Four hundred thousand Meteorfall Alchemy pills?!
The moment they heard this enormous amount, even Lin Ming’s expression stiffened abruptly. Behind him, Lord Heavenly Evil looked gloomy, apparently shocked by the number.
Four hundred thousand Meteorfall Alchemy pills were enough to render their effort in these months on the Meteorfall Battlefield for naught, and if they really lost this amount of Meteorfall Alchemy pills, they could forget about unlocking the Earthly Sovereign Secret Treasure.
Nobody expected that Mu Chen’s supposed bigger gamble would be to this extent. This was akin to forcing people into a dead end!
Amid the crowd, all the forces stared at the youth who had a calm expression but a cold glint surging in his eyes. They could not help but feel a tinge of fear.
Netherworld Palace had originally intended to dig a hole to bury Daluo Territory. All their plans had been thought of meticulously, but they had not expected that Mu Chen would be so insane as to drag Netherworld Palace, who had set the trap, down with them.
With this, Netherworld Palace would now be dragged into the trap, and if they declined Mu Chen’s bet, they would inevitably become a laughing stock. They would have been played when they were the ones who intended to play Daluo Territory. This would utterly tarnish Netherworld Palace’s reputation, and in this North Territory, the top forces cared most about reputation because it was necessary to recruit groups of heroes. Once you had a bad reputation, it would be difficult to garner talents.
“Mu Chen, have you gone insane?” Lin Ming gnashed his teeth. Though he was confident that he would not be weaker than Mu Chen, 400,000 Meteorfall Alchemy pills would be gambling everything Netherworld Palace had. If things did not go their way, the Netherworld Palace Master would end him.
Mu Chen looked down, his calm voice mocking. “Why? Didn’t Netherworld Palace want to play before? Now let’s take a greater gamble. Don’t you have the courage to play the game now?”
Lin Ming’s face was steely with rage, and his eyes were twinkling wildly, staring at Mu Chen as if wanting to devour him whole.
The various top powers, such as the Divine Pavilion and Holy Mountain, were also somewhat surprised to see this development, especially when they saw Mu Chen’s calm gaze. Their hearts jolted. This kid was young but his brutal decisiveness was not at all inferior to some of the sly and crafty elder generation.
Facing Mu Chen’s madness, even these top powers could not help but feel fearful. They were relieved they weren’t the target, otherwise, the 400,000 Meteorfall Alchemy pills were enough to frighten any of the top forces.
“If you dare not fight, let him go and scram.” Mu Chen looked at the higher echelon of Netherworld Palace and said with a sneer, “So Netherworld Palace is just a bunch of incompetent people.”
Speaking calmly, he looked at Lin Ming again. “You are delusional if you think you can ascend to high places in one move, but it is also necessary to have that qualification, otherwise, you are just asking to humiliate yourself!”
Lin Ming’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He stared at Mu Chen, and then the corner of his mouth slowly curved into a grim smile. He said eerily, “Mu Chen, it seems you are hell bent on asking for death!
“In that case, I will fulfill your wish today!”
Lin Ming took an abrupt step forward, his aura full of harsh murderous intent.
Many high-ranking officials’ faces in Netherworld Palace could not help but twist in apprehension when they saw that Lin Ming had actually agreed to Mu Chen’s challenge. Although Lin Ming was unstoppable and had not suffered defeat during this period, this was an immensely serious matter, and if there was any mistake, none of them could afford that responsibility!
Lord Heavenly Evil and the Prince of Netherworld’s eyes were twinkling. They were naturally enraged by Mu Chen, and they knew that he had forced them into a humiliating situation.
They had started the situation first, but now facing Daluo Territory’s counterattack, if they were daunted and the news spread, Netherworld Palace would become a laughing stock.
By then, their Palace Master would still be enraged, and if he pursued the matter, they would be held accountable. So either way, their only way out was to accept the challenge.
Moreover, Daluo Territory was also facing a great risk in this battle. If Mu Chen lost, Daluo Territory would be completely destroyed. In this Great Hunting War, they would return empty-handed and by then, the entire Daluo Territory would face the danger of being exterminated.
In this battle, although the risk was insanely high, the harvest was also incredibly attractive and tempting.
The only thing they needed to consider was who had a higher chance of victory between Mu Chen and Lin Ming.
The Prince of Netherworld and Lord Heavenly Evil looked at each other and transmitted messages to each other secretly.
“Although Mu Chen defeated Xiao Tian in the Death Relic, Xiao Tian was not a war troop dispatcher at all, thus there is no room for comparison.”
“As for Zhantai Liuli, she had not become a war troop dispatcher yet, which was why Mu Chen could still take advantage of that. With Lin Ming now, even Zhantai Liuli is not confident that she could gain an edge over him in a battle.”
“Furthermore, the inheritance that Lin Ming acquired belonged to an extremely powerful being who had a terrifyingly brutal reputation in the primordial generation.”
Finally, their gazes suddenly turned fierce. After considering so many factors, the probability of Lin Ming winning was definitely higher than that of Mu Chen!
This Mu Chen thought that just because he had gained a small victory in the Dragon-Phoenix Rift, he could underestimate the various heroes. Now, they must let him understand there would always be someone better than he is!
With a plan in mind, Lord Heavenly Evil and the Prince of Netherworld did not comment further, and when the rest of the Sovereigns in Netherworld Palace saw that they had not opposed the bet, the commotion gradually subsided. Anyway, even if they failed, at least Lord Heavenly Evil and the Prince of Netherworld were there in front of them as support.
Moreover, in their hearts, they shared the same sentiment as Lord Heavenly Evil. If Lin Ming could really defeat Mu Chen, then Daluo Territory would be dealt a seriously damaging blow, and that was bound to be a great contribution. The Palace Master would be extremely pleased and would reward them with a variety of rare mythical Divine Arts, artifacts, and a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, Spiritual Pills, and so on.
They would take the gamble!
