“You are too presumptuous!” Dragon-Arm Sovereign said flatly. After he spoke, the square suddenly quietened down.

The people had weird expressions on their faces, especially the veteran top powers. Although Dragon-Arm Sovereign had great strength and was well-known, Mu Chen had contributed much to the Daluo Territory.

In fact, if it had not been for Mu Chen, Mandela would not have advanced to Upper Earthly Sovereign during The Big Hunting War. Moreover, the Daluo Territory would not have survived in the North Territory if the Divine Pavilion had won.

As such, everyone in the Daluo Territory was grateful to Mu Chen. Even the three kings were respectful toward him. These people did not look down on him because he was young. Thus, when the people heard what Dragon-Arm Sovereign had said, they were understandably very unhappy.

“Dragon-Arm Sovereign, although you are well-known in the North Territory, to us, you are still a greenhorn. You come here because we are powerful now, but please remember, Mu Chen played an important role in building the Daluo Territory up,” Lord Asura said. He was already unhappy with Dragon-Arm Sovereign and Withered Old Man.

“Hohoho, you need to go according to the order of arrival. It is useless to flaunt your seniority in the Daluo Territory,” Lord Mountain Cracker said with a smile.

Lord Blood Hawk and the rest of the older lords voiced their agreement with these sentiments as well. Only the new lords looked at one another in silence, not wanting to get involved. They did not want to offend Dragon-Arm Sovereign and Withered Old Man, just in case they became kings and pillars of the Daluo Territory in the future.

Dragon-Arm Sovereign and Withered Old Man were shocked when they saw that the older lords were reprimanding them. They instantly turned pale.

After all, they were already well-known in the North Territory, so they were naturally proud of themselves. They had become a bit overconfident and been rude to Mu Chen, looking down on him.

They thought that Mu Chen was too young, but he had indeed hit the big time during the Big Hunting War and gained the favor of the Dominator. Even this made them more annoyed with him, as they looked down on people who pulled strings to get protection.

Thus, when they saw that Mu Chen was eyeing the kingship as well, they reprimanded him. It was apparent that they had underestimated Mu Chen’s influence in the Daluo Territory. Hence, they were looking only for trouble by making such a comment.

Before Dragon-Arm Sovereign and Withered Old Man could say anything else, the Condor King said, “Lord Mu and Lord Nine Nether have contributed much to the Daluo Territory. The two of you are not kings yet, thus you are of the same status. Please be respectful.”

The Condor King and the Spiritual Pupil King were already unhappy with Dragon-Arm Sovereign and Withered Old Man. As such, they took the opportunity to add insult to injury when they saw that the two of them were being attacked by the crowd. Even the Sleeping King smiled and nodded his head in agreement.

Dragon-Arm Sovereign and Withered Old Man turned ghastly pale. They had not expected the crowd to be so infuriated by such a simple remark.

After all, in the pair’s minds, especially given their strengths and reputations, it was only right for them to reprimand the younger generation. However, they had not expected things to turn out this way.

They looked at each other and then at Mandela. They hoped that Mandela would speak up for them, but she simply pretended to be asleep. She did not say a word and did not even try to stop the Condor King and the rest from rebuking them.

When Dragon-Arm Sovereign and Withered Old Man saw her passive attitude, their hearts sank. Mandela would rather allow them to be attacked by the crowd than to stick her neck out and support them. This showed how important Mu Chen was to her, as well as how much less they meant in comparison.

All they could do at this moment was to swallow their prides. They lifted their heads to look at Mu Chen and Nine Nether, who were standing in the sky, then forced out two smiles.

Dragon-Arm Sovereign said, “This is my fault. I hope Lord Mu Chen will not hold it against me.” They had to give in, as they did not want to have more people rebuke them, which would bring shame upon themselves.

Mu Chen was shocked by this scene. He shook his head and smiled.

“You are unlucky!” Mu Chen muttered to himself. He then shook his head and smiled, refusing to be bothered by what Dragon-Arm had said.

Mu Chen then said, “Since the Dominator has said that anyone can go for the kingships, does that include the two of us?”
