The Mu Mansion is one of the most powerful forces in the universe.
Aside from the Endless Flame Domain and the Martial Realm, no other force can compare.
When the force was first established, many people plotted against it, but after the Mu Mansion became the supreme ruler, no one dared to attack it anymore.
Not only the Mu Mansion itself, but also the surrounding forces have found peace by joining forces with it.
In the entire universe, the areas surrounding the Mu Mansion, the Endless Flame Domain, and the Martial Realm are the most peaceful.
The Mu Mansion adheres to the sect system, with Mu Chen as the supreme ruler.
However, Mu Chen has little interest in the tedious government affairs, so Mandala usually handles the affairs of the Mu Mansion.
Together with Luo Li, these three people are the highest decision-makers in the Mu Mansion.
Below these three is the Elders Council, composed of Tian Zhizun and a small number of Sect Masters. Below the Elders Council are Executive Disciples of various ranks.
The Mu Mansion occupies a vast territory, boasts numerous affiliated sects, and possesses immense strength. However, due to Mu Chen's inherent personality, he never bullies others.
Therefore, the surrounding factions are extremely supportive of the Mu Mansion.
If Mu Chen himself lacks a strong desire for power, the Mu Mansion's sphere of influence would be at least doubled.
Even so, the Mu Mansion has become a formidable power, with dozens of Heavenly Supremes affiliated with it.
In the entire universe, there is no other power that can rival it, save for the Endless Flame Realm and the Martial Realm.
Despite the numerous Heavenly Supremes who have joined the Mu Mansion, everyone knows that the core, or indeed its foundation, lies in the Daluo Realm, the original domain of Mu Chen.
And Mandala, the former Lord of the Daluo Realm, is now one of the three decision-makers in the Mu Mansion.
Although Mandala is only a Spirit-level Heavenly Supreme, even the Immortal-level Heavenly Supremes dare not challenge her orders.
Although some who prioritized strength were dissatisfied with this outcome, thanks to Mu Chen and Luo Li's unconditional support, Mandala's position remained unshaken.
As the deputy lord of the Mu Mansion, Mandala's core members of the former Daluo Heavenly Domain were among those who governed it.
The three most powerful of these individuals, the Three Emperors, have now reached the Great Perfection of Earth Supremes, and the Nine Kings of the past are now Upper Earth Supremes.
While such strength might be considered formidable in the Great Thousand World, it's nothing in the Mu Mansion.
After all, the current Mu Mansion already boasts dozens of Heavenly Supremes.
And the actual power of these dozens of Heavenly Supremes in the Mu Mansion is not even comparable to that of the Earth Supremes of the former Daluo Heavenly Domain.
This phenomenon is rare in the Great Thousand World, where strength is paramount, but the many Heavenly Supremes of the Mu Mansion, for the sake of the Mansion's vast resources and the guidance and protection of Great Lord Mu Chen, are forced to endure it.
However, only those Heavenly Supremes who lacked any power, were originally independent individuals, and possessed relatively peaceful personalities could tolerate this.
Those Heavenly Supremes who originally possessed power and possessed arrogant personalities would absolutely not join the Mu Mansion.
The core of the Mu Mansion, in addition to the original members of the Daluo Heavenly Realm, also included five other factions that joined the Mansion when it was first established. Some of these factions were even former enemies.
However, after Mu Chen became the Great Lord, they no longer harbored any thoughts of rebellion and instead rejoiced over their choice.
The leaders of these factions had now all reached the Great Perfection of Earth Supremes, making it virtually impossible for them to become Heavenly Supremes.
However, outsiders could see their status as equivalent to that of ordinary Heavenly Supremes. This was because they were the first factions to join the Mu Mansion. Precisely because of this, despite not being Heavenly Supremes, they all joined the Elders Council and became part of the decision-making body of the Mansion.
Although many factions and individuals with greater power than their own joined later, their status remained unshaken.
To appease Mu Chen, forces like the Netherworld Palace and the Snake God Temple changed their previous cultivation methods, abandoning all cruel practices that displeased Mu Chen.
Today, in the residence of Mandala, Deputy Lord of the Mu Mansion, all members of the original team were present, discussing the affairs of the Mu Mansion.
Mandala sat in the main seat, looking at her three former subordinates and the five sect leaders who had joined the Mu Mansion with her.
"Everyone, Lord Mu has not returned for several years. Although one of his Three Pure Bodies is in charge of the Tianluo Continent, his most important responsibility is to protect Princess Yunxi. Unless it is a matter of great importance to the safety of the Mu Mansion, the Three Pure Bodies will never intervene. What are your thoughts on this matter?" Mandala asked with a frown.
The three emperors of the Daluo Realm and the five sect leaders who had once competed with Mandala pondered for a moment, then the Demon Emperor spoke first. "This rumor isn't widespread; it's just people whispering behind our backs. Their malice isn't strong, but it's doing considerable damage to the reputations of Lord Mu and his mistress. I don't think... it doesn't seem like someone is targeting the Mu Mansion."
"Isn't damaging Lord Mu and his mistress' reputation also targeting the Mu Mansion? Demon Emperor! I think this is inextricably linked to those on the Elders' Council! They've relied on their own strength and have long disliked us elders. Even if they didn't do this, I think they've let it go!" said the Myriad Saints Patriarch with a look of displeasure.
"Old ghost Myriad Saints! Stop your nonsense! If you truly believe these rumors are connected to those on the Elders' Council, you're a complete fool!" said the Netherworld Heavenly Lord.
Hearing the Netherworld Heavenly Lord's words, the Myriad Saints Patriarch fell silent.
He knew full well that, while the elders had a feud with these elders, none had the guts to spread rumors about Lord Mu and his wife, let alone allow them to spread.
"Have you investigated the original source of this rumor?" asked Wanshe Old Ghost, frowning.
Hearing Wanshe Old Ghost's words, Mandala frowned, then looked at Liu Tiandao, who had remained silent.
Under Mandala's gaze, Liu Tiandao sighed helplessly, then smiled bitterly and said, "This rumor originated from those under my Xuantian Palace." He stopped talking.
Back when Mu Chen was still young, the conflict between Xuantian Palace and Mu Chen was the greatest.
Liu Tiandao's two sons both clashed fiercely with Mu Chen, even leading to their cultivation being crippled.
It was precisely because of this that, after the establishment of the Mu Mansion, Liu Tiandao rarely expressed his opinions.
However, he would unwaveringly implement Mu Chen's decisions.
"It seems the person spreading the rumors is incredibly malicious. Not only does he want to tarnish the reputation of Lord Mu and his wife, he also wants him to commit suicide. Palace Master Liu, rest assured, Lord Mu will definitely not make the wrong judgment," Mandala consoled.
Everyone present was well aware that Liu Tiandao was being framed.
For they knew that even if Liu Tiandao had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare spread rumors that would tarnish the reputation of Lord Mu and his wife.
Just as everyone paused in silence, pondering the source of the rumors, Mantora's former subordinate, Shui Huang, spoke up, "A few days ago, I received news that rumors aren't just circulating about Lord Mu and his wife. Within the Endless Fire Region and the Martial Realm, rumors are also circulating about Yan Di, Wu Zu, and their wife. And... they're similar rumors to those about Lord Mu and his wife."
At Shui Huang's words, everyone present was stunned. Liu Tiandao then said in disbelief, "Who in the entire universe would have the guts to spread rumors about the three Great Lords and tarnish their reputations?"
Liu Tiandao's words spoke for everyone's thoughts.
However, no one present had considered one thing—no one dared to spread rumors, but what if they weren't rumors?
What if Mu Chen, who hadn't appeared before his subordinates for a long time, was really, as the rumors said, a cuckold who enjoyed having his wife fucked by others, and Luo Li was a slutty, shameless, black-cunt bitch?
Just as everyone was silent, someone knocked on the conference room door.
Mandala waved her hand, and the barrier-enclosed door swung open. King Shura ran in excitedly, shouting, "There's news from Lord Mu! He'll be back soon!"
At King Shura's words, everyone was stunned, and the solemn, gloomy atmosphere in the meeting room vanished.
Everyone knew that the problem that had been troubling them had been solved.
As long as Mu Chen returned, all problems would cease to be problems.
Just as everyone was rejoicing, King Shura approached Mandala with a strange expression.
Under Mandala's puzzled gaze, King Shura took out a bright red wedding invitation and handed it to her.
When Mandala opened the invitation and read it, her face immediately flushed.
Just as everyone was wondering why Mandala was blushing, King Shura respectfully said, "Congratulations, Madam!" Just as everyone was puzzled by his address, King Shura announced loudly, "Lord Mu has been engaged to Princess Xiao Xiao of the Endless Fire Territory and the Martial Realm Boar Lin Jing. He has also proposed... to the Deputy Palace Master... You are not allowed to refuse! Otherwise, Lord Mu will force her! From now on, our Mu Mansion will have four mistresses!"
After a moment of surprise, everyone quickly realized what was happening and respectfully bowed to Mandala, saying, "Congratulations, Madam Mandala, and Lord Mu on your engagement!"
