Chapter 1325: Chapter 1189: Lu Yuqin’s Arrogant Deanor Chapter 1325: Chapter 1189: Lu Yuqin’s Arrogant Deanor The Dark Sect’s purpose in coming to Cloud Realm was simple: to prevent Lu Yuqin from obtaining a Demon Spirit.
The man they had gone to great lengths to soul sever, leaving him shattered and on the brink of death—if Lu Yuqin were to find a Demon Spirit, then the Dark Sect’s sacrifices to achieve this result would be for naught.
Therefore, the Demon Spirit absolutely could not end up in Lu Yuqin’s possession.
…
At his seat, Chu Mu had already decided that if the price exceeded 2500 Xuan, he would just take note of the buyer and then find a way to acquire it from them later, whether through diplomacy or force depending on the buyer’s attitude.
Before long, the auction began.
It was hosted by the sa beautiful woman from Wen City last ti, who seed even more radiant this ti, infecting those sitting in the VIP gallery with power and wealth through her seductive and enticing voice.
Chu Mu was actually very interested in things like Xuan Objects, but the issue at hand was to first resolve the Ho Seeker’s problem, given the task’s considerable reward.
This auction featured three Emperor-level Demon Spirits, which surprised Chu Mu. It seed there were others who had caught Demon Spirits, or perhaps there were private owners who had not brought them out for auction in Wen City and only revealed them here in Cloud Realm.
Chu Mu didn’t know what ans Wan ng had used to convince so many to auction their Demon Spirits here.
Rescuing all the Demon Spirits was not very realistic—the Dominator Demon Spirit also indicated that they only needed to ensure the Ho Seeker safely returned to their clan.
The auction started, and a large number of Demon Spirits were sold at different prices—there were plenty of wealthy and powerful bidders.
In the middle of the event, an Emperor-level Demon Spirit finally appeared.
This Demon Spirit had average talent in all aspects, but the final price was driven up to 2300 Xuan, which made Chu Mu feel a bit mystified.
Then ca another round of bidding for an Emperor-level Demon Spirit, which had very high talent and potential, reaching a price of an astonishing 3000 Xuan. Moreover, Li Xu’s lineage and people from General Mu Mansion were still raising the price against each other, determined to win it at all costs!
This gave Chu Mu a headache. The two major clans in Cloud City were clearly here for the Emperor Demon Spirits. Even though the Demon Spirit with full talent and potential wasn’t the Ho Seeker, once the Ho Seeker did appear, its price was sure to skyrocket.
If the Ho Seeker ended up in General Mu Mansion, there might still be room for negotiation. Mu Ruan En was in General Mu Mansion, and Chu Mu and Bai Yu had ample ti to gather more Xuan to buy it back.
However, if it fell into the hands of Li Xu, his future enemy, that would likely cause a great deal of trouble.
Finally, the Ho Seeker that everyone had been awaiting made its appearance. By human standards, this Ho Seeker’s talent was only considered decent.
However, Chu Mu didn’t beco optimistic over this, because during the competition for the highly talented Emperor Demon Spirit just now, Li Xu’s lineage hadn’t managed to outbid General Mu Mansion, so they might well be determined to win this one.
“Please place your bids!” the beautiful hostess invited with a charming and inviting smile.
The price started at 1000 Xuan and slowly climbed higher, with Chu Mu continuously bidding as well.
However, this auction had a peculiar developnt—Chu Mu noticed that there were very few people bidding, much fewer than before.
Even more, as the bidding went on, Chu Mu realized that it seed to be just him and one woman competing.
Gradually, people around them began giving Chu Mu strange looks, and he could faintly hear them muttering phrases like “courting death” and “doesn’t know better.”
“Chu Mu, it’s Lu Yuqin who’s competing with you,” Ye Qingzi whispered to Chu Mu after glancing upwards.
Only then did Chu Mu catch on.
No wonder no one dared to compete. Once Lu Yuqin made a bid, it ant she wanted it, and it was unlikely that anyone would dare to vie for sothing wanted by a Divine Sect Chief Officer.
“Teacher, let Chu Mu have it,” Xu Daofeng said to Lu Yuqin.
Lu Yuqin nodded and said, “I intended to give this Demon Spirit to you as a reward for passing the assessnt. Since you say to let him have it…”
“Uh…” Xu Daofeng was montarily speechless.
After hesitating for a while, Xu Daofeng finally sighed and said, “Just give it to him then. He’s been raising the price; he must really want it.”
Lu Yuqin didn’t say anything else and stopped bidding.
At the price of 2300 Xuan, which was precisely the price at the Wen City auction, Chu Mu was very willing to accept.
Many people, especially those from Li Xu’s lineage, seed eager to bid higher.
However, as everyone waited for Lu Yuqin to raise the price, the hostess called out several tis, and amid everyone’s hesitation, she declared the Demon Spirit belonged to Chu Mu.
To everyone’s surprise, Chu Mu had smoothly bought the Emperor Demon Spirit, and even he found it very strange.
After the auction ended, when the Ho Seeker was placed into an exquisite Space Ring and presented to Chu Mu, he beca even more certain that the Ho Seeker was now his.
“Little Princess, co out and see—is this the Ho Seeker?” Chu Mu asked the Ghost Princess attached to his ring.
At this ti, everyone in the lounge didn’t have to worry about being seen with the Ghost Princess.
Ghost Jinrou slowly drifted out, and her alluring silhouette was incredibly tempting.
She landed next to the Ho Seeker, which clearly sensed the presence of an Emperor-level Demon Spirit, and let out an excited cry.
“It’s the one, let’s hurry and return it to the Demon Spirit Land,” said Princess Jinrou with a beautiful smile floating across her face.
But in the next mont, Princess Jinrou’s smile abruptly stiffened, as she looked at the Ho Seeker, her eyes seemingly piercing into the depths of its soul.
“What’s wrong?” Uncle Bai Yu asked with concern.
“There are… soul imprints!” the Ghost Princess said.
No sooner had Bai Jinrou finished speaking than the Ho Seeker was suddenly enveloped in an orange glow. The light swiftly twined around Princess Jinrou, as if dousing her with water, emitting a strange sll that also left indelible marks on her body.
“This… this is…” Bai Yu was stunned.
While everyone suspected Wan ng might be using the Ho Seeker to lure out the Dominator Demon Spirit again, nobody expected him to use such a deceitful tactic!
“Don’t tell we have to escape the city with the princess again, this is Cloud City!” Ye Wansheng was also dumbfounded.
It was now apparent to all that this kind of spirit imprint had definitely tracked the princess, and Wan ng must have known that a Dominator-level Demon Spirit was present at the auction.
“Qingzi, do you have a way to remove this mark?” Chu Mu asked.
“I can cover up the sll, but these glows on her body might not be removable in a short ti,” said Ye Qingzi as she took out so pollen she had prepared and sprinkled it on Princess Jinrou.
“Little Princess, co inside the ring for now,” Chu Mu said.
“Alright,” Princess Jinrou’s body turned into a wisp of mist and floated into Chu Mu’s jade ring.
Not long after Princess Jinrou drifted into Chu Mu’s ring, Chu Mu heard noises from outside the lounge room.
They didn’t dare stay any longer and imdiately left the lounge, passing through the hall, intending to leave the auction house right away.
Unfortunately, just as they reached the hall, a group of people, including Lu Yuqin, Xu Daofeng, and Mu Qingyi, surrounded them.
Mu Qingyi had wanted to find a chance to notify them earlier, but Lu Yuqin had not given her the opportunity. Now, she anxiously looked at them and quickly moved to their side.
“What is it?” Chu Mu asked calmly, glancing at Lu Yuqin.
“The Demon Spirit you’ve purchased is a Ho Seeker,” said Wan ng, his face quivering.
“What Ho Seeker? Even if it is one, so what? Do you want to take it back?” Chu Mu’s response showed no guilt.
“Brother Chu, the thing is, the Ho Seeker is an important mber of the Demon Spirit Clan, and the clan leader’s Demon Spirit must take it back. Wan ng marked every Demon Spirit sold at the auction, in order to lure that…” Xu Daofeng was trying to explain the situation to Chu Mu.
At that mont, Lu Yuqin said indifferently, “Shut up.”
Lu Yuqin was smart. Since the Dominator Demon Spirit appeared at the auction house, that ant soone had brought a Dominator Demon Spirit into the sales venue, and the recently high-profile Masked group and the half-demon must be these few people in front of her!
“I need that Demon Spirit to save soone; I hope you can give it to ,” Lu Yuqin said, fixing her gaze on Chu Mu.
“It has already signed a soul contract,” Chu Mu said directly, no longer pretending.
“Signed a soul contract with you? Impossible!” Lu Yuqin said with conviction.
At that mont, Chu Mu’s jade ring emitted a soft glow, and Ghost Princess Jinrou slowly drifted out from the ring, her eyes as if they could see through everyone around her.
Seeing the Ghost Princess, everyone expressed shock. First, they marveled at her extraordinary beauty, and second, they were astounded to see a complete human ghost!
The ghostly form of the Little Princess was also a spirit. She could even use so of the Demon Spirit’s powers. When Lu Yuqin saw Ghost Jinrou, she imdiately frowned, as she could tell that this Emperor-level Demon Spirit truly had signed a soul contract, or else the human-like ghost form wouldn’t have been possible.
“The Dominator Demon Spirit voluntarily signed the soul contract to allow her soul to awaken. Are you trying to save soone, whereas we would be harming soone?” Chu Mu remained uncompromising.
To heal a soul, the Dominator Demon Spirit must sign a soul contract, as the Demon Spirits themselves possess no soul healing abilities. They heal human souls through their own essence.
“The person I need to save is very important,” Lu Yuqin stated, her voice deeper.
“She’s my daughter,” Bai Yu added coldly.
After putting in so much effort to awaken Princess Jinrou’s soul, even though she couldn’t yet rge with her own body, Bai Yu was already greatly comforted by seeing her float around him every day, chatting and laughing happily.
How could Bai Yu allow Bai Jinrou to return to being a cold, lifeless corpse?
