Chapter 944 (2/2)
Hoof.
Mu Chen lifted up his head and took a deep breath. He finally managed to calm himself down. His smile was suddenly filled with more confidence and persistence.
Luo Li, wait for me.
Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen’s eyes and the confidence that he exuded and smiled. Only Luo Li could cause this cool guy’s heart to flutter.
Nine Nether swept the hair on her forehead and said suddenly, “After the Big Hunting War, I may go away for a while.”
When Mu Chen heard this, he was stunned and asked, “Where are you going?”
“I have broken through to Grade Six Sovereign and have become a Netherworld Bird. I have to go back and try to ignite the inherited bloodline…” Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen and winked. She then said with a smile, “If I manage to succeed, my strength will increase tremendously. By then, I will have to dump you.”
Mu Chen looked at Nine Nether. Although she was smiling, he noticed that her smile was not natural.
She seemed bothered.
“Is there danger in igniting the inherited bloodline, or is it something else?” Mu Chen asked softly.
Nine Nether was shocked. She had not expected Mu Chen to be so sensitive. She quickly curled up her lips and shook her head.
Mu Chen looked at her and suddenly said, “Is it because… we are linked by the bloodline?”
To ignite the inherited bloodline, it would need to come into contact with the blood. By doing so, her people would find out that her bloodline was linked with Mu Chen’s. Although Nine Nether did not mind, her people might.
The Netherworld Bird was top in the Divine Beast Record among the powerful Divine Beasts. If she evolved further and became a Sovereign Divine Beast, she would become a powerful figure in the Great Thousand World.
Nine Nether was a rare talent in the Netherworld Bird clan. The high levels in the clan had high hopes in her. If they knew that Nine Nether’s bloodline was linked with a human being’s, especially one who was only a Grade Five Sovereign, they would be furious. It would not be easy to appease them.
Nine Nether bit her lip and smiled at Mu Chen. She said firmly, “Don’t worry, I will not let them hurt you!”
Mu Chen furrowed his brows. When he and Nine Nether had linked their bloodlines together, he had expected there to be problems. It seemed that the problems were about to surface.
Mu Chen took a deep breath and said, “Sister Nine Nether, I am grateful that all these years you have been protecting me… This happened because of me. I will not let you face this alone.”
Nine Nether was stunned. She lifted up her head and looked at Mu Chen. He looked persistent and was no longer a greenhorn. His confidence calmed her down.
After she calmed down, she felt comforted. Mu Chen was no longer the greenhorn and sometimes, even she became more confident due to his presence.
In less than two years after he had left the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, Mu Chen had grown up…
Nine Nether nodded and did not say another word. She looked less worried now.
When Mu Chen saw it, he smiled. After Nine Nether looked away, he turned grave as he knew that this matter would not be easy to deal with.
However, now was not the time to consider this matter. The most important thing was that Mandela was able to successfully break through. If the Lord of Divine Pavilion managed to break through first, Daluo Territory would face a catastrophe. They would then become homeless curs.
When they had to face the people of Netherworld Bird, Mandela would be the greatest force that Mu Chen could tap into. If Mandela was unable to break through, Mu Chen would not be in a position to talk to the people of Netherworld Bird. He would have to think of other solutions then.
Thus, Mu Chen prayed hard that the perfect grade Spiritual Deity Liquid would help Mandela to have a successful breakthrough.
Mu Chen looked at the purple light that had pierced through the area. Mandela sat quietly cross-legged within it, and horrifying spiritual energy fluctuations swirled out from her body.
“Mandela… You must succeed…”
