Chapter 542 (2/2)

Wang Zhong’s words were rather vicious. After all, the demands exceeded the supply. With Mu Chen’s group of three gathered together, their strength was rather powerful and not a single side could gain any advantage if they were to act. Therefore, he was trying to isolate Mu Chen’s group.

An uproar resounded in the entire plaza. Some people were unresigned as they couldn’t help directing their gazes over to Mu Chen’s group as fear and greed flickered in their eyes at the same time.

“Haha, Brother Wang Zhong is right. Mu Chen, a person cannot be too greedy, incase you’ll die from bursting.” Mo Yu coldly smiled at this instant as well. He had already originally hated Mu Chen. Adding on to Mu Chen’s group of three seizing the three Quasi-Divine Artifacts, he would naturally hit him when he’s down.

“Mu Chen, looks like you have quite a bit of enemies here.” Xue Tiandou smiled as he looked at the scene before him in rumination.

Mu Chen had no expression on his face, whereas Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan’s faces turned a little cold. The two girls flew to Mu Chen’s side as they swept their cold gazes.

“Friend, from the looks of it, it seems like you have some grudges with Mu Chen’s group. Why don’t we join hands for once?” Wang Zhong’s heart trembled when he saw Wen Qingxuan’s cold gaze. He had too much fear for the latter and, therefore, he shifted his gaze and looked at Xue Tiandou. That person’s strength could not be underestimated, since he had already reached First Grade Spirit Disaster, judging from his battle with Mu Chen earlier.

“Haha, I’m rather interested in this. You can leave Mu Chen to me to deal with.” Xue Tiandou lightly smiled as he nodded his head. Wang Zhong’s suggestion was what he had in mind. After all, he knew that it was difficult for him to deal with Mu Chen’s group of three all by himself.

Wang Zhong rejoiced at Xue Tiandou’s reply. He knew how hard Mu Chen was to deal with. The latter had defeated a First Grade Spirit Disaster when he was in the Spiritual Treasure Mountain. Therefore, it was great news to him that Xue Tiandou was willing to deal with Mu Chen.

“Haha, are the friends of Martial Spiritual Academy and the Four Sea Spiritual Academies interested to join in? I believe that the temptation of Quasi-Divine Artifacts is sufficient, right?”

After pulling Xue Tiandou to their camp, Wang Zhong looked at Wu Yingying, as well as the Four Sea Spiritual Academies. From the looks of it, he was obviously trying to pull people to deal with Mu Chen and his group together.

When Wu Yingying and the four Captains of the Four Sea Spiritual Academies heard his words, their faces changed a little that could not be noticed.

Wu Yingying looked towards Mu Chen. The latter did not have any expression, but the lightning that was flickering on the surface of his body revealed the rage and killing intent in his heart.

“You have already pulled two parties to your camp. If you were to pull us along to snatch for the three Quasi-Divine Artifact, how are we going to split amongst us? Are we going to fight another round?” Wu Yingying said indifferently.

Wang Zhong’s face changed at her words because Wu Yingying’s words were too sharp to the point that he didn’t know how to refute. After all, there were only three Quasi-Divine Artifacts and with Wang Zhong’s character, it was impossible for him to return empty-handed. Therefore, there would still be a round of intense battles for the distribution of Quasi-Divine Artifacts after dealing with Mu Chen.

The four Captains of the Four Sea Spiritual Academies exchanged looks as they shook their heads in the end, “Captain Wang Zhong, I apologize. We of the Four Sea Spiritual Academies have no intention to join. Although Quasi-Divine Artifacts are rare, since we have no fate to them, we will not force them.”

They rejected Wang Zhong’s invitation as they saw that be it Mu Chen’s group or Wang Zhong’s group, none of them were easy to deal with. Although they had some strength, there wasn’t any benefits in them partaking in the battle. Therefore, just as Wu Yingying had said, even after dealing with Mu Chen’s group, it might not guarantee that they would get the Quasi-Divine Artifacts. Who knows if all their efforts would be for naught and benefitted others instead?

Wang Zhong’s expression was a little ugly as he couldn’t help ruthlessly glancing at Wu Yingying. It was because the latter had picked such a point that caused the other party to withdraw their stirring hearts.

Wu Yingying paid no attention to him as she folded her arms. An arc appeared on her squashed chest as she coldly swept a glance at Mu Chen and snorted, “If you guys want to fight, feel free to fight. When you guys are tired from fighting, I will naturally act.”

Mu Chen smiled as he gave a grateful gaze towards Wu Yingying. He knew that her words earlier had dispelled the thoughts for many people.

However, Wu Yingying’s face was still cold as she paid no attention to his grateful gaze.

Wang Zhong’s face was ashened as he coldly smiled, “It will still be enough without you guys.”

As he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve as a ray of light flickered. A huge statue appeared on the plaza. It was a Divine Wood Guard. Furthermore, from the ripples emitted from that Divine Wood Guard, its power did’t seem to be any weaker compared to the one in Mu Chen’s possession.

Mo Yu chuckled at the sight of it as he flicked his hand and another similar statue appeared.

“Since everyone has summoned this thing, then I’ll not stay my hands as well.” Xue Tiandou lazily smiled as he summoned another identical Divine Wood Guard with a movement of his hand.

The entire plaza was a little quiet as everyone directed their astonished gazes towards the three Divine Wood Guard. Who could have expected that Wang Zhong’s party would suddenly summon three First Grade Spirit Disaster puppets?

Mu Chen looked at the three puppets as he focused his gaze. Seems like every single team that had obtained the Divine Wood Plaque had also obtained a Divine Wood Guard.

Furthermore, from the formation, three of these Divine Wood Guards would represent three First Grade Spirit Disaster puppets. By adding Xue Tiandou, Wang Zhong and Mo Yu’s party, this formation was rather troublesome to them.

Seems like things have started to become thorny.
