Chapter 523: Chapter 395: Rage Overwhelming, Chu Mu (Part 1)
Qingzi, with tears in her eyes, felt a cold breath approach her and slowly raised her head, her eyes red and swollen as she looked at the man standing under the dim light, her mind somewhat dazed.
She saw Chu Mu, but she thought it might be an illusion, because when she was most sad, the only person she thought could help her was Chu Mu. She had made up her mind to put away her weak and vulnerable self and go to Soul Hall to find Chu Mu for help, regardless of his requirements.
However, she never expected that the person she needed most was now standing in front of her. His cold face had changed slightly, but his temperament was exactly the same!
“Chu Mu…” Ye Qingzi tentatively called out. Chu Mu’s sudden appearance made her worried that this was just an illusion caused by her blurred consciousness.
Chu Mu nodded, and his pair of cold pupils gradually revealed more complex emotions.
“Swoosh~~~~~Swoosh~~~”
Shang Heng, riding on his Winged Rank Tiger, jumped in front of Chu Mu. He was also a little surprised when he saw Ye Qingzi leaning against the corner and glanced at Chu Mu, realizing they were acquainted.
“Shen Yicheng probably only brought thirty people this time, and another one is Zuo Xiao. This guy is not weaker than Shen Yicheng and is hard to deal with.” Knowing that it was not appropriate to say too much, Shang Heng informed Chu Mu of the battle situation.
As Shang Heng spoke, there was some movement around them. Immediately afterward, a group of Soul Pet Masters in silver armor appeared behind Chu Mu and Shang Heng, each riding on their own Soul Pets.
Neat and orderly, their unified silver armor showcased their might and determination – this was an elite team of warriors!
In the sky, crimson figures swiftly appeared. A row of eight-stage Fierce Falcons flapped their wings, their sharp eyes overlooking the city district. Any enemy would not be able to escape their gaze.
“Falcon Guards, monitor this city area, don’t let anyone slip through!” Chu Mu waved his hand, issuing the order in a cold tone.
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
“…”
Twenty Fierce Falcons flapped their wings vigorously, scattering in a well-trained manner. They drew twenty beautiful red trajectories in the night sky, quickly dominating the entire sky above West Street District.
“Zhao Cheng, command the Bright Guards to eliminate all external forces!” Chu Mu waved his hand again, issuing another order.
Zhao Cheng had just arrived with his own Soul Pet and, when given the order, a smile appeared on his face. He immediately led the twenty silver-armored Bright Guards into the chaotic battlefield!
With everyone else in action, Shang Heng had been standing behind Chu Mu all this time. He looked at Chu Mu’s back, his heart secretly astonished. This man seemed to have never even questioned if they were allowed to kill people, instead directly ordering the killings. This could completely put Shen Yicheng in mortal danger! No one in Soul Hall besides the Eighth Young Master would dare to do such a thing, let alone bear such consequences!
…
Chu Mu’s judgment at this time was very accurate. Shen Yicheng had only brought thirty people, but by the time they arrived, fifty Soul Hall guards had already surrounded the West Street. Unless Shen Yicheng could get reinforcements within twenty minutes, all of his men would be wiped out!
Shang Heng knew that to deal with Shen Yicheng, he needed to deal with his subordinates first. So the next fight would be between the guards and Shen Yicheng’s men. This would take some time, but Shang Heng believed that their defenses would all be broken within ten minutes!
Shang Heng deliberately glanced at Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi and realized that it was not appropriate for him to stand here right now. He said to Chu Mu, “I will be nearby. If there’s any situation, I’ll inform you immediately.”
Chu Mu nodded and let Shang Heng go to control the situation.
…
As Chu Mu issued orders to his men, Ye Qingzi had been staring at him all along. From Chu Mu’s eyes and expression, she could feel the anger and barely-concealed killing intent in this man’s heart.
Ye Qingzi knew this was not an illusion caused by her blurred mind. Chu Mu was really standing here, and he brought a group of elite Soul Hall guards with him!
Watching Chu Mu slowly walk towards her, Ye Qingzi couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. The most needed person appeared at the most needed time. At this moment, she didn’t know what words to use to express her feelings, so she could only cry with her face covered…
This was the first time Chu Mu had seen the self-sufficient Ye Qingzi reveal such unprecedented helplessness. He didn’t know how to comfort her, so he just slowly squatted down and sat beside her, silently watching her.
“What happened?” It would take some time to take care of Shen Yicheng’s men, and Chu Mu wanted to know more about Ye Qingzi during this time.
“Brother is in their hands…” Ye Qingzi said with a choked voice.
Chu Mu’s expression shifted slightly, but he still gently patted Ye Qingzi’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, once I deal with their subordinates, I will rescue him. Soul Hall’s people are everywhere nearby, they won’t be able to escape!”
“Mm.” Ye Qingzi nodded heavily, her tears still flowing. It was the first time in so many years that she had cried like this.
Ye Qingzi wiped her tears with the back of her hand, slowly regaining her composure after taking a few deep breaths. She glanced at Chu Mu, and noticing that her face was close to his, quickly lowered her head.
“My brother and I had one teacher when we were young, who people called the Undying Immortal – Yinglong. He is the one who taught me my Spirit Arts. In the past, my brother and I didn’t know anything, he always worked hard to become a powerful Soul Pet Master, while I followed our teacher’s footsteps, learning Spirit Arts while becoming a Soul Pet Master. Most of my Soul Pets also developed in this direction…”
When it came to the truly sad moments, Ye Qingzi couldn’t help but start telling her own story.
Chu Mu also wanted to know her story, so he sat quietly next to her and listened.
“Our teacher was very strict with me, but very lenient with my brother. I used to think it was unfair, why did I have to learn two skills while my brother could do whatever he wanted? In the past, my relationship with my brother was very poor. We would hardly say a word to each other when we saw each other. I thought he despised me, my indifferent attitude towards everyone, and I despised his smugness…”
“Later, I was scolded by our teacher and ran out, going to the wild and wanting to leave them because I thought they all despised me. In the end, I got lost and was attacked by a Soul Pet, eventually losing consciousness due to excessive blood loss.”
“When I woke up, I was back in my original room. I thought I was dreaming, but the wounds on my body made me realize that I did run away and was attacked by a Soul Pet.”
“I didn’t know what happened. After recovering from the injuries, the teacher still treated me as sternly as before, wanting me to learn as much as possible, while my brother still went wherever he wanted, learning whatever he wanted, and we still couldn’t say half a word to each other without getting angry.”
“Finally, one day, I couldn’t take the unfair treatment anymore, and I argued with my brother, which eventually escalated into a Soul Pet duel. He said he could defeat me with just one Soul Pet, and I couldn’t stand his smugness. He really did summon only one Soul Pet, while I summoned three, easily defeating him and leaving him covered in wounds…”
“When the teacher returned, he was furiously and drove me out, telling me never to come back. I thought the teacher was biased towards him, and I didn’t want to stay here either, so I left…”
“I wandered alone for a while, still holding grudges against them, until I met a Spirit Master friend of our teacher, who took me in and asked me what had happened.”
“At that time, the teacher’s friend said to me, ‘A year ago, your teacher sent Ye Wansheng to me for help in repairing his soul. He had suffered damage to both of his spirits, his soul had become extremely weak, and it took me two months to nurse him back to health. He saved you, and even now he still hasn’t fully recovered, how could you hurt him like this?’”
“I was puzzled at that time, not knowing when my brother had damaged his spirit and when he had saved me. But when I thought about it carefully, I was stunned because I remembered the time when I ran into the wild and was attacked by a Soul Pet…”
As Ye Qingzi reached this point in her story, her eyes were once again filled with tears, burying her head into her knees as she cried.
Chu Mu felt a slight tug at his heartstrings. By this point, he understood what happened: when Ye Qingzi ran into the wild, it was Ye Wansheng who had lost both of his spirits that saved her and brought her back!
During their duel, he only summoned one Soul Pet because his soul had not fully recovered yet.
No matter how much the two disliked each other or argued constantly, Ye Wansheng, as the older brother, still treated her as his own flesh and blood during critical moments. Even after making such a sacrifice, he managed to put on an act as if nothing had happened and continued to bicker with his younger sister as usual…
“Chu… Chu Mu… You must help me, help me save my brother… He has already suffered three spirit injuries on his path of growth and cannot be hindered any longer.” By this point, Ye Qingzi’s emotions were somewhat out of control, her voice breaking from the strain. Anyone who had experienced something like this would be unable to keep their emotions in check.
“He has always been working hard to become a Soul Pet Master. When we were young, it wasn’t that the teacher was indulgent with him, or that he could do whatever he wanted; he had his own goals, aiming to reach the supreme World Throne. His hard work even made our teacher feel pity for him; he wore a smile despite all his wounds, and he never showed any childish complaints or dissatisfaction…”
It was this reason that Ye Qingzi had lost the courage to run away. If it weren’t for Chu Mu’s appearance, she would have returned, and even if it meant becoming the enemy’s Spirit Master slave for life, she wouldn’t let her brother make any more sacrifices for her.
“We have been wandering all this time because of Shen Yicheng and the person behind him. Now my brother is in their hands again… Chu Mu, I don’t know what to do…” By this point, Ye Qingzi’s voice had dissolved into sobs, her tear-streaked face heartbreakingly pitiful.
Seeing Ye Qingzi turn into a helpless tearful figure, Chu Mu’s eyes filled with affection for her. He gently stroked her hair…
Once again, it was these domineering forces that have brewed such a tragedy!
At this moment, a flame was ignited in Chu Mu’s chest, only to be extinguished when Shen Yicheng and the others were turned to ashes!
“Rest assured, I will save Ye Wansheng for you, and I will make Shen Yicheng pay the price in blood!” Chu Mu slowly stood up, his black pupils shifting from gentle to cold and murderous!
