"I'll protect her.
The Apex Novel. "
Everyone's gazes followed the direction of Mu Chen's finger and saw a silhouette standing at the back of the Divine Pavilion's experts.
That silhouette was naturally Zhantai Liuli, who had joined hands with Mu Chen in the Death Ruin.
Amongst the panicking experts of the Divine Pavilion, although Zhantai Liuli's strength wasn't outstanding, everyone had shock in their eyes when they looked at her.
That's because they realised that the latter's expression was calm from the start to the end. It was so much so that even when the Divine Pavilion Master had fallen, she didn't feel any despair. It was so much so that if one took a closer look, they could see the corner of her lips curling up, which was clearly an expression of extreme joy …
Compared to the surrounding experts of the Divine Pavilion who were filled with despair, there was a stark contrast in their expressions.
But at this moment, Zhantai Liuli, who had a leisurely expression and wasn't bothered about the outcome, had a smear of astonishment in her eyes when Mu Chen pointed his finger at her.
Evidently, she did not expect that Mu Chen would lend a helping hand at this moment.
"Her?"
Mandala had also cast a glance at Zhantai Liuli in astonishment. The latter's strength was extremely ordinary, and she could even be considered a hindrance amongst the experts of the Divine Pavilion. But Mandala had sensed a peculiar fluctuation coming from her.
"The power of Battle Will?
She's a Battle Formation Master? "Mandala's brows twitched. Battle Formation Masters were rare in the Northern Region.
If that's the case, then this girl definitely had the qualifications to be recruited.
"Don't look down on her. If she makes a move on this rock island, she won't be able to defeat us.
If she makes a move on the rock island, I'm afraid that I won't be able to obtain the Perfect Spiritual Divine Liquid. "Mu Chen said.
What he said was true. After all, others might think that there was no army around them.
Zhantai Liuli was a cripple, but he knew that back in the Death Ruin, Zhantai Liuli had obtained half of the Divine Battle Will Board, just like him. The moment that item was activated, it could even confront an Eighth Grade Sovereign. So if Zhantai Liuli had brought out her Divine Battle Will Board on the rock island, not only would it be impossible for Mu Chen to obtain the ancient clay jar, but he had also brought out his Divine Battle Will Board.
Perhaps he himself would also be in danger.
Naturally, the reason why Zhantai Liuli did this was because of her hatred for the Divine Pavilion. Therefore, she wasn't willing to see the Divine Pavilion Master complete his breakthrough. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to take revenge in her lifetime.
When Mandala heard Mu Chen's words, she was slightly startled. Shortly after, her gaze towards Zhantai Liuli had eased up, although she wasn't too clear about the details.
But since Mu Chen had said so, then even their Great Heaven Domain had received a favour from her.
"Since that's the case, then she can be considered as a favour to my Great Heaven Domain.
My Great Heaven Domain will naturally protect her. "
Mandala smiled towards Zhantai Liuli. "Furthermore, as long as she's willing, my Great Heaven Domain will always open its doors to her.
At that time, the Eleventh King of my Great Heaven Domain will belong to her. "
When she spoke out.
The intention to recruit her couldn't be any clearer. When the surrounding peak forces heard her words, their countenances slightly changed.
After all, they were clear about the potential that a Battle Formation Master possessed. But at this moment, they wouldn't dare to compete with the Great Heaven Domain. Thus, they could only shake their heads in regret.
Zhantai Liuli was also briefly stunned, before she revealed hesitation on her face.
"Miss Zhantai, if you're worried about the safety of your family, my Great Heaven Domain will send someone to the Divine Pavilion to bring them back. I can guarantee that your family will be safe, An Ran." Mu Chen said when he saw the hesitation on Zhantai Liuli's face.
Hearing Mu Chen's guarantee, Zhantai Liuli gritted her teeth and nodded her head. "If my family can be saved, I will definitely do my best!"
"Zhantai Liuli!"
"You traitor! My Divine Pavilion has nurtured you with all our strength and helped you become a Battle Formation Master! You ungrateful wretch!"
When the surrounding experts of the Divine Pavilion saw this scene, they instantly roared, especially the four Pavilion Lords, who were ferociously looking at Zhantai Liuli. If Mandala had sealed their movements, they would have already made their moves to kill her.
Hearing their roars, Zhantai Liuli's lips rose into a ridiculing arc as she coldly said, "Nurture?
Back then, when your Divine Pavilion saw my talent in Battle Will, you actually secretly massacred my family, forcing me to seek protection from your Divine Pavilion. However, you guys were still worried and even poisoned my little sister into a cripple, trying to use this to force me to be loyal to the Divine Pavilion. Haha, I have always remembered your nurturing in my heart. But fortunately, the heavens have eyes, and today is the time for your Divine Pavilion to repay your debt! "
Zhantai Liuli's voice was filled with coldness and dense enmity. Now that the Divine Pavilion couldn't even protect itself, she could finally release the hatred in her heart and no longer have any worries.
Zhantai Liuli's venomous words had forced the four Pavilion Lords of the Divine Pavilion to be speechless. Immediately, they could only viciously look at Zhantai Liuli. But before they could speak, Mandala had waved her sleeve and a terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure spread out, causing the four Pavilion Lords to groan with a smear of blood on the corner of their lips. They were so shocked that they no longer dared to speak.
"Haha. Congratulations to the Great Havenlaw Ruler for obtaining another capable general."
When the Myriad Saint Ancestor saw this scene, he had smiled with his eyes narrowed. His words clearly had the intention to pull their relationship closer.
Mandala did not have any grudges with the Myriad Saint Ancestor, so she had replied with a smile, before looking at the few Earth Sovereigns that had yet to speak. "Since the Divine Pavilion Master has fallen, then there's no need for the Divine Pavilion to exist. I wonder, what do you guys think about the distribution of the Divine Pavilion's territories?"
When she spoke, the Myriad Saint Ancestor, Liu Tiandao and the Demon Emperor had squinted their eyes. The Divine Pavilion was once the strongest peak force in the Northern Region, so its foundation and treasury must be extremely bountiful. It was a massive pie, and as long as they could take a bite of it, it wouldn't be just a little.
In the past Hunting Wars, the territories of the defeated peak forces weren't fixed.
Basically, whoever had the bigger fist would be able to snatch more.
So in the past Hunting Wars, the Divine Pavilion had practically obtained the most benefits.
But that was in the past.
The current situation was completely different. The strength of the Great Heaven Domain had far surpassed the other peak forces. So if the Myriad Saint Ancestor and the rest thought that Mandala would peacefully take a share, then they would be too naïve.
The few Earth Sovereigns exchanged a glance, before the Myriad Saint Ancestor gently said, "I wonder what the Great Havenlaw Ruler thinks?"
When Mandala saw the attitudes of those fellows, she lightly smiled, but her words weren't polite in the slightest. "My Great Havenlaw Domain wants half of the Divine Pavilion's territory and treasury."
Half?!
Hearing Mandala's words, the faces of the Myriad Saint Ancestor and the rest slightly changed.
If that's the case, then the other peak forces could only split the other half of the Divine Pavilion?
If that's the case, then they wouldn't even get 10% …
Mu Chen and Jiu You inwardly smacked their lips. Half of the Divine Pavilion's treasury probably wouldn't be less than 10,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, a terrifying sum that could make the Great Heaven Domain fat.
Furthermore.
Half of the Divine Pavilion's territory was even more than the entire territory of the Great Heaven Domain. If the Great Heaven Domain were to devour it, they would definitely become the strongest force in the Northern Region.
"Great Havenlaw Ruler.
Isn't your appetite a little too thick? "The Netherworld Palace Master frowned his brows as he solemnly said.
"Everyone.
Do you guys need me to clarify the rules of the Northern Region? "Mandala ignored the questioning gazes of the five Earth Sovereigns.
He didn't care at all and said indifferently.
In the Northern Region, the strong reigned supreme.
The strong reigned supreme, and whoever had the bigger fist would get a bigger share of the cake. In the past, the various peak forces had also used this as a benchmark. But now, the Great Havenlaw Domain had replaced the Divine Pavilion as the strongest force in the Northern Region. So they naturally had the qualifications to obtain the biggest share of the cake.
The Myriad Saint Ancestor and the other four Sovereigns fell silent upon hearing his words. However, there was still some reluctance in their eyes.
"Everyone, you guys don't have to be so anxious. I still have something to discuss with you guys." Looking at the five Earth Sovereigns, Mandala smiled once again.
"What is it?"
Mandala raised her eyelids as she continued, "I intend to form an alliance with you guys."
"An alliance?"
The faces of the five Earth Sovereigns changed and they couldn't help sneering, "Why?
Could it be that the Great Havenlaw Ruler intends to learn from the Divine Pavilion Master?
You want to unify the Northern Region? "
Mandala flung her lips in disdain. "I don't have the time to do such boring things."
Hearing her words, the five Earth Sovereigns felt inwardly relieved. If Mandala was really going to imitate the Divine Pavilion Master, then the Northern Region would definitely be in an uproar. At that time, even peak forces like them wouldn't have the confidence to get through it.
Mandala flicked her finger and the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid appeared in a flash as she faintly said, "You guys should know that this Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid can sense the location of the Ancient Haven Palace …"
"But I believe that you guys should know that the moment a ruin like the Ancient Haven Palace appears, it will definitely be an earth-shattering event. At that time, I'm afraid that all the peak forces in the Greatlaw Continent will flock over. So my Great Heaven Domain still doesn't have the ability to eat this cake …"
When Mandala finished her words, the hearts of the five Earth Sovereigns jolted and light blossomed in their eyes. Their eyes were boiling as they looked at Mandala.
Mandala faintly smiled, "That's why I want to form an alliance with all of you. When I find the ruins of the Ancient Haven Palace, we can work together. In this way, we can share the benefits of the Ancient Haven Palace equally …"
"I wonder, what do you guys think of my suggestion?"
When Mandala finished her words, the eyes of the five Earth Sovereigns had turned red as they fixed their eyes on Mandala and said with disbelief, "You're actually allowing us to have a share?"
How great of an opportunity was the Ancient Haven Palace?
Ordinary Earth Sovereigns probably wouldn't be able to obtain it, but right now, Mandala was actually willing to share it with them?
"Although it's a good opportunity, we have to know our limits. My Great Heaven Domain is still not powerful enough to devour the Ancient Haven Palace alone."
Mandala smiled. Their Northern Region was only a corner of the Greatlaw Continent. So just their Great Heaven Domain alone wasn't qualified to compete with the peak forces in the Greatlaw Continent. Thus, she needed to rope in the peak forces in the Northern Region so that they could confront the peak forces in the Greatlaw Continent.
"So?
Are you guys interested in my suggestion? "Mandala asked again.
When the Earth Sovereigns heard her words, they exchanged a glance and clenched their teeth, before saying without any hesitation, "As long as the Great Havenlaw Ruler is willing to share a share with us, we will definitely do our best to help you!"
When Mandala heard their words, she gently smiled and nodded her head in satisfaction. "That's settled, then … furthermore, what about the distribution of the Divine Pavilion?"
"We'll do as the Great Havenlaw Ruler says!"
The Earth Sovereigns decisively said without any unwillingness. Compared to the Ancient Haven Palace, the treasury of the Divine Pavilion wasn't even worth mentioning!
"Thank you very much."
When Mu Chen saw Mandala and the rest deciding the fate of the Divine Pavilion with a simple conversation, he felt a little speechless. He had personally witnessed the authority of an Earth Sovereign powerhouse. Even something as powerful as the Divine Pavilion Master would be like a ferocious tiger turning into a fat sheep the moment the Divine Pavilion Master died. They would be instantly torn apart without any resistance, which was a cruelty that made others sigh.
At the same time, it had also made Mu Chen's heart gradually tremble. It looked like his strength was still too lacking and he still had a long way to go. But he still believed that one day, he would possess such strength as well.
However, he still needed time.
Huff.
Mu Chen raised his head and deeply breathed out a mouthful of white mist. But no matter what, the Hunting War had finally come to an end. But what made everyone rejoice was that their Great Havenlaw Domain still stood tall in the Northern Region after this battle.
Furthermore, it would only grow stronger in the future!
