Chapter 194: Chapter 75: Promotion, Soul Master of the Eight Thoughts
Translator: 549690339
Dawn broke, dispelling the darkest moment.
The first morning light fell, but it did not sparkle on the dewdrops in the Yang Family’s courtyard pots as before, but on the strips of shocking blood red…
This dawn also witnessed the greatest change in Gangluo City in decades. The most powerful Yang Family’s corpses were everywhere overnight, blood flowed into rivers, leaving only less than a hundred elderly, weak, women and children trembling in the bloodbath. Some escaped or fled, and the former City Lord Mansion became the Blood Slaughter land.
However, the Chu Family, one of the Four Great Families in Gangluo City, also disappeared overnight. No one noticed when the family left, just like evaporating all of a sudden, leaving only the messy hoofprints towards the east…
There are two roads to the east of Gangluo City, one leading to the northeast Jia Domain, and the other passing through Gray Rock City, which is also the road where Chu Mu “robbed” the Yang Family’s property.
On the road to Jia Domain, Chu Mu rode the Night Thunder Dream Beast, constantly stepping on various messy hoofprints…
“Is it almost done?” Chu Mu turned his head and looked at the traces on the road. Then, he raised his head and looked at the somewhat dense dark clouds.
Chu Mu only wanted to see when it would rain, but he accidentally found a fiery red creature flying from Gangluo City.
The red creature slowly approached Chu Mu and slowly landed in front of him.
Chu Mu recognized this creature, of course, it was Qin Meng’er’s Flame Bird. And the one riding this Flame Bird was the soft and charming Qin Meng’er herself.
Chu Mu looked at Qin Meng’er and just grinned, asking, “What’s the matter?” “Are you going to leave here?” Qin Meng’er’s gaze flickered. She had learned
trom cnu IVIu Derore tnat arter aeanng witn tne yang Family, ne would leave. AS soon as the bloodshed ended, Qin Meng’er immediately went to the Chu Family, but found that the Chu Family had disappeared. So, she followed the hoofprints to the east.
“Yeah, there’s still a lot to be done.” Chu Mu said.
Chu Mu had already learned some news about his father from Chu Tianheng and Chu Ming. However, Chu Mu couldn’t go find his father for now because the Nightmare Demon Palace had sent people to send him a message to go to Jia Domain to meet with Princess Jin Rou who was traveling with Jin Rou.
In order to buy enough migration time for the Chu Family, Chu Mu could not openly defy the intention of the Nightmare Demon Palace for now. Therefore, Chu Mu must also go to Jia Domain to find the Nightmare Demon Palace’s Princess Jin Rou.
“Then…what about us…how can I find you…” Qin Meng’er’s eyes had become watery when she spoke. As long as her emotions were not well controlled, her tears would fall.
“You don’t have to. Just concentrate on your cultivation in LuoYumen. Gangluo
City will also belong to your Qin Family…” Chu Mu looked at the pitiful Qin Meng’er. In fact, Chu Mu’s feelings for Qin Meng’er were largely in line with his love for his younger sister, without any additional emotions mixed in. As for the marriage contract, it had long been abolished, but Qin Meng’er still cared about it…
In Chu Mu’s view, after the family’s migration, he and Qin Meng’er would probably not have any intersection unless she was willing to follow her family to the South Domain now. Qin Meng’er already had a certain position in LuoYumen and was at a good time to improve her strength. It was expected that even if Qin Meng’er was willing to follow the Chu Family, her family would not agree.
“Why isn’t it necessary…” Qin Meng’er felt that Chu Mu didn’t seem to care about her, so her tears immediately slid down, and she looked extremely wronged.
“I won’t stay here, and if there’s a chance later…well, let’s talk about that later.” Chu Mu reached out to wipe away the tears from the poor girl’s eyes.
Qin Meng’er looked at Chu Mu with teary eyes and whispered, “I have something to tell you…”
“We’ll talk about that next time, there’s no need to say it now.” Chu Mu shook his head, glanced at the surrounding tree shadows flashing in the woods.
Chu Mu had already driven away the killers from the Nightmare Demon Palace. Those killers were Xia Guanghan’s men, and Chu Mu did not want their whereabouts to be revealed to them. Now, if Qin Meng’er continued to entangle with him, once he escaped Xia Guanghan’s pursuit, Qin Meng’er would probably become Xia Guanghan’s target…
Qin Meng’er stared blankly at Chu Mu, who had ridden the Night Thunder Dream Beast and left in the dust. A sense of sourness surged in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes, hot and sliding down her face…
At this moment, it felt like four years ago when she hesitated and didn’t say anything, wanting to find the right time to tell him those words. Yet, once he turned around, he disappeared from her life forever…
On the empty road, Chu Mu rode on the Night Thunder Dream Beast alone, heading towards Jia Domain. The emotionally unintelligent him didn’t seem to notice the tearful girl behind him…
His four-year experience of killings had clearly dulled his intuition in this regard. However, even if Chu Mu had sensed it, he could have only given Qin Meng’er a promise at best – an empty one. Instead of creating complications, it was better to wait until they could meet again in the future to consider such matters.
Gangluo City was located in the northeast of Luo region. After passing a few cities and crossing the final border, they would reach Jia Domain.
After running non-stop for an entire night, Chu Mu was exhausted and decided to stay at a random small town along the way.
As usual, at nightfall, after Chu Mu fed his soul power to the White Nightmare Demon, he immediately felt the white demonic flames burning on his body…
Chu Mu immediately furrowed his eyebrows. The inexplicable burning of the white soul demon flames signified that the strength of the White Nightmare Demon had increased by one stage, which also meant that Chu Mu would have to bear more pain from the burning of the white soul flames as the demon grew…
This kind of pain was unbearable to ordinary people, leaving them wishing for death. However, after many years of tempering, Chu Mu was already somewhat immune to the white demonic flames, gradually reducing the pain he experienced.
“Level 6, stage 5…” Chu Mu showed a bitter smile when the white demonic flames began to subside. At the fifth stage of level 6, Chu Mu had to feed most of his soul power to the White Nightmare Demon…
When Chu Mu reached the Seventh-Thought Soul Master, he gradually gained control of around 40% of his soul power. However, with the White Nightmare Demon’s growth, Chu Mu was afraid his control would be reduced to only 30% of his soul power.
With a helpless shake of his head, Chu Mu closed his eyes and began meditating, letting his soul power recover quickly…
What delighted Chu Mu was that when he had just recovered half of his soul power, he suddenly felt a sense of relief all over his body, which seemed to be an increase in his soul sense!!
“I’ve advanced!” Chu Mu felt overjoyed, never expecting that after annihilating Yang Family, he would have reached the level of Eight-Thought Soul Master!
A soul pet master’s true strength relies heavily on the soul pets they control, while their own cultivation is secondary. However, in reality, many soul pet skills are affected by the soul pet master’s cultivation, gaining a certain degree of amplification.
For example, MO Ye’s Evil Eye Gaze’s power is determined by MO Ye’s spirit and Chu Mu’s soul sense. As long as the opponent’s soul pet master has a lower soul sense than Chu Mu, the Evil Eye Gaze would have a significant effect on the opponent’s soul pet. Conversely, when the opponent’s soul pet master has a higher soul sense than Chu Mu, the effect of MO Ye’s Evil Eye Gaze on the opponent’s soul pet would be greatly reduced.
Chu Mu also possesses the soul skill – Charming Pet, which allows him to copy his soul pet’s abilities. The power of the copied abilities depends on Chu Mu’s soul sense and skill level!
Being an Eight-Thought Soul Master was considered a first-rate powerhouse in Luo region, and among the younger generation, very few had a higher cultivation than Chu Mu.
Chu Mu’s cultivation speed was extremely fast, especially in the past four years since he had signed a soul contract with the White Nightmare Demon. As the White Nightmare Demon continuously devoured Chu Mu’s soul power, when Chu Mu’s soul power was insufficient, it would consume his soul. This constant pursuit and whipping stimulated Chu Mu to fully tap into his potential for cultivation. By the age of eighteen, Chu Mu had become an Eight-Thought Soul Master, which was extremely rare even in the Nightmare Demon Palace.
“Only two more to go. Although the progress will slow down, I will definitely reach the Soul Lord Level…” Chu Mu’s face showed confidence with a smile.
Upon reaching the Soul Lord level, Chu Mu could summon three soul pets. Possessing three soul pets would not put him at a disadvantage when battling other soul masters.
More importantly, when Chu Mu reached the Soul Lord level, he could summon the terrifying Monarch White Nightmare Demon that he had been nurturing for four years!
According to Chu Mu’s estimation, the Monarch White Nightmare Demon’s combat power was even higher than that of the unmutated MO Ye, and by then, the White Nightmare Demon might already be at Level 7.
A terrifying Monarch at Level 7, if summoned, Chu Mu’s strength might not be limited to the younger generation. Many soul pet masters would not be able to face him head-on.
In addition, Chu Mu’s space ring still hid a Zhe Dragon egg, which was also likely a Monarch-level creature. Once he reached the Soul Lord level, Chu Mu could focus on cultivating this powerful offspring of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon.
Upon reaching the Eight-Thought level, Chu Mu’s perception also became stronger. Chu Mu released his soul sense to see how far he could perceive his surroundings…
Chu Mu initially tested his stronger soul sense but suddenly caught a faint energy fluctuation. This fluctuation came from the house he stayed in, and someone seemed to be stealthily approaching his room!!
