"Spiritual Array Master?"
When Mu Chen discovered the Spiritual Seal in the young girl's hand, Zhou Ye also detected it. Immediately, a surprised expression flashed across his face. It was obvious that he did not expect that Nine Dragon City would have a Spiritual Array Master.
However, from her appearance, it seemed that this young girl was only an ordinary Rank 1 Spiritual Array Master.
"You people from the Mu Territory, hurry up and leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite." The Spiritual Seal rotated on the young girl's slender fingertips. She glanced at Zhou Ye and the others and said in a delicate voice.
"Is this how you treat your guests?" Zhou Ye's brows furrowed as he asked.
"Our Nine Dragon City is not familiar with your Mu Territory. Therefore, you are not considered guests."
The corner of the young girl's mouth curled up. Shortly after, the Spiritual Seal in her jade-like hands rapidly fused into the air before her. Instantly, Spiritual Energy fluctuations spread out. Very quickly, an ice-blue Spiritual Array took shape in the air, faintly emitting a cold aura.
"Since you are not leaving, then don't blame me!"
With a soft snort, the young girl waved her jade-like hand. Chilling Qi abruptly swept out from the Spiritual Array, transforming into ice spears that shot towards Zhou Ye and the others. The sound of wind breaking was accompanied by bone-chilling Chilling Qi.
Seeing this, Zhou Ye's eyes darkened. However, just when he was about to take action, Mu Chen, who was beside him, took a step forward first. He did not seem to have made any movements, but the air in front of him fluctuated. A fiery-red Spiritual Array quickly condensed out. Shortly after, flames gushed out and turned into a pillar of flames that rushed out. It directly vaporized all of the ice spears that were shooting towards him.
"Eh?"
Seeing this, the young girl finally let out a cry of surprise. Her beautiful eyes looked towards Mu Chen: "You are also a Spiritual Array Master?"
"This young lady, our Mu Territory has come here to give an opportunity to Nine Dragon City. With Leader Lei's courage, I feel that he would not give up on this opportunity. Of course, it is also possible that I have overestimated Leader Lei. However, if this is the case, I am afraid that Nine Dragon City will not be able to achieve anything in their lifetime." Mu Chen looked at the beautiful young girl and said indifferently.
"You dare to talk about my father?!"
When the young lady heard Mu Chen's words, her eyebrows immediately rose slightly. However, just as she was about to attack in anger once again, a cry suddenly sounded, "Yin-er, stop!"
When Mu Chen heard this shout, he was startled because he felt that this voice was a little familiar.
While Mu Chen was frowning, a figure appeared beside the young lady. He looked over and was immediately stunned, "Big brother Lei Cheng?"
Beside the young girl was a tall and strong man. His arms were bare and he was the captain of the Thunderstorm Team that Mu Chen had met in the Northern Spiritual Field, Lei Cheng.
"Haha, Little Brother Mu Chen, how have you been?" Lei Cheng cupped his fists towards Mu Chen and said with a smile.
"Mu Chen?"
When the young lady beside him heard this name, she was startled. Her beautiful eyes looked at Mu Chen strangely. Her eyes contained a hint of curiosity and provocation, "The Mu Chen from the Northern Spiritual Academy who obtained the Seeded Entry?"
Lei Cheng smiled and nodded, "Open the gate of the stronghold."
"Second Uncle, but …" When the young lady heard this, she quickly said.
Lei Cheng waved his hand and said, "This is your father's idea."
Only then did the young lady mutter. Then, she waved her hand and someone slowly opened the thick gate of the stronghold. Mu Chen and Zhou Ye looked at each other before they rode in.
"Big brother Lei Cheng, why are you in the Nine Dragon Stronghold?" After entering the stronghold, Mu Chen asked Lei Cheng with some doubts.
"Haha, my big brother is the Nine Dragon Stronghold Master. Naturally, I am here as well. However, I usually bring people to hunt Spiritual Beasts. Therefore, we formed an Adventurer's Team." Lei Cheng laughed.
"Hey, you are Mu Chen?
I heard that you are also a Spiritual Array Master?
Since when did the Northern Spiritual Academy produce a student that knows Spiritual Arrays? "The valiant young lady also sized up Mu Chen. She curled her red lips and asked.
From her tone, there seemed to be a lot of resentment towards the Northern Spiritual Academy. This caused Mu Chen to be a little puzzled.
"Ohoho, this is my big brother's daughter, Lei Yin. This girl is extremely fond of Spiritual Arrays and has quite a bit of talent in this area. However, our Nine Dragon Stronghold is unable to invite those experienced Spiritual Array Masters to teach her. She has been exploring by herself for the past few years. Now, she can be considered to have some achievements and can barely be considered as a Rank 1 Spiritual Array Master." Lei Cheng introduced with a smile.
Hearing this, Mu Chen looked at the young lady with some surprise. She was actually able to become a Rank 1 Spiritual Array Master by herself. It seems that her talent in this area is not weak.
"However, although she has a talent for Spiritual Array Cultivation, her Spiritual Energy Cultivation is not very good. Initially, she wanted to go to the Northern Spiritual Academy, but in the end, she did not meet the requirements."
"Eh …" Mu Chen looked at the young lady's eyes that were filled with resentment. Only then did he understand why she had resentment towards the Northern Spiritual Academy.
"You guys came because of the Mang Yin Mountain matter, right?" Lei Cheng looked at Mu Chen and Zhou Ye as he asked.
Zhou Ye nodded and said: "I'll have to trouble you to introduce us to Leader Lei."
"Big brother said that we cannot interfere in this matter. However, since you guys have come, I will bring you guys over since Mu Chen has helped me before. However, whether you can convince my big brother or not will depend on you guys." Lei Cheng said helplessly.
"Thank you, big brother Lei Cheng." Mu Chen said with a smile.
Lei Cheng smiled and then led the way. The young lady named Lei Yin stared at Mu Chen a few times with her big eyes. She curled her lips and followed them.
Mu Chen and Zhou Ye followed Lei Cheng into Nine Dragon City. Along the way, they met a lot of people who were sweating and training. These people's auras were not weak. Moreover, there was a faint smell of blood lingering around their bodies. It was obvious that they were not easy to deal with. The strength of this Nine Dragon City was indeed not weak.
The two of them followed Lei Cheng and went straight to the main stronghold. There, a middle-aged man with a strong appearance who looked similar to Lei Cheng was sitting at the head of the table. His sharp eyes stared at Mu Chen and Zhou Ye as they entered.
Obviously, this person was the Leader of Nine Dragon City, Lei Shan. He was also the second strongest person in the underworld of the Northern Spiritual Realm besides Yang Gui.
"Friends from the Mu Territory, I already know the purpose of your visit."
Lei Shan stared at Zhou Ye and Mu Chen and lightly said: "However, this is a grudge between the Mu Territory and Mang Yin Mountain. Our Nine Dragon City will not participate."
Hearing this, Zhou Ye's heart sank. This Nine Dragon City really did not want to help. However, just as he was about to speak, a soft voice came from the side: "Uncle Zhou, let me do it."
Zhou Ye was stunned as he looked at Mu Chen. Seeing the youth's serious expression, he hesitated for a moment before finally nodding his head.
"Leader Lei, I have long heard that you are a famous figure in the underworld of the Northern Spiritual Realm because of your iron fists. However, seeing you today is disappointing." Seeing Zhou Ye nod his head, Mu Chen slowly walked forward and softly laughed.
Lei Shan's sharp eyes stared at Mu Chen. However, he waved his hand and stopped his angry subordinates. He indifferently said: "You are still too inexperienced to use reverse psychology on me."
"I wonder if Leader Lei has the ambition to make Nine Dragon City become the true leader of the underworld of the Northern Spiritual Realm?" Mu Chen slowly said.
Lei Shan's pupils shrank slightly, but he still did not speak.
"Currently, Mang Yin Mountain is getting stronger and stronger in the underworld of the Northern Spiritual Realm. They are gradually expanding and annexing some of the underworld forces. Now, they should be the strongest force in the underworld of the Northern Spiritual Realm. Leader Lei should also agree with this, right?"
Lei Shan indifferently nodded his head.
"Mang Yin Mountain's forces are expanding quickly. Their ambition is obvious. After this, they have the secret help of the Liu Territory. I believe that their ambition is not limited to this. Perhaps, it will not be long before Mang Yin Mountain unifies the underworld of the Northern Spiritual Realm. At that time, Nine Dragon City will only have two paths to take. The first is to be annexed and become part of Mang Yin Mountain. The second is to resist. However, it is obvious that your Nine Dragon City is not Mang Yin Mountain's opponent for now."
Lei Shan's indifferent expression gradually changed. A long while later, he finally said, "This is only your guess."
"Yes, it is only a guess. But what if it is true?
Leader Lei, are you willing to use the future and lives of so many people in Nine Dragon City to bet that Mang Yin Mountain will not do the same?
You should know better than us what kind of people they are. "
Mu Chen smiled. Before coming here, he had thoroughly understood the situation of the underworld of the Northern Spiritual Realm as well as Mang Yin Mountain's style of doing things.
Within the main stronghold, the higher-ups of Nine Dragon City looked at each other. Their eyes were a little solemn. It was obvious that Mu Chen's words made them feel a little uneasy. After all, they did have a good understanding of Mang Yin Mountain. If they really had the secret help of the Liu Territory, they might really have that kind of ambition.
Within the underworld of the Northern Spiritual Realm, the only one that could contend against Mang Yin Mountain was Nine Dragon City. Therefore, if Mang Yin Mountain wanted to unify the underworld of the Northern Spiritual Realm, they would definitely take action against Nine Dragon City.
Zhou Ye also felt the change in Nine Dragon City's higher-ups. A hint of joy flashed through his eyes as he quietly gave Mu Chen a thumbs up. This little guy, I never thought that his words would be so sharp as well. He specifically chose Nine Dragon City's weak spot.
"What do you want?" Lei Shan frowned. His tone finally relaxed a little.
"Originally, the Mu Territory did not want to care about the underworld of the Northern Spiritual Realm. However, since Mang Yin Mountain took the initiative to provoke us, the Mu Territory will naturally not let them go. Therefore, this is also an opportunity for Nine Dragon City. If we join forces, we will be able to eliminate Mang Yin Mountain. At that time, you will become the strongest underworld within the Northern Spiritual Realm. Your space for development will also increase." Mu Chen said without hesitation.
"Then, wouldn't my Nine Dragon City offend the Liu Territory?
The Liu Territory is the strongest force within the Northern Spiritual Realm. It is not wise to offend them for the Mu Territory. "Lei Shan slowly said.
"But you don't have a choice. The Liu Territory looks down on you and directly chose Mang Yin Mountain. Now, it is not a question of whether you will offend the Liu Territory. Instead, the Liu Territory will help Mang Yin Mountain get rid of you, the stumbling block."
Mu Chen spread out his hands as he spoke out in a very honest manner. The other party clearly wants to exterminate you, yet you're still worried about offending them. That's too stupid.
Lei Shan was slightly stunned. His expression became increasingly ugly. Mu Chen's words were too disrespectful.
"Right now, you only have this opportunity. If the Mu Territory does not get rid of Mang Yin Mountain, we can only retreat first. However, at that time, the unlucky ones will be your Nine Dragon City."
Mu Chen smiled. However, his eyes gradually turned cold: "Therefore, if Leader Lei still has some foresight, you should not care about those pedantic rules and directly join forces with us to sweep Mang Yin Mountain!"
"Not only will this solve your potential crisis, it will also bring you a great opportunity!"
"Leader Lei, what do you think?!" Mu Chen's voice gradually became lower as he spoke.
Within the main stronghold, the atmosphere froze. All the higher-ups of Nine Dragon City, Lei Cheng, Lei Yin and the others all looked at Lei Shan, whose expression was constantly changing. His next decision would determine the fate of Nine Dragon City in the future.
Time slowly passed under the pressure. Mu Chen's mood gradually became nervous. He had already said what he needed to say. If this still could not dispel Lei Shan's worries, then he had no other choice. He could only think of another way to deal with Mang Yin Mountain.
Huff.
In the tense silence, Lei Shan finally exhaled. Then, he raised his head and stared sharply at the nervous Mu Chen before slowly nodding his head.
"Okay, our Nine Dragon City will cooperate with you and eliminate Mang Yin Mountain!"
