The current of death-gas carrying the countless grayish-white figures from the forest brushed past and went roaring into the distance. Without any spiritual intelligence, they were totally unable to even wonder why their targets had suddenly vanished without a trace.

Somewhere behind the chaos, Han Shan and the rest watched the massive herd of beast spirits move further away, and their tense bodies immediately relaxed. The masters of the Demonic Rhino Clan sat down abruptly with pale faces, as their legs couldn’t hold them upright anymore.

When the current had rushed towards them, they had thought they would be killed on the spot.

Han Shan swallowed harshly, his face wild with joy after escaping death. He turned towards Mu Chen and said gratefully, “Brother Mu, thank you so much.” If not for Mu Chen, they would have been pursued and murdered.

Mu Chen smiled while shaking his head, saying, “I just wanted to try it out. I didn’t think it would actually work.”

Knowing Mu Chen quite well by now, Han Shan didn’t take his words seriously. He knew Mu Chen would not have taken such a risk if he hadn’t been certain to some degree. Regardless, they had survived their near-death experience.

“With this tactic, shouldn’t we be able to invade this cemetery of many beasts at will?” Ink Blade asked, shocked.

Mu Chen shook his head and said, “The beast spirits we just encountered weren’t strong, so we could easily fool their senses, but if we met a stronger beast spirit, this tactic would not be effective.”

He had thought of this problem beforehand, and when the massive herd of beast spirits rushed past, he clearly detected the slight hesitation of some of the Grade Seven beast spirits that had sensed their presence. However, due to the massive herd behind them charging forward, they just dismissed the thought and flowed along with the herd. This showed that the stronger the beast spirit was, the more sensitive its senses were, so to think that they could always rely on the spiritual array to mask themselves would be overly optimistic.

Once all the beast spirits of the area had moved away, Mu Chen tapped his finger lightly, and the spiritual array surrounding them rapidly dissipated. He then lifted his gaze towards the distant treetop. There, the leaders Golden Break, Huo Yang, and the rest had dark looks on their faces and were glaring at Mu Chen murderously.

“It seems I’ve disappointed you…” Mu Chen looked at the dark expressions of Golden Break and the rest with a bright smile on his youthful and handsome face.

“Hehe, I didn’t know a Spiritual Array Master was among you. That was a surprise.” Golden Break smiled grimly while glaring at Mu Chen.

Han Shan’s gaze was just as malicious. He stared at Golden Break and the rest, and grinned evilly. “I’m afraid that is not the only surprise. It seems this time you won’t be able to monopolize the treasure of the Treasure Beast.”

“Is that so?” Golden Break lifted his gaze, and his smile had a mocking edge to it. “Han Shan, do you really think that just by clearing this hurdle you can challenge me? Even without the help of the beast spirits, just the few of you cannot possibly turn the tide in your favor.”

The alliance between the Golden Lion Clan and the Sirius Clan included around ten Grade Seven Sovereigns, while Mu Chen and the rest had at most only five. In a battle, the clans clearly had the advantage of numbers.

“Well, you could try it out,” Han Shan responded in kind, not relenting in the least. While they were outnumbered, they had the advantage in terms of quality. Nine Nether and Ink Blade were masters equal to him in skill, and were considered the creme de la creme among the Grade Seven Sovereigns. They were far beyond what ordinary Grade Seven Sovereigns could handle.

Besides, they also had Mu Chen, whose power could not be measured using the normal standards. Even Han Shan would be afraid to face this man who had almost killed Lu Sui with a single blow.

According to his calculations, Mu Chen, despite being a Grade Six Sovereign, could probably take four or five Grade Seven Sovereigns at once without being at a disadvantage.

Golden Break glared at Han Shan coldly, but in the next moment he smiled grimly. “I had long ago heard of the name Han Shan of the Demonic Rhino Clan. It seems today I will finally have the opportunity to experience his power.” He staked his claim on Han Shan as his opponent, clearly wanting to stop the latter personally.

“Nine Nether of the Nine Netherbird Clan is mine,” Huo Yang of the Sirius Clan said, his ferocious gaze locked on Nine Nether. In their opinion, the only worthy opponents on Han Shan’s side were Han Shan, Nine Nether, and Ink Blade. The rest were just minor figures. As for the fellow who had arranged the spiritual array, he was merely a Grade Six Sovereign, so killing him would be easy.

Golden Break inclined his head towards a blonde man behind him and said mildly, “As for the other one, Vajra take someone with you and deal with him.” The man he was referring to was clearly Ink Blade.

The man behind Golden Break was as sturdy as a metal tower, and golden rays emanated from his skin. He had made a name for himself in the Golden Lion Clan, though he was still not as powerful as the golden duo. Together with another Grade Seven Sovereign, it would be easy to keep Ink Blade occupied, even if they couldn’t beat him.

“Okay!” Vajra grinned, revealing a row of white teeth as he fixed his razor-like gaze on Ink Blade.

Faced with his wolf-like gaze, Ink Blade’s expression still remained placid and unaffected.

“Then send another five people to deal with the rest of them,” Golden Break said coldly. Apart from Han Shan, Nine Nether, and Ink Blade, the opposing side only had three ordinary Grade Seven Sovereigns. Five men would be enough to deal with them quickly.

Golden Break allocated all of his people with just these few sentences, and looking at it from the surface, this manner of allocation should have been sufficient to defeat Han Shan’s party completely.

To Golden Break, the outcome seemed clear.

Golden Break stood with his hands behind his back, his mocking gaze trained towards Han Shan, Nine Nether, and the rest as he said, “If I were you, I would have retreated just now. Despite managing to evade the attacks of the beast spirits, you’re still just futilely throwing away your lives.”
