Chapter 1339 - Chapter 1339 Chapter 1203 Nipping the Hostage Situation in

Chapter 1339: Chapter 1203: Nipping the Hostage Situation in the Bud Chapter 1339: Chapter 1203: Nipping the Hostage Situation in the Bud Li Xu’s expression grew increasingly grim. This demon man had not only defeated his two generals but was now challenging a third Lord of the Realm; this was nothing short of a disdain for the Cloud Realm!

“Humph, such arrogant presumption!” Boundary Commander Wu Zhen snorted coldly.

The opponent was clearly severely injured, yet he still chose to fight. How was this any different from seeking death!

From a distance, Liu Binglan watched Bai Yu, knowing that his tenacity was meant to eliminate another enemy for them. However, his injuries were severe, and continuing the battle could lead to accidents.

“Can Uncle Bai Yu really continue?” the Crown Prince asked with a worried tone.

Chu Mu also felt that Bai Yu was pushing his limits by continuing the fight, but since he had already made his decision, Chu Mu felt that he should trust Bai Yu.

…

Li Ziran maintained his gentle smile, his hand stroking his beard.

He slowly recited a spell, his manner so polite and composed that it seemed less like a life-and-death duel and more like a formal Soul Pet contest.

The Soul Pet summoned by Li Ziran was an Intermediate Dominator, likely on par with the Thunder Leeching Demon Ox of Yongguang.

In Li Ziran’s view, this one Soul Pet was enough to deal with Bai Yu; he did not summon another.

At that moment, Bai Yu also began to chant a spell.

Bai Yu’s sole Soul Pet, the Ice Pupil Kirin, had reached Low-grade Master level during the major battle in Wanxiang City with Alliance Master Ling Chan. Now, this Ice Kirin’s strength had clearly increased, its bone-chilling aura covering the entire Heavenly Mountain Range, touching everyone present while declaring itself as an Ice Element Intermediate Dominator.

Li Ziran was taken aback; he had not expected this demon man to also possess an Intermediate Dominator-level Soul Pet.

Considering Bai Yu’s own formidable combat power, Li Ziran had no choice but to recite another spell, summoning a second Soul Pet.

Li Ziran’s strength was even greater than Yongguang’s, a fact that could be inferred from his position following Yongguang.

According to Mu Ruan En, Wang City was a Level 5 Territory. The city master, Li Ziran, originally a Level 6 Territory Lord, had a fondness for Wang City and had personally requested a transfer to become a Lord of this Level 5 Territory.

The third combatant had to be a Lord of a Level 5 Territory, and Li Ziran, being a Lord of such territory, nonetheless boasted strength surpassing that of the Level 6 Territory Lord Yongguang. Chu Mu estimated that he possessed at least two Intermediate Dominators.

Indeed, the second Soul Pet summoned by Li Ziran was another Intermediate Dominator!

“ROAR!!!!!!!!!”

The Ice Pupil Kirin let out an icy roar, charging through the snow towards Li Ziran’s Soul Pet.

Li Ziran knew Bai Yu was running out of strength and ordered his other Soul Pet to attack Bai Yu.

The Demon Flame controlled by Bai Yu seemed to merge with the ice and snow held by the Ice Pupil Kirin. The Ice Pupil Kirin did not solely attack its opponent but occasionally retreated to Bai Yu’s side, combining ice and snow with the Demon Flame to fend off Li Ziran’s attacks.

The coordination between Bai Yu and the Ice Pupil Kirin was exceptionally tight. Li Ziran had several opportunities to take Bai Yu down but missed them due to their clever mutual protection.

In this battle, Bai Yu’s counterattacks were few. He knew he was seriously injured and that the likelihood of truly defeating Li Ziran was slim. His goal was to wear down Li Ziran’s Soul Pets, which could reduce a lot of pressure on Chu Mu and Liu Binglan.

The duration of this battle far exceeded the previous ones. Li Ziran was not the type for reckless offense, and Bai Yu was consistently defensive, never risking a move without the perfect opportunity.

With the ongoing back and forth, even Li Xu grew impatient, directly ordering Li Ziran to quickly end the battle.

The injured Bai Yu naturally couldn’t keep up indefinitely. When Li Ziran launched a fierce attack, Bai Yu let the Ice Pupil Kirin block the final assault and decisively activated Displacement Demon Shadow, carrying his exhausted body to the Heavenly Mountains.

Seeing the demon man leave so promptly, a hint of anger appeared on Li Ziran’s gentle face, it was clear the man had achieved his goal of wearing him down.

Bai Yu and the Ice Pupil Kirin landed before everyone, Bai Yu’s eerie silver Demon Flame slowly fading, returning him to his human form.

His eyes turned to Chu Mu and Liu Binglan as he spoke, “I leave the rest to you.”

Bai Yu’s words were sincere, and Chu Mu understood his resolve, nodding earnestly.

Ghost Jinrou floated to Bai Yu’s side, looking at her father’s battered, exhausted figure. Bai Jinrou’s eyes grew even more moist; as she instinctively reached out to support him.

However, her hands still passed through Bai Yu’s arms, touching nothing…

Ghost Jinrou grew even more desolate. Her father was battling for her, covered in scars, yet she couldn’t even support him, a helplessness that brought tears to Princess Jinrou’s eyes.

“It’s okay, I just need some rest,” Bai Yu said with a smile, trying to comfort her.

Ye Qingzi had already prepared various potions. She often helped Chu Mu with his injuries and had become quite adept at treating half-demons’ injuries. With her present, Bai Yu would naturally be in no serious danger.

With the support of Ye Qingzi and Morning Crown Prince, Bai Yu rested in a tent behind them. Ye Qingzi first had Bai Yu relax his tense spirit.

“Don’t worry, Chu Mu won’t let Jinrou be taken away,” Qingzi reassured Bai Yu when she noticed his concerns.

Bai Yu was indeed very tired. He believed that he would faint the moment he closed his eyes. But thinking about how this battle concerned his daughter’s soul, he couldn’t relax his spirit.

Left with no choice, Ye Qingzi used some hypnotic techniques to gradually calm Bai Yu’s spiritual world, at least letting his mind rest first, which would help better improve his overall recovery from injuries.

Once Bai Yu fell asleep, Ye Qingzi glanced at Yu Suo, who wore a golden mask, and said, “You should cast a recovery technique on him first.”

Bai Yu was completely exhausted, and although the recovery technique wouldn’t affect his injuries much, it would at least help improve his physical condition, thereby activating his own healing abilities.

Yu Suo recited a spell and applied a recovery technique to Bai Yu, then stood quietly to the side.

Ye Qingzi was experienced in treating injuries, and soon all of Bai Yu’s wounds were healed. What remained was the recovery of Bai Yu’s energy and physical strength.

After completing these tasks, Ye Qingzi looked at the silent Yu Suo and asked, “Why don’t you speak?”

Ye Qingzi often needed Yu Suo, the Good and Evil Queen, to temper many Xuan qualities during refining. Sometimes, Ye Qingzi would have Chu Mu summon Yu Suo to help her. In the past, Yu Suo would say some proud words, which even though unpleasant, she would still speak.

But ever since Chu Mu had advanced to the Soul Master Grade, Yu Suo had ceased speaking a single word.

Yu Suo glanced at Ye Qingzi and, not stubbornly remaining silent, said with indifference, “If I open my mouth, it is mostly to curse him to death. Do you like to hear that?”

Ye Qingzi shook her head. How could she like to listen to such malicious words about cursing her own husband? She just found it strange that previously, Yu Suo would try to use various means to avoid being thrown into the Soul Pet Space.

But now, Chu Mu would often allow her to stay out, making Ye Qingzi feel that her hatred for Chu Mu had deepened.

From Ye Qingzi’s perspective, it seemed that the two did not have an irreconcilable hatred. It wasn’t necessary to escalate the enmity to the extent of a life-and-death feud.

Moreover, according to Ye Qingzi’s understanding, the owners of soul contracts and their Soul Pets should become more spiritually aligned and harmonious. Yet, their mutual hostility seemed beyond reconciliation.

“What do you want to say?” Yu Suo asked, seeing Ye Qingzi hesitant to speak.

“It just seems that it’s not good for you to be like this,” Ye Qingzi said.

“Heh, if he threw you into the Demon Flame Prison and tortured you for years, I believe even your deepest affections would vanish into thin air, let alone mine, a mere demon girl,” Yu Suo said disdainfully. She scorned what Ye Qingzi had said, and even more so the laughable relationship between Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.

With Yu Suo thinking this way, Ye Qingzi found herself at a loss for words.

While the two women spoke, Chu Mu had walked into the tent. He looked at Bai Yu, who now was largely unharmed, and asked, “Is he alright?”

Ye Qingzi shook her head and said, “His injuries are manageable, but his spirit is somewhat… This might cause him to undergo demonization again, so it is necessary for Uncle Bai Yu to control his emotions and spirit.”

Chu Mu nodded. He too had noticed that Bai Yu had already verged on demonization during the battle. If his malice grew too heavy, it was possible that the White Nightmare Demon might take over the dominant soul, causing Bai Yu to turn into a demon once more.

As soon as Chu Mu entered, Yu Suo stopped talking entirely, becoming as cold as ice. Even getting close to her could feel like getting frostbite.

“Is your Guardian also here?” Chu Mu looked at Yu Suo and asked.

Yu Suo was visibly moved, but with the golden mask, she remained cold and proud.

“You seem to have some kind of spiritual connection with him. You are my Soul Pet, so of course, I can sense it. I’ll inform the people from the Divine Sect about their location,” Chu Mu said.

“You… you dare!” Yu Suo glared back in anger.

Chu Mu snorted coldly, speaking with chilling words, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to make Wan Zhong do. If you dare to harbor any ill intentions toward Qingzi, or injure her even a single hair, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth and tear you into ten thousand pieces!”

Chu Mu’s words were bone-chillingly cold, making even Ye Qingzi next to him feel the uncontrollable rage releasing from his heart.

Yu Suo, likewise, did not expect Chu Mu to preemptively perceive her intentions. She staggered back a few steps, her face pale.

“Now go inside and reflect on yourself,” Chu Mu said, his anger unabated.

“Chu Mu, let it go,” Ye Qingzi quickly understood what had happened and shook her head at Chu Mu, trying to quell the fury in his heart.

Ye Qingzi truly hadn’t expected Yu Suo to secretly send someone to lurk around her, aiming to let the people from the Dark Sect take advantage during the great battle between the New Moon Land and the Cloud Realm to abduct her.
