Chapter 824: Chapter 691: The Guilty-Conscious Chu Mu

After experiencing several large-scale battles, and seeing cities being swallowed by Sky Demons, Chu Mu gradually realized that humans were not as strong as he had imagined. If the massive Sky Demon Worm Emperor were to mobilize its forces, then a quarter of the human territory would fall completely.

Moreover, Chu Mu learned from Liu Binglan that there were more than just the Sky Demon Worm Empire in the forbidden region. Those Soul Pet Empires were located deeper in the forbidden region, forming an insurmountable barrier for humans. So far, nothing has been documented on the other side of the forbidden region.

During the outbreak of battles, Chu Mu stayed in the Great Chu Noble Family, devoting himself to the battles to constantly enhance his own strength.

Chu Mu did not take on any military command or leadership roles, nor did he become a leader figure in the youth army. Instead, he only collected battle reports. When an emergency crisis occurred in a specific location, Chu Mu would go there.

Chu Mu was different from most Soul Emperors. They needed to defend, preserve combat power, and prevent the appearance of Emperor-level Sky Demon Worms. Due to limited resources, they had to somewhat control the number of battles they fought.

Chu Mu, on the other hand, fought tirelessly like those Soul Lords and Soul Masters. During this time, he consumed thousands of fighting spirits alone after the battles.

Fortunately, after fighting for such a long time, Chu Mu’s Little Mo Xie had reached the Ninth Rank Ninth Stage and was soon about to step into the Tenth Rank.

At the Ninth Rank Ninth Stage, Mo Xie could barely fight against a low-grade Emperor-level creature. After reaching the Tenth Rank, defeating a low-grade Emperor-level Sky Demon Worm would not be a problem.

Chu Mu personally killed ten Sky Demon Worm Emperors, and the internal organ crystals he obtained were sold for 2000 each.

In total, Chu Mu gained 20,000 spirits. He set aside these 20,000 spirits for Zhan Ye, who needed four times more resources and 40,000 spirits to strengthen to the Emperor level.

Since the Little Zhe Dragon only required five times the resources after the Ghost Dragon’s split, Chu Mu planned to allocate the remaining 10,000 spirits to Zhan Ye. Once he obtained 10,000 spirits, Chu Mu could solve Zhan Ye’s Emperor-level resource problem.

Of course, Chu Mu was well aware that the resources for Little Zhe Dragon until the Eighth Rank were resolved, but the resources between Ninth Rank and Tenth Rank required five times the low-grade Emperor resources.

One set of low-grade Emperor resources was worth 50,000 spirits, making five sets 250,000 spirits.

This was a tremendous amount of money. Chu Mu had thought that his mother’s savings could help him solve his financial problems. However, with a bitter smile, he found out that Liu Binglan had not saved any money. Besides the medicines and food for her own soul pets, she did not bring anything else with her.

Liu Binglan’s needs were directly taken from the Soul Hall, and everything she earned was donated to the Soul Hall without compensation.

The resources of the Soul Hall were allocated according to one’s status. Liu Binglan had the right to spend as she pleased, but she did not have the power to open the Soul Hall’s treasury to Chu Mu.

Of course, Liu Binglan did not completely leave Chu Mu empty-handed. In order to ensure Chu Mu’s safety, she gave him a set of Second Rank Emperor Soul Armor.

Chu Mu was a Spirit Soul Emperor. The strongest Soul Armor he could wear was at the Emperor 2 level. If Chu Mu’s level was higher, Liu Binglan would not hesitate to give him the Emperor 9-level Soul Armor she was wearing.

Furthermore, Liu Binglan had also reflected on one important issue; she, as a prominent woman, was not very good at fighting in the wild.

Liu Binglan’s strength was outstanding, her Soul Pets were of high level, and she was fully armed. She had few opponents in the human realm.

However, once she entered the Forbidden Domain, she would always encounter various troubles, among which getting lost was a severe issue. Getting lost would lead to a series of problems, causing many unnecessary losses in combat power. In the Forbidden Domain, enemies could never be wiped out…

Just like a high-level Emperor-level Sky Demon Worm restrained in the human world, human experts entering the Forbidden Domain were also restricted, and they dared not to be too arrogant. Otherwise, the threatened powers in the Forbidden Domain would not hesitate to send powerful creatures to besiege humans.

She had to solve the problem of her high soul temperature as soon as possible. Therefore, Chu Mu decided to go with Liu Binglan to the deep Forbidden Domain together to acquire the Heavenly Immortal Ice from that desolate Forbidden Domain information!

The Desolate Forbidden Domain was an area where even the strongest humans dared not to enter. The Soul Pets inside were incredibly powerful. Liu Binglan absolutely refused to let Chu Mu follow her into such a dangerous place.

But, helplessly, Liu Binglan was indeed a little lost in the Forbidden Domain, and her ability to adapt to the wild environment was even inferior to Chu Mu’s.

Liu Binglan didn’t want Chu Mu’s soul temperature issue to drag on any longer, so finally, she agreed to Chu Mu’s request. Anyway, she would do her best to protect Chu Mu’s safety along the way, making sure not to let those things touch even Chu Mu’s hair!

When Chu Mu used to cultivate alone, he occasionally followed experts to higher-level places and encountered ordinary Soul Pets. He would handle them himself, honing his abilities. When he encountered intermediate Emperor-level or higher Soul Pets, Liu Binglan would step in and even acquire some resources from the Forbidden Domain. Why not? As long as Chu Mu didn’t overly rely on Liu Binglan, having someone to guide him in his training could yield better results at a certain level.

Of course, they would not set out right away.

Chu Mu planned to improve all his Soul Pets to the emperor level before going with Liu Binglan.

For others, this might take a long time. But Chu Mu still had Zhan Ye, Ghost Dome King, Ice-Feathered Spirit, and Ye. These four Soul Pets hadn’t reached the emperor level yet, so relying on his Low-grade Emperor Little Mo Xie, White Demon, Demon Tree Warrior, Wind-binding Spirit, and Fox Elder’s ability to search for spirits, it wouldn’t be too much of a problem to obtain the resources for them.

…

The war between the West and the Sky Demon Worms continued…

During the latter stages, humans gradually gained some advantages in the chaos and stabilized the situation.

A significant reason for making the invading Sky Demon Worm army fearful so quickly was the gathering of numerous human top experts who had shattered several high-level tribes of the Sky Demon Worm army.

As long as the high-level tribe is defeated, the remaining problems wouldn’t be difficult to solve. Carrying on, the Sky Demons would surely be unable to bear the tremendous losses.

With the slight ebbing trend of the Sky Demon Worms’ offensive and Chu Mu’s gradual increase in strength, this war against the Sky Demon Worms no longer satisfied Chu Mu’s training needs, nor did it provide the resources he needed to strengthen his soul pets.

Therefore, Chu Mu didn’t plan to continue staying in the West Region, and decided to head to World City, visit the top-ranked mysterious realms nearby World City, or wander through the Holy Regions of the Soul Hall.

In the war, Chu Mu had given the Chu Family almost all of the items he had obtained within the tenth level. The Chu Family continuously supplied crystal stones needed for the war from Seven Color City, becoming the resource supply base for the West Region and gradually prospering.

Chu Tianren made many great contributions in this war too, raising the prestige of the Chu Family. Chu Tianren was no longer young, and wasn’t interested in wandering around anymore. He planned to stay put and hold the fort at the Chu Family.

…

Bidding farewell to the Chu Family, Chu Mu and Liu Binglan headed eastward.

Since Liu Binglan, as a Female Superior, had matters concerning the Soul Hall to deal with and couldn’t accompany Chu Mu all the time, they decided to attend to their own matters after arriving in World City, with Chu Mu focusing on training, cultivation, resources, and strengthening soul pets.

…

“I haven’t been in Soul Hall for a few years. The totem of the Holy Region has been severely damaged, and its energy is also exhausted. If we don’t repair it, the gate to the Holy Region may be closed,” Liu Binglan mentioned this matter to Chu Mu during dinner.

“As long as I don’t use half-demonization, I can still control my soul temperature. It’s not a big deal to postpone my trip to the Desolate Forbidden Zone,” said Chu Mu.

Chu Mu had heard Holy Guard Leader Zhuo Nong mention the matter of the seven Holy Regions.

Once, Chu Mu wanted to enter the Xuan Zhen Holy Region to obtain insect-type spirit items, but the totem couldn’t be activated. The Holy Region’s gate was closed, forcing Chu Mu to change his plan and try the tenth-ranked Mysterious Realm, the Jue Insect Cave, in the south of World City.

Compared to Chu Mu’s current strength, the infinite space and unknown resources of the Holy Region could bring him more benefits and training.

“Ok, as soon as there’s an abnormal situation, make sure to tell your mother in time,” Liu Binglan said.

“I will,” Chu Mu nodded.

Chu Mu suddenly remembered that Elder Ting had mentioned an anomaly in Immortal City not long ago, so he asked, “What’s going on in Immortal City? Did some creature break the seal on its own?”

“We haven’t figured it out yet. We can’t spare manpower from the Soul Hall at the moment,” Liu Binglan said, rubbing her temples lightly.

Many Soul Emperors in World City’s Soul Hall had participated in the Sky Demon Worm war, and several had been transferred back to Wanxiang City. Chu Mu could count the number of Soul Emperors still in World City’s Soul Hall with his fingers.

Just at this time, a pile of accumulated problems surged over the past few years, and to a certain extent, they all required someone of Liu Binglan’s caliber to handle them. This made her overworked recently and always appearing with a trace of weariness on her beautiful face.

“I’ll go take a walk in Immortal City,” Chu Mu noticed Liu Binglan’s tiredness and, as a Soul Emperor whose strength was not inferior to a Palace Master, he decided to share some of her workload.

“Immortal City’s seals contain many powerful creatures, including quite a few intermediate emperor level ones. It’s not safe for you to go,” Liu Binglan shook her head.

“I’ll be careful,” Chu Mu said.

Chu Mu still remembered that the target of the defecting girl was Immortal City, and there was an anomaly in Immortal City. Chu Mu suspected it was a master sent by the defecting girl who had sneaked in. Chu Mu wanted to know what the defecting girl’s purpose was in painstakingly entering Immortal City, and this time he could use the inspection as an excuse to find out.

After a few negotiations, Liu Binglan agreed to Chu Mu’s request and handed over the inspection authority of Immortal City to Chu Mu.

“By the way, the Eternal Spring Water was stolen during the last World Decree. We still haven’t found the culprit. You were in Immortal City at that time. Who do you think is suspicious?” Liu Binglan remembered the Eternal Spring Water incident and asked Chu Mu.

“No one,” Chu Mu said calmly, then lowered his head and continued eating the dishes.

“Someone even dared to steal the Eternal Spring Water. I haven’t been in the World Realm for a few years, and some malicious people have become more rampant,” Liu Binglan’s face turned cold with anger.

The Eternal Spring Water was an extremely precious treasure, and as an Honorable Lady of the Soul Hall, as well as one of the authoritative judges of the Soul Alliance Sixteen Extremes, Liu Binglan couldn’t tolerate such a heinous crime!

At this moment, Chu Mu continued to eat diligently, not voicing any opinions.

Chu Mu knew that the “Cold Beauty” was notoriously impartial, and just to be safe, he decided not to tell her about this. Although Chu Mu also believed that even if he told her, Liu Binglan wouldn’t do anything to him, there was no need to deliberately clash with her duties…

Realizing she had been too serious just now, Liu Binglan thought of the fact that she had just succeeded in changing Chu Mu’s impression of her and didn’t want to show her cold face to him again.

“Eat more. These foods have some ice attribute effects that are good for your body,” the Cold Beauty soon wore a loving smile again, and looked at the guilt-ridden Chu Mu with soft eyes.
