The hall fell into a dead silence after Liu Tiandao made that impolite remark. Nine Nether and the rest glared at him in a fit of pique. If it were not for Liu Tiandao's status, they would have stood up and defended Mu Chen.

However, compared to their righteous indignation, Mu Chen kept his cool. Clearly, he was not surprised by Liu Tiandao's objection. After all, they had grudges against one another in the past. Naturally, Liu Tiandao's unjust mentality could be his source of agitation.

The other four Earthly Sovereigns shared the same thoughts as Liu Tiandao, despite keeping quiet. They just kept silent to avoid taking the lead. No matter what, all five of them refused to acknowledge Mu Chen, as he was not good enough to rise above them.

Hence, even with Mandela's support, Mu Chen had to rely on his own capability to convince the five Sovereigns if he wished to secure the position. Otherwise, the foundation of the new force would not be strong, and it would be hard to establish themselves in the future.

Knowing this very well, Mandela did not say anything after she heard Liu Tiandao. Obviously, she wanted Mu Chen to resolve this himself. Seeing her attitude, the rest of the Lower Earthly Sovereigns understood her unspoken intention and cast away all their initial fears.

Mu Chen smiled at their provocative looks. He looked at Liu Tiandao. In a calming tone he said, ”Since Elder Liu does not think that I'm qualified, may I know what kind of qualification are you looking for?”

Liu Tiandao raised his eyebrow. ”If you wish to rise above others, you need to convince the others. Instead of using your mouth, you need capabilities and skills to do so,” said Liu Tiandao at a moderate speed.

”Although you've broken through to Lower Earthly Sovereign, you're still inexperienced. Your foundation is weak. If you rise above us and become our leader with such qualifications, our followers would feel unjust for us, and they might rebel.” Liu Tiandao was apparently a sly old fox. His understated tonality drew the line, and he even shifted the problem to their followers.

Mu Chen smiled and nodded. He looked at the rest of the Earthly Sovereigns and asked, ”I guess, the rest of you share the same opinion?”

All four of them smiled and said slowly, ”Even though Young Brother Mu has made a name for himself, you're still inexperienced. That's a fact. It's hard to convince us.”

Although they could not recognize Mu Chen as their leader, they did not want to offend him, either. After all, it was rare for such a young man to become a Lower Earthly Sovereign. He must have remarkable potential, and he might surpass them in the future. Therefore, even those Sovereigns who were used to dictating to others were polite to him.

Mu Chen gave a hollow laugh. ”I guess, the so-called 'qualification and experience' come from the fist. The one with a bigger and more durable fist wins.” He put it bluntly compared to those old fellows who were beating around the bush. They did not object. Instead, they were glad that Mu Chen understood their hidden intentions.

Mu Chen pressed hard on the tabletop and laughed. A sharp radiance gathered immediately in his pitch-black eyes. He said slowly, ”If this is the case, I wonder who is willing to come forward and have a taste of my fist?”

As Mu Chen finished his sentence, a strong wind suddenly gathered in the hall, and violent spiritual energy suppression swept out like a windstorm from his body. The surrounding space twisted and rippled like a water current.

The rest of the people, including Nine Nether, the Sleeping King, and the Condor King, who were standing behind him, had a slight change in their expressions. They felt their bodies being suppressed by a mountain-like force, and none of them could move. They sang out praises in their hearts. The difference between the Grade Nine Sovereign and the Earthly Sovereign was incredibly vast.

The daunting spiritual oppression swept out, and all five Earthly Sovereigns narrowed their eyes. Their sleeves flapped and rustled, even without any natural wind. A spiritual glow flashed around them, blocking off the spiritual oppression coming from Mu Chen.

”Hehe, Young Brother Mu, you've got quite a dashing spirit.” Liu Tiandao smiled. He swung his sleeves and said, ”Since you've made up your mind, I would like to give it a try.”

He knew Mu Chen was not a simple person, but he was confident of himself, too. After all, he had become a Lower Earthly Sovereign many years ago, while it had barely been a few months for Mu Chen. As such, he was confident that he could subdue Mu Chen's dashing spirit.

Of course, the cautious Liu Tiandao did not mean to totally trash Mu Chen. All he wanted was to deflate his arrogance and prove to him that he could not command all of them just with his current capability.

”How do you want to do this? I'm totally fine, even if it's a face-to-face confrontation,” said Liu Tiandao in an imposing manner. He seemed to look forward to the fight with Mu Chen. By doing so, not only would Mu Chen suffer a setback, but his own status in the North Territory Alliance would also rise further.
