Translator: 549690339
The white-clothed guard’s words were cold and indifferent, and though they weren’t loud, they were heard by everyone in the stone hall.
“You…what kind of words are those?!” Suddenly, Chu Qian, whose face still had tear stains, was enraged. Her face was flushed red, and her eyes stared angrily at the white-clothed guard!
“Hmph, just mocking words. Clearly because you think you’re inferior and can’t beat Chu Mu, so you hope he disappears sooner. If you really have the ability, why not fight Chu Mu? I’ve never seen someone so shameless, staring like that! Just because you’re a princess’s guard, do you think you’re amazing?” Chu Qian too was enraged, putting her hands on her waist and cursing the white-clothed guard!
The eyes of the Chu family youth immediately turned to Chu Qian and Chu Qian, who unexpectedly dared to accuse the princess’s guard so boldly to his face.
“You two are looking for death?” The white-clothed guard’s face instantly darkened, and his cold gaze swept over Chu Qian and Chu Qian.
Chu Qian and Chu Qian both felt the chilling murderous intent, and couldn’t help but retreat a few steps involuntarily.
“How can you two be so arrogant, apologize to Lu Donghe immediately!” Chu Ke scolded them when he saw Chu Qian and Chu Qian’s attitude, trying to control the discordant atmosphere.
“This kind of villain deserves to be scolded!” Chu Qian was still immersed in Chu Mu’s sadness, and she couldn’t control her emotions, and she didn’t care about Lu Donghe’s identity and status.
“My sister is right, this kind of person should be scolded!” A young member of the Chu family who had entered the stone hall with Chu Qian immediately said.
At this time, several other Chu family disciples saved by Chu Mu came over. They may not dare to offend Princess Jinrou, but the white-clothed guard’s words were indeed infuriating. If it weren’t for Chu Mu’s bold rescue, they wouldn’t be alive to enter the stone hall. For a moment, all five of them were glaring at the white-clothed guard Lu Donghe.
The expression on Lu Donghe’s face became darker and darker, as he suddenly released his soul sense, forcing it upon the five people, and spoke coldly, “Five pieces of trash, do you wish to die?”
Ye Qingzi frowned. Although she didn’t want to be at odds with the princess’s guard either, his words just now were truly infuriating. Therefore, she also stood up…
However, just at this moment, Ye Qingzi suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness approach her, making her involuntarily shiver!
Soul sense condensed, Ye Qingzi’s gaze immediately followed the source of the coldness, only to be shocked to find Chu Mu, who was covered in a faint cold demon flame, standing like a ghost behind the white-clothed guard Lu Donghe. Even the princess’s soul lord guards had not detected Chu Mu’s presence!
“You’re the one who wants to die, right?”
The cold, sword-like voice echoed through the room, making everyone present feel a chill envelop them!
Lu Donghe felt a chill down his spine, and his soul started trembling involuntarily. As he suddenly turned his head over, his face turned deathly pale!
Although Chu Mu’s half-demon state had been lifted, a remnant demonic aura remained on him. This aura was the White Charm Demon Flame, making people’s souls feel cold and shiver!
“Chu Mil!”
“He’s not dead! He didn’t die!”
“How is that possible? How did he survive from a Ninth Rank Monarch?!”
An eruption of exclamations sounded in the quiet stone hall, and all eyes were fixed on the strangely appearing Chu Mu!
Chu Mu still had a remnant of the half-demon effect on him, his eyes were extraordinary, the tall body was faintly covered with cold flames, standing quietly behind others. His bizarre posture exuded an inherent pride and majesty from his bones, fully displaying the demonic charm!
All present were members of the younger generation, who had never seen a soul pet master exude such a mysterious and evil demeanor. Therefore, as they stared at Chu Mu, everyone was suppressed by his demeanor.
Chu Mu’s hand slowly reached out from behind and pinched white-clothed guard Lu Donghe’s neck: “If I ever see you disrespect her again, I will break
your neck! ”
A terrifying coldness spread from his neck to his entire body. The vice-like grip made Lu Donghe feel that as long as he had the slightest thought, his fragile bones would be crushed. This feeling persisted even after Chu Mu released his hand.
It was cold, cold to the bone, cold to the depths of the soul. Lu Donghe never thought that Chu Mu could be so terrifying!
Lu Donghe was sure that Chu Mu would kill him without hesitation!
Finally, under the pressure of death, Lu Donghe compromised. Frightened, he retreated to the side, standing there in shock, as his soul continued to shiver for a long time…
“Chu Mu…” Seeing Chu Mu standing before her, Chu Qian’s emotions surged like a flood. She threw herself into Chu Mu’s arms and hugged him tightly.
Chu Mu also held her and comforted her softly, waiting for her emotions to gradually adjust.
As Chu Mu comforted Chu Qian, many people gathered around him, looking at Chu Mu with a mixture of astonishment and admiration!
It was truly unbelievable that Chu Mu, a member of the younger generation, actually managed to escape from the clutches of a Ninth Rank Monarch, under a sky filled with sky demon worms!
Standing nearby, Princess Jinrou seemed indifferent to the previous events but was extremely surprised. She wanted to know how exactly Chu Mu escaped, could it be because of the mysterious power that was revealed from his body just now? And what exactly was that power?
“Chu Mu, you really are amazing! Tell us how you managed to escape from the claws of the Ninth Rank Monarch. Do you have an even stronger main pet besides the White Nightmare Demon and the Nine-tailed Crown Flame Fox? What is it?” Chu Qian had completely changed her opinion of Chu Mu, her face full of admiration and infatuation, as if she couldn’t wait to be held in Chu Mu’s arms like Chu Qian..
“It’s a long story; let me rest for a bit,” Chu Mu replied.
Upon hearing Chu Mu’s words, Chu Qian suddenly realized that Chu Mu’s body was covered in blood. Strangely enough, she hadn’t noticed it when he appeared mysteriously earlier.
“My flower type healing and water system healing are very effective. Shall I help you?” Chu Ke’s younger sister, Chu Xin, offered.
After Chu Mu’s battle with the princess, his status had risen dramatically, causing many members of the younger generation of the Great Chu Noble Family to be amazed and impressed. Naturally, some people were willing to befriend him.
Chu Mu glanced at the glamorous young lady from the Great Chu Noble Family and gave a faint smile, shaking his head, “Thanks, but my friend also has good healing abilities, so there’s no need to trouble you.”
Chu Xin wanted to say something, but a girl with a good-looking appearance standing next to her whispered something in her ear, and Chu Xin’s cheeks flushed with an almost unnoticeable blush…
“I thought you were done for…” As Chu Mu slowly walked towards her, Ye Qingzi said in a calm tone.
“Hehe, it was a fluke. Miss Ye, can you help me and my soul pets heal? I don’t trust anyone else,” Chu Mu said with a smile.
“Let’s go inside the stone chamber, where you can also rest.” Ye Qingzi suggested.
“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded and followed Ye Qingzi into the hall and then into the stone chamber.
The stone chambers were separate, equipped with beds and some simple decorations – not overly extravagant, but not too shabby either…
“My spirit has been burned, Miss Ye. Do you have any water system soul healing methods?” Chu Mu asked.
“Just call me Qingzi,” Ye Qingzi gave a gentle smile.
“Oh, alright,” Chu Mu nodded.
“‘l’ne SOLII water core IS good tor soul neanng, Dut your DOCIY IS also covered In injuries and bloodstains…” Ye Qingzi looked at Chu Mu.
Chu Mu’s black clothes were tattered, his body covered in wounds. Even his chest area had a faint trace of collapse, making Ye Qingzi feel he must have personally participated in the battle; otherwise, how could he have gotten so injured?
“You took many attacks for your soul pets, didn’t you? …Chu Mu?” Ye Qingzi was in the middle of concocting a medicine and when she turned around, she found that Chu Mu was already lying on the bed with his eyes closed. His handsome face looked extremely pale and exhausted, with a trace of dried blood at the corner of his lips.
Seeing Chu Mu’s weary appearance, Ye Qingzi shook her head helplessly, gazing at him for a few more moments as he slept. Curiosity arose in her heart, wondering how this man managed to escape the Ninth Rank Monarch’s attack and if the previous shaking of the stone palace had anything to do with him.
The stone palace was filled with charred corpses piled upon one another, emitting strange and nauseating smells.
However, among the piles of corpses, there was a small, short-legged creature moving around quickly, as if searching for something.
“Haha, another Soul Crystal! How many is that now? Forget it, I’ll count later. This kid’s half-demon state is terrifying! He’s capable of wiping out nearly a thousand sky demon worms at this level. Following him was definitely the right choice, definitely the right choice!” Fox Elder grinned with his mouth wide open, laughing heartily.
Fox Elder had lived for hundreds of years, a soul pet without any combat power. Yet, it had its own hiding and escape abilities. Creatures like it, a demon spirit, were unlikely to attract the attention of the flesh-eating sky demon worm army. Taking advantage of the sky demon worms’ inattention to the soul crystals, Fox Elder was cleaning up the battlefield and collecting all the treasures he could find.
“Huh? That Ninth Rank Monarch?” Buried among the piles of corpses, Fox Elder’s shining eyes suddenly spotted the injured Eight-winged Sky Demon Worm not far away.
At this moment, the eight-winged sky demon worm had several of its wings burned almost to ashes and showed signs of being scorched all over its body. It had clearly been heavily wounded by the Ninth Level Sky Flame Ceremony.
Moreover, several high-ranked six-winged sky demon worms surrounded the injured eight-winged sky demon worm, their red eyes locked onto it, looking like they were ready to pounce at any moment.
“Same-species devouring, interesting! I’ll wait here; maybe I can grab some Soul Cores and Soul Crystals,” Fox Elder rubbed his hands together, revealing a cunning, sly expression.
