For the remaining days, Mu Chen, Ling Xi, and Long Xiang stayed in the courtyard and did not go out. However, Lin Jing and Xiao Xiao visited them often and livened up the place, thus they did not feel bored.

Although Mu Chen and his companions were seldom out, they could feel that the Budur Territory had become more bustling with people. There would be spiritual vessels whizzing past in the sky every day, and the supreme powers that came out of the spiritual vessels had a stronger base than the Mu Estate. Mu Chen sighed when he saw it. The five big ancient clans were indeed extraordinary. The special treatment they had received made them stand out from the ordinary top forces.

As more and more top forces gathered in the Budur Territory, the Budur Ancient Clan announced that the Contest of the Lineages would take place in another three days.

Three days quickly passed by.

…

Three days later, chiming sounds resounded continuously in the entire Budur Territory.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

When the chiming sounds resounded, air-rending sounds filled up the area. Many shadows shot up into the sky and darted toward the mountain. The area was filled with excitement, as this was the day the opening ceremony of the Budur Ancient Clan's Contest of the Lineages was held.

Mu Chen stood in the courtyard and looked calm as he watched the bustling scene. Ling Xi and Long Xiang looked grave, as they knew that Mu Chen planned to strike on this particular day.

A lady hurriedly came into the courtyard, and she was none other than Qing Shuang. When she saw Mu Chen, she took out an object from her sleeve. It was a green token amulet with the word ”Head” engraved on it.

When Qing Shuang looked at the green token amulet, she looked perplexed, contrary to her usual cold look. She said softly, ”This is the Lineage Head Token Amulet of our Qing lineage. The person who holds this token amulet is the head of our lineage.

”Although we have no idea what you intend to do, you will have to keep the Lineage Head Token Amulet with you at the Contest of the Lineages. This token amulet means that you are the head of our Qing lineage. Even if the elders pronounce you to be a perpetrator, they will not be able to object your participation in the contest. They can only deal with you after they have called for a meeting at the Elder Academy.”

When Mu Chen heard it, he was shocked. Apparently, he had not expected the Qing lineage to pass their Lineage Head Token Amulet to him. If things got out of hand, the Qing lineage would be implicated by him.

”Aunt Xuan has said that if we fail this time around, our Qing lineage will be downgraded as one of the lineages. This blow will be too great for us. Instead of allowing the Xuan lineage and the Mo lineage suppress us, we might as well work hand in hand with you,” Qing Shuang said with a sigh when she saw Mu Chen's astonished look.

After Mu Chen had calmed down, he pondered for a while before stretching out his hand to take the Lineage Head Token Amulet from Qing Shuang. With this token amulet, he could carry out his plan more smoothly. The Budur Ancient Clan would not be able to stop him now.

”One more thing. Aunt Xuan has instructed me to inform you that she has completed the task that you have asked her to do,” Qing Shuang said.

Mu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Since this had been settled, he would have enough bargaining power to take the Budur Ancient Clan on.

”Mu Chen… can you really help our Qing lineage secure our seats?” Qing Shuang asked after she hesitated for a while.

This was very important to their Qing lineage. Qing Shuang did not know why Aunt Xuan had put her complete trust in Mu Chen, as he had just stepped into Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign. His strength was only at the initial stage of Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign, and with this level of strength in the Budur Ancient Clan, he would not rightfully be able to help them out of their crisis.

Mu Chen smiled and said, ”Since you have entrusted this task to me, I will do my best to accomplish it.” He smiled faintly, and the glow in his eyes was full of confidence. Anyone who saw it would have trusted him.
