The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

“Mount Blood Demon…” Mu Chen muttered to himself. He looked elated, as he had finally found a lead. Otherwise, he would have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. However, he was surprised to learn that the Sovereign White Dragon was the founder of Bai Susu’s sect.

When Bai Susu saw Mu Chen’s shocked look, she sighed. As she recalled the past, she said, “The name of our sect is the Holy Dragon Sect. It used to be the most powerful sect in this world. However, to call it powerful now seems like self-deception.”

When she said this, she started to look bitter and said, “After the Fiend Blood Tribe entered our world, we realized how fragile we are. Although the elders of our sect have fought hard with the Fiend Blood Tribe, there is no way to stop them at all.”

Mu Chen nodded. After all, this was the Lower Planes. In terms of their standard of living, the Extraterritorial Race was on par, or even higher than the Great Thousand World. When the Extraterritorial Race entered the Lower Planes, it was as though the tigers had barged into the world of the lambs. The power of this world was unable to contend with that of the Extraterritorial Race. After all, not everybody could possess the same ability as the Martial Ancestor… Otherwise, he would not be considered a legendary figure.

“After we were defeated, several elders decided to leave the sect. They knew that there was another world out there, and they wanted to go there to look for some top powers to save our world. They joined hands to force open a crack and left our world. Since then, the rest of us have been waiting for them to come back and save us,” Bai Susu said in a low voice.

Mu Chen was silent when he heard it. If he had guessed correctly, the elders that Bai Susu had mentioned were the founders of the Demonic Dragon Palace. She was not aware that these elders whom they had pinned their hopes on had conflicts among themselves, as they held different beliefs. The Sovereign White Dragon had been chased out of the Demonic Dragon Palace, which Mu Chen had later destroyed.

However, Mu Chen did not intend to tell Bai Susu about this. It would be a great blow to her if she knew that other than the Sovereign White Dragon, the rest of the elders had forgotten about the calamity that had taken place in the Lower Planes. They had forgotten about them.

“We have been waiting for them, but there has been no news at all. When the sect was about to be destroyed, I became the sheet anchor of the sect, although I was still very young back then. All the elders used an ancient method to sacrifice their lives and left their strength behind in order to pass it on to me.” Bai Susu smiled wryly and added, “This is the reason why I possess such great strength. However, it is pitiful that I am still no match for a Blood Demon Lord.”

“You have done a good job, having come this far,” Mu Chen said.

“Lord, have you seen the founders of our Holy Dragon Sect?” Bai Susu looked at Mu Chen in anticipation.

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Chen nodded.

Bai Susu heaved a sigh of relief and said happily, “I know they will never forsake us. They have been looking for a way to save us.”

Mu Chen smiled and spiritual light gathered on his fingertips. It turned into a shadow, revealing the image of the Sovereign White Dragon. “I am here because this elder has asked me to come.”

Bai Susu looked at the image of the Sovereign White Dragon, and emotion flashed in her eyes. She said in a low voice, “This is Founder White Dragon. He is the one who started my lineage.”

She then turned to Mu Chen and bowed down respectfully and said, “Lord, Susu thanks you on behalf of the people in this world.”

Mu Chen waved his sleeve and gently lifted Bai Susu up. He shook his head and did not claim credit for it. He said, “I am here with my own agenda. The Sovereign White Dragon has promised to give me something in return that is too attractive for me to turn down.”

Bai Susu smiled charmingly when she heard it. When she looked at Mu Chen, her eyes were dazzling.

“Now, I know that my destination is Mount Holy Dragon, which is the current Mount Blood Demon.” Mu Chen did not notice her look, but he squinted with a sharp look.

There were three Blood Demon Lords in Mount Blood Demon, and their strength was near Heavenly Sovereign-level. If he wanted to go to the mountain, he had to first kill the three Blood Demon Lords. There would definitely be a fierce fight. This time around, it would no longer be similar to the fight that Mu Chen had had with Reverend Thunder and the rest. It would be a life-and-death fight.

“We will have to kill the two Blood Demon Lords who are patrolling around the world as quickly as we can. If they get wind of this and the five of them join forces, even I will be in trouble.” Although Mu Chen could still retreat unscathed if he had to deal with the five Blood Demon Lords, this world would be exterminated if the Blood Demon Lords were enraged. He would fail in his mission as well. Thus, he had to succeed.

…

The rest of the time, Mu Chen stayed in the city-state and cultivated daily. He conditioned himself to a state whereby he could display the most powerful combat force any time he wished.

Bai Susu did not disturb him. She was either making sure that the news of his fight with the Blood Demon Lord remained a secret, or she would gather news about the two Blood Demon Lords’ whereabouts. A lot of manpower was involved, and she was kept busy dealing with it. Fortunately, she completed the tasks that she had agreed to take on.

Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes in the cultivation room. He moved his body and was immediately out of the room. He saw Bai Susu standing outside.

“I have received some information,” Bai Susu said, the moment she saw Mu Chen.

Mu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He had been waiting anxiously, as time was not on their side. However, he did not rush Bai Susu, as he did not want the people to get anxious over it.

“A Blood Demon Lord is now in the western region of Tianyuan City. He will be there for half a day,” Bai Susu said with a smile.

Mu Chen looked at her smiling face and hesitated before asking, “Have you suffered a great loss?”

Bai Susu was shocked. She then bit her lips and said with a smile, “Some of them were discovered, and they lost their lives.”

Mu Chen became silent. Although Bai Susu had made it sound as though it was nothing, he knew that a high price had been paid for this simple piece of information.

“I will make a move now.”

“Lord, can you bring me along?” Bai Susu looked at Mu Chen and begged him, saying, “If we succeed, I may be able to get news of the location of the other Blood Demon Lord.”

“If we fail…” Bai Susu smiled and continued, “at most we will lose our lives, correct?”

Mu Chen thought for a while and then nodded. Every minute was precious to him. If Bai Susu went with him, he would not have to make a trip back again to obtain the next piece of information.

Seeing that Mu Chen had agreed, Bai Susu gave a lovely smile. She then took a step toward Mu Chen, showing her voluptuous figure more prominently.

“I will have to trouble Lord to give me a lift, then!”

When Mu Chen saw her action, he hesitated for a moment. He then stretched out his arm and wrapped it around Bai Susu’s slender waist. Spiritual light surged around them and engulfed them. They then turned into a streamer and shot up into the sky.

…

On a mountain outside Tianyuan City.

A streamer appeared, and Mu Chen stepped forth. He then let go of Bai Susu, who moved back with a blush on her face.

Mu Chen stared at the city in the distance and said, “There is a strong fluctuation in the city. It should be the Blood Demon Lord.”

Bai Susu fixed her gaze on the city and clenched her fists. Many people had died in the city, and it was filled with the smell of blood.

“Stay here while I lure the Blood Demon Lord into the mountain. You shall wait here for me,” Mu Chen instructed Bai Susu.

Bai Susu nodded obediently. She was not a naïve woman. She knew that she must not be a hindrance to Mu Chen at this moment.

When Mu Chen saw her response, he immediately moved his body and appeared in the sky in the distance. The spiritual energy in his body churned, and suddenly, a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation shot up into the sky.

In the city’s main hall, a middle-aged man in a red robe was hugging two petite figures who were shivering with fear. Just as his long teeth were extending out of his mouth, he suddenly squinted when the spiritual energy fluctuation appeared. He waved his sleeve and let go of the two petite figures. After moving his body, he appeared in the sky above the city.

When he looked out, he indistinctly saw a streamer darting toward the mountain. “How dare these people peep at me!” The middle-aged man gave a petrifying smile. Bloody rays appeared under his feet, and he shot across the horizon toward the direction of the streamer.

The two streamers darted into the mountain, with one at the front and the other one following behind.

When Bai Susu saw the scene from a mountain in the distance, she lifted up her chest and took a deep breath. She then sat down cross-legged on the mountain peak. She had no intention to tag along to have a look. Although she was anxious and dying to know the outcome, she knew there was nothing she could do to influence it. In this case, it was not necessary to know the outcome beforehand.

If Mu Chen was defeated, all their hope would be gone. When that happened, she would blow herself up in case she fell into the Fiend Blood Tribe’s hands. Dying would be better than the living hell she would endure otherwise.

When Bai Susu thought of it, she heaved a sigh of relief. She then smiled and stretched out her hands lazily, showing her curves. She laid on the ground and looked up at the sky with her big, bright eyes. The sky was still clear as it had been before. This area used to be free from the disgusting smell of blood… How she missed those days.

She smiled and shut her eyes. After a short while, she suddenly opened her eyes. She saw a slender youth standing before her with a smile. He was holding a red photosphere in his hand with blood streaming within it.

When she saw Mu Chen, she gave a charming smile. Her eyes turned soft as she felt her heart melting. “Lord, if you continue to be so cool, I may just fall for you.”
