The jade cup shattered into smithereens on the ground as Mu Chen stared at the gentle silhouette that entered the hall in utter disbelief. The slender figure had been imprinted on his heart and mind so deeply, that even though he had not seen her for many years, it still remained incomparably clear. That beautiful smile had always caused Mu Feng’s heart to flutter.

All that time ago, in order to protect the infant Mu Chen, Qing Yanjing had chosen to leave quietly. One could only imagine the pain that Mu Feng had felt at that time.

During the years that he was raising Mu Chen, Mu Feng carried so much loneliness and yearning within his heart. He thought of that beautiful silhouette every night and day, but he knew how difficult it would be for them to ever be together again. Thus, he never showed those emotions or longings to Mu Chen, but his heart had been anticipating their reunion all this time.

When Mu Chen left the Northern Spiritual Realm, he promised to bring Qing Yanjing back home. However, at the time, Mu Feng had merely regarded it as a passing remark, as he knew very well the difficulty of such a task. So, when he heard that Mu Chen had brought someone back with him, he had never thought that Mu Chen had actually succeeded in fulfilling his promise!

“Xiao Qing…” Mu Feng murmured as he looked at the silhouette, his voice trembling slightly.

The figure approached, then stood in front of Mu Feng. As she looked at the weary but determined man before her, she could not help but tear up.

At that time, she had lost her way and found herself in the Hundred Spirit Continent. She was severely injured and was almost crippled.

Moreover, as she was a Complete Earthly Sovereign, the dissipating spiritual energy in her body attracted all of the spiritual beasts in the forest, which tried to gnaw at her flesh.

In her time of despair, she met Mu Feng, who carried her up without hesitation and escaped from the many spiritual beasts. Even though he was badly bruised, in that moment of life and death, he never put her down.

Although Qing Yanjing had deemed his behavior a little silly and over the top, it had moved her and caused her heart to flutter. After all, it was extremely rare that someone would be willing to lay down their life to save someone else.

“You are getting old.” Qing Yanjing said as she touched Mu Feng’s face gently.

“You are still so beautiful. You haven’t changed at all,” Mu Feng whispered sheepishly.

“Didn’t you just say that you weren’t interested in me?” Qing Yanjing smiled.

Mu Feng was at a loss for what to say as he glared at Mu Chen, who was enjoying the show. “It’s this brat’s fault!” he then said.

Qing Yanjing chuckled, as she knew that Mu Feng was just feigning grouchiness good-naturedly. She stretched out her hand and held Mu Feng’s big rough palm, then said, “If it were not for Chen’er, I am afraid that I wouldn’t be here. You brought Chen’er up so well. Thank you. You have lived up to what I asked you to do.”

Mu Feng also sighed. In fact, he was astonished that his son had suddenly become so powerful and had grown into a promising talent. However, he could not show his bewilderment in front of his wife, so he immediately gave a slight cough.

“Although I put in a lot of effort nurturing him, this brat also has some kind of innate talent!” Upon hearing Mu Feng’s words, Mu Chen could not help but roll his eyes.

Mu Feng was embarrassed, as he saw that he was being watched by so many people. So, he quietly complained to Qing Yanjing, “Xiao Qing, this brat is really reckless. He caused me so much trouble the moment he came back.”

In fact, he was still fearful of even more trouble looming ahead even now… What if Lord Hundred Spirit’s parents arrive? How are they going to resolve this?

If things went awry, Me Feng decided that he would get Mu Chen to leave again with Qing Yanjing. Seeing him thinking so intensely, Qing Yanjing smiled and replied, “Chen’er knows what he’s doing. Let him be.”

She then glanced at Tang Qian’Er, who was beside them, and smiled gently. “You must be Qian’Er?”

Tang Qian’Er stared at Qing Yanjing. She had never seen Mu Chen’s mother before. She finally nodded at Qing Yanjing, confirming her identity. She then looked towards Mu Chen, as she did not know how to address Qing Yanjing.

“My mother’s name is Qing Yanjing.” Mu Chen smiled.

“Aunt Jing,” Tang Qian’Er bowed and greeted her politely.

Qing Yanjing smiled kindly and said, “Mu Chen told me that you both grew up together. Since you just called me Aunt Jing, I will give you a small gift.”

She took out a crystal pendant that had a small hexagonal crystal compass and was covered with mysterious runes.

“Thank you, Aunt Jing!” Tang Qian’Er held it and bowed in thanks, her expression one of joy.

However, she merely thought that the crystal pendant was beautiful, as only Mu Chen could sense that the crystal pendant contained an Ancestral Master-level Spiritual Array. In times of danger, it could even withstand a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign’s blow at full force! This was clearly a treasure that was meant for her protection.

At this time, Ling Xi and Long Xiang walked in. Long Xiang especially gained everyone’s attention at once.

The people present could not tell how powerful Mu Chen was, but they could feel the pressure that Long Xiang emanated, as he was also a true Complete Earthly Sovereign.

“This is Ling Xi, she has followed me all these years, and I think of her as my own daughter.” Qing Yanjing introduced Ling Xi to Mu Feng as she held her hand.

Ling Xi looked at Mu Feng earnestly and greeted him politely, “It’s nice to meet you, Uncle Mu.”

Mu Feng nodded with a smile, and was immediately fond of Ling Xi. He said to her kindly, “Well! Having a daughter is better than a son. You are so unlike that brat, who just wants to see me make a fool of myself all of the time!”

Ling Xi chuckled at his words.

“Greetings, Master. I am Mistress’ guard, Long Xiang.” Long Xiang bowed respectfully at Mu Feng.

Mu Feng quickly urged him to stand up, as he felt a little awkward with the formalities. Moreover, Long Xiang was a Complete Earthly Sovereign, and as such, he could easily dominate the entire Hundred Spirit Continent!

Even Lord Hundred Spirit would have to give face to him. However, he was being so respectful to him, and Mu Feng felt that he was undeserving of it.

So, in order to avoid further embarrassment, Mu Feng quickly turned to introduce Tang Shan and the other Northern Spiritual Alliance officials, who were also his friends. Qing Yanjing returned a gentle smile at each of their introductions.

Mu Chen tried not to laugh as he saw this scene. If they knew that his mother was a Divine Ancestral Master, they might not even have the courage to speak to her!

In the midst of the joyful reunion, the leaders of all of the forces in the hall were silent. They did not dare to disturb them, much less seek to make their acquaintances.

This was because, when Lord Hundred Spirit’s parents arrived, there was bound to be an earth-shaking battle. If Mu Chen lost, the happy reunion between husband and wife would quickly become a funeral procession. For this reason, no one dared to have a relationship with the Northern Spiritual Alliance at this time!

From the throne, Lord Hundred Spirit glared at them maliciously as he seethed… Laugh, laugh all you want, when my parents arrive, they will make you suffer a fate worse than death!

However, Mu Chen ignored Lord Hundred Spirit’s murderous glare. But, as the Northern Spiritual Realm was the fruit of all of Mu Feng’s labor on the Hundred Spirit Continent, although it meant nothing to Mu Chen now, it was of great significance to Mu Feng. So, in order for Mu Feng’s Northern Spiritual Alliance to maintain peace in the future, he must take care of everything now.

Whether it was Lord Hundred Spirit or the Beixuan Clan Leader supporting him, if he did not settle things completely now, it would inevitably lead to trouble in the future. While thinking of these things, Mu Chen sat down quietly as he waited for time to pass.

As time trickled by, the many leaders in the hall became restless. They could feel a storm approaching.

The setting sun gradually descended, while its remaining brilliant red glow shone on the Hundred Spirit City…

Buzz.

Suddenly, Mu Chen opened his eyes. He sensed that, in the city’s Transfer Spiritual Array, there had been a sudden and extremely powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy.

“They’re here at last,” Mu Chen remarked calmly.

As his voice rang out, a vast and endless force of spiritual energy swept through, shrouding the whole world within it. Countless people trembled under the pressure of that power. The strong spiritual pressure had just appeared, as if piercing through space, and emerged above the hall.

Boom!

The hall suddenly trembled violently at this time, as everyone saw that the roof of the hall had just been torn open. A terrifying spiritual oppression descended from the sky as a woman’s cold, murderous voice reverberated in everyone’s ears…

“Which ignorant fool dared to chop off my son’s arms? Get out!”
