Atop three white jade platforms, the victory and defeat of this battle had been determined. Silence descended upon heaven and earth, as many supreme powers looked at this scene.

They secretly sighed, as the Budur Ancient Clan would only have two Key Lineages left after today's events. On the seats of the Xuan and Mo lineage, the two Lineage Heads, Xuan Guang and Mo Tong sat on the Xuan and Mo lineages' seats calmly, no hint of emotion in their eyes. It was clear that they had expected this situation to happen.

They only glanced at the mournful Qing Lineage Head, Qing Tian, with a mocking glint in their eyes. These people of the Qing lineage must be regretting not having protected Qing Yanjing at that moment. If the latter was present now, how could they have fallen into such a state?

"I have failed all of you." As the crowd looked on, some in sympathy and some in ridicule, the Qing Lineage Head let out a bitter sigh, his already wizened appearance becoming more despondent.

Now that he had failed to defend himself against his challengers, his lineage had lost one more seat. They now had only two seats left in the Elder Academy. According to the rules of the clan, only a lineage that had three seats could be a Key Lineage.

From now on, their Qing lineage would be demoted to a Sub Lineage. As such, they would naturally lose incalculable resources and power, and if they wanted to ever become a Key Lineage again, it would take them countless years to do so.

Outside that stone platform, Elder Qing Xuan clenched her fists, and her expression was downcast. She knew that was also unable to change anything about the situation. Thus, she could only shake her head bitterly as she thought...

Now, I can only hope that Mu Chen can do something to turn the tides. If not, our Qing lineage will be done for.

On the mountain where many people of the Xuan and Mo lineage were gathered, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin could not help but laugh. Their plans had finally come to fruition after such a long time!

"That Mu Chen won't be able to survive for long." Xuan Luo sneered coldly.

As long as the Qing lineage was demoted to a Sub Lineage, there would be no obstacles in their way. They could even send out law enforcers to capture Mu Chen.

As to whether or not this move would lead to a furious reaction from Qing Yanjing, they did not care. Besides, they had always criticized the Great Elder for being too patient with Qing Yanjing anyway. Now, since they had expelled the Qing lineage and the two lineages had formed an alliance in the Elders Academy, even the Great Elder had to consider their opinions.

The mountain where many of the Qing lineage members were at was enveloped in a cloud of gloom. All of them had bitter faces, and the younger generation, who had been vying for attention earlier, now remained silent. Their faces were filled with fear, as they had begun to understand what a blow it would be to them now that the Qing lineage had lost their dominant position.

The Xuan Lineage Head looked around the mountain and smiled faintly. Then, looking over in the direction of the Great Elder, he clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Great Elder, the victory has been determined. Please announce the results."

From the top of the majestic peak, the Great Elder opened his eyes. He looked at the Qing Lineage Head's melancholic face and sighed.

Then, his deep voice rang out, "The Qing lineage has failed to win this challenge, so they will now lose a seat."

The Great Elder's voice reverberated throughout heaven and earth, as if the sound of a judge's gavel had just banged down with finality, completely destroying the only trace of hope that the Qing lineage had left.

On the mountain where Mu Chen was, Qing Shuang's originally calm and beautiful face had become dull. Her eyes were now filled with despondence.

"It's over…" she murmured, while feeling extremely distraught.

After today, she did not know what troubles the Qing lineage was going to face, but it was clear that its status would plummet. Mu Chen, who was in front of her, also took a deep breath at this time, then walked forward.

"Mu Chen? What are you doing?" Qing Shuang looked at Mu Chen, who had just stepped out of the mountain and was walking in the air. She had exclaimed in shock, as she knew that Mu Chen's sudden appearance would be noticed immediately!

"Since I have received benefits from your Qing lineage, I will naturally repay you all." Mu Chen tilted his head slightly and smiled at her.

Qing Shuang stared at his figure, as she was worried and did not know what he was going to do. Paying no more attention to her, Mu Chen turned back around and walked in the air. He then raised his head and looked at the majestic peak, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

Budur Ancient Clan, you have been seeking me for many years. Today, I have come to see exactly what you can do to me.

As Mu Chen was thinking this, the Great Elder's powerful voice rumbled between heaven and earth, "Due to this defeat, the Qing lineage only has two seats left. In accordance with the rules of our clan, the master must be deposed..."

"Wait!" Just before the Great Elder had finished speaking, a clear voice suddenly interrupted him.

The sudden sound caused countless sovereigns to freeze, and in the next moment, they looked towards where the sound had just come from, astonishment etched on their faces. A handsome young man stood in the air, his hands clasped behind his back. His face was calm, but he emanated an extraordinary aura.

"Who's that? He is bold to interrupt Great Elder Budur Xuan!" someone asked with gasp. Many supreme powers were looking at Mu Chen with doubt in their eyes, their faces all revealing their shock.

From the top of the peak that was closest to the main mountain, Yao Chen and Lin Diao looked up at this scene. They smiled at each other, while Yao Chen said, "The show is finally beginning."

Xiao Xiao, who was beside them, looked at Mu Chen and nodded. "This guy is as bold as always."

Lin Jing chuckled and said, "Sister Xiao Xiao, Mu Chen now has the capital to behave in such a way."

Now, Mu Chen was not only a Heavenly Sovereign, but he could also seek help from the Endless Fire Territory and the Martial Border. In addition, he had the Mu Estate and his identity as the Great Thousand Palace's Demon Slayer King, so Mu Chen no longer needed to fear the Budur Ancient Clan.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao laughed gently. Even someone as proud as her was full of admiration for Mu Chen.

After all, he was able to start from scratch in this vast Great Thousand World and, by virtue of his own power, make it to where he was today. It was no wonder that even proud people such as her father now valued him significantly.

"Today, let's see how this guy will turn the Budur Ancient Clan upside down," Xiao Xiao said.

As they were speaking, Great Elder Budur Xuan froze at the sudden of Mu Chen's voice. In the next moment, his gaze swept across the surroundings, stopping when his eyes reached Mu Chen.

Budur Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, as it was rare for such a young man to be a Heavenly Sovereign. Compared to him, even the members of the younger generation of the Budur Ancient Clan, such as Xuan Luo and Mo Xin, paled in comparison. Also, for some reason, he felt that the handsome young man before him seemed familiar.

"Who are you? Why are you meddling in the affairs of my Budur Ancient Clan?" Budur Xuan's face was calm, but his low voice was like thunder, shaking the world. It emanated a Divine-level oppression, causing countless sovereigns to be stunned.

At this time, on a nearby mountain, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin were dumbfounded the moment that Mu Chen appeared. They pointed at Mu Chen and could not say anything for a long time. Obviously, they had not expected for him to show up here.

The members of the Xuan and Mo lineages looked at them strangely, apparently wondering why they were so stunned. On the other side of the white jade platform, Elder Heishan also looked at Mu Chen with shock.

He then lowered his voice and exclaimed, "Mu Chen? How dare this perpetrator come here?"

After all, he had asked a Heavenly Sovereign to deal with Mu Chen, so he had to wonder... How could this guy be here now?

Although his voice was soft, the Xuan Lineage Head, Xuan Guang, and the Mo Lineage Head, Mo Tong, could hear him clearly, and they were both astonished.

"Mu Chen? This man is the perpetrator?" they both exclaimed in unison.

From high above them, Mu Chen did not care about their uncertain gazes. He just looked up and glanced at Great Elder Budur Xuan unabashedly. After a moment, he smiled, while his clear voice resounded in heaven and earth, "My name is Mu Chen Perhaps you are unfamiliar with my name, but I think that you are familiar with my mother."

"Oh?" Budur Xuan's gaze flashed.

Mu Chen smiled, while a cold expression surfaced on his face. His eyes were electric as he stared at Budur Xuan.

Clasping his fists, he then said slowly, "My mother... Qing Yanjing."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless members of the Budur Ancient Clan stood up abruptly, their eyes focused on the proud and handsome young man in the sky. This person had given their Budur Ancient Clan a headache for the longest time?
