The Great Ruler

The three of them were shrouded in boundless radiance as they appeared in the ocean. When they showed themselves, they also emanated three powerful Spiritual Energy pressures.

Seeing the three of them, Nine Nether’s face changed. Those three were extremely famous with fame that’s just behind Huang Xuanzhi.

Why did the three of them come to the two of them?

Compared to Nine Nether’s nervousness, Mu Chen’s expression was calm, with only astonishment being shown. He never expected this situation as well.

“Looks like the three of you think highly of me to come together.” Mu Chen faintly smiled as Spiritual Energy gradually circulated around him with signs of converting to the Spiritual Physique.

He had no relationship with the three of them, so they must be here with ill intentions.

However, Mu Chen wasn’t fearful. Although the three of them weren’t weak, and they’ve reached the Quasi-Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm, they’re too naïve if they think that they could subdue him with numbers.

“Hehe, don’t be too hostile. We’re not here to deal with you because of Huang Xuanzhi.” But out of Mu Chen’s expectations, Kong Ling’er chuckled. Her pampered voice resounded in response to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen’s brows were raised as he looked at the girl that spoke. She was an incredibly gorgeous babe who permeated nobility akin to a phoenix.

She was dressed in colorful clothes that tightly wrapped around her waist. Even her fair neck and collar bone permeated charm.

“What do you mean?” Mu Chen was a little surprised. He couldn’t figure out the purpose of those three, except to find trouble with him.

Even Nine Nether was puzzled, while being beside him.

Kong Ling’er chuckled. “We came looking for you because we want to collaborate with Brother Mu.”

“Collaborate?” Mu Chen was stunned, since this was random. Could they also collaborate in the Deification Pool?

With a charming smile, Kong Ling’er pointed to the two beside her. “Brother Mu, these two are Lin Cang of the Nine-headed Golden Condor Clan and Xiao Tian of the Heavenly Dragon Roc Clan. The two of them are also elites amongst the Supreme Divine Beasts.”

Lin Cang and Xiao Tian nodded in Mu Chen’s direction, but their attitudes were a little prideful. But that was understandable, since they could arrogantly look at others with their prestige.

Mu Chen responded with a smile as he asked, “Why should we collaborate?”

He wasn’t too interested in the ‘collaboration’ since he had no trust for the three of them. Thus, there would be worries if he collaborated with them.

Seeing that Mu Chen wasn’t too interested, Kong Ling’er smiled. “I wonder if you’re interested in Saint Heavenly Sovereign Peak Blood Essences?”

Not only Nine Nether, but even Mu Chen had squinted his eyes with shock. Saint Heavenly Sovereign Peak Blood Essences?!

That level of Peak Blood Essence could be born in the Deification Pool?

So far, the highest they managed to find was only akin to an Initial Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, which was already an excellent nourishment for Nine Nether. Thus, they never thought about the possibility of Saint Heavenly Sovereign Peak Blood Essences.

However, if he really managed to get his hand on a part of the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Peak Blood Essence, it would be enough to allow Nine Nether to evolve. It was so much so that there would be a surplus for Mu Chen to use on his True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits for them to take actual forms...

The shock in his eyes briefly lasted before Mu Chen composed himself. “If there’s really a Peak Blood Essence of that quality, I suggest you guys give up on it. It isn’t something that you can deal with.”

Although Peak Blood Essences were just bloodline auras without any fighting capabilities, nothing was ordinary as long as it’s related to ‘Saint.’

With their strength, they could only flee when encountering one, and it’s impossible for them to take it down, even if they collaborated.

Kong Ling’er did not show too much reaction to Mu Chen’s words, but she nodded her head in agreement before replying with a question, “If it’s a genuine Saint Heavenly Sovereign Peak Blood Essence, then we can only run. But what if it’s a Peak Blood Essence that is about to break through to the Quasi-Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm?”

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered as he stared at Kong Ling’er and knitted his brows. “If there’s really such an opportunity, why would you guys look for me?”

If Kong Ling’er’s group really managed to find one, it was undoubtedly a great opportunity. If they could absorb it, it would be extremely beneficial to their future in breaking through to the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

Mu Chen had no friendships with them, so why would they come to offer him a share?

Exchanging a look with Lin Cang and Xiao Tian, Kong Ling’er bitterly smiled,.“Because Huang Xuanzhi also knows about it.”

Mu Chen was briefly stunned before he became more puzzled. “Since that’s the case, why did you guys not look for Huang Xuanzhi, but me?”

Naturally, Huang Xuanzhi was a better partner for collaboration with them.

Hearing Mu Chen’s words, the three’s expressions became a little embarrassed before they explained, “Because Huang Xuanzhi is a little too overbearing. He said that he wants 70% of it, and the three of us can only take 30%.”

Hearing their explanation, Mu Chen finally understood what was going on. So there was internal strife due to the breaking down of their distribution. Thus, the three of them were unwilling and wanted to look for other helpers.

“The three of you couldn’t compete with Huang Xuanzhi?” Mu Chen swept a glance at the three of them. The three of them were at the Quasi-Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm. Strictly speaking, they should be able to find a general Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.

“Hmph, you don’t know how powerful Huang Xuanzhi is. He’s a True Phoenix, the sovereigns of all aerial Divine Beasts. Not to mention that he has cultivated the Nine Circulation Saint Art, which is one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities. So despite his cultivation being at the Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm, not even a Middle-Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign can compete with him.” Lin Cang snorted.

Although the three of them were geniuses of their clans, they had to admit that they were lacking when compared to Huang Xuanzhi.

Nodding her head, Kong Ling’er smiled. “The three of us aren’t confident in fighting with Huang Xuanzhi, so we need someone powerful. We’ve heard it from Fang Jing that Brother Mu is deep and unfathomable, which is why we came looking for you.”

Mu Chen smiled at her words. Although Kong Ling’er obscurely said it, he could tell that they actually had no intention of looking for him. Maybe they felt that he wasn’t qualified, but after hearing the news of how he dealt with Fang Jing so easily, they started to look at him seriously and came looking for him.

“There will certainly be a battle with you and Huang Xuanzhi. If you collaborate with us, we might be able to weaken him, which could give you more of a chance.” Xiao Tian said.

But judging from his tone, he clearly didn’t think that Mu Chen was qualified to fight with Huang Xuanzhi.

Mu Chen smiled and considered this matter, since he was interested in that Peak Blood Essence.

If he could obtain it, he would be able to resolve Nine Nether’s evolution issue, and he might be able to obtain a great opportunity from it.

Kong Ling’er’s group of three became silent as they nervously looked at Mu Chen. If Mu Chen wasn’t willing to collaborate with them, then they wouldn’t be able to snatch the Peak Blood Essence before Huang Xuanzhi does.

After a long while, Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the three of them. “I can collaborate with the three of you.”

Hearing his answer, joy immediately flushed on Kong Ling’er’s face.

“But don’t we have to settle the distribution first?” Mu Chen asked.

“Naturally.” Kong Ling’er smiled as she continued, “I believe that Brother Mu won’t be as domineering as Huang Xuanzhi, right?”

Mu Chen smiled and raised four fingers. “I won’t go overboard. We have two people, so we will take 40% of it.”

His words instantly caused Lin Cang and Xiao Tian to knit their brows as they glanced at Mu Chen. “We came looking for you, not her.”

Nine Nether’s current strength couldn’t enter their eyes, so they weren’t willing to give her 20%.

Mu Chen faintly smiled, but he did not rebuke. He kept his silence. He had clearly made the decision. According to his estimation, 40% was appropriate, and it could allow Nine Nether to evolve without any problem.

Seeing Mu Chen’s attitude, Kong Ling’er briefly hesitated before gritting her teeth. “Fine, 40% it is!”

Lin Cang and Xiao Tian unhappily looked over before they immediately swallowed their words after seeing the flicker in Kong Ling’er’s eyes.

As if Mu Chen hadn’t noticed it, he smiled. “Since that’s the case, then we’ll collaborate.”

“Let’s not delay any longer and move out. We have to reach there first to obstruct Huang Xuanzhi.” Kong Ling’er was a decisive person, so she declared.

“Lead the way, then.” Mu Chen nodded his head, having no objections.

Nodding her head, the three of them turned into streaks of light and tore through the ocean water, flying towards the boundless emerald ocean.

Looking at their silhouettes, Mu Chen’s gaze flickered as he waved his hand. As Spiritual Energy fluttered, it swept along Nine Nether and the two of them followed closely behind them.
