Chapter 1054 - Chapter 1054 Chapter 919 Main Soul Hall

Chapter 1054: Chapter 919: Main Soul Hall Chapter 1054: Chapter 919: Main Soul Hall Wanxiang City seemed as prosperous and peaceful as it always had, but those living in the inner city were acutely aware that the Three Great Palaces and the Soul Covenant were engaged in a bloodless war within Wanxiang City!

The struggle for control of Wanxiang City was of critical importance to both powers, and most of their upper echelons were stationed in Wanxiang City. However, before the conflicts over other territories in the Wanxiang Realm were settled, it was unlikely for either side to start a war in Wanxiang City. After all, once a war broke out in the city, it would result in an irrepressible civil war among humans.

Therefore, although Wanxiang City could hardly be considered a neutral city, the Soul Covenant and the Three Great Palaces were unlikely to make any overly aggressive moves for the time being. Even minor frictions from the past were deliberately suppressed.

The Three Great Palaces of Wanxiang City were located in three directions around the Wanxiang Altar, occupying a vast expanse of land within the inner city.

In the center of the Wanxiang Altar, roughly a hundred palaces belonged to the forces of the Three Great Palaces. Beneath the base of the Wanxiang Altar lay a vast Spiritual Origin, so the original architects intentionally constructed the entire Wanxiang City to be a spiritual residence. Nearly every palace within the Wanxiang Altar could benefit from the nourishment of Spiritual Energy, which was immensely beneficial for the cultivation of Soul Pet Masters and their Soul Pets.

Of course, due to the architects’ intentional design, the higher a palace was situated within the Wanxiang Altar, the faster the spiritual energy flowed, and the more concentrated it became. Often, Emperor-level Soul Pets could strengthen themselves merely by basking in the nourishment provided here.

This was why so many strong ones yearned to enter the Wanxiang Altar. In such a spiritual place, one need not exhaust spiritual sources to feed their Soul Pets and could significantly accelerate their increase in strength.

Chu Mu still preferred to reside within the Soul Hall, where at least safety could be best guaranteed.

As for the palaces within the Wanxiang Altar that belonged to the Soul Hall, Chu Mu had no plans to visit them yet. With Ning Man’er, his mobile spiritual source, the spiritual energy of the Wanxiang Altar held little allure for him, and he was only mildly interested in the experts who lived above.

In Chu Mu’s opinion, the Soul Hall in World City should be the true foundation of the Soul Hall, given that the Seven Holy Regions were all located within it.

Indeed, the Soul Hall of Wanxiang City was much larger than any other city’s Soul Hall, and the building materials used were incredibly sturdy. Even Emperor-level creatures attacking with full force would find it difficult to destroy these palaces.

Wanxiang City’s Soul Hall did not have a Main Hall, which were typically used to receive wandering members of the Soul Hall and to carry out rewards, trades, commissions, missions, and other such activities for Soul Hall members during their cultivation journey.

The threshold to enter the inner city of Wanxiang City was extremely high. Moreover, since the inner city house was the most authoritative Main Soul Hall in the entire Wanxiang Realm, only individuals with a certain status could enter. There were almost no idle members.

Even if there were idle members, they would likely go to the Sub-Palaces in the middle and outer cities, as they did not qualify to step into this Main Soul Hall in the inner city.

Thus, the Main Soul Hall had no Main Hall; there were only layers upon layers of smooth Crystal Stones forming upward-extending staircases and countless lifelike Soul Pet statues.

At the top of the stairs was a plaza with a floor mirror-like in its smoothness. Standing at this height, one could overlook an entire direction of Wanxiang City.

Behind the plaza stood the towering and imposing Main Soul Hall, which felt like facing an icy, solemn giant.

“Brother, I want this palace too!” Ning Man’er said crisply.

Ning Man’er had spent most of her time in deep mountains and old forests, and upon seeing such a spectacular and grand palace, her eyes naturally flickered with excitement, wishing she could claim them all and freely wander among the towering columns, smooth corridors, and majestic doors.

“Then I’ll give it to you,” suddenly, a man’s voice chimed in.

That line should have been Chu Mu’s, but somehow someone else had beaten him to it. He glanced over at the man who made the astonishing statement and sized him up.

The man was well-proportioned and masculine, dressed opulently and regally. With a striking appearance and an imposing aura, he could captivate even a man upon first glance.

“Little beauty, which other palace do you like? Aside from the row in the back, I can gift any of them to you to play,” the handsome man continued.

“What’s that row in the back?” Ning Man’er tiptoed, trying to see the so-called rear row of palaces. Unfortunately, the front row of palaces already completely obstructed her view, and she couldn’t see what lay deeper.

“Those are also part of the Soul Hall, but if I give any away, I’ll get scolded,” the man said with a smile.

Ye Qingzi was sizing up the man just like Chu Mu when she heard him speak. She whispered to Chu Mu, “Do you know this person? He talks big. Each palace in this Main Soul Hall should be worth a fortune; how can he just give them away to someone?”

Chu Mu shook his head, “He’s probably some prodigal young master. I’ve met the Eighth Young Master Fang Ze and the Third Young Master Teng Lang, but I don’t know the others.”

“Aren’t you also a young master? How come you’re not giving me a few palaces?” Ye Qingzi intentionally clung tighter to Chu Mu’s arm, her beautiful eyes gleaming teasingly, with a hint of coquetry.

Chu Mu found it rare to see Ye Qingzi so coquettish and couldn’t help but kiss her fair cheek, saying, “I’ve given myself to you–that’s worth more than these palaces.”

Ye Qingzi twisted Chu Mu’s arm without any politeness. She had long known that this guy was incurably shameless when he got thick-skinned and regretted deliberately teasing Chu Mu in such a public setting.

While Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were exchanging playful banter, Ning Man’er was lured away by a very handsome man at some point, who was earnestly introducing her to these palaces, boasting extravagantly about them.

Chu Mu didn’t mind this at all and let the man take Ning Man’er away.

“Aren’t you going to look after that girl? What if she gets taken advantage of by that guy who looks like a prince?” Ye Qingzi glanced at Ning Man’er, who had walked away.

“It’s better if she’s taken away, so she won’t bother us all the time,” Chu Mu replied.

“What an irresponsible brother you are,” Ye Qingzi rolled her eyes at Chu Mu.

“It’s okay, let her have some fun on her own,” Chu Mu said.

“But I always feel that man gives off a somewhat unreliable vibe,” Ye Qingzi pointed at the elegantly dressed, dignified man.

Ye Qingzi had previously traveled extensively with her brother, Ye Wansheng, and was not as naive and blindly admiring as most girls. Men who were supposedly refined and well-dressed were practically invisible to her, cold as a block of ice, which naturally made those men withdraw.

Ye Qingzi noticed that the handsome man had first deliberately sized her up and then, after revealing a look of disappointment, turned his attention to Ning Man’er. Although he hid it well, Ye Qingzi, being good at noticing details, judged that he was up to no good.

On her travels, she often encountered self-satisfied people who would come up to chat, and under her brother’s presence, these folks would always find some excuse. Ye Qingzi had seen enough of this to see straight through the handsome man and know his true value.

“That girl is very sharp,” Chu Mu remarked.

No matter where they went, there were always those who took an interest in girls like Ning Man’er, who was around fourteen or fifteen, especially those with “ulterior motives.” Whenever they saw the clarity and purity in Ning Man’er’s eyes, they always thought this angelic girl would be easy to deceive, but in fact, Ning Man’er herself enjoyed it most when such people approached her because then she could unabashedly torment these unscrupulous guys, and she never tired of it.

Chu Mu really didn’t bother with Ning Man’er and simply led Ye Qingzi into the Soul Hall.

The Tenth Level Vice Order still held sway even in the Main Soul Hall, so entering it wasn’t a big problem.

“Are you Chu Fangchen?” the guiding Holy Guard asked curiously as he sized up Chu Mu.

“Yeah,” Chu Mu nodded.

It seemed that many in the Soul Hall knew his name.

“I’ve heard much about you. I am the Holy Guard Captain of Linyin Hall – Jia Ren,” the self-proclaimed Jia Ren, the Holy Guard Captain, said very politely.

This Holy Guard Captain also seemed quite young, with strength probably around the Low Spirit Soul Emperor level. It seems after the events in Spirit City and Snow City spread, there must be quite a few in the Soul Hall who admired Chu Mu, and this Holy Guard Captain Jia Ren was one of them.

Along the way, Jia Ren kept talking about the heartening battles in Snow City and Spirit City then inquired about the specific details of Chu Mu’s experiences. The captain’s adulation and enthusiasm were really a bit too much for Chu Mu to take.

“Speaking of which, do you know who that well-dressed man at the entrance was?” Chu Mu asked casually.

“Oh, that was the Second Young Master Ying Xiang… uh, he didn’t offend Miss Ye, did he?” Jia Ren asked with a strange look on his face.

“No, he was very sensible. But he did whisk away my sister,” Chu Mu said nonchalantly, and then corrected himself, “Since he’s the Second Young Master, it probably doesn’t count as deceiving.”

“This… misunderstanding. I’ll inform the Second Young Master right away,” Jia Ren replied, his face growing even more uncomfortable.

Jia Ren was well aware that Chu Fangchen’s status was definitely not inferior to that of a true Young Master and might even be considered by the elders on par with the Crown Prince. Though the Second Young Master held a high position, if he offended Chu Fangchen, he would surely get a scolding from the elders.

“The Second Young Master just likes to flaunt his status with pretty girls; his conduct is a bit casual, but he wouldn’t abuse his power or do anything improper. You can rest assured on that, Brother Chu,” Jia Ren said earnestly. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (NovelFire.net) where you can cast your votes and monthly tickets.
