Ye Qingzi turned her head, her beautiful eyes gazing at Chu Mu, unsure why Chu Mu had suddenly become the subordinate of the Soul Hall Young Master. Ye Qingzi remembered that Chu Mu should have been the subordinate of the Little Princess of nightmare Demon Palace.
“You two youngsters really have no discernment!” Fox Elder couldn’t help speaking, opening his raccoon’s wide mouth.
As soon as Fox Elder spoke, Yu Lang and Feng Ya’s faces both showed astonishment as their eyes were firmly fixed on the strange talking soul pet behind Chu Mu.
“This thing can talk?” Feng Ya exclaimed with surprise, covering her mouth in disbelief.
“When my master and I were in the Soul Hall, even your grandfathers needed to consult me for all kinds of problems. You dare to describe me with objects, that’s so disrespectful!” Fox Elder was filled with resentment, hands on hips as he pointed at them with his short claws.
Yu Lang and Feng Ya did not know what to say for a moment. Their gaze fell on Chu Mu, wanting to know what exactly he was…
“What are you looking at? Haven’t you ever seen such a dignified elder? Do you see this arm? It’s the concentration of power. Do you see this face? It’s the symbol of authority…”
“Enough, shut up.” Chu Mu glared at the old fellow and told him to stop talking nonsense.
“If you all were born twenty years earlier, you would definitely know what kind of existence I, Illusion Elder, am in the soul pet world…” Fox Elder stood there like a shrewish woman.
“Mo Ye.” Chu Mu calmly called, and Mo Ye, who had long been prepared, extended his fluffy tail, smacking the old man and sending him flying…
Yu Lang and Feng Ya looked at Fox Elder’s parabolic flight through mid-air, and it took them a while to recover from the surprise of a soul pet that could talk.
“Brother Chu Mu, this half-human half-pet thing is…” Yu Lang asked.
“A demon spirit that can change its shape and has learned our human language, just lived a bit longer.” Chu Mu replied.
After Fox Elder changed the topic, Yu Lang and Feng Ya did not continue to question Chu Mu’s identity. At first, they were mainly suspicious of whether Chu Mu was pretending to be someone else’s subordinate, but if he dared to travel with them, it naturally meant that he had nothing to fear and was not the type to fake an identity.
The journey to Sky Crystal Peak was quite long. It took the four of them about two days before they found a towering mountain peak in the distance.
The surrounding mountains were made up of different colors, and the terrain was relatively gentle, without any deep valleys. Located at the edge of the mountain range, Sky Crystal Peak rose solitary above the earth, looking like a giant inverted cone piercing the clouds from afar!
“Sky Crystal Peak used to be inhabited by a monarch, I don’t know who’s in charge now…” Fox Elder said.
Chu Mu looked at the old man, waiting for to him to say more about Sky Crystal Peak, but he stopped here. When Chu Mu stared at him, the old fellow showed a look of knowing only that much…
“According to some people, the monarch of Sky Crystal Peak seems to have been injured in a fight against a monarch of Colorful Dome Mountain. His combat power has been greatly weakened. The people of Elemental Gate have always wanted to obtain the Sky Crystal Mine, and this is a rare opportunity…” Yu Lang said.
“You two should be quite capable as well. If you help them deal with the old monarch of Sky Crystal Peak together, it may ease the conflict a bit,” Feng Ya suggested.
Chu Mu nodded. If they could reach a peaceful resolution, that would be even better since the Elemental Gate was too powerful…
The four of them drove their soul pets all the way to the foot of Sky Crystal Peak. After walking around the foot of the mountain for a while, they quickly found the experts from Elemental Gate gathered at the base.
The group from the Elemental Gate consisted of about five people, with three of them around twenty-five years old and the other two about thirty years old. They should no longer be part of the young generation of Elemental Gate.
“It should be them, right? I don’t know where my brother is.” Ye Qingzi’s gaze swept over the two men in their thirties and spoke to Chu Mu with soul sense.
“If they came here to deal with the monarch of Sky Crystal Peak, they wouldn’t necessarily bring your brother here. They should have his soul sense locked and left him in the Elemental Gate for others to look after,” Chu Mu replied.
“I found it weird that these people looked at us strangely when they saw us…” Ye Qingzi continued to communicate with Chu Mu through soul sense.
“Maybe they think we’re outsiders, it’s probably not because they recognized you,” Chu Mu responded.
Ye Qingzi nodded, not saying anything more. She had never seen those two thirty-year-old men, and they did not recognize her either. The fact that they managed to find Ye Wansheng in Wogu City should be due to the tracking sign.
“Yu Lang, Young Master, Miss Feng Ya, you kept us waiting.” One of the men in dark gray clothes, about thirty years old, approached with a smile and spoke to Yu Lang and Feng Ya.
“Hehe, we were held up by some trivial matters.” Yu Lang replied with a smile.
“And who are these two?” The man in dark gray clothes, who was obviously the leader, looked at Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi and asked.
“Oh, let me introduce you, this is Chu Mu and his female companion, her name is…” As Yu Lang was about to say Ye Qingzi’s name, he thought that these two people should know Ye Qingzi’s name already. So it seemed a bit inappropriate to say it out loud at the beginning. So he didn’t say it, instead intending to become friendly with them before trying to resolve this dispute.
“Qing Li, could you step aside for a moment to talk?” Yu Lang hesitated for a moment and then whispered to the man in the gray robe.
Qing Li showed a puzzled expression, but followed what Yu Lang said and moved to one side to talk quietly.
Chu Mu’s hearing was very good, so after hearing the name Qing Li, he could be sure that these two Soul Pet Masters around thirty years old were the ones who caught Ye Wansheng. He deliberately informed Ye Qingzi using Soul Sense.
The other four people just casually greeted Feng Ya, Chu Mu, and Ye Qingzi, appearing not very enthusiastic. For some reason, Chu Mu felt that their gazes were a little strange.
“Brother Qing Li, there’s something I need to discuss with you.” Yu Lang didn’t use Soul Sense but instead whispered to Qing Li.
“Huh?” Qing Li revealed a complex expression, but soon returned to normal.
“Did you and Zhang Qin just return from the West Region’s Wogu Domain?” Yu Lang asked.
“How do you know?” Qing Li asked.
“Then, did you take a young man to the Wogu Domain?” Yu Lang continued to ask.
Qing Li looked at Yu Lang and didn’t say anything, but his gaze indicated that it was indeed true.
“Is that young man alright now?”
“Why is Brother Yu Lang suddenly concerned about this matter?” Qing Li’s gaze became a bit strange again.
It was indeed Qing Li and Zhang Qin who took Ye Wansheng away, they obeyed orders to track him down, and chased him all the way to the West Region until they finally caught the man who stole their young master’s soul pet in the Wogu Domain. This matter was personally ordered by their young master and had nothing to do with Soul Hall, let alone Yu Lang and Feng Ya. Qing Li didn’t understand why Yu Lang was asking about it.
“I think there might be some misunderstandings in this matter. The two people I brought with me are the ones who have been chasing you all the way here, hoping to resolve this issue.” Yu Lang said.
“Brother Yu Lang, this is an internal matter of our Elemental Gate, you can’t be getting involved, right?” Qing Li said with a slightly unfriendly tone.
“I just got to know these two people, if they were ordinary people I wouldn’t pay attention to them. This time I mainly came to help you solve this issue with Sky Crystal Peak. However, the friend named Chu Mu is a subordinate of our Soul Hall’s young master, he has a Soul Hall Deputy Order in his hand and his status isn’t ordinary. Soul Hall has always had a good relationship with your Elemental Gate, and I don’t want a conflict between your young master and Soul Hall’s young master because of some lower-level issues.” Yu Lang said.
“The young master’s subordinate?” Qing Li showed a surprised look and intentionally sized up Chu Mu.
“That’s right, although I don’t know which young master he is currently under, if he is able to get the Soul Hall’s Order from a young master, then his position in Soul Hall is not low.” Yu Lang said.
“This is a matter ordered by our young master; we can’t just let the person go.” Qing Li said with a strange expression.
“They also have sincerity in resolving the issue. In this way, both sides can step back; they can compensate your young master for his losses in other ways. You can simply release the person, and it would be better for both sides to make peace. Moreover, since they have come here, they can join the team and solve the problem at Sky Crystal Peak together; their strength is not weak.” Yu Lang said.
Upon hearing Yu Lang’s first half of the sentence, Qing Li’s expression was still gloomy, but when Yu Lang spoke the second half, his eyes immediately lit up.
“That’s worthy of consideration. After all, our young master wants to find a source of Sky Crystal Powder.” Qing Li immediately agreed.
Yu Lang was stunned, he thought he would have to say more to mediate the situation, but he didn’t expect Qing Li to agree so quickly. It seemed that the issue with Sky Crystal Peak was indeed difficult.
After a discussion, Yu Lang and Qing Li reached an agreement and returned to the group.
Qing Li’s eyes swept over Chu Mu; he was also surprised that Chu Mu would be a subordinate of Soul Hall’s young master, which made Chu Mu’s status much higher than his own.
“You must be his younger sister, right?” Qing Li’s gaze fell on Ye Qingzi and he spoke in a plain tone.
“Yes.” Ye Qingzi nodded.
“We, the people of Elemental Gate, are not unreasonable. As long as you are willing to provide compensation equivalent to our young master’s loss, we can assure your brother’s safety. However, this matter is indeed your fault first, so to show sincerity, you will need to help us with this Sky Crystal Peak matter. You’ll have to eliminate some of the Sky Crystal Monarch’s subordinates hiding in the mountainside cave. If you can help us clear this obstacle, we won’t bother getting involved any further.” Qing Li said, with a somewhat arrogant attitude.
“How is my brother now?” Ye Qingzi asked immediately.
“Rest assured, he only suffered a few small hardships and is not seriously injured.” Qing Li said.
When Qing Li spoke, Yu Lang frowned slightly and whispered, “The situation in the mountainside cave is unknown, but it is said that many powerful soul pets inhabit it. It’s not quite appropriate to send just the two of them, right?”
