Chapter 817 - Meeting of the Two Powerhouse

In the past, the Greatlaw Plaza was in a sealed state, only opened on important occasions. The King's Ceremony was clearly an important occasion, so today, this place was filled with bustling noises.

The plaza was so vast that the end could not be seen. It was filled with a multitude of people and the bustling noises here were so loud that they soared into the clouds, before spreading out, and could be heard anywhere within the Greatlaw Sky.

Not only was this place the most bustling in the Greatlaw Sky, but it was also probably the most bustling territory in the entire Great Havenlaw Domain.

At the centre of the plaza, there was a huge stone stage, also known as the King's Ceremony Stage, in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Every single birth of a new King in the Great Havenlaw Domain was held here.

Bustling noises had enveloped this entire region. Furthermore, there were figures still flying over from the distant place, with endless streaks of light flowing over before landing amongst the spectators.

At the front of the plaza were several towering stone thrones that were distinctively classified. The highest one was a golden throne, dazzled with golden light under the sunlight that vaguely emitted a pressure from the throne.

When Mu Chen and Nine Nether appeared here, they had undoubtedly attracted lots of attention over. Right now, the Nine Nether Palace wasn’t like the past and everyone knew that the weakest faction among the Kings in the past was rising. Therefore, when the experts of the Great Havenlaw Domain saw the arrival of Nine Nether and Mu Chen, their gazes became much more grave compared to the past.

In the past year, the reputation of the Nine Nether Palace was growing with each passing day in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Those gazes briefly stopped on Nine Nether, before shifting towards Mu Chen, who was beside her. There were many gazes looking at him. After all, his name was resounding in the entire Northern Region in the recent period.

His achievements in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven had left even some veteran experts in the Great Havenlaw Domain to feel inwardly shocked. Furthermore, they were clear that Mu Chen had only been in the Great Havenlaw Domain for less than a year.

If he was given more time, he would definitely become a powerhouse in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Nine Nether and Mu Chen paid no attention to those gazes and landed before the Nine Nether Palace’s group, waiting for the King's Ceremony to start.

Standing beside Nine Nether, Mu Chen’s gaze had swept out in the plaza. Over here, the other eight Kings have arrived. Judging from the looks of this, this King's Ceremony was clearly extremely important.

When Mu Chen was sweeping his gaze around, the gazes of the eight Kings had also briefly stopped on him. The Asura King and Mountain Splitting King had a hint of admiration in their eyes. Clearly, his performance in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven had not only won over the younger generations of the Northern Region, but even veterans like them also exclaimed in admiration.

Naturally, the Blood Hawk King, who had been targeting Mu Chen and Nine Nether right from the start, was gritting his teeth. Back then, when Mu Chen entered the Great Havenlaw Domain, the latter was only an ant that he could easily squash. But it was this ant that greatly humiliated the Blood Hawk Hall.

Right now, after less than a year, the ant in his eyes had grown to a height that even he was inwardly shocked. Although the Blood Hawk King could still suppress Mu Chen, he had to admit that he would have to pay a price in order to achieve it, since this youth before him was no longer an ant like the past.

The changes in that position clearly made the Blood Hawk King feel unhappy in his heart. But no matter how unhappy he was, he no longer dared to do anything to Mu Chen. That’s because practically everyone in the Great Havenlaw Domain knew that he had some relationship with the Domain Ruler. With the Domain Ruler looking after him, not to mention about him, even the Spiritual Pupils Emperor, who was backing him did not dare to do anything to Mu Chen.

Therefore, he could only swallow up all the unhappiness.

Whoosh!

When the various Kings were secretly looking at Mu Chen, there was a sharp wind-breaking sound, along with a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation, which attracted much attention.

“That fellow Qin Zhong… is finally here!”

“Haha, I knew he would not let this chance pass!”

“Except, I don’t know if he can be successfully be bestowed kingship.”

“…”

When that wind-breaking noise rang out, it had caused an uproar in the Greatlaw Plaza, he was evidently recognized.

“Greatlaw City’s City Lord, Qin Zhong?” Mu Chen’s gaze lightly flashed at this moment as well.

Under many gazes, that streak of light appeared in the air above the plaza in a flash, before cupping his fists towards everyone.

Looking over, Mu Chen saw a tough and stocky-built middle-aged man with a clear laugh hung on his face, an appearance that gave others a favourable impression.

Powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations were faintly visible around the middle-aged man. According to Mu Chen’s estimations, Qin Zhong’s strength was probably not any weaker than the Netherworld Prince.

“After so many years, that fellow seems to have improved quite a bit.” Nine Nether swept a glance at Qin Zhong as she lightly cast her lips aside.

Mu Chen looked at Nine Nether in surprise. Judging from her tone, she seemed to have some relation with this Qin Zhong.

Before he could even pop the question, Qin Zhong had directly walked towards their Nine Nether Palace’s location as his laughter rang out. “Haha. Little Nine Nether, it has been some time since we last met. After disappearing for so long, I thought that you’d failed your evolution.”

“After so many years, you’ve still not broken through to the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm. With this cultivating speed… you still have the cheek to come participate in the King's Ceremony?” Nine Nether lazily said, without giving any face in her tone.

Qin Zhong’s face turned stiff. “No matter what, I have still helped you in the past. Can you not strike me like this.”

Mu Chen couldn’t help laughing from the side as he found this Qin Zhong to be an interesting person.

Hearing the laughter, Qin Zhong’s gaze shifted towards Mu Chen and said with his eyes narrowed, “You must be Mu Chen, whose fame has been spreading widely in the Northern Region, right? The younger generations will surpass us in time, having such an achievement at such a young age.”

“City Lord Qin Zhong is flattering me.”

Mu Chen cupped his fist with a smile. From his initial contact with Qin Zhong, he had some favourable opinion of him. That’s because he could feel that Qin Zhong’s straightforward character wasn’t an act. Furthermore, judging from the gazes from the surroundings directed at Qin Zhong, his human relations seemed to be pretty good in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

“Don’t flaunt your seniority, you might not have a share in this King's Ceremony.” Nine Nether said faintly.

Qin Zhong was stunned, before giving a thoughtful glance at Mu Chen and smiled. “It doesn’t matter, since I have failed for so many years. Failing another time doesn’t matter. But if we have to fight, I will give it my all. At that time, I will see how formidable the young expert that’s ranked third on the Dragon-Phoenix Record really is.”

Hearing his words, Mu Chen’s gaze suddenly narrowed, just when he was about to speak. At the same time, Qin Zhong and Nine Nether had raised their heads. In the azure horizon, a strand of black smoke whistled over like a meteorite, containing a chilling cold that wanted to freeze the blood of others.

Many experts raised their heads as they looked at the black smoke that streaked across the horizon. When the black smoke swept over, it turned into a black tornado and fell onto the plaza. When the black smoke dissipated, a black-robed figure appeared in everyone’s eyes.

That person had a somewhat handsome feature, except that his gaze was extremely cold and his thin lips looked like blades that struck a chill in others.

At this moment, he wore a smile as he looked at everyone in the plaza and cupped his fists, “Qiu Taiyin of the Ghost Moon Sect greets everyone here.”

Echos resounded in this plaza. Qiu Taiyin was a somewhat famous character amongst the veterans in the Gret Havenlaw Domain. After all these years, he was known to be the first beneath the Kings of the Great Havenlaw Domain. This time, in participating in the King's Ceremony, he was the most favourable one to obtain the tenth King’s seat.

This was indeed a meeting of two powerhouses.

“He’s the Sect Master of the Ghost Moon Sect, Qiu Taiyin?” Mu Chen’s gaze was also looking at Qiu Taiyin with his brows lightly knitted. He sensed a faint danger coming from the latter.

Qiu Taiyin was indeed worthy of his fame in the Great Havenlaw Domain. It looked like in this King's Ceremony, wanting to bar the way of this fellow was not going to be an easy task.

Dong!

When Mu Chen’s gaze was flickering, a bright ringing bell sound resounded throughout this region. Shortly after, everyone’s hearts moved as they raised their heads. On the golden throne up on the plaza, space distorted and a petite figure slowly appeared.

Beneath the golden throne, the Three Emperors had also appeared, overlooking the experts of the Great Havenlaw Domain in the plaza.

“We respectfully welcome the Domain Lord!”

All the experts in this region cupped their fists as they said in respectful tones that resounded throughout this region.

Mandala lightly waved her hand and her golden pupils faintly swept through all the experts on the field. Her gaze swept past Qin Zhong and Qiu Taiyin, before briefly stopping on Mu Chen, then her tender voice imposingly rang out.

“In this King's Ceremony, there are three people qualified to be titled ‘King’.”

The voices in this region had turned silent with only Mandala’s voice resounding throughout this region. Every expert had their bodies tense up, since only those that were approved by Mandala could have the qualifications to fight for the tenth King’s seat!

“Greatlaw City’s City Lord, Qin Zhong.”

“Ghost Moon Sect’s Sect Master, Qiu Taiyin.”

Some regretful voices resounded in the Greatlaw Plaza, since it was pretty much expected. After all, the two of them were the ones with the most qualifications and abilities to fight for the King’s seat.

Just as they felt pity, Mandala’s voice briefly paused, before sounding out again.

“Nine Nether Palace, Mu Chen.”
