Chapter 1163 (2/2)

This Spirit-Slaughtering troop had been utterly destroyed.

Mu Chen’s expression turned downcast. If he could not control the Spirit-Slaughtering troop, he could not bring Mandela’s actual form out from where it was heavily guarded.

“How did that happen?” Mu Chen’s brows knit together tightly. As a matter of fact, for such elite troops, when there were soldiers who were at their dying breath in battle, most of them would activate their black magic and deprive themselves of life. They would then transform into corpse soldiers, so even if they were dead, they could still be a member of the army. These corpse soldiers, to some extent, were no longer living creatures, so they could withstand the erosion of time. In that case, why couldn’t Mu Chen detect any life from them? It was as if they were truly dead.

As Mu Chen ruminated, a gentle laugh rang from behind him. “That’s because this army is lacking a trigger to activate them.”

Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed as he turned around slowly. A slender and graceful figure stood at the door. It was Su Qingyin.

Who would have thought that she had arrived at the Second Hall, too?

Mu Chen’s expression was calm, but spiritual energy circulated in his body. Although he and Su Qingyin were not enemies, they were not friends, either.

Su Qingyin smiled as she saw Mu Chen’s wariness. “Don’t be so nervous. I don’t want to fight you right now, so let’s work together. I think it might be better.”

“Work together?” Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed.

Su Qingyin glanced at Mu Chen as she said meaningfully, “Your target is this army? Haha, you are ambitious, indeed. This army cannot be controlled by anyone.”

“I believe that has nothing to do with you then,” Mu Chen replied nonchalantly before he asked, “What did you mean by trigger?”

Su Qingyin smiled casually and said, “This army has not yet been completely destroyed. When the Second Hall Master was killed, the army burned their spirit directly and poured its strength into the Second Hall Master, trying to preserve traces of his life. If you want this army, you have to give them their strength back.”

Mu Chen frowned as he said, “Preserving a Complete Earthly Sovereign’s traces of life just by doing so? That’s too simple.”

Su Qingyin nodded and said, “Of course it’s not possible just by doing so, but the Second Hall Master has a Phoenix Bug, which is a rare Spiritual Bug. This worm can revive once for its master to restore vitality, but it needs an extremely large force to support it.”

“Phoenix Bug?” Mu Chen’s heart jolted. Were the traces of life from the Second Hall Master the supposed Phoenix Bug? In this way, does the Second Hall Master have a real chance of resurrection?

“The Second Hall Master has fallen completely and will not be resurrected again.” As if aware of Mu Chen’s thoughts, Su Qingyin lightly shook her head and said, “The attack on the Second Hall Master was too destructive, turning everything inside him into ashes, so even the Phoenix Bug can’t save him.”

Turning to Mu Chen, she said, “My target is the Phoenix Bug. As long as I can get it, I can use black magic to push out the strength of the army it absorbed, and then you will be able to get that army.”

“So, we can work together.” Mu Chen’s gaze flickered, and a moment later, he said, “Then what do I need to do?”

No matter whether it was true or false, he didn’t mind trying, and if the girl tried to deceive him, he would make her pay.

Seeing that Mu Chen was convinced, Su Qingyin smiled happily, and then she looked solemnly at the great palace. She pointed a finger, and a beam of spiritual energy surged out.

Buzz.

When the spiritual energy rushed into the hall, suddenly the whole hall vibrated. Countless rays of spiritual power condensed in mid-air, and suddenly there was the sound of a dragon’s roar as a huge spiritual array enveloped the entire hall.

Looking at the terrifying spiritual array, Su Qingyin said softly, “I need you to break this spiritual array apart for me.”

Mu Chen looked up at the great spiritual array, and a look of astonishment and shock appeared on his face, for he found that the spiritual array before his eyes was so familiar. That was clearly a Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array! However, this spiritual array was complete!
