The Great Ruler

At this moment, Tang Qian’er’s mood was terrible. After Mu Chen left the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, she chose to remain in the spiritual academy. Through her hard work and talent, she managed to step into the Eighth Grade Sovereign Realm and has also been promoted to the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy’s Vice-Dean.

After her promotion, she requested a brief vacation from the spiritual academy to look for her father in the Northern Spiritual Realm. But when she returned, she bumped into the King Ceremony, and because her father, Tang Shan, had to follow Mu Feng, she naturally followed, since she’s someone that liked liveliness.

But it was at this time, trouble occurred. A few days ago, when she followed Mu Feng and the rest to meet the Hundred Spirit King, the latter had taken a fancy of her and has been hinting at her recently. However, all of it refused by her.

It was precisely because of this that caused the Hundred Spirit King to be unhappy, and he even restricted their party’s freedom, intending to threaten her into submission.

This was the reason why her mood was terrible.

“Daughter...” Tang Shan wore a bitter smile behind Mu Feng. He looked at the tranquil Tang Qian’er, who would occasionally grasp her hand. He naturally knew that she was feeling terrible, so he started to blame himself. “It’s all my fault for wanting you to come along.”

Tang Shan treated his daughter like his treasure. Back then, when he sent her to the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, he never expected that she would be so talented and step into the Eighth Grade Sovereign Realm, which could be considered as the strongest amongst those in the Northern Spiritual Realm.

Furthermore, Tang Qian’er even became the Vice-Dean, which made even Mu Feng, who’s the Northern Spiritual Alliance’s head, pale in comparison.

Just when he was feeling happy for his daughter, he never expected that this situation would occur...

With the Hundred Spirit King’s status, he also got to know many beauties. But facing Tang Qian’er, who was the Vice-Dean of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, he couldn’t help being attracted.

Patting Tang Shan’s shoulder, Mu Feng turned to Tang Qian’er. “Qian’er, try your best to find the opportunity to leave. The Hundred Spirit King won’t do anything to us with his status. At most, we will just dissolve the Northern Spiritual Alliance...”

He had watched Tang Qian’er grow up, and she grew up together with Mu Chen. So he naturally wouldn’t want to see her suffer.

Tang Qian’er sighed. She heard that the Hundred Spirit King didn’t seem to be someone with a breadth of mind. So if she leaves here, he would surely take it out on her father and Mu Feng.

“I can’t let anything happen to Uncle Mu. Otherwise, how will I explain it to Mu Chen in the future?” Tang Qian’er clenched her hands and her gaze flickered. She had decided to find a chance and leave with her father and Uncle Mu. As the Vice-Dean of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, she naturally possessed some means to escape and shake the Hundred Spirit King off.

But if she did that, the Northern Spiritual Alliance that Uncle Mu and her father had put so much effort in would be dissolved, and she wouldn’t be able to return to the Northern Spiritual Realm, either.

Thinking about it, she felt reluctance because she had many memories there.

While she was thinking, the atmosphere was suddenly raised in the hall with everyone standing up and looking at the seat with respectful gazes.

Under the escort of many gorgeous-looking servants, a silhouette with a robust bearing appeared. He wore golden robes and had a slender silhouette. He had a handsome appearance, but his slander eyes had a trace of femininity.

As he walked, he emanated a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation that had reached the Lesser Earth Sovereign Realm.

Standing behind that golden-robed man were two black-robed elders who followed behind him.

“We pay our respects to the Hundred Spirit King!” When the man appeared, everyone greeted.

With a smile, the Hundred Spirit King sat in his seat and pressed his hand down with a smile. “Have a seat, everyone.”

Everyone instantly expressed their gratitude before sitting down, and their respectful attitudes had caused the Hundred Spirit King’s lips to rise.

He looked down at the hall like a king before his gaze stopped on a silhouette in the direction of the Northern Spiritual Alliance.

“Haha, Miss Qian’er, are you satisfied with my Hundred Spirit City these days?” The Hundred Spirit King smiled, paying no attention to the rest, and said to Tang Qian’er.

With a calm expression, Tang Qian’er responded, “I’ve already witnessed how flourishing Hundred Spirit City is. But as the Vice-Dean of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay for long, since many things are waiting for me.”

She sounded her refusal once again, and at the same time, she had taken out the Myriad Phoenix Spirit Academy in hopes that the Hundred Spirit King would tone it down.

The Hundred Spirit King chuckled. How could he not hear the meaning in Tang Qian’er’s words? Holding onto a jade cup before him, he laughed, “I’ll not beat around the bush. I have fallen for you at first sight, and I hope that Miss Qian’er can stay behind to manage the Hundred Spirit Continent together with me.”

His words had instantly caused a commotion in the hall with everyone looking at Tang Qian’er with envy. In their eyes, it was merely a step towards the heavens.

However, Tang Qian’er couldn’t help clenching her fist with fury at the Hundred Spirit King. But she was no longer that fearless little girl from before. Thus, she took a deep breath and replied, “I thank the Hundred Spirit King for your feelings, but I’m more fond of managing the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy. Please let this matter pass for the sake of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy.”

With a smile, the Hundred Spirit King toyed around with his jade cup and smiled. “Although the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy is famous, I’m afraid it’s still not enough to suppress this king...

“My father is the Palace Master of the Northern Profound Palace, an Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign. As for my mother, she’s the Sect Master of the Hundred Flower Sect, an Initial Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign.” The Hundred Spirit King said as he gave a smile to Tang Qian’er, “Do you think that this king would be afraid of a puny Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy?”

Although his tone contained laughter, the temperature in the hall had dropped and many people were trembling. Although they knew of the Hundred Spirit King’s background, they couldn’t help feeling pressured and shocked upon hearing it.

The Northern Profound Palace had a decent reputation in the northwest of the Great Thousand World, with a total of four continents, and the Hundred Spirit Continent was just one of them. The Northern Profound Palace could be considered as being the undisputed Overlord of this vast territory.

On the other hand, the Hundred Flower Sect might not be as powerful as the Northern Profound Palace, but there was also a Heavenly Sovereign Realm and could be considered as a tyrant. Compared to that, the leaders here were all ants that could be instantly reduced to dust with a gentle blow.

This was also why the Hundred Spirit King could control the entire Hundred Spirit Continent as a Lesser Earth Sovereign, and even some powerful leaders could only bow to him.

That’s because the Hundred Spirit King had a terrifying background!

Tang Qian’er’s face slightly changed while feeling pressured as well. In terms of strength, the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy paled in comparison.

However, that didn’t mean that the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy was a pushover. Since it could be a spiritual academy, that meant that it also had its connections.

Thus, if the Northern Profound Palace and Hundred Flower Sect wanted to destroy the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, she believed that they would face quite a bit of obstruction.

Clenching her hand, Tang Qian’er replied, “Hundred Spirit King, you really want to force others?”

Hearing Tang Qian’er’s words, the Hundred Spirit King’s smile turned faint with a dangerous arc narrowed in his eyes.

The entire hall was silent with everyone feeling their backs being covered in sweat. All of them were cursing Tang Qian’er for not knowing what’s good for her. If she offended the Hundred Spirit King, that’s undoubtedly a terrible move.

Mu Feng’s gaze changed. He could sense the pressure on Tang Qian’er. Gritting his teeth, he stood up and cupped his hands towards the Hundred Spirit King with a smile. “Please be appeased. Qian’er is still ignorant, but she is a childhood sweetheart of my son. As someone that does great things, why bother...”

But before he could finish, the Hundred Spirit King coldly looked at him. A black-robed elder had also looked over and taken a step forth. “Are you qualified to speak here?!”

His words brought along rumbling thunder that caused the entire hall to tremble. Mu Feng’s words came to a stop while he suffered a blow. His face turned pale and he stumbled down with a trace of blood on the corner of his lips.

A terrible Spiritual Energy pressure emanated from the black-robed elder caused the leaders of the other forces to tremble. “Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm?!”

They inwardly exclaimed that this Hundred Spirit King truly had a terrifying backing. Despite being only a Lesser Earth Sovereign, the two bodyguards beside him were Perfected Earth Sovereigns.

Toying with the cup, the Hundred Spirit King didn’t even look at Mu Feng as he indifferently said, “I didn’t permit you to speak, so where did you get the guts to speak up? Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck is that son of yours? He dares to fight with me for a woman?”

Mu Feng’s face was ashen as he clenched his hands together.

“Uncle Mu, are you alright?” Tang Qian’er immediately supported Mu Feng and asked.

Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Mu Feng sighed, “Uncle Mu is fine.”

Gritting her teeth, Tang Qian’er’s gaze flickered. She knew that she couldn’t stay here anymore, and she could only appease the Hundred Spirit King for now before finding an opportunity to flee with her father and Uncle Mu.

With this thought, she stood up and looked at the Hundred Spirit King before gritting her teeth. “Alright, I promise...”

But before she could finish her words, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind her and covered her mouth.

At the same time, a familiar voice resounded with a chill within the hall. “Big Sister Qian’er, don’t speak so rashly. Trash like him doesn’t deserve you one bit...”
