The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

The hoarse voice of the queen resounded in the main hall, causing all of the higher ups to look shocked. They started to become wary and turned to look at the spot where the queen was looking.

They were only just realizing that someone had been watching them for quite a while, yet none of them had realized it! The people stared anxiously at the void for a long while.

Suddenly, ripples started to form and they saw a slender figure appear in the sky. The figure took his time before landing on the ground.

“You are very sharp,” Mu Chen said as he appeared before them and looked at the queen in amazement.

Even those Complete Earthly Sovereigns who were at their peaks in The Great Thousand World were unable to discover his invisibility skill. It never occurred to Mu Chen that he would be discovered by someone from the Lower Planes.

“I have sharp senses, which is why I can indistinctly sense your presence.” The queen smiled at Mu Chen, not imposing her authority as the queen upon him.

She offered him this courtesy as she did not sense any oppression exuding from Mu Chen. However, Mu Chen looked mysterious to her, and she did feel that he was very powerful.

“Deity!” Suddenly, the girl who was kneeling in the main hall shouted excitedly.

There was an uproar in the main hall as the higher ups looked at Mu Chen in astonishment. Apparently, they did not expect the deity that the girl had mentioned to be a youth.

“Ha. So you are the one who is creating trouble for us!” An elder stared coldly at Mu Chen and shouted, “How dare you kill the top powers of the Fiend Blood Tribe in the Battle City? If they vent their anger on us, we will all be killed!”

Mu Chen tilted his head to look at the elder, then said with a smile, “It seems like no matter where I go, I will definitely find some spineless traitors!”

“What did you say?” the elder roared.

The moment the elder finished his statement, Mu Chen appeared before, taking him by surprise. Killing intent surged in the elder’s eyes, while a majestic power burst out from his body like a volcano. He was clearly ready to throw out a punch!

Crack.

Just as the power was about to spurt out of his body, a slender hand, which was like the claw of an eagle, pierced through the space, passed through the defense, and grabbed his throat. Although the elder struggled to break free, he was unable to free himself from Mu Chen’s grip.

“Who are you to talk to me in such a way?” Mu Chen asked. Mu Chen despised him and felt that he was disgusting.

The elder started to look fearful as he realized that the mysterious youth was extremely powerful. He then shouted, “Let go of me! If you do not do so, the Fiend Blood Tribe will not make you pay!”

“Don’t worry. You are still not qualified for me to get my hands dirty in dealing with you!” As Mu Chen said the words, he threw him off casually, sending the elder shooting backwards.

As the elder hit a stone pillar, his body became embedded in it. As he was constrained by a powerful force, he could not break away from the stone pillar. Thus, he became an ornament on the stone pillar.

The higher ups in the main hall widened their eyes in disbelief when they saw this. The Grand Advisor’s strength was second only to the queen, but he was like an ant with no power to defend himself in the face of this mysterious youth.

The rest of the advisors turned pale and kept retreating. They dared not look at Mu Chen, as they were afraid to fall prey to him.

There was silence in the main hall as Mu Chen looked around. Those who caught his eye kept quiet out of fear, as they felt oppressed by him.

Mu Chen then rested his gaze on the queen, who looked him straight in the eye. He then said, “Previously I thought that there was truly a place of refuge in this world. Never would I have thought that it is just another pit.”

He realized that, although this city-state appeared to be a place of refuge, every year, they had to send several hundred thousand people to the Fiend Blood Tribe for consumption and be at their mercy!

After hearing Mu Chen’s words, the queen turned pale. She felt ashamed of herself.

“Sir…Your Majesty has done all that she can. If she had not fought for us, we may not have been able to survive until now.” One of the higher ups in the main hall was quick to defend the queen.

“You don’t have to speak up for me,” the queen said softly. She then said in a low voice, “I am indeed useless, as I am unable to save you.”

She then lifted up her head and looked fervently at Mu Chen and said, “Sir, you do not belong to the Fiend Blood Tribe. So, only you can become the king and save us.”

Mu Chen was powerful, and his strength was comparable to a Blood Demon Lord’s. If he could protect them, the Fiend Blood Tribe would certainly be wary of him.

When Mu Chen heard what the queen had said, he curled up his lips and sneered. After all, this girl had regarded him as being of this world.

He then said snappily, “I don’t belong to your world.”

the queen was stunned and very quickly became excited. She soon lost control of herself and asked, “Sir, did you come from another world out there?”

“It seems like you have some knowledge about it.” Mu Chen was surprised by her reaction. From the looks of it, she seemed to know about the existence of The Great Thousand World.

“I have read some ancient texts that mentioned another world out there. The top powers from the world out there are said to have the ability to contend with the top powers of the Fiend Blood Tribe,” the queen said.

The higher ups in the main hall were excited and looked fervently at Mu Chen. Mu Chen saw their gazes and, just as he was about to speak, something caught his attention.

He lifted up his head to look at the sky in the distance and said, “The troublemakers are here.”

When the people heard what Mu Chen had said, they were puzzled. However, the expression on the queen’s face changed, and her eyes were soon filled with hatred and fear.

Everyone saw that the area had started to darken. Even the clouds were gradually turning red. The whole place was filled with the smell of blood.

“Oh no! The Fiend Blood Tribe is here!” When the higher ups saw the change that had taken place in the area, they turned pale and became fearful.

The entire city-state became chaotic, and as the indigenous people saw the bloody sky, they fell down to the ground and lamented. In this world, the most devastating thing that could happen was the appearance of the Fiend Blood Tribe!

As the people looked on in despair, bloody clouds whizzed toward them from afar, appearing in the sky above the city-state. Several bloody figures appeared in the bloody clouds, all of them looking fierce and ruthless.

As the bloody cloud at the forefront dispersed, four burly figures that looked like demon gods stepped out. They folded their arms before their chests and looked sharply at the huge city-state. A strong oppression swirled out from their bodies.

“Those are four Blood Demon Generals!” When the higher ups in the main hall saw the four burly figures, they turned pale and looked fearful. This was because they knew that their queen could only take on one Blood Demon General.

Mu Chen did not fix his gaze on the four Blood Demon Generals, but squinted his eyes and looked behind them. As Mu Chen was looking behind them, the four Blood Demon Generals suddenly moved back respectfully, revealing a red throne.

A figure with white hair, who was robed in red, was lying lazily on the red throne. When they saw the figure, all of the higher ups in the main hall trembled with fear.

Even the queen grabbed her fists and shivered. She then said, “The Blood Demon Lord is here as well…”

Blood Demon Lord? Mu Chen fixed his gaze on the figure. From what he had sensed, the strength of the Blood Demon Lord was comparable to Sage Zi Yun and his peers.

This meant that he was near the Heavenly Sovereign level. As such, his strength was enough for Mu Chen to take him seriously.

The figure with white hair who was seated on the red throne lowered his head to look at the main hall. He looked as though he was watching a pack of animals that were waiting to be slaughtered.

In the next instant, his cold voice resounded in the area, “Hand the people over.”

His voice lingered in the area, causing the city-state to be tremble. All the higher ups in the main hall shivered with fear.

“Hahaha, were you not feeling smug earlier?” The elder from before, who was still embedded in the stone pillar, laughed when he saw what was going on and mocked Mu Chen.

One of the higher ups looked at the queen and asked, “Your Majesty, what shall we do?”

As everyone immediately stole a glance at Mu Chen, it was apparent that they were thinking of handing Mu Chen over to the Fiend Blood Tribe. Mu Chen smiled when he saw them looking at him, but he did not say a word. He simply looked at the queen, waiting to see what she was going to do about it.

Silence filled the main hall, while everyone’s eyes returned to the queen. Feeling all of their attentions upon her, she grasped her fists and shivered. She then took a deep breath and kept her chest puffed up proudly.

She looked around and asked softly, “Do you really want to live on in this manner, allowing them to treat us like beasts?”

All of their eyes turned red and they shivered. They hated the Fiend Blood Tribe, but they did not have the power to go against them. This devastated them all.

The queen then said, “Regardless of what you think, I no longer want to treat our people like beasts and hand them over to the Fiend Blood Tribe to be devoured…”

Having said that, the queen’s face suddenly turned cold. She looked at the people and said in a low voice, “This time around, I will not hand my people over to them!”

Everyone in the main hall was shocked to hear this. They turned to Mu Chen with perplexed looks.

They knew that their queen had placed all of her hopes on this stranger. If they lost, their tribe would be utterly destroyed.

Mu Chen was taken aback by the queen’s words as well. He was shocked by her decisiveness. After all, hers was not an easy decision to make.

He looked thoughtfully at the queen and asked, “Is there anyone else who is more powerful than the Blood Demon Lord in the Fiend Blood Tribe?”

The queen shook her head and said, “There are a total of six Blood Demon Lords in the Fiend Blood Tribe, and they all call the shots.”

“In that case…” Mu Chen let out a breath. He then turned around and walked out of the main hall as the higher ups looked at him. As he was walking out, his voice resounded in the main hall…

“After today, they will only have five Blood Demon Lords left!”
