Tang Qian'Er was in a terrible mood. When Mu Chen left the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, she had chosen to stay. With her talent and many years of effort, she had stepped into the realm of Eighth Grade Sovereign. Some time ago, she had also been promoted to Vice Chief of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy.

After her promotion, she asked for a vacation to visit her father in the Northern Spiritual Realm. During her visit, she happened to attend the Ceremony of Audience with the Lord because her father, Tang Shan, was going to go to Hundred Spirit City with Uncle Mu. As someone who liked the hustle and bustle of the city, she naturally followed.

Unfortunately, trouble arose. When she followed Uncle Mu, she met Lord Hundred Spirit, who apparently had set his sights on her. However, she turned him down. Thus, Lord Hundred Spirit was displeased and had restricted Uncle Mu and her father's freedom, and it was obvious that he wanted to threaten her into agreeing. This was the source of Tang Qian'Er's bad mood.

"Oh, my daughter." Behind Mu Feng, Tang Shan smiled bitterly. He looked at Tang Qian'Er. She was still quiet, but she clenched her fists from time to time. He naturally knew that she was in a very bad mood, and he could not help but reproach himself. "It's my fault. I let you accompany me."

Tang Shan loved his daughter dearly, and when she was sent to the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, he did not think that she would be so outstanding. Now, she was even an Eighth Grade Sovereign and could be considered one of the most powerful in their Northern Spiritual Realm.

Moreover, Tang Qian'Er also became Vice Chief of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. Compared to Mu Feng, who was the chieftain of the Northern Spiritual Alliance, she was incredibly exceptional. He should be happy that his daughter was so brilliant, but it was her excellence that had landed them in trouble.

Lord Hundred Spirit was reputable and had seen many beauties, but in the face of Tang Qian'Er's beauty, he was still extremely attracted to her, even to the point of coercion.

Mu Feng patted Tang Shan on the shoulder, then said quietly to Tang Qian'Er, "Qian'Er, try to find a chance to leave. With Lord Hundred Spirit's arrogance and his need to uphold his reputation, he won't do anything to us. If worst comes to worst, I'll just dissolve the Northern Spiritual Alliance."

He had watched Tang Qian'Er grow up, and she and Mu Chen were childhood friends. Seeing the circumstances, Mu Feng didn't want to see her suffer.

Tang Qian'Er sighed. Lord Hundred Spirit was no gracious man. If she left alone, he would take it out on her father and Uncle Mu.

I can't let anything happen to Uncle Mu here, or else how would I account for it to Mu Chen? Tang Qian'Er clenched her fists as her eyes flashed. She was determined to find an opportunity to help her father and Uncle Mu escape. As Vice Chief of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, she also had some means of escape, so Lord Hundred Spirit would not be able to catch up.

However, in doing so, her father and Uncle Mu, who had worked hard for years to establish the Northern Spiritual Alliance, might be completely destroyed by Lord Hundred Spirit. She could no longer return to the Northern Spiritual Realm, the place she had grown up. She had a lot of memories there, which made her very reluctant to leave.

As she pondered, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly surged. The leaders of many forces rose, looking respectfully towards the front of the hall. There, surrounded by many beautiful palace ladies, a powerful figure emerged. The figure wore a gold robe and had a tall, slender body. He was handsome, while his slightly narrow eyes gave him an extra hint of softness. A strong spiritual energy surged in his gait. He had stepped into the stage of Lower Earthly Sovereign.

Behind the man in the gold robe, there were two old men clad in black robes following him like specters.

When the man in the gold robe appeared, the leaders of the many forces on the Hundred Spirit Continent cried out in flattery, "All hail Lord Hundred Spirit!" The atmosphere was boisterous.

Sitting on the throne with a smile on his face, Lord Hundred Spirit pressed his hand on the armrest and said, "Please have a seat, everyone."

Many of the leaders bowed respectfully, then sat down. Lord Hundred Spirit smiled satisfactorily at their demeanor. He looked down at the leaders in the hall, and at last his gaze stopped where the Northern Spiritual Alliance was seated, or more precisely, on a beautiful figure.

"Oh, Miss Qian'Er, are you still satisfied with my Hundred Spirit City these days?" Lord Hundred Spirit asked with a gentle smile, ignoring the other leaders.

Tang Qian'Er's beautiful face was calm as she replied, "Hundred Spirit City is bustling, and I have already seen its prosperity. But as Vice Chief of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, I have many affairs to see to, and I am afraid it is impossible to stay for a long time." Her words again expressed rejection. At the same time, she mentioned the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, in hopes that Lord Hundred Spirit would no longer press her.

Lord Hundred Spirit smiled as if he hadn't understood her meaning. He caressed the jade cup in front of him as he smiled and said, "I shall be honest with you. I fell in love with Miss Qian'Er at first sight. I hope that you can stay and rule over this land with me."

As soon as this remark came out, an uproar emerged in the hall. The leaders of all the forces looked at Tang Qian'Er with envy. In their view, this was a blessing, as she could have a meteoric rise in one go.

However, Tang Qian'Er could not help but clench her fist. She was incredibly frustrated and would have liked nothing more than to throw the wine in Lord Hundred Spirit's face. However, she was no longer that young and rash girl. She took a deep breath. "I am grateful for your admiration, but I like my life at the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. I hope that on account of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, you will let this go."

Lord Hundred Spirit smiled as he fiddled with the jade cup and said slowly, "Although the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy is famous, I am afraid it is nothing to me. My father is the Clan Leader of the Beixuan Clan, at the initial stage of God Grade Heavenly Sovereign. My mother is the Clan Leader of the Hundred Flower Clan, at the initial stage of Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign. Do you think that I would be afraid of a mere Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy?"

Although he had said it with a smile, the original lively atmosphere in the hall quieted for a moment. Many leaders trembled. Although they all knew Lord Hundred Spirit's background, they still felt unparalleled pressure and fear.

The Beixuan Clan was a reputable supreme power in the northwest region of the Great Thousand World, and they had ruled over the Four Great Continents. The Hundred Spirit Continent was one of them, and it could be said that the Beixuan Clan was a well-deserved hegemony in this vast region.

Although the Hundred Flower Clan's strength was not as strong as the Beixuan Clan's, it was also a hegemony in its own right. In comparison, the leaders present were nothing but ants. When these hegemonies let out a huff, they could be blown to powder.

This was also why, although Lord Hundred Spirit was only a Lower Earthly Sovereign, he could dominate the entire Hundred Spirit Continent. Lord Hundred Spirit possessed a frightening background, so some leaders who were more powerful than he was could only be subordinate to him.

Tang Qian'Er's face turned dark, as she obviously felt a great deal of pressure. In terms of strength, the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy was really unable to compare. However, this did not mean that the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy was a pushover. As a Spiritual Academy, its strength did not lie in its power but in its connections. If the Beixuan Clan and Hundred Flower Clan were really bent on destroying the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, Tang Qian'Er believed that they would be hindered by many forces.

She clenched her fists and said slowly, "Lord Hundred Spirit, are you really going to make things difficult?"

The smile on Lord Hundred Spirit's face vanished, and his eyes narrowed into dangerous arcs. The entire hall was silent, and many leaders of the land broke out in cold sweat. They were secretly annoyed by Tang Qian'Er's ignorance. If she angered Lord Hundred Spirit, the consequences would be dire.

Mu Feng's gaze changed, as he was able to feel Tang Qian'Er's pressure. He grit his teeth, stood up, and clasped his fists at Lord Hundred Spirit. "My Lord, don't be angry. Qian'Er is young and still not sensible, but she is childhood friends with my son. You're destined for better things. Why be enraged over a woman?"

However, before he could finish speaking, Lord Hundred Spirit glanced at him coldly. Behind him, a black-robed old man glared at him and took a step forward, saying, "Is it your place to speak?!" His voice was like thunder, causing the entire hall to shake. Mu Feng grew silent as if he had been hit hard. His face was white as he staggered and sat down. A trace of blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

A horrifying spiritual pressure emanated from the black-robed old man, and many leaders were shocked. A Complete Earthly Sovereign?! They were stunned. Lord Hundred Spirit had an outstanding background, indeed. He was only a Lower Earthly Sovereign, but his guards were Complete Earthly Sovereigns.

Lord Hundred Spirit fiddled with the jade cup and did not look at Mu Feng. He said coldly, "I did not call on you to speak. How dare you stand up to talk? Who are you? Who is your child? How dare he compete with me over a woman?"

Mu Feng's face was white with rage as he clenched his fists in his sleeves.

Tang Qian'Er hurriedly helped him up as she asked worriedly, "Uncle Mu, are you alright?"

Mu Feng shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed, "I'm useless…"

Tang Qian'Er grit her teeth as her eyes flashed. She knew she could no longer stay here. Her plan now was to appease Lord Hundred Spirit, and then find a chance to summon an art to help her father and Uncle Mu to escape immediately.

These thoughts flashed in her heart as she stood up, glancing at Lord Hundred Spirit. Gritting her teeth, she began to say, "Well, I promise to be with you-"

However, before she could finish her sentence, a long, slender palm suddenly stretched out from behind her, gently covering her rosy mouth. At the same time, a familiar laughter with a deep chill suddenly rang in the hall. "Sister Qian'Er, please say no more. This imbecile is not worthy of you at all."
