In the Fallen Battlefield that was filled with a Spiritual Energy storm, the brutal war continued. Every single force was intensely competing for the Fallen Origin Pellets and some inheritances. Under this sort of competition, even some first-rate forces couldn't bear the price and had no choice but to retreat.

Of course, when the Hunting War had progressed to such a stage, it was clearly not an easy task even if one wanted to withdraw. This was because there was no lack of factions that tried to withdraw to preserve their strength, only to be ambushed once again. As a result, all the peak experts in their sects were killed, and some of the people that managed to flee were clearly unable to support their sects again. As a result, these factions that once possessed some prestige would eventually vanish into thin air in the Northern Region. Their former prestige would also vanish like smoke in the past.
This was the Hunting War. In this place, there was no eternal hunter, since no one knew if the hunter would become the hunted in the next moment.
It was also under this brutal atmosphere that Mu Chen led a large group from the Great Heaven Domain and left his secluded cultivation location, heading towards the gathering place of the various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain.
Their group could be considered powerful, and in addition to the commotion that occurred in the Death Ruin, the appearance of Mu Chen's group had immediately attracted the attention of the other forces.
In the past month, the one in the limelight in the Fallen Battlefield was undoubtedly Zhantai Liuli. But it was said that even Zhantai Liuli had suffered a great loss in Mu Chen's hands in the Death Ruin.
Thus, in the eyes of many, Mu Chen was probably even more troublesome than Zhantai Liuli. Thus, the appearance of such a figure would naturally attract more attention.
However, Mu Chen's group wasn't bothered by it at all.
However, he paid no attention to them and pushed his speed to the limits. Along the way, he did not make any stops. At the same time, due to Mu Chen's ferocious reputation and their formation, there weren't any blind forces that tried to target them.
Thus, Mu Chen's group traveled at full speed.
In just less than four days, they had already traversed a small portion of the Fallen Battlefield.
Gradually, they arrived at the Fallen Battlefield's Inner Area.
Compared to before, this region was even more miserable. That's because the forces that dared to enter this region were all extremely powerful.
All of them possessed some true strength, and no matter how weak they were, they were existences that could ascend into the ranks of first-rate powers in the Northern Region.
Thus, even though the number of battles here had decreased, once a battle broke out, it would definitely be earth-shattering.
After entering this vast region, even Mu Chen and the rest had slowed down their speed. At the same time, they had also started to take precautions in case they fall into the ambush of other forces.
In the Inner Realm of the Fallen Battlefield.
It was a dark color, a color that made people feel extremely oppressed. On that piece of land.
It was also filled with malevolent cracks. These cracks were like abysses that pierced through the earth. The pitch-black depths seemed bottomless.
These were all left behind from that ancient war.
Xiu!
On the black plain, the sound of wind breaking could be heard.
An earth-shattering light shadow swept past, bringing along an astonishing pressure as it swept out.
It caused even the heavens and earth to tremble.
Mu Chen stood at the front of the party with his eyes narrowed as he looked around. Shortly after, he turned his head to look at Jiu You and asked, "How long until we reach the gathering point?"
"According to our speed, there should be another two days," replied Jiu You.
"Two days?"
Mu Chen briefly pondered before he nodded his head. "Raise your guard, especially the Netherworld Palace."
Jiu You was briefly stunned before he nodded his head. Some time ago, they had also received some information that the Netherworld Palace seemed to be particularly interested in their party. However, they were too far away back then, so it wasn't a cause for concern. But now that they had also started to enter the Inner Area of the Fallen Battlefield, they had to raise their guard.
"The activities of the Netherworld Palace have been too intense recently. Furthermore, it's weird that their opponents are actually commanders with some talent in Battle Will." Mu Chen knitted his brows together. He vaguely felt that something was amiss. That's because the Netherworld Palace's method was a little targeted.
But for the time being, he couldn't understand why the Netherworld Palace would specifically target commanders with some talent in Battle Will. Thus, he could only suppress it for the time being and wave his hand, preparing to lead the party forward.
"Mhm?!"
But just when Mu Chen's party was about to move out, the eyes of the Mountain Splitting King, Jiu You and the rest suddenly narrowed before they waved their hands and the troops behind them immediately raised their guard.
Their gazes were directed at the horizon on their right. There was also a massive party that was whistling past. When that party saw Mu Chen's party, they were briefly stunned before they slowed down their speed. Evidently, they were also raising their guard.
"That's the party of the Demon Gate." Jiu You's eyes were sharp, so he immediately saw the unique runes on the clothes of that party.
"Oh?"
The hearts of Mu Chen's party trembled as they raised their guard. After all, the Demon Gate was a top-tiered force in the Northern Region, and this party was extremely powerful. If they fought, it would definitely be an earth-shattering battle.
"Don't make the first move."
Mu Chen instructed. Truth be told, he didn't want to become enemies with the Demon Gate. After all, the Great Heaven Domain didn't have any grudges with the Demon Gate. Furthermore, they had already offended the Divine Pavilion, Netherworld Palace and Sky Profound Palace. So it wouldn't be wise for them to become enemies with the Demon Gate as well.
Sensing that the Great Heaven Domain didn't show any signs of attacking, the party of the Demon Gate had slightly relaxed. A silhouette flew out and appeared before the party of the Great Heaven Domain.
That silhouette was donned in a red dress that accentuated her bewitching curves. Her peach blossom like cheeks were extremely bewitching. Mu Chen wasn't unfamiliar with such a beauty, since she was Hong Yu of the Demon Gate, which he had previously met in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven.
"May I ask if Brother Mu is here?" Hong Yu appeared before the party of the Great Heaven Domain.
Her voice gently rang out. That soft voice could even make one's bones go numb.
When Mu Chen heard that Hong Yu was actually looking for him, he was instantly stunned.
He couldn't help being stunned. On the other hand, the Mountain Splitting King and the rest had a playful look in their eyes and revealed a smile that all men understood.
Helplessly casting a glance at them, Mu Chen stepped forth and smiled. "Mu Chen is here. Does Miss Hong Yu have any advice for leading so many experts of the Demon Gate to our doorstep?"
When Hong Yu saw Mu Chen, her eyes slightly lit up.
Shortly after, she bitterly smiled. "This is a chance encounter, but I would like to ask for Brother Mu's help."
"Oh?" Mu Chen was stunned.
"Two days ago, we encountered the Netherworld Palace and fought with them."
After that, they fought, "Hong Yu said with a solemn expression.
When Mu Chen heard her words, he instantly narrowed his eyes. The Netherworld Palace had been active recently, and they seemed to be extremely interested in him.
Therefore, Mu Chen had also paid attention to them.
"Our Demon's Gate also has a Battle Will genius, but in the battle two days ago, he was defeated by Lin Ming of the Netherworld Palace!" Hong Yu gritted her teeth as she continued, "But for some unknown reason, ever since he was defeated by Lin Ming, that Battle Will genius of our Demon's Gate has been in a coma. We've tried all sorts of methods, but we couldn't wake him up!"
Mu Chen's eyelids twitched.
That Lin Ming should be the Battle Will genius of the Netherworld Palace, right?
"Brother Mu is also a Battle Will genius, and it's said that he displayed his prowess in the Death Ruin.
I believe that he must have become a Battle Formation Master, right?
Therefore, we would like to ask Brother Mu to try and see if you can help our Demon Gate to awaken him. "Hong Yu's tone was filled with a pleading tone.
Mu Chen smiled, but he did not give a direct reply. "Miss Hong Yu, you should know that we've been scheming against each other in the Hunting War.
If I really help you guys awaken that Battle Will genius, wouldn't I be causing trouble for our Great Heaven Domain in the future? "
Hong Yu slightly raised her bewitching face and said, "But it's always good to have another friend.
"But it's always good to have another friend. My Demon Gate was schemed against by the Netherworld Palace, and we have to get back at them. According to what I know, the Netherworld Palace has always been looking for you, and I believe they don't have any good intentions. So at least on this point, we have a common enemy, right?"
"Furthermore, Lin Ming of the Netherworld Palace has specifically said that he wants to deal with you, but you don't know what means he has. Therefore, you might be able to learn some of Lin Ming's means from our injured Battle Will genius so that you can be prepared.
"Furthermore, with Brother Mu's current strength, I'm afraid that a Battle Will genius won't pose much of a threat to you, right?"
Even with Mu Chen's character, he couldn't help praising Hong Yu's intelligence in his heart after hearing her words. Hong Yu was truly intelligent. Her words had completely touched on Mu Chen's thoughts. Furthermore, it was also in line with the benefits of both parties. Thus, Mu Chen couldn't find any reason to reject her.
Although Mu Chen knew that there wasn't an absolute partner in the Hunting War, at the very least, it would be beneficial for their Great Heaven Domain to ease their relationship with the Demon Gate.
"Then, I'll have to trouble you guys to bring him over." Mu Chen said. He naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to face the other party's army alone.
Hong Yu clearly knew that it was impossible for Mu Chen to head over. Thus, she waved her hand and several silhouettes flew out from the rear of the army. They carried a wooden board with a pale complexion and a man with his eyes tightly shut lying on it.
Mu Chen looked at the pale man and slightly knitted his brows. Behind him, Jiu You, the Mountain Splitting King and the rest had also flown over and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?
There's nothing wrong with the Spiritual Energy in this person's body. "
Mu Chen nodded his head and briefly hesitated, before stretching two of his fingers out and gently tapped on the centre of the pale man's brows. Thereafter, his eyes abruptly narrowed and a sharp light shot out from his eyes.
"Brother Mu, how is he?" Hong Yu quickly asked when she saw this.
Mu Chen slowly retracted his fingers and wore a grave expression as he slowly said, "His will is gone. In the future, he will no longer be able to control Battle Will."
As he spoke, Mu Chen's heart trembled a little. Lin Ming of the Netherworld Palace actually possessed such an overbearing and bizarre means that could destroy the will of others.
As a Battle Formation Master, Mu Chen knew that this Battle Will genius of the Demon Gate had been completely crippled.
Looks like Lin Ming is an extremely troublesome fellow.
