Chapter 1313 - Chapter 1313 Chapter 1177 Chu Tianmang Wanted

Chapter 1313: Chapter 1177: Chu Tianmang Wanted Chapter 1313: Chapter 1177: Chu Tianmang Wanted Forty-six Cities, the structure and vastness of Cloud City were indeed astonishing. Passing through the First City, which rivaled the scale of World City, the six of them often paused on their journey, curious to discover what new things Cloud City held.

Of course, their main purpose was official business. After roaming around for a while, they gathered information about the auction of Demon Spirits.

The auction house where Wan Meng was located was in the 24th City, a city that was unique because it was completely commercialized. Within this 24th City, it was even hard to spot any residents or organizations; the air was filled with the scent of trading and dealing everywhere.

There were few living quarters in the 24th City, and after much searching, they finally found a courtyard near the edge of a cliff, which seemed as though it would tumble down from the mountain cliff.

After renting the courtyard, Chu Mu stood in the courtyard with mountain stairs, his gaze fixed on the magnificent and luxurious building in the distance.

That building had a dome with a dragon sculpture sprawled on top, its eyes directly staring in this direction, displaying the opulence, luxury, and authority of the auction house.

The Demon Spirit they sought to rescue was in that golden auction house. Now, they had to think of a way to get past the heavy guards and rescue the Home Seeker. Of course, the direct method of traversing cities that was used in Wen City could not be repeated; although there was only a slight difference in level, the experts in Cloud City definitely outnumbered those in Wen City.

After reaching the courtyard, Princess Jinrou appeared, floating out. Seeing Chu Mu locked in thought, she spoke, “The simplest method is just to buy it outright, but unfortunately…”

“Yeah,” Chu Mu nodded. It indeed was the simplest method, but the issue was that they were short on funds. An Emperor-level Demon Spirit had fetched 2200 Xuan in Wen City, and in the wealthier Cloud City, the price was expected to soar even higher.

Ghost Jinrou caressed the little Curse Fox in her arms, helping Chu Mu brainstorm ways to rescue the Home Seeker.

Many Demon Spirits were being auctioned, and despite being a Dominator Demon Spirit, it knew that saving all of them was hardly possible. Its goal was merely to call back the Home Seeker; as for the other Demon Spirits, if they were to sign a soul pact with humans, then so be it, there wasn’t much else it could do.

Chu Mu soon focused on the Heavenly Mountain Curse Fox that Princess Jinrou was holding, somewhat puzzled as to how this little one could touch Princess Jinrou’s body.

Princess Jinrou, possessing the Mind Reading Technique, saw Chu Mu’s confusion and explained, “Those who sign a soul pact with me can touch me.”

As Mu Qingyi had mentioned before, this Little Ice Fox indeed was the best gift for Princess Jinrou upon awakening, and only such a spiritually rich Little Ice Fox could help her gradually forget the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon that had sacrificed its life for her.

“Chu Mu, Chu Mu!” Ye Wansheng rushed back frantically from outside, holding a scroll that looked somewhat like a wanted notice.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Mu asked.

“Look at this name, Chu Tianmang, and there’s a rough sketch.” Ye Wansheng said.

Chu Mu quickly took the scroll from him, and after so long across the Cloud Gate, he finally had news of his father.

The drawing on the scroll was sketchy, but Chu Mu could make out the features of Chu Tianmang; adding the name, there was no doubt the person on the scroll was Chu Tianmang.

“Where did you find it?” Chu Mu asked, somewhat agitated.

“This…” Ye Wansheng hesitated for a good while before speaking, “It was on the wanted list, and moreover, it’s a warrant issued by the Divine Sect.”

Chu Mu was stunned. How could his father be wanted, and by the Divine Sect at that?

“Take me there,” Chu Mu said.

Ye Wansheng nodded, leading the way.

Princess Jinrou did not follow; her ghostly form was not very suitable to appear in front of others.

Passing through the heavy atmosphere of the commercial street, Ye Wansheng led Chu Mu to the Warrant Mansion established by the city master of every city. The Divine Sect and the city posted wanted criminals in the Warrant Mansion, and bounty hunters could freely accept the rewards as long as they could bring the wanted criminals back.

Ye Wansheng, who was idle at the time, found the Warrant Mansion quite interesting. So, he went in to take a look and unexpectedly discovered the name and portrait of Chu Tianmang hanging on the bright red wall and quickly asked someone for a copy of the drawing, rushing back to give it to Chu Mu.

“A reward of 4000 Xuan, this is even higher than a Medium-grade Dominator Level profound artefact, ranking high on the list,” Ye Wansheng said.

“Who issued this warrant?” Chu Mu inquired from the person managing the Warrant Mansion.

“It was Lu Guan of the Divine Sect, just posted not long ago,” the manager said.

“Lu Guan?” Ye Wansheng seemed to recall something and spoke up, “The teacher of Xu Daofeng seemed to have the surname Lu, and she appears to hold a high position within the Divine Sect.”

Chu Mu wryly smiled. Just recently, he felt that the Divine Sect member with the surname Lu had a demeanor somewhat similar to his mother’s, yet he had not expected that in such a short span, she would put his father on the wanted list…

“They didn’t even write the reason on there, I reckon quite a few assassins will take up this job. 4000 Xuan, that’s a big sum. Chu Mu, how come your father is worth so much?” Ye Wansheng commented.

“I don’t know,” Chu Mu replied.

From the price of the bounty, Chu Tianmang’s strength must have reached Intermediate Lord Level or above, a conjecture that was both beyond Chu Mu’s expectations and within his assumptions.

“Let’s ask Xu Daofeng,” Ye Wansheng said. “Anyway, we need to deal well with this guy, and it will also give us a clearer direction regarding the independence of the territory.”

Chu Mu nodded and returned to the Mountain Courtyard with Ye Wansheng, planning to find Xu Daofeng the next day to inquire about the warrant issue.

Not long after Chu Mu and Ye Wansheng returned to the courtyard, Ye Qingzi and Mu Qingyi brought back some very unfortunate news for everyone.

Mu Qingyi had gone to the General of City Defense’s mansion to look for her grandfather, Mu Zuoli, who was not in Cloud City at the moment.

From General Mu’s mansion, Mu Qingyi learned that her wandering grandfather, King Mu, seemed to have offended the nobles of Frontier City again. He was now exiled to an unknown place and permanently stripped of his territorial rights.

Vice City Master Mu Ruanen of Wang City was also in Cloud City at the time. He only learned of this news after arriving at General Mu’s mansion and then informed Mu Qingyi about it.

“Additionally, Great-Uncle told me that the Li Family has already heard the news of Li Kuangdeng being killed in New Moon Land. It won’t be long before they send someone stronger to take control,” Mu Qingyi said.

“King Mu is a bit unreliable, it seems we can only declare our territory independent,” Ye Wansheng said.

Chu Mu rubbed his temples; it seemed there were quite a few issues to resolve.

“What’s wrong? You look so worried,” Ye Qingzi walked over to Chu Mu and asked softly.

“Look at this.” Chu Mu took out the scroll.

“This is… isn’t this your father? How… how has he been wanted, and by the Divine Sect no less?”

After leaving Cloud Gate, they may not have known how vast this world really was, but through continuous hearing, they understood that the Divine Sect was an absolute authority, an organization that no one could defy or resist!

“4000 Xuan, Chu Tianmang is quite valuable,” Bai Yu came over and said with a laugh.

“Let’s put the matter of independence aside for now, at least until I reach the level of Soul Controller. We need to think of some clever ways to handle the Demon Spirit issue without causing too much commotion. As for this matter, I’ll ask Xu Daofeng about it tomorrow,” Chu Mu said.

Everyone knew that Chu Mu was very worried about his father and didn’t say much; the issue with the Demon Spirit was actually not too difficult, and with more thought, they would always find a solution.

…

The next day, early in the morning, Chu Mu left the house, accompanied only by Ye Qingzi.

The Divine Sect didn’t have a dedicated palace in the Cloud Realm, just a temporary, elegant mansion for residence.

According to inquiries, the number of Divine Sect members in the entire Cloud City would not exceed ten, setting up a palace for so few people would indeed be too extravagant and wasteful.

Chu Mu found the location in 17th City.

Almost all mansions and palaces in 17th City were in the form of large estates, and from a distance, the entire city was decorated with gardens, forests, green mountains, and lakes.

“Haha, great, I was just thinking about how to find you. Come in, come in quickly,” Xu Daofeng was very enthusiastic and friendly, personally coming out to welcome Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.

The two followed him into the hall; the Divine Sect member surnamed Lu didn’t seem to be there, only a few servants walking through the corridors.

“Without hiding it from you both, Xu Daofeng does have a favor to ask!” Xu Daofeng got straight to the point, and before Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi could speak, he made his request.

“What’s the matter?” Chu Mu asked.

“It’s like this. All apprentices of the Divine Sect must pass an assessment to become true members of the Divine Sect. In this assessment, the opposing fire poison appears, which cripples my Soul Pet’s strength by half, turning what was sure to be a smooth assessment into a precarious one. I’ve been buying everywhere fire poison suppressant medicine, but those are either too weak, limited in quantity, or outrageously expensive…”

“You want my wife to help you refine some medicine to resist fire poison, don’t you?” Chu Mu asked.

“Exactly, exactly!” Xu Daofeng immediately nodded, somewhat embarrassedly. It was indeed not very nice to ask for help so soon after meeting.

Previously, Ye Qingzi had often refined ice attribute Spirit Items for Chu Mu’s fearsome soul high temperature, so curing fire poison was a piece of cake for her.

Since others were requesting a favor first, Chu Mu could naturally use the opportunity to strengthen their relationship and also gather information about his father.

“I have all the ingredients. How long will Miss Ye need? Is five days enough? I have to participate in the assessment five days from now,” Xu Daofeng said, immediately smiling when the two agreed.

“Give me the materials, and someone can come to get them tomorrow,” Ye Qingzi said.

“Ah… that fast?” Xu Daofeng said somewhat surprised, but soon realized the woman in front of him must possess very high-level Xuan techniques; he quickly said, “Then… I will come to fetch it personally tomorrow. Where are you staying?”

“24th City, southern end, Manyu Mountain Courtyard,” Chu Mu said with a smile, not immediately asking about the information he wanted to know but planning to probe when he came in person tomorrow. This way, it wouldn’t seem abrupt and was less likely to arouse suspicion. (To be continued.
