The moment that Mu Chen’s body rushed into the massive dark gate, he could clearly feel the darkness fading away like a tide. On the other side of the gate, it was an entirely different world.

It was a world that was filled with dark red. The earth and the skies were dyed a tint of mahogany. The ground was punctured with countless holes and covered in menacing scars. It was clear that an extremely fierce battle had taken place here.

The very moment that Mu Chen entered the crimson world, his body immediately tensed. A purplish golden light shone on his shoulders, and his wounds quickly healed. Owing to his body being as strong as a divine beast, the degree of these injuries was obviously of no real threat to Mu Chen.

An immense amount of spiritual energy gathered around Mu Chen. He looked around cautiously. Then, just when he wanted to take a step forward, his face turned grave. He had noticed something shimmering in the space on his right. Immediately, a slender figure emerged from the distorted space.

The two faced each other. As their eyes locked, they were both startled for a moment. With shocked expressions on their faces, they both retreated a few steps.

“Mu Chen?!” The charming figure shouted in surprise, her elegant face painted with shock. It was apparent that seeing Mu Chen here had struck her like lightning.

“Oh, hello there, Miss Zhantai.” Overcoming his initial surprise, Mu Chen quickly calmed down. He looked at Zhantai Liuli with a half-hearted smile.

When she saw the smile on Mu Chen’s face, she forced a smile as well. Her eyes were shimmering, hiding the disbelief in her heart.

She clearly had not expected Mu Chen to emerge from the Spiritual Four Battle Array at the same time she did, arriving here after passing the test.

How could this Mu Chen could triumph over the Black Tortoise Battle Spirit, especially with only five rag-tag armies?

Thinking of this, Zhantai Liuli could not help but clench her fists and bite her lip.

“Oh, it seems like Miss Zhantai is surprised that I am here?” Looking at Zhantai Liuli, Mu Chen spoke with a faint smile.

Crossing his arms, he looked at Zhantai Liuli teasingly. Previously, Zhantai Liuli had obviously tricked everyone. If it weren’t for Mu Chen’s desperate attempt in forcibly amalgamating the powers of the five fighting spirits, he could not have possibly broken out from the array. If Zhantai Liuli was able to snatch the advantage, they would’ve given it to her for free!

“Lord Mu Chen is truly capable, as breaking through the Black Tortoise Battle Array is nothing short of a miracle!” Zhantai Liuli stepped two steps back, speaking with a forced smile.

Now, her Liuli Army had yet to arrive, and she had only recently attained the level of Grade Four Sovereign. To Mu Chen, who had defeated Fang Yi by his own strength, her power obviously did not pose any real threat.

Without her army, Zhantai Liuli did not have the means to oppose Mu Chen. She was not like Mu Chen, who not only had an astonishing talent in controlling fighting spirits, but who also possessed keen skills for spiritual energy cultivation.

“Miss Zhantai really does know how to take advantage of others,” Mu Chen said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Zhantai Liuli could only laugh bitterly. Finally, she stopped beating around the bush. “The Great Hunt is supposed to be full of deceit and competition. Moreover, we, the Divine Pavilion, are an enemy of the Daluo Territory!”

Zhantai Liuli’s frankness surprised Mu Chen slightly. He squinted his eyes.”So that means that you have no qualms about what I am going to do to you?”

“We are enemies. Even if you kill me here, there is nothing strange in that,” Zhantai Liuli said calmly.

“Oh, really?” Mu Chen’s eyes focused into a cold gaze, an indistinct killing intent surging within them. Zhantai Liuli could be considered as a dangerous threat, at least once she regained control of the Liuli Army. In that case, Mu Chen, even with the strength of the five armies, would have great difficulty in dealing with her.

Zhantai Liuli’s eyes dropped slightly. She spoke with a calm tone. “But, instead of your killing me, the inheritance of the Sky Array Emperor should be the thing that you want the most. I am more familiar with the situation here. Thus, if you are willing to team up with me, your chances of obtaining the inheritance may be higher.”

“Cooperation? Now you want me to trust you? Moreover, if I kill you, wouldn’t there be no one else for me to have to compete with for the inheritance?” Mu Chen jeered.
