Xiao Qingyun’s figure had completely dissipated as his voice reverberated into silence. Only the Meteorfall Alchemy pills suspended in the air surrounding the two proved his existence.

The Chief Disciple of the Fourth Hall Master of the Primordial Celestial Palace had completely vanished from the face of the earth, leaving no trace behind.

Mu Chen sighed as he looked at the place where Xiao Qingyun had disappeared. From some information revealed by the latter’s words, he could vaguely see how important a mammoth the Primordial Celestial Palace was in those ancient times. The seven Hall Masters were probably at the rank of Earthly Sovereign, and the Master of the Celestial Palace was most likely a true Heavenly Sovereign.

However, even such horrifyingly powerful characters had eventually fallen, proving that the invasion from the Extraterritorial Clan had been a terrible calamity.

Mu Chen could not imagine the magnitude of a war that could impact an entire plane of existence.

Seeing the atmosphere become increasingly somber, Nine Nether smiled and said, “Don’t dwell on it. Although the Extraterritorial Clan is formidable, we of the Great Thousand World are no pushovers, either. Our top elites and powerful Sovereigns have always been alert and have kept their guard up against them.”

Mu Chen nodded. With his current strength, thinking of them would cause undue worry.

“Let’s go. There are no longer any traces of Meteorfall gas in this Grade Three Relic.”

With a wave of her hand, Nine Nether gathered the Meteorfall Alchemy pills surrounding her as a gleeful smile appeared on her cold and beautiful face. “Together, we have obtained more than 300 Meteorfall Alchemy pills. This is far more than what is available in an ordinary Grade Three Relic.”

Mu Chen nodded. Generally speaking, the number of Meteorfall Alchemy pills that could be extracted from a Grade Three Relic should be around a hundred, but they were lucky enough this time to actually meet Xiao Qingyun, who had been invaded by evil energy. Thus, Xiao Qingyun’s body, which had not been destroyed, had been a Ninth Grade Sovereign before his death. Although the years passed, and his strength had also declined, the Meteorfall gas contained in him was obviously more complete than that of the other fallen powerful figures in this ruin.

Of course, compared to the Spirit Seeking Compass they had obtained, the few hundred Meteorfall Alchemy pills were not considered much of a surprise.

Mu Chen smiled as he tossed the dark compass in his hand. As long as they had this Spirit Seeking Compass, they would be able to seize the first chance in the next search amid the ruins, hence this was an artifact that would aid them greatly in the fight for Meteorfall Alchemy pills.

“Let’s go.”

The two surveyed the completely ruined relic and then no longer lingered. They moved out immediately, transforming into two streams of light that flashed out of the swamp.

Outside the swamp, the Nine Nether Troop was spread out like a black tide. Their eyes watched the surroundings vigilantly and guardedly, and their hands always firmly grasped their long spears. Their bodies were tense like cheetahs.

On a far off mountain, there were also soldiers from the Nine Nether Troop, apparently monitoring the area to prevent anyone from disturbing Mu Chen and Nine Nether from their extraction of the Meteorfall Alchemy pills.

Whoosh!

Two streams of light suddenly swept out of the swamp and appeared in mid-air above the Nine Nether Troop. The alert Nine Nether soldiers saw them, and their faces suddenly burst out with joy as they hurriedly bowed.

“Have there been any other forces approaching?” Mu Chen looked at Qiu Shan, who was originally the most powerful person in Nine Nether Troop. This year, with the help of a large number of resources provided by Nine Nether Palace, his strength had also been rapidly enhanced and had already reached the level of a Second Grade Sovereign. Now, he and three other powerful people had been promoted by Mu Chen to the four Captains of the Nine Nether Troop in order to train the soldiers.

Hearing his question, the massive Qiu Shan hurriedly clasped his fist and replied, “Commander, some forces have approached before, but we have blocked them all.”

Mu Chen nodded in satisfaction. Although he and Nine Nether were not present, the Nine Nether Troop now compared to when he first came to Nine Nether Palace was much stronger, and ordinary forces would not dare to trifle with them.

“Palace Master, Commander, which direction shall we go next?” Qiu Shan and the others looked towards Mu Chen, their eyes full of fighting spirit. This year, they had received a large number of training resources given to them by the Nine Nether Palace, so their strength increased very rapidly. They also understood the reason for training an army for thousands of days; it was so they could shine in one battle. Now, the time had come for them to reveal their power in the Great Hunting War.

They wanted to let Mu Chen and Nine Nether know that the massive cultivation resources were not wasted on them.

Mu Chen smiled, as the map Mandela gave them would have reached its limit here. If they had followed their original plan, they would have wandered around like headless flies and relied on luck to locate the other relics. Fortunately, they were now able to change that.

“It’s time to try this.” Mu Chen smiled as he took out the dark Spirit Seeking Compass and then channelled his spiritual energy into it. Immediately, complex spiritual symbols emerged on the surface of the compass. Light bloomed, an intricate spiritual energy light screen appeared on the surface of the compass, and beams of spiritual energy light in the form of rings of light emanated from it.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether stared at it nervously. This object had been hidden by Xiao Qingyun for thousands of years. Who knew whether it would still have any effect? If it had been damaged, then they would have rejoiced too soon.

Beside them, Qiu Shan and the others looked at each other as they were bewildered regarding what Mu Chen and Nine Nether were up to.
