The Great Ruler (Web Novel)
chapter-813

When Cai Xiao’s voice rang out in this region with chilled ridicule, the entire region instantly turned quiet with many experts being dumbstruck…

The Cai Xiao before them was actually the daughter of the Endless Fire Territory’s Flame Emperor?!

Gulp.

Many experts couldn’t help swallowing a mouthful of saliva with shock in their eyes. The Endless Fire Territory was a genuine colossal existence in the Great Thousand World. Not to talk about their Northern Realm, even in the entire Great Havenlaw Domain, there weren’t many forces that would dare to provoke it.

Furthermore, the founder of the Endless Fire Territory, the Flame Emperor held great authority in the Great Thousand World. Although the history of the Endless Fire Territory was short compared to other powerful forces, everyone knew that the Endless Fire Territory was one of those forces that ranked top in the list of the worst choice to offend.

Main reason for it was because of the Flame Emperor’s reputation. Even amongst the Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World, the Flame Emperor had stood out.

Therefore, when everyone heard that Cai Xiao’s father was the legendary Flame Emperor, how could they not be shocked in their hearts? Thereafter, they directed their faces at the Myriad Viper Sovereign, who had an extremely unsightly expression.

Although the Myriad Viper Sovereign could be an Overlord in the Northern Region, with many people looking up at his strength as an Earth Sovereign, he was like a firefly compared to the Flame Emperor, who was like a moon.

Therefore, many of those gazes held sympathy, since the Myriad Viper Sovereign was truly unfortunate and actually dared to look for trouble with the daughter of the Flame Emperor…

If he had angered the Endless Fire Territory, the Serpent God Palace would probably be reduced to ashes.

Under the sympathetic gazes, the Myriad Viper Sovereign’s face, which was pale to begin with, became even more pale. His expression was stiff as he looked at the flaming image above Cai Xiao, feeling the trouble in his heard. That’s because only someone at his level would understand what a Heavenly Sovereign represented.

It represented the genuine superiority.

Cai Xiao coldly looked at the Myriad Viper Sovereign and sneered, “Weren’t you very interested in me earlier? If you think that there’s a need, I can call my dad over to talk with you.”

The Myriad Viper Sovereign’s heart trembled as he revealed a smile on his stiffened face. “I was just being impulsive earlier, I have no intention to offend you.”

There wasn’t any killing intent contained in the Myriad Viper Sovereign’s words and his attitude was extremely low. He was probably startled by Cai Xiao’s background. After all, even someone of his calibre wasn’t the top amongst the powerhouses in the Northern Region, not to mention comparing to the Endless Fire Territory, which was filled with experts.

“Then, you’re not going to take vengeance for your broken tail?” Cai Xiao said with indifference.

The Myriad Viper Sovereign dryly smiled. It was naturally impossible for him not to have any anger in his heart, but so what? Was he really going to kill Cai Xiao? Before the eyes of so many, if this matter were to spread out, he would probably be heavily pursued by the Endless Fire Territory.

“It was my fault for being inferior, I bid my farewell.”

The Myriad Viper Sovereign had completely lost his face today, so he had no intention to stay here any longer. Furthermore, he was truly afraid of enraging Cai Xiao. If she really called the Flame Emperor here, even if the Endless Fire Territory was extremely far from the Northern Region, an expert of that calibre could still transmit a projection over through space as long as the Flame Emperor had sensed it.

The Myriad Viper Sovereign clenched his teeth, turned around, dragged the half of his body and disappeared. Evidently, his leaving silhouette looked a little pathetic.

At this point in time, Chi Xue’s vengeance no longer mattered. Even if that fellow had not died, the Myriad Viper Sovereign would want to smack him to death at this moment as well. Luring such a huge trouble, he would only be a calamity if he was allowed to live.

Many experts had their mouths widened as they watched the Myriad Viper Sovereign leave in such a miserable manner. It was hard for them to accept that an Earth Sovereign powerhouse would also be in such a miserable state.

“What a terrifying Endless Fire Territory… what a terrifying Flame Emperor.”

Mu Chen was also shakened by this scene with an awed expression on his face. An Earth Sovereign was high up in his eyes. But before the Endless Fire Territory, such an expert could only be like a mouse that ran into a cat. He could tell how fearsome a pinnacle expert like the Flame Emperor, as well as a huge force like the Endless Fire Territory, was.

“The Flame Emperor is indeed an extraordinary figure.” Even Mandala had nodded her head. Even someone as prideful as her had to admit how outstanding the Flame Emperor was. Even in the Great Thousand World, where all experts assembled, the Flame Emperor’s reputation was still resounding.

On another side of the sky, Liu Tiandao’s face was extremely unsightly at this scene. He originally intended to join forces with the Myriad Viper Sovereign to force Mandala to hand the people over. But he never expected that the sudden emergence of the Flame Emperor’s daughter would force the Myriad Viper Sovereign to flee in such a miserable manner. This time, he had fell into an awkward position instead.

“Liu Tiandao, your helper doesn’t seem to be useful.” Mandala looked at Liu Tiandao with dense mockery in her tender voice.

Liu Tiandao’s face turned dark, especially when he saw Cai Xiao’s cold gaze directing over, the corner of his lips couldn’t help twitching.

Judging from the current situation, the daughter of the Flame Emperor seemed to have quite a deep relationship with Mu Chen. If he forcefully made his move here, there might be an unexpected situation appearing.

Although the strength of his Sky Profound Palace was stronger than the Serpent God Palace, even though his strength had surpassed the Myriad Viper Sovereign as well, he was still nothing compared to a colossal figure like the Endless Fire Territory.

So, in the current situation, Liu Tiandao was trapped in a dilemma.

“Great Havenlaw Domain Ruler, don’t be too happy. I heard that in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, you guys have practically offended everyone. I suppose that the Netherworld Palace and the Divine Pavilion will not let this matter to rest. At that time, when the Hunting War begins, perhaps your Great Havenlaw Domain might be the target of everyone.” Liu Tiandao eerily looked at Mandala as he sneered.

“If they really think that my Great Havenlaw Domain is a pushover, they are welcome to give it a try.” Mandala’s face was cold as she continued, “But even if my Great Havenlaw Domain is destroyed, I will definitely pull your Sky Profound Palace along with us.”

“Really?”

Liu Tiandao returned tit-for-tat as he waved his hand. “Then I’ll watch how your Great Havenlaw Domain survives the Hunting War!”

Leaving his words behind, Liu Tiandao knew that he could no longer make his move. Therefore, he could only give a glare at Mu Chen, the chill in his eyes even made the latter feel a stinging pain on his skin.

But facing Liu Tiandao’s gaze, which was filled with killing intent, Mu Chen maintained a calm face, and seeing him, Liu Tiandao could only let out a cold snort, before disappearing within the distortion of space.

Along with Liu Tiandao’s departure, the suffocating Spiritual Energy pressure in this region disappeared and many expert felt heavily relieved.

Mandala raised her face and looked in the direction that Liu Tiandao left in, then lightly knitted her brows.

“Will it be troublesome?” Mu Chen moved closer to Mandala as he asked in a soft voice. Although Liu Tiandao’s words were not trustworthy, he could vaguely sense how brutal the Hunting War was. Under that competition, even a peak force like the Great Havenlaw Domain might be annihilated.

“That level of competition isn’t something that can be changed by the matters in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven.” Mandala shook her head. Her words naturally meant that regardless of the fights in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, it wouldn’t greatly affect the Hunting War.

“But there is bound to be some trouble… After all, even a peak force would be annihilated and devoured in the Hunting War.” Mandala faintly smiled with a chill circulating in her eyes. “But my Great Havenlaw Domain is not a lamb for slaughtering. If anyone wants to take a bite or two, they will definitely be bitten instead.”

Mu Chen could only nod his head as he vaguely felt how brutal the Great Thousand World was. Even a force as powerful as the Great Havenlaw Domain could only fall victim to being preyed upon.

In another part of the sky, Cai Xiao approached and gave a light smile towards Mandala, showing her respect. The latter had also nodded her head. Facing the daughter of the Flame Emperor, even someone as indifferent as Mandala would have to be a little courteous.

“I will be leaving here.” Cai Xiao looked at Mu Chen, chuckled and extended her hand. “It was a delightful cooperation.”

Cai Xiao wasn’t someone from the Northern Region, so it wasn’t unexpected that she had to leave. But after so many days of interaction, he had a pretty good feeling for the former. Therefore, he was willing to make such a friend.

“It was a delightful cooperation, thanks for this time.” Mu Chen said. Not only had Cai Xiao given him a lot of help in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, she even dealt with the earlier predicament, which made Mu Chen feel a little grateful in his heart.

Cai Xiao shook her hand and smiled. “Since you know my identity now, what do you think of me inviting you to the Endless Fire Territory?”

Mandala’s brows were raised as she cast a glance at Mu Chen. However, she did not speak a single word.

Mu Chen was also stunned, then shook his head with a smile. The current situation made him recall him meeting Lin Jing in the Merchant Continent back then. She was the princess of the Martial Realm, with a status that wasn’t inferior to Cai Xiao’s. She had also extended her invitation to him but was rejected. There still weren’t any changes in the reason for him to refuse.

What he needed was not protection.

Not only was Cai Xiao surprised by Mu Chen’s refusal, the admiration in her eyes grew deeper as she looked at him with a smile. “I understand. I look forward to our next meeting. I wish to know what height will you reach at that time.”

Finishing her words, she did not stay any longer. She waved her hand and left. Her beautiful silhouette had turned into a streak of light that swiftly disappeared into the horizon.

Looking at Cai Xiao’s leaving silhouette, Mu Chen couldn’t help clenching his hands. If they met the next time, he couldn’t be relying on her help again. Therefore, he had to work harder on his cultivation.
