Chapter 379: Chapter 255: Gluttonous Insect Monster Group
Translator: 549690339
Chu Mu’s skill gorgeously dodged Duan Xinhe’s Gluttonous Insect Monster’s fatal attack and cleverly hid behind the Soul Hall experts.
Duan Xinhe’s face changed, he gritted his teeth, aware that killing this kid was almost impossible at this point, and decisively chose to retreat.
The Gluttonous Insect Monster remained invisible from beginning to end. Duan Xinhe also never revealed his own appearance and quickly retreated before the Soul Hall expert.
In the whole process, those twenty Soul Hall guards were still unaware of the existence of this man.
The Soul Hall expert stood there without summoning his soul pet, staring at the direction of Duan Xinhe’s escape, his face becoming much more solemn. It was only after Duan Xinhe’s aura completely disappeared that the expert’s face slightly relaxed.
Watching Duan Xinhe and his soul pet leave, Chu Mu also breathed a sigh of relief. The terrifying coldness of that Claw Blade just now was still lingering behind him. If he hadn’t decisively chanted the Soul Contract Spell in time, his back would have been torn open by that ninth rank commander-level insect monster…
“Elder, thank you for saving me,” Chu Mu knew the rules and proceeded to thank the Soul Hall expert.
“Hmph, first state your identity.” The middle-aged man slowly turned around, stared at Chu Mu with an imposing force, not allowing Chu Mu to lie.
Chu Mu knew that the man in front of him was obviously a big figure in the Soul Hall and took out his Soul Hall Order.
At this time, the Fox Elder jumped out of Chu Mu’s Soul Capture Ring and happily took Chu Mu’s Soul Hall Order before the Soul Hall expert.
“Seven Great Halls Palace Master, it’s so good to see you.” The Fox Elder clearly recognized the middle-aged man and began to speak human language…
“Thieving old man, you came to wreak havoc in my Soul Hall, courting death!” Palace Master Yu stared at Fox Elder, a disdainful and disgusted look on his face.
“Lord Yu, please don’t be angry. The old man has been ordered to come to the Soul Hall. There’s even a Soul Hall Order in his hand.” Fox Elder laughed sneakingly, waving the Soul Hall Order in his hand.
Palace Master Yu took the Soul Hall Order from Fox Elder’s hand indifferently. When he saw that it was the Soul Hall Deputy Order of the Honorable Lady, he frowned and said coldly, “How could your Highness’s order be in your possession! Could it be that you have resumed your old habits of stealing and swindling!”
“Lord Yu, don’t get excited. Let me finish.” Fox Elder purposefully cleared his throat and began to boast about how he met the Honorable Lady Liu Binglan and how he was ordered to accompany the young master on his journey.
At first, Palace Master Yu didn’t believe it. However, when it came to Chu Mu being Liu Binglan’s son, Palace Master Yu showed a complex emotion, looking at Chu Mu for a long time, not very certain, but unable to disbelieve it.
“Honorable Lady is your mother?” Palace Master Yu stared at Chu Mu, asking in a serious tone.
Chu Mu nodded without saying much.
“Lord Yu, you know the strength of the Honorable Lady as well. No matter how powerful I am, I couldn’t have stolen the Soul Hall Deputy Order from her. Even if I did, I wouldn’t dare to swagger into the Soul Hall under a false identity.” Fox Elder continued.
Fox Elder went into hiding in the West Region mainly because he had offended many people in the past and had been listed as a wanted man by the Soul Hall.
Now that he was with Chu Mu, it could be said that the Honorable Lady had given him a chance to reform. With his identity as the Young Master’s subordinate, he didn’t have to worry about people who had past grudges coming to get revenge on him, and he could come and go freely in any place.
After hesitating for a moment, Palace Master Yu finally recognized Chu Mu as the Young Master. After all, the Soul Hall Order was not false, and he more or less knew that the Honorable Lady Liu Binglan had a son living in a remote place.
Palace Master Yu didn’t address Chu Mu in the usual way since his status was higher; instead, he asked, “Young Master Chu, how did you get involved with that Duan Xinhe?”
“Lord Yu, do you know who he is?” Chu Mu asked immediately.
“Hmph, how could I not know? This guy is a soul pet trainer with many crimes and has been wanted by our Soul Hall for a long time. His mother of a hundred children, the ninth rank Gluttonous Insect Monster, is still recognizable even when invisible.” Said Palace Master Yu.
“Mother of a hundred children’s subordinate? So, the one just now wasn’t the mother of a hundred children?” Chu Mu was taken aback, not expecting that such a terrifying soul pet wasn’t actually the main body of the mother of a hundred children.
“Of course not, the mother of a hundred children is much stronger than that. I remember a few years ago, this guy had a total of ten first-born, ninth rank Gluttonous Insect Monsters. Three years ago, eight of them were killed by one of our Soul Hall experts, and that man fled with the remaining two Gluttonous Insect Monsters and the mother of a hundred children. There was a period of time when he didn’t appear in the major cities, but I didn’t expect this guy to sneak into Li City. I’m sure someone else has been harmed.” The disdain and anger at Duan Xinhe were evident in Palace Master Yu’s words.
Ten ninth rank Gluttonous Insect Monsters!
Chu Mu was horrified to think that Duan Xinhe could be this terrifying, and fearing that Duan Xinhe’s Mother of a Hundred hadn’t appeared yet, Chu Mu was anxious.
“You still haven’t told me how you got involved with him.” Palace Master Yu asked again.
Chu Mu came to his senses and told Palace Master Yu about his encounter with Dongqing in Li City, how he used a water attack to kill the Gluttonous Insect monsters, and how he saw Duan Xinhe during the chase.
“What a mess. This kind of thing is not just a city official’s problem, even a general would find it difficult to handle. Isn’t that Dongqing kid the second son of the city master? Why didn’t he report this to the city master earlier?” Palace Master Yu didn’t care for Chu Mu’s young master status and criticized him nonetheless.
“Palace Master Yu, there’s no need to say more. None of those in Li City would bother with this matter. They are all desperately searching for the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon. As for the Young Master, how could he know that someone of Duan Xinhe’s rank was causing trouble in the West Street District? The fact that he was able to wipe out several hundred Gluttonous Insect monsters has already infuriated Duan Xinhe to the point of bursting.” Fox Elder said.
“You are indeed brave. However, Young Master Chu, don’t interfere in this matter. Our Soul Hall will send someone to apprehend him, and Li City will have its experts to deal with him. Also, Duan Xinhe is an unscrupulous villain, and he must have set his sights on you. During this time, try to stay in the Soul Hall as much as possible. If you have to go out, have the local hall master arrange some people to accompany you. I have other matters to deal with, so I won’t accompany you any longer.” Palace Master Yu said.
After saying this, Palace Master Yu called for the Deputy Palace Master and informed him of Chu Mu’s identity without further ado. He then strode off towards the outside of the Soul Hall, leaving Chu Mu behind.
“Master Li, is Palace Master Yu the father of Yu Lang?” Chu Mu immediately asked.
“Yeah, otherwise, with his arrogance, he wouldn’t have come all the way from the Main Soul Hall to this Li City. However, it seems that he still doesn’t know that you are a witness to Yu He’s case.” Fox Elder said.
“The trial is coming soon, but if their attention is on the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, the trial should be postponed, right?” Chu Mu said.
“If nothing unexpected happens, it should be postponed. A small matter like Yu He’s life and death cannot compare to the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon.” Fox Elder said.
West Street District
The water attack plan was very successful. With the cooperation of the city guards and the aerial guards, these Soul Pet Masters killed at least 150 Gluttonous Insect monsters.
These 150 Gluttonous Insect monsters were forced to the surface by the underground tunnel water, and then ambushed and wiped out by the guards. Several team leaders and Li Gu killed a few Eighth Stage Gluttonous Insect monsters.
This extermination made all the city guards shout with delight, as if they had finally avenged their fallen comrades.
After confirming that no Gluttonous Insect monsters were alive, Li Gu ordered the opening of several underground passages to drain the water.
Several drainage outlets in West Street led to a city river in the center of the city. To confirm the number of Gluttonous Insect monsters, Li Gu had a group of people go into the city river and set up a large net to catch all the corpses of the Gluttonous Insect monsters that had been washed into the river.
The drainage process took almost the entire night. However, the city guards were filled with lingering fear throughout the night!
That’s because they had retrieved nearly 500 corpses of Gluttonous Insect monsters from the sewers and the city river that night!
With more than 500 corpses, plus the more than 100 corpses killed by the city guards, the total number of Gluttonous Insect monsters was nearly 700!
These Gluttonous Insect monsters had an average strength reaching the Seventh Rank Commander Level. Having 700 such ferocious monsters hidden in the underground tunnels of West Street was a terrifying thing!!
Upon hearing the news, all the city guards were not filled with joy for having killed so many Gluttonous Insect monsters but were covered by lingering fear. City officer Li Gu, in particular, had earlier planned to conduct a carpet search.
“I nearly became a sinner of Li City, if not for Chu Chen’s intervention, all of us would have perished and become food for these monsters.” Li Gu looked at the hundreds of corpses soaked in water, his face pale and his heart full of lingering fear.
Looking at the corpses before her, Ye Qingzi also remained silent. She hadn’t expected the number of Gluttonous Insect monsters in the underground tunnels to be so horrifying. This water attack had inadvertently wiped out the entire population, and the owner of the Mother of a Hundred would probably have the urge to commit suicide if he knew about this.
“These corpses all have Soul Cores and Soul Crystals. Don’t let them leave the liquid, or else these things will also disappear…” Ye Qingzi reminded the city guards.
