Chapter 970: Chapter 836: Haven’t You Undergone Demonization? Chapter 970: Chapter 836: Haven’t You Undergone Demonization? “`
“What powerful figures are there in Spirit City?” Chu Mu asked.
“Yang Que, his strength is second only to Xiong Mo Moling. Yang Que is regarded as the King of Spirit Masters, with almost all notable Spirit Masters as his disciples. His position is unshakeable. We from the Soul Hall have always been on good terms with him, so he shouldn’t easily side with the Soul Alliance.”
“Below Yang Que is the dicine Desolate Zhu Chao. Zhu Chao’s strength varies; it’s hard to peg him down exactly at the mont, but he should have at least three Peak Emperor Pets.”
“Under the dicine Desolate, there is another Peak Emperor-level expert called Zhu Haoting. Ten years ago, Zhu Haoting was very well-known, but after a failed venture through the Forbidden Domain, he was saved by the dicine Desolate Zhu Chao, and since then, he changed his surna to Zhu and beca the right-hand man of the dicine Desolate Zhu Chao, hardly ever leaving his side.”
“Then there are several from the Thirty-Two Traces, including Tang Shang, Liang Yu, Zhang Zhihe…”
The individuals listed by Princess Wan Ning all represent the opposing strength of Soul Alliance mbers. In truth, the number of experts in Spirit City is far greater than these nas suggest.
There are also many famous Spirit Masters in Spirit City with many reaching the High-level Emperor grade; they should be considered Neutral Forces, but these neutrals are not entirely stable and could possibly sway toward one side under the right circumstances.
On the side of the Three Great Palaces, there is only one at the Elder level, and that is the Grand Elder Shen Qiu of Nightmare Demon Palace, with strength on par with Leader of the Eight Desolates – Ju Que.
There are a total of five at the Elder level, and it’s said that in a few days, Teacher De, the Spirit Master, should also be arriving in Spirit City, hence bringing the number of Elder Level mbers to six.
Afterward, the number of Interdiate Emperor Rank individuals should slightly exceed Soul Alliance’s strength, but both sides are currently locked in a standoff within Spirit City, and there is no guarantee that the Soul Alliance isn’t hiding other experts within the city.
Since it is within a neutral city, the clash with the Soul Alliance should be a confrontation between the top levels and based mainly on clandestine battles.
The biggest key lies in whether we can secure Yang Que and Yang Qian before the changing of the city master.
“Are there any outstanding Spirit Masters among the Three Great Palaces that can defeat Yang Qian?” Chu Mu inquired further.
“Outstanding ones, yes, but they still fall short when compared to Yang Qian,” said Wan Ning.
“I have a friend, she is a disciple of Ying Rong in Spirit City; she likely ca for the competition in Spirit Art,” Chu Mu said.
In terms of Spirit Art mastery, Ye Qingzi should indeed be very exceptional. Ye Wansheng’s sudden increase in strength must have much to do with Ye Qingzi’s Spirit Art.
“Is it that Undying Immortal – Ying Rong?” Princess Wan Ning asked with a hint of surprise.
“Yeah,” Chu Mu nodded.
“Ying Rong and Zhu Chao are both disciples of Yang Que. Originally, Ying Rong was the top disciple, and it’s said that the Spirit Art he practiced surpassed even that of Yang Que. If it is a disciple of Ying Rong, then… then she truly has a chance to defeat Yang Qian,” Wan Ning said, radiant with hope.
It seed like Ye Qingzi had beco key to whether the Three Great Palaces could maintain their foothold in Spirit City.
The problem was, Chu Mu could not find her at the mont.
…
After learning about the situation in Spirit City from Princess Wan Ning, Chu Mu returned to his room.
No sooner had Chu Mu opened the door to his room than a little beauty ran up, clutching at his clothes and not letting go, her eyes brimming with tears, pitiful in a way that tugged at one’s heartstrings.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Mu wiped away the tears on her cheeks, asking with concern.
Ning Man’er stayed quiet, just clutching at Chu Mu’s clothes. It seed she was reminded of so sorrowful and unspeakable matters.
“Don’t worry, the person you spoke of will definitely pay the price. But I can’t be certain yet whether he is Yang Que or Zhu Chao,” Chu Mu consoled her.
Before Princess Wan Ning ca to find Chu Mu, Ning Man’er had told Chu Mu that Yang Qian carried the scent of the man who slaughtered her companions, indicating that Yang Qian often interacted with the person Ning Man’er deeply despised.
From what Chu Mu learned from Princess Wan Ning, the ones who often interacted with Yang Qian and possessed the strength of a Peak Emperor could only be Yang Que or Zhu Chao.
Ning Man’er ca from the other side of Dark Sky Sea World. Chu Mu was curious how either Yang Que or Zhu Chao, without having surpassed the emperor grade, managed to reach the other side of Dark Sky Sea World.
Or perhaps, Ning Man’er’s enemy was neither Yang Que nor Zhu Chao, but soone else from outside the Dark Sky Sea World, potentially hiding within the houses of Yang Que or Zhu Chao.
After comforting Ning Man’er for a long ti, her mood gradually cald down.
The little beauty seed tired from crying and fell asleep peacefully on Chu Mu’s thigh.
After more than half a year together, Chu Mu always found Ning Man’er to be quite strong, yet ever since arriving in Spirit City, she seed overshadowed by gloom, often shedding tears alone. This left Chu Mu at a loss for what to do, and uncertain about what she had truly endure.
Drifting alone from the Dark Sky Sea World to a foreign land, seeking the protection of strangers… that mustn’t feel too good either.
Once Ning Man’er had fallen deeply asleep, Chu Mu picked her up, placed her in the bed, tucked her in with a blanket, then sat beside her, closed his eyes, and began to ditate.
…
After an unknown amount of ti, Chu Mu felt Ning Man’er tugging at his clothes, so he opened his eyes, only to find the little beauty hiding under the blankets, staring at him with a pair of watery, beautiful eyes.
“Brother, weren’t you looking for soone?”
“Yeah,” Chu Mu nodded again.
“`
“I… I think I have just learned how to sense qi. If Brother has sothing she carries with her all the ti, I might be able to find her,” Ning Man’er said.
“Sothing she carries…” Chu Mu racked his brain but could not think of any personal item of Ye Qingzi’s that he might have.
Chu Mu shook his head and asked, “Would her Tear Crystal work?”
“Of course, if Brother has her Tear Crystal, and if she is in Spirit City, then I can definitely find her,” Ning Man’er said with a smile.
A look of joy also appeared on Chu Mu’s face; it seed he might get to see Ye Qingzi ahead of ti!
Imdiately, Chu Mu handed the Tear Crystal to Ning Man’er, letting her use the Tear Crystal to find Ye Qingzi.

North City Spirit Master Mansion
Spirit Master mansions typically have facilities for planting, refining furnaces, pharmacies, and spirit rooms – all necessities for a Spirit Master. These kinds of courtyards are frequent in Spirit City. Walking through these residential areas, one can always sll the dicinal fragrance wafting out from the tall doorways and courtyards, and occasionally see vines of Grass-type and Flower-type Soul Pets extending over the walls.
“Brother, it’s here,” Ning Man’er pointed to a mansion behind a tall wall, her beautiful eyes curving into adorable crescents.
Chu Mu walked up to the door and knocked on it.
After a mont, a dicine Child ca to open the door, dressed in a Spiritual Master’s Apprentice’s clothes and taking a good look at Chu Mu with an unfriendly tone asked, “Whom are you looking for?”
“Do a brother and sister with the surna Ye live here?” Chu Mu asked.
The mansion had prohibitions set up, so Chu Mu couldn’t probe it with his Soul Sense; thus, he followed the polite and appropriate route by entering through the main gate.
“No,” the dicine Child replied rudely, slamming the door shut before Chu Mu could ask further!
Chu Mu stood there stunned, then turned to look at Ning Man’er.
“There must be no mistake; she’s definitely inside,” Ning Man’er said, blinking.
In the front hall, the dicine Child who shut the door hurried through to the inner courtyard and began looking for Ye Wansheng.
“Young Master! Young Master!” the dicine Child called out.
“What’s the matter, making such a fuss!” Ye Wansheng had been in a bad mood recently and walked out of his room impatiently, frowning at the imprudent servant.
“Outside… There’s a man and a little girl outside, asking for a brother and sister surnad Ye. Young Master, didn’t you tell to notify you imdiately if anyone ca asking?” the dicine Child said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wansheng’s face changed instantly!
When entering Spirit City, Ye Wansheng and Ye Qingzi had deliberately disguised themselves and also used aliases.
So, there was no way anyone could know their identities, so why would soone know their real surnas?
Ye Qingzi was currently at a crucial point in her refining; if it were interrupted, all her efforts would be wasted. Yet, just at this mont, soone had uncovered their true identities.
“No, if they were sure we were inside, they would have surrounded the place imdiately. It ans they are still unsure whether it is us, and besides, that old thief Zhu Chao should not know that we’re in Spirit City,” Ye Wansheng thought after calming down, and had the dicine Child describe the two visitors again.
The dicine Child’s description of the man was quite ordinary, and Ye Wansheng couldn’t recall who it might be, but the description of the little girl reminded him of the cute girl who was with the young man who had defeated him.
As Ye Wansheng was considering his next move, suddenly, he spotted soone coming towards him!
Ye Wansheng was struck as if by lightning when he saw the person approaching!!
“Young Master, it’s him… how could… how can you just barge into a Spirit Master’s courtyard without permission!!” The dicine Child also suddenly saw that the man and the girl had broken in and stutteringly questioned them!
“Young Master, Young Master!” the dicine Child felt trouble coming, but despite calling out several tis, Ye Wansheng remained indifferent. Turning around, the dicine Child found Ye Wansheng standing still, his face showing shock and disbelief!!
Ye Wansheng was sowhat unable to think, looking at the man before him, speechless!!
“What, don’t tell you don’t recognize after less than four years?” Chu Mu said with a hint of amusent in his eyes, observing Ye Wansheng’s richly expressive face.
“Chu… Chu Mu!!!!” Finally, Ye Wansheng exclaid!!
Upon the first glimpse of Chu Mu, Ye Wansheng felt a ghostly horror, but as soon as he realized that it was truly Chu Mu standing before him, his heart was even more profoundly shaken!!!!
“How is this possible… you… you were supposed to have beco demonized!!” Ye Wansheng looked at Chu Mu, for a long while not daring to believe that the person he was seeing was real.
However, before Chu Mu could respond, Ye Wansheng suddenly slapped his forehead and said, “I get it now! It must have been false information spread by Soul Hall to protect you! It turns out you’re not dead after all!”
