“Such an unfortunate event, truly unfortunate.” Atop the attic in the Soul Hall Courtyard, an older middle-aged man heaved a long sigh, revealing a hint of sadness in his eyes.
“Ah, it’s all due to my subordinates’ negligence, not understanding the real situation at Sky Crystal Peak. I will, of course, apologize to Lord Yu.” A well-dressed young man with a refined demeanor sighed.
“Accidents are inevitable. A few days ago, we received news about a Soul Pet riot at Sky Crystal Peak. It might be difficult to retrieve the corpse now, but let’s hope Lord Yu can handle it calmly.” The old man said.
“Lord Tang, you know the cause of this incident, and I’m worried that some of my enemies will add fuel to the fire and distort the truth. So, I hope that when you make a decision on this matter, you will give He a fair judgment… Brother Yu Lang is also a respected expert I admire, and this time I came to Colorful Dome City with the intention to exchange insights with him…” said the young man who called himself Yu He.
“Don’t worry, young master Yu, our Soul Hall has always been fair in handling matters and has never engaged in baseless actions.” Lord Tang said.
Yu He courteously nodded, but when his gaze swept past the window, a faint sneer flashed in his eyes, as if Lord Tang’s words were in line with his thoughts.
“Palace Master, a young man is asking to see you downstairs in the attic.” A Soul Hall guard came up, bowed, and spoke up.
“We have important guests right now, let him rest downstairs for a while.” Lord Tang said.
“Oh, since Lord Tang is busy, I won’t disturb him any further. Please accept my condolences, Master…” Yu He had already achieved his goal, so there was no need to stay here any longer. He politely bid farewell and left after saying this.
“Escort young master Yu out.” Lord Tang ordered the guard.
After that, Lord Tang beckoned another guard over and whispered: “Let that young man come back in a few days. If anyone visits in these days, just dismiss them with the excuse of being busy and not wanting to be disturbed.”
“Yes!” The guard responded.
Chu Mu was growing impatient waiting downstairs in the attic. Momentarily, he saw a handsome young man coming down from the attic. Although the young man maintained a well-cultured smile, Chu Mu caught a trace of smugness in his expression.
Yu He naturally saw Chu Mu waiting and merely smiled and nodded at him without saying much.
Chu Mu had always been indifferent to such acts of friendliness from strangers, so he didn’t respond and just stared at him.
“Another arrogant Soul Hall youth…” Yu He seemed to have seen many such self-righteous Soul Hall members and sneered in his heart while keeping his smile as he walked out of the attic.
“Young Master, I’m terribly sorry, the Palace Master has urgent matters to attend to and doesn’t want to be disturbed, so please leave for now and come back another day.” The guard quickly came down and spoke to Chu Mu in a polite tone.
Yu He happened to walk outside and heard the guard rejecting Chu Mu. He couldn’t help but curl his lips and say: “Turns out his identity is quite ordinary…”
Chu Mu furrowed his brow, glancing at the several guards who had accompanied him earlier, and said coldly, “Didn’t you tell him who wants to see him?”
“Uh… well, we couldn’t confirm your identity, so…” The guard immediately looked troubled, unsure how to respond.
Chu Mu let out a cold snort, not wanting to waste time with these people. He pushed aside the palace guard blocking his path and went straight up the stairs!
“How dare you!” The guard immediately raised his eyebrows and coldly scolded Chu Mu.
Chu Mu didn’t bother talking to the guard either. He recited a spell and white charm demon flames burned around his body. Suddenly, he disappeared from the range of the guard’s spiritual attack…
“Whooosh”
The white charm demon flame burned on the attic, and Lord Tang, who had a disappointed look on his face, showed a surprised expression. He stared at the flame, which emanated a chilling, eerie aura.
The demon flame burned as Chu Mu’s body slowly appeared within the fire. It highlighted his upright and elegant figure, adding an air of mystery and allure to him.
“This is my Soul Hall Order. If you have anything to say, say it after looking at this order,” Chu Mu, knowing that Ye Qingzi was still anxiously waiting, put on an air of the young master.
Lord Tang was stunned as he took the Soul Hall Order thrown by Chu Mu. He flipped the order to its front side…
Lord Tang was already very troubled by the deaths of Yu Lang and Feng Ya. He was further angered by this young man who did not know the rules and broke in like this. But when he saw the levels pattern on the Soul Hall Order, his expression immediately changed.
Stunned for a few seconds, Lord Tang bowed his head and slightly bent his body to show respect. He apologized, “I didn’t know the young master was coming. I deserve death…”
“Yu Lang and Feng Ya were killed by the dark schemes of evildoers at Sky Crystal Peak. The earlier news about the disappearance of Sky Crystal Peak released by the Elemental Gate was a trap to lure them there. I now have a friend who is imprisoned by the Elemental Gate. Send some men to follow me to the Elemental City for a rescue mission,” Chu Mu briefly summarized what he wanted to say.
Lord Tang was stunned. Not long ago, he had just learned from Yu He of the Elemental Gate that Yu Lang and Feng Ya had died accidentally. Now, this unknown young master was saying that it was the Elemental Gate that poisoned them. Moreover, he was ordering him to send men to challenge the people of the Elemental City.
“Young Master, Young Master Yu who just left the city from the Elemental Gate told me about this incident not long ago. His words contradict yours. This matter is complicated; please explain more slowly,” Lord Tang was somewhat confused and asked Chu Mu to explain further.
Upon hearing this, Chu Mu immediately frowned, not expecting the mastermind behind the Elemental Gate to be so cunning. The manipulator would easily evade responsibility for the incident if they informed first about the situation and considering the recent rampage of Sky Crystal Peak’s Soul Pets.
“Arrest him immediately!” Chu Mu’s tone became more forceful.
It was evident that the matter had been designed by Yu He, the youthful master of the Elemental Sect, whom Ye Qingzi had mentioned earlier. If Yu He learned about Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi’s appearance from Qing Li, he undoubtedly would threaten Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi with Ye Wansheng to keep them quiet. Therefore, Yu He must not be allowed to escape!
“Young Master, Yu He’s status is not the same as others. It’s not quite appropriate to arrest him so easily,” said Lord Tang.
Chu Mu’s appearance as the Soul Hall Young Master was too sudden. Furthermore, Lord Tang hadn’t yet figured out which young master Chu Mu was. There was no way he could suddenly arrest a member of the alliance’s younger generation. Besides, Yu He’s position was not low. It wasn’t as simple as just wanting to arrest him.
“There’s no time to explain, just arrest him first!” Chu Mu’s expression showed a hint of anger.
“Young Master, this matter is indeed not quite appropriate. If you have an arrest warrant in hand, I will not hesitate at all,” said Lord Tang, looking troubled.
Chu Mu’s brows furrowed. He knew he might not be able to mobilize the Soul Hall experts. Seeing Yu He about to escape, Chu Mu became determined: “If you don’t dare, I will!”(To be continued.
