The tense and sword drawn atmosphere instantly froze with Mu Chen's appearance. Luo Li, who was originally receiving the Luo God inheritance, almost stopped the inheritance the moment she saw that figure.
There was no helping it. In the current situation, Mu Chen's appearance would not provide any help, and might even drag her into danger.
After all, someone who had not even reached Earth Sovereign level would probably not even be able to save his own life against an opponent like the Blood God Clan.
However, all of this was abruptly halted because of Mandala's existence.
"Great Perfection Earth Sovereign." Xue Lingzi's expression changed abruptly as he sensed the powerful aura from Mandala.
"Who are you, and why are you interfering in the internal affairs of my Western Heaven Continent?!"
"This is the territory of the Western Heaven Battle Palace. Outsiders should not meddle."
Xue Lingzi's questioning caused Mandala's eyes to move slightly. From his reaction, it seemed that he still had backup arrangements.
After all, the strongest of the Blood God Clan was only an Greater Earth Sovereign. The rest were merely Lesser Earth Sovereigns. With just this level of strength, Mandala alone could completely sweep them away.
Mandala did not speak, instead allowing Mu Chen to take the lead.
This was not because Mandala did not want to help. As Xue Lingzi said, the Western Heaven Continent was ultimately within the influence of the Western Heaven Battle Palace. If external forces interfered without permission, it would inevitably incur the displeasure of the Western Heaven Battle Palace.
Of course, if a native force personally invited them, that would be another matter entirely.
After all, everyone had acquaintances and allies, and helping a friend was reasonable.
Thus, from the beginning to the end, the main character of this trip was Mu Chen.
At this moment, Mu Chen was not paying attention to the aggressive Blood God Clan experts in front of him. His gaze was completely fixed on the figure on the altar.
Looking at that familiar face that had appeared in his dreams countless times, Mu Chen took a deep breath and slowly said, "Luo Li, I've come to find you!"
"Mu Chen..."
Luo Li smiled softly as she called his name.
At this moment, all the suffering and waiting over the years seemed to turn into sweetness, flowing into the deepest part of her heart, something she would never forget even in death.
At that moment, Luo Li's tearful yet radiant smile was so beautiful that it caused everyone between heaven and earth to fall into a brief trance. Even Mu Chen himself was no exception, staring slightly blankly at that peerless beauty.
At this moment, all gazes between heaven and earth gathered on the two of them, and a question arose in countless minds.
Who is that?
Among the Luo God Clan, only Luo Tian Shen frowned slightly as he looked at the young man. He seemed to have seen him somewhere before.
It is him?!
Suddenly, a flash of light passed through Luo Tian Shen's eyes as the figure of a young man from years ago emerged in his mind, someone who could face him without the slightest inferiority.
He did not expect that in just a few years, this youth had already reached such a level of cultivation. Truly extraordinary talent.
Of course, that was all it was, extraordinary.
Compared to Mu Chen's strength at the same stage in the original timeline, the current Mu Chen was not yet enough to shock him.
However, from the auras of the two women following him, it was clear that this young man had come prepared.
On the other side, the Blood God Clan experts were filled with rage.
This brat actually dared to ignore them, truly courting death.
Even with an Great Perfection Earth Sovereign expert backing him, it was not a reason for a mere Ninth-Grade Sovereign to ignore the Blood God Clan.
"Arrogant brat!"
A Blood God Clan Earth Sovereign roared and struck out with a blood colored torrent.
Of course, he did not use his full strength. At most, he intended to teach Mu Chen a lesson and let him know that the Blood God Clan could not be insulted.
However, what shocked everyone was that Mu Chen showed no panic at all. He simply formed a hand seal, and a golden Array instantly spread across the sky.
Roar!
One after another earth shaking dragon roars sounded out. Three giant dragons emerged from the Array, opening their mouths as three dragon breaths shot out, directly swallowing the blood colored spiritual torrent and even forcing it back.
Bang bang bang!
That Blood God Clan Earth Sovereign was forced to retreat three steps in succession. Each step landed in midair, producing a loud explosion that even caused cracks in the air.
What?!
Everyone was stunned.
"A grandmaster level spiritual Array? This person is an Spiritual Array Scholar!"
The entire Luo God Clan erupted in shock.
After a brief shock, Luo Li's beautiful eyes immediately flashed with dazzling brilliance.
As expected, the person in her heart had not disappointed her.
Under countless shocked gazes, Mu Chen walked slowly to Luo Li, then gently wiped away the water droplets on her face and smiled, saying, "Focus on completing the Luo God Festival first."
After speaking, he slowly turned around under countless gazes.
Luo Tian Shen finally revealed an expression of disbelief.
How many years had it been? Back then, this young man had not even truly stepped into the Sovereign realm. Yet now he was already comparable to an Earth Sovereign?
An Spiritual Array Scholar, such an existence is even rarer than Earth Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World.
Luo Tian Shen looked at the upright young man like a spear and could only shake his head with a bitter smile.
Luo Li, it seems your judgment is indeed better than your grandfather's.
At this moment, Xue Lingzi stared at Mu Chen with blood colored eyes, suppressing his anger as he said, "Brat, who exactly are you? Report your name!"
Facing this killing intent filled voice, Mu Chen remained calm.
Once one has a powerful backing, one naturally becomes more composed.
"Skylaw Continent, Five Elements Divine Palace, Mu Chen."
These three names, apart from Skylaw Continent, the other two were completely unfamiliar.
Xue Lingzi was completely confused.
A person from the Skylaw Continent actually came all the way to the Western Heaven Continent to act so arrogantly?
However, judging from his interaction with Luo Li, their relationship was clearly not ordinary, which also explained his presence here.
"What Five Elements Divine Palace, never heard of it."
Xue Lingzi said coldly as his gaze fell on Mu Chen.
"Junior, I will give you a chance. Leave immediately now, and I can pretend nothing happened earlier. Otherwise, I will make you understand how foolish it is to offend the Blood God Clan."
Xue Lingzi felt he had already shown enough mercy. After all, a mere Great Perfection Earth Sovereign was not enough to make them fear him.
Moreover, he still had backup preparations this time.
With Mu Chen's personality, in such a situation, even knowing he was outmatched, he would not retreat. Not to mention he now had a powerful backing behind him.
Seeing Mu Chen's reaction, Xue Lingzi knew that this matter could no longer be resolved peacefully.
This instead allowed him to calm down.
"Since you refuse to take the path I offered, then do not blame me."
As his voice fell, he suddenly turned and cupped his fists toward the distant sky, respectfully saying, "Elder Winter, please appear!"
As Xue Lingzi's voice fell, the distant sky suddenly turned icy cold. Snow began to fall, and the entire world seemed to transform into a harsh winter.
Snowflakes filled the sky and suddenly gathered in front of Xue Lingzi, forming an old man in a white robe. His eyebrows and hair were completely white, his face thin and expressionless, with faint snow patterned light lines flickering on his face.
The members of the Five Elements Divine Palace naturally did not recognize this newcomer, but judging from his presence, both Mu Chen and Ling Xi showed solemn expressions, and even Mandala revealed a hint of surprise.
"Great Perfection Earth Sovereign?!"
"It is the Winter Elder!"
Luo Tian Shen and several experts of the Luo God Clan's expressions suddenly turned extremely ugly.
Even the former had cold sweat already seeping from his forehead.
If it were only an ordinary Great Perfection Earth Sovereign expert, it would not have terrified the Luo God Clan to such an extent. But when considering the other party's identity, Luo Tian Shen's heart had already begun to feel despair.
"You actually invited someone from the Western Heaven Battle Palace?!"
Luo Tian Shen stared at Xue Lingzi, his eyes blood red. Clearly, he had not expected that Xue Lingzi had plotted against the Luo God Clan to such an extent this time. This truly left them with no path of survival at all.
Xue Lingzi smiled sinisterly. Inviting this Winter Elder had cost their Blood God Clan an enormous price. This time, no matter how great Mu Chen's backing was, he would be doomed beyond salvation!
"Earlier I gave you a path to live, but you refused to take it. Now that you want to leave, it is already too late!" Xue Lingzi swept a cold gaze toward Mu Chen, killing intent once again surging in his eyes.
Unfortunately, after this Winter Elder appeared, his attention did not remain on the Blood God Clan or Luo God Clan experts, but instead turned toward the petite figure standing behind Mu Chen.
"Your Excellency should not be someone from outside the Western Heaven Continent. Now interfering so openly in the internal struggles of my Western Heaven Continent, I am afraid it does not comply with the rules set by my Western Heaven Battle Palace."
If Xue Lingzi's threat earlier could be ignored by Mandala, then the moment the name of the Western Heaven Battle Palace was brought out, the nature of the matter had completely changed.
The entire Western Heaven Continent was within the influence of the Western Heaven Battle Palace. If external forces intervened without permission, even if they were also a super force, it would mean going to war with the Western Heaven Battle Palace.
One must know that throughout the Great Thousand World, there had not been a war between super forces for a thousand years.
Mandala also frowned upon hearing this.
The current situation was different from the original story.
In the original, Mu Chen was the Lord of the Mu Abode, and he could be considered the son in law of the Luo God Clan, even the husband of the empress. He would have a legitimate reason to mobilize the Mu Abode's power to assist the Luo God Clan.
But now it was different. Mu Chen's status in the Five Elements Divine Palace was far lower, so Mandala also had to consider whether bringing such a powerful enemy upon them for his sake was worth it.
"No need to hesitate!"
Lu Bai's voice suddenly echoed in Mandala's ear.
Mandala's dignified and beautiful face flashed with a trace of surprise, but she still stepped forward to stand before the Winter Elder and said in a deep voice, "Mu Chen is an important member of my Five Elements Divine Palace. This trip to the Western Heaven Continent was also undertaken with the promise of my Palace Master. Therefore, I will support the Luo God Clan in this matter. If you intend to side with the Blood God Clan, then I will take you on."
These words immediately caused a flicker of surprise in the Winter Elder's eyes. He had never heard of this Five Elements Divine Palace before, yet the other party dared to be so forceful against the Western Heaven Battle Palace. Could it be a newly rising super force?
Mandala's words also moved Mu Chen deeply. He knew that if she dared to say this, it must have been instructed by Senior Lu Bai.
Thinking of this, Mu Chen could not help but glance toward Lu Bai's direction.
At this moment, Lu Bai was standing quietly there with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep. However, the corner of his lips carried a faint arc.
In reality, Lu Bai had already immersed most of his divine sense into the Luo River below.
Earlier, when he saw the Luo God Clan's Luo River Array, it had given him inspiration, and he had become extremely interested in this Luo River. More importantly, he was even more curious about the surging Luo Water beneath their feet.
It was said that the Luo Water was formed from the ancient Luo God herself, and even Heavenly Sovereigns could not fully probe its secrets once inside, and might even fall.
Just moments ago, when Luo Li was receiving the Luo God inheritance, Lu Bai had keenly sensed a trace of the secrets of this Luo Water. Thus, before the Luo God Festival ended, he immediately began to fully immerse himself in exploring its mysteries.
Although the process was still dangerous, Lu Bai had already gained considerable harvest. If he could further study the Luo God Clan's Luo River Array afterward, then perhaps the ancient mythological formation from his previous life, the Nine Curves Yellow River Array, could truly be recreated by him.
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Lu Bai's lips, and this smile happened to be seen by Mu Chen.
Considering that he still needed the Luo God Clan's assistance to recreate the array in his mind, Lu Bai naturally instructed Mandala to express support for the Luo God Clan without hesitation.
After seeing Mandala's stance, the Winter Elder slightly frowned, then quickly relaxed and revealed a strange smile.
"Hehe, very well. This time I came to the Luo God Clan, Xue Lingzi's invitation was merely a side task for me."
Mu Chen's heart suddenly trembled upon hearing this, an ominous feeling rising within him.
"I wonder what else this senior has come for?"
The Winter Elder merely glanced at him sideways and did not bother replying, but the contempt in his expression was clear to anyone.
He then looked at Luo Tian Shen and the others, before smiling toward Luo Li, who was undergoing her heavenly tribulation, and said, "This matter should be answered by the person involved herself."
Seeing his expression, Mu Chen's eyes darkened slightly.
It was not anger at the contempt, but rather a growing sense of unease.
Just as he was about to speak further, Mandala gently shook her head to stop him, so he could only remain silent and turn his gaze toward Luo Li's direction.
