Chapter 966 (2/2)
As the oppression became stronger, Mandela’s face turned grave. She snorted and stepped out. The space under her feet cracked, and visible ripples burst out. Within a split second, the ripples covered up the large Flames Sparrow that had been formed by the spiritual energy of the elder robed in green…
Bang!
Shockwaves raged, and the Flames Sparrow cried out before it exploded right before the eyes of everyone watching. The elder robed in green turned ghastly pale. His body shook, and he moved one step back. The stone pedestal on the ground cracked and was about to explode.
When the elder robed in green and the other elders saw it, they turned pale and cried out, “Upper Earthly Sovereign?”
Heavenly Sparrow Elder was shocked as well. When he had seen Mandela two months ago, she was only a Half Step to Upper Earthly Sovereign, which was still not very stable. Within two short months, she had become an Upper Earthly Sovereign!
She had surpassed many of the elders in the Nine Netherbird Clan and was on par with the Clan Leader!
Tianhuang Clan Leader was taken aback as well. He looked at Mandela and said in a powerful voice, “I am surprised that the Dominator has reached this level of strength. You deserve more than to dwell in North Territory.”
Tianhuang Clan Leader’s voice turned into soundwaves and covered the sky. As the soundwaves hit the destructive aura that Mandela’s body had exuded, the soundwaves and destructive aura dissipated as though they offset each other.
When Mandela saw it, she squinted and became wary. From the look of it, Tianhuang Clan Leader had reached Upper Earthly Sovereign long ago.
“Tianhuang Clan Leader is too kind.”
Mandela said flatly, “Today, I have brought Mu Chen to the Nine Netherbird Clan because of the promise that he has with Heavenly Sparrow Elder. I hope you will honor your words. If we have a falling out, it will not do either of us any good, even if you are more powerful than Daluo Territory.”
When the elder robed in green heard it, he turned pale. However, he could not refute her words, as Mandela was indeed powerful.
Tianhuang Clan Leader remained calm and shifted his gaze to look at Mu Chen. He said flatly, “So, you are Mu Chen.”
Mu Chen was fearless when he faced the elders of the Nine Netherbird Clan, but when he looked at Tianhuang Clan Leader, he felt guilty, as he was Nine Nether’s father.
“Yes, I am Mu Chen. How do you do, Tianhuang Clan Leader.” Mu Chen quickly cupped his fist and greeted him.
Tianhuang Clan Leader said flatly, “As the Bloodline Bond between you and Nine Nether was formed in a life threatening situation, I will not blame you for it. However, Nine Nether’s bloodline is extremely important to our clan. Since her bloodline is contaminated, it may affect her future evolution.”
When Mu Chen heard it, his heart sank. He had never expected the Bloodline Bond to create so many problems for Nine Nether.
“If Nine Nether is able to obtain the Undying Bird’s divine blood in the Land of the Divine Beasts, it can remove the contamination and strengthen her bloodline.”
Tianhuang Clan Leader looked at Mu Chen and said, “There will be a fierce fight over the opportunities in the Land of the Divine Beasts. The geniuses from different clans will enter in as well, and our clan may not stand a chance. Can you imagine the degree of the fight?”
Mu Chen nodded.
Tianhuang Clan Leader waved his hand and said, “You have two options right now. The first option is to go ahead with what you have agreed to with Heavenly Sparrow. If you manage to get into the fourth place and help Nine Nether perfect her bloodline, we will forget about the Bloodline Bond. You will also have our friendship. Of course, you know how difficult this will be.
“If you do not have the confidence, I will not kill you, since you have saved Nine Nether before. However, you will have to stay in our clan for ten years!”
Tianhuang Clan Leader’s eyes turned sharp as he said this. He then stared at Mu Chen and said, “Now, can you tell me what is your decision?”
Everyone in the Nine Netherbird Clan lifted up their heads and stared at the young man who was in the sky. It was apparent that they wished to know what his decision would be.
They felt that the Clan Leader had given Mu Chen the best option. The second option was to spare his life. Although Mu Chen had to be imprisoned for ten years, he could stay alive. At the same time, Nine Nether would not be implicated by the Bloodline Bond.
The two men who sat cross-legged in the square looked up. They stared at Mu Chen with a mocking look.
Such a coward should choose the second option. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to snatch the fourth place from them.
Mu Chen looked at Tianhuang Clan Leader and then smiled at Nine Nether. In the next instant, he appeared above the square and cupped his fist at the two figures in the square.
“Gentlemen, I am Mu Chen from Daluo Territory. I am here to fight for the last place.”
