Chapter 1301 - Chapter 1301 Chapter 1165 Fleeing the City

Chapter 1301: Chapter 1165: Fleeing the City Chapter 1301: Chapter 1165: Fleeing the City “Report!”

“Speak.”

“A female guest at the Xiao Residence possesses a young Emperor-level Demon Spirit Pet and has already signed a soul contract,” said the Dark Brown Hunter.

“Yeah, Xiao Leng actually still has secrets, let’s go and have a look,” Wan Meng said.

Xiao Leng had become a merchant by now, and Wan Meng naturally recognized him.

Wu Zhen also stepped forward, heading towards the Xiao Residence, though he left his massive Stone Wing Dragon behind.

…

In the front hall, Xiao Leng stood in the center, his expression somewhat ugly as he watched the three men walking straight towards him.

Xiao Leng was all too familiar with Chairman Lin from the Wen City Commerce Association; their relationship was neither bad nor could it really be called friendly.

The corpulent Wan Meng was well-known throughout the Cloud Realm, Vice-Chairman of the Cloud Realm Commerce Association, and because of some dealings with the Divine Sect, his power was even greater than that of the Chairman, making him a sly, unpredictable, and extremely hypocritical individual, very difficult to deal with.

As for the person beside Wan Meng, he was the real headache for Xiao Leng.

Boundary Commander Wu Zhen served the entire Earth Realm, was not constrained by any local city master, and commanded numerous experts and a vast army, most of which were stationed in cities or fortresses.

The force of Wu Zhen’s army was stationed at the Guangtong Fortress, but most of the time, he stayed in Wen City, making him one of the toughest individuals to deal with in the entire Cloud Realm.

The appearance of such a prominent Boundary Commander at his mansion brought considerable pressure to Xiao Leng.

“Xiao Leng, we’ve heard from our subordinates that there is an Emperor-level Demon Spirit here. May I know whose it is?” Wan Meng asked.

“Chairman Wan, this Demon Spirit was captured by them during their training in the Guangtong Lost Realm. Surely, Chairman Wan wouldn’t interfere with that too?” Xiao Leng said.

“Of course, we have no say over that, but could we meet this female guest?” Lin Li said.

Xiao Leng’s face showed difficulty, and his gaze shifted momentarily to Ye Qingzi who was sitting beside him.

Ye Qingzi recited a spell and summoned the Little Demon to the hall.

Upon the appearance of the Little Demon, all three men showed a hint of astonishment; they truly had not expected that the glamorous young woman beside them was the master of the Little Demon.

“It’s my Soul Pet. Is there a problem?” Ye Qingzi asked the three men with indifference.

“No problem, we just wanted to inquire about the origin of this Demon Spirit, as you know, our auction lost a batch of Demon Spirits scattered throughout this city, and we need to retrieve them,” Chairman Lin said.

“Is there a young Demon Spirit among those you lost?” Ye Qingzi countered.

“That, there isn’t… But as far as I know, the Demon Spirit we are looking for is trying to help other Emperor-level Demon Spirits escape this city. I think it’s likely to appear here and is greatly related to this Miss’s Emperor-level Demon Spirit,” Lin Li continued.

“That’s your concern. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave,” Ye Qingzi said.

Ye Qingzi didn’t even wait for their agreement, brushed past the three men, and walked towards the interior of the Xiao Residence.

The gaze of the three men followed Ye Qingzi, and from their eyes, one could discern a hint of jealousy.

The value of an Emperor-level Demon Spirit was very close to that of an Intermediate Master. How could they not be envious that such a young woman possessed an Emperor-level Demon Spirit, and moreover a young one?

“Xiao Leng, we will continue our search. I hope you won’t make it difficult for us,” Lin Li said.

“Feel free, but please don’t disturb my family.”

…

After leaving the front hall, Ye Qingzi, seeing that no one followed, immediately went back to the Ice Room.

Inside the Ice Room were Chu Mu, Bai Yu, Mu Qingyi, and the Ghost Princess, who was half-floating off the ground.

“They can detect a Demon Spirit that has been bound by a soul contract. They’re now continuing to search the other residents of the Xiao Residence; the Little Princess here will likely have difficulty hiding as well,” Ye Qingzi said.

Since the Dominator Demon Spirit had signed a soul contract with Princess Jinrou and allowed Princess Jinrou to revive in the form of a ghost with memories and thoughts, they, of course, couldn’t let that Dominator Demon Spirit be taken away.

Handling Lin Li and Wan Meng wouldn’t have been too difficult for Chu Mu and Bai Yu, but now with the addition of Commander Wu Zhen, things became more complicated; a Boundary Commander certainly possessed formidable strength, and Chu Mu was not completely confident he could cope with him.

“What now?” Mu Qingyi asked, looking at Chu Mu.

Chu Mu was also momentarily at a loss, merely looking at Ye Qingzi, who was still deep in thought, her lips pursed.

“Everyone seems troubled…” Princess Jinrou said distantly.

She did not realize that her awakening had brought such trouble to everyone, and she felt somewhat guilty.

“Hey, what are you all doing…whoa, what’s going on?!” Suddenly, a familiar voice burst in.

“This… this…” Another voice also expressed extreme surprise.

Chu Mu glanced at the two men who had entered the ice room, his eyes lighting up.

“Weren’t you two outside catching Demon Spirits in the Light Web? How did you get in?” Mu Qingyi immediately asked.

The two speaking were none other than Ye Wansheng and the Morning Crown Prince, and they were somewhat in disbelief upon seeing Princess Jinrou’s ghostly form as they entered the ice room.

“I am knowledgeable about formation diagrams, have you forgotten, uh… can you first tell me what’s going on,” Ye Wansheng said pointing at Princess Jinrou.

“Let’s discuss this later, we are in trouble now,” Chu Mu said.

Chu Mu didn’t allow Ye Wansheng to ramble on. This guy, like Master Li, could talk endlessly. Naturally, the fact that Ye Wansheng had managed to pass through the restrictions of the Light Web surprised Chu Mu and also brought good news to everyone.

The greatest challenge facing them was the Light Web. Once they broke out of the Light Web, they would have a lot of space to move around. Dark Brown Hunters could search this area one by one, but it was impossible to scour the entire city. Wen City was immensely large; at the rate they were searching, it would take more than a year.

“Qingzi, Morning Crown Prince, you two stay in the Xiao Residence first. Wait till things calm down before you reunite with us. Ye Wansheng, Qingyi, you come with me and Bai Yu, and we will take the Little Princess and escape the Light Web first,” Chu Mu said.

The Dark Brown Hunters had already seen Qingzi, and if she suddenly disappeared and tried to push through, it would bring a lot of trouble to Xiao Leng. Fortunately, Xiao Leng had warned them that there was a secret passage under the ice room leading to a nearby garden, so leaving the Xiao Residence early would not implicate the Xiao family.

Bai Yu picked up Princess Jinrou’s body and followed Chu Mu, Bai Yu, Mu Qingyi, and Ye Wansheng toward the underground tunnel of the ice room.

The Ghost Princess was following by her father’s side, her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing at her pale-faced self and then secretly looking at Bai Yu.

Once Qingzi confirmed that their rings could sense the Demon Spirits they had soul contracts with, Chu Mu and the others planned to leave the basement to avoid a battle in Xiao Leng’s mansion.

However, without finding a way to break the Light Web, even if they left Xiao Residence, they would surely be found wandering in this city area sooner or later.

Fortunately, Ye Wansheng understood how to break formations, so the Light Web was no longer a threat.

…

“Xiao Leng, what do you use this ice room for?” Wu Zhen asked with interest, looking at the ice room.

“I keep some Xuan Objects that need to be kept cold here to prevent the Xuan Energy from dissipating,” Xiao Leng replied.

Both Wan Meng and Lin Li understood this point; having an ice room wasn’t strange, and the ice rooms in their residences were far more luxurious.

“Then why is there a secret tunnel in the ice room?” Wu Zhen continued to ask.

Xiao Leng wasn’t flustered and said, “Doesn’t everyone have contingency plans? I’m sure there are also secret tunnels in some parts of your mansions to avoid some unexpected events. The tunnel leads to the small garden, and it would be good for you to send someone to check it out.”

“This secret tunnel is quite troublesome for us. If a Demon Spirit really is hiding here, when we search this place and it escapes through this tunnel, it will waste a lot of our time,” Lin Li said.

“Forget it, the Light Web is also shrinking. We will eventually catch all the Demon Spirits,” Wan Meng said.

The imprisonment of the Light Web included the underground, so reaching outside of the Light Web through the tunnel was unrealistic.

…

When the Dark Brown Hunters arrived to inspect the ice room, including the secret tunnel, Chu Mu and the others had already passed several patrolling Dark Brown Hunters and reached the edge of the Light Web.

Apparently very confident in the Light Web, Wan Meng didn’t bother to guard the edges, which made it much easier for Ye Wansheng to break the formation.

“This formation is actually very strong. If it weren’t for its vast range, I really wouldn’t have much confidence in breaking it — of course, even if it’s broken, only a small breach could be made,” Ye Wansheng said.

As he spoke, Ye Wansheng placed his hand on the Light Web. Chu Mu noticed that although this guy had indeed touched the Light Web, there was no phenomenon of light constriction, which was inconsistent with previous encounters of Demon Spirits with the Light Web.

The Raccoon Elder, a qualified mentor, knowing Chu Mu had doubts, started to explain, “Not every position in a formation diagram is powerful. The powerless spots are known as formation eyes. Formation eyes are generally where energy meets energy, forming a calm zone similar to the eye of a storm. The first thing to do to break a formation diagram is to find these formation eyes.”

“Master Raccoon, you sure know a lot, but I have bad news for everyone,” Ye Wansheng said.

“You can’t break it?” Bai Yu furrowed his brow.

“No, breaking formations also depends on a bit of luck, especially with such difficult ones. The position I pressed was indeed a formation eye, but once I tear open this eye, it will trigger another small formation. This small formation acts like a magic signal, directly informing the formation’s creator of a breach at this spot.”

“That means we can burst through the Light Web, but our location will be exposed immediately. Whether we can escape then is uncertain.”
