The Great Ruler - Chapter50

The Black Eerie Swamp was located in the southern part of the Northern Spiritual Realm. It was a relatively remote area within the Northern Spiritual Realm. Because it was too dangerous, there were very few people here.

There was some distance between the Mu Territory and the Black Eerie Swamp. Therefore, when Mu Feng and the others arrived at the Black Eerie Swamp, it was already three days later.

Mu Chen stood on top of a hill and looked in front of him. In front of him was a dark primeval forest. The sky above the seemingly endless black forest was filled with a grey deathly miasma. This deathly miasma was extremely poisonous. Even a Spiritual Rotation Stage powerhouse would not dare to let it enter their body.

Even though there was some distance between them, Mu Chen could still feel the dense deathly aura and stench emitted from the Black Eerie Swamp. Compared to the Northern Spiritual Field, this place was much more dangerous. It was no wonder that it was the forbidden area that everyone within the Northern Spiritual Realm feared.

"The Liu Territory's men should have already arrived at the Black Eerie Swamp. They entered from the western passage. Perhaps we'll meet them not long after we enter." Zhou Ye looked at the Black Eerie Swamp and said in a deep voice.

Mu Feng nodded slightly and immediately took out a jade bottle. There were a few dark red pills inside the jade bottle: "Everyone, take these Poison Dispelling Pills. Although it cannot completely eliminate the poison that is too strong, it should have some resistance against the deathly miasma."

Mu Chen also took out a Poison Dispelling Pill and swallowed it. He instantly felt a cool aura wandering within his body. It must be the effect of the Poison Dispelling Pill.

"You should all know about the dangers of the Black Eerie Swamp. Therefore, be careful. Let's go!"

Seeing that everyone was ready, Mu Feng did not delay any longer. He waved his hand and his body rushed out first. He headed straight for the Black Eerie Swamp in the distance. Behind him, Zhou Ye, Mu Chen and the others immediately followed.

A group of nearly a hundred people. It was not a small group. However, the people that Mu Feng brought along were all veterans. They were quite experienced as well. Therefore, they did not make a sound as they hurried along. They did not even bring any dust with them. Finally, the group of people quietly entered the Black Eerie Swamp that was filled with deathly miasma.

After entering the Black Eerie Swamp, Mu Chen could feel a chilling feeling spreading from all directions, causing the blood in his body to stiffen a little.

Mu Chen vigilantly scanned the dark environment. Compared to the Northern Spiritual Field, this place was exceptionally quiet. However, it was this silence that made people feel uneasy.

As the group carefully ventured deeper, Mu Chen could sense that all of their bodies were tensed up. Their hands were tightly gripping onto the shining swords and blades as they quietly circulated their Spiritual Energy.

Although they were extremely careful, the Black Eerie Swamp was filled with danger and killing intent.

Ah!

Not long after the group of people entered deep into the Black Eerie Swamp, a mournful scream came from within the group. Under the ground that was covered with rotten branches and leaves, a pitch-black, ferocious snake suddenly emerged. The huge body of the snake twisted and instantly swallowed two experts of the Mu Territory who could not react in time. Black-colored saliva dripped down from its huge mouth, corroding all the dead leaves on the ground. It was obvious that it was highly toxic.

"It's a Black Eerie Snake!"

Because of the sudden attack, the group was a little chaotic. However, it quickly stabilized. Everyone looked at the ferocious black snake and exclaimed. This was a Middle Rank Spiritual Beast, comparable to a Spiritual Rotation Stage Middle Phase. They never expected to encounter such a powerful Spiritual Beast right after entering the Black Eerie Swamp.

"Hmph."

Seeing this, Zhou Ye's brows furrowed. With a cold snort, he took a step forward. Vigorous Spiritual Energy erupted from his body as his figure flashed forward and directly appeared above the Black Nether Serpent. Then, both of his feet heavily stomped on the enormous body of the Black Nether Serpent.

Roar!

When Zhou Ye angrily stomped on the snake, Spiritual Energy flashed behind him. Faintly, it seemed to have turned into the shape of a huge beast. It was a dark yellow rhinoceros. The back of the rhinoceros was covered with thick scales and it seemed to be carrying a small mountain.

Bang!

When the dark yellow rhinoceros appeared, Zhou Ye's body seemed to have become as heavy as a mountain. An incomparably heavy weight exploded out and directly crushed the Black Eerie Snake. As the earth trembled, the Black Eerie Snake wailed as it fell to the ground. The snake's body had been crushed into a pile of bloody paste.

A Middle Rank Spiritual Beast comparable to a Spiritual Rotation Stage Middle Phase was actually crushed to death by Zhou Ye.

When Mu Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

"Your Uncle Zhou has already advanced to the Spirit Stage Initial Phase. The Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence that he has refined is the Mountain Spirit Rhinoceros that is ranked 180th on the Myriad Beast Record's Earth Ranking. When it comes down, it is like a mountain pressing down on someone. It can instantly crush a person into meat paste." Mu Feng said.

Mu Chen nodded his head in envy. When would he be able to obtain his own Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence?

Zhou Ye took out the Black Eerie Snake's Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence and walked back. He said in a deep voice: "The Black Eerie Swamp is filled with danger. If you don't want to lose your life, then stay alert!"

Everyone quickly responded. Although they were already extremely vigilant towards the Black Eerie Swamp, it was obvious that it was still not enough.

After eliminating the Black Eerie Snake, the team continued to move forward. However, this time, they were even more careful. Sharp and vigilant gazes constantly scanned their surroundings. Even when they were about to land, they would carefully probe their surroundings before they dared to land.

Although this cautiousness resulted in a decrease in their speed, it was still rather effective. After the Black Netherworld Serpent, the group suffered several sneak attacks. Fortunately, this time around, there were no more casualties. Only a dozen or so people suffered some light injuries.

This careful journey lasted for nearly half an hour. Mu Feng and the team had finally begun to enter the depths of the Black Eerie Swamp. However, the surrounding environment became even more deathly silent. It was enough to make one's hair stand on end.

"Clatter."

Mu Feng, who was at the very front, suddenly stopped. His eyes were sharp as he stared into the dark forest that emitted a rotten smell. He sneered and said: "Liu Qingtian, since when did you become so fond of hiding?"

Hearing Mu Feng's words, everyone was shocked. They quickly gripped their swords and gazed into the dark forest. Did they finally meet the people from the Liu Territory here?

Mu Chen was also closely looking in that direction. This kind of encounter was even earlier than what he had expected.

"Mu Feng, I really can't get rid of your Mu Territory."

Not long after Mu Feng's voice faded away, a faint laughter came from within the dark forest. Then, rustling sounds of footsteps rang out. Numerous figures slowly walked out from within the forest.

There were at least a hundred of them. The lineup was not weak. Mu Chen's gaze swept around and he stared at the very front. There, a middle-aged man wearing a green robe stood there with a faint smile. This person had a pair of slightly sunken eyes. When his eyes swept around, it was like a tiger or a leopard. It made people's hearts tremble.

Liu Qingtian, the Lord of the Liu Territory.

Mu Chen pursed his lips. It was evident that this person was the Territory Lord of the largest Territory within the Northern Spiritual Realm, Liu Qingtian!

Beside Liu Qingtian, there was an extremely thin middle-aged man. His eyes were dark green and his face was indifferent. However, from the Spiritual Energy fluctuations that were faintly emitted from his body, it was evident that he was a powerhouse that had advanced into the Spirit Stage!

The Liu Territory's Second Master, Liu Zong.

Mu Chen's mind turned and he immediately understood the identity of this person. This was because Liu Ming, whom he had met once, was standing behind him. Beside Liu Ming, there was another familiar face. It was Liu Mubai. He never expected that he would follow them here.

When the two sides collided, their gazes instantly turned hostile. Spiritual Energy quietly surged and the atmosphere became tense.

"Boy, it really was you who took that thing away!"

When Liu Ming and Liu Mubai saw Mu Chen following behind Mu Feng, their gazes instantly turned cold. Especially the powerhouse, he had an expression of grinding his teeth. Although he had already guessed it, he still couldn't help but be furious when he confirmed it. He was the Third Master of the Liu Territory, yet he was fooled by a boy. How could he not be angry from embarrassment?

Facing Liu Ming's vicious gaze, Mu Chen only smiled at him. Then, he looked at Liu Mubai, who had a cold expression, and said: "I still have to thank you for giving me such a big gift."

Liu Mubai's eyes narrowed for a moment and said: "You're quite lucky."

Mu Chen smiled. His smile made Liu Ming grind his teeth even more.

"Ohoho, Mu Feng, you have a good son."

Liu Qingtian also faintly glanced at Mu Chen. He probably knew that the main reason why the Mu Territory was attracted here was because of Mu Chen.

Mu Feng indifferently looked at Liu Qingtian and said: "Your Liu Territory is quite greedy. Good things should be enjoyed by everyone. It's not a good move to monopolize it."

"You want to share everything? Aren't you afraid that the Mu Territory will be stuffed to death?" Liu Zong, who was beside Liu Qingtian, stared coldly at Mu Feng and the others as he spoke.

"It's easier to die if you monopolize it." Zhou Ye also sneered.

Liu Zong also coldly smiled and said: "If all of the Mu Territory's elites were to die here, then the Mu Territory's territory would be ruled by my Liu Territory."

"I'm afraid that you don't have the ability to do so!" Zhou Ye slowly said.

Both sides no longer spoke. However, their gazes became colder as they stared at each other. Waves of Spiritual Energy quietly surged out. It seemed that a bloody battle was about to erupt.

Mu Chen looked at the tense atmosphere and quietly channeled his Spiritual Energy. However, just when he was preparing, his ears suddenly twitched. He stared at the darkness in the depths of the Black Eerie Swamp. There seemed to be a strange sound coming from there.

Buzz.

When Mu Chen heard this buzzing sound, he was startled for a moment. Then, his face instantly changed.
