Chapter 373: May I Look for Someone?
Who is this young man?
How dare he speak such arrogant words!
He actually came to give Elder Chen the grandest gift, a priceless one.
Does he think he’s a country president!
The moment these words were spoken, the whole crowd was shocked.
Even Anthony and the others, upon hearing the translation, couldn’t help but click their tongues.
Would even Miss Jeanie dare say such things?
Only someone who stands above the Outer Hidden Sect can treat himself as a priceless gift!
Only someone who doesn’t consider Elder Chen Longfan at all would dare speak so wildly!
"This brat is too arrogant; I wish I could slap him to death!"
Seeing Mu Xingchen, Chen Fengyang was filled with uncontainable rage.
"You know this person?"
Chen Xiaokuang instantly detected Chen Fengyang’s unusual behavior.
"Father, this seems to be the young master of Mu Royal Mansion. I had a bit of a conflict with him, and I suffered losses. Got slapped twice."
Chen Fengyang explained everything honestly.
Chen Xiaokuang’s gaze was sharp, leaving Chen Fengyang unable to conceal anything.
"Hmm. I see."
Chen Xiaokuang’s face was calm and emotionless.
Hundreds of eyes in the crowd fell on Mu Xingchen, making him the center of attention.
Mu Xingchen felt a rush of pleasure...
Being part of the Hidden Sect, he always stood high above, dismissing the Mortal World.
But descending into the Mortal World and receiving such admiration felt more satisfying.
"Who is Chen Longfan?"
Mu Xingchen snorted coldly.
"It’s me. Who are you, kid? Are you here to celebrate my birthday?"
Chen Longfan chuckled and said to the person next to him: "Whose child is this, so arrogant?"
"I forgot to introduce myself. I am Mu Xingchen from the Hidden Sect’s Celestial Zen Temple, disciple of Monk Longhu!"
Mu Xingchen said with a faint smile.
These words were like a bomb dropped into the crowd, leaving everyone dazed, as if struck by lightning.
Hidden... Hidden Sect?
Everyone doubted their ears, questioning how the Hidden Sect could emerge suddenly.
The term "Hidden Sect" was so mysterious and ancient, even for the strong of the Outer Hidden Sect, it was too impactful.
Immediately, the Chen Family and the various forces of the Outer Hidden Sect changed colors, especially several members of the Chen Family who looked exceptionally grim.
"Hidden Sect’s Celestial Zen Temple?"
Chen Longfan’s face tightened, looking at Mu Xingchen with caution.
Anyone who could name it instantly usually wasn’t lying.
After all, even the Outer Hidden Sect knew little about the Hidden Sect, let alone those who could name the Celestial Zen Temple and Monk Longhu.
Chen Longfan, the Southern Celestial King, and Chen Fengyang all inhaled sharply.
"No wonder, I heard Mu Xingchen from Mu Royal Mansion disappeared long ago; turns out he was in the Hidden Sect!"
"Ah, I heard people from Mu Royal Mansion mention their family went to the Hidden Sect; I didn’t believe it then."
"When it comes to Celestial Zen Temple’s Monk Longhu, even the Southern Celestial King has to show some respect."
...
Chen Fengyang finally understood why Mu Xingchen dared to confront him; this was someone truly from the Hidden Sect.
But if it’s just a disciple of the Hidden Sect, he wasn’t afraid.
After all, he had cultivated in the Hidden Sect for a while, and the Celestial Martial Academy was far superior to the Celestial Zen Temple.
The Southern Celestial King’s gaze hardened: "So he’s a senior disciple of Monk Longhu! If you’re here to celebrate, the Chen Family welcomes you. If you have other intentions, the Chen Family isn’t weak!"
The Southern Celestial King’s gaze was cold; previously, he had this confidence, now with a super powerful son-in-law, he was even more confident.
Mu Xingchen swept his gaze over everyone and said: "Humph, how could this old guy earn the privilege for me to celebrate his birthday? I’m here to tell everyone that from now on, the Outer Hidden Sect is under Mu Royal Mansion’s rule. The position of Southern Celestial King is mine!"
Mu Xingchen’s words caused an uproar among the crowd.
Everyone looked shocked beyond belief.
No wonder Mu Royal Mansion and the Yue Family came so late; they were targeting the Chen Family.
Everyone from Mu Royal Mansion and the Yue Family wore smiles.
From now on, Mu Royal Mansion would be number one in the Outer Hidden Sect, while the Mortal World would belong to the Yue Family.
They were all envisioning a grand blueprint.
"Ha ha ha, Mu Xingchen, isn’t your thinking too simple? You, a Hidden Sect disciple, want us to submit; you really don’t understand the Chen Family."
Chen Fengyang couldn’t help but sneer.
The Southern Celestial King nodded: "If your master came, that would be different!"
After all, the Southern Celestial King could rank in the Hidden Sect, though only mid to lower.
"Then what if I join?"
Suddenly, a chilly voice came from the crowd.
A man carrying a heavy sword stepped forward, his aura contained, as if he had no life essence at all.
"This... this is a disciple of Divine Sword Realm..."
Chen Fengyang was the first to change color; he had interacted with Divine Sword Realm experts at Celestial Martial Academy; he was too familiar with this kind of aura.
Upon hearing "Divine Sword Realm", the faces of a few, led by the Southern Celestial King, transformed drastically.
"No, he seems to be the successor of the Ghostly Wail Sword! The Ghostly Wail Sword is one of the top ten Sword Venerables of the Divine Sword Realm!"
The usually composed Southern Celestial King was unsettled, exclaiming in shock.
Monk Longhu and the Ghostly Wail Sword weren’t on the same level at all.
The Ghostly Wail Sword alone could withstand a sect of the Hidden Sect.
Liu Xiefeng’s gaze landed directly on the Southern Celestial King, calmly saying: "Hmm, you’re not bad. I’ll deal with you later!"
Mu Xingchen smiled, looking at Chen Fengyang: "Let’s settle last night’s battle today!"
Actually, on the Chen Family’s side, they were already jittery.
With the appearance of a Divine Sword Realm disciple, none dared to engage.
To deal with him would provoke the Ghostly Wail Sword.
The Ghostly Wail Sword could easily obliterate a sect!
Should his disciples be harmed, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Ghostly Wail Sword came after the Chen Family.
Even the Southern Celestial King was somewhat worried, though his greatest trump card was Xiao Jianting; he was uncertain if Xiao Jianting could counterbalance such a major force like the Hidden Sect’s Divine Sword Realm.
Mu Xingchen glanced at them, sneering: "The best way is for you to step aside; that way, avoid a major battle, and we can be friends."
"Being friends with the Chen Family, you’re not qualified!"
At this moment, a cold voice echoed.
A young man walked in, hands behind his back, slowly arriving at the scene.
Xiao Jianting appeared.
Seeing Xiao Jianting, Mu Xingchen and Liu Xiefeng both narrowed their eyes.
Because they couldn’t discern Xiao Jianting’s cultivation at all, Xiao Jianting was like an old monster, concealing all his aura.
Xiao Jianting sneered, looking at Mu Xingchen: "Hmph, don’t disgrace yourself with such underhanded tactics."
At this moment, Mu Xingchen seemed to be seen through, all secrets exposed to Xiao Jianting.
Upon hearing Xiao Jianting’s inexplicable words, Mu Xingchen seemed to realize that Xiao Jianting knew about the Peach Blossom Secret Scripture.
Is this kid that terrifying?
Even Monk Longhu was deceived, yet Xiao Jianting saw through him?
"Dare to target the Chen Family, perish."
Xiao Jianting declared coldly, as if he’d already passed sentence.
"So lively here, may I look for someone?"
Following this, another voice sounded in the crowd.
Ye Qingtian arrived with three women.
