Chapter 624: Chapter 495: The Eighth Realm, Prisoner Hunting Ground

This time, for the Eighth Realm competition, the game organizers didn’t deliberately separate all members, which meant that all contestants could enter Tian Shou Mountain together with their partners of the same realm beforehand.

The second-tier members of Soul Hall each acted on their own. To avoid encountering each other too soon, those who had aspirations for the final glory of the second tier dispersed early on.

Chu Mu naturally teamed up with Ye Qingzi; the two had been coordinating for a while. Ye Qingzi’s ability to assist could increase the level of Chu Mu’s soul pets by at least one or two levels. Sometimes, even when facing more enemies, there was no need to worry.

When the race organizers announced the start of the race, both Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi summoned their dream beasts and rode them into Tian Shou Mountain.

Once the competitors entered Tian Shou Mountain, the entire mountain would be closed off, not allowing anyone else to enter and not allowing competitors to leave on their own accord. Leaving would mean disqualification and elimination.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were both wise people, and they didn’t rush along the path once they entered the eastern side of Tian Shou Mountain.

They didn’t know yet why they were entering Tian Shou Mountain, so there was no point in being the first to arrive. This wasn’t a speed competition.

…

“If we keep walking along the mountain path to the top of Tian Shou Mountain, the starting point is at the foot of the mountain, so even if the peak is not the end, we will know what the race is all about.” Chu Mu found a place near a hot spring and sat down leisurely.

“Many people think like you,” Ye Qingzi walked over and allowed her Night Thunder Dream Beast to soak in the warm water of the pond.

“So, we’ll stay here for half a day to avoid stirring up trouble.” Chu Mu wore a smile on his face.

Before the situation became clear, it was best to wait and see. The whole race lasted nearly half a month, and Chu Mu didn’t believe that delaying for half a day would have any impact on his race.

“Chu Mu, in the seventh realm, you mentioned that the female sovereign has always wanted to control the Little Princess of the Nightmare Demon Palace. Does the Little Princess of the Nightmare Demon Palace not know what value she has to that female sovereign?” Ye Qingzi sat next to Chu Mu and asked.

“Yeah, at least she claims not to know anything. I’m not sure whether or not she’s telling the truth…” Chu Mu had been pondering this question as well.

If the female sovereign wanted to control Princess Jinrou so desperately, it must mean that Princess Jinrou was essential to her plans. But what were those plans? Would Princess Jinrou hinder her plans or be a part of them?

“Since you saved her, she has no reason to lie, right? Besides, she seems to be in danger herself and wants to find out the truth.” Ye Qingzi said.

“What do you think?” Chu Mu asked. Ye Qingzi was good at analysis and reasoning, and Chu Mu was accustomed to seeking her opinions.

Ye Qingzi shook her head gently. She knew very little, and the few mysterious clues made deducing difficult.

“Whistle~~~~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, Ye Qingzi’s Purple Robe Dream Beast let out a soft nasal sound, alerting Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi of something.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Qingzi quickly summoned the Purple Robe Dream Beast to her side and asked.

The Purple Robe Dream Beast had already been several stages ahead of Chu Mu’s soul pet before, and possessed the bloodline of a wandering demon spirit. Now, it had reached the ninth rank fourth stage intermediate monarch, and its restraining ability was stronger than Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast.

Following the sound made by Ye Qingzi’s Purple Robe Dream Beast, Chu Mu quickly sensed that something was approaching, and there seemed to be quite a few people!

“Let’s hide first.” Ye Qingzi quickly summoned Water Moon, who created fog using the water in the hot spring pool nearby, concealing the two.

“Their strength is not weak, this method will probably not be enough to hide us. Let’s go underwater.” Chu Mu grabbed Ye Qingzi and jumped swiftly into the hot spring water.

Ye Qingzi’s Water Moon reacted quickly and created an air bubble as Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi submerged into the water, allowing them to breathe underwater.

Water is one of the strongest mediums for blocking soul sense. As soon as Chu Mu entered the water, he quickly felt several soul senses covering the area. However, none of them successfully detected Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi underwater.

“Hahaha, we’re finally free! Let’s clean up these immature brats! I used to be able to kill a bunch of them by myself back in the day. I wonder if there are any beautiful women among them. If so, they can satisfy my thirst. It’s been too long… three years, no, four years, forget it, I can’t remember, but I can’t wait any longer!” The rough man laughed out loud.

“Don’t be careless; this is the Eighth Realm of the World Decisive, and they’re all the top young generation. Some are even stronger than us. If we’re not careful, we might end up in their hands,” said a slightly more stable man.

“So what? They’re just a bunch of youngsters. I used to kill them all on my own. I wonder if there are any beautiful women here. If so, they’ll be perfect to satisfy my thirst. It’s been a while… three years, four years… Ah, forget it, I’ve lost count, but I’m getting a little impatient!” the rough man laughed heartily.

“Don’t forget, we can’t kill people, nor can we make any misconduct. At most, we can only kill their soul pets and control one. After that, we can act like those race members to reduce the days of ban.” Another man said.

“Humph, there are so many rules. If I catch a beautiful girl, I can’t guarantee I can contain myself, haha.” The voice of the boorish man was filled with lustful flavor, clearly not a good character.

“Let’s rest and adjust our Soul Power here first. After nightfall, we’ll go up the mountain, work as a team and capture as many as possible. The more we catch, the sooner we get released.” A middle-aged woman’s voice followed.

“Alright, just the four of us, and don’t separate.”

Chu Mu heard the whole conversation of these people. He looked up and saw the boorish man sitting beside a spring pool, appearing to be meditating through the rippling water surface.

Other three people were not far from the spring pool, seemingly also meditating with a sense of Soul Pet aura around them; evidently, they were all very vigilant people.

Under the water, Ye Qingzi looked at Chu Mu with her beautiful eyes, gesturing to tell Chu Mu something.

Using Soul Sense underwater is greatly affected by the water, which is easily noticed by the four people above the water, so Ye Qingzi could only use hand gestures to communicate with Chu Mu.

Chu Mu couldn’t understand sign language, so he just stared and mistook Ye Qingzi’s gestures for fear, subconsciously embracing her even closer.

Ye Qingzi spluttered a bubble and rolled her eyes in exasperation.

She wanted to tell Chu Mu that these people might be deliberately arranged by race members to obstruct them. Judging from their conversation, especially the boorish man, it made them feel like they were prisoners who had just been released.

However, Chu Mu, hugging the enchanting and charming Ye Qingzi, and feeling the plump and smooth sensation of her skin, quickly became distracted.

It’s not Chu Mu’s fault for the lack of concentration; Ye Qingzi has an alluring figure that makes men infatuated. While their bodies are touching in the water as a lubricant, creating a sensation of bare-skin contact, Ye Qingzi’s beauty, elegance, and grace make this intimacy even more stimulating. Chu Mu’s gaze inadvertently falls onto Ye Qingzi’s body.

Ye Qingzi continued to make signs, trying to tell Chu Mu that these people on the surface might be released prisoners…

But she quickly noticed Chu Mu’s rather heated gaze and realized that as the fabric of her clothes floated away in the water, her chest area was exposed.

“Close your eyes, don’t look!” Ye Qingzi blushed fiercely with red cheeks and glared at Chu Mu.

Chu Mu’s face was thick enough to laugh off her embarrassment as he made a teasing and joking expression. This only made Ye Qingzi feel more embarrassed and wanting to push the playfully misbehaving Chu Mu away.

Chu Mu showed no sign of backing off, displaying an even more mischievous and inappropriate demeanor.

Even Ye Qingzi found Chu Mu to be too much. Ye Qingzi was right about him becoming more shameless. There were still four people on the surface who were possibly wicked criminals, but somehow Chu Mu still had the heart to take advantage.

…

Soon after, the four suspicious people finally left. Ye Qingzi, whose blushing face couldn’t even be cooled down by the water, hurriedly freed herself from Chu Mu’s embrace and returned to the surface.

In fact, Ye Qingzi didn’t really reject Chu Mu’s embrace and closeness, but she felt embarrassed about how Chu Mu was becoming even more dishonest. Ye Qingzi was a conservative girl, and this situation was indeed very awkward for her.

Chu Mu soon emerged from the water, and awkwardly looked at Ye Qingzi.

“Did you hear what I said earlier?” Ye Qingzi shyly stared at Chu Mu.

“What did you say?” Chu Mu genuinely didn’t understand what Ye Qingzi had been saying.

“…You know what you were thinking about. Those four people just now might be the key to the Eighth Realm. According to my guess, they are probably prisoners released by the World’s Contest Organizers into Tian Shou Mountain. They become opponents to all contestants once they defeat one. They can gain amnesty. Moreover, we have to face these criminals and — of course — the competing contestants as well.” Ye Qingzi explained.

“So they released the prisoners into this Tian Shou Mountain, haha, this makes it even more interesting.” Chu Mu grinned.

“They are not members of the young generation, and they might be extremely wicked people.” Ye Qingzi added.

“Yeah, extremely wicked people.” Chu Mu nodded, and the charming smile on his face showed that he wasn’t exactly a saint himself.
