The Great Ruler

The mist that was formed by the tea that Mu Chen had just spurted out landed coldly on Bai Susu’s fair skin, causing her to shiver. She felt ashamed of herself, but she grit her teeth and swallowed her pride.

She knew that the future of the beings in their world depended on the youth who was before her. As long as he could teach them to harness the same power, they would no longer have to live in despair.

So, she knelt down before Mu Chen with a submissive attitude. She was like a lamb that was waiting to be slaughtered. As the light shone on her lustrous skin, she looked captivating.

Mu Chen wiped away the tea from his mouth and looked away from the charming girl who was before him. He then cleared his throat and said, “Please put on your clothes.”

When Bai Susu heard what Mu Chen had said, she grit her teeth and said with a trembling voice, “Please, grant me my request.”

As Mu Chen waved his sleeve, the clothes that were on the floor flew up and covered Bai Susu. He then lowered his head to look at her and said, “I am unable to pass my power to you.”

When Bai Susu heard that Mu Chen had rejected her flatly, she turned pale. However, she dared not infuriate him, so she simply stood up with a blank look on her face. Although she had been covered by her clothes, part of her body was still exposed, showing her voluptuous figure.

“Although I cannot pass my strength to you, you need not worry. I will wipe out the Fiend Blood Tribe before I leave this place,” Mu Chen said in a serious tone as he looked at Bai Susu, who was in tears.

When Bai Susu heard his oath, she felt better. However, she continued to look at Mu Chen with a forlorn look as she asked, “Lord, do you despise me? If it were not for the sake of my people, I would rather die than degrade myself.”

Mu Chen shook his head, then said with a straight face, “I do not look down on you. On the contrary, I admire you.”

She was just a girl, but she was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of her people. She had even put down her dignity and knelt down before Mu Chen. In Mu Chen’s eyes, this alone was enough to win his respect.

When Bai Susu saw Mu Chen’s sincere look, she was shocked. But, after a while, she felt bitter and her eyes turned red. Previously, she had to put on a false front to look strong, but at this moment, she could let down her guard and just be herself.

“Thank you,” she said softly. She was grateful to Mu Chen for his understanding.

Mu Chen nodded with a smile and said, “You have to trust me. It is not that I am unwilling to pass my power to you, but I am unable to do so.”

Although Bai Susu was a little disappointed, she simply nodded. She then smiled at Mu Chen and said in a teasing manner, “In that case, my Lord has missed out on a great opportunity. But, if you are still interested, I will still allow you to woo me. I have quite a lot of suitors, but you have an edge over them.”

When Mu Chen heard her talking so boldly, he could not help but laugh. Is she trying to flirt with me?

“Cough. Let’s get down to business.” Mu Chen coughed and changed the subject, as he could not handle her flirting manner.

When Bai Susu saw that Mu Chen was embarrassed, she covered her mouth and laughed. She found Mu Chen to be very interesting. He was so powerful, yet he was able to restrain himself and not be affected by the things of the world.

Bai Susu knew that she was attractive, and she had absolute confidence in her beauty. The looks on her suitors faces had proven that she was correct in her self-appraisal.

When she offered herself to Mu Chen, he could have accepted her and made her his woman. Based on a woman’s instinct, Bai Susu sensed that Mu Chen had looked at her with the desires of a man, but he did not allow himself to go through with possessing her.

Once a person’s power reached a certain level, he could obtain anything that he wanted, despite what any rules may say. The fact that Mu Chen was able to restrain himself was a rare thing to find in such a person. Thus, Bai Susu found Mu Chen captivating.

“Lord, there are six Blood Demon Lords in the Fiend Blood Tribe. Since one of them has already been killed, there are now only five left,” Bai Susu said softly after she had composed herself and served Mu Chen another cup of tea.

She then added, “Among these five Blood Demon Lords, three of them rule over Mount Blood Demon. The other two guard the western and northern regions.”

When Mu Chen heard this, a light flashed across his eyes. If the five Blood Demon Lords were not located in the same place, this posed a good opportunity for him!

He looked at Bai Susu and said, “If I take them on one at a time, none of the Blood Demon Lords will be a match for me. However, if they join forces to take me on, the situation will be very different. So, in order to make sure that the situation is in our favor, we have to reduce the number of the Blood Demon Lords to three.”

Bai Susu’s face turned grim as she said, “In that case, the two Blood Demon Lords who patrol around the world will be the best targets to focus on.”

She then added, “Lord, I will pass down an order to not let the news of the defeat of the Blood Demon Lord leak out. However, from what I see, we can only keep it from the other Blood Demon Lords for another half a month. By then, they will have noticed that this Blood Demon Lord has disappeared.”

“Half a month…” Mu Chen murmured as he furrowed his brows. They did not even know the current whereabouts of the two Blood Demon Lords, and if Mu Chen had to seek them out, he might need more than half a month to do so.

“Lord, you can leave finding the whereabouts of the two Blood Demon Lords to me. No matter what it takes, I will definitely track them down!” Bai Susu suddenly said with a smile.

Oh? Mu Chen was shocked as he looked at Bai Susu. He had not expected them to be able to discover the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Lords.

When Bai Susu saw Mu Chen’s baffled look, she smiled bitterly and said, “There are a number of our people living among the Fiend Blood Tribe. They have suffered in humiliation there, but they have been able to help us obtain some information.”

Mu Chen became silent. He now understood the great price that they had to pay for obtaining such information. He was determined for their efforts to not have been in vain.

“Lord, give no more thought to it. As long as we can drive away the Fiend Blood Tribe and let our beings in this world live with dignity, we will do so without fear, even to the point of sacrificing our lives!” Bai Susu said after noticing Mu Chen’s hesitation.

Mu Chen sighed, but did not say another word. For the sake of the world, someone would have to sacrifice himself. It would be naïve to think that everything would go smoothly and according to his wishes.

“I shall leave this part to you, then. As for the Blood Demon Lords, you can leave them to me,” Mu Chen said.

Bai Susu smiled and bent down, revealing her fair skin. She smelled great as she smiled at Mu Chen and said, “Lord, you seem so powerful.”

Mu Chen shook his head as she teased him. He then said, “I need you to help me out.”

“Lord, anything! Please tell me what you need.” Bai Susu sat on the chair lazily and played with her hair.

She then smiled and said, “If you are willing, I will be yours. Whatever you want to know, I will definitely tell you.”

Mu Chen ignored her and waved his sleeve. At that moment, spiritual light flew out from his glabella and formed a Spiritual Energy Screen in front of him. Several scenes appeared on the screen.

Blood was flowing in the world that was shown on the screen, and it covered the entire area. On the peak of a mountain, several shadows shot up into the sky, where there was a space whirlpool. The shadows dashed into the space whirlpool and disappeared, as they were being pursued by streams of blood.

Mu Chen had obtained these scenes from the Sovereign White Dragon. According to what Mu Chen had heard, the shadows belonged to the Sovereign White Dragon and his company.

As Mu Chen was not familiar with the world in the Lower Planes, he hoped that Bai Susu would be able to identify the place where the Sovereign White Dragon had departed from. He believed that he would then be able to summon the thoughts that the Sovereign White Dragon had left behind in order to learn more about the great opportunity that had been mentioned to him.

“I would like to know where this place is.” Mu Chen said as he turned to look at Bai Susu, while pointing at the Spiritual Energy Screen.

However, when he turned his head around, he was shocked to see that Bai Susu, who was smiling just a moment ago, was in tears as she looked blankly at the screen.

“What happened?” Mu Chen frowned.

“Lord, where did you get these images?” Bai Susu asked through her tears.

Mu Chen shrugged and said, “I am here because an elder who is shown in the scene asked me to bring them here. Why do you ask? Do you know them?”

Bai Susu wiped away her tears and muttered, “I thought that they deserted us…”

Having said that, she lifted up her head and nodded at Mu Chen. “Lord, they are our founders. The mountain that you are pointing at was known as Mount Holy Dragon back then. Now, it is known as Mount Blood Demon. This is the headquarters of the Fiend Blood Tribe!”
