Chapter 293: Chapter 171: Zhanli Realm, Elemental Gate

Translator: 549690339

The guards’ station gathered many Soul Pet Masters. Around it, various Soul Pets of the Winged System, Beast type, and Elemental World guarded the area, preventing Sky Demons from approaching.

This city station had high fortresses. Inside, it formed a small city where powerful soul pet masters walked around. They had the strength to fight against Sky Demons and the ability to move around freely in a city where Sky Demons could appear at any time.

Below the station was a broader area specially designed to accommodate homeless people. Most of those seeking refuge there were of low power or ordinary residents.

There were medicines in the station, and specialized Spirit Masters would heal injured people and soul pets. The poisoned teenager needed recuperation, so Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi brought him to the station’s shelter and let him rest there.

Affected by the unexplained disappearance of Ye Wansheng, Ye Qingzi’s mood had become quite low. That soul pet was not Ye Wansheng’s main pet but had the potential to develop into one. It was unlikely that Ye Wansheng would abandon it under normal circumstances. The more plausible explanation was that Ye Wansheng had encountered some danger and been forced to separate from his summoned soul pet.

It would probably take three or four days for the youngster to recover. Ye Qingzi stayed at the station to take care of him while Chu Mu left the station and went to the nearby city districts by himself to collect the blood of Sky Demons.

There were still 200 more vials of Sky Demon blood needed for Zhan Ye’s combat power to be greatly improved, which also greatly motivated Chu Mu.

During ordinary battles, Chu Mu mainly summoned the Ice -Feathered Spirit, the Demon Tree Warrior, and Zhan Ye. Only when facing stronger enemies would Chu Mu summon Night, MO Ye, and White Demon.

Chu Mu rested at the station for one night and began exterminating Sky Demons the next day and the day after…

“Captain Zhang Qian, it’s time to clean up the Sky Demons in the Tianjing District. Many residents are trapped there.” The moment the station master saw Zhang Qian and his guard squad approaching, he immediately had this squad summoned.

Zhang Qian’s guard squad had eliminated an extremely troublesome Sky Demon nest a few days ago, rescuing thousands of residents. They were praised by the district officer and gained fame among the stations.

“No problem. My brothers have already adjusted themselves. Tomorrow morning, we will lead the team there and make sure not a single Sky Demon is left.” Zhang Qian, sensing the station master’s concern, gave a guarantee with confidence.

“Lord Luo, the Sky Demons in the Tianjing District have already been eliminated.” At this time, the deputy officer quietly reminded the station master.

“Cleared? Which squad did it? I don’t remember sending anyone there.” Lord Luo showed a surprised expression.

“I heard from our subordinates that a hunter cleared the area and has been staying there for two days and nights. It seems he’s collecting Sky Demon blood.” The deputy officer said.

“Collecting blood?” Zhang Qian was puzzled. The value of Sky Demon blood wasn’t very high unless it was used for special purposes. He remembered Chu Mu was collecting Sky Demon blood.

As they were talking, the deputy officer suddenly looked at the station’s gate and pointed to a young man riding a Night Thunder Dream Beast with an expression of surprise. He said, “It’s him! I saw him going into Tianjing District when we passed by last time.”

Zhang Qian immediately looked over and saw Chu Mu running towards them through the gate. He greeted Chu Mu with a smile, “Brother Chu Mu.”

Chu Mu turned his head to look and saw Zhang Qian directing the Night Thunder Dream Beast to walk towards him.

“Captain Zhang.” Chu Mu also greeted him casually.

“Haha, we were just talking about the Sky Demons in Tianjing District. This deputy officer said there was a hunter collecting Sky Demon blood there and that almost all of the Sky Demons were cleaned up. The first person I thought of was you, and sure enough… Brother Chu Mu, you are truly amazing! Not many Soul Pet Masters can withstand fighting for two days and nights straight.” Zhang Qian said with a smile.

“Well, my soul pets needed the training…” Chu Mu replied.

“Chu Mu? Captain Zhang Qian, is this the famous Prison Island King – Chu Mu?” The station master, Lord Luo, looked at Chu Mu and deliberately checked out the Night Thunder Dream Beast Chu Mu was riding.

“Yes, Chu Mu is a Soul Lord with Monarch Soul Pets. Without him, it would be extremely difficult for us to successfully destroy the Demon Insect Nest.”

Zhang Qian then introduced Chu Mu to the highest authority in this district Luo Qing.

Upon learning that Chu Mu had already reached the Soul Lord Level, Luo Qing’s deputy and a novice subordinate of Zhang Qian had their eyes brighten, revealing a mix of admiration and respect for a top expert among the younger generation.

“Brother Chu Mu is truly remarkable, both in strength and courage. We are planning to clear another Sky Demon nest. What do you think, Brother Chu Mu?” Zhang Qian asked.

“Well, there’s another nest in the west. If you join, the extermination mission will be much easier.” Luo Qing seemed to appreciate Chu Mu, who had become a Soul Lord at such a young age.

Chu Mu shook his head and said, “No, a friend of mine seems to be in trouble. I need to find him as soon as possible, or his life may be in danger.”

“Friend? Is it the one you mentioned before who was trapped in the nest? How come, isn’t he in the basement?” Zhang Qian asked.

“It’s not him. It’s one of his lost Soul Pets.” Chu Mu said.

“Speaking of which, I remember a powerful young man fighting two unidentified people on the streets before the Zhehuang arrived. In the end, the young man seemed to know that his strength was not enough to defeat those two and surrendered.” Luo Qing said.

“What Soul Pets did that young man have?” Chu Mu immediately asked.

“An unnamed Ice attribute Soul Pet, a black-haired Soul Pet that seemed to have escaped on its own, and there’s one more that I don’t quite remember.” Luo Qing said.

With Luo Qing’s description, Chu Mu could be almost certain that the person fighting others was indeed Ye Wansheng. Ye Wansheng had a laid-back personality and often had disputes with others, but he was not a foolish person. He would avoid those he couldn’t handle. It was not likely to be a common conflict that two unidentified people captured him this time.

“Is he alright?” Chu Mu asked.

“He’s fine. He recalled his Soul Pets, and then the two took him away. The fight didn’t last long. When I was on a distant pavilion, they finished as soon as I sent someone to maintain order. I don’t know where they have gone.” Luo Qing said.

“It seems that he has indeed met trouble. Thank you, Lord Luo. Captain Zhang,

I have business to attend to. I’ll go first.” Chu Mu jumped on the Night Thunder Dream Beast and planned to tell Ye Qingzi about this and see if she could find any clues.

Entering the underground shelter, Chu Mu saw Ye Qingzi sitting in a daze on a stone chair in the candlelit room. From her expression, she seemed very worried about Ye Wansheng’s safety.

“Qingzi, I just heard news that your brother had fought two unidentified people in this area. Both of them had strong powers and took him away after the fight.” Chu Mu said.

Ye Qingzi opened her mouth, stood up slowly, and said, “We shouldn’t have any enemies in the Western World unless… ‘

Ye Qingzi also understood Ye Wansheng’s personality, so she naturally wouldn’t think that he had gotten into trouble after arguing with ordinary people. Now she also began to doubt who captured Ye Wansheng.

“How is he? Is he awake?” Chu Mu asked, glancing at the unconscious teenager.

The only way to find any clues now would be from the teenager, but he had been unconscious all this time.

“His complexion has gradually improved. He should wake up soon.” Ye Qingzi said.

Chu Mu sat down at one side and began meditating to recover his Soul Power. About three hours later, he heard Ye Qingzi’s voice.

“You’re awake? Don’t worry, this is the shelter in the station. It’s very safe.” Ye Qingzi gently reassured the seemingly panicked teenager.

The young man’s black eyes scanned the room, finally settling on Ye Qingzi’s face, and asked weakly, “Older sister, how did I end up here?”

“We cleared the nest there…” Ye Qingzi patiently explained everything to the teenager.

When the teenager mentioned his parents, Ye Qingzi also gently told him about their situation.

The young man was silent for a long time without speaking, his emotions building up, but his dim eyes never shed a tear. He just seemed lost.

After comforting him for a while, Ye Qingzi only asked him about the Battle Court Black Beast when she saw that the young man could talk to her.

“It was injured and hid in my yard. At that time, the Zhehuang appeared, so I let it hide with me in the cellar… It exhausted all its mental strength, allowing us to live a little longer, but as the last breath left it…”

“In its last moments, it used its Soul Sense to tell me to find a woman who owns a Battle Court Black Beast in the Great Chu Noble Family and inform her of an Eight-Colored Maple Leaf emblem…”

“Eight-Colored Maple Leaf?” Hearing this word, Ye Qingzi’s eyebrows furrowed, her beautiful face becoming a bit more solemn.

Chu Mu had never heard of this emblem or perhaps, because he had not really left the West Region, he was not very familiar with many forces yet. So he inquired Ye Qingzi.

“It’s someone from the Elemental Gate. We had some conflicts with them when we traveled through the Zhanli Realm…” Ye Qingzi said.
