Chapter 673 (2/2)

On the lotus platform, the Spiritual Pupil King, who had not spoken yet, smiled suddenly. His completely dark pupils scanned everyone, as he added, “We in the Daluo Territory have our own rules. Everything within the rules is allowed. As for the ownership of those cities, if you don’t like the situation now, you can launch an attack. Go ahead and still that sentence, as long as it’s within the rules.”

Hearing this, Nine Nether frowned slightly, while Lord Blood King laughed complacently. Being lords in the Daluo Territory, they naturally knew the rules in the Daluo Territory. The regions under the Daluo Territory were extremely huge. There were many cities, most of which were ruled by the Daluo Territory directly, while the remaining terrains were controlled by the nine lords. The nine lords were actually in disharmony, and there were frequent conflicts among them, due to the regions under their ruling.

The Daluo Territory did not stop these conflicts. However, there was one rule, which was that the lords could not be directly involved in such conflicts. Only their subordinates could contest in such a situation.

At the moment, the Nine Nether Palace was indeed considered as being the weakest among the nine lord-level forces. Even for commanders, there was only Mu Chen, who had just become qualified.

On the other hand, the other lord-level forces had many powerful subordinates. If they started to fight, the Nine Nether Palace would obviously be at the losing end.

Hence, the Spiritual Pupil King’s words seemed to be neutral, but he actually prevented Nine Nether’s attempt to take back those cities. After all, the Nine Nether Palace could not rely on Mu Chen alone to fight against the many powerful people from the other forces.

Nine Nether gritted her teeth and wanted to say something, but saw the Condor King shaking his head gently at her. Only then, she reluctantly swallowed what she wanted to point out, instead saying in a cold voice, “Since this is the case, we shall see what will happen.”

“Anytime.” Lord Blood King smiled, not taking Nine Nether’s words seriously, as they appeared to be fierce, but actually lacked confidence. After all, there was a huge difference between the strength of the subordinates of the two. Although Mu Chen did defeat Zhao Zhong previously, the latter was only considered as being average among all of the commanders in the Blood Hawk Palace.

Seeing this, Mu Chen did not say anything. Instead, moving his body, he appeared behind Nine Nether.

“Mu Chen, you are awesome,” Tang Rou moved closer to Mu Chen and said, smiling. Her face was filled with joy. No matter what, Mu Chen had gained some honor for the Nine Nether Palace this time.

Tang Bing also nodded gently, then gave a rare smile to Mu Chen.

“I risked my life to fight, and finally got a smile from sister Tang Bing. Not an easy thing!” Mu Chen said, seeing that smile. Mu Chen then laughed uncontrollably.

Tee-hee.

At the side, Tang Rou covered her mouth and also giggled. Clearly, she could tell that Mu Chen was trying to tease Tang Bing.

Tang Bing blushed slightly, as she stared at Mu Chen in embarrassment. Then, her face restored its iciness, and she said, “When you really obtain the quota to enter the Daluo Golden Pool, I will smile until you are tired of it!”

“Then, it seems that I have to work hard!” Mu Chen said, seeming to be eager.

Tang Bing gave a soft humph and turned her head away, but the corners of her rosy lips curled up uncontrollably. Her originally tense mood had also relaxed quite a bit.

When Nine Nether realized that she could not reconquer the lost cities at this Meeting of the Nine Lords, she stopped saying anything else. In any case, she had already gotten the quota for Mu Chen. As for those things that were lost, she still had time in the future to reclaim them.

In the next part of the meeting, there were again discussions about other issues, but Nine Nether did not speak at all. After about two hours, the meeting concluded.

When the meeting ended, Nine Nether stood up directly and brought the three to the outside of the palace. At the entrance of the palace, they happened to meet Lord Blood Hawk and his people. The two stared at each other, their eyes filled with coldness. It was as if, even the surrounding temperature had dropped.

“Ha, Nine Nether, it’s good for a young person to have a dashing spirit. But remember, the stiffest tree is the most easily cracked,” Lord Blood Hawk smiled and said.

“Lord Blood Hawk, you also need to remember that, if you are too greedy, your belly can’t take it,” Nine Nether said tonelessly.

“Haha, even if I eat the Nine Nether Palace, my belly wouldn’t burst,” Lord Blood Hawk replied, smiling. Then, he glanced at Mu Chen, who was beside Nine Nether with some coldness flashing in his eyes. Without saying anything else, he stepped out and left the place.

Wu Tian and Cao Feng also passed by them. The former stopped briefly beside Mu Chen. Smiling, he extended his arm and tapped on Mu Chen’s shoulder in a friendly manner. He then said softly, “Bro, if you want to participate in the contest for the Daluo Golden Pool, then I have to remind you that…”

His voice paused, as his lips suddenly curled up to form a ferocious smile.

“Be careful not to be beaten to death by me.”

He laughed, then tapped on Mu Chen’s shoulder again, before leaving elegantly.

Staring at the back of Wu Tian as he walked away, Mu Chen muttered, “Indeed, I really want to… beat him to death.”
