Chapter 1372 - The Mu Estate Rises (2/2)
…
North Territory, the Mu Estate.
Outside a hall, Mu Chen looked at the retreating emissary. He held a golden post, which was another congratulatory post that had been sent by a hegemonic force from another region.
”So far, at least eight other Overlord forces have sent congratulatory posts.” Behind Mu Chen, Mandela shook her head and commented in amazement.
As the North Region was experiencing some turmoil, it was the best time for other forces to attempt to fish in troubled waters. However, the other fierce forces not only did not strike, but they had even sent congratulatory notes.
”It seems that the title of Great Thousand Palace's Demon Slayer King is useful in bamboozling them!” As she smiled at Mu Chen, Mandela understood why those forces were being so friendly.
Mu Chen smiled and lamented in his heart that the name of the Great Thousand Palace was indeed more useful than he had imagined. However, it was a pity that he, as the Demon Slayer King, had no real rights.
Otherwise, he would not have to be afraid of the Budur Ancient Clan any longer. Then, he could just break in and save his mother.
”How's the gathering of forces going?” Mu Chen asked.
At this time, the Mu Estate's territories had expanded significantly, and they now occupied half of the North Region. As such, they were now countless forces, both large and small, that must be brought under control.
”It's going very well.” Mandela nodded delicately.
After Mu Chen had displayed his terrifying strength and background, almost no one in the whole North Region dared to show even the slightest dissatisfaction with the Mu Estate. As such, the task of gathering these forces had been surprisingly smooth, and some forces were even eager to be put under the protection of the Mu Estate.
Upon hearing her words, Mu Chen smiled and nodded. He then stretched lazily and said, ”In that case, I'll leave the Mu Estate matters to you.”
Hearing this, Mandela immediately rolled her eyes and asked, ”You are abandoning the Mu Estate again?”
”As I have fought for the territory, I will, of course, now hand over the management to you!” Mu Chen said unabashedly.
He then chuckled and said, ”Besides, now that I have obtained the Qi into Trinity's second level of reflection from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, I need to decipher it in peace.”
Mandela rolled her eyes one more time, but did not say another word. She knew that if the Mu Estate was to continue to grow, it must have a strong pillar. Now that Mu Chen had surpassed her, he was the only one who could be this pillar.
As Mu Chen looked up, he suddenly saw Tang Bing's figure approaching, and he quickly patted Mandela on the shoulder and said, ”I'll leave it to you then.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared into thin air. Looking at Mu Chen's retreating figure, Mandela shook her head.
She then looked at Tang Bing, who had just appeared beside her. ”Report all of the matters of the Mu Estate to me in future, as that guy has disappeared again!”
Upon hearing this, Tang Bing looked towards the direction where Mu Chen had just disappeared. Her bright eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but she nodded and smiled anyway.
…
In the Ancient Celestial Palace, the Heavenly River's vast spiritual power permeated heaven and earth. In the depths of the Heavenly River, Mu Chen sat quietly, preparing to continue deciphering the Qi into Trinity's second level of reflection.
In his perception, he seemed to have accessed the second level of the Tri-Union Level threshold. As such, he believed that he just needed an opportunity to truly break through.
”I can meditate in peace at last,” he murmured.
In order to procure the subordinates' loyalty, he had been staying in the Mu Estate. This had resulted in him having less time to cultivate. Now that the overall situation was relatively stable, he finally had time to refocus his energy on his cultivation.
Gradually, Mu Chen closed his eyes and his mind became transfixed. However, as Mu Chen began to meditate, he did not know that a shadow was charging at full speed towards the Tianluo Continent!
That beautiful figure had a cold temperament, just like an iceberg. She was Qing Shuang, who Mu Chen had met before in the Ancient Holy Gulf.
At this time, Qing Shuang was rushing at full speed, her face solemn. As she looked at the map in her hand, which showed the coordinates of the Tianluo Continent, her fists were clenched.
Mu Chen... Aunt Jing is in trouble!
