Chapter 674: The Confrontation of the Almighty Lord
Seeing Elder He's gaze, the other Sovereigns' eyes also flickered with the same intense light.
Besides searching for the Divine King who brought them to the Nine Suns Ancient Land, they also wanted to witness the youngster of the rumors, Ye Chen.
This search didn't take long.
When the last surviving warriors were all transferred out of the Nine Suns Ancient Land, the Sovereigns saw the Divine Kings at the rear, and they also spotted the youth described in the messages, the one who killed Qin Feng and had an affair with Long Li—Ye Chen!
Boom!
Upon seeing Ye Chen, rage burst forth from Elder He, burning towards the sky as if it was tangible.
Elder He's divine eyes directly traversed the endless distance, fixating on Ye Chen. Meanwhile, he bellowed, "Boy, are you the Ye Chen who killed someone from my Divine Dragon Mountain?!"
Whoosh!
The forceful shout from Elder He exploded like thunder in the heavens, and in an instant, all eyes turned to the youth he was staring at.
"Is that Ye Chen?!"
"So young?!"
"Good heavens, he's just a God of the Eight Tribulations. How could he have killed the Upper God King Qin Feng?!"
In the Nine Suns Ancient Land, after hearing those two incredibly shocking pieces of news, countless warriors wanted to see what Ye Chen looked like.
They did not expect that they'd see Ye Chen as soon as they left the Nine Suns Ancient Land.
Even more unexpectedly, this Ye Chen truly was at the True God Realm and so young!
While they were extremely astonished by Ye Chen, these warriors also felt a sudden tightness in their hearts.
At this moment, as Elder He directly targeted Ye Chen, it certainly informed these warriors that however formidable Ye Chen was, he most likely wouldn't survive the day.
After all, if a Sovereign Realm powerhouse wanted to kill him, no matter how powerful he was, even if he could contend with Divine Kings, he had absolutely no chance of resisting or escaping.
It wasn't just those who came out from the Nine Suns Ancient Land who were incredibly shaken.
Outside the Nine Suns Ancient Land, the elder warriors who had sent these True God warriors there were equally shaken upon seeing Ye Chen.
During this time, they too had heard the two pieces of news coming from the Nine Suns Ancient Land. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
They had never imagined that these rumors could indeed be true.
There really was such a miraculous youth who could kill the Upper God King Qin Feng and have an affair with Long Li, the number one goddess from the Supreme Divine Institute!
"This Ye Chen has certainly made a name for himself."
"However, fortune and disaster are intertwined. He may have enjoyed a moment of fame, but I'm afraid his life will also be lost here. After all, with Sovereign Mu Shan from Divine Dragon Mountain looking for trouble, he definitely won't be able to hold out!"
Within the crowd, City Lord Nie, who was familiar with Ye Chen, and people like Lin Xiaowan and Nie Ningnin, who had entered the Nine Suns Ancient Land with Ye Chen, now saw Elder He confront Ye Chen, ready to strike him down at any moment, their palms were completely sweaty.
"How did Ye Chen get himself into such big trouble?"
"Although he is powerful, he absolutely should not have provoked Divine Dragon Mountain. It is one of the four great forces of the Divine Kingdom!"
City Lord Nie was just an ordinary Divine King and had no power to help Ye Chen resist the wrath of Elder He. Being anxious was entirely futile.
Lin Xiaowan and Nie Ningnin felt equally helpless, full of urgency but utterly powerless.
There was no need to mention Nie Ningnin; as an ordinary God, she couldn't be of any help to Ye Chen.
Although Lin Xiaowan was more formidable than Nie Ningnin, a disciple of the Supreme Divine Institute with an Immortal Divine Venerable in her family,
even in the face of a four-star Sovereign like Elder He, her Immortal Divine Venerable relative was not enough, not even to speak a word in defense of Ye Chen.
In the crowd, the only ones who could and dared to speak up for Ye Chen were Mu Ling and Mu Xiao.
Although Hong Ming and Hong Yi also wanted to say something, they still did not know the Southern Territory King's stance and weren't in a position to interfere with Divine Dragon Mountain's affairs.
Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing were also unclear about Long Li's attitude and weren't ready to interject just yet.
Only Mu Ling and Mu Xiao stood directly by Ye Chen's side.
After all, Ye Chen was related to their ancestor, the old Southern Territory King, and they admired Ye Chen greatly; they certainly would not stand by and watch Elder He single him out.
Mu Ling spoke out to Elder He, "Elder He, it was Qin Feng who first tried to kill Ye Chen, and as a result, he was killed by Ye Chen. This was all witnessed by my brother and me, and there are several other Divine Kings who can testify. They have already resolved their life-and-death struggle; Elder He, for you to intervene now represents great bullying the weak, that can't be right!"
Murmurs rippled through the crowd.
The entire assembly was shaken by Mu Ling's words.
No one expected the little princess of Mu King Mansion to speak up for Ye Chen.
Could it be that Ye Chen had dared to provoke the people of Divine Dragon Mountain because he was relying on Mu King Mansion?
But the people from Divine Dragon Mountain were not afraid of Mu King Mansion at all!
Especially since the old Southern Territory King had left, Mu King Mansion's strength was considered weaker compared to Divine Dragon Mountain.
For a moment, everyone turned to look at Sovereign Mu Shan, who had brought Mu Ling and Mu Xiao to the Nine Suns Ancient Land, wondering if he would speak up for Ye Chen.
At this moment, Mu Shan felt somewhat dizzy.
```
He had not expected Mu Ling to speak in favor of Ye Chen, nor that both Mu Ling and Mu Xiao seemed very close to Ye Chen.
In a rush, Mu Shan quickly transmitted a message to Mu Ling and Mu Xiao inquiring about the situation.
At this moment, Elder He, who had received orders from the leader of Divine Dragon Mountain, "Qin Yuntian", to bring back Ye Chen's head, did not care about Mu Ling's interjection. Even if the Mu King Mansion wanted to interfere, he would not cease his pursuit, nor did he dare to!
Boom!
With an airborne step, Elder He ascended above the heads of the countless martial artists who had just emerged from the Nine Suns Ancient Land. He reached out his large hand towards Ye Chen, attempting to capture him in mid-air!
"Elder He, please wait a moment!"
Mu Shan was asking about the situation and had not expected Elder He to have already taken action. Without further thought, he instantly flashed through space and appeared above Ye Chen, clashing his palm against Elder He's attack.
A confrontation between two potentates of the Sovereign Realm was exceedingly terrifying.
Even though Elder He and Sovereign Mu Shan had not used their full strength, the surge of combat power fluctuations caused the vast space of several hundred thousand zhang [1 zhang = 3.3 meters] to completely shatter!
If it were not for the fact that the attacks of these Sovereign Realm powerhouses could be exercised with precise control, any stray shockwave would have been enough to instantly kill all the martial artists who had just left the Nine Suns Ancient Land on the spot!
Despite this, countless martial artists were terrified and fled in all directions. In an instant, only Mu Ling, Mu Xiao, Hong Ming, Hong Yi, Zhu Qianqian, and Zhu Qingqing, a few Divine Kings, remained by Ye Chen's side. Everyone else had already escaped tens of thousands of zhang away before they stopped to watch the conflict from a distance.
Yang Yun and Yang Yan also flew away from Ye Chen's side, standing in a corner of the void, their gazes fixed on Ye Chen, the angered Elder He, and the anxious Sovereign Mu Shan, looking as if they were watching an exciting show.
"Friend Mu Shan, does your 'Mu King Mansion' really want to interfere in the affairs of Divine Dragon Mountain?"
Seeing Mu Shan helping Ye Chen, Elder He was fuming with rage. He flipped his hand, and a "Divine Dragon Token" appeared in his palm.
"Hmph, even if you try to stop me today, you won't be able to prevent me from killing Ye Chen. I don't believe that your Mu King Mansion truly wants to make an enemy of Divine Dragon Mountain just for a single True God!"
As he spoke, Elder He's "Divine Dragon Token" suddenly radiated a dazzling light that shot up into the sky.
Upon seeing this soaring light, Mu Shan was shocked: "The Divine Dragon Order, Elder He is really set on quickly killing Ye Chen. Even going so far as to seek assistance from other Sovereigns of Divine Dragon Mountain!"
In the instant that Mu Shan's thoughts raced, the soaring light from the "Divine Dragon Token" vanished abruptly, and a figure appeared in the sky above.
This figure was a thin man in yellow robes in his middle age.
When the other Sovereigns present saw this figure, Sovereign Zhao Kuo of the Southern Territory King Mansion, "Eastern Brow Sovereign" of Danxia Valley, and "Feiyuan Sovereign" of Taiyun Heaven were all startled.
While they were each four-star Sovereigns, the person who had just arrived was a six-star Sovereign, naturally causing them great alarm!
"It's Protector Zhuge from Divine Dragon Mountain. It is said that each Sovereign of Divine Dragon Mountain carries a Divine Dragon Token that can call for assistance from the nearest high-ranking Sovereign. But I never would have thought that Elder He would actually summon Protector Zhuge!"
"Protector Zhuge is a six-star Sovereign. Now, even if Mu Shan wants to protect Ye Chen, it would be completely impossible!"
The arrival of another potent Sovereign prompted the other martial artists at the scene to dare not even breathe.
They never expected Divine Dragon Mountain to dispatch two Sovereigns at once, and the atmosphere of dreadful power enveloping the land from the latter Sovereign made him seem even more terrifying than the earlier ones!
As soon as Protector Zhuge arrived, his divine gaze turned toward Elder He.
Elder He communicated the situation with a single thought, instantly informing Protector Zhuge.
Protector Zhuge's eyes then focused directly on Mu Shan, speaking indifferently, "The affairs of Divine Dragon Mountain are not to be meddled with by Mu King Mansion, wouldn't you agree?"
Then, Protector Zhuge's gaze swiftly shifted to Ye Chen, "Kid, do you think you can provoke Divine Dragon Mountain by relying on Mu King Mansion? Even if all the experts from Mu King Mansion were to come, the powerhouses of Divine Dragon Mountain would dare to face them all!"
"Our leader wants your head as atonement, so just surrender it obediently!"
Protector Zhuge, a six-star Sovereign, dared to rebuke Ye Chen in front of Mu Shan of Mu King Mansion without any courtesy!
This caused Mu Shan's expression to darken.
However, Protector Zhuge's words also made him hesitate. Although he had learned from Mu Ling about the small connection between Ye Chen and the old Southern Territory King associated with Mu King Mansion, it was, after all, just a minor link. To have Mu King Mansion directly confront Divine Dragon Mountain over this was a decision he could not make without consulting with the director of Mu King Mansion.
But the current situation gave him no time to send a message to Mu King Mansion.
At this moment, Ye Chen, who all eyes were fixed upon, finally spoke up.
He first looked toward Mu Ling, Mu Xiao, and Sovereign Mu Shan, bowing with a cupped fist salute: "Thank you, friends Mu Ling and Mu Xiao for your assistance, and thank you, Elder Mu Shan, for taking action on behalf of a junior like me."
"Since I'm the one who caused this trouble, I will resolve it myself."
Ye Chen's words startled Mu Ling, Mu Xiao, and Mu Shan, and shocked the rest of the martial artists watching from outside the fray.
Had Ye Chen lost his mind?
He was going to resolve it himself?!
His opponents were from Divine Dragon Mountain; how was a mere True God going to resolve it?
Could he possibly have a card up his sleeve capable of confronting Divine Dragon Mountain?
However, Divine Dragon Mountain was already one of the four major powers of the Divine Kingdom. Where would he find a trump card powerful enough to oppose one of the four great powers?
While the martial artists speculated wildly, Ye Chen already had a talisman in his hand that he gently shook, and a divine light immediately enveloped the entire void.
Then, everyone heard a voice from the heavens, "Haha, friend Ye Chen, the grand affairs you've stirred up since our parting have thoroughly shaken me, even from afar in the East Province!"
Along with this voice, everyone saw the heavens completely rupture, revealing a passageway stretching into the boundless starry realm.
Following that, a figure walked directly from the depths of the starry space toward the gathering.
