Chapter 707 - Battle Formation Master
"Haha, indeed worthy of being the Nine Nether King, truly admirable!"
Hearing that Nine Nether had actually agreed to the bet, the Blood Hawk King couldn't hold back his laughter and his scarlet pupils were surging with an eerie and sly light.
"Since that's the case, then I will not pursue the matter of you guys causing havoc here. Three days from now, my Blood Hawk Hall will wait in the Military Battlefield."
As he had already achieved his motive, the Blood Hawk King no longer continued with any superfluous words. He waved his hand and a great light swept out, enveloping the Blood Hawk Troop, which turned into a bloody light, and flew into the Teleportation Spiritual Array in the city. With a surging light, they completely disappeared.
When the Sleeping Emperor saw this scene in the sky, he let out a helpless smile. As one of the three Emperors, he had no rights to stop a bet that both parties had come to an agreement on. At this moment, he only cast a glance at Nine Nether and Mu Chen, before his figure faded away.
Nine Nether landed beside Mu Chen and said, "It has been tough on you, we will discuss this matter more back in the Nine Nether Palace."
Mu Chen nodded his head, he did not make any stops as he led the Nine Nether Troop flying out, disappearing in the Teleportation Spiritual Array in the end.
With the two troops leaving, the silent city turned into a bursting uproar.
"Things are interesting now. The Blood Hawk Troop and Nine Nether Troop are going to fight with everything they have."
"The Blood Hawk King was clearly trying to provoke the Nine Nether Palace. Whether it was quality or quantity, the Blood Hawk Troop is far superior in comparison to the Nine Nether Troop. The moment such a large-scale battle breaks out, it will be tough for the Nine Nether Troop to fight them."
"Even half of the Blood Hawk Troop was enough to suppress the Nine Nether Troop that only numbers a thousand."
"Since the Nine Nether Troop accepted the challenge, they must have some hidden trump cards..."
"Who knows..."
...
In the hall of the Nine Nether Palace, Nine Nether sat on the front seat with her brows lightly knitted together. The atmosphere in the hall was clearly a little heavy.
"Looks like the Blood Hawk King has decided to settle things with us once and for all." Nine Nether slowly said. The Blood Hawk King's eyes were vicious. He knew that the Nine Nether Palace's foundation right now was weak, they needed to quickly control those cities to obtain a sufficient amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. And so, he resorted to a bet that had a heavy profit that they could not decline.
To their Nine Nether Palace, it was an opportunity and also a dangerous trap.
"The quantity of the Blood Hawk Troop far exceeds our Nine Nether Troop. There isn't any advantage in such a confrontation for our Nine Nether Troop." Tang Bing said, worried.
In the hall, Qiu Shan and the rest remained silent as well. They directed their gazes to Mu Chen, who had not spoken a single word. Today, Mu Chen's performance had already won their trust.
"How many people are there in the Blood Hawk Troop?" Under their gazes, Mu Chen finally spoke out.
"Over 5, 000, but with Wu Tian's capabilities, he could only control half of it, at most. If he tries to control more than that, he would definitely suffer the counter of Battle Will. But just that half alone has already exceeded our Nine Nether Troop." Qiu Shan responded.
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. The Blood Hawk Troop wasn't a mob. They had the advantage in quantity, there's also the fact that Wu Tian wasn't someone easy to deal with, so this bet was indeed not an easy one.
"Mu Chen, how confident are you in this bet?" Tang Bing couldn't help asking as this matter was too crucial to the Nine Nether Palace. If they won, the Nine Nether Palace would be able to turn over a hundred cities, which could let the Nine Nether Palace's wealth to swiftly build up. But if they lost, the consequences would be similarly fatal.
The Nine Nether Palace and Blood Hawk Hall had an equal position in the Great Havenlaw Domain. If the Nine Nether Palace was to submit, they would lose all their positions. It was a disastrous impact to the morale of the Nine Nether Palace.
Mu Chen slowly said, "If Wu Tian can only control half of the Blood Hawk Hall, it's not like we necessarily don't have any chance of winning. Also, it won't be an easy task for them to defeat us as well."
His voice was deep, boiling with a bloodlust that made everyone in the hall shiver. Looks like this battle will definitely be a bloody one.
It concerned whether the Nine Nether Palace would continue to exist or perish.
Everyone in the hall became silent.
Crack!
In the silent hall, there was suddenly a faint clear resounding noise. Everyone raised their heads and saw a little girl donned in a black dress sitting beside Mu Chen, her hand holding onto a fruit that she was eating.
She was naturally Mandala, who would unpredictably appear and disappear.
"Who is she?!" Tang Bing and the rest couldn't help widening their eyes. This was the vital place of the Nine Nether Palace, with the Nine Nether Troop heavily guarding the outside. So how did this girl suddenly appear here?
"*Cough*... There's no need for panic. She... is my younger sister." Mu Chen helplessly sighed.
Hearing his words, Mandala lifted her brows as she bit on the fruit with her mouth. She did not refute his words and only lazily said, "I can help you come up with a solution, but I have a condition for it."
Mu Chen was stunned."What condition?"
Mandala's doll-like face revealed a sweet smile that was extremely pure and cute. So much so that Tang Bing had lowered the alertness that she initially had in her gaze.
"Don't panic, my condition is very simple. You only need to lend me the Immortal Page for ten days." Mandala sweetly smiled.
"No!" Mu Chen rejected in a near instant. The Immortal Page was too important to him, it was utterly impossible for him to take it out of his body and hand it over to someone else. After all, the Immortal Page was linked to the Primordial Immortal Body, so Mu Chen didn't doubt the temptation that it had. This item was something that even Earthly Sovereign experts would be moved to get ahold of.
"You!" Mandala widened her eyes as she ferociously stared at Mu Chen. However, Mu Chen made no yield, his expression was firm. She only glared at him for a brief moment, before Mandala turned her head over, huffing in anger.
"Why did you want to suddenly borrow the Immortal Page?" Mu Chen asked, puzzled. According to what Mandala said before, she only needed to stay by his side, and she could absorb the energy of the Mandala Flower divine runes to suppress the curse in her body.
Mandala hesitated for a brief moment, before she answered, "The curse in my body is showing signs of bursting out, so I require the Immortal Page to suppress it for me."
Mu Chen frowned his brows and hesitated for a brief moment."Then take me along, I will stay by your side. It won't hinder you, right?"
Mandala was stunned as she cast an astonished glance at Mu Chen. Evidently, she never expected the latter to agree to her condition. She gently nodded her head shortly after."Then... then I will say my thanks first."
Mu Chen smiled."Can you tell us your solution now?"
Mandala raised her head as her golden pupils swept a glance at everyone in the hall. Anyone that was swept by her golden pupils felt a tremble in their hearts, as if they felt a terrifying oppressive force and immediately shifted their gazes.
"As a Spiritual Array Master, have you heard of the Battle Formation Master before?" Mandala's young voice resounded.
"Battle Formation Master?" With Mu Chen included, everyone in the hall was blankly at a loss from her words, only Nine Nether had a smear of pondering flash across her eyes.
"In ancient times, the Battle Formation Master could be considered as a branch of the Spiritual Array Master. In the Great Tribulation of the Great Thousand World, Battle Formation Masters were also the most dazzling. They led an army of myriads of clans and stood at the forefront of the battle against the foreign clan. However, that was also the reason that they suffered a great loss, even some inheritances were destroyed. When the Great Tribulation ended, the number of Battle Formation Masters were also few in numbers. Right now, no one knows if there's any Battle Formation Master still in existence..." Mandala said unhurriedly.
"A Battle Formation Master is able to gather the strength of an army, unleashing the extreme boundary of the power. If a Pinnacle Battle Formation Master controlled an army that was powerful enough, he or she could even confront a Heavenly Sovereign."
The hall remained in silence as the breathing of everyone increased. Confronting Heavenly Sovereigns? That sort of fearsome existence was something that could be faced with quantity? How was that possible?!
Mu Chen also couldn't help licking his lips as he felt his throat get a little dry. But his eyes were blazing at this moment, while fixing his eyes at Mandala."Then, do you know how to become a Battle Formation Master?"
"Nope." Mandala lightly smiled.
Seeing her sweet smile, Mu Chen's expression directly froze as he grounded his teeth shortly after."Are you messing around with me?!"
If he didn't know that the girl before him was not only looking cute but possessing a terrifying strength that could leave others in horror, he might have lost control and threw her out.
"Although I do not know how to become a Battle Formation Master, this item should be of some help to you." Seeing smoke rising out from Mu Chen's head from anger, Mandala slowly stretched her hand out. Light flashed on her hand as a somewhat broken bamboo scroll appeared in her hand. The bamboo had traces of blood on it. Before it was even opened up, there was an aura of iron and blood blowing over.
Mu Chen carefully received the bamboo scroll and could see the tiny red words vaguely appearing on the bamboo.
"Heart of Battle Formations."
"The Battle Formation Master is, after all, a branch of a Spiritual Array Master. Also, you have the foundation of a Spiritual Array Master, so it will be easier for you to enter the foothold of it compared to others. Although it cannot let you become a Battle Formation Master right away, it shouldn't be hard to defeat the Blood Hawk Troop with lesser numbers." Mandala said.
Mu Chen tightly held onto the scroll of damaged bamboo as he heavily nodded his head. There were too many profundities hidden in the Great Thousand World, the so-called "Battle Formation Master" was something that he had not heard about before in the past.
Looks like he would have to spend this time to comprehend the so-called "Heart of Battle Formation". This bet was too crucial for the Nine Nether Palace, and he couldn't afford to lose!
This time, he must obtain victory!
