Chapter 1320: Chapter 1184: Yu Suo, Escape Plan Chapter 1320: Chapter 1184: Yu Suo, Escape Plan Mu Qingyi rested in place, she didn’t follow Chu Mu because she believed that Chu Mu could definitely take care of the guy nad Wang Chongshan.
Before long, Chu Mu returned with a vengeful ghost entwined around him, emitting a bit of evil aura.
“Is he dead?” Mu Qingyi asked.
“Yeah, I don’t have the habit of leaving survivors. What’s going on, where did this guy co from?” Chu Mu asked.
“I’m not sure myself, it seems they are from the Dark Sect. They plan to disrupt or even kill the candidates selected by the Divine Sect. There are quite a few of their mbers in this mountain, targeting other individuals,” Mu Qingyi said.
“Let it be, that’s their business, we better stay out of it,” Chu Mu didn’t like to ddle in murky waters and handed the Soul Capture Ring to Mu Qingyi, continuing, “What’s inside should be the Blood Drinking Demon. When I was coming over just now, it happened to bump into , and I grabbed it imdiately and rushed over here to you.”
Mu Qingyi blinked, hardly expecting such good fortune.
Chu Mu escorted Mu Qingyi to a safe spot, before letting her return to Tang officer first.
When Chu Mu broke into Wen Mountain just now, Tang officer had already noticed him. If he were to fly out in front of him again, Tang officer would definitely not consider it a re illusion and might capture him on the spot, which would an Mu Qingyi cheated.
So, Chu Mu planned to exit Wen Mountain from another spot.
The reason why Wen Mountain had only one exit was because taking that path was the safest. Otherwise, no matter which direction one took, it was highly likely to end up in the territories of Wen Mountain’s lords, where one could easily et a no-return fate.
Chu Mu, bold and skilled, decided to traverse those perilous grounds directly.
As he moved through Wen Mountain, Chu Mu found a corpse, one of the ten candidates, confirming what Mu Qingyi had said: quite a few mbers of the Dark Sect were assassinating the examiners here.
“This invisibly adds quite a bit of difficulty to the assessnt,” Chu Mu murmured to himself.
When he parted with Mu Qingyi, she had given him the map. As Chu Mu traveled south for so ti, he found the path was not as easy as he had imagined; leaving Wen Mountain would require so effort after all.
…
“Are you saying there are people from the Dark Sect inside?” Tang officer looked at Mu Qingyi in surprise, his pupils clearly dilating.
“Yes, I encountered one,” Mu Qingyi briefly recounted her encounter with Wang Chongshan.
“The Dark Sect? Did you just say the Dark Sect!” An old onlooker dropped his cane on the ground, his whole body shaking.
The elder had co to accompany his grandson for the assessnt. It was rare for such a talent to erge in their clan, so he had unhesitantly recomnded him to the Divine Sect, hoping he could beco a mber. He did not expect that at this preliminary assessnt there would be people from the Dark Sect involved.
Not many knew of the Dark Sect, but those who did were unequivocally terrified by it. The elder was well aware of the Dark Sect’s frightfulness and even more worried his grandson might have lost his life in Wen Mountain because of them.
“We need to go in!! My nephew is still inside!” Li Kuangsheng imdiately jumped up.
Li Kuangsheng belonged to Li Xu’s lineage, and his nephew was Li ZuoTeng. Li ZuoTeng was the strongest of the younger generation of their Li family. If he were killed by the Dark Sect, it would be a huge loss to Li Xu’s lineage.
anwhile, a lady from the Mu Clan had also beco restless because her son, Mu Zheng was inside Wen Mountain, possibly encountering mbers of the Dark Sect.
“You’d better stay out here. If there are people from the Dark Sect inside, the more of you enter, the more will die. I have already sent soone to notify Chief Officer Lu and the other mbers, and they will be arriving soon,” Tang officer said with a furrowed brow.
Having a clear understanding of the Dark Sect’s strength, Tang officer knew that any one of their mbers were surely at the Dominator Level, consistent with those of their Divine Sect. Although the Dark Sect always hid like a shadow under the scorching sun of the Divine Sect, their strength surely wouldn’t fall too far behind that of Divine Sect mbers once they appeared.
“But… but we can’t just wait around here. You know the people of the Dark Sect are a bunch of murderers who kill without batting an eye,” the woman from the Mu Clan nearly burst into tears. Describing the places where the Dark Sect appeared as barren wasn’t an exaggeration; the degree of atrocity the organization exhibited definitely surpassed anyone’s imagination, such that the recent massacre in Boundary City of Cloud Realm was suspected by so to be the Dark Sect’s doing.
Tang officer remained silent, well aware of the Dark Sect’s modus operandi. Entering Wen Mountain now, would only lead to more deaths, and the current necessity was to gather all Divine Sect mbers to enter Wen Mountain safely together.
…
…
At the tallest peak of Wen Mountain, a man with long hair, dressed very ordinarily, stood there.
Beside this long-haired man was an Empty Listening Demon, its eyes devoid of focus, appearing completely mindless.
“Really… still alive?” The man’s hands trembled gently as he covered his face, seemingly crying tears of joy.
After a long while, the man finally cald his emotions and looked at the Empty Listening Demon.
“Is the one who enslaved her here on Wen Mountain?” The man’s fingers sunk into the trunk of a nearby tree as he spoke with a tone of icy anger.
“Rudderman, we have already dealt with four people. Also, we’ve lost contact with Wang Chongshan; he might have been eliminated in retaliation. Moreover, it seems our actions here have been exposed. Soone has sent word from outside, saying that Lu Yuqin is on her way here,” said the unattractive Li ZuoTeng, half-kneeling behind the sowhat emotionally unstable man.
While keeping his head bowed, Li ZuoTeng surreptitiously watched the Dark Sect Rudderman, inwardly wondering what could have affected the Rudderman to such a degree.
“Gather everyone,” ordered the long-haired Rudderman.
“Are we retreating?” asked Li ZuoTeng.
With Lu Yuqin’s formidable power, if she were to attack, it would be difficult for them to escape, so Li ZuoTeng subconsciously thought that the Rudderman was ordering a retreat.
“No, we have another task to perform right now,” said the Rudderman.
“Another task? Weren’t we only supposed to kill the examinees and then leave imdiately?” Li ZuoTeng asked, puzzled.
“Stop wasting words, do as I tell you!” the Rudderman snapped impatiently.
Li ZuoTeng dared not say any more, imdiately withdrew, and hurried to summon the other Dark Sect mbers.
For the Divine Sect’s examination of ten, the Dark Sect had also dispatched ten assassins. While several had completed their slaughter missions, others had not even found the examinees yet, and now they had all been summoned back with a single signal.
“Forget about the Divine Sect’s examinees now; track down a person for ,” the Rudderman ordered.
Li ZuoTeng was speechless. The Rudderman was asking them to track a person down, but he had given them such orders without knowing what the person even looked like.
At that mont, Li ZuoTeng and several other mbers inquired about the characteristics of the person they were to track, only to be angrily scolded by the Rudderman, “The one who cast aside the examinees and appeared on Wen Mountain, isn’t that the person you should be tracking? Fools!”
The reprimanded mbers did not dare to ask further. The only clue they had was an Empty Listening Demon that appeared out of nowhere, a creature that could sense the location of the person they sought.
…
Chu Mu was completely unaware of being tracked, otherwise he would have left Wen Mountain through the main gate right away, regardless of whether Tang officer discovered him or not.
In fact, Yu Suo, who remained inside Chu Mu’s Soul Pet Space, also breathed a long sigh of relief. If Chu Mu had not gone out of his way to detour for the sake of Mu Qingyi’s successful examination, she would not have seized this chance to run away.
Yu Suo planned to flee. When she was in the Swamp Mountains, she had already controlled an Empty Listening Demon to collect a certain Xuan Object for her.
This certain Xuan Object was actually pollen. By scattering the pollen in the air, as long as Chu Mu inhaled it, the power of the pollen would naturally flow into her soul and then enable her to enhance her power a bit. That slight increase in power might have been enough for her to break the soul contract prohibition and seal, thus escaping Chu Mu’s control.
An unexpected pleasant surprise was that she sensed the presence of the Dark Sect Rudderman – Wan Zhong – in Cloud City.
Yu Suo could only feel his existence but was unable to contact him. So, while helping Ye Qingzi cultivate Spirit Items, she transmitted so information into the Empty Listening Demon’s Spiritual World, asking it to relay ssages for her.
When the Empty Listening Demon delivered the ssage to Wan Zhong, he was in the middle of executing a slaughter mission for the Dark Sect, but Yu Suo believed that once Wan Zhong knew her situation, he would definitely find ways to rescue her.
anwhile, what Chu Mu did not know was that his act of boldness had afforded Yu Suo the perfect opportunity to escape. He was now traversing the final lengthy mountain range of Wen Mountain, and once past it, it would not take long to return to the mountain pass of Wen Mountain.
…
“Why do I keep feeling like soone’s tracking ?” Chu Mu suddenly stopped atop a mountain peak and looked back down the trail.
“Wuu wuu wuu~~~~” Mo Ye nodded vigorously, expressing agreent.
Mo Ye had also noticed that so faint spirit seed to be tracking Chu Mu’s soul, but Chu Mu clearly did not have any tracking marks on him.
“Could it be that Dream of Oblivion is being tracked?” Chu Mu probed into Dream of Oblivion’s soul with his Soul Sense.
After a thorough investigation, Chu Mu found no traces of any spirit on Dream of Oblivion.
At that mont, Yu Suo, who resided within Chu Mu’s First Soul Contract, felt her heart rise to her throat.
She had not expected Chu Mu to be so alert. If he checked each Soul Pet one by one, he would surely find that the tracking mark was actually on her soul. Once the tracking mark was erased, it would beco difficult for Wan Zhong and the Empty Listening Demon to locate Chu Mu.
Now, Yu Suo was extrely nervous and scared that Chu Mu’s Soul Probe would reach her. Because once discovered, her plan to escape would fall through, and the next thing would be Chu Mu, now crazed, inflicting even harsher punishnt on her.
