In the great ancient palace, Mu Chen walked into the Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array. The moment he entered, the nine dragons dissipated and the whole spiritual array calmed.

Hence, the array did not cause any obstruction to Mu Chen’s entry. After a few minutes, Mu Chen finally arrived at the throne.

However, just as he was about to climb the royal stone ladder, in the rear, where the Spirit-slaughtering Troop was, a light surfaced on some of the soldiers’ bodies. These were the soldiers who had recovered their strengths!

The soldiers then stepped forward at the same time, causing the great hall to tremble. A terrible sense of oppression swept through like a massive dragon, heading straight towards Mu Chen.

Sensing the oppression, Mu Chen immediately he took a step back from the stone ladder. At that moment, the pressure immediately dispersed, while the Spirit-slaughtering Troop also stepped back in place.

“Even without their spiritual intelligences, they are still guarding the Second Hall Master?” Mu Chen’ s quizzical gaze flashed.

This Spirit-slaughtering Troop had lost their strength, so they had not resisted when Su Qingyin took action, but now that their strength had been restored, they naturally were carrying out their responsibility to guard the Second Hall Master.

If that had been the case before, the moment Su Qingyin dared to step into the range of the throne, she would have immediately attracted the destructive attack of two thousand Spirit-slaughtering soldiers!

“What a lucky woman.” Mu Chen murmured. Then, without hesitation, he took a decisive step forward again.

Boom!

Light condensed in the hollow eyes of the Spirit-slaughtering soldiers, and a terrible aura of oppression swept out again. This time, there was a faint bloody aura roaring in their bodies, while a force of extreme terror gathered above them. That was the power of fighting intent!

However, as the terrible fighting intent, which was comparable to an Earthly Sovereign, converged, Mu Chen immediately took out the Commander’s Seal and raised it with one hand. The mottled ancient Commander’s Seal lay quietly in Mu Chen’s hands.

The, as if it had been summoned by something, it started vibrating slightly. At the same time, an ancient cry of the battle horn rang out.

As the sound of the horn reverberated in the hall, the Spirit-slaughtering Troop, who was about to launch an attack, suddenly froze. The fighting intent above them dissipated, then they stepped forward and each knelt on one knee in Mu Chen’s direction.

As they had become corpse soldiers, they were no longer intelligent, so they could not make a sound. However, when they knelt down, the space itself seemed to be shaking.

Mu Chen grinned at the sight. It seemed that, even after thousands of years, this Commander’s Seal still worked!

However, Mu Chen’s smile did not last long, as he quickly changed his facial expression to conceal his emotions. He knew that, although his holding a Commander’s Seal qualified him to take control of the Spirit-slaughtering Troop, it did not mean that he had the ability to activate the Spirit-slaughtering Troop.

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered, and he immediately stepped up the stone ladder. He went to the throne, looked down at the Spirit-slaughtering Troop from above, and sat down upon the throne.

He had not led an army in a while, but it did not mean that his power as a war troop dispatcher had lessened. As his strength continued to grow, similarly, his talent at being an excellent war troop dispatcher also grew. He just hadn’t had a suitable opportunity to show it.

Now, it was time to test the fruits of his year-long constant cultivation as a war troop dispatcher. Mu Chen gradually closed his eyes, then opened them again. When they opened, his eyes had become crystal clear.

Then, a strange, strong wave, like ripples, surged in the space. That wave seemed to have little destructive power, but when it appeared, the Spirit-slaughtering Troop was activated.

In their eyes, a real glow of blood could be seen. Meanwhile, above their heads, the gathering of the blood-red light turned into thick clouds of blood. These blood clouds were stacked in layers and permeated the entire hall.

A palpable wave spread out from the thick blood clouds, raising a chill in Mu Chen’s heart. These blood clouds were the manifestation of the Spirit-slaughtering Troop’s fighting intent, and the power within them was absolutely terrifying!

This was the most powerful fighting intent that Mu Chen had ever seen! As such, it was hard to imagine how powerful the Spirit-slaughtering Troop was in the peak of their power. This power, which could annihilate even Earthly Sovereigns, was no joke!

However, Mu Chen did not retreat, a passionate gaze of desire burning in his eyes. He would not give up easily.
