Chapter 700: Great Hunt

Chapter 699 - Great Hunt

Nine Nether Palace

When the competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond came to an end, the Nine Nether Palace was undoubtedly filled with cheers. Everyone in the Nine Nether Palace had excited expressions on their faces. All this time, when Nine Nether went missing, the Nine Nether Palace’s position in the Great Havenlaw Domain had been falling. The other factions had also suppressed them, so they could only swallow their grievances and retreat time and time again.

But fortunately, their wait wasn’t in vain.

Nine Nether returned stronger than ever, and the new Domain Lord had also displayed impressive strength and temperament. Not only did he defeated Cao Feng and seized the qualification for the Goldpond, but he had also even refined the Daluo Golden Body that no one could achieve before, raising a quake amongst the experts in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

After this matter, probably no one in the Great Havenlaw Domain would belittle their Nine Nether Palace ever again.

…

Before a massive hall in the Nine Nether Palace, Nine Nether leaned against a pillar, looking at the Nine Nether Palace, which was filled with cheers. Her rosy lips gently lifted into a gentle smile.

“It’s all thanks to you, this time.” Nine Nether turned her head as she smiled towards Mu Chen, who was standing by her side.

Although her return had given the Nine Nether Palace energy once again, she could not act out directly due to the rules in the Great Havenlaw Domain. Therefore, Mu Chen’s performance this time around had given the Nine Nether Palace new vitality, letting the people in the Nine Nether Palace to gradually have confidence in it.

“It’s my honour to serve the Lord.” Mu Chen joked.

Nine Nether lifted her rosy lips as her cool expression turned somewhat gentle. There was a light circulating in her slender eyes that made her seem exceptionally charming.

“But now that you’re in the limelight, you must be cautious. The Blood Hawk King is a narrow-minded person, an eye for an eye. I am not afraid of him, but you should be careful about him laying his hands on you in the dark.” Nine Nether suddenly said with her eyes narrowed.

Mu Chen nodded his head, then paused for a brief moment and inquired shortly after, “What is the Great Hunt about that Lord Sky Vulture Emperor mentioned today?”

Hearing the words “the Great Hunt”, Nine Nether narrowed her eyes as well. Her expression turned more solemn and remained silent for a brief moment, before slowly saying, “It’s a cruel battle that bears upon all the forces in the Northern Region of the Greatlaw Continent.”

Mu Chen was slightly startled. He now knew that the Greatlaw Continent was split into North, South, East and West regions. Their Great Havenlaw Domain resided in the Northern Region.

In the Northern Region, there were forces of various sizes, even pinnacle forces similar to their Great Havenlaw Domain exceeded the count of one hand, with experts as many as the clouds.

The so-called “Great Hunt” was so terrifying that it affected all the forces in the Northern Realm? How frightening would that scale be?

“There will be countless forces disappearing during every single Great Hunt, even some pinnacle forces might suffer heavy impacts. In the hundreds of thousands of years, there were pinnacle forces that fell in the Great Hunt and were nibbled up by others, becoming the ashes of history.” Nine Nether softly said.

Mu Chen’s face couldn’t help changing as he asked, “Why?”

His question was naturally asking why would a cruel war of such a terrifying scale take place.

“Because of territories, resources and ambitions.” Nine Nether faintly said.

“In the few thousand years of the Northern Region, outstanding individuals were rising up. But there wasn’t anyone that could become the Overlord of the Northern Region. However, the ambition was never laid to rest. Thus, the Great Hunt was born.”

“In the previous Great Hunt, amongst the ten major forces of the Northern Region, four were swallowed up by the six remaining major powers at the end of it.”

Mu Chen’s heart shook. Four pinnacle forces defeated… With just these few words alone, he could feel the reeking blood and cruelty of it. God-knows how many experts would fall from a war of such a scale.

Although he wasn’t sure how powerful those four pinnacle forces were, they couldn’t be that weak, judging from the power of the Great Havenlaw Domain. Otherwise, the title of pinnacle forces would not fall onto them.

Judging from a pinnacle force like the Great Havenlaw Domain, if it was in the Northern Heavens Continent, it was sufficient to claim the Overlord title over it. But placed here, there were risks of destruction.

One could tell from that how cruel the war in the Northern Region was.

“Every single Great Hunt would reshuffle the forces in the Northern Region. The winner would get stronger, while the loser would lose everything. No one is excluded, since it is the rules of the Northern Region. Unless… a true Overlord appears in the Northern Region.”

Mu Chen slowly spat out an icy breath that rose in his chest. From Nine Nether’s words, he felt the cruelty of the Great Thousand World for the first time. This was no longer the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. The rules of the strong preying on the weak was even more thorough here.

Even pinnacle forces like the Great Havenlaw Domain would face much danger. If it had slightly declined, it would probably be torn apart by those preying wolves.

The Great Hunt of the Northern Region was undoubtedly a cruel elimination of natural selection. The elimination would continue until a true Overlord appeared in this vast continent.

“Thus, if one wants to survive in the Greatlaw Continent, one has to rely on a force. Otherwise, it would be a disastrous situation when being eyed upon,” said Nine Nether.

Mu Chen nodded his head. That was the fact. In such a place where rules and regulations were lacking, without any support behind them, it would be tough to move a single step. But, fortunately, he could be considered as having joined the Great Havenlaw Domain. As long as the Great Havenlaw Domain wasn’t annihilated, he could depend on it. Thus, he also had to pray that the Great Havenlaw Domain would not be destroyed in this Great Hunt.

“But you don’t have to be too worried about it. There is still some time before the Great Hunt. Also, it’s useless to worry about this kind of thing.” Nine Nether smiled.

Mu Chen bitterly smiled. Kt was a fact that he could only watch from the side with his current strength, in regards to a battle of such a scale. The decisive power lied in the upper levels.

Take the mysterious Domain Ruler of their Great Havenlaw Domain, for example.

“Right now, we have to focus on the things before us.” Nine Nether slightly smiled as a chill rose in her gorgeous eyes. “The Blood Hawk King suffered a loss this round, and he will definitely not let this matter rest so easily. Also, we of the Nine Nether Palace have to take back those that belonged to us. When the Great Hunt starts, our Nine Nether Palace will definitely participate, so we have to strengthen ourselves. Otherwise, we will be devoured by others in a single gulp.”

“I also want to see the capability of the Blood Hawk Hall.”

Mu Chen nodded his head, during the years when Nine Nether wasn’t around, many territories that once belonged to the Nine Nether Palace were devoured and occupied by the Blood Hawk Hall. This had also made their Nine Nether Palace into a laughing stock. After all, a King that could not even protect her own territories was indeed a running joke.

However, Mu Chen would make them unable to laugh. Because coming right up, he would take back all those things that once belonged to their Nine Nether Palace!

Nine Nether gently nodded her head, and her eyes narrowed just when she was about to speak. She was stunned as she looked behind Mu Chen and asked in astonishment, “Who is she?”

Mu Chen was first stunned to hear her words, and felt his scalp numbing after that. He slowly turned around and saw a little girl donned in black clothes quietly seated on the railing. Her fair legs were gently swaying and she was silently looked at Mu Chen with her pair of golden eyes.

That little girl was the one that Mu Chen met down in the Greatlaw Goldpond. Except that when they left the Greatlaw Goldpond, she disappeared. He never imagined that she would appear so mysteriously without any noise…

Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen, who had a slightly ugly expression on his face. She slightly narrowed her eyes, since she had clearly felt that something wasn’t right. The way the little girl showed herself was too strange, even she could not feel a thing.

Spiritual Energy silently surged in Nine Nether’s body as a strand of purple flame appeared on her slender arm.

The little girl named Mandala indifferently cast a glance at Nine Nether with her golden eyes.

Mu Chen immediately stood before Nine Nether and obstructed her. He was well-aware about how terrifying the little girl before him was, and Nine Nether definitely wasn’t her opponent.

“She’s called Mandala…” said Mu Chen.

“You know her?” Nine Nether was slightly stunned and was a little astonished.

Mu Chen hesitated for a brief moment, before he decided to explain the origin of the little girl, in the end.

Nine Nether couldn’t help widening her eyes as she looked at the black-clothed little girl with shock. Clearly, she couldn’t imagine that the little girl had been in a deep slumber at a depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond. Furthermore, not even the three Emperors, as well as the Domain Ruler of their Great Havelaw Domain, had realised her existence.

Just what sort of monster is that little girl?

Nine Nether slightly knitted her brows as she cast a glance with alertness and fear at the little girl, pondering in her heart if she should report this matter to the Sky Vulture Emperor.

“Don’t divulge into my matters. Otherwise, not even those three fellows could save you.” But when that thought had just flashed across her heart, the little girl named Mandala said in an indifferent voice. Her voice was somewhat young and tinkling, but the indifference held in her voice would make others feel a chill in their hearts.

Nine Nether’s face slightly changed as she stared at Mandala and slowly said, “Who are you?”

The little girl stood up from the railing, her jet-black hair fluttering in the wind. An arc rose on her face as she said, “Rest assured, if I truly had any thoughts about you guys, you wouldn’t be able to stop me.”

Mu Chen helplessly shrugged his shoulders when he realised that what she said was indeed correct. With her fearsome strength, if she had the intention to kill, no one would be able to stop her.

Nine Nether cast a deep glance at the little girl as she asked, “Why are you following Mu Chen?”

The little girl slightly crooked her head as she glanced at Mu Chen. Shortly after, her feet tapped and flew towards the latter. At the sight of this, Mu Chen could only bitterly smile as he stretched out his hand and receive her in his embrace.

Mandala comfortably laid in Mu Chen’s embrace with her face stuck on Mu Chen’s chest. Her golden eyes that made others felt heart-alarming were slowly closing as the indifference contained in her voice weakened.

“Because I want him to hug me to sleep.”

Before closing her eyes, the little girl lifted her lips and her young voice rang out. But when she spoke, she made Nine Nether’s brows uncontrollably twitch.
