”Welcome, my lord.” The mighty voice echoed between the sky and the earth, temporarily stunning Mu Chen. After a short delay, he looked at the Mystery Dragon Army with a slightly surprised expression. He never thought that this army that he yearned for would actually recognize him as their new lord.
At this moment, even though Mu Chen tried to calm himself, he still could not slow his racing heart. Although he tried his best to maintain an indifferent expression, he still could not hide the surprised expression on his face.
After a while, he simply did not try to conceal it anymore, and a look of ecstacy spread across his face. This was because he clearly understood the strength of this army. Unfortunately, because of their slumber, some of the warriors had deteriorated after such a long time. Nevertheless, this was a formidable army that could take on a Heavenly Sovereign. When Mu Chen could finally take control of all of them one day, he would be fearless, even if fighting against a Heavenly Sovereign.
In the current Great Thousand World, the resources and energy required to cultivate an army of this caliber were so great that even an average supreme power absolutely could not afford it. For example, Wu Jia and the Western Kingdom War Temple might have a Heavenly Sovereign on their side, but they surely did not have an army of this caliber.
If Mu Chen was building an army himself by finding every talent in the Mu Estate, he would feel frustrated even in cultivating an army a tenth of the size of the Mystery Dragon Army. This was why Mu Chen was currently so excited that he could not control his frame of mind.
After being excited for a while, Mu Chen was finally able to contain his ecstacy, and he spoke to the burly man and the Mystery Dragon Army while cupping his fist in one hand. ”Please stand up everyone.”
His attitude towards them was extremely modest. He did not become haughty just because the Mystery Dragon Army recognized his status. This was because the Mystery Dragon Army was different from his previously obtained war puppets. They were an army with pride and dignity. Hence, some actions to win over people's support were required.
Rustle.
In the plaza, tens of thousands of Mystery Dragon warriors stood up, and the burly man said, ”Please get to your positions so our new lord can receive the army tally!” He pointed at the stone platform at the centermost part of the plaza.
Seeing this, Mu Chen did not hesitate at all. With a single move, he floated down onto the stone platform and looked downwards upon all of the Mystery Dragon Army.
”I, Jiang Long, the commander of Mystery Dragon Army, greet the new lord.” The burly man first bowed to Mu Chen, then he bit his tongue and immediately, a mouthful of blood essence was spit out.
Putt, putt.
As he spit out this mouthful of blood essence, it was seen that every other Mystery Dragon Army warrior did so as well. The copious amount of blood essence quickly converged and finally transformed into a blood ball, floating in front of Mu Chen. The blood ball kept on thrashing and agglomerating. Slowly, a crimson Dragon Tally materialized while absorbing the numerous blood essences.
Floating in front of Mu Chen, the Dragon Tally was radiating a mysterious energy. He looked at the tally with fiery eyes, as he understood that if he refined the Dragon Tally, then he would have the Mystery Dragon Army under his command. Therefore, he did not hesitate to also bite his tongue. A line of blood essence spurted out and landed on the Dragon Tally. The blood essence quickly melted into it, and Mu Chen could feel that he had formed a close relationship with this Mystery Dragon Army.
Mu Chen extended his hand and grasped the Dragon Tally. At this moment, he understood that he had become the Mystery Dragon Army's new lord.
In the distance, as Wu Tong witnessed this scene, he was so envious that his eyes turned red. His baleful expression looked as if he wanted to drag Mu Chen down and replace him. The regret he was feeling right now was indescribable. If he had known this was going to happen, he would absolutely not have allowed Mu Chen to step into this place. He should have used every possible method to keep Mu Chen out.
If that had been the case, he would not have had to compete with Mu Chen in the technique of War Troop Dispatcher to determine the winner. In Wu Tong's mind, Mu Chen was only an Upper Earthly Sovereign. If both sides were not using fighting spirit, he had absolute confidence that he could kill Mu Chen.
”D*mn it! D*mn it!” Wu Tong mumbled and kept on cursing. The crimson color in his eyes was so intense, it seemed as if blood was about to drip out. However, Mu Chen apparently did not have time to care about Wu Tong's hatred at the moment. Holding the Dragon Tally while acknowledging his control over this extremely strong army, he was feeling utterly joyful. Just the reward of this army alone had make his trip to the Ancient Holy Gulf worthwhile.
At this moment, the Mystery Dragon Army warriors' faces were slightly pale due to losing a portion of their blood essence when refining the Dragon Tally.
Bam!
The commander, Jiang Long, was looking at Mu Chen with a slightly satisfied expression. Just when he was about to speak, the land suddenly had a tremor. Noticing the tremor, Mu Chen and Jiang Long were startled for a moment before lifting their heads to look at Wu Tong in the distance. What is this guy still on about?
However, when they looked over at him, they found that Wu Tong was not doing anything suspicious.
”Who?!” Mu Chen and Jiang Long's faces twitched slightly, as if noticing something. Suddenly, they turned their heads towards a void in the distance and shouted loudly. As they shouted, that void twisted and immediately, a black mist diffused out from it. In the next instant, it transformed into a completely black figure that floated in the air.
”Hee hee…”
