resources from any of the top forces. He has earned whatever he has today with his own hands.

“I don’t think that the geniuses from our family or the Budur Ancient Clan can be like him, so please don’t look down on him, or you will regret it in the future.”

“Oh?” After hearing what Wen Qingxuan had said, Granny He became silent. If what Wen Qingxuan had said was true, Mu Chen indeed had great potential. Someday, he might even become a Heavenly Sovereign.

The Scarlet Flame Deity suddenly laughed out loud. “Hahaha, young man, I love your guts!” He patted Mu Chen on his shoulder and said, “If you did not have the bloodline of the Budur Ancient Clan, I would have tried all means to get you join our clan. Hahaha!”

The elder in the silver robe sneered. “Ha, audacious!”

The people from the Budur Ancient Clan stared mockingly at Mu Chen. He was just an Upper Earthly Sovereign, but he was so presumptuous to comment that he would create havoc in the Budur Ancient Clan.

Mu Chen gradually calmed down and did not argue further with the silver-robed elder. He moved back half a step and looked nonchalant. The truth would speak for itself, and there was no point in talking too much. He was no longer the frail youth who had to run away from the Budur Ancient Clan. Now, he possessed the means to contend with the Heavenly Sovereigns, and he was not afraid of them.

“Elder Scarlet Flame, let’s go,” Mu Chen said as he turned to look at the Scarlet Flame Deity.

The Scarlet Flame Deity smiled and nodded. He then headed toward the exit of the Great Thousand House, with Mu Chen and Luo Li following closely behind him. Mu Chen brushed past Elder Qing Xuan and headed straight out. Kinship was nothing to him. They were simply strangers, and he did not need their help. All these years, he was used to being alone.

Elder Qing Xuan looked at Mu Chen and had mixed feelings. She clenched her fists and smiled bitterly within herself. Sister, your child is so stubborn like you…

“Ha, that brat! He is so presumptuous and full of himself!” Elder Mo Yin stormed after Mu Chen had left. Apparently, Mu Chen had enraged him.

“Elder Mo Yin, you’d better watch your tongue. As an elder of the Budur Ancient Clan, bullying a younger one does not reflect well on you. If you have the guts, say that in front of my sister!” Elder Qing Xuan shouted when she heard what Elder Mo Yin had said.

Elder Mo Yin was stunned. Even the First Elder had been beaten by Qing Yanjing on several occasions. If he dared to make such a remark before her, the First Elder would not be able to protect him. That woman is scary when she protects her child, and all the elders are aware of it.

Elder Mo Yin turned pale and shouted, “Are we letting the perpetrator escape under our noses?”

“Hohoho, of course not, Elder Mo Yin,” the man in green behind Elder Hei Guang said and laughed.

“The First Elder has said that the Heavenly Sovereigns are not allowed to deal with him, but he did not say that a Complete Earthly Sovereign cannot.”

The man in green smiled and said, “He is just an Upper Earthly Sovereign. It would be naïve of him to think that he can escape from us.”

The man in green by the name of Xuan Luo said flatly, “Elders, I promise you that by the time we leave the Holy Gulf Continent, we will bring the perpetrator back with us and let the First Elder deal with him.”

“In that case, let’s see which of us manages to capture the perpetrator,” said the man in the black Kashaya robe.

Xuan Luo shrugged and said with a smile, “Mo Xin, since you wish to compete with me on this, let’s see who will capture the perpetrator.”

The two of them spoke lightly about it, and did not take Mu Chen to heart. They saw him as an easy target.

When Elder Mo Yin and Elder Hei Guang heard it, they nodded. If Xuan Luo and Mo Xin stepped out, the perpetrator would not be able to escape from them.

Elder Qing Xuan’s heart sank. Xuan Luo and Mo Xin were prominent figures among the younger generation in the Budur Ancient Clan. If they were to deal with Mu Chen, he would be in dire straits.
