Chapter 904 - Captured

Humm!

Ear-piercing humming noises rang out from the massive valley. When the humming noises resounded, billows also came from the massive army stationed outside the valley. Thereafter, several figures flashed out, swiftly entering the valley after they had clearly received orders.

Mu Chen's party, which had just arrived, also had a slight change in their expressions. What was going on with that emergency signal?

"Mountain Splitting King, you guys come in first." Just when the countenances of Mu Chen and the rest were changing, a robust voice resounded from the valley. The voice belonged to the Asura King.

"Let's go!"

Mu Chen, Nine Nether and the Kings did not dare to delay and had swiftly stationed their troops outside the valley, before turning into streaks of light and entered the valley. When those troops stationed outside the valley saw their arrival, they had immediately opened a path for them.

Whoosh!

Mu Chen's party entered the valley and appeared in the depths of it in a few breaths' time. On a towering stone stage in the depths of the valley, there were many figures with the silhouettes of Asura King and the various other Kings in the middle.

However, the atmosphere in the valley was somewhat tense and the countenances of the Kings were a little dark.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether exchanged a glance, then swiftly descended and cupped their hands towards the Asura King.

"You guys have finally come." The Asura King looked at the arriving party and his face, which was a little tense, had slightly eased up.

"Asura King, what's going on?" The Mountain Splitting King looked at the Asura King, who was the most prestigious amongst the Kings, as he questioned with furrowed brows.

The Asura King's face was dark. He waved his sleeve and a mirror flew from it. A dazzling light shone from it into the sky and formed into a light mirror. At this moment, there was a violent Spiritual Energy soaring into the horizon from within the mirror and massive steaks of light flew across.

That seemed to be the confrontation of two parties. In one party, there was a silhouette that wore a set of ice armour and a cold air was spreading out into the sky, causing the temperature to descend. That party also had a snowflake flag.

"It's the Glacier King!"

When the Mountain Splitting King and the rest saw the snowflake symbol, their faces froze. It was the flag of the Glacier King of their Great Havenlaw Domain. Which also meant that it was the Glacier King's troop.

"The one obstructing the Glacier King…" Mu Chen's gaze had fixed onto another direction in the mirror. Black clouds surged, emanating an eerie aura and a skull-symbolled flag, the Netherworld Palace!

"It's the Netherworld Palace!" The countenance of the Spiritual Sword King changed. The Glacier King was obstructed by the Netherworld Palace.

Mu Chen stared at the Netherworld Palace and saw a silhouette slowly walking out from the surging black clouds. That silhouette was covered in a black robe and an eerie aura was emanating from him.

He slowly raised his head, which revealed narrowed and eerie eyes, and was looking at the troops of the Glacier Palace with a mocking smile hanging on the corner of his lips and then lifted his hand.

Boom!

A dreadful Battle Will swept out from the black clouds at his rear, forming into a black skull that was a few thousand feet in size that was filled with densely-packed runes.

Roar!

The skull opened its mouth and emitted a ghastly voice. The black sound wave violently swept out, causing the earth to crack in its path and the surrounding peaks instantly levelled to the ground…

Amongst the Glacier Palace's troop, there were several Commanders with talent in Battle Will that swiftly acted and controlled the Battle Will into a force that swept out as well.

Boom! Boom!

But due to the great difference between the two, the cold Battle Will force had straightforwardly crumbled upon contact.

Poof!

The few Commanders of the Glacier Palace suffered a great impact while spurting mouthfuls of blood. Even amongst the Glacier Palace's troop, there were many warriors that spewed blood while suffering from the impact.

Facing the heavily-wounded Glacier Palace, the black-robed man still acted without any leniency and the ferocious attack swept out once again, directly forcing the Glacier Palace to retreat. There were warriors constantly suffering from their vitality being crushed as they fell from the sky.

In just a few minutes of the confrontation, the Glacier Palace had already suffered heavy casualties, even the Glacier Troop had been utterly defeated.

What happened after that was basically a one-sided battle. When the Glacier Troop could no longer hold on, a streak of light flew out towards the black-robed man, launching an all-out attack that even split the sky apart.

Such a terrifying attack was naturally from the Glacier King, who had been holding back for a long time!

However, his attack did not obtain the outcome that he had expected. In that moment, when he charged out, four black figures rushed out from the Netherworld Palace's faction and the four of them all acted at the same time. Boundless Spiritual Energy tore through space and clashed with the Glacier King.

Poof! Poof!

The four of them weren't any weaker than the Glacier King. So when the four of them attacked together, it was only a single contact that made the Glacier King spew blood and sent him flying with traces of blood appearing on his body.

After heavily injuring the Glacier King, the four of them grabbed and captured the Glacier King, whose death was still unknown.

When the Glacier Troop saw that the Glacier King was captured, they had lost their morale and their Battle Will diminished as they started to flee. When the black-robed figure saw this scene, a cruel arc rose on the corner of his lips and he waved his hand with an eerie voice that resounded in the horizon.

"Kill all of them!"

The troops behind him whistled out like locusts and became a one-sided slaughter. Thousands upon thousands of warriors of the Glacier Palace were completely slaughtered with only a few that managed to flee for their lives.

This slaughter had dyed the entire land red and the black-robed figure stood in the sky with several fainted Commanders of the Glacier King bedside him. He made a sinister smile as he stretched out his finger and came in contact with the centre of their brows. Instantly, the Commanders all revealed painful and distorted expressions. Their faces turned even more pale, as if their vitality had been extracted from their bodies.

In just a few breaths' time, the bodies of those few Commanders had turned stiff, then were casually thrown away by the black-robed man, before he raised his head and looked in the direction of the mirror, before his eerie voice resounded, "Three days from now, my Netherworld Palace will open a gathering in the Bones Mountain Range. At that time, I must invite the Great Havenlaw Domain's presence. Otherwise, I will execute the Glacier King before every force…"

As he spoke, he briefly paused, before the savage smile on his face grew even denser. "And that brat called Mu Chen of the Great Havenlaw Domain. You must come, I believe your will would be very delicious…"

The black-robed man's eerie laughter resounded within the mountain range as the scene disappeared. The Asura King held a cold expression as he waved his hand and shattered that bronze mirror.

In the valley, the countenances of the other Kings were all dark with rage surging in their eyes. The Netherworld Palace had stepped on the heads of their Great Havenlaw Domain!

The faces of Mu Chen and Nine Nether were unsightly as well. The Netherworld Palace was truly too overbearing. Not only were their means ruthless, they still sent such a message to the Great Havenlaw Domain. It was clearly meant to slap their faces.

"That person is Lin Ming of the Netherworld Palace, who had gotten pretty famous recently. He's also a Battle Formation Master." The Asura King spoke in a low voice, causing the other Kings to squint their eyes. Clearly, they had heard of that name a lot recently.

With the power of Battle Will, even a Sixth Grade Sovereign would have a hard time confronting Lin Ming.

Mu Chen squinted his eyes. Previously, when Lin Ming attacked, he had already confirmed his identity. There were over ten thousand runes on that black skull, so it had clearly proven that Lin Ming had, indeed, become a Ten Thousand Rune Battle Formation Master.

"What do the rest of you think?" The Asura King looked at the other Kings as he asked, "The Netherworld Palace is going to host some gathering, and I've heard that many forces have been invited. The Glacier King is also in their hands, and if they kill the Glacier King before the other forces, it's the same as putting dirt on our faces. Since the final battle is arriving, it will greatly demoralise our forces."

"Are we going to the Bones Mountain Range to rescue the Glacier King?" The Spiritual Sword King briefly pondered as he continued, "I'm just afraid that the Netherworld Palace will set a trap for us."

"Could it be that his Netherworld Palace is intending to fight our Great Havenlaw Domain to the death?" The Blood Hawk King asked with his brows furrowed.

"Better safe than sorry."

"If the Glacier King is killed, it will undoubtedly blacken our face, and I'm afraid that even the Domain Lord will be furious as well."

"……"

The Asura King looked at the Kings who all had different opinions. He frowned his brows as he looked at the Mountain Splitting King. Amongst the Kings in the Great Havenlaw Domain, aside from him, the prestige of the Mountain Splitting King was the highest so the Asura King had sought his opinion. "What does the Mountain Splitting King think?"

The Mountain Splitting King pondered, then couldn't help looking at Mu Chen. "What does King Mu suggest?"

When the Asura King and the other Kings saw the Mountain Splitting King's actions, they couldn't help being stunned. Before the Hunting War, despite Mu Chen becoming the youngest King with the King's Ceremony, his strength had barely just reached the foothold of becoming a King. So in the eyes of the other Kings, he was ranked towards the end.

But right now, the Mountain Splitting King was being so courteous and sought Mu Chen's opinion. And there was also some respect in his attitude, which made the higher hierarchy of the Great Havenlaw Domain to be somewhat astonished.

"Haha. Don't belittle King Mu, he's now a Battle Formation Master of our Great Havenlaw Domain. Even Zhantai Liuli has suffered losses in his hand." Sensing the gazes of the others, the Mountain Splitting King couldn't help smiling.

"Oh?"

Hearing such words, even the Asura King had shock on his face as he looked at Mu Chen with a grave expression. He understood the capability that a Battle Formation Master possessed.

"What does King Mu think about this, then?" The Asura King smiled towards Mu Chen. His expression had turned more courteous, no longer the underestimation that he had due to Mu Chen's experience and age.

Mu Chen nodded his head politely towards the Asura King, then swept a glance at everyone before calmly speaking.

"I suggest for us to rescue the Glacier King."
