# Chapter 2107: The Strong Ones of Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion
"He thinks the whole world revolves around his Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion. Wasn't he beaten miserably yesterday?" Tantai stared at Su Mu's back and said coldly, "Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion, that's all it is."
Tantai's voice was naturally loud, and his words could not escape Su Mu's notice. Su Mu suddenly turned around and coldly swept his gaze over Tantai. Although the Yu Clan might now stand in opposition to the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion because of the Jing Clan, there was no inherent conflict between the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion and the Yu Clan. As a member of the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion, he naturally couldn't tolerate anyone insulting it.
"Someone like you wouldn't understand. Do you really think everyone is that blind swordsman?" Su Mu said with a cold laugh, then addressed Yu Ye, "Ye Zi, how can your Yu Clan treat such a person as an honored guest?"
With that, he continued walking away into the distance. Yu Ye smiled bitterly and turned back to cast an apologetic glance at Lin Feng. After all, Lin Feng was a guest of her Yu Clan. However, she ultimately said nothing and followed Su Mu away. Although Lin Feng had a master who was a formation dao grandmaster, Lin Feng's status naturally couldn't compare to Su Mu's. Su Mu was not only a member of the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion but was also courting her. She understood which was more important.
"Arrogant nonsense." Tantai stared at the departing Su Mu, a violent aura emanating from his eyes. "I really want to grind him into dust."
"There's no point in arguing with him," Lin Feng said calmly. At this moment, his mind was occupied solely with Mu Chen. The Jing Clan had made this choice. What should they do tomorrow?
If they defeated the Jing Clan and seized the array ore mine, what then? Would they make the Jing Clan exchange Mu Chen for the mine?
How would the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion get involved in this matter?
Everything was unknown. They could only wait.
This day seemed to pass especially slowly. Early the next morning, Lin Feng and Tantai had Yu Xin take them to the Yu Clan's gathering place, ready to depart at any time.
When the Yu Clan's strong ones arrived, they found Lin Feng and Tantai already there, showing expressions of surprise. Yu Kun stepped forward and said with a smile, "Nephew Lin Feng, your dedication to the martial path is truly admirable."
"He doesn't know his place," Su Mu said lightly from beside Yu Kun, causing Yu Kun to pause momentarily. A strange expression crossed his face as he looked at his daughter Yu Ye.
Yu Ye smiled bitterly and sent a brief message to Yu Kun explaining what had happened the previous day. After understanding the situation, Yu Kun said nothing more. In fact, he didn't speak another word to Lin Feng afterward.
The group slowly rose into the air, flashing toward the agreed location in Green Mountain City. The Wen and Feng families had already arrived. Besides them, countless people surrounded the vast space.
"The Yu Clan has arrived too. Now only the Jing Clan is left," the crowd murmured as they watched the Yu Clan's arrival. All three great families had descended. Hou Qinglin and the others, who had defeated the Jing Clan three days ago, had also come for Mu Chen. How would the Jing Clan respond today?
"Brother Hou, regarding today's five battles, have you already chosen suitable candidates?" A strong member of the Yu Clan looked at Hou Qinglin, who stood before the Feng family, and asked, disregarding seniority and addressing him directly as Brother Hou.
"We'll see who the Jing Clan can still field," Hou Qinglin said calmly, glancing at Lin Feng with a hint of worry in his eyes. If the Jing Clan refused to hand over Mu Chen, what would they do?
"Indeed. I believe that with the strength of Brother Hou and your fellow disciples, victory is certain," the Yu Clan strong one said with a faint smile. However, if the Jing Clan had truly invited the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion, it wouldn't be so simple for Hou Qinglin and the others to defeat them.
"The Jing Clan has arrived." At that moment, everyone's eyes turned toward the distant space. A group of strong ones walked through the void, rolling in like thunder. The Jing Clan's elders had personally descended, leading the Jing Clan members. Jing Yan and Jing Ran were all there.
In the void, faint rays of light poured down from the sky, casting shadows on the crowd and bringing a hint of warmth. Yet many felt cold sweat on their backs, perhaps due to some anticipation.
"Jing Clan, you still choose to fight rather than release the person?" Hou Qinglin stepped forward, his expression as calm as water, but his heart was not at peace.
"Fight," the Jing Clan strong one said indifferently, causing Hou Qinglin to take a deep breath.
"All disciples of the Heavenly Terrace, hear my command. Today, whoever steps onto the battle platform shall aim to kill their opponent."
A murderous intent spread through the air. Beneath the warm sunlight, people felt a chill. This man called Second Senior Brother, Hou Qinglin, was surely a madman.
"Kill the opponent?" The Jing Clan members revealed cruel smiles. "You, tremble."
Seeing the cold smiles on the Jing Clan members' faces, the surrounding crowd sensed something unusual. At that moment, a thunderous roar came from afar, accompanied by a fierce, violent aura rolling in. The terrifying pressure seemed to crush people's bodies.
"What powerful demonic aura. What kind of demon beast is that?" The crowd stared into the distance. Against the sun in the sky, a massive, terrifying demon beast came rolling in. It had a lion's head and a bird's body, with enormous wings, looking extremely ferocious. The fierce light in its eyes made people's hearts tremble.
"A mutated hybrid demon beast. Its strength must be terrifyingly formidable."
People's hearts trembled as they finally looked at the figures standing atop the demon beast. There were exactly five of them.
On each side of the wings stood two people, wearing array robes with extraordinary bearing. They stood atop the demon beast as if overlooking the mortal world. The most eye-catching was the young strong one standing on the demon beast's head, hands behind his back, robes fluttering in the wind. Among all living beings, he was king.
"It's him." Yu Lin's pupils contracted, the lines on his face seeming to twist slightly. The Jing Clan had actually invited him. With him and the other four, the alliance of the three great families was doomed to lose.
"Hah, he's actually here. What price did the Jing Clan pay to invite him?"
Su Mu looked at the person ahead and took a deep breath, feeling his heart pound slightly. Although the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion was an extremely powerful force, there were only a few rare individuals who could truly claim to stand at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm. The young strong one standing proudly on the demon beast's head, overlooking heaven and earth, was one of them. He should have been preparing for the Nine Heavens Gathering, yet here he was in Green Mountain City.
Seeing the abnormal reactions of Yu Lin and Su Mu, the Yu Clan members seemed to realize something and asked Yu Lin.
"Who is this person?"
"One of the few in the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion closest to being an Invincible Martial Emperor," Yu Lin said solemnly.
An Invincible Martial Emperor was a title of invincibility. Because of different talents, some people reached the Great Emperor Realm when their cultivation level was sufficient, while some monstrous prodigies, even without reaching the Great Emperor Realm, could already slay Great Emperors. A person close to being an Invincible Martial Emperor was more precious and rarer than countless Great Emperors.
Hearing the words "Invincible Martial Emperor," Lin Feng thought of the title "Invincible Sovereign Lord." However, an Invincible Martial Emperor should be different from an Invincible Sovereign Lord. An Invincible Sovereign Lord had comprehended laws or a thousandfold momentum, reaching a certain level of cultivation. But an Invincible Martial Emperor had only one criterion: combat power.
No one dared to truly claim invincibility at any cultivation level. No matter how talented, no one dared to say that. The continent was too vast, the Nine Heavens too wide. Who could claim invincibility at any level? Therefore, for strong ones of a certain level, people called them "close to invincible." On the Shen Xiao Continent, being close to invincible at a certain level meant being qualified to participate in the Nine Heavens Gathering.
"Close to being an Invincible Martial Emperor." The Yu Clan members' expressions stiffened. Then Su Mu also spoke: "Among Martial Emperors, Ye Que can instantly kill ordinary peak Martial Emperor level experts."
"Ye Que is very strong. Even within the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion, he is a behemoth-like existence."
Yu Lin and Su Mu spoke one after another, shocking the Yu Clan members until the lines on their faces twitched. The Jing Clan had actually invited such a monstrous prodigy. It seemed impossible for them to seize the Jing Clan's array ore vein.
"What about the other four?"
"They are also very formidable. It seems I shouldn't participate in this battle. Let them fight," Yu Lin said indifferently, already giving up on competing for the Jing Clan's mine. Hou Qinglin and the others were probably just going to their deaths.
Lin Feng clearly heard the words of Yu Lin and Su Mu, and his brow furrowed slightly. It wasn't that he feared these people were too strong, but since such a person had gotten involved, there must be high-level figures from the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion behind this. Otherwise, how could the Jing Clan mobilize such power?
Lin Feng thought of this, and some of the old fellows from the Yu Clan also thought of it. At this moment, they were already considering what price the Jing Clan had paid and whether it would drag the three families of the Yu Clan into it.
"It seems we need to have Yu Lin be more active after returning to the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion and also build a good relationship with Su Mu. If something really happens, we hope they can use their connections to prevent the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion from attacking our Yu Clan," the Yu Clan strong ones thought to themselves.
At this moment, the demon beast descended before the Jing Clan members. The Jing Clan members immediately stepped forward to greet them. Seeing this scene, the people of Green Mountain City seemed to realize that these visitors were extraordinary.
"Senior Brother Ye Que, I didn't expect you to grace Green Mountain City with your presence. If I had known, I would have come to welcome you earlier," Su Mu said, slightly bowing to Ye Que on the distant demon beast, speaking politely.
"Senior Brother Ye Que, since you have come to our Green Mountain City, our Yu Clan will do our utmost to entertain you. I hope Senior Brother Ye Que won't refuse," Yu Lin also said, cupping his hands toward Ye Que very politely. This scene left countless people speechless. Both Yu Lin and Su Mu were members of the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion. For them to be so polite to a peer could only mean that this peer was not on the same level as them!
