Chapter 1269 - Chapter 1269 Chapter 1133 Soul Marionette Magic Spirit

Chapter 1269: Chapter 1133: Soul Marionette, Magic Spirit Chapter 1269: Chapter 1133: Soul Marionette, Magic Spirit The largest border city in the southern part of the Cloud Realm is Wang City.

Wang Region is a fifth-level Earth Realm affiliated with the Cloud Realm, and indeed, Wang City is the border city of this Earth Realm.

The destination that Chu Mu and the others were heading to, the Chaotic Lost Realm, was precisely in the southeastern position of Wang Region.

The prosperity of a fifth-level border town indeed surpassed that of Wanxiang City, coupled with their unique architectural style, when the five of them entered this city, they could feel that strong exotic cultural atmosphere.

“It seems like the ruler here is also surnamed Mu. It seems we’ve come across quite a number of the Mu surname along our journey. Goddess Mu, have you found your root clan!” Ye Wansheng looked at the ruling monument erected on the Main street, then turned back and said to Mu Qingyi.

Mu Qingyi herself was unclear about what was going on, as there indeed were many with the surname Mu in the Cloud Realm, including those on the ruling monuments of the Earth Realms they had previously traversed, adorned with many names of the Mu Clan members.

A distinctive feature of the border cities of the Cloud Realm is that on the Main street of every border city, instead of a statue of its ruler, there stood a grand and imposing ruling monument, on which the name of the person ruling the city would be inscribed.

Mu Qingyi subconsciously glanced at the ruling monument, and indeed, the ruler of Wang City was of the surname Mu. Her gaze swept over the monument but suddenly halted on the name of the previous ruler.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Qingzi walked over to her side and saw that Mu Qingyi’s expression had changed, she asked.

“This name is the same as that of my great-uncle,” Mu Qingyi said, pointing to the name listed under the Vice City Master’s Position.

Ye Qingzi followed her gaze, noticing that the name of the Vice City Master written was Mu Ruanen. Of course, no one knew who Mu Ruanen was; they just looked at Mu Qingyi in confusion.

Could it be that this is indeed the Mu Clan’s Territory?

“Let’s go to the City Lord Mansion and ask,” Chu Mu suggested.

Mu Qingyi hesitated. She had not seen her great-uncle Mu Ruanen many times, so it was almost impossible to recognize him by appearance.

However, in order to find information about her other family members, it seemed they had no choice but to go to the City Lord’s Mansion to inquire.

The five of them followed the avenue directly towards the location of the City Lord Mansion. In Wang City, the number of people with light green pupils and light blue pupils gradually increased, but the majority still had light black and light brown pupils.

As they entered the vicinity of the City Lord Mansion, the solemn Guards at the entrance stopped the five of them.

“Who goes there, do you have a token?” The middle-aged Guard asked sternly.

“I am Mu Qingyi, from a foreign land, the great-niece of your Vice City Master Mu Ruanen. Please relay the message,” Mu Qingyi stated succinctly.

The Guard gave Mu Qingyi a brief appraisal. Being often stationed at the gate, he naturally knew how to assess people, and the noble and ethereal aura this woman emanated was difficult to falsify.

But still, the Vice City Master was of a status not so easily accessed by just anyone who wished entry; otherwise, the City Master would be irritated to death just hearing all the reports.

“Go and inform the Guard families,” the chief Guard told a junior Guard beside him.

Hearing the order from the chief Guard, Mu Qingyi felt somewhat dissatisfied. She was already uncertain if this Vice City Master was her relative, and so she frowned and said, “Inform the Vice City Master directly, do not waste my time.”

The chief Guard was momentarily stunned, looking at the dignified Mu Qingyi.

“Inform Lord Mu,” the chief Guard finally changed his tone.

The junior Guard glanced at Mu Qingyi and then quickly entered the City Lord Mansion.

…

City Lord’s Hall

Sitting on the high seat in the Hall was the city master, Li Ziran, with the Vice City Master Mu Ruanen beside him.

“I don’t want to talk about it anymore, anyway, I’m not going to send anyone. You’re dispatching my subordinates to Luo Yingjiao, where sending any number of people would result in just as many deaths. Do the math yourself, how many Generals have survived there for over twenty years?” Mu Ruanen said with great dissatisfaction.

Li Ziran showed a gentle smile and responded, “Let’s not discuss Luo Yingjiao for now. Since the Magic Spirit has appeared on our Territory, there’s no need for us to concede without a fight, right?”

“In any case, I will not send anyone. I don’t have that many people under me,” Mu Ruanen coldly snorted.

Li Ziran still maintained his smile. With the Vice City Master’s stubborn temperament, there was not much he, as the city master, could do.

Especially since now Li Ziran did not have any Experts suitable for capturing the Magic Spirit.

The Magic Spirit was a rare find, and they were among the first to receive the news. If they didn’t move quickly, someone else would seize the opportunity.

Both city masters kept silent. Li Ziran looked boredly outside and noticed a reporting guard standing there.

“What is it, speak up,” Li Ziran said.

“Sir, there is a young lady outside who claims to be the niece of Mu City’s master, wishing to see Mu City’s master,” the guard reported from outside the hall.

“A niece, Mu old chap, where did you get a niece from?” Li Ziran used this to change the subject and ease the mood a bit.

“How should I know? My third brother and my father are of the same ilk, never settling down, leaving feelings everywhere, and then expecting us to arrange for these kids born from God knows which country women. If these kids were promising, I would have taken them under my wing, but instead, each of them has mixed lineage, low innate talent, lazy, not only causing me trouble but also stirring up issues. Hmph, old man, I’m not in the mood today, send her away,” Mu Ruanen said with an impatient wave of his hand.

Mu Ruanen was indeed in a bad mood at the moment. He stood up and walked towards the side door, reluctant to stay any longer.

City Lord Li Ziran forced a smile, wondering why he felt like Mu Ruanen seemed more like the actual city master, while he himself seemed more like a vice city master.

“Forget it, I’ll meet her. After all, she’s family,” Li Ziran glanced at the guard and then said, “Bring them in.”

Li Ziran wasn’t busy with anything at the moment and wouldn’t normally deal with these issues for Mu Ruanen.

At this level of strength and position, there would always be these inexplicable incidents that would plague anyone. Just like Mu Ruanen said, it’s difficult to deal with these unknown relatives — ignoring them makes one appear cold-hearted, but taking them in is a burden. When one is frustrated, there’s a real urge to sweep them all away.

Li Ziran sipped his tea, still contemplating the Magic Spirit matter. As he did, a guard brought the visitors in and he had nearly forgotten the trivial matter at hand.

When Mu Qingyi walked into the city master’s hall, she scanned the sitting city master briefly and frowned slightly.

Mu Qingyi had met her third grandfather when she was very young, so she had a rough image in her mind, yet the person sitting on the high seat did not match that image at all.

Seeing that the other party was also preoccupied, Mu Qingyi didn’t waste time and politely said, “I apologize, I’ve mistaken you for someone else.”

After speaking, Mu Qingyi turned to leave, leaving the other four in complete bewilderment.

“Cough cough, I apologize, I am City Lord Li Ziran, not Mu Ruan En. I was just a bit distracted by some thoughts,” Li Ziran coughed awkwardly and thought to himself, this young lady really does have a straightforward temper, leaving immediately upon not finding the person she was looking for, which seemed different from those who purposefully come to seek favors.

Mu Qingyi then stepped back and looked at the city lord with confusion.

“Please, take a seat. Someone will arrange accommodations for you soon,” Li Ziran said.

“Accommodations? City Lord, there may be some misunderstanding. I merely wanted to confirm if Vice City Master Mu Ruanen is indeed my grandfather and had no plans to stay here,” Mu Qingyi said.

Li Ziran was not stupid; from just a few questions, he guessed that Mu Qingyi was clearly different from the previously mentioned individuals. Most importantly, Li Ziran could feel that the five visitors who had come in were all quite strong, and they surely wouldn’t need to resort to such means to seek fortune.

“Mu Ruanen is busy right now and cannot be disturbed. Where are you all from, and where are you headed? I don’t recall seeing such young experts in Wang City,” Li Ziran said.

Li Ziran’s tone and attitude were quite gentle, without much of a city master’s air.

“It’s inconvenient to say where we are from, but we are headed to the Guangtong Lost Realm for training,” Mu Qingyi answered.

“Oh? The Guangtong Lost Realm,” Li Ziran’s eyebrows raised unconsciously.

The place where Magic Spirits appeared was indeed the Guangtong Lost Realm.

Li Ziran continued to ask, “How strong are you, if you don’t mind divulging?”

Mu Qingyi shook her head directly; strength was not something to be disclosed carelessly. If you can guess it, then you’re impressive.

“Hehe, the thing is, I have some information here. Since you are going to the Guangtong Lost Realm, if you are willing to take on a task entrusted to me by the Elders, you could handle this matter,” Li Ziran didn’t like to beat around the bush and spoke frankly.

“So without recognizing the kinship, we’ve got ourselves a side quest,” Ye Wansheng muttered to himself.

The city master coughed awkwardly and spoke up, “It’s not that I’m instructing you to do anything in particular, it just seems a pity to not grasp the opportunity. The thing is, someone discovered a Magic Spirit in the Guangtong Lost Realm. I can’t spare anyone from here at the moment. Since you are headed there for training, it’s something you could check out along the way, right?”

“What is a Magic Spirit?” Chu Mu asked directly.

“…” Lord Li started to doubt whether these individuals were Peak Soul Emperors, as they hadn’t even heard of Magic Spirits.

Fortunately, Lord Li was patient and explained with a smile, “A Magic Spirit is a type of special ‘Soul Pet,’ which, if categorized, would fall under the Ghost Race. It is similar to a spirit marionette that can enter the human body, conducting soul puppetry in reverse to repair severely damaged souls while also granting special strength to souls. It might even allow souls to ascend. It’s a Soul Pet, but once you sign a soul contract with it, it’s as if your own soul has been strengthened.”

Chu Mu and company all looked confused. They had never heard of this kind of creature that could repair and strengthen one’s soul through a soul contract.

“Young Master, this Magic Spirit is essentially an excellent medicine for soul restoration. And being called a spirit marionette, it’s because it can mimic a human soul. If one’s own soul suffers a fatal attack, the Magic Spirit can act as a marionette to shield the master from soul attacks. A Magic Spirit itself doesn’t have much combat power, but its soul defense is incredibly strong. Of course, for someone of an Abnormal Human Series like the Young Master, its effect might not be significant, but it could be beneficial for humans,” (to be continued.
