When Mu Chen, Jiu You, and the Blood Hawk King led their troops to the peak of the mountain, they saw the Mountain Splitting King, Spiritual Sword King, and Great Cliff King waiting there.
"I've troubled the three of you this time."
Mu Chen's group of three cupped their fists towards the Mountain Splitting King and the other two. If it wasn't for the three Kings rushing over in time, they would have been the ones being chased away.
The Mountain Splitting King waved his hand with a smile and straightforwardly said, "As people of the Great Heaven Domain, it's our duty to help each other. King Mu and King Jiu You have put down the grudges in the past and come to help the Blood Hawk Hall. That's how magnanimous you are."
As he spoke, the Mountain Splitting King cast a glance at the Blood Hawk King, who had an awkward expression. The latter was too arrogant in the Great Heaven Domain, so the Mountain Splitting King didn't have any good impression of the Blood Hawk King in the past. Therefore, his words were a little thorny.
But this time, he was rescued by Mu Chen's group, so the Blood Hawk King was clearly grateful in his heart. Therefore, he wasn't enraged by the Mountain Splitting King's words, but cast his gaze at Mu Chen and Jiu You and cupped his fists. "I will definitely repay this favour in the future."
Perhaps it was due to his emotions, but the Blood Hawk King's face, which usually had a dark expression, was much more sincere at this moment. His performance had also made the Mountain Splitting King's expression a little more gentle.
Mu Chen and Jiu You exchanged a glance and smiled. Although they had some ill feelings towards the Blood Hawk King's actions in the past, they could still differentiate the severity of the matter. Therefore, when they received the Blood Hawk Hall's request for help, they had swiftly rushed over.
But judging from the current situation …
The rescue this time seemed to have made the Blood Hawk King a little convinced. It was like an unintentional willow growing into a shade.
Although Mu Chen and Jiu You weren't afraid of the Blood Hawk King right now, it would save some trouble if someone wasn't an eyesore.
"Looks like King Mu's name will spread in the Hunting War after this. The Spirit of Battle Will isn't something that ordinary people can refine," the Spiritual Sword King said to Mu Chen with a smile. His eyes were filled with surprise.
The Mountain Splitting King nodded his head with a smile.
"Among the top forces in the Northern Region, there aren't many who can refine the Spirit of Battle Will."
"The other peak forces also have people who have refined the Spirit of Battle Will?" Mu Chen's eyes moved as he understood the meaning behind the Mountain Splitting King's words.
Judging from his words, it seemed that there were also people from the other peak forces that had reached this step.
"There are so many geniuses in the Northern Region. There will always be someone with special talent in this area.
And these people …
They're the targets that the other peak forces are trying to recruit. "
The Mountain Splitting King nodded his head and continued, "According to the information that we've obtained, I'm afraid that there are no less than five people who have successfully refined the Spirit of Battle Will. However, those Battle Will geniuses are different from people like Fang Yi. Due to their importance, most of the peak forces have chosen to conceal their information.
Therefore, it's hard for ordinary people to know of their existence and those peak forces won't easily expose them.
That's because it's easy to attract assassinations … "
Mu Chen nodded his head in agreement. Previously, when Fang Yi knew that Mu Chen had refined the Spirit of Battle Will, he had tried his best to kill Mu Chen. That's because Fang Yi knew how great of a threat someone who could refine the Spirit of Battle Will was.
Of course, from a certain point of view, it was because those who could refine the Spirit of Battle Will were qualified to become Battle Formation Masters … Although the success rate wasn't even one in ten thousand, what if they succeeded?
It would definitely be a great help to a peak force that possessed many elite troops.
Therefore, Mu Chen could understand why those peak forces would conceal their Battle Will geniuses.
"Which peak forces did those five come from?"
Mu Chen asked after pondering for a brief moment. Regarding such important information, he naturally had to be clear about it. That's because he might have to fight with the Battle Will geniuses that were hidden by the various peak forces in the future.
"Divine Pavilion, Netherworld Palace, Sky Profound Palace, Demon Gate, Myriad Saint Peak …" The Mountain Splitting King shrugged his shoulders and helplessly said, "Our Great Heaven Domain has also tried to recruit such Battle Will geniuses. However, the Domain Ruler has been in slumber and has never paid much attention to them … Therefore, there hasn't been any Battle Will geniuses in our Great Heaven Domain."
As he spoke, the Mountain Splitting King looked at Mu Chen with gratification. "But it's fortunate that you've appeared, allowing our Great Heaven Domain to have such Battle Will geniuses."
Mu Chen helplessly smiled. He knew that it wasn't because Mandala wasn't paying attention, but because she needed to suppress the curse in her body. Thus, she couldn't be bothered with the matters in the Great Heaven Domain.
"Do you have any information on the Battle Will geniuses of the Divine Pavilion and Sky Profound Palace?"
Mu Chen briefly pondered, before asking. He had quite a bit of grudges with those two forces. Therefore, he had to pay attention to their information.
The Mountain Splitting King rubbed his chin and said, "The Battle Will genius of the Divine Pavilion seems to be a girl. As for the one from the Sky Profound Palace, he seems to be a lunatic …"
Mu Chen was stunned as he looked at the Mountain Splitting King. "That's all?"
The Mountain Splitting King spread his hands out. "That's all. Generally speaking, this sort of information would be concealed by the various forces. Before we make use of it, we wouldn't know much about it."
Mu Chen couldn't help rolling his eyes. What he said was as good as not saying anything. However, since that's the case, then forget it. As long as he knew of their existence, it would be fine.
"Since the crisis here has been resolved, then we will have to leave first. Time is precious, and we still have to search for other ruins to gather Fallen Origin Pellets." The Mountain Splitting King patted his hands as he intended to leave with his troops.
When Mu Chen heard his words, he briefly pondered, before he suddenly looked at the four Kings and smiled. "I have a suggestion. We can gather together and search for ruins together. This way, there will be fewer troubles like today."
It wasn't easy for the four Kings to gather here, and they were free helpers. If they could gather together, it would undoubtedly increase their efficiency by a few folds.
Hearing Mu Chen's words, the Mountain Splitting King and the other four Kings were stunned before they knitted their brows. "Although it will be powerful if we gather together, it will slow down our search speed. It's not worth it."
It wasn't that they didn't think of gathering together, but the ruins of the Fallen Battlefield were too hard to find. They had to split up in order to maximize the number of ruins they could find. If they were to gather together, then their results might not be as good as splitting up.
Mu Chen smiled as he asked, "How many Fallen Origin Pellets have you guys gathered?"
"We've found a total of two Grade-3 Ruins, and we have three hundred Fallen Origin Pellets with us." The Blood Hawk King didn't know what Mu Chen meant, but he still replied first.
"We only have around two hundred." The Spiritual Sword King helplessly said.
"Around two hundred." The Great Cliff King smiled.
The Mountain Splitting King glanced at the three of them and grinned. There was a trace of pride in his laughter as he said, "Looks like we're lucky. We have five hundred with us."
When the other three Kings heard his words, they instantly exclaimed as they looked at the Mountain Splitting King with envy. After all, it wasn't easy to find hidden ruins in the Fallen Battlefield. Furthermore, they still had to guard against the interference of other forces.
Looking at the complacent Mountain Splitting King, Mu Chen couldn't help smiling. "We have a total of one thousand and two hundred Fallen Origin Pellets."
The Mountain Splitting King's laughter came to an abrupt stop, while the other three Kings were dumbfounded as they looked at Mu Chen. One thousand and two hundred Fallen Origin Pellets was a huge sum for them, and they could only refine it after exploring seven or eight Grade-3 Ruins. Could it be that Mu Chen and the rest could casually find a Grade-3 Ruin?
Mu Chen smiled as he waved his hand. Instantly, the Fallen Origin Pellets turned into a current that revolved around him. Looking at the four Kings, who had their eyes widened, he said, "Roughly half of the Fallen Origin Pellets were won from Xu Ba, while the rest were refined by us."
"How many ruins did you guys find?!"
The Mountain Splitting King said in disbelief. The reason why they could obtain five hundred Fallen Origin Pellets was because there were two forces that tried to rob them, but they ended up being robbed by the Mountain Splitting Army. Otherwise, they would only have around three hundred Fallen Origin Pellets right now.
"Including those that aren't Grade-3 Ruins, there should be six or seven in total." Mu Chen made a rough calculation before he casually said.
The four Kings exchanged a look before they looked at Mu Chen with a strange gaze. If it wasn't for the fact that they understood Mu Chen, they would have probably thought that Mu Chen was spouting nonsense.
Mu Chen wasn't surprised by their gazes. He shrugged his shoulders and casually said, "We obtained a treasure in the Fallen Battlefield that can help us find some ruins, so …"
"Bastard."
When Mu Chen finished his words, the eyes of the four Kings uncontrollably turned red. The Mountain Splitting King couldn't help cursing. The four of them stared at Mu Chen with blazing eyes because they knew what Mu Chen's words meant. A treasure that could help them find ruins in the Fallen Battlefield was simply a divine artifact to the various forces!
As long as they had such a treasure, it would be a piece of cake for them to gather Fallen Origin Pellets!
The four of them stared at Mu Chen with reddened eyes. If Mu Chen wasn't a member of their Great Heaven Domain, they might even have thoughts of snatching it.
When Mu Chen saw their gazes, he smiled with his eyes narrowed. "Now, I would like to invite the four of you to move with us. If we're lucky, we might even be able to find a Grade-1 Ruin!"
The four Kings licked their lips before they nodded without any hesitation.
"Let's do it!"
Rather than blindly wandering around the Fallen Battlefield, it was better to follow Mu Chen, who had a detector. Even a fool could calculate the difference in efficiency between the two!
When Mu Chen saw the four Kings being straightforward, he turned his head and exchanged a glance with Jiu You with a smile.
With these four powerful helpers and an army following them, it was time for them to sweep everything!
