After the great battle between Lin Min and Mu Chen, the Skeleton Mountain was left in complete disarray. There were large cracks on the mountain, and many of the neary smaller mountains had collapsed due to the fierce fight. These repercussions showed how aggressive the fight had been. Fortunately, the great battle had now come to an end.

Everyone knew that this was the beginning of something even more terrible. In fact, all of these horrible things came about because of the bet. After all, 400,000 Meteorfall Alchemy was an enormous amount that no top force would be able to bear.

After Mu Chen and his troops had fought for so many months, the total number of Meteorfall Alchemy units that they had gathered was nearly enough. However, should this amount of Meteorfall Alchemy have to been given away, they would have to forget about opening the secret treasures of the Earthly Sovereign. It would be wiser for them to return to their palace right away.

This plan of retreat applied not only to the Daluo Territory, but to Netherworld Palace as well. When the top powers from Netherworld Palace saw that Lin Min had been captured by Mu Chen, and realized that the other forces were looking at them, they turned ghastly pale.

“It is his fault!” The top powers from Netherworld Palace gritted their teeth and looked at Mu Chen. Mu Chen was the one to blame for the situation that they were in. If it hadn’t been for him, the Daluo Territory would be the ones caught in a tight spot!

“Netherworld Palace is a top force in the North Territory. Surely you wouldn’t disgrace yourself by going back on your word in front of so many people, would you?” Mu Chen smiled and said.

“Shut up!”

Lord Heavenly Evil looked harshly at Mu Chen. He was furious. He knew that Mu Chen was out to destroy Netherworld Palace.

“Lord Heavenly Evil, you are a top power in the North Territory. You should behave gracefully, even though you have lost. Of course, if you wish to take back your words, we will go along with it,” Lord Asura said coldly.

Lord Heavenly Evil gritted his teeth and contemplated his next move. The top powers from Netherworld Palace dared not say a word. All of the forces looked at Netherworld Palace, waiting to see how they were going to fix this terrible mess.

There was dead silence for some time. Lord Heavenly Evil finally let out a sigh. When the top powers saw his expression, they were shocked. Judging from his demeanor, Netherworld Palace seemed to be handing over the Meteorfall Alchemy!

Just as Lord Heavenly Evil was about to speak, an elderly voice snorted in the void. It sounded like thunder and it echoed throughout the area.

The area then quaked. The top powers from the forces looked shocked. They had noticed a strong oppression, which had pierced through the space and covered the area.

Space warps were formed above Netherworld Palace. Following that, an elderly figure walked out slowly.

The elder had a hunchback and was robed in black. He had grey hair, and his murky eyes were flickering. They seemed to pierce through the entire space. The elder held a bone staff and stood in the air. The oppression that the top powers had just felt had obviously come from him.

“Netherworld Elder!” When Lord Heavenly Evil and the top powers of Netherworld Palace saw the elder, they were elated.

“It is Netherworld Flame Elder. He is one of the three elders of Netherworld Palace!” Lord Asura and the rest of the lords turned pale. They had not expected to see him at such a crucial moment!

“Netherworld Flame Elder?” Mu Chen was shocked and started to frown. The three elders of Netherworld Palace were equally famous, known as the three kings of the Daluo Territory. However, the top powers should be at the Meteorfall Battlefield, so they wondered why one of the was here.

“Be careful. Netherworld Flame Elder is a Grade Eight Sovereign. He is extremely powerful,” Lord Asura warned, starting to tense up.

He looked warily at Netherworld Flame Elder, then stepped in front of Mu Chen to protect him. He was afraid that Netherworld Flame Elder would attack Mu Chen.

“Grade Eight Sovereign?” Mu Chen was shocked. This was basically the highest level! Given Mu Chen’s limited strength and power, it would be impossible for him to contend with Netherworld Flame Elder.

The other forces looked at Netherworld Flame Elder in shock. Generally speaking, masters who were at this level would not appear at this time. This naturally made them wonder why he had appeared.

“Greetings, Netherworld Elder!”

When the top powers of Netherworld Palace saw him, they saluted him.

“Ha, you’re just a bunch of useless guys. If you hand over the Meteorfall Alchemy, how are you going to answer to Palace Master?”

“Netherworld Elder, this…” Lord Heavenly Evil smiled wryly. They were confident that Lin Min would win, but they had not expected that Mu Chen would be more ruthless than him. As Lin Min was no match for Mu Chen, the whole situation had turned around dramatically.

“Let me handle this,” Netherworld Flame Elder said in a grave voice. When Lord Heavenly Evil heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. He had been wanting to wash his hands off this mess for a long time.

Having said that, Netherworld Flame Elder looked sharply at Mu Chen, Lord Asura, and the rest of the lords. He sneered and said, “You are too much. How dare you have designs on Netherworld Palace?”
