The people were stunned when they saw the incredible scene. When Mu Chen’s voice resounded in the mountains, he broke the silence in the area and all of them returned to their senses…

Mu Chen has won!

He has defeated the Xuan lineage based on his strength alone. He has snatched back the Qing lineage’s seat in the Elder Academy!

He is so tough!

The people broke out into an uproar after keeping silent for a while. All of the leaders of the top powers looked gravely at Mu Chen, as even the sight of him filled then with fear. Apparently, the combat force that Mu Chen had displayed was too astounding.

He was currently at the initial stage of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign level, but he had been able to defeat a God Grade Heavenly Grade. In the future, when he stepped into the God Grade Heavenly Sovereign level, he would be invincible and second only to the Divine Heavenly Sovereign!

Many of the top powers began whispering among themselves, gloating over the misfortuned of the Budur Ancient Clan…

“The Budur Ancient Clan is ridiculous. They have pronounced such an amazing genius as a perpetrator! He is destined to advance to the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level. If he were in some other place, he would have long been groomed as their pillar!”

“Ha. These ancient clans boast about the purity of their bloodlines, but they are so pedantic.”

When the clan members heard what was being said, they all turned pale. They could only keep mum, as Mu Chen was indeed a perpetrator in the Budur Ancient Clan!

Xuan Guang looked gloomy as he clenched his fists. Mu Chen had embarrassed the Xuan lineage in front of so many people.

“Scourge. You have messed up our plan!” Xuan Guang was extremely furious.

After all, the Xuan lineage had planned for so many years to pull the Qing lineage down, and just as they were about to succeed, Mu Chen had appeared and messed everything up!

However, Xuan Guang could not do anything to Mu Chen. Out of the seven rounds, their Xuan lineage had lost four rounds. Thus, they had to hand over one seat. These were the rules of the Contest of the Lineages, which he had to adhere to.

As a light flickered in Xuan Guang’s eyes, he lifted his head to look at the First Elder and said, “We admit defeat and will give up one seat. However, Mu Chen is a perpetrator, yet he has become the Head of the Qing lineage. This is against the rules, so I suggest that the Elder Academy calls for a meeting to remove him from this position immediately.”

Since Mu Chen was currently the Head of the Qing lineage, they were unable to deal with him. However, once they removed this title from him, they could capture him openly as a perpetrator.

“Our Qing lineage opposes this action!” Qing Tian shouted and turned pale when he heard this proposal. Apparently, he knew exactly what Xuan Guang was scheming.

“Our Mo lineage is in favor of it!” the Head of the Mo lineage, Mo Tong, said.

The Xuan lineage and the Mo lineage had been joining forces to suppress the Qing lineage. Hence, he would not want Mu Chen to break the rules of the clan. Moreover, he was wary of the power that Mu Chen had displayed, so he figured that it would be better to deal with him quickly.

Xuan Guang and Mo Tong looked at the other lineages, and when the elders of the other lineages saw their oppressive looks, they succumbed to the pressure and nodded in agreement as well. When Budur Xuan saw what had happened, he furrowed his brows.

Ultimately, he nodded and said, “Since more than 70 percent of the elders have agreed to this course of action, according to the rules, we can have a formal meeting any time to let the motion pass.”

When Xuan Guang heard this, he curled up his lips into a cold smile. Mu Chen looked coldly at the scene and laughed unexpectedly.

After pondering it for a while, he said “You can save yourselves the trouble of going through the meeting to kick me out. I am not in the least interested in becoming the Head of the Qing lineage. I have gotten myself involved with you all only in order to get some benefits from your Xuan lineage.”

Having said that, he waved his sleeve and sent the Qing Lineage Head Token Amulet flying toward Qing Tian. As Qing Tian took the Token Amulet, he had a perplexed look on his face.

Apparently, Mu Chen was not interested in the position. Although he did not hate the Qing lineage, he felt quite distant from them.

When Xuan Guang saw Mu Chen’s action, he was shocked for a while. He then smiled coldly and was glad that Mu Chen had saved them some trouble.

“First Eder, Mu Chen is a perpetrator. According to the rules, we should capture him and then…” Xuan Guang wasted no time in seeking to blame Mu Chen.

“You can do away with your rules. Today, I am here to do one thing, and that is to bring my mother away with me. After today, I will have nothing more to do with your Budur Ancient Clan.” Mu Chen interrupted him before Xuan Guang could finish what he had to say.

After Mu Chen had made his statement, the whole area grew silent. Many of the top powers turned pale. Earlier on, it was appropriate for Mu Chen to challenge the Xuan lineage. However, this time around, he was challenging the entire Budur Ancient Clan!

“This guy is too audacious. How dare he say such a thing?” one of the top powers asked incredulously.

The top powers all looked at one another in amazement. They could indistinctly feel that the highlight of the day was about to happen.

Apparently, when Mu Chen had defeated the Xuan lineage, it was only the appetizer. His real intention had now been revealed! This day, Mu Chen seemed determined to create havoc for the Budur Ancient Clan.

However, they could not understand why Mu Chen had the audacity to challenge the Budur Ancient Clan, as he was only at the initial stage of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign. As such, he would surely be courting his own death!

Xuan Guang was taken aback by what Mu Chen had said. However, he quickly recovered from his shock and began to gloat.

After all, Mu Chen was still young and reckless. Since he had the audacity to make such a remark, the First Elder would surely not stand by and do nothing about it. True enough, when he lifted up his head, he saw that Budur Xuan’s face had indeed darkened.

“Presumptuous!” Budur Xuan shouted.

His cold voice was filled with anger, and the entire area became silent. He had displayed the domineering power of a Divine Heavenly Sovereign!

However, Mu Chen just ignored Budur Xuan. He lifted up his eyes and looked flatly at him, showing no signs of fear.

“You are a perpetrator, but you have behaved so recklessly, all because you have acquired some abilities! Who do you think you are?” Budur Xuan asked him angrily. “Moreover, Qing Yanjing has gone against our rules, so she is a sinner. Who are you to say that you will bring her away?”

Mu Chen’s eyes turned cold as he replied harshly, “Old man, I have never acknowledged that I belong to your Budur Ancient Clan. You can leave the name of ‘perpetrator’ to describe yourself!”

Mu Chen detested the stubborn old man. If it was not for Budur Xuan, he would not have been separated from his mother for so many years. Thus, he did not hesitate to be rude to Budur Xuan.

The people of the Budur Ancient Clan were stunned by Mu Chen’s words. After all, the First Elder held a high position in the Budur Ancient Clan and was highly respected by everyone. None of the Lineage Heads would ever have had the audacity to enrage him, but Mu Chen had addressed him as an old man!

“Presumptuous! You are such a rude child!” Budur Xuan was fuming with anger.

He then shouted, “Guys, capture him! I shall see how capable you are, since you wish to save Qing Yanjing from our Budur Ancient Clan!”

“Yes!” Xuan Guang and Mo Tong both shouted out in unison, as they were elated when they heard this. They immediately stood up to lead the top powers from their lineages to capture Mu Chen.

“Mu Chen is too presumptuous. He has enraged Budur Xuan, and now that the entire Budur Ancient Clan is against him, he cannot possibly contend with them all!” one of the top powers said.

When the rest of the top powers saw what had happened, they also shook their heads. However, just as the top powers from the Xuan lineage and the Mo lineage were about to whizz out, they heard a peel if laughter roar out in the area, while a voice was heard saying, “Mu Chen is the friend of the Endless Fire Territory and the Martial Border. We will not allow you to bully him.”

When the top powers heard the voice, they turned to look at the mountain peak where the voice had come from. Two people were standing there, their hands placed behind their backs. One of them was an elderly man, while the other man was very beautiful.

When the elders of the Budur Ancient Clan saw these two people, they immediately halted their actions against Mu Chen. Then, the entire area went into an uproar…

“That is Elder Yao Chen! He is the Flame Emperor’s teacher…”

“That is Lin Diao. He is the Second Chief of the Martial Border. He is the Martial Ancestor’s sworn brother.”

“No wonder Mu Chen is not afraid of the Budur Ancient Clan. He has invited such great powers to help him. He is amazing!”

“You are right. Mu Chen is awesome.”

The top powers were all shocked. The Endless Fire Territory and the Martial Border were well-known in The Great Thousand World. In fact, they were the supreme powers, comparable to the five big ancient clans!

Xuan Guang and Mo Tong were also stunned when they saw Yao Chen and Lin Diao. They had never expected that the Endless Fire Territory and the Martial Border would help Mu Chen to the extent of offending the Budur Ancient Clan!

“Crap. This perpetrator has even got the Endless Fire Territory and the Martial Border to support him!” Xuan Guang exclaimed.

He and Mo Tong instantly regretted not dealing with Mu Chen earlier. Now that he was so powerful, even they were becoming wary of him.

They looked at each other and waited for the reaction of the First Elder. Since the Endless Fire Territory and the Martial Border had poked their nose into this matter, they would have to wait and see if the First Elder would take it lying down.

They lifted up their heads to look at Budur Xuan. They saw that his face had darkened and that he was looking sharply at Yao Chen and Lin Diao. Although he was a Divine Heavenly Sovereign, Yao Chen and Lin Diao were calm when they met his gaze.

“Are the Endless Fire Territory and the Martial Border setting yourselves against our Budur Ancient Clan because of this perpetrator?” Budur Xuan asked them in a deep voice.

Yao Chen smiled and replied, “Mu Chen and my disciple are good friends. As such, I hope that your Budur Ancient Clan will not oppress him with your power.”

Lin Diao stood with his hands placed behind his back and looked cold. Although he did not say a word, he made his position quite clear.

The entire area was dead silent. All of the top forces dared not say a word. After all, if this got out of hand, the three supreme powers might get into a battle, and when that happened, it would shock the entire Great Thousand World!

Budur Xuan’s eyes looked profound as he stared at Yao Chen and Lin Diao. Then, after a long while, his cold voice resounded, “If I insist on capturing this perpetrator, what can you do about it?”
