After the auction ended, Mu Chen was not in a hurry to leave Merchant City. He looked for a cultivating tavern and temporarily stayed there. If the battle was arriving, he naturally had to restore himself to his peak state.
The exhaustion brought from the journey was clearly erased.
In the spacious guest room.
Mu Chen sat, while Nine Nether stood against the window of the guest room and looked outside. After a long moment, she turned her head around and looked at Mu Chen, "There truly is someone following us, they should've been sent by Liu Ming."
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head, "Those with Liu as their surname really aren't anything good."
In the Northern Heavens Realm, the Liu Family had also caused him quite a bit of trouble.
Finishing his speech, he saw Lin Jing from the side suddenly putting her hands on her waist as she furiously stared at him and waved her fist, "My grandmother's surname is also Liu!"
In an instant, Mu Chen's face turned awkward.
Lin Jing snorted as she continued, "If my father hears this, he will definitely give you a thrashing."
Mu Chen dryly laughed. This was basically an unexpected disaster.
"So' when are we leaving?" However, Lin Jing did not bother about Mu Chen's careless remarks as she sat down next to him. Her hand was supporting her cheek as she said with a little excitement.
Judging from her looks, she seemed to be excited about the upcoming trouble.
"No rush. Every single one of our actions is probably under the surveillance of Liu Ming. If we stay in the city for a short time and not leave the city, he will feel that we are afraid." Mu Chen lightly smiled.
"Showing our enemies that we are weak, how cunning." Lin Jing spoke with a sly smile.
"Our enemies are stronger than us, we have to use little tricks."
Mu Chen smiled as he stared at Lin Jing, his expression turned a lot more serious as he continued, "As you know, Liu Ming's strength is stronger than us. Although you and I have both stepped into the Sovereign Realm, we have yet to refine our Sovereign Celestial Bodies. Thus, our fighting capability would be weaker. As for Nine Nether, she could, at most, hinder the opposition's Fifth Grade Sovereign. So if there's an accident, you have to leave if I tell you to."
Hearing his words, Lin Jing was a little unhappy. But looking at Mu Chen's serious expression, she could only pout as she answered, "Fine."
Mu Chen then nodded his head with a smile and no longer spoke. He slowly shut his eyes and gradually entered a cultivating state.
Nine Nether, however, conversed with Lin Jing for a while as she leaned against the window, closed her eyes and rested. She did not enter into her cultivating state because she had to keep her guard up, even if this city was safe.
She was clear about the dangers in the Great Thousand World.
As for Lin Jing, she covered her mouth as she yawned and lazily went to sleep. Judging from her state, she didn't seem to care about any dangers.
The night quietly passed.
On the second day, there still wasn't any movements from Mu Chen until the sun had. Generally speaking, ordinary people would be slightly relaxed at this sort of time. Thus, he chose to go out of the tavern, into the multitude of people and headed towards the city's outskirts together with Nine Nether and Lin Jing.
When he left the tavern, a feminine-looking youth on a building in the city had they smear of a cold smile rising from the corner of his lips.
He waved his hand as he sent the maid that was massaging him off and stood up. His gaze was slightly cold as he looked towards the direction of the city gate.
"That a naïve brat, you think that you can escape from me this way?" He let out a ridiculing smile as he waved his hand. The black-robed elderly man then mysterious appeared behind him.
"Elder Mu, it's time for us to act."
The black-robed elderly man lightly nodded his head. After that, the surrounding space around them rippled, and their figures gradually disappeared into the air.
When they left, in a courtyard in the city, the Heart Fairy Fox, who was embracing a snow-white fox, revealed an alluring smile.
"We'll have a good show to watch now." She lightly put the white fox down as she smiled towards her rear, "Let's go, we'll go spy on them. For some reason, I feel that Liu Ming will not succeed so easily this time."
Behind her, the ordinary-looking middle-aged man appeared. The two figures moved, and they disappeared.
Three waves of people quietly disappeared, exiting the city without alerting anyone...
...
The dusk sunset hung on the horizon as the red light shone on the ground, giving a slight cooling temperature.
Whoosh.
Up on the dusk horizon, there was a hurried piercing sound of wind as three rays of light streaked across the horizon and flew towards the distance at a shocking speed.
They seemed to have executed their speed to the limit. Judging from it, it was as if they were being chased by something from behind them.
Their high-speed journey lasted for roughly half an hour, before they gradually slowed down. After that, the three of them landed on a mountain.
Mu Chen raised his head as he looked at the horizon behind him and suddenly revealed a smile."The two of you have been sneakily following us for half a day now, aren't the two of you tired?"
"Haha, looks like you knew about us since long ago."
As Mu Chen spoke, a feminine-sounding voice followed after as it resonated between the heavens and earth. On a mountain peak not far away, space slightly distorted as two figures mysteriously appeared out of the sky.
It was Liu Ming and the black-robed elderly man, whose strength had reached Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, of the Sky Profound Palace.
His gaze was staring at Mu Chen in mockery and surveyed around, "You have truly found a pretty good burial site for yourself."
"How do you know it's not prepared for you?" Mu Chen lightly smiled as a chill rapidly gathered in his eyes.
"Looks like your pretty confident."
Liu Ming faintly smiled as he continued, "If you feel that the beauty with Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm could give you such self-confidence, I'm afraid that you will be disappointed."
Liu Ming extended his hand towards Mu Chen as he continued speaking, "Hand the Void Great Solar Fruit over to me, before I get thoroughly angered. If your attitude satisfies me, I might be able to let you go."
"Have you brought along the Undying Divine Leaf and the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art with you?" Mu Chen did not give him a reply as he shot back a question instead.
The smile on Liu Ming's face gradually faded as he stared at Mu Chen without any expression, "You have given up your only chance."
"You speak too much." Mu Chen smiled.
"Pfft." Lin Jing, who stood beside him, covered her mouth as she smiled, showing relentless mockery to Liu Ming.
"Elder Mu, you can act now." Liu Ming narrowed his eyes as the smile that hung on the corner of his lips gradually turned a little savage."There's no need to be lenient."
Behind him, the black-robed elder slowly strode forth as he brought down both of his hands, which were previously plugged into his sleeves. At this instant, a chilled aura was being emitted from his aged face.
A terrifying Spiritual Energy gale swept from his body. The pitch-black Spiritual Energy swept between the heavens and earth. In an instant, the temperature in this region decreased. The black-robed elderly man's Spiritual Energy contained ripples of extreme chill.
The mountain peak that he stood on was gradually crumbling under the terrifying ripples of Spiritual Energy. Huge cracks started to spread throughout the mountain.
It was just mere Spiritual Energy pressure, and it had caused the mountain to crumble. The strength of a Fifth Grade Sovereign was actually so dreadful.
Looking at this scene, Mu Chen's gaze was slightly grave. This was the first time he was facing a Fifth Grade Sovereign. The power unleashed by him was truly exceptionally powerful.
Nine Nether, who was standing next to Mu Chen's side, had strode forth as a vast amount of Spiritual Energy exploded. Space distorted and, right above her, formed a colossal blackbird.
On the Blackbird, there were purple flames quietly blazing.
"Divine Beast?!"
When the colossal black bird appeared, Liu Ming and the black-clothed elderly man's expression trembled.
"No wonder why you had such confidence, so your true body is that of a Divine Beast." The black-robed elder looked at Nine Nether as he spoke with a hoarse voice.
Generally speaking, it was impossible for a Fourth Grade Sovereign to contend with a Fifth Grade Sovereign, there was a massive gap between the differences of one grade. But if it was a Divine Beast, things would be different. Based on the powerful physical body andnatural advantage, mighty Divine Beasts were generally stronger than those of the same realm.
Liu Ming's brows were also furrowed at this instant as he strode a step forth and his eerie gaze was fixed on Mu Chen, "Elder Mu, you keep her tied up, I will deal with that kid."
The black-clothed elder nodded his head. Although the lady that stood before him was a little out of his expectations, the difference between them was a grade. Although it was a bit troublesome to kill the other party, it wasn't too hard to keep her tied up.
"I have not sensed any ripples of a Sovereign Celestial Body on you. So I believe that you have yet to refine your Sovereign Celestial Body yet, right?" Liu Ming stared at Mu Chen as he spoke with indifference.
Mu Chen did not give an answer.
"What a pity... that you will never have the chance to refine it." Liu Ming sighed with pity as he abruptly stomped his feet. In an instant, his gaze turned savage.
"But, before you die, I can let you taste the true might of a Sovereign Celestial Body!"
Boom!
Vast Spiritual Energy soared into the sky and covered it. Scarlet Spiritual Energies rapidly gathered around Liu Ming, and in the end, formed into a big scarlet image that was roughly a thousand feet in size.
The body of that figure was blazing with flames. Looking from afar, it was as if a lava giant had descended from the sky.
Along with it, the temperature in this region surged.
"Heavenly Flame Celestial Body!"
