“Mu Chen, lay down your terms for releasing our troops!”

When Mu Chen heard Zhantai Liuli’s cold voice, he could not help smiling. He had seen her earlier expressions. Mu Chen had seen how grateful Lord Heavenly Alligator and the rest were toward Zhantai Liuli. However, instead of feeling disgusted, he was filled with admiration for her. Zhantai Liuli was sharp and able to turn the situation to her advantage.

It would be best not to have her as an enemy.

Although Mu Chen was full of praise for Zhantai Liuli, he could not show it. Otherwise, it would cause Lord Heavenly Alligator and the rest to become suspicious of her.

Mu Chen smiled and said, “I can consider releasing your troops, but you have to show your sincerity.” He looked open to a discussion.

Nine Nether, Lord Mountain Cracker, and the other lords had gotten out of the battlefield and had joined Mu Chen. They looked at the troops that Mu Chen had captured and were stunned. It was rare to see troops being held as hostages.

“What do you mean?” Zhantai Liuli raised her brows and asked in a cold voice.

“Fifty thousand Meteorfall Alchemy for one troop. There are three troops in my hands, so if you are willing to pay a ransom of 150,000 Meteorfall Alchemy, I will let them go,” Mu Chen said with a smile.

When the top powers heard what Mu Chen said, they were shocked. The top powers in the Divine Pavilion gritted their teeth and were furious that Mu Chen had such exorbitant demands.

When Liu Yan saw how the Divine Pavilion was being blackmailed by Mu Chen, he felt happy. When one was out of luck, he would be happy to see another person in a worse situation.

Fang Yi could no longer control himself and shouted, “Mu Chen, dream on. Are you able to swallow such a large amount?”

Lord Heavenly Alligator and the rest turned pale. They looked sharply at Mu Chen and were furious.

“In that case, let’s call off the deal.”

Mu Chen suddenly looked cold. He clenched his fists, and the Fighting Spirit Light Shield that had covered up the three troops from the Divine Pavilion dropped down. It looked like a mountain coming down hard on the three troops, ready to smash them to pieces.

Although the three troops struggled to resist, there was no commander to coordinate the fighting spirit. The troops could not do much but watch the Fighting Spirit Light Shield fall down on them. Many warriors started to turn pale at the strong suppression.

When Lord Heavenly Alligator and the rest saw it, they turned pale. They were enraged. They had spent many resources to build up the three troops. If all the troops were destroyed, they would lose their power.

“Stop it!” Zhantai Liuli shouted. She stopped Mu Chen and looked at Lord Heavenly Alligator and the rest and said, “I believe you have come to a decision. If you want to fight on, I can help you.”

Lord Heavenly Alligator and the rest looked unsettled. Mu Chen had control over the troops. Their troops would be seriously injured if they were suppressed by the fighting spirit. Lord Heavenly Alligator and the rest would not be able to come to their rescue in time if this happened.

Lord Flaming Wolf gritted his teeth and said, “Why don’t we just pay the ransom to redeem our troops? If we lose Meteorfall Alchemy, we can search around again. However, if we lose our troops, our efforts throughout the years will have been wasted.”

Lord Heavenly Alligator and Lord Celestial Bear clenched their fists tightly and were fuming with anger. Finally, they let out a sigh. Although they were brutal, they would not leave their troops to die. After all, they had spent a great amount of resources and efforts in building them up.

“No! You can’t!” Fang Yi shouted angrily. “We only have a total of 70,000 Meteorfall Alchemy. If we give them all away, whatever we have done will be for nothing! How are we to answer to the Pavilion Master?”

“If not for you, our troops would not have fallen into his hands. If anyone should answer to the Pavilion Master, it should be you!” Lord Heavenly Alligator said unhappily.

When Fang Yi heard that, he turned pale.

Zhantai Liuli looked at them, and then turned to look at Mu Chen and said, “Mu Chen, we do not have 150,000 Meteorfall Alchemy. We will pay 20,000 for a troop. We will give you a total of 60,000 Meteorfall Alchemy. If you accept it, release our men. If not, we will fight. Let’s see if you are able to defeat us!”

“Sixty thousand Meteorfall Alchemy?”
