Chapter 1423: One Versus the Entire Xuan Lineage
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mu Chen fell from the sky amid countless gazes, then landed on the white jade stone platform where the Xuan lineage was. His unexpected behavior immediately caused a great uproar among the onlookers...
”What? He's going to challenge the Xuan lineage?”
”This boy is too arrogant, as the Xuan lineage has seven elders. If he wants to win a seat from them, he must win at least four victories.”
”He's a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers! His desire is akin to a snake trying to swallow an elephant.”
”He is bold indeed, but isn't he worried that he's overestimating himself?”
Countless whispers broke out out among the crowd, as the people were all shocked by Mu Chen's choice. It was clear that the Xuan lineage was the toughest opponent to face in the present situation. As such, to many people, Mu Chen's choice seemed extremely reckless and unwise.
Even the elders of the Qing lineage, such as Qing Tian and Qing Xuan, were were stunned. They had thought that Mu Chen had other means, so they never expected that he would choose the most ferocious and direct way to fight! They had to wonder...
How could he possibly win?
The Xuan lineage had seven elders, three of which were Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereigns and four of which were God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns. If Mu Chen were to take on this challenge, he would have to win four victories in order to win a single seat.
Moreover, the Qing lineage could provide him with very little help. That was to say, Mu Chen was clearly intending to rely on his own strength to complete this challenge.
Just thinking about this was incredulous. After all, Mu Chen was only in the initial stage of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign level, and even the weakest of the seven Xuan lineage elders was also at this same level, while the rest were above this level!
Most importantly, even if Mu Chen really defeated the three Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereigns, in order to win, he would have to defeat a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign. His fighting a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign as a Spiritual Grade was even more unimaginable! Therefore, looking at the odds, Mu Chen had almost no chance of success.
”What exactly is this boy doing?” Elder Qing Yun could not help but wonder aloud.
Qing Tian reluctantly shook his head. At this time, it was useless to complain, and the situation was so disastrous that even if Mu Chen failed, it would not be any worse, just a little more humiliating.
As the three Qing lineage elders sighed secretly, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin saw this scene and sneered sarcastically. Mo Xin then said, ”That brat doesn't know what's good for him. Does he really think that, just by becoming a Heavenly Sovereign, he could wreak havoc in our Budur Ancient Clan? He's a mere Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign in his initial phase, so he isn't as powerful as he thinks he is.”
Many of the members of the Xuan lineage nodded in agreement, one after another. In their view, Mu Chen was seeking his own demise. On the mountain where the Qing lineage was located, many of the members also looked at each other. This time, even Qing Ling was hesitant and worried, and was apparently also frightened by Mu Chen's choice.
After all, he was going against seven Heavenly Sovereigns. It was incredible that Mu Chen intended to fight them head-on!
”Bravo! Mu Chen is indeed bold. His spirit is about to catch up with my dad's. Do you think Mu Chen will win?” Next to the main peak, Lin Jing clapped and grinned.
Unlike the others, she didn't think that Mu Chen was being arrogant. On the contrary, she had a great appreciation of his bold and brave spirit.
Xiao Xiao pondered over this seriously, a charming smile appearing on her face. She then said, ”Mu Chen is a man who acts after careful planning, and he would never do anything reckless. Since he has decided to do this, he must have some confidence in his capability to obtain the victory.”
At this point, she paused and smiled. ”But, I am curious too, as where this confidence came from.”
As they were standing beside the two women, Lin Diao and Yao Chen heard her words. They looked at each other and smiled. Lin Diao then said, ”Both of you have placed much faith in him.”
It was clear that they did not think that Mu Chen's act was reckless either. Although they did not have much knowledge of Mu Chen's capabilities, since Lin Dong and Xiao Yan valued him, that was enough to show them that he was not an ordinary person.
Amid the uproar, at the top of the seven white jade stone platforms of the Xuan lineage, the Xuan Lineage Head, Xuan Guang, stared coldly at Mu Chen. At this moment, even with his usual calm composure, he couldn't help laughing a bit maniacally out of anger. ”Alright, you're worthy of being Qing Yanjing's son indeed, as you are very bold.”
He then said, ”If you want to learn the strength of my Xuan lineage, we'll gladly show it to you today. All the elders... Listen to my orders! Show no mercy. Let this perpetrator feel the full power of our Xuan lineage.”
”Yes!” After hearing the Lineage Head's orders, the other six elders immediately responded in unison with deep voices.
They then glared threateningly at Mu Chen, who had directly challenged them in the presence of so many people and was clearly disdainful of them. Of course, they could not take this lying down!
From atop the main peak, the Great Elder Budur Xuan looked at this scene, his gaze flickering. In his view, Mu Chen was indeed too arrogant. He had decided to let the Xuan lineage suppress him first, so that he could understand that, even if he had stepped into the rank of Heavenly Sovereign, it was not enough to allow him to wreak havoc in their Budur Ancient Clan!
However, it was really not possible for him to let the Xuan lineage elders kill Mu Chen. In that case, with Qing Yanjing's temper, she would inevitably hold hatred against the Budur Ancient Clan and go on a rampage.
Then, even if the clan could subdue her, they would still pay an extremely heavy price! Such was a scene that the Great Elder did not want to see!
As Budur Xuan pondered this, Mu Chen, who was still in the sky, did not care about the sarcastic anger of the elders, but landed without delay on a white jade stone platform at the bottom of the Xuan lineage. As he landed, everyone looked towards his direction.
On this white jade platform was a Xuan lineage elder named Xuan Hai. His strength was also at the initial stage of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign level, which seemed to be on the same level as Mu Chen.
