The Great Ruler

The atmosphere in the Northern Region was elated and fiery. It was due to the appearance of Mu Chen, the mysterious Ruler of the Mu Abode, and his ambition to let the Mu Abode become one of the Overlords of the Northern Domain.

His ambition has caused a significant ripple in the entire Northern Region, causing an uproar in the entire Northern Domain.

In a city in the Northern Region

The inn in this city had also been intense due to the fiery atmosphere in the entire Northern Region.

The hot topic discussed here was also regarding the Mu Abode’s intention in becoming one of the Overlords of the Northern Domain...

"Hmph, I’ll say this, that Abode Ruler is too arrogant. The Northern Domain is vast, and the water runs deep. Although the Mu Abode has unified the Northern Region, it’s around mid-tier in the Northern Domain. The Mu Abode will surely fail to compete with the three powers!"

"At that time, I’m afraid that the rage of the Violet Cloud Sect, Thunder Note Mountain, and Golden Eagle Mansion will turn the entire Northern Region into a river of blood!"

"Peh, although our Abode Ruler is young, he’s talented. Just a moment ago, Three Elders of the Violet Cloud Sect wanted to show their might against our Mu Abode, but they were easily dealt with by our Ruler. According to my view, the strength of our Ruler isn’t inferior to the Violet Cloud Lord, Venerable Thunder Note, and the Golden Eagle Emperor!"

"You’re right, with the ability of our Ruler, there’s no need for us to cower in the Northern Region. So what if there’s a battle? Heh, this daddy’s still worrying about contributions to obtain the Heavenly Lake Cultivation Token this year."

"The Heavenly Lake is truly good stuff. It’s rumored to be a sacred cultivation ground left by the Ancient Haven Palace, and I’ve also heard of the mysterious Hidden Scripture Pavilion. Only those that are blessed with luck can enter one of them, they can even obtain a Greater Divine Ability easily!"

"Heh, although it’s good, we need a life to enjoy them. The power behind those three are Supreme Forces of the Great Thousand World. Even if the Abode Ruler succeeds, our Northern Region will still suffer if those forces are angered."

"It’s not good news that the Abode Ruler wants to bring the entire Northern Region along with him to fulfill his ambition."

"......"

All sorts of discussions have spread within the inn. Mandala had calmly sat down in a corner to listen to those discussions. Beside her, the Sky Vulture Emperor, Liu Tiandao and the rest had their brows knitted.

"Lord Mandala, the entire Northern Region is discussing this matter, and it’s even getting more intense... that doesn’t seem right." The Sky Vulture Emperor said.

During this period, the discussions were like a plague that was spread throughout the Northern Region, and the speed of it was a little too abnormal.

"You’re saying that someone is behind this?" Mandala’s gaze flickered.

The Sky Vulture Emperor slightly nodded his head. "I’m afraid that someone is trying to use this method to waver the hearts of those in our Northern Region."

"It’s the Violet Cloud Sect." Mandala faintly said. She had also sensed this matter, so she had secretly sent someone to investigate about it. Recently, there’s quite a bit of those from the Violet Cloud Sect that have quietly sneaked into the Northern Region and were spread rumors.

Although it cannot shake the foundation of the Mu Abode, it’s detestable. Furthermore, if the Mu Abode returned empty-handed from the Northern Domain Assembly, then it might cause a massive drop in the Mu Abode’s prestige, which might result in the Northern Region splitting up.

If it really came to that, then there might be many forces eyeing them. After all, the Ancient Haven Palace of their Mu Abode had already attracted the attention of many forces.

"Shameless." Liu Tiandao cursed. They have already considered themselves as a member of the Mu Abode, so they were naturally furious at the Violet Cloud Sect’s vile actions.

Mandala waved her hand and coldly said, "Issue the order down to investigate all the cities in the Northern Region. Anyone that is found to be from the Violet Cloud Sect trying to waver the hearts of people in the Northern Region is to be captured and..."

As she spoke, she gently swiped her hand with a cold aura.

Since the Violet Cloud Sect wanted to play, then there’s no need for the Mu Abode to be polite. They’d just kill the ones that the Violet Cloud Sect has sent over.

The hearts of Liu Tiandao and the rest trembled upon hearing her. It looked like Mandala was going to make a significant action to suppress this matter.

"Since Mu Chen wants the Mu Abode to become one of the Overlords, then we will naturally do our best to help. Although he’s needed to deal with the top-tiered fighting force, you guys can help him settle these small matters. Otherwise, why would the Mu Abode need you guys?" Mandala faintly said.

"Yes!" Liu Tiandao and the rest acknowledged.

After a brief silence, Liu Tiandao couldn’t help asking, "Lord Mandala, do you think that the Abode Ruler can compete with existences like the Violet Cloud Lord, Venerable Thunder Note, and Golden Eagle Emperor?"

Evidently, even veterans like Liu Tiandao were nervous about the upcoming assembly. After all, those three were existences that have come in contact with the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, and their fame has already been deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone in the Northern Domain.

Although Mu Chen returned powerfully, his fame was still inferior to those that have been in the Northern Domain for a long time.

When Mandala heard that, she glanced at Liu Tiandao. The latter awkwardly smiled. "Lord Mandala, it’s not that I do not believe in the Abode Ruler, but this matter is too important. The rise or fall of our Mu Abode relies on this, so it’s natural for us to be worried."

Mandala did not blame him, since it was a little sudden for Mu Chen’s decision, while the three Overlords’ reputations have existed in the Northern Domain for a long time. In the past, some forces tried to go against them, but none of them succeeded...

Thus, aside from them, no one was confident that Mu Chen could succeed.

It’s undoubtedly a gamble for Mu Chen. If he could really break the situation between the Violet Cloud Sect, Thunder Note Mountain, and Golden Eagle Mansion, then the Mu Abode might be able to become the sole Overlord of the Northern Domain for real.

In the future, when the time was right, their Mu Abode could even overlook the entire Greatlaw Continent. The moment they succeeded, they would be on the same level as the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Realm, becoming a dominant force in the Great Thousand World.

Naturally, if the three Overlords stopped Mu Chen, and they returned with a loss, it would be a significant blow to the Mu Abode’s morale, which could be considered as destructive. At that time, the Violet Cloud Sect, Thunder Note Mountain, and Golden Eagle Mansion would surely pursue and covet after the Ancient Haven Palace as well.

Under the obstruction, there’s a high chance that the Mu Abode might shatter.

It was a severe consequence, which was the reason why Liu Tiandao and the rest were feeling nervous.

However, Mandala did not appease them, but a faint smile appeared. "What you guys think is none of my business. I only know that Mu Chen is someone chosen by the Heavenly Emperor. At the same time, even the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor acknowledges him and is even willing to form a good relationship with Mu Chen...

"What do you guys feel about their eyesight compared to those three?"

When she finished speaking, she waved her hand and left.

Liu Tiandao and the rest exchanged a look before they sighed and felt a significant load off their hearts. The Heavenly Emperor, Flame Emperor, and the Martial Ancestor, which of them weren’t powerful? How far was their foresight, and they even had a good view of Mu Chen. Thus, that implied the potential that their Abode Ruler possessed.

With such a master, they wouldn’t regret it as long as they followed with their hearts.

...

As time flowed in the Northern Region, the atmosphere grew more intense with the Northern Domain Assembly’s approach. However, due to the secret actions that Mandala has done, the morale in the Mu Abode was high, since those that tried to spread rumors were erased.

However, it was only for the Northern Region. As for the Northern Domain, many people were watching from the sidelines with pity and ridicule.

After all, the Northern Region wasn’t particularly outstanding when compared to the entire Northern Domain. It was chaotic and messy, without being unified. But now, there’s actually an arrogant Abode Ruler that wanted to challenge the authority of the Violet Cloud Sect, Thunder Note Mountain and Golden Eagle Mansion...

In the past, the forces with such ambitions were erased by time, and in their view, the Mu Abode would just become the laughing stock on the Northern Domain Assembly...

While everyone was discussing this matter, the time had also started to approach the Northern Domain Assembly.

The Northern Region’s Mu Abode

The whole headquarters was extremely bustling with countless experts of the Mu Abode gathering over. Evidently, this was the vitality for the current Mu Abode.

Outside one of the halls, Mandala looked at all the boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuations before turning to look in the direction of the Ancient Haven Palace. Her brows were nervously knitted together, Mu Chen hasn’t shown up since his entry to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.

But today was the Northern Domain Assembly, and everyone was already gathered. If Mu Chen didn’t show himself, then this was a huge joke. All the morale that everyone has gathered over the past month would collapse as well.

"That fellow!" Mandala clenched hands and gritted her teeth.

But at that moment, she couldn’t show any worry. She raised her head and looked at the rising sun hanging in the sky. The gathered experts of the Mu Abode have also started to discuss amongst themselves, since Mu Chen still hasn’t shown himself.

Seeing everyone’s hearts wavering, Mandala helplessly sighed in her heart. Just when she wanted to appease everyone, space fluctuated beside her before a slender and youthful figure walked out under everyone’s view.

"We pay our respects to the Abode Ruler!" When that silhouette appeared, an earth-shattering voice welcomed his arrival.

Looking at the large-scaled army, Mu Chen nodded his head before giving a smile at Mandala. He then raised his hand and gently waved out with his voice echoing between the heavens and earth, "Let’s go!"
