Mystic Scribe Challenge (8)

"Then with this we have finished the promise, our Divine Dream Holyland will now move out!"

As Gong Xiaoling said that she gave a secret nod to Mu Chen with a smile and left along with her group

"Haha! Now our luck seems to be quite good! We have recovered our loss! There are still two more artifacts left"

Qin Liwei commented with a relieved sigh and Gong Xiaoling also nodded with a smile

"Indeed! Divine Dream Holyland really helped us out this time, they could have formed an alliance with Sacred Star Academy too but they saved our face, it's nice having such friends and rivals in life"

"It's as you say disciple sister"

"Right"

Yuan Zhu and Qin Liwei also nodded with warm eyes but Mu Chen just scoffed in his heart as he recalled the memory from a few days ago

'Friendly rival my ass... The time when we ambush Divine Dream Holyland before punching Hou Yanqi I have given her proposal of supporting Divine Dream Holyland win this round and next round

I have done my research well, from the past few times Divine Dream Holyland isn't showing big results, those results were also reason for conflict with our Holyland so practically they had no choice but to agree

I think I have almost done my deal for this trial and for next round winning with our capability is really impossible, even Divination Sage Shen Qiqiang seems to think so, basically I created a web and you all are following it from the start'

Mu Chen scoffed in heart and with a smile stated

"Well we learn from mistakes and form bonds with others haha! Isn't that right sister Gong Xiaoling?"

Gong Xiaoling nodded and after taking deep breath she commanded

"As Brother Mu Chen said! In the past because of Brother Hao Meng's greed we lost everything! Now there is no time to be so greedy, let's just focus on gaining more artifacts and retreat"

"Senior Sister Gong Xiaoling is indeed wise"

"Well Disciple Sister is right on this one"

"Mhm"

Everyone nodded at her words with smiles and proper satisfaction but on celebration they forgot to notice Hao Meng's shining cold eyes watching them from distance

'You all planned this all from the start didn't you! To exclude me from victory these bastards! Unforgivable! I don't accept it! Until I, Hao Meng am alive I won't forget this humiliation! All the schemes you have put in here! I will destroy it!!!'

'What a coincidence... I have similar thoughts...'

Mu Chen grinned with cold glint in his eyes, but decided to ignore him for now to have him as a dessert after dinner for another time

It took them about two days to reach the next location for the artifact they have wanted to get, it was on dead last place from their location and then used almost the whole day to recover their energies and rest before the last fight

From information gained from Hou Yanqi's Artifact Master previously the artifacts discovered till now possess properties of Gold, Wood and Fire, so just Water and Earth have remained

The mystery of locations had already been solved long ago, but Mu Chen's group who had no artifact master had a lot of trouble keeping up with others

"Then let's get started"

Gong Xiaoling took the lead again and along with everyone she stood in front of one giant pond with various stones in the middle of it

Gong Xiaoling signalled Mu Chen, Mu Chen just nodded and formed a huge array flat on ground as he did that the pond started to freeze up

"Raaaawwwwgggghhhh!!!"

And the next moment suddenly a huge blue haired silver dragon rushed out of the pond

"It's as Sister Hou Yanqi said! This is the guardian!"

Gong Xiaoling smirked and next Gong Xiaoling formed a sign from her arms while chanting some mystical words and as she did that Mu Chen and all others felt their minds visibly might and sudden rise of vitality

*Celestial Voice Technique*

"This took a whole day to prepare! Now the results!!!"

As Gong Xiaoling said her words her voice seemed to dip in honey, as she commanded everyone's energy and strength seemed to be increasing immensely

"Ha!!!"

"With this! Water Dragon isn't a problem!!!"

With her lead everyone rushed over the dragon while not much far from them Hao Meng was seen grinning

'I will take the right moment and rush into the pond and grab the real artifact! Then you have no choice but to acknowledge me!'

Hao Meng waited and waited and just as the dragon was about to be finished he immediately rushed, but Gong Xiaoling noticed him

"Hao Meng! What are you doing!?!"

"Wha-!?"

Everyone was surprised and next moment Hao Meng shouted

"I'm the leader! Don't forget it! You think I won't be able to see through your plans hahahaha! I will let you know why I'm the Core Disciple! Hahahahaha!!!"

As he was rushing like a madman Mu Chen's last strike landed over the head of a dragon completely destroying its mind as it collided with stone cliffs besides it

*Serene Lotus Palm!!!*

Mu Chen's gaze suddenly moved towards Hao Meng and a dark frown flashed on his face

'A Mind Manipulation Technique!? That isn't what I wanted but still within the prediction...'

"Sister Gong Xiaoling~ why is he acting so 'crazy' like this~ his 'mentality' seems a little weak~"

Mu Chen intentionally placed his few words higher but not to much noticeable level, Gong Xiaoling also moved her head and noticed Hao Meng's eyes were completely blank without a light, as soon as she realised that she immediately shouted

"He isn't in his right mind! Someone has cast illusion on him! He is under a mental spell!!!"

By the time she finished her words Mu Chen smirked and arrived right in front of the face of Hao Meng and grabbed him by face

"I told you last time didn't I? If you act crazy again I will cripple you before destroying others"

As Mu Chen said that he immediately grabbed Hao Meng's both hands and crippled it followed by a swift neck snap that turned him into light particles eliminating him from the place

'Didn't even hesitate!?'

'Was he waiting for this whole time!!!'

'Kinda satisfying~'
