Chapter 724: Chapter 594: Sky Listener, Aren’t You Dead Yet? (Part 1)

Chu Mu actually didn’t know that Tian Ting would not suspect Mo Ye. It was because of an unintentional remark made by the elder.

When Elder Liu secretly protected Chu Mu and found that Chu Mu was being watched by Tian Ting, he immediately stepped in to stop it, declaring Chu Mu’s identity as the son of the Soul Hall Honorable Lady and a young master.

The Honorable Lady had a transcendent status in the Soul Hall, and she also held a position in the Soul Alliance, as one of the Sixteen Extremes—Star Extreme. She was considered Tian Ting’s immediate superior.

In order not to expose the matter, the Alliance Master assigned the inconspicuous Tian Ting to do it. If Tian Ting forcibly acted against Chu Mu, given the character of Star Extreme, she would probably not hesitate to destroy him.

This matter was ordered by the Alliance Master, who repeatedly emphasized the need for a low profile. Hence, Tian Ting could only tell Elder Liu that Chu Mu inadvertently picked up one of Soul Alliance’s treasures, which must be returned.

When Elder Liu asked about the treasure, Tian Ting could not be too nervous. He pretended to be calm and said that it was a relatively important item.

Tian Ting knew that if he showed how important the item was, the old fox Elder Liu would not hesitate to investigate. If the news were leaked, it would cause great trouble.

During the ninth realm, Chu Mu summoned the Emperor-level Soul Pet, Seven Sins Fox.

At that time, Elder Liu suddenly understood and secretly believed that the Soul Pet Tian Ting was referring to was Chu Mu’s Fallen Flame Emperor of the Seven Sins Fox.

Tian Ting’s thoughts were different. He was obviously puzzled and couldn’t confirm anything. He remembers the Alliance Master mentioning that the Soul Pet egg had been placed under a prohibition and should not hatch within ten years. Yet, the appearance of the emperor-level Seven Sins Fox was too abrupt.

How could Elder Liu, such a skilled in psychological warfare, be tricked by Tian Ting’s thoughts?

So, when Chu Mu summoned the Seven Sins Fox, Elder Liu appeared calm and threw out a brick to attract jade, saying, “Indeed, that spirit pet seems to have a high talent.”

With Elder Liu’s words, Tian Ting immediately realized that the Seven Sins Fox might have been a gift from Elder Liu and Madame.

The Seven Sins Fox was a perfect monarch, and it was possible for a Soul Lord to sign a soul pact with it without the fox betraying. Although the Seven Sins Fox was rare and unusual, for the entire Emperor Realm and for someone like Tian Ting, it wasn’t that conspicuous.

Tian Ting despised Elder Liu and Madame for secretly giving such a heaven-defying Soul Pet to their junior, which undermined the rules of the World’s Contest Organizers.

Tian Ting himself was the head of the top four seats. If some of the banned Soul Pets of the younger generation came from their elders’ gifts, the rewards would definitely be confiscated.

However, Tian Ting didn’t want to offend Elder Liu too much now, just to avoid the old fox from discovering anything, so he simply turned a blind eye to it.

Since the Seven Sins Fox was a gift from Elder Liu and Madame to Chu Mu, Tian Ting naturally had to rule Mo Ye out.

Thus, when Tian Ting called for Chu Mu to hand over the Soul Pet egg, he was not aware that the Alliance Master’s wanted soul pet egg had hatched long ago, and had been accompanying Chu Mu constantly, mutating continuously into the Seven Sins Fox!

Of course, Chu Mu’s calmness was also crucial. If Tian Ting threatened and Chu Mu immediately swore that he would not hand over Mo Ye, it would have directly exposed the secret.

After quickly thinking, Chu Mu felt that he had to stall the other party for a while, and immediately said to Tian Ting, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve only got the Zhe Dragon egg, which just hatched not long ago.”

“Don’t play dumb with me! Don’t mention the Zhe Dragon egg, hand over the Soul Pet egg with the prohibition immediately, or I’ll make your death extremely ugly!” Tian Ting impatiently said!

“The Soul Pet egg with prohibition? How could I have such a thing!” Chu Mu was good at pretending when he needed to, and at this moment, he looked righteous and indignant.

Tian Ting was angered and directly grabbed Chu Mu’s collar!

Just now, Chu Mu’s startled expression clearly showed that he had the item in hand. Even if Tian Ting was stupid, he wouldn’t have missed that clue.

And now, this kid was still playing dumb and disrespecting Tian Ting. Did he really think that he wouldn’t dare to do anything just because this place was the Soul Hall?

“Tian Ting, the young ones are inexperienced. There’s no need to use a Soul Skill just to teach them a lesson, right?” At this moment, a middle-aged man with a dry voice said.

Tian Ting was startled and turned to see a middle-aged man with slightly graying hair appearing in the courtyard. The man had broken through the soul sense barrier he had set up without him even noticing!

The middle-aged man with graying hair walked up to Tian Ting, placed his hand on his shoulder, and motioned for him to control his anger.

Tian Ting’s face looked strange, and he deeply suppressed his anger!

Chu Mu watched this suddenly appearing man, feeling secretly surprised. Tian Ting was considered the strongest person in World City besides the king. How could this unknown old man make him disperse his anger so easily, leaving him with such a bizarre appearance?

“Young Master, this old man is Elder Liu, it seems you still have a chance!” Fox Elder’s voice immediately floated in.

“Elder Liu, is he very strong?” Chu Mu hurriedly asked.

“Strong! Not just any kind of strong! This old man’s sub-pet could probably defeat Tian Ting!” Fox Elder said.

His secondary pet defeated the Sky Listener, who was the chief of the Four Seats. Chu Mu was shocked, as he couldn’t tell that this mild-mannered old man was actually so powerful!

“Is he trustworthy?” Chu Mu asked seriously.

“His surname is Liu. Do you think he can be trusted?” Fox Elder asked in return.

Chu Mu had been too nervous and had overlooked this detail!

“You should tell him the truth now so that he can find a way to help you. If you hide it, it will only backfire. After all, you have to rely on him in order to keep Little Fox. You should know that Sky Listener is no ordinary person. He may not realize now that the soul pet egg brought by the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon is Little Fox, but as long as you don’t hand over something that meets his requirements, he will quickly lock onto the Seven Sins Fox and trace it back, then he can find a continuous mutant trail!” Fox Elder said.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded, remaining silent as he watched the two men.

…

“Elder Liu, since I have to wait for the end of The World Decree to report back to the Soul Covenant, I have been very patient waiting for the end of the competition before I came to claim the item. Elder, you are trying to stop me now. Do you want to take the Alliance Master’s stuff for yourself?” Sky Listener’s temper had softened as he spoke to the elder.

“Of course not.” Elder Liu put on a gentle smile, slowly walked over to Chu Mu, and said: “Chu Chen, did you accidentally pick up something that doesn’t belong to you while you were on Prison Island?”

Elder Liu deliberately walked between Chu Mu and Sky Listener, both to protect Chu Mu and to communicate with him through soul sense.

“I can hold off Sky Listener, but if other Soul Covenant experts show up, not only will you be in trouble, but we won’t be able to protect you either. It’s better to return the Soul Covenant’s property to them.” The elder then said seriously.

The elder could guess that the Alliance Master’s belongings must be very important. All the elder could do was delay the process. If the Alliance Master were angered, no one could bear the responsibility.

“No, he has already signed a soul contract with me!” Chu Mu immediately told Elder Liu using his soul sense.

Elder Liu appeared calm, but his heart was shocked: Could it be the Seven Sins Fox?

Elder Liu didn’t communicate much with Chu Mu, just sighed, and turned to Sky Listener: “Let me talk to him for a bit. Don’t worry, the Alliance Master’s belongings will be handed over.”

“Wait again? Elder, you really don’t take the Alliance Master seriously!!” This time Sky Listener was more assertive.

Sky Listener couldn’t wait any longer!

“Chu Chen is young and impulsive. He doesn’t understand the stakes involved. Let me explain everything to him so that he’ll understand and willingly hand it over. This way, we can avoid any hard feelings. Moreover, the object is not on him right now. Chu Chen knows how precious it is, so he hid it away and needs to get it back. Otherwise, you can go back to your residence first, and I will personally deliver it to you.” Elder Liu smiled and said.

“Hmph, if it is not handed over by the end of the day, I’ll have to report to the Alliance Master, and let him handle it personally.” Sky Listener snorted coldly and then left immediately.

Sky Listener wasn’t afraid that Chu Mu and Elder Liu would dare to keep the Alliance Master’s belongings for themselves. After all, whoever touched it would die, including Soul Hall Elders!

…

Sky Listener left quickly and decisively, of course, with a resentful look on his face.

If it hadn’t been for the mysterious appearance of the Soul Hall Elder, this matter would have been resolved long ago, and it wouldn’t have been dragged out for so long!

He secretly decided that if he had a chance in the future, he would definitely teach Chu Mu a lesson!

After Sky Listener left, Elder Liu stood in front of Chu Mu and set up another soul sense barrier.

“Your real name should be Chu Mu, right?” A faint smile appeared on Elder Liu’s face, showing a hint of kindness in his eyes, which indicated that he was indeed quite old.

“Yes.” Chu Mu nodded, looking at the white-haired old man in front of him. He was unsure how to address him, as Chu Mu knew that his mother’s background was rather ambiguous.

“I am your mother’s adoptive father. I took care of you for a while when you were very young.” The old man didn’t talk about serious matters but chatted with Chu Mu about these things instead.

“Um… I don’t remember much, but since you are my mother’s adoptive father, then you are my grandfather.” Chu Mu had a good first impression of this “grandfather.”

“At that time, you were in the Soul Hall, only about three or four years old. Later, your father took you to the West Region. We lost contact soon after that since the West Region is remote. If you feel uncomfortable calling an unfamiliar person ‘grandfather,’ you can just call me ‘elder’.” Elder Liu could easily read Chu Mu’s thoughts.

“No, I’m grateful to my grandfather for protecting me.” Chu Mu wouldn’t let his manners slip.

If it hadn’t been for his timely appearance, Chu Mu would have been in grave danger earlier. He really had to sincerely thank the old man.

Seeing Chu Mu calling him ‘grandfather,’ a deeper smile appeared on Elder Liu’s face. It seemed that his previous words were merely a polite gesture, as he genuinely wished for Chu Mu to acknowledge him as his grandfather.
