The Charm of Soul Pets

On the second night, Chu Mu snuck into Divine Sect’s back mountain.

Divine Sect’s Divine Mountain and back mountain were heavily guarded. However, with Xu Daofeng leading the way, there weren’t any problems.

“That’s strange, why are there so many guards?” Xu Daofeng questioned.

After passing through a mountain range lingering with fog, a huge group of Divine Sect members suddenly appeared between the mountain pass and the sky. These people were wearing the same clothes and orderly standing there.

“What’s going on?” asked Chu Mu.

“I don’t know either. Normally there aren’t any guards in this area. However, it’s very strict for some reason today.” said Xu Daofeng.

“Are there other paths?” asked Princess Jinrou.

“Yes, but that place is the sect master’s forbidden ground. Disciples are not permitted to enter.” said Xu Daofeng.

“Are there guards there?” asked Chu Mu.

There were Divine Sect members guarding the valley and the sky. Their path was firmly sealed off. It was practically impossible to enter the back mountain’s Imprint Valley entrance their original way.

“There aren’t… however, with the sect master’s strength, he’ll probably even be able to detect a small mouse passing through his territory.” said Xu Daofeng.

“Let’s give it a try. Just tell me which way it is.” Chu Mu had confidence in his dark hiding abilities.

“That should work. You are, after all, an honored guest of our Divine Sect. Even if the vice sect master discovers you, you can just say that you were unfamiliar with this place and went the wrong way. He probably won’t be able to say anything.” said Xu Daofeng.

Xu Daofeng brought Chu Mu and Bai Jinrou to the sect master’s cultivation mountain. There were people also guarding that place, but it wasn’t as much as the entrance to Imprint Valley.

Princess Jinrou could fully hide her aura, so she scouted the way for Chu Mu. Chu Mu melded his body into the darkness and slowly passed through the cultivation mountain.

The mountain forest was pitch black. Only a few dark purple lamps illuminated the stairs up the mountain path.

On either side of the mountain path were sloped trees. As the wind blew against the trees, it was possible to faintly hear the sound of people talking in the forest.

“Jinrou, wait.” Chu Mu used a mental voice to tell Princess Jinrou to stop.

“What’s the matter?” Princess Jinrou looked at the people who were talking that Chu Mu was looking at in the forest.

“A Monument Tear Individual.” Chu Mu lowered his voice as he spoke.

The Monumen Tear had let out another warm light, meaning that a Monument Tear Individual was nearby!

Chu Mu surveyed his surroundings. He could only hear people talking in the trees, meaning that among these people talking was a Monument Tear Individual!!

This was the second time Chu Mu encountered a Monument Tear Individual. Moreover, the Monument Tear Individual clearly was a Divine Sect Member!

Perhaps the mission for all Monument Tear Individuals was the same. When Chu Mu sensed the Monument Tear Individual's presence, he suddenly wondered if they had also come to save the Light King and to find the secret behind the shackles carried by the Seven Sins Foxes?

“People from Divine Sect also infiltrated the place? Wasn’t the entrance heavily guarded by you guys?” the deep voice of a man rang out.

“My friend, there isn’t just one spatial entrance to an independent space. I think they found an expert proficient with other type creatures.” said another somewhat elderly voice.

“Really… issues always keep arising.” the deep voiced man grumbled.

“Haha, I heard my subordinates say that you went to kill someone not long ago, but that person managed to flee?” laughed the elderly voice.

The man seemed to be slightly annoyed by these words. His voice changed as he said: “Hmph, even if he got lucky, you should know that I don’t really care about people like that. There will always be people in this world with abilities like a rat that can sometimes even escape a lion…”

“Northern Territory Demon Person is indeed a disaster. It would be best to get rid of him.’ said the old man.

Their conversation was heard by both Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou.

Perhaps these too people were overly confident, but they didn’t use a mental voice to communicate, nor did they use their perception to scour the surroundings to determine any irregular occurrence. In short, they were unable to discover Chu Mu and Jinrou.

“Chu Mu, who is Northern Territory Demon Person?” asked Princess Jinrou, confused.

“The leader behind Northern Territory’s incident.” Chu Mu gave a rough explanation of Northern Territory’s incident to Princess Jinrou.

“Oh? He killed that many people. Then is he very strong?” said Princess Jinrou.

Chu Mu nodded his head.

From the description of the incident, the slaughterer’s strength was probably extremely strong even among the immortal rank. He was able to slaughter that many immortal rank experts and even a territory’s soul pet dynasty until not a single remained.

However, what shocked Chu Mu even more was this deep voiced man.

“Who is that person talking? Why does he not even attach much importance to Northern Territory’s slaughtering devil?” asked Princess Jinrou.

From the conversation between these two men, it was possible to discern that the deep voiced man had probably fought the Northern Territory’s slaughtering devil and the latter had escaped. According to Chu Mu’s understanding, the only people who had this strength were leader rank people, since Northern Territory’s slaughtering devil was at least a Gate Master rank person.

“I’m not sure either. He probably is some leader. If he’s able to speak frankly with a Divine Sect Sect Master, his status definitely isn’t low.” said Chu Mu.

Chu Mu really wanted to know who he was, because he clearly had a Monument Tear on him!

“Are the subordinates you brought reliable? Don’t accidentally perish with that world.” said the old man.

“They are all the most outstanding ocean lords of my Wupan Navy. I believe in their strength!” said the deep voiced man.

“You pay attention to the matters of the sea, but you also do the same for matters on land. In the recent few years, the influence of you, the Great Chieftain, has been everywhere. Isn’t it better to be more low key so that you won’t be given a warning by Hidden Pupil Royalty?”

When he heard this, Chu Mu’s heart skipped a beat!

The person talking surprisingly was Wupan Navy’s highest Chieftain!!

When Chu Mu had entered Demonic Burial Mound, he had gotten to know Wupan Navy’s Xu Kuan. He was a high ranking navy officer worth respecting.

The navy division Xu Kuan was in charge of was Ninth Division’s 3rd Ship Legion. This meant that there were even more powerful navy officers above Xu Kuan.

Atop the navy chief was the commander of the Ninth Division, and above the commander was the chieftain!

Without a doubt, Wupan Navy’s Chieftain was within humanity’s top ten leader ranks. Chu Mu never expected the one talking in the forest was Wupan Navy’s chieftain. He was a genuine supreme human expert!

“So it was him that participated in Quiet Forest’s plundering…” Chu Mu’s heart was in turmoil.

One person was Wupan Navy’s Chieftain, while the other probably was a vice sect leader of Divine Sect. They were both magnate rank people that ostensibly transcended the power of the secular world. They had participated in Quiet Forest’s evil, but who could punish them? They were the people that formulated humanity’s decrees!

Chu Mu’s breathing became rushed.

If these two magnate rank people discovered that he was eavesdropping, they probably wouldn’t leave him alive, right?

“Besides Quiet Forest’s matter where I personally appeared, I stood in the back for the other matters. Unless they pursue Quiet Forest’s incident, even if Hidden Pupil Royalty ask me to meet them in warning, I won’t necessarily have to give them face.” said the man called the Great Chieftain.

“Once the solar eclipse arrives, the heaven and earth will change color. Who doesn’t want to give themselves a way out? Ai, Quiet Forest’s incident was a pity. We exposed too much and we failed to obtain any genuine benefit. Right now, there are many things we can’t do in the open…” said the old man.

“Don’t worry, it will be fine in a little bit. Those people can’t just keep their hold on us forever. Speaking of which, the Xu Family brother I sent was killed. Did you get to the bottom of this yet? Who did it and who took away that girl?” asked the old man.

“Hmph, didn’t my people die as well? They were probably killed by the Messiah Tree and the protectors of the girl. The information my people sent back was that it was a devil person. My subordinates are spread out through every corner of the world. It won’t be long before we uncover this devil person!” said the chieftain.

“Go slowly about this matter. We’re currently being watched very closely, and before we’re 100 percent sure, we can’t make any rash actions. You coming to our Zhengming Main City this time truthfully isn’t something good.” said the vice sect leader.

“You set up such a huge plot and are about to close the net. Why would I not come and watch?” said Great Chieftain.

Their laughter rang out and grew further and further away. They were probably walking in another direction.

……

“Chu Mu, why do I feel like they’re two old crafty foxes discussing a huge plot?” said Princess Jinrou.

“Yes, but what plot did that vice Sect Master set up? Does it have to do with Imprint Valley?” pondered Chu Mu.

From the conversation just now, after him, Xia Yin, and Lin Mengling left Imprint Valley, another group of people entered Imprint Valley. But what did these people enter to do?

“Are we still going to go in?” asked Princess Jinrou.

Chu Mu wouldn’t give up halfway. However, Chu Mu wondered if there was something Lin Mengling didn’t tell him.

Imprint Valley clearly hadn’t been fully closed off. Moreover, there was a group of unknown identity people continuously entering the valley. It was as if there was some treasure that would appear when Imprint Valley collapsed.

“Let’s go and take a look.” Chu Mu had to get to the bottom of this.

Of course, Chu Mu silently remembered these two people.

Since they were the human leaders that had participated in Quiet Forest’s evil and the immortal rank experts he had killed under the Messiah Tree were dispatched by them, they were enemies that he would have to face!

“Chu Mu, do you think we’ve accidentally stepped into some huge plot?” carefully asked Princess Jinrou.

”Chu Mu saw Princess Jinrou’s vigilant appearance and let out a relaxed smile as he said: “The only huge plot I accidentally stepped into was the one in Immortal City…”

“I don’t want to talk to you.” Princess Jinrou floated in front of him, leaving her beautiful and sexy figure from the back in front of Chu Mu.
