“Garuda.”

In the tranquil garden, Mu Chen looked solemn. The sharp radiance in his eyes surged as if he had met his biggest match. He lifted his head and looked at Mandela. “Who is he?”

The North Territory was constantly chaotic, and it was not a significant region among the many regions in the Tianluo Continent. The news about other regions was not as frequently updated. Hence, this was the first time Mu Chen had heard of this name.

“He is the Holy Son from the Saint Demon Palace of the South Region in the Tianluo Continent. Heh, Garuda is much more renowned than you are in the Tianluo Continent.” With a teasing look, Mandela continued, “The South Region is bigger than our North Territory. Garuda has made tremendous contributions in expanding their territory by wiping out numerous sects and forces. Not only do the various forces in the South Region tremble upon seeing him, but even those forces around the region are wary of him.

“He’s now a Grade Nine Sovereign. I heard that he wasn’t afraid of the top powers at the peak of Grade Nine Sovereign when he was just a beginner in Grade Nine Sovereign. That’s scary.

“Some of the nosy people even created a ranking chart for those young generations in the Tianluo Continent. Garuda was ranked third on it.”

Mu Chen had a slightly shocked expression in his eyes. Ranking third place among the young generation in the Tianluo Continent was quite a thing. After all, the Tianluo Continent was a supercontinent in the Great Thousand World. It was not easy to stand out among those talented and skillful people.

Nine Nether suddenly smiled and asked, “How about Mu Chen’s ranking?”

Mandela darted a look at Mu Chen. “No one seems to have counted him in yet.”

Mu Chen was embarrassed when he heard this. The North Territory was not very significant in the Tianluo Continent. There was no overlord due to the endless disputes. Hence, no one would pay much attention to the North Territory. Moreover, he was always missing in action. His contributions were not flashy enough to attract any attention. Thus, it would not seem possible to have a ranking on the chart.

Nine Nether and Mandela knew this very well. However, they purposely put up a show to tease him. Mu Chen shook his head helplessly.

As powerful as Garuda was, he only ranked third among the young generation in the Tianluo Continent. From this, Mu Chen could tell how strong the young generation was. Those people he met in the Land of the Divine Beasts were not a match in comparison.

Despite this, Mu Chen also understood that those people he had met in the Land of the Divine Beasts might not be the top-notch players, even though they were the supreme talents from their various Divine Beasts clans. However, they were just not the best in terms of overall performance. Like Bai Ming, he did not seem to be the main supreme talent in the Phoenix Clan.

“How about Saint Demon Palace?” Mu Chen shook his head and changed the topic.

The smile on Mandela’s pretty face seemed to have vanished. A cold radiance flashed in her golden eyes. She said indifferently, “Saint Demon Palace is the true overlord in the South Region. The master of the palace is Lu Yuan, commonly known as the Saint Demon King. He became an upper Earthly Sovereign a few years ago.”

“Lu Yuan, the Saint Demon King? Do you have any grudges against him?” Mu Chen was stunned by the domineering nickname. As sensitive as he was, he sensed the change in Mandela’s tone and had to ask.

The South Region and the North Territory were poles apart with numerous lands and districts in between. Even an Earthly Sovereign would require a long time to travel that kind of distance. How could both bear grudges against each other?

“We’re old friends,” said Mandela coldly. “He tricked me and planted that curse in my body back then.”

Mu Chen’s expression changed. The curse in Mandela’s body had been torture for her. Previously, she fell into deep sleep for a long period of time because of it. If she had not met Mu Chen, she might still be sleeping even now. However, Mu Chen never thought that the curse had something to do with the Saint Demon King, Lu Yuan.

Mu Chen looked at Mandela’s cold face and said helplessly, “It seems like we have some affinity. The Holy Son of the Saint Demon Palace would be my sworn enemy, and the Saint Demon King is your sworn enemy, too.”

“Therefore, you must get the evolution method of the Great Solar Undying Body. It can never be in Garuda’s hands!” said Mandela seriously.

Mu Chen nodded gently. His pitch-black eyes were determined, as he knew very well how important the evolution method was. He had been making plans for this throughout the years. Now, he finally saw a light at the end of the tunnel. Therefore, he would not give up easily. Regardless of the fame that Garuda had in the Tianluo Continent, Mu Chen would fight until the end as long as he dared to vie with him.

“Garuda might have information from Lu Yuan about the Super Power Hall and the Sky Pool that I mentioned to you. You just need to watch out.”
