Translator: 549690339
“Lord Tang, are you trying to deliberately provoke a conflict between Elemental Gate and Soul Hall with your actions? Humph, everyone present already knows who’s right and who’s wrong. Release me now, and perhaps I won’t bother with you!” Yu He said, his face full of anger towards Lord Tang.
“Was your plan to murder Yu Lang and Feng Ya to promote the friendship between the Elemental Gate and the Soul Hall? Stop talking nonsense with him, lock him up!” Chu Mu coldly sneered.
Chu Mu, Yu Lang, and Feng Ya barely knew each other, and Chu Mu, who had no standpoint, wouldn’t have meddled in other people’s affairs. However, compared to Yu He knowing that he and Ye Qingzi were in Sky Crystal Peak, Chu Mu would definitely rack his brains to eliminate himself and Ye Qingzi, so Chu Mu naturally struck first.
Yu Lang and Feng Ya were both very famous young experts in Soul Hall. Their appearance in Soul Hall had already caused quite a stir. However, Chu Mu’s words regarding the deaths of Yu Lang and Feng Ya caused an uproar in the entire Soul Hall Main Hall!
“Yu Lang and Feng Ya are dead?” Zhao Yi also showed a shocked expression, with horrified eyes staring at Chu Mu.
“Yes, someone previously spread the news that the owner of Sky Crystal Peak was injured, and Sky Crystal Peak could be taken in the near future. But actually, it was just bait deliberately dropped by Yu He and his men. They knew that Yu Lang and Feng Ya were in this city. Through the relationship between Qing Li from the Elemental Gate and Yu Lang, they lured them to the cave halfway up Sky Crystal Peak under the pretext of offering help and cooperation, killed them, and then probably used some excuse or misinformation to cover up the real cause of their deaths,” Chu Mu explained.
Chu Mu’s words once again stirred up the Soul Hall Main Hall. Yu Lang was the son of one of the Seven Halls of the Soul Hall, and his position in the Soul Hall was by no means ordinary. Yu He’s plot to kill Yu Lang and Feng Ya was bound to cause a significant disturbance between the Elemental Gate and Soul Hall, as both Yu Lang’s father and Yu He’s father held vast powers.
Upon hearing Chu Mu’s explanation, Yu He was dumbfounded, never expecting that this inexplicably appearing youth would know so clearly about this matter.
“Impossible. This matter is so secretive. He couldn’t have known about it unless he was at the Sky Crystal Peak at that time…” Yu He gritted his teeth, his mind racing.
Yu He was not the type to be easily scared by a few words. Even if his conspiracy was exposed, he tried his best to maintain his composure. Coldly, he said to Chu Mu, “It’s ridiculous. I didn’t even know about this, but you do. Could it be that you were present when Yu Lang and Feng Ya died, and you witnessed them being killed by Qing Li with your own eyes?”
Chu Mu looked at Yu He and didn’t expect this guy to be so calm. Without rushing to have him taken away, he said indifferently, “Unfortunately, I was in the team. Your men purposefully separated me and my friend, and then killed them.”
“Hahahaha, I just arrived in Colorful Dome City yesterday, I just learned about the cause of their death and came here to inform Lord Tang. As for Qing Li, he used to be my subordinate, but he hasn’t been in contact with me for a long time. How would I know what he’s done? In my opinion, it’s more like you killed them and tried to shift the blame onto me!” Yu He was not an ordinary person; even at this time, he managed to bite back at Chu Mu.
Yu He’s words completely refuted Chu Mu’s previous statement. Seeing that Chu Mu was silent, Yu He sneered in his heart.
“Add another charge for slandering the Soul Hall Young Master.” At that moment, a voice that sounded both like an elder and a child broke into the dispute.
Everyone’s gaze quickly fell on the speaker, and to their surprise, the one speaking turned out to be a half-human, half-pet creature with a small body and a raccoon-like head!
“Thief Elder?” Lord Tang looked at Fox Elder, his eyes widened a bit more.
Zhao Yi and others seemed to have heard of this half-human, half-raccoon thing, and their faces became a bit strange.
“Humph, Soul Hall Young Master? Which Soul Hall Young Master is he?” Yu He snorted coldly, hardly caring if the raccoon could speak or not.
Yu He knew the situation in Soul Hall even more clearly than Yu Lang. He had seen several of the Nine Soul Hall Young Masters, never met some of them, and only knew bits of information and whereabouts about them. So, he thought it was impossible for any young master to appear here.
“Have you saved the person?” Chu Mu ignored Yu He’s words and inquired with his soul sense.
“He’s been saved. The beauty legs girl has taken him for treatment. He’s got chronic insect poison on him,” Master Li replied.
Chu Mu raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Since the person had been saved, Chu Mu could naturally be at ease. He glanced at this guy who had caused trouble for him on Sky Crystal Peak, saw that he still wanted to cleverly say something to defend himself, and calmly walked towards him.
“Slap!”
A fierce slap landed on Yu He’s face, causing the words he had just spoken to be forcefully slapped back into his mouth by Chu Mu’s palm!
Chu Mu’s slap was very loud, and there was a murmur of sighs in the Soul Hall Main Hall.
Many people present knew who Yu He was, and his position in the Elemental Gate was that of a young master, not inferior to Yu Lang. Chu Mu’s domineering slap fully demonstrated the demeanor of a Young Master.
“Old Tang, you have no authority to handle this matter, so go inform the person who has the power to do so. This young man from Elemental Gate is ambitious and luckily was encountered by our experienced Young Master. Justice for Yu Lang has been served.” Fox Elder winked at Palace Master Tang and spoke.
“Young Master Yu He, the matters regarding Yu Lang and Feng Ya’s deaths seem to be not that simple. Since you know the situation, please stay in our Soul Hall for a few days. You don’t want people to gossip about you either, right? You can also take this opportunity to get to the bottom of this matter,” Palace Master Tang said.
Palace Master Tang now leaned towards believing Chu Mu and had Zhao Yi and others take the bloodied Yu He to a room under house arrest, where they tightly locked him up.
When Yu He was taken away, his resentful eyes stared at Chu Mu. Before he left, he used his Soul Sense to pass on a message to Chu Mu: “No matter who you are, even if you are the Soul Hall Young Master, I, Yu He, will remember today’s incident and make you die a horrible death!”
Chu Mu rubbed his ears with his thumb, completely ignoring Yu He’s existence.
“This matter concerns the relationship between Soul Hall and the Elemental Gate. Until the truth is revealed, no one is allowed to spread rumors or make irresponsible remarks. Violators will be dealt with severely!” It was time for Palace Master Tang to show his authority and warn all the members of Soul Hall’s Main Hall using the power of the Soul Hall.
After saying that, Tang used a spell to dissolve the thick ice wall on the door of Soul Hall. He also asked some Soul Pet Masters skilled at controlling earth attribute soul pets to repair the hole in the Soul Hall.
“So, Young Master, what are you planning to do next?” After dealing with the immediate matters, Palace Master Tang asked Chu Mu.
“Old Tang, the Young Master is very busy and has no time to deal with such matters. You just call the people who should be called and let them handle it,” Fox Elder put on an arrogant attitude.
Old Tang looked at Fox Elder and his face darkened, the same as Zhao Yi and the others earlier. It took him a while to speak in a normal tone, asking Fox Elder: “Which Young Master is he, exactly?”
“Old Tang, that’s something you don’t know. I was ordered by Her Highness the Venerate to accompany the Young Master on his training journey. I even have the Female Venerate’s Soul Hall Deputy Order…” Fox Elder said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Old Tang’s face darkened further. He hadn’t settled the old scores with this broken old man from five years ago, and somehow this old man had gotten involved with the Female Venerate and had received a token of immunity.
“Under normal circumstances, the Young Master wouldn’t reveal his identity, to avoid malicious people harboring ulterior motives. However, if someone deliberately causes trouble… hehe…” Fox Elder smirked sinisterly.
The reason why Fox Elder was willing to follow Chu Mu was precisely because of this. He could make use of the Female Venerate’s status, flaunt his authority, and those he had offended before could only swallow their anger.
“Since he is the son of Her Highness the Female Venerate, wouldn’t that make him the Tenth Young Master?” Palace Master Tang suddenly reacted, looking at Chu Mu in astonishment.
“You’ve spent some time in World City, so you know about the Female Venerate’s identity. Regarding the Tenth Young Master, don’t casually mention it to others. If someone targets the Female Venerate and deliberately causes trouble for the Young Master, you and I will both be in trouble if anything goes wrong,” Fox Elder said with his hands behind his back and glaring eyes.
“Of course,” Palace Master Tang nodded.
True strong ones need to train outside in order to become stronger, and the supreme-status Young Masters of Soul Hall are no exception.
However, due to their special circumstances, there are many uncertainties when they go out to practice. For example, although it is conventional for elders not to attack the younger generation, some people still attempt to use dark means and schemes behind the scenes.
Therefore, when the Young Masters of Soul Hall go out to practice, most of them will use a pseudonym and appear as ordinary practitioners in various cities. Even when they enter a city’s Soul Hall, they don’t make a big deal of it but keep a low profile. They won’t reveal their identities unless necessary.
“So, about the matter between Young Master and Yu He…” Palace Master Tang didn’t know how to handle the situation now and could only ask Fox Elder, with whom he had a minor feud.
“Indeed, it was Yu He who wanted to kill Yu Lang and Feng Ya, and his subordinates Qing Li and Zhang Qin carried out the deed. Moreover, these two men tried to kill the Young Master to silence him, but fortunately, the Young Master was resourceful and courageous enough to escape their clutches with the aid of a Soul Pet from Sky Crystal Peak. I, Illusion Elder, of course, know that you can’t handle this matter. Anyway, according to the Young Master’s orders, arrest that kid Yu He. Either wait for the higher-ups to arrive or escort him to Li City…” Fox Elder said.
“Yes, yes, I’ve already sent a Rune Letter to the Deputy Palace Master of Li City Soul Hall,” Palace Master Tang said.
“This matter might not be simple. You better be careful…” Fox Elder said with a solemn expression. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian () to cast votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
