“Great Thousand Palace?!”

The three of them looked at the golden token as it glowed in the sky. Shock flitted across their faces, as they clearly recognized the token’s origin. They also knew exactly what the Great Thousand Palace represented. It was one of the top supreme powers in the Great Thousand World, and in ancient times, it was the strongest shield against the invasion of the Extraterritorial Race.

Even in times of peace, it was rare to hear news of the Great Thousand Palace, but it did not mean that it had disappeared. It just lurked quietly, like a giant beast, hidden in the darkness of the Great Thousand World. No one would doubt the power of the Great Thousand Palace. Even the five most ancient tribes in the world maintained respect and fear in the face of the Great Thousand Palace.

The three did have supreme powers backing them, but compared to the Great Thousand Palace, it was no wonder that Mu Chen regarded them as insignificant. With the Great Thousand Palace as his background, no one would dare to touch him, indeed. However, the Great Thousand Palace had always been low-key, rarely meddling in the world’s power struggles, so why would Mu Chen have their token?

Most importantly, the words “Demon Slayer King” were engraved on the token. It was rumored that in today’s Great Thousand Palace, there was only one Demon Slayer King. The token would never leave his body, so how did Mu Chen acquire another token? Sage Zi Yun and the two others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Sage Zi Yun’s gaze flickered as he said gravely, “We have never heard of a second Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace.”

Mu Chen replied casually, “Well, haven’t you just now?” He looked at the three men with a cryptic smile and said, “Do you suspect this is false? Just report it to the supreme power behind you.”

Seeing Mu Chen’s nonchalance, their hearts jumped and gradually sank. Mu Chen would know the consequences of impersonating a Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace. If it ended up being investigated, the Great Thousand Palace would not take things lightly. However, he was still pulling out the Demon Slayer King Token, which meant he was not worried about the Great Thousand Palace investigating.

Was it true that this guy had become the second Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace? If this was really the case, then this time they were afraid they could only unwillingly retreat. Even with the supreme power behind them, they would never dare to provoke the majesty of the Great Thousand Palace. Thinking about this, the three looked as if they had each swallowed a fly.

Seeing the three eat humble pie and swallow their indignation, Mu Chen smiled. He had revealed the Great Thousand Palace to frighten the supreme powers behind them. In a sense, it was like the fox assuming the majesty of the tiger, but he had no fear of doing so. According to the negotiations with the Great Thousand Palace, although he did not have the rights of a Demon Slayer King, he still had the status. If those Heavenly Sovereigns were to touch him, they also had to give respect to the Great Thousand Palace.

While the four men were speaking, numerous forces in the North Region had also come back to their senses. After recovering from their shock, they had come to know the meaning of the golden token. As a result, the various forces looking at Mu Chen were suddenly jealous.

That was the Great Thousand Palace, one of the greatest supreme powers in the Great Thousand World! Who would have thought that behind the Mu Estate stood such a powerful background? If Sage Zi Yun and the others had known earlier, they would not have dared to provoke the Mu Estate.

With such a strong background, plus a gifted, unfathomable Estate Master, the Mu Estate’s future prospects were unimaginable. Everyone’s heated glances came as a surprise to the Sovereigns of the Mu Estate, as this development had also been unexpected to all of them.

“How did Estate Master have the Demon Slayer King Token of the Great Thousand Palace?” Liu Tiandao and others could not help asking. Some were excited, some perturbed. They were also well aware of the consequences of impersonating a Great Thousand Palace Demon Slayer King, fearing that Mu Chen had done it on a whim. In that case, that would lead to a great disaster for the Mu Estate.

Mandela shook her head when she heard the words. Her eyes were equally full of surprise, apparently unaware of this.

As the Sovereigns of the Mu Estate were perturbed, Ling Xi smiled and said, “This is indeed true. Mu Chen is now a Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace.”

Gasp!

Hearing Ling Xi’s confirmation, Liu Tiandao and the others immediately gasped. Their perturbed expressions instantly vanished as excitement poured out. They knew that once they acquired this background, the rise of their Mu Estate would be phenomenal. The entire Tianluo Continent would not even dare to touch the Mu Estate, let alone the North Region!

An uproar arose in the North Region Domain. Among countless fervent gazes, Mu Chen stared at the three men, and then pointed to the spiritual energy map in the sky as he said, “Now, do you have any other opinions regarding my division?”

He paused and said, “Of course, if the supreme power behind you has a problem, it can be discussed.”

The three men’s faces twitched for a moment, but they were silent. Now the Mu Estate directly occupied half of the territory of the North Region. The blow to their three sects undoubtedly cut to the bone, but even so, what else could they do? They had an alliance, but Mu Chen still defeated them. No matter how strong their supreme forces were, could they be stronger than the Great Thousand Palace? The situation was not in their favor at all, and no matter how unwilling they were, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept it.

In the North Region Domain, as many forces saw that the three men had been silenced, their hearts jolted. They knew that from now on, the ruling of the North Region would be completely changed. Once the three tyrants, whom no one dared to challenge, began to withdraw, the newly risen Mu Estate would become the master of the North Region.

Seeing the silent acceptance of the three, Mu Chen nodded in satisfaction and smiled. “So, from today onwards, these territories belong to the Mu Estate.” As he spoke, his gaze swept over the innumerable forces of the North Region Domain, and at the same time, all the Sovereigns hung their heads slightly and dared not look at the new Overlord of the North Region.

“Now, all forces within these territories are prohibited from moving. After our Mu Estate is reorganized, you will be under my command.” Mu Chen’s voice spread in the North Region Domain, causing an uproar again.

The three’s expressions once again twisted into something ugly. Mu Chen not only occupied their territory but also dominated the forces under their command. Compared to the three’s gloomy expressions, those who were declared to be under the command of the Mu Estate were surprisingly not opposed to it. Instead, they were subtly happy.

After all, no matter which side’s command they were under, they would have to pay a tribute. Compared with the three old tyrants, there was no doubt that the new Mu Estate now had more potential. If they could join it at this time, maybe they would grow even stronger than they were today. What’s more, they enjoyed more shade backed by a big tree. With the Great Thousand Palace backing them up, the Mu Estate’s potential was absolutely stronger than the Purple Cloud Sect, Thunder Mountain, and Golden Eagle Mansion’s!

The other forces that had not been included in the Mu Estate’s forces were silent, but in the eyes of those forces, there was a hidden envy. A fine fowl perches only on a fine tree, and a virtuous minister serves only a virtuous master. They had also hoped to have a stronger force backing them up.

Mu Chen did not pay attention to the three’s faces as he surveyed the surroundings and said nonchalantly, “Today’s matters will come to an end now, right?”

It was not that he did not want the Mu Estate to unify the North Region directly and become a well-deserved overlord, however, he did not feel that now was the best time to do so. Occupying half of the North Region was enough for the Mu Estate to digest for a while. Moreover, if his appetite was really too big, it would rouse the supreme powers behind the three to show their hands. Even with the Great Thousand Palace as a deterrent, it would still put the Mu Estate in danger.

The wrath of a Heavenly Sovereign was difficult to bear.

Thus, Mu Chen’s plans of dominating the North Region temporarily slowed down. When he broke through the rank of Heavenly Sovereign in the future, with no fear of those supreme forces, he would not even have to contend for the North Region. It naturally would fall under the Mu Estate’s control.

The three were full of anger seeing Mu Chen being so overbearing, but there was no place to vent. They reluctantly forced a smile, saying, “Now that Estate Master Mu has won, please help remove this from us.” A black liquid clung to the flesh on their chests. The terrible corrosiveness kept their spiritual powers in disarray. They were intent on expelling it, but found it extremely troublesome to get rid of.

Mu Chen looked at them and grinned. “Don’t worry, the Demonic Venom won’t kill you. With your strength, you should be able to get rid of it in about half a year.” Obviously, he did not intend to help relieve the suffering caused by the Demonic Venom. After all, Mu Chen found these three to be a nuisance. If he had not been wary of the supreme powers behind them, he might have killed them on the spot. Thus, he would not dispose of them today, but he also would not make things easy for them.

The three saw Mu Chen’s mocking glance and were enraged. However, they dared not vent their anger and could only huff. They then swept away from the North Region Domain without hesitation.

“Let’s go!” Their low voices reverberated in the North Region Domain, but their swift figures were undoubtedly dispirited. Those who still belonged with the three followed. Downcast under the influence of the situation, their majestic aura weakened.

Mu Chen stood in the air. He looked down at the North Region Domain. Now, in addition to many of the Mu Estate Sovereigns, there were many other forces, all of which were in the territory he had previously divided. In the future, they would also become affiliated forces of the Mu Estate. At this time, these forces were a bit uneasy. Previously, some of them had clashed with the Mu Estate Sovereigns. Thus, they were fearful that Mu Chen would not let matters go.

As soon as Mu Chen’s gaze swept over them, he seemed to sense their uneasiness. His nonchalant voice rang between heaven and earth, “I will let bygones be bygones. In the future, if you have merit, you will be given the same rewards as my Mu Estate Sovereigns. Of course, if you are disloyal, I will not show mercy in my punishments, either.”

Hearing this, the numerous forces suddenly rejoiced. In the next moment, deafening cheers of respect resounded throughout the North Region Domain. “We acknowledge the Estate Master’s orders!”

Liu Tiandao and the others looked at the grand situation and heaved a sigh of relief. They knew that perhaps after today, the reputation of their Mu Estate would completely spread throughout Tianluo Continent, and Mu Chen’s name would obviously be among the top levels on the continent.

Mandela raised her head and stared at the slender young figure in the sky. A smile appeared on her delicate face. “This guy actually did it.”
