Chapter 1314 - Chapter 1314 Chapter 1178 Hidden Dangers of New Moon Land

Chapter 1314: Chapter 1178: Hidden Dangers of New Moon Land Chapter 1314: Chapter 1178: Hidden Dangers of New Moon Land Early this morning, Xu Daofeng was already waiting in the hall.

Chu Mu was somewhat surprised to see this guy; Xu Daofeng really was unusually diligent. He probably hadn’t even eaten breakfast before he got here.

“You’ve come quite early; she’s still on the last steps,” Chu Mu said as he approached Xu Daofeng.

Ye Qingzi was actually finished, but she hadn’t given it to him yet so that Chu Mu could better fish for information.

“I got impatient, I got impatient,” Xu Daofeng said somewhat awkwardly. “The teacher also told me to make a trip to the Territory Office, could I come over at noon?”

“I need to go to the Territory Office too, so you can lead the way for me. You can come back with me after you finish your business, she should be done by then,” Chu Mu said.

Xu Daofeng nodded, going to the Territory Office wasn’t any secret, so he took Chu Mu along with him.

“Chu Mu, where are you from?” Xu Daofeng asked. Since Chu Mu and others didn’t know even about the Forty-six Cities of Cloud City, he certainly wasn’t from the Cloud Realm.

“I am from the Land of the New Moon,” Chu Mu replied without hiding it because when applying for the territory’s independence, Xu Daofeng would definitely find out, so there was no difference in telling him sooner or later.

“The Land of the New Moon?” Xu Daofeng showed a puzzled expression, as if he had never heard of the place.

But after thinking carefully, he suddenly remembered the southernmost part of the Cloud Realm, divided by the Heavenly Mountains and bordered by the restricted area, there was a territory shaped like a crescent moon, known as the Land of the New Moon.

It was a barren land with a harsh environment, and people born there would certainly find it difficult to enjoy natural advantages like those in his place. Moreover, it seemed that the race there was mostly the Common Human Sub-race, the War General Level Humans, making it even harder to produce a Dominator Level Expert.

With that in mind, Xu Daofeng took a closer look at Chu Mu and thought to himself, “Could it be that this guy hasn’t reached the Dominator Level?”

Immediately after, Xu Daofeng shook his head. Ye Qingzi was a Xuan Master, and as her husband, there’s no reason not to have stepped into the Dominator Level.

“I haven’t been there, but I’ve heard the Land of the New Moon is quite secluded, isn’t it?” Xu Daofeng remarked.

“Indeed, the people there hardly know that there’s a Cloud Realm, a Frontier City, or a Divine Sect,” Chu Mu replied.

“Well, that is isolated indeed. Must be because of the geographical environment,” Xu Daofeng said.

During their conversation, they had already arrived at the Territory Office.

The Territory Office was an institution established within the Cloud Realm to manage private, forceful, and organizational exclusive territories. Chu Mu had real business at the Territory Office, as he wanted to know who now owned the Land of the New Moon, essentially finding out who his enemies would be at the time of independence.

“Could you check who owns the territory of the Land of the New Moon?” Chu Mu approached a young girl who was reading a book and asked.

The girl seemed uninterested in engaging and carelessly put down her book, slowly flipping open a thick dictionary-like book next to her and asked, “Which place did you say again?”

“The Land of the New Moon,” Chu Mu repeated.

The girl efficiently flipped to the back pages of the thick book, then directly pushed it from the edge of the table to Chu Mu, saying, “Take a look for yourself, and ask me if you don’t understand.”

Chu Mu took the book and saw that the page featured a large map, with a region shaped like an elongated crescent moon.

“The Land of the New Moon, named for its crescent-like geography, located between the Henghai, Dark Sky Sea, Zhehuang Empire, and Heavenly Mountain Range, is now inhabited by the Common Human Sub-clan, forming a Third-level Earthly Realm.”

Below the map was a brief introduction, followed by a textbook-like listing of the more common Soul Pet Races in that territory, prominently featuring many from the “Demon Beast World.”

The history of the Land of the New Moon followed thereafter, which was interesting. The book had very brief historical data on the Land of the New Moon, noting the reasons as it being surrounded on all sides and difficult to penetrate, almost severing connections with the Cloud Realm for an extended period.

Only when a Boundary Master’s Soul Pet cleaved through the Heavenly Mountains with a sword, leaving behind a Cloud Gate, did the Land of the New Moon gradually come into the people of the Cloud Realm’s view, with a succession of managers entering thereafter.

The first manager was a member of the Mu Clan who had made a mistake and been exiled to manage the Land of the New Moon.

Subsequently, the page listed quite a few people, all of whom Chu Mu hadn’t seen before.

“The Land of the New Moon is now managed by the Li Family, belonging to the lineage of Li Xu,” Chu Mu read aloud, slowly. He repeated the name ‘Li Xu’ again.

Looking up, Chu Mu glanced at the girl who was reading and asked, “Who is Li Xu?”

The girl rolled her eyes and said, “I only deal with territory domain knowledge I don’t know about; don’t ask me about such things.”

“…” Chu Mu gave a wry smile, wondering how he could encounter such a haughty girl in the Territory Office.

“Hey, Brother Chu, what a coincidence!” As Chu Mu was pondering, Xu Daofeng walked out from another room in the Territory Office.

Xu Daofeng, a member of the Divine Sect, had been received by somebody as soon as he arrived at the Territory Office, so when Chu Mu came in to inquire about the ownership of the Land of the New Moon, they had separated.

“What’s going on?” Chu Mu asked, somewhat perplexed.

“It’s like this, teacher had me familiarize myself with the regulations on territorial rights and handle some disputes; I just saw the Land of the New Moon in that long list of disputes and decided to pick it!” Xu Daofeng laughed heartily.

As Xu Daofeng spoke, the girl who was reading also sneakily glanced at Xu Daofeng and interjected, “You are a member of the Divine Sect?”

“Yes, little sister, is there anything you need?” Xu Daofeng said.

“Don’t call me little sister!” the girl said, clearly displeased.

“Alright.” Xu Daofeng also gave a bitter smile.

Chu Mu didn’t concern himself with the girl and started asking Xu Daofeng about the Land of the New Moon.

“Oh, it’s like this. A few years ago, the Li Xu lineage lost contact with the Land of the New Moon, so they sent someone to take over, but reportedly, the person who took over was killed, and it was said that now the Land of the New Moon is controlled by something called the Three Great Palaces, with someone called King Chu at the head, who proclaimed himself king of the territory. The Li family is extremely angry and plans to send an army there to suppress them,” Xu Daofeng explained.

“You mean the Land of the New Moon, haha, that place is actually not bad, I’ve heard that a lot of people are planning to go there, perhaps they can even become kings of the mountain,” a somewhat wild-looking man who overheard their conversation chimed in excitedly.

“There are people from Cloud Gate guarding it; they won’t just let anyone pass,” Xu Daofeng said.

“That’s where you are out of the loop. Recently, news came out that a disaster happened in Wild Forest, something like a king dying, or a war or something. Anyway, the Empire level of Wild Forest has dropped, posing not much of a threat to some experts anymore. Some capable people can directly cross Wild Forest to reach the Land of the New Moon, no need to take the route through Heavenly Mountain,” the wild-haired man said cheerfully.

On hearing this, Chu Mu furrowed his brows.

What the man referred to as Wild Forest was actually the East Madness Forest, the forbidden land to the east of the Land of the New Moon, which separated the humans of the Land of the New Moon from heading eastward, and also kept the people of the Cloud Realm from entering the Land of the New Moon.

The only safe route was the Heavenly Mountain Range, but its terrain was extremely high, reaching the Second Layer of Heaven, making crossing almost impossible, thus making Cloud Gate the only passage between the Land of the New Moon and Cloud Realm.

Now that Wild Forest had experienced a disaster, from originally being almost impossible to cross to now being not a major obstacle, it meant that gradually many people would flood into the Land of the New Moon, something Chu Mu did not want to see!

Originally, the appearance of someone to take over had already given Chu Mu some headaches, but now, even many adventurers from Cloud Realm were heading to the Land of the New Moon, perhaps it wouldn’t be long before the Land of the New Moon would be assimilated like other territories of Cloud Realm.

It felt like adding insult to injury. Helplessly, Chu Mu pulled Xu Daofeng aside and started discussing this matter.

“I won’t lie to you, I came to this Cloud Realm from the Land of the New Moon because I want the Land of the New Moon to become independent from Cloud Realm,” Chu Mu said very seriously and earnestly to Xu Daofeng.

“Independent territory!” Xu Daofeng was stunned.

As a member of Divine Sect, he knew the regulations very well. Although territorial independence was allowed, the likelihood of success was extremely low. Xu Daofeng looked at Chu Mu dumbfounded for a long time before asking, “You… you aren’t that King Chu, are you?”

Chu Mu nodded and replied, “That’s me.”

Then, Chu Mu briefed Xu Daofeng on the matter of Li Kuangdeng coming to take over and also expressed the entire situation of the closure and intent for self-independence of the Land of the New Moon.

“Cloud Realm indeed isn’t a qualified manager,” Xu Daofeng nodded.

Actually, anyone could see that in the past, the Land of the New Moon had been completely neglected, but as soon as it started to develop, Cloud Realm reached out its hands, such a manager was simply a greedy taker.

“I just checked the territorial ownership; currently, the Land of the New Moon is managed by the Li Xu lineage. You are a member of the Divine Sect, do you know what conditions must be met if I want to make the territory independent?” Chu Mu also got straight to the point.

“This… this is a big deal, affecting hundreds of billions, if not a thousand billion people; I, a mere apprentice, might not be really up to it, I should consult my Teacher Lu… However, Brother Chu, you’re not joking, right? If you want to make a territory independent and fail, it’s akin to charges of splitting a country, an empire; most importantly, the Li Xu lineage is the master of Cloud Realm, you are going to contend with them…” Xu Daofeng said.

Xu Daofeng was just an apprentice; how could he have imagined that just four days before his promotion, he would be taking on such a big case related to national territory, and moreover, these words came from a man not much older than himself!
