The blood-robed young man was none other than the King of Geniuses from the Mu Clan, Mu He, who had the title of Xue Mu.
He had deliberately sent Lu Yu to Nine Firmaments Palace to inform them of the situation. His objective was to wait for Xiao Chen's arrival. Now that he had appeared in the Greenwave Empire's Imperial Capital, in all of Nine Firmaments Palace, only Xiao Chen would dare to challenge him. Additionally, Mu He believed that the Ruler of the Nine Firmaments Palace could only dispatch Xiao Chen.
This was a matter for the younger generation. If Nine Firmaments Palace were to dispatch an expert from the older generation, it would be the equivalent of admitting that the younger generation of Nine Firmaments Palace was inferior to the Mu Clan. With the exception of Xiao Chen, there was no one else the Ruler of the Nine Firmaments Palace could use.
Mu He's calm voice was filled with anticipation. It was as though he had been looking forward to meeting Xiao Chen for a long time now.
In contrast to Mu He's calm demeanor, when he heard the name Xiao Chen, Mu Feng's face sank. Everything that had happened in the City of the Medicine King was still fresh in his mind. Despite being besieged by over ten geniuses, Xiao Chen had still been able to effortlessly defeat all of them. It was like a nightmare that kept replaying in Mu Feng's mind. Every time he thought of Xiao Chen, Mu Feng's heart would be filled with hatred. Naturally, at the same time of hatred, there was also fear.
Sensing the change in Mu Feng's expression, Mu He turned around. A mocking smile appeared on his face as he said, "You are an idiot. To think that you can rely on numbers to suppress a King of Geniuses. You only have yourself to blame for what happened in the City of the Medicine King. Remember, when facing a King of Geniuses, you will never be qualified to speak to him as an equal. In the future, when you meet other Kings of Geniuses, I advise you to stay far away from them.
Don't disgrace the King of Geniuses. "Mu He did not appear to have any intention of avenging Mu Feng. Perhaps, in his opinion, Mu Feng was simply courting death. Who asked him to disrespect a King of Geniuses?
After saying that, Mu He did not wait for Mu Feng's reply. Instead, he slowly walked out of the garden.
Mu He waited for Xiao Chen. At the same time, Xiao Chen hurried towards the Jadewave Empire.
Even though more than a year had passed since the ten Young Geniuses had appeared, there hadn't been any real battles between the Young Geniuses. Xiao Chen and Mu He's battle was about to start. As for the Ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, he was the one who had personally pushed Xiao Chen onto the stage.
Under the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird's rapid journey, Xiao Chen and Luo Feng arrived outside the imperial capital of the Emerald Waves Empire in a short period of one and a half days.
Lu Yu asked Xiao Chen cautiously as he gazed at the magnificent city. "Senior Brother Xiao Chen, what do you think of us …"
Xiao Chen knew what Lu Yu was about to say, but before he could finish, he said, "Let's go straight to the palace. There's no need to hide."
He had no intention of hiding at all. This time, he came to the Emerald Waves Empire just to meet Mu He. Since they would have to fight sooner or later, why bother wasting time?
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Lu Yu did not say anything else. Along the way, Lu Yu had a preliminary understanding of Xiao Chen's character.
Even though he seemed amiable and approachable on the surface, the arrogance in his heart was no less than Mu He's. Perhaps this was the pride of being one of the ten Young Geniuses.
Riding the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird, they flew straight into the imperial capital and headed straight for the palace.
Unlike Xiao Chen's hometown, Lingfeng Country, the Emerald Waves Empire was much stronger. At the same time, the imperial capital was much larger. It was at least five times larger than Lingfeng Country's imperial capital.
Along the way, the citizens of the Emerald Waves Empire were stunned when they saw the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird flying across the sky. Flying was forbidden in the imperial capital. And yet, someone was brazenly riding a flying yao beast into the imperial capital. Was this not a provocation to the empire's prestige?
The ordinary citizens believed that Xiao Chen and Lu Yu were in for a bad time. However, the disciples of the great families and some powerful cultivators were able to see further into the future.
Mu He's appearance in the imperial capital was no longer a secret. Additionally, it was also no secret that he had captured the disciples of Nine Firmaments Palace. At present, Xu Ling and the other 10 disciples were tied to wooden frames within the imperial palace's main square.
News of that had spread throughout the imperial capital. Additionally, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird was the mount of Nine Firmaments Palace. Thus, many cultivators were able to guess that the newcomers must be from Nine Firmaments Palace. Additionally, it was clear that they were here for Mu He and the other 10 disciples from Holy Maiden Peak.
"I wonder who these people from Nine Firmaments Palace are? They should be experts from the older generation. At any rate, who among the younger generation can stand up to Mu He?" someone said.
"Did you forget someone? Nine Firmaments Palace also has a King of Prides. "Hearing that, someone beside him spoke up.
"You mean Yao Sword Xiao Chen?"
"That's right. The way I see it, this newcomer is most likely Yao Sword Xiao Chen. At any rate, Nine Firmaments Palace cannot afford to lose face. They will not send experts from the older generation to deal with matters of the younger generation."
"If that is the case, doesn't that mean a war between the King of Prides is about to erupt?"
"Very likely. Come, let's hurry to the imperial palace. We might be able to personally witness the first great battle between the King of Prides."
Some of the more intelligent ones had guessed that the newcomer was most likely Xiao Chen. In an instant, many cultivators and members of the great families within the imperial capital rushed towards the imperial palace. As they were about to make their move, Mu He, who was in the imperial palace, suddenly opened his eyes. Two rays of red light shot out from his eyes as he looked towards the horizon. Mu He smiled and said, "He's finally here …"
Clearly, Mu He had already sensed Xiao Chen's aura. Bringing Mu Feng with him, the two of them quickly arrived at the main square of the imperial palace of the Greenwave Empire.
There were 10 wooden crosses there. A disciple of Holy Maiden Peak was hanging on each of the crosses. Surprisingly, the peerless genius of Holy Maiden Peak, Xu Ling, was among them.
At the same time that Mu He and Mu Feng appeared, the Emperor of Greenwave Empire, Lu Zhenhai, also appeared with a group of civil and military officials. Seeing Mu He's arrival, Xu Ling snorted and said, "Mu He, if you have what it takes, then kill me. You want my men from Nine Firmaments Palace to apologize to you? Dream on!"
Hearing Xu Ling's furious scolding, Mu He smiled and said, "How can a defeated general speak of bravery? Whether or not I kill you makes no difference to me. Consider yourself lucky today to be able to witness a battle between two King of Prides. However, I wonder, can your King of Prides from Nine Firmaments Palace rescue you fellows?" "That's right.
He did not take Xu Ling's words to heart at all. In Mu He's opinion, someone like Xu Ling was not worth mentioning. Hearing Mu He's words, Xu Ling's face sank. A battle between the King of Prides? Nine Firmaments Palace has sent out a King of Prides? Heavenly Sword Peak's Yao Sword Xiao Chen?
She thought to herself in shock. It was at that moment that a massive Golden-winged Great Roc, exuding an awe-inspiring aura, arrived above the imperial palace. It slowly descended and Lu Yu and Xiao Chen jumped down from the back of the Great Roc.
