Chapter 56: A Vicious Scheme

Pop.

Within the Black Poison Marsh, huge black poison bubbles rise up and burst apart. A smelly stench of poison gas rises up and further adds onto the deathly miasma enshrouding the air.

At this moment, above the Black Poison Marsh without many living creatures, a small boat wrapped with Black Poison Crocodile’s skin was being paddled over cautiously.

Everybody on the boat was extremely tensed up. They did not dare to make the slightest sounds as their eyes remained fixed on the swamp. Moreover, the Spiritual Energy within their bodies quietly surged.

This group of men was the Mu Territory’s men who naturally used Mu Chen’s method to pass through the Black Poison Marsh. Although Mu Chen’s confidence gave Duan Wei and the others a little bit of confidence, they were still in a dangerous location. The feeling of how the slightest mistake would make the boat to capsize and turning them into the swamp’s mud did not make them feel good.

Compared to them being tensed, Mu Chen’s face was a lot calmer. However, his eyes still remained fixed at his surroundings. This tiny boat contains many experts of the Mu Territory. It they were to have any loss here, it would be a severe blow for the Mu Territory.

Mu Feng stood beside Mu Chen and had a seemingly calm face. However, it still carried a sense of seriousness. His entire body was tense and he would immediately act if he noticed that the situation was off.

As everybody on board was tensed up, the small boat gradually entered the depths. A little bit of movement appeared in the swamp and the swamp filled with poison gas shook. Then, numerous hideous Black Poison Crocodiles’ heads emerged in the swamp and slowly swam towards the boat.

Everybody on board had their eyes twitch when they saw this. Their heartbeat also accelerated.

Amongst the silent boat, dozens of Black Poison Crocodile were around the boat’s surroundings. The pair of scarlet eyes brutally scanned across the black mud.

Everybody immediately became alert.

Under Mu Chen’s control, the boat continued to maintain a slow and steady pace as it quietly crossed the swamp. Instead, Mu Feng and the others were able to feel relieved as the Black Poison Crocodiles did not attack them. From their scarlet eyes, they were able to see some sort of confusion in them.

It was evident that the Black Poison Crocodile, who weren’t highly intelligent, could vaguely sense that something was wrong, yet they were not able to figure out the reason of it.

The small boat eventually passed through the Black Poison Crocodile’s encirclement smoothly. However, everybody on board still did not dare to breathe. Only after half an hour later, when they finally saw the edge of the swamp, they finally spat out the foul smell that had been within their hearts.

“Heh, we really crossed over. The Little Lord is really amazing!”

The atmosphere on the boat suddenly relaxed. Duan Wei and the others had a happy expression and could not help but praise Mu Chen.

“Dad, how is this? I didn’t disgrace you, right?” Mu Chen secretly let out a sigh of relief and clapped his hands as he directed a smile at Mu Feng.

“You damn brat.”

Mu Feng scoffed at him. However, he could not hide the pleasure within his eyes. This boy had finally grown up and was able to help him share the burden. At least it wasn’t in vain for him to separate his father and mother over all these years.

“Little Mu really isn’t the same now.” Zhou Ye also let out an emotional sigh. Ever since Mu Chen came back from the Spiritual Road, he had changed too much. If he was an understanding boy with talent before, now, he was someone who could take up some of the responsibilities.

Mu Feng nodded his head slightly. His hand rubbed Mu Chen’s head and moved. He directly landed on the edge of the swamp and said: “We should also hurry; otherwise, we’ll be too far behind the Liu Territory.”

“Yes!”

Duan Wei and the others all replied and came onto the shore one after another. After slightly reorganizing themselves, they kept alert and accelerated as they headed towards the depths of the Black Eerie Swamp.

The instant that Mu Feng and the others passed through the Black Poison Marsh and headed to the depths of the Black Eerie Swamp, a cold gaze looked down from above at them from a mountain cliff far away.

“These guys, they actually made it through the Black Poison Marsh safely! How is that possible?!” Liu Ming stared at the figures at the distant and immediately turned pale.

“It seems that the Mu Territory came prepared.” Liu Zong frowned. He originally planned on taking them easily after the Mu Territory’s men were thoroughly exhausted through their trip across the Black Poison Marsh. However, he never expected them to have passed through without any efforts.

A cold chill flashed through Liu Qingtian’s eyes. The more prepared the Mu Territory was, the greater the obstacle it was for them. These guys must be eliminated and the Nine Nether Bird must belong to the Liu Territory. As long as they have the Nine Nether Bird, the Liu Territory will become the overlord of the Northern Spiritual Realm. And he, Liu Qingtian, will not be a Territory Lord anymore, but instead the Lord of the Northern Spiritual Realm.

This raging ambition was burning within Liu Qingtian’s eyes.

“Big Brother, what should we do now?” Liu Ming asked. Based on this scene, the Mu Territory’s men would soon catch up to them.

“There’s no need to be impatient.” Liu Qingtian said with a smile: “How much time have we used to prepare for this plan? We had surveyed the Black Eerie Swamp since a long time ago. The Mu Territory still wants to fight against us recklessly without any preparations?”

Saying this, he stared at the depths of the Black Eerie Swamp again and a cold chill surged through his eyes again.

“Let’s go. At that place, I’ll prepare a big gift to welcome them.”

…

Because they were gradually entering the depths of the Black Eerie Swamp, Mu Feng and the others were getting more and more careful. In the depths of the Black Eerie Swamp, there were genuine traces of High Rank Spiritual Beasts. If they were targeted by these vicious individuals, it would be particularly troublesome. After all, Mu Feng and the others would still have to be careful about the Liu Territory’s men at all times.
