Chapter 725: Chapter 595: Sky Listener, Arenât You Dead Yet? (Part 2)
The old man spoke gently with Chu Mu for a while.
Under normal circumstances, Chu Mu would have casually accompanied the old man in conversation. After all, he was an elder-level super-strong person. Chu Mu had hardly ever interacted with someone of this level, and talking with him would definitely allow Chu Mu to learn a lot.
However, it was a critical moment, and Chu Mu valued Mo Ye as much as his own life, so he had to find a solution.
Elder Liu could see Chu Muâs urgency and sighed lightly. He said to Chu Mu, âThe words I asked Teacher De to tell you some time ago were meant to prepare you mentally.â
âI know, but itâs absolutely impossible for me to give up my soul pet,â Chu Mu said very seriously.
âSometimes itâs necessary to compromise. This time we are in the right. When you hand over your soul pet to the Soul Covenant, I will demand some things from them to compensate for your loss. This compensation will definitely be worth much more than your soul pet,â Elder Liu said.
Chu Mu shook his head and said, âEven if you give me a soul pet beyond the emperor, I wonât give up Mo Ye. Itâs not a question of whether it can be compensated or not.â
Elder Liu was stunned and felt that his words seemed pedantic. However, there was indeed no other way. All Elder Liu could do was to try to get Chu Mu as many benefits as possible.
âSoul pets can be replaced, but donât ruin yourself because of this. â Elder Liu said earnestly to Chu Mu.
Elder Liu worried that Chu Mu might be stubborn.
Elder Liu also realized that Chu Muâs Seven Sins Fox was a must-have item for the Master of the Soul Covenant. If it were anything else, the Soul Covenant would give in, considering the reputation of the Soul Hall. However, when it came to the interests of the Master, the Master would not be merciful.
âIs there really no way?â Chu Muâs heart gradually sank.
Elder Liu shook his head and said, âYou have great potential. In a few years, you will become a powerful force in the soul pet field, and even step into a higher realm. If this incident ends your career, you wonât even have the qualifications to talk about confronting the Soul Covenantâs power.â
âDonât take Sky Listenerâs constant concessions and my stalling as a sign that this isnât an important matter. The more he does this, the more it shows how important it really is and how it directly affects the interests of the Soul Covenantâs Master. He simply doesnât want me to see through it. To put it cruelly, if you donât hand over this soul pet, your other soul pets will also be affected. Although I understand that each soul pet is a life for you, you must consider the overall situationâŠâ Elder Liu worried that Chu Mu would be extreme and continued to persuade him.
âDonât want to be seen through? Does that mean Sky Listener has always kept it a secret?â Chu Mu whispered.
âPerhaps.â Elder Liu looked at Chu Mu, thinking it was time to give Chu Mu some time to think calmly.
At this moment, Elder Liu patted Chu Mu on the shoulder and said, âYou think about it. Iâll come to see you in the evening, and by then, I hope you have made a wise and mature choice.â
After saying that, Elder Liu looked deeply at Chu Mu and then walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Chu Muâs mood was extremely complicated at the moment, and his mind was racing to find a glimmer of hope.
However, thinking of the consequences of resisting â not only his other soul pets, but also everyone related to him would suffer from the Soul Covenantâs persecution â Chu Mu felt even more distraught.
âOld Fox Li, what do you say about asking Elder Liu to kill Sky Listener? Would he agree? Also, I heard that Sky Listener was injured in the battle with the Blood Beast Emperor in Immortal City?â Chu Mu asked Old Li after a long while.
âThis is generally impossible. In the whole World City, only Elder Liu can kill Sky Listener. If the Soul Covenant Master sends someone to investigate, they will know who did it. At that time, you will still suffer. To kill him and silence him, you must be able to do it without implicating yourself. The strength of Sky Listener is there, and itâs impossible for you to find other experts willing to take the risk of being dealt with by the Soul Covenant to kill Sky Listener,â Old Li said.
The secret should only be in the hands of Sky Listener himself. If they could get rid of Sky Listener without leaving a trace, then no one would know!
But how can they possibly kill a Soul Emperor with a high-ranking emperor-level soul pet?
Just as Chu Mu was full of doubts, he suddenly found that Elder Liu, who had white hair at his temples, had returned.
Chu Mu looked at Elder Liu with a puzzled expression.
âI almost forgot about another important matter,â Elder Liu said.

Sky Listenerâs Manor
Sky Listener sat heavily in the grand and empty hall with a gloomy expression on his face.
Two men dressed in dark gray clothes knelt there, one of whom was the Soul Emperor who had stopped Chu Mu from leaving the city earlier.
âSir, do you have any orders?â The plump Soul Emperor asked in a low voice.
âYou two are my most loyal subordinates, arenât you?â Sky Listener stared at them.
The two Soul Emperors looked at each other, knowing that Sky Listener must be asking them to do some underhanded and risky work.
âOf course!â the plump Soul Emperor said.
âI, Chen Peng, have always been loyal to you, sir,â the man who called himself Chen Peng said.
Sky Listener glanced at the plump Soul Emperor, seemingly feeling that this person was not entirely trustworthy. He then waved his hand and said, âYou can go.â
The bloated Soul Emperor was stunned, wondering to himself: is this a good or bad thing? Oh well, anything that involves Sky Listener canât be good, so itâs better not to get involved too much and let Chen Peng handle it.
Chen Peng stayed behind, his thoughts similar to the man who had left, trying to figure out whether it was a good or bad thing.
âIâve been in this World Realm for many years, do you know why?â Sky Listener asked.
âThis⊠I donât know.â Chen Peng lowered his head and replied.
âYou donât need to know everything, this is arranged by the Alliance Master, let me tell youâŠâ As Sky Listener spoke, a glint flashed in his eyes.
Chen Peng listened carefully, secretly rejoicing in his heart: Sky Listener was actually telling him about this important matter, which meant that his promotion and wealth were just around the corner. He couldnât help but mock the fat man who just went through the motions earlier.
âI understand, Iâve made a few special friends who I think would be more than willing to help, and they can do it without leaving a trace.â Chen Peng said seriously.
âVery well. Once the matter is done, Iâll allocate an extra piece of territory to your realm. I think youâve been wanting that piece of land for a long time, havenât you?â Sky Listener said, stroking his chin.
Upon hearing this, Chen Peng hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
That piece of territory Sky Listener mentioned had a Third Grade Emperor Spirit Source. The monthly spirit output would be enough to support a low-grade emperor in continuous combat. It was an invaluable resource. With this territory, Chen Peng no longer had to worry about being unable to support his soul petâs spirit needs, and he could even extract extra spirits to exchange for strengthening spirit items and increase his soul petsâ grades!
At the Emperor level, one grade higher could make a huge difference in status!
âRest assured, I will definitely seize the Qingzhe Dragon egg with the orthodox bloodline without fail, and as for that Chu Chen kidâŠâ Chen Pengâs eyes shifted, leaving his words unfinished.
âHmm, go ahead.â Sky Listener nodded in satisfaction.
Chen Peng left with a smile on his face, his heart filled with joy.
âKilling a young man with only one emperor-level strength without leaving a trace, as long as I know his whereabouts, itâs just too easy.â
Of course, Chen Peng wasnât stupid. Although he didnât know what Chu Muâs real background was, he wouldnât let the matter burn him either. So he quickly contacted some âunorthodoxâ experts to handle the matter.
âI never thought that the orthodox bloodline of the Heavenly Azure Dragon Egg would be in the hands of this kid. That is a high-level Emperor Dragon, and its combat power is no less than that of a peak Emperor. If it falls into my hands and I train it to the Tenth Rank, I can crush Sky Listener beneath my feet. If I accidentally reach the level beyond emperor like the Heavenly Azure DragonâŠtsk tsk.â Chen Peng was still calculating in his heart if he could deceive Sky Listener and claim the Heavenly Azure Dragon Egg for himself!
Hall interior
Watching Chen Peng leave, Sky Listener also showed a smile.
Only fools would believe that the Heavenly Azure Dragon could split and produce an orthodox bloodline Heavenly Azure Dragon Egg.
âAll the descendants of the Heavenly Azure Dragon are split Qingzhe Dragons. The true inheritance comes from the baptism with the Jade Spring Holy Blood, so how could it directly split out an orthodox Heavenly Azure Dragon descendant? Fools are just fools, but itâs good that they can help me get rid of this kid and prevent future troubles.â Sky Listener mocked.
Thinking that Chu Mu had an Emperor-level soul pet at such a young age made Sky Listener feel uneasy. Moreover, after this incident, Sky Listener was sure that Chu Mu would hold a grudge against him. Instead of having such a potentially troublesome youngster in the future, itâs better to get rid of him now!
âMy lord, is everything settled?â A seductive and enchanting concubine slowly approached, seeing that Sky Listener seemed to be in a good mood, and quickly pressed her fragrant body against him.
âAlmost.â Sky Listener laughed, a lascivious expression appearing on his solemn face as his palm quickly climbed up the concubineâs chest, and he began to flirt in the hall.

Soul Hall Courtyard
Elder Liu came to Chu Mu and handed him a Space Ring, saying, âThis is something your mother sent someone to deliver, itâs a piece of Earth Immortal Ice. She said your soul temperature is abnormally high and you need this to balance it.â
âEarth Immortal Ice!â
Chu Muâs eyes immediately lit up!
Earth Immortal Ice was a rare treasure that could increase the combat power level of Emperor-level soul pets!
Chu Mu hadnât expected Liu Binglan to actually find the extremely rare Earth Immortal Ice, and whatâs more important, it arrived at such a critical time!
Of course, Chu Mu wasnât using the Earth Immortal Ice to strengthen his own soul pets, but rather to directly reduce his soulâs high temperature!
Once his soul temperature dropped, Chu Mu could use the power he had long dared not use â half-demon!
âSky Listener, see how arrogant you are now? This time youâre dead for sure!â
Finding hope in desperation filled Chu Muâs heart with ecstasy!
