Chapter 1451 - Chapter 1451 Chapter 1312 Ambush at the Silent Fortress City
Chapter 1451: Chapter 1312: Ambush at the Silent Fortress City Chapter 1451: Chapter 1312: Ambush at the Silent Fortress City Divine Sect’s Shangguan Hemo dared not utter another word immediately.
If the other party wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as flipping a hand over, even though the Divine Sect held absolute authority on both continents, that authority couldn’t save his life when faced with such formidable power.
“This is probably a misunderstanding. Everyone has been frightened, so please follow my disciples and rest somewhere new,” the Old Sect Master hastily stepped in to smooth things over.
Naturally, Shangguan Hemo of the Divine Sect didn’t dare stay there any longer and hurriedly followed the Law Protector to rest in the Guest Villa.
“They attacked us in the dead of night, and we’re just going to let them off like that!” Xiaoxiao’s temper flared immediately.
While others may fear the people from the Divine Sect, Xiaoxiao did not, and she could not swallow this indignation!
“Xiaoxiao, let it go. They also lost two Soul Pets,” Pang Yue tried to persuade her.
The incident arose from Ye Wansheng’s poison powder, and neither side could really claim right or wrong; continuing to argue would be meaningless.
After Shangguan Hemo of the Divine Sect had left, he fiercely turned back to glance at Chu Mu and his group as if to memorize their appearances entirely.
The people from the Divine Sect walked far away, and only after returning to their accommodation did Cai Yun, Wan Jun, and the others feel as though they had been pardoned.
The aura of the Black Nightmare Demon was indeed too terrifying; even though it had suppressed its murderous aura, it still gave the impression of the Death God looming overhead.
“Who exactly is this Chu Mu guy? Why have we never heard of him before? He’s so powerful that even the Old Sect Master is no match for his evil soul pet,” Wan Jun said.
By now, Shangguan Hemo had regained his composure from the panic, and his heart was filled with seething anger.
Ye Wansheng’s series of actions towards him had already infuriated him, not to mention that this attempt at disciplining them had cost him a Main Pet!
Soul Pets like Rage of Light were not readily available, and it had taken him a long time to obtain one.
“A person who possesses such a soul pet must be a malefactor bringing disaster to the world!” Shangguan Hemo gritted his teeth.
The Divine Sect used its powers to settle personal vendettas, but its members were flesh and blood too. Someone like Shangguan Hemo, who was quick to anger, often made sure those who offended him suffered. In revenge, he had to pin a crime on them first, so he could deal with the situation with righteousness when the time came to clean up.
Cai Yun and Wan Jun both kept silent at this time, realizing that Shangguan was overwhelmingly consumed by rage.
Punishing criminals was a prerogative of the Divine Sect, but that depended on the adversary’s strength.
The powerfulness of the Black Nightmare Demon was such that perhaps only Chief Officers of the Divine Sect could handle it; these subordinates should forget about taking any action, lest they risk their own lives.
“Upper Office… in my opinion, we should prioritize completing Master Xu’s orders. We can deal with this incident afterward.”
“Yes, this Chu Mu, with such a special Soul Pet, will eventually reveal himself again…”
“If we successfully complete Master Xu’s orders, perhaps Master Xu himself could easily capture that evildoer if he personally took action,” his followers started to calm Shangguan Hemo’s anger.
Shangguan Hemo continued to take deep breaths; the events of these past two days were the biggest humiliation of his life and would indeed be hard to swallow.
However, even if he couldn’t quell his anger, so what? The opponent was powerful enough to crush him easily, and it seemed that the man didn’t even care about the Divine Sect Master, declaring he would kill without hesitation!
…
The Old Sect Master led the five to another Mountain Villa to rest.
Only the Purple Peak Villa was destroyed; the rest of the Demon Beast Palace Mountain was left unscathed.
Along the way, it was obvious that the Old Sect Master was exceedingly polite to Chu Mu, frequently stealing glances at the Nightmare Demon behind him.
Having fought with the Black Nightmare Demon himself, the Old Sect Master knew all too well just how powerful it was.
The Old Sect Master wondered during the journey; this young man called Chu Mu, where did he come from? The person capable of subduing such an Ultimate Evil creature should have already made a big name for himself on the Wupan Continent.
The Old Sect Master thought it over and couldn’t figure out which sect or faction Chu Mu might be from. Asking directly seemed a bit abrupt, so eventually, he simply let them rest well and went to negotiate with the Divine Sect to prevent deeper animosity.
After the Old Sect Master had left, the five people and the Nightmare Demon were all in the Hall; the maids placed the late-night snack beside them and hastened away.
Ye Wansheng and the Morning Crown Prince didn’t speak first. They had caused the incident, which almost cost them their lives, as they could feel that the frenzied Black Nightmare Demon did not differentiate between friend and foe.
“Go cultivate and control your power,” Chu Mu glanced at the White Nightmare Emperor behind him and said.
The White Nightmare Emperor had reverted to the Silver Demon Flame, now capable of controlling its aura at will.
The White Nightmare Emperor floated into a certain room with its head lowered.
“Chu Mu, is it really your Soul Pet?” Xiaoxiao broke the silence, asking.
“It’s my subordinate, not exactly a Soul Pet,” Chu Mu said.
“Subordinate? A wild Soul Pet as a subordinate? Without signing a soul contract, how could it obey you?” Xiaoxiao’s mind was full of questions now, as well as various curiosities about Chu Mu, this mysterious individual.
You have to know, just now Chu Mu’s Black Nightmare Demon put the Old Sect Master of the Monster Beast Palace in a terribly awkward position, Xiaoxiao had never heard of anyone at this age having the strength to reach such a level!
“This is a bit complicated to explain,” Chu Mu said.
“Hmph, if you don’t want to say, then forget it,” Xiaoxiao said discontentedly.
“Chu Mu, what exactly is going on here, how could your bodyguard suddenly…” Pang Yue said, still shaken.
Pang Yue witnessed the instant the White Nightmare Emperor opened its eyes and turned into a Black Nightmare Demon and at that moment, she even felt as if she were already dead.
“It’s going through an unstable period of Race Mutation…” Chu Mu briefly explained White Three’s situation to them, lest these uninformed individuals cause any more trouble.
Chu Mu specifically stressed that White Three transforming into a Black Nightmare Demon would consume its life, meaning each incomplete mutation brought it one step closer to death.
“Thank goodness… it still listens to you, otherwise who knows how many people would have died,” Ye Wansheng let out a breath of relief.
Chu Mu glanced at him sharply.
Ye Wansheng gave a dry laugh, realizing he had indeed gone a bit too far this time, underestimating the strength of those from the Divine Sect and exposing everyone to the shadow of the Black Nightmare Demon.
“Speaking of which, the Divine Sect lost two Rage of Light, I’m guessing they’ve developed a vendetta against us now; we might be in trouble in the future,” Pang Yue spoke up.
“Let it be,” Chu Mu wasn’t someone who shied away from trouble. From the moment Ye Wansheng scattered that poison powder on He Shangguan, Chu Mu had guessed things would likely turn out this way, and not everyone within the Divine Sect members had the upright character of Xu Daofeng and Lu Yuqin.
“Did you gain anything at the Heavenly Boundary Monument?” Pang Yue asked.
“I did,” Chu Mu responded, then turned his gaze toward Xiaoxiao and began to inquire, “Let me describe someone to you, see if you recognize them.”
“I don’t recognize them,” Xiaoxiao replied bluntly, her mouth still pouting.
“…” Chu Mu gave a wry smile. Was this girl really going to be angry with him over keeping some personal privacy?
“The person has a black scarf on their head; I’m not sure if they always wear it. Their cheekbones are quite prominent and the chin bone pointy, their age slightly below middle-aged. Their Soul Pet is an immortal level Poison Fang Beast, covered in poison patterns…” Chu Mu described the male leader who was after Ning Man’er.
Although Xiaoxiao had turned her face away, after hearing Chu Mu’s description, she immediately forgot about being angry with Chu Mu and exclaimed in surprise, “The person you’re describing is Kang Ruodong! My fellow apprentices mentioned he has a very powerful Poison Fang Beast, and many of his subordinates also prefer to use Poison Fang Beasts as their Soul Pets!”
Chu Mu’s heart sank; this Kang Ruodong was the leader of the people Xiaoxiao had been tracking earlier, and he was gathering his subordinates to the Silent Forest Fortress recently. From the memories of Monument Tears, Chu Mu knew this man was the main figure who had previously pursued Ning Man’er!
“He’s gathering his subordinates at the Silent Forest Fortress…” Chu Mu’s concerns deepened.
From the direction of Ning Man’er’s soul contract, it indicated Ning Man’er was in a stage of action. Before, Chu Mu couldn’t fully determine Ning Man’er’s itinerary, but now, he felt she was heading toward the location of the Silent Forest.
At this time, with Kang Ruodong gathering troops at the Silent Forest Fortress, weren’t they just waiting for Ning Man’er to fall into their trap?
For so many years, Kang Ruodong had not intentions of letting Ning Man’er go!
“I’ll depart tomorrow, heading non-stop for the Silent Forest,” Chu Mu said very seriously to the four people.
All four could sense the change in Chu Mu’s expression and hurriedly asked, “What happened?”
“Kang Ruodong might be laying an ambush for Ning Man’er in the Silent Forest; I have to get there before she does,” Chu Mu said.
“Ning Man’er? Who’s that?” Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
“Chu Mu, are you talking about that cute young beauty who kept following you for a while?” Pang Yue said.
“Yeah, her.”
“How could she be involved in this? Kang Ruodong should be looking for the World Tree Seed.”
“The only person who might know the whereabouts of the World Tree Seed in this world could just be her. Her strength comes from the heritage of the World Monarch Tree,” Chu Mu explained.
Pang Yue and Ye Wansheng had both seen the little girl who followed Chu Mu around, but how could she possibly be related to the legend of the World Monarch Tree?
