Chapter 1295: The Meeting at Night

Although it was nighttime in the Holy Gulf City, the area was still bustling with activities. The large spiritual array covered the sky, making it the safest place in the continent.

This was especially important, as the continent was filled with danger. So, whenever the adventurers would come here, they were able to let down their guards.

Mu Chen sat cross-legged in one of the courtyards in the city. His eyes shut were shut tightly as he was pondering the experiences of the spiritual arrays that his mother had provided.

Although he had been on the go, he had not stopped his cultivation, and the outcome of those efforts had been pretty good. His attainment in spiritual arrays was better after having fostered such a deep understanding of them. In fact, he was now near to breaching the Advance Ancestral Master realm!

After pondering for two hours, Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes and stretched out his arms. As he flicked his fingers, spiritual seals gathered in his palms like stars. The spiritual seals then came together to form a complicated spiritual array.

Bang!

As the spiritual array was about to be formed, it shook and exploded. Mu Chen looked calmly at the spiritual array that had just dissipated. This spiritual array was given to him by his mother, and it was an Advance Ancestral Master’s Spiritual Array that was known as the Blazing Fire Array.

He had been studying this spiritual array recently, so he was familiar with it. However, he always ended up being unsuccessful in any attempts to master it. After all, an Advance Spiritual Array was not easy to set up!

Even so, Mu Chen had progressed well in his practice, and he started to grasp the important aspects of the spiritual array. He was sure that he would be able to control it very soon.

Suddenly, he lifted up his head to look at the sky and asked flatly, “Since you are here, why not show yourself?”

After he had spoken, there were some fluctuations in the space, and in the distance, he saw two people stepping forth from it. The one in front was the lady in white, who had been standing behind Elder Qing Xuan earlier that day. A young girl was standing beside her.

“Qing Shuang from the Qing lineage of the Budur Ancient Clan,” the cold-looking beautiful lady said as she looked at Mu Chen.

“Qing Ling from the Qing lineage,” the young girl then introduced herself, while looking more than a little prideful.

Mu Chen smiled and said, “I don’t know what you are talking about…” Although he was smiling, he sounded cold and unapproachable.

He then said, “Just tell me why you are here. If you want to bring me back to your Budur Ancient Clan, you have to see whether you are capable of doing so first.”

When the young girl by the name of Qing Ling heard what Mu Chen had just said, she was upset. “Ha, your pride seems to be stronger than your strength.”

As she was an Upper Earthly Sovereign, she felt that any ordinary Upper Earthly Sovereign was no match for her. Thus, when Mu Chen, who was only an Upper Earthly Sovereign, behaved so arrogantly before her, she was unhappy.

However, Mu Chen ignored her and looked at the other lady, Qing Shuang, who seemed to be the one calling the shots. He then said, “If you have only come here to say such things, you may leave now.”

Qing Shuang looked at Mu Chen and said, “Aunt Xuan has sent me here. She wants you to leave the Holy Gulf Continent.”

Mu Chen frowned and said, “No way.”

Qing Shuang frowned and said, “According to the rules, the Heavenly Sovereigns are not allowed to deal with you. However, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin are determined to capture you. They are formidable among the younger generation in the Budur Ancient Clan, and they are likely to step into the Heavenly Sovereign level soon. As you are just an Upper Earthly Sovereign, you are no match for them. As such, you will be captured by them if you stay here!”

Xuan Luo, Mo Xin… A light flashed across Mu Chen’s eyes. He had heard of Xuan Luo and Mo Xin from Long Xiang. These two were potential Little Lords of the Budur Ancient Clan! Lion King Gu was Xuan Luo’s subordinate.

Mu Chen nodded at Qing Shuang and said, “Thank you for your kindness, but I will not leave. If they are after me, my door is open to them.” Although the two Little Lords had great foundations, they would be silly to think that they could mess with Mu Chen.

“You don’t know what you are getting yourself into!” When Qing Ling heard this, she frowned and said angrily, “The two of them are powerful, and even Sister Qing Shuang is afraid of them. You will be courting your own death if you fight them! We are being kind to tell you about this. Can’t you just listen to us?”

Mu Chen lifted up his head to look at her. He then smiled and said, “All these years, if I had been afraid of putting my life on the line, I would not be here standing before you today.”

All these years, he had depended upon himself only, diligently making his way up the ladder and improving his cultivation. Every time he came across strong opponents, he had managed to survive. If he had chosen to go into hiding, he would not have been able to have any breakthroughs via numerous life-and-death situations.

Moreover, he did not have the resources that the Little Lords had access to. They could simply stretch out their hand and the elixirs, Sacred Objects, and Super Powers would be given to them readily. The things that Mu Chen possessed had been earned by him via the life-and-death fights that he had gone through over the years.

Qing Ling was shocked by what Mu Chen’s words. She could feel his determination and ruthlessness as he spoke. Although they were about the same age, what Mu Chen had gone through was beyond her imagination…

Qing Shuang was also shocked as she looked at Mu Chen. He must have experienced things that even she might be fearful of.

Although he had a powerful mother, he did not receive any help or protection from her. Instead, he had always been in danger. As he had said, he had come this far because of his own hard work. In fact, if those Little Lords did not have the backing of the Budur Ancient Clan, they might be inferior to Mu Chen…

Qing Shuang sighed within her heart, then said softly, “We are here to pass the message to you. It is up to you to decide for yourself what you will do.”

She then paused for a while before continuing, “If you insist on staying in the Holy Gulf Continent, be careful. If you see Xuan Luo and Mo Xin, you can look for me. I will help you.”

Mu Chen looked at the beautiful lady and saw some fluctuations in her eyes. Although Qing Shuang looked cold, she was not really so icy within.

Mu Chen nodded and said, “If there is nothing else you have to say, please leave.”

Although he could feel that they meant well, he was wary of the Budur Ancient Clan. Hence, he had no intention of accepting their help.

When Mu Chen made the remark and sent them away, Qing Shuang did not say another word. She looked at him, then turned around to leave. Qing Ling, on the other hand, stomped her foot and glared at Mu Chen before hurrying to catch up with Qing Shuang.

After the pair had left the courtyard, Qing Ling said angrily, “Mu Chen is so arrogant! He does not appreciate our help at all! He doesn’t know how powerful Xuan Luo and Mo Xin are. Even the Complete Earthly Sovereigns cannot defeat them. Mu Chen is only an Upper Earthly Sovereign, so if he fights them, he will be at a disadvantage!”

Qing Ling was prideful and of a high status, so she rarely came across such bold and irreverent people like Mu Chen! Moreover, they had come to him with good intentions, but Mu Chen had been unappreciative. She was truly aggrieved by his attitude.

Qing Shuang simply shook her head and said, “Aunt Jing has been imprisoned for so many years, so it is natural for him to feel resentful toward our Budur Ancient Clan. After all, he has been separated from his mother all this time. Given his prideful character, he naturally would not accept our help.”

Qing Ling pouted her lips and said, “I know, but he has to see if he is up to it!”

Qing Shuang squinted her eyes and tilted her head to look at the courtyard. She then asked, “Is he not up to it?”

“He is just an Upper Earthly Sovereign, so of course he is not up to it!” Qing Ling curled up her lips nonchalantly.

Qing Shuang frowned and said, “I don’t know why, but I could feel an intimidating aura exuding from him. It is the same aura that Xuan Luo and Mo Xin exuded…”

When Qing Ling heard this, she gave an exaggerated look and said, “Sister Qing Shuang, how can that be? You have overestimated this guy. How can he be compared with the two crazy fellows?”

Qing Shuang pursed her lips and nodded. She had to agree that it might be a misconception.

As compared to Xuan Luo and Mo Xin, there is still a disparity between Mu Chen and them…
