Chapter 1326: Chapter 1190: I Want Independent Territory! (Part 1) Chapter 1326: Chapter 1190: I Want Independent Territory! (Part 1) Xu Daofeng found himself in a difficult position, having not anticipated such developments.

Of course, he had never imagined that Chu Mu and his group were the infamous masked gang from Wen City, who had managed to escape from a city governed by hundreds of Dominator-level powerhouses and a Boundary Commander!

Lu Yuqin’s aura slowly dispersed; her Soul Sense was incredibly high, surpassing anyone else present.

Clearly, Lu Yuqin was beginning to exert pressure on them.

“What, thinking of seizing it?” Chu Mu sensed the woman’s eyes growing colder, indicating she was likely about to turn hostile.

“That won’t be necessary, absolutely not, Teacher Lu…”

“Shut up!” Lu Yuqin did not let Xu Daofeng speak.

Xu Daofeng dared not speak further, but he knew that given Lu Yuqin’s character, it was impossible for her to rob someone of their Soul Pet, especially one already bound by a soul contract–otherwise, how would they be any different from the Dark Sect?

“I desperately need this Magic Spirit; the injured individual is one of our elders who was attacked while eliminating members of the Dark Sect. Now his soul is severely wounded, and if he were to leave this world, the villains of the Western Border would become more rampant. This Magic Spirit belongs to you, but I can promise corresponding benefits from the Divine Sect in exchange…” Lu Yuqin said very seriously.

“If your Divine Sect can bring her back to life, we might consider it,” Chu Mu pointed at Princess Jinrou as he spoke.

“The dead cannot be resurrected,” Lu Yuqin stated.

“Then there’s nothing to discuss,” Chu Mu turned and left, unwilling to engage further with the overbearing Lu Yuqin.

Lu Yuqin, of course, was not about to let Chu Mu leave, and coldly said, “We have basically confirmed that you are indeed the masked gang. According to Divine Sect rules, you have disrupted the order of the city, and we are authorized to arrest and detain you.”

Chu Mu stopped in his tracks, looked back at the frosty Lu Yuqin, but instead smiled and said, “Chief Officer Lu, if you want to take it by force, just say so outright. With the backing of your Divine Sect, even if you did forcefully seize it, no one would dare say a word.”

“I am merely acting according to regulations, and I have not taken anything by force, merely wishing to detain you; what is yours remains yours,” Lu Yuqin responded unflinchingly.

While they were speaking, some people had begun approaching, and among them, an elder man walked directly up to Lu Yuqin with a smile, “Chief Officer Lu, I recall that the Divine Sect should not lightly interfere in matters concerning Earth Realms or Earth Territories. Even if we did disrupt the city’s order, shouldn’t this fall under my jurisdiction as the Protector General?”

“Mu… General Mu,” Wan Meng stared in astonishment at the elder general.

Lu Yuqin’s face turned paler as she looked at the elder man, unsure why he had suddenly intervened to favor these individuals.

The Protector General held a status equivalent to a Boundary Commander and everyone in the Cloud Realm knew that General Mu was the foremost expert in the realm, supported by the Mu Family Dynasty that ruled the entire boundary. His position was truly extraordinary, commanding respect even from the ruling Li Xu clan of the Cloud Realm.

“You are Mu Zuoli,” Lu Yuqin inhaled softly, somewhat familiar with the reputation of this Protector General.

The old man nodded and said, “Indeed.”

When the old man confirmed he was Mu Zuoli, Mu Qingyi, who stood nearby, was stunned, her eyes fixating intensely on this middle-aged to elder man, her emotions surging dramatically.

Mu Zuoli was Mu Qingyi’s grandfather!

Mu Zuoli noticed Mu Qingyi’s gaze and a loving smile appeared at the corner of his eyes.

However, this elder man seemed to realize the current problem was rather delicate, putting aside the moment of familial recognition for now, he continued addressing Lu Yuqin, “I will take these people away for further investigation. Regarding whether someone deliberately created chaos in the city or even locked down districts to further their own interests, I will look into it deeply so, Chief Officer Lu, I hope you can give me some time.”

“Mu Zuoli, you must understand the life of the elder…” Lu Yuqin began.

“I apologize, but the spirit girl you see is also my great-granddaughter. All lives are equal, regardless of status. If the elder knew he could survive by sacrificing the soul of a young woman, what do you think he would feel? Moreover, since the Magic Spirit chose to sign a soul contract with her, your Divine Sect should understand that she is the truly most suitable person for this Magic Spirit,” Mu Zuoli remained adamant in protecting, even mentioning his own great-granddaughter.

For a moment, Lu Yuqin was at a loss for words, knowing that what she was doing was somewhat against her own and the Divine Sect’s principles, but considering the elder’s life hanging in the balance, she couldn’t just let him die.

“What’s all this commotion about?” Just as the standoff continued, a voice suddenly interjected.

A middle-aged man approached, clearly having understood the situation from the conversation and other messages, yet deliberately pretending to be unaware.

“This bearded fellow is Li Xu,” Ye Wansheng whispered to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu furrowed his brow, sensing that the situation was becoming increasingly complicated.

Upon seeing Li Xu, General Mu merely curled his lip, his disdain barely concealed.

“General Mu, this is where you are wrong, needing to adhere strictly to protocol. Shouldn’t this matter fall under my management?” Li Xu seemed intent on currying favor, deliberately siding with Lu Yuqin.

Li Xu smiled, his eyes narrowing into slits as he spoke to Chu Mu and his companions, “Alright, even if you were wearing masks and we have no evidence, and you might argue that you obtained the Magic Spirit from another place, I suppose such distinguished individuals from New Moon Land cannot deny this, right? Now, should I be the one fully responsible for this matter?”

This statement caused Chu Mu, Mu Qingyi, Ye Qingzi, Ye Wansheng, Morning Crown Prince, and Bai Yu a sinking feeling in their hearts.

How did Li Xu know they were from New Moon Land?

Only Xu Daofeng and Lu Yuqin were aware that they came from New Moon Land, but Chu Mu did not believe these two would tell Li Xu about it. Moreover, it seemed that Li Xu knew before he even arrived here, as he had been staring and smirking at Chu Mu as he approached.

“Chief Officer Lu, rest assured, these individuals are under my jurisdiction since they are from New Moon Land and had previously committed the crime of slaughtering a manager. I’ve been wanting to nail them for a while now,” Li Xu said with a smile.

After saying that, he turned to Mu Zuoli and continued, “Mu Zuoli, will you still defend them? They are guilty of defying their superiors, and the evidence is conclusive.”

Mu Zuoli was speechless for a moment, and he glanced at Mu Ruanen.

At that moment, Mu Ruanen suddenly remembered she had accidentally mentioned to Wang City Lord Li Ziran that Chu Mu and his companions were from New Moon Land, and it must have been Li Ziran who informed Li Xu…

“Chief Officer Lu, would you be willing to help me apprehend these criminals?” Li Xu cordially invited.

Li Xu was indeed clever; he knew Lu Yuqin was very strict about following rules, especially if Mu Zuoli got involved, making it difficult for Lu Yuqin to act against her principles. Thus, Li Xu specifically found a suitable reason for Lu Yuqin to take them away!

Lu Yuqin hesitated, fully aware that doing so was clearly an abuse of power, which she strongly opposed, and she constantly warned Xu Daofeng against such actions.

However, thinking of the life of the sect master and the importance of a sect master for a quarter of the realm, she felt it necessary to play the villain this time–she would find a way to help that woman reconstruct her ghost spirit soul.

Having made her decision, Lu Yuqin nodded and said, “Very well.”

Chu Mu’s heart sank; Lu Yuqin was now the strongest person here, and if she made a move, he truly had no chance of winning.

The faces of the others also looked grim, aware that without absolute power, the final control still lies in someone else’s hands.

Ghost Jinrou bowed her head, biting her lip softly; she did not want to drag everyone else into this and gently stepped forward, intending to walk towards Lu Yuqin.

At that moment, two hands simultaneously stopped Ghost Jinrou.

The owners of the hands were Chu Mu and Bai Yu.

Because they were very aware that if they severed the soul contract with the Magic Spirit, Princess Jinrou, already lacking a soul, would hardly wake up again–meaning actual death.

Bai Yu could not bear to watch his daughter die; he would rather battle with Lu Yuqin and City Lord Li Xu from Cloud City than allow his daughter to lie again on that cold cold bed, which would be even more painful than killing him directly.

Chu Mu likewise could not allow Jinrou to lose her soul. Having fully witnessed the heart-wrenching and overwhelming joy between Jinrou and her father Bai Yu, Chu Mu had no reason to ignore their plight. If Bai Yu was ready to fight, so was Chu Mu–it was a good opportunity to see just how strong the Divine Sect’s Lu Yuqin truly was!

Bai Yu and Chu Mu both showed their intent to fight, their eyes gradually igniting with silver flames!

Lu Yuqin did not show weakness; once she decided something, she would carry it through. In a moment, the atmosphere became as tense as drawn swords!

“Brother Chu, Brother Chu, don’t act rashly, listen to me first!”

At that moment, the Mental Sound of Xu Daofeng echoed in Chu Mu’s mind.

“Speak,” Chu Mu replied coldly, his vigilance not lowered at all.

“Don’t you want to declare your territory independent? If so, take the opportunity now,” Xu Daofeng said.

“What good will that do?” Chu Mu asked.

“Teacher Lu is a person who strictly adheres to the rules, as you can see. If it weren’t for the sect master’s dire situation, she wouldn’t do this. Even so, the teacher would never forcefully take away the Magic Spirit… The issue now is that Li Xu has given the teacher a valid reason to act against you; if you can erase that excuse, the teacher will have to consider the reputation of the entire Divine Sect, especially since the Dark Sect would definitely make a big issue of it, and General Mu wouldn’t easily let this matter go,” Xu Daofeng explained.

“Are you sure?” Chu Mu was unfamiliar with Lu Yuqin’s character and did not know if this would work.

“Absolutely sure. Teacher Lu is an upright person, you can trust this completely. In short, as long as she can’t find a reason to act against you, you are safe. Otherwise, if she makes a move, even General Mu would be easily defeated,” Xu Daofeng said.

Facing a desperate situation, Chu Mu could only follow what Xu Daofeng suggested and declare territorial independence now!
