The Great Ruler - Chapter 903

Chapter 903: Lin Min

As the storm of spiritual energy ravaged the Meteorfall Battlefield, the violent battle raged on . Every force was fighting fiercely for the Meteorfall Alchemy Pill and the other inheritance . In such a ferocious battle, some forces began to fail to bear the burden of war, eventually fading away quietly .

Of course, once the Great Hunt had escalated to this scale, even escaping became a difficult task . As some forces tried to run away to preserve their strength, they were ambushed again .

As such, many powerful individuals of various sects were eliminated . The rest, who managed to survive, were obviously incapable of reviving their sects . Therefore, such forces, once reputable, would finally dissipate away from the North Territory, like vapor and smoke . Their previously renowned names would pass away, like a fleeting puff of wind .

This was the Great Hunt . Here, no one was forever a hunter, as no one could truly know when the hunter might become the prey!

It was in this cruel atmosphere that Mu Chen led a large company of the Daluo Territory to leave the land of seclusion, heading straight toward the place where the lords of the Daluo Territory were gathered .

The company was well-trained and powerful . Due to their previous feats in the Death Relics, Mu Chen garnered the attention of all of the forces immediately as he appeared .

Within the month, however, it was Zhantai Liuli who garnered the most attention on the Meteorfall Battlefield . However, even she had suffered a great loss in the Death Relics thanks to Mu Chen . As such, many viewed Mu Chen as a more difficult enemy than Zhantai Liuli . Thus, they were naturally more cautious upon his emergence .

But, Mu Chen gave not a single thought to this attention and these gazes . He merely pushed on as quickly as they could, not stopping at all . Due to Mu Chen's notoriety and the scale of their army, not a single force along the way tried to attack them .

As they travelled at full speed, they were able to cross half of the Meteorfall Battlefield within just four days . They then gradually approached the inner region of the Meteorfall Battlefield .

This region was much more horrifying than the ones before it . Anyone with the guts to enter this region would certainly be worthy of high praise . Though there would be lesser battles fought here, every battle would still be sky-crumbling and earth-shattering .

Upon entering this vast area, Mu Chen and his company slowed down . They were more cautious and vigilant now, wary of being ambushed by other forces .

A dark, depressing color tinted the great plains of the inner Meteorfall Battlefield . Horrifying cracks ran throughout the earth, some of them cutting entirely through the earth, as deep as abysses . Their dark depths seemed to be bottomless . These were the scars of the Primordial War .

Swoosh!

On the dark plains, a loud wind resonated . Countless figures enveloped the skies and the earth, carrying with them an intimidating presence . The heavens and the earth shook slightly as a result .

Mu Chen, who was leading the company, squinted his eyes, then checked his surroundings . He turned around toward Nine Nether and asked, "How much longer until we reach the rendezvous point?"

"At this pace, it should take us two more days," Nine Nether replied .

"Two days, is it?" Mu Chen mumbled quietly . Then he nodded and ordered, "Everyone, be on guard! Especially look out for the Netherworld Palace . "

Nine Nether was startled for a moment, then she nodded as well . They had received the same information recently . The Netherworld Palace seemed especially interested in their company . However, since they were far away, they hadn't posed a threat . But now, with the both being in the Meteorfall Battlefield, the Daluo Territory company had to raise their guard .

"The Netherworld Palace's activity has been overly frequent and intense recently . Moreover, it's strange that their targets were all commanders, who are gifted in fighting intent . " Mu Chen frowned . He felt that there was something fishy happening, as the Netherworld Palace seemed to be pinpointing certain individuals .

But, he could not figure out the reason behind the targeting of commanders, who are also talents in fighting intent . So, he put away the thought for the moment . With a wave of his hand, he continued leading the company onward .

"Hmm?!"

When Mu Chen was leaving, he, Lord Mountain Cracker, Nine Nether, and the others suddenly froze for a moment . Mu Chen waved his palm, causing the armies behind him to be on full alert as well .

They looked at the sky to their right, noticing a huge army approaching them . When the army saw Mu Chen and the rest, they were equally startled . They then slowed down their pace, evidently staying just as vigilant .

"They're from Demon's Gate . " With her sharp eyesight, Nine Nether noticed the unique patterns on the clothings of the other company .

"Oh?"

The hearts of Mu Chen and his company were slightly shaken . After all, the Demon's Gate was a top force in the North Territory . Their members were exceptionally strong and tyrannical . If a battle broke out, it would definitely be a shockingly huge one .

"Do not act first!" Mu Chen commanded . Frankly, he did not want to make Demon's Gate their enemy, especially seeing that the Daluo Territory had no grudge with them . Furthermore, the Daluo Territory was already on bad terms with the Divine Pavillion, the Netherworld Palace, and Xuan Tian Hall . Thus, adding another enemy onto that long list was obviously a foolish idea .

Sensing no hostility from the Daluo Territory, the people from Demon's Gate relaxed slightly . Suddenly, an elegant figure flew by, emerging before the company of the Daluo Territory .

The figure revealed herself, wearing a red dress that was wrapped around her seductive and enchanting curves . Her cheeks were as pink as cherry blossoms, which made her appearance even more charming . Mu Chan was not unfamiliar with this peerlessly gorgeous girl . She was Demon's Gate Snapper, who he had met previously in the Dragon-Phoenix Rift .

"May I know if Brother Mu Chen is here?" Snapper appeared before the people of Daluo Territory and asked with a gentle voice . Her voice caused tingles within hearts all over the place!

Mu Chen was surprised to find that Snapper was looking for him . Lord Mountain Cracker and the others had funny looks in their eyes, as they grinned teasingly .

Mu Chen looked at them helplessly, as he stepped forward . "I am here . It seems like Miss Snapper is leading a huge army from Demon's Gate to visit us . How can I help you?"

When Snapper saw Mu Chen, her eyes lit up a bit . She continued with a bitter smile, "This was just a coincidence, but I hope you can offer us some help . "

"Oh?" Mu Chen was startled .

"Two days ago, we bumped into the Netherworld Palace Army and fought with them," Snapper explained, a grave expression on her face .

Mu Chen's eyes were focused, as he listened intently . Due to the frequent activities by the Netherworld Palace lately, coupled with their obsession with him, Mu Chen had also been thinking about them .

"We at Demon's Gate also have a Genius of War . But, in the fight two days ago, he was defeated by Lin Min of the Netherworld Palace . . . " Snapper continued, as she clenched her teeth, "But for reasons unknown, he was rendered unconscious . We tried many ways to wake him, but to no avail . "

Mu Chen's eyelids twitched as he pondered this .

Could Lin Min be the Genius of War of the Netherworld Palace?

"Brother Mu Chen is also a Genius of War, and I have heard of your great feat at the Death Relics . I believe that you have successfully become a war troop dispatcher? This is why we hope that you can help us? We came to see if you could awaken him . " Snapper pleaded with a sincere tone .

Mu Chen did not reply directly, but smiled . "Miss Snapper, you should know that the Great Hunt is all about deception and taking advantage of others . If I really did help you to wake your Genius of War, wouldn't that be causing trouble with the Daluo Territory in the future?"

Snapper tilted her face upward, then said with a serious expression, "Having another friend is always better . We were ambushed by the Netherworld Palace, and we will be sure to pay them back . Also, according to what I know, the Netherworld Palace has always been searching for you . I believe that they have ill intentions . So, at the very least, we have a common enemy . "

She continued, "Besides, Lin Min of the Netherworld Palace had specifically declared that he was targeting you! He also said that you do not know of his capabilities . So, you might at least be able to get some hints regarding his moves from observing our injured Genius of War, so that you can prepare yourself . Furthermore, with your prowess now, a mere Genius of War should pose no threat to you . "

Mu Chen's could not help but praise Snapper's intelligence in his heart, after hearing her logical words . Snapper was truly clever! What's more, her proposal was a win-win situation, which Mu Chen had no reason to reject .

Though Mu Chen knew that there were no absolute co-operations in the Great Hunt, improving their relationship with Demon's Gate would, at the very least, be beneficial to the Daluo Territory .

"Alright, please carry him here," Mu Chen said . He naturally wouldn't walk into the middle of a huge army by himself!

Snapper, knowing that it was impossible for Mu Chen to walk into her camp, waved her hands . Immediately, several figures flew out from the huge army behind her, hoisting a plank up above their heads . Upon the plank, a pale man lay, his eyes shut tight .

Mu Chen looked at the pale man, frowning a little . Behind him, Nine Nether, Lord Mountain Cracker, and the others came forward as well .

"What is it? There is nothing wrong with his spiritual energy," Lord Mountain Cracker asked in a low voice .

Mu Chen nodded . After a short hesitation, he extended his right middle and index fingers . He tapped the pale man on the center of his eyebrows . Immediately, Mu Chen's eyes tensed up, a piercing expression shooting out from them .

"Brother Mu Chen, what has happened to him?" Snapper asked hastily .

Mu Chen retracted his fingers slowly . With a solemn face, he spoke slowly, "His consciousness is gone . He will no longer be able to control a fighting spirit . "

When he said these words, his own heart was shaken as well . Lin Min of the Netherworld Palace had apparently used a strange and tyrannical method to destroy the man's consciousness, and in such a cruel manner!

As a war troop dispatcher, Mu Chen understood that this Genius of War from Demon's Gate had now been rendered completely useless . Lin Min seemed to be an extremely difficult fellow to deal with .
