With Hei Guang holding back Red Flame Old Immortal, the remaining Mo Yin immediately attacked Mu Chen without any reservations.
After all, this was the Great Thousand Tower. Even though they were elders of the Buddha Ancient Clan, they still did not dare to cause too great a disturbance, otherwise Lu Tong would definitely not sit back and ignore it.
Therefore, the plan the two had decided upon was to capture that sinner in the shortest amount of time and then immediately leave. At worst, they would lower their pride afterward and apologize to Lu Tong.
Compared to the Ancestor's "Eight Buddha Pagoda," what did a little face matter?
As Mu Chen looked at Mo Yin approaching him, he naturally would not surrender without resistance. So what if, in his current state, he was no different from an ant before the other party?
Looking at Mu Chen's calm expression and eyes filled with cold light, even Mo Yin could not help but sigh inwardly at how extraordinary this sinner was. If not for his identity, based solely on his current display, this child's future achievements would definitely not be inferior to Xuan Luo and Mo Xin.
"What a pity. Your very existence is the shame of my Buddha Ancient Clan…"
Raising a hand, immense spiritual energy wildly gathered before forming a gigantic hand that directly grabbed toward Mu Chen.
Wherever the great hand passed, space itself froze. Mu Chen was completely locked down and had no opportunity to flee.
This scene instantly caused Mu Chen, Luo Li, Long Xiang, and the others beside him to drastically change expressions. The latter two had even already begun frantically gathering their own spiritual energy, preparing to help Mu Chen resist this grasp.
Although the difference in strength between both sides was enormous, Mu Chen possessed the Dragon Army he had obtained from the Dragon Space. If he truly fought desperately, there was still a chance to escape.
But one could escape for a time, not forever!
Faced with the Buddha Ancient Clan, who were prepared to disregard all rules, Mu Chen truly had no way to resist.
Wen Qingxuan, who was watching from the side, was also greatly alarmed. Without hesitation, she immediately prepared to ask the Heavenly Sovereign of the Wen family to help.
However, before she could speak, a five colored light barrier suddenly appeared out of nowhere, directly protecting Mu Chen, Luo Li, and Long Xiang within it. The moment the giant hand touched the five colored barrier, it was directly eroded and melted away by the spiritual energy upon it!
This scene shocked everyone present. Even Hei Guang, who was currently exchanging blows with Red Flame Old Immortal, stopped and stood together with Mo Yin as both simultaneously looked toward the entrance of the Great Thousand Tower.
A tall figure had unknowingly appeared there. At this moment, he was looking at everything happening inside the tower with a faint smile.
"Hehe, it seems the Great Thousand Tower is especially lively today. Given everyone's status, taking action inside the Great Thousand Tower seems somewhat inappropriate, no?"
The newcomer spoke with a smile.
Although those words made it sound as though he were the owner of the Great Thousand Tower, no one refuted him.
There was no other reason. The one who spoke was the second Demon Slaying King to appear in countless years within the Great Thousand Tower. According to the rules, he indeed possessed the qualifications to say such things.
"Liu Bai!"
Hei Guang and Mo Yin simultaneously frowned, solemn expressions appearing in their eyes.
Although the other party was merely a junior who had broken through only a few days ago, whether in terms of battle power or status, they did not dare underestimate this young man before them.
If he truly intended to interfere in today's matter, then they really would have trouble because he not only represented himself, but also represented the Great Thousand Tower!
If one were to ask which faction currently possessed the greatest strength on the Saint Abyss Continent, it would naturally be none other than the Great Thousand Tower, because they were the local rulers! Even though the Buddha Ancient Clan had prepared hidden trump cards for this matter, they could only yield before the Great Thousand Tower.
"Does Mister Liu also intend to interfere in the affairs of my Buddha Ancient Clan? That does not seem to comply with the rules, does it?"
Hei Guang spoke with a gloomy face. "As for taking action within the Great Thousand Tower, this was an urgent matter requiring special handling. Afterward, my Buddha Ancient Clan will certainly give the Great Thousand Palace a satisfactory explanation!"
Just now, during that brief exchange with Liu Bai, the other party's Five Element spiritual energy had indeed been troublesome. It had silently eroded even his darkness spiritual energy. There were not many in the Great Thousand World capable of such a thing.
"Hehe, you two misunderstand. This time, I did not appear in the name of the Great Thousand Palace. I merely represent myself…" Liu Bai said with a smile.
Afterward, he waved his hand and withdrew the defensive barrier around Mu Chen and the others before beckoning toward them.
"Senior!"
A trace of gratitude flashed through Mu Chen's eyes as he quickly walked over together with Luo Li and Long Xiang.
To be honest, Mu Chen truly had not expected Liu Bai to help him at such a critical moment, even to the point of opposing the Buddha Ancient Clan for his sake!
Strictly speaking, Mu Chen was not truly subordinate to the Five Elements Divine Palace. The reason he had been able to shelter under the Five Elements Divine Palace was merely because of the transaction between Liu Bai and the Heavenly Emperor back then.
Moreover, in the Lesser West Heaven Realm, Liu Bai had already repaid that favor.
"Hehe, it seems this trip to the Scared Ancient Abyss has allowed you to grow quite a bit, Mu Chen!"
That was indeed the truth. Merely judging from appearances, Mu Chen's harvest this time had actually been even greater than Liu Bai's!
Hearing this, Mu Chen could only smile bitterly. This trip to the Scared Ancient Abyss had indeed brought him tremendous gains, but the process had also been incomparably dangerous. He had truly exchanged his life for it.
Meanwhile, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin, who were watching this scene from the opposite side, were grinding their teeth. They could not understand why so many experts were willing to stand beside that "sinner."
Originally, they had believed Mu Chen would undoubtedly die this time, and the Eight Buddha Pagoda would certainly fall into their hands.
But now…
A trace of anger flashed through Hei Guang's gloomy eyes. Without the Great Thousand Palace as backing, a newly advanced Heavenly Sovereign actually dared to jump around before the Buddha Ancient Clan. Had the Buddha Ancient Clan remained inactive in the Great Thousand World for too long, causing everyone to forget the might of the Buddha Ancient Clan?!
"You truly intend to interfere in the affairs of my Buddha Ancient Clan?!" Mo Yin also shouted furiously.
Liu Bai nodded toward Mu Chen before shifting his gaze toward the two men and calmly saying, "Everything should follow reason!"
"This Eight Buddha Pagoda was personally passed down to Mu Chen by Ancestor Buddha himself. It is entirely justified, reasonable, and legitimate. Yet you wish to use forceful methods to seize it. Are we not even allowed to resist?"
"Hmph! Sophistry! The Eight Buddha Pagoda is the inherited object of my Buddha Ancient Clan. How could it possibly fall into the hands of an outsider? Even if you two protect him, this little bastard absolutely cannot escape punishment today!"
Liu Bai smiled faintly and looked toward the two of them. "Are you certain there are only two?"
As his words fell, another figure stepped forward, standing together with him and Red Flame Old Immortal.
The Wen family's Granny He!
In an instant, the expressions of everyone from the Buddha Ancient Clan drastically changed.
Three Heavenly Sovereigns standing before Mu Chen directly stunned everyone present.
Mo Yin's heart twitched as his aged face became incomparably gloomy. Staring at Granny He, he said darkly, "The Wen family also intends to interfere in the affairs of my Buddha Ancient Clan?"
Granny He lazily raised her eyelids and indifferently replied, "Although my Wen family does not possess foundations as deep as your Buddha Ancient Clan, we still understand repaying kindness. This boy greatly helped Qingxuan and the others, so naturally this old woman cannot simply stand by and watch you shameless old fellows bully him."
Anger surged within Mo Yin's eyes, but he merely took a deep breath and sinisterly stared at Mu Chen.
"I truly did not expect there to be so many people protecting you."
Mu Chen expressionlessly stared at him, a trace of killing intent flashing through his eyes.
"However, what a pity no matter how many people protect you today, it will still be useless!"
A mocking smile appeared on Mo Yin's face. Then he turned toward the outside of the Great Thousand Tower, cupped his fists, and called out.
"Ninth Elder, please take action."
"Sigh…"
As soon as Mo Yin's voice fell, everyone heard a faint sigh seemingly echo beside their ears.
A stooped old man holding a black staff slowly walked in from outside the entrance.
His face was gaunt, and his pupils were somewhat pitch black. Though his movements appeared slow, it was as if he was stepping through space itself. With a single step, he appeared beside Mo Yin.
This old man did not emit any especially powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, but the moment he appeared, Red Flame Old Immortal and the Wen Family's Granny He could not help but change expressions.
"Buddha Ancient Clan Ninth Elder, Mo You?!" Red Flame Old Immortal said solemnly.
"Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign?!" Granny He's eyes narrowed. The Buddha Ancient Clan had actually dispatched an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign just to capture Mu Chen?
Among everyone present, only Liu Bai remained calm as he looked indifferently at the old man.
Naturally, the Buddha Ancient Clan had not prepared such a massive lineup merely for a mere Mu Chen. However, for a peerless divine ability like the Eight Buddha, it was worth it.
The old man before him also gave Liu Bai immense pressure, but compared to before, he was still inferior to the Western Heaven Battle Emperor. No matter what, the Battle Emperor had been a peak Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign, and during the Great Thousand Alliance he had even advanced into Saint Grade. One could look down on the Battle Emperor's character, but not his talent!
The black staff old man Mo You swept his gaze across Red Flame Old Immortal, Granny He, and Liu Bai. His eyes paused only briefly on Liu Bai before shifting toward Mu Chen.
"So you are that sinner?"
The indifferent words sounded out. Mu Chen mocked with a smile and said, "Looks like your Great Elder's words do not carry much weight within the Buddha Ancient Clan."
He had learned from Qing Shuang that his mother had made an agreement with the Buddha Ancient Clan's Great Elder that Heavenly Sovereigns would not take action against him. Yet now these Heavenly Sovereigns kept appearing one after another, clearly intending to ignore that agreement.
"Special circumstances require special measures. Presumably the Great Elder will understand."
Mo You still spoke unhurriedly.
To be honest, whether Mu Chen was captured or not was not important to an expert like him, so Mo You continued, "As long as you hand over the Eight Buddha, this old man can let you leave."
Mu Chen pursed his lips and firmly shook his head with cold determination.
"Since you are so stubborn, this old man can only bully the weak with strength."
Seeing Mu Chen refuse, Mo You sighed softly.
He lightly stomped the black staff in his hand, and a black ring of light suddenly shot out from the staff. That ring directly sealed the surrounding space, and even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was imprisoned within that region.
Seeing this, Mu Chen's heart stirred as he prepared to fight desperately.
However, before the ring could descend upon him, a sharp golden light suddenly shot across the sky and struck the ring directly, forcibly shattering it.
Everyone was shocked. Even Mo You himself looked somewhat surprised before turning his gaze toward the one who had acted.
"That is…"
Naturally, the one who acted was Liu Bai. However, unlike before, Liu Bai was now holding a golden spear over ten feet long in his hand.
"World Shocking Divine Spear!"
[T/N: Supreme Divine Spear has been changed to World Shocking Divine Spear]
As the supreme treasure once used by the Spear Ancestor to dominate the Great Thousand World, the World Shocking Divine Spear was in the eyes of many veteran experts no inferior to the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
Now that Liu Bai held such a peerless weapon of slaughter, even an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign like Mo You did not dare underestimate him too much.
"I had already heard that the Spear Ancestor's inheritance had been obtained by someone. I never expected even the World Shocking Divine Spear would be passed down. Youngster, your luck is truly extraordinary."
Mo You sighed with emotion.
Although he greatly desired a treasure of the World Shocking Divine Spear's level, Mo You was very clear headed. This was not something he could covet.
Right now, the conflict between Liu Bai and the Buddha Ancient Clan was merely a personal clash because of Mu Chen. However, if he dared set his sights on the World Shocking Divine Spear, then the one waiting for him would very likely be the Great Thousand Palace's first Great Thousand Palace Demon Slayer King.
Those who dared rob a Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace could probably be counted on one hand in the entire Great Thousand World.
And those who truly possessed such strength would not care about a World Shocking Divine Spear that had already fallen in grade.
"It is merely the legacy left behind by predecessors." Liu Bai smiled faintly.
"Enough nonsense. Since I, Liu Bai, have decided to interfere in today's matter, then I will see it through to the end."
"Senior Mo You, if your Buddha Ancient Clan wishes to take Mu Chen away, it is very simple. You only need to break the spear in my hand!"
Liu Bai was somewhat using the opportunity to provoke matters further, because he truly wanted to know how large the gap was between his current self and veteran Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereigns like Mo You.
Mo You's expression darkened, and a trace of anger flashed through his eyes.
Liu Bai's sudden challenge also caused an uproar throughout the entire Great Thousand Tower. Even Red Flame Old Immortal and Granny He were stunned, their gazes toward Liu Bai becoming somewhat unbelievable.
This little fellow had only just broken through into Heavenly Sovereign. He had not even touched upon the most important secret of Spiritual Pulses, yet he already dared face an Immortal Grade head on?
Wan Feng and Supervisor Lu Tong, who had remained uninvolved at the side until now, also had no choice but to appear, unable to understand what exactly Liu Bai intended to do.
"You truly intend to fight this old man?" Mo You suppressed his anger and asked.
At the end of the day, Liu Bai's identity remained his greatest concern, especially with Lu Tong and Wan Feng glaring at the side.
"Please grant me your guidance, Senior!" Liu Bai smiled faintly as he lowered his posture slightly and brandished the spear.
"Good, good, good! Let it not be said that this old man bullies the younger generation. I will use only one move. If you can withstand it, then today I shall no longer force Mu Chen through violence. But if this old man wins, then you are not to continue interfering in this matter!"
In the end, Mo You still left some room for compromise, though he was also confident that one move would be enough to suppress this ignorant youngster before him, even if he possessed a treasure like the World Shocking Divine Spear!
