Chapter 767: Chapter 637: West Region Against West Marsh

Luoyu Gate

“Luoyu, Chu Family of Gangluo City, I haven’t heard of them.” World Lord Luo Black shook his head and said.

“Lord Qiu, since you’re here, why are you suddenly interested in some unknown minor clan? We should focus on dealing with the disaster instead. This disaster comes from the West Marsh, a true Third-level Tribe. Just the two of us can’t handle it. We hope Lord Qiu will assist.” Sun Qiming of the Business Association spoke.

At this moment, there were only three people in the spacious and luxurious hall. The one sitting in the main seat was Western Realm Master Luo Black, and at the side seats were Sun Qiming, the Soul Emperor from the Business Association, and the mysterious middle-aged man who had once inquired about the Chu Family in Gangluo City.

“First, help me find information about this family. We’ll discuss other matters afterward.” The middle-aged man declared calmly.

He seemed to lack concern for the catastrophe. Clearly, he was not sent here by a certain power to alleviate the disaster situation.

Luo Black and Sun Qiming were both Soul Emperors, but their attitudes toward this man surnamed Qiu suggested that this man’s status was even higher than theirs.

Of course, Luo Black and Sun Qiming also had their own intentions. They wanted to make use of this powerful man before them to deal with the West Marsh. After all, without clearing the West Marsh, how could they obtain Spiritual Origin?

“Gangluo City, Chu Family…Alright, I’ll instruct my subordinates to investigate immediately. Rest assured, we will get news quickly.” Luo Black agreed without hesitation, seeing the determination in Lord Qiu.

Although World Lord Luo Black had sent people to take over Seven Color City, he had little concern over who was managing the city, hence he couldn’t immediately recall the Chu family from Seven Color City.

However, as a Master of a realm, it would not be too difficult to find a family within an Eighth-level city, unless they had completely changed their identities.

Shortly, Lord Luo Black ordered a search through the data of various regions and ultimately identified the newly risen Chu Family in Seven Color City within the Western Region.

At the same time, after dispersing the news, Luo Black called in a female disciple from within the gate. This disciple came from the Qin family in Gangluo city and seemed to know about the Chu Family.

“Is your name Qin Meng’er? The newly risen Chu family in Seven Color City, did they originally belong to Gangluo City and then relocate there?” Luo Black asked the bowing female disciple.

This was Qin Meng’er’s first time speaking directly to the World Lord, and she felt nervous. She nodded gently and murmured, “Yes.”

Qin Meng’er often met Chu Xing and Chu Ning when she was in World City. She knew from them that the Chu family had moved to Seven Color City in the Western Region and that she had returned to Western Realm even earlier than Chu Xing and Chu Ning.

Chu Mu previously guessed that the appearance of people from Luoyu Gate to help the Chu Family might be influenced by Qin Meng’er writing to Luoyu Gate to inform them that the most honored recipient of the first tier was from the small Chu family. In actuality, Qin Meng’er didn’t know that Soul Hall Chu Chen was Chu Mu. She only heard from Chu Xing and Chu Ning that Soul Hall Chu Chen has a blood relationship with their Chu family.

“Where is Seven Color City?” the man surnamed Qiu slowly asked.

“This… in the Western Region… it’s the area most devastated by the disaster…” Luo Black said somewhat hesitantly.

Upon hearing Luo Black’s words, the man surnamed Qiu’s face instantly changed, and his chest heaved violently.

Qin Meng’er felt the man’s formidable aura and hastily backed away a few steps. Even the two Soul Emperors sensed the unrest in Lord Qiu’s emotions— their expressions flickered.

“Luo Black, as a World Lord, you let the entire southern part of the earthly realm fall. Could anyone be more of a failure than you?” The man coldly asserted, even going as far as to directly insult the Western Realm Master!

Luo Black’s face turned even darker, but in the face of Lord Qiu’s imposing air, he dared not retaliate…

Sun Qiming sat on the side, opening his mouth as if to say something but hesitating.

Qin Meng’er stood close, her mouth agape in surprise. She hadn’t expected that the man with the highest status in the Western World, the World Lord, would be called “worthless”. Just who was this middle-aged man before her eyes!

“Send troops tomorrow to march into the Western Region and wipe out the forces in the West Marsh.” Lord Qiu commanded coldly.

“This… Lord, our forces in the Western World are limited, and the enemy is a Third-level Tribe…” Luo Black said in a humble tone.

“Hmph, when the disaster came, what were you two doing?” Lord Qiu had originally been too lazy to deal with the affairs of the Western Realm. Whether Lord Luo Black was doing well or badly, it had nothing to do with him. However, the Chu Family had moved to the Western Region, the area most affected by the disaster and it struck Lord Qiu like a bolt from the blue. All his rage was vented on this incompetent World Lord.

“We… we tried our best.” Sun Qiming said softly.

“Tried your best? Stop spouting nonsense!” Lord Qiu’s rage blazed even more intensely at Sun Qiming.

Two Soul Emperors in the Western World, and yet when the disaster struck, these two Soul Emperors felt it not at all. A great part of the southern earthly realm was inexplicably swallowed up. There should be some power of resistance even if it was a Third-level Tribe. It was apparent that these two morons have been negligent.

Lord Qiu also understood that Luo Black wouldn’t have had such a disastrous mishap if it wasn’t for his title as the former gate lord of Luoyu Gate, and thus receiving protection from the new Luoyu Gate and the larger Luo gate. Such negligence surely merits punishment!

“We were waiting for support from the Luoyu Gate in doing so.” Luo Black’s face was turning darker and darker. He had cursed Lord Qiu dozens of times in his heart.

“When will you useless people from Luoyu Gate arrive? I don’t care about chatting with you two. First thing tomorrow morning, mobilize the troops to the south and eradicate the West Marsh Tribe!” Lord Qiu delivered directly in a commanding tone.

Luo Hei kept a stern face. He knew this Lord Qiu was from the Soul Pet Palace, a person at the Palace Master level, having a much higher position than him as a Territory Lord. Yet this Western Realm was his domain. The disrespect and orders from Lord Qiu did not sit well with him at all.

Of course, despite his great displeasure, Luo Hei couldn’t let it show. Forcing a smile, he said, “We should consider this matter carefully, we cannot…”

“Tonight, I’m going to invade the Western Region. The first thing tomorrow morning, if I don’t see your troops and both of you in battle, I’ll kill you first!” A cold hum later, the man turned and left.

Startled, Luo Hei and Sun Qiming could only watch helplessly as Lord Qiu departed.

A moment later, seeing his female disciple still standing there, Luo Hei glared at her, reprimanding, “What are you still standing there for? Go!”

Frightened, Qin Meng’er swiftly bowed and left.

After leaving the hall, Qin Meng’er swiftly deduced that Lord Qiu must care greatly about the Chu Family’s survival, and quickly rushed off after him.

Back in the hall, Luo Hei and Sun Qiming sank into a bout of gloom. Eventually, in a subdued voice, one of them spoke, “Once this guy makes a move, we will likely secure at least half of the result. However, the Chu Family he is looking for is in Seven Color City, and that city isn’t far from the Spiritual Origin… If he notices the Spiritual Origin because of his temperament, I fear that he will not only monopolize it but expose our schemes too.”

“Don’t worry, the little Chu Family he’s talking about was probably wiped out by the West Marsh long ago. His journey to the Western Region is likely just to let off steam. We can conveniently use him to solve the troublesome Emperors of the West Marsh… However, just to be safe, I’ll send troops tomorrow to fight against the West Marsh. You take the opportunity to circle around to the area between Seven Color City and Barbarian Mountain Range, pretend to be sweeping the Leopard Tribe Village there. In short, we shouldn’t let him, in his rage, end up finding the Spiritual Source if he goes from the destroyed Seven Color City to Barbarian Mountain Range.” Luo Hei said.

“Why can’t you go?” Sun Qiming said, sounding a little unsatisfied.

There was a Leopard Tribe Village in the Barbarian Mountain Range. Moreover, he would have to break through the defence line of West Marsh to enter Seven Color City. Even he, Sun Qiming, might be in danger if he encountered an Emperor-level Soul Pet.

“I have to cooperate with Lord Qiu to clean up the disaster in the south. At this point, how can we be so petty? If our secret is discovered, we’ll end up spending the rest of our lives in prison!” Luo Hei said.

“Alright then.” Sun Qiming agreed reluctantly.

“Also, anyone who knows the secret of the Spiritual Origin, if they can be eliminated, they should all be eliminated…,” Luo Hei said.

“Understood.” Sun Qiming waved it off.

Barbarian Valley

After Chu Mu’s great battle, he rested for two days.

Among his soul pets, apart from Zhan Ye and Night Thunder Dream Beast, all the others were utterly exhausted. All, including Mo Ye, were sound asleep within Chu Mu’s space.

Chu Mu knew that if the West Marsh Tribe were to roll up, the entrance of the valley could only be held by the members of the Chu Family and his uncles from the Great Chu Noble Family, as he himself would find it hard to recover his combat power without five or six days’ rest.

“Brother Chu Mu, Brother Chu Mu…” Chu Yishui, full of energy, entered Chu Mu’s tent early in the morning.

“What happened?” Chu Mu asked, splashing water onto his face.

“Our Messenger Soul Pet flew out and contacted the outside world. They’re saying that from yesterday, the World Lord had mobilised the troops to fight against the disaster. Now, they’ve fought their way to nearly the Western Region City. If the situation is optimistic, it will probably reach Seven Color City in a week.” Chu Yishui said excitedly.

“Yeah, that’s good news, everyone will be saved.” Chu Mu smiled.

Presumably, the major powers should have sent their troops to fight against the West Marsh by now. In such circumstances, the West Marsh surely wouldn’t dare linger too long in human territory, and should retreat in no time.

When they retreat past Barbarian Mountain Range, the West Marsh Tribe will certainly be furious to find that the one-time resource, the Spiritual Origin, had already vanished without a trace; their journey will have been a complete waste of time.

“The Messenger Soul Pet Master has informed the outside world that more than 30,000 of us are still alive. They all said that us still being alive is nothing short of a miracle. You know, across the entire Western Region, West Mausoleum, and Langhe Domain, countless people have died. In contrast, the people from our worst-hit Seven Color City are all alive…” As Chu Yishui continued, her voice got smaller. The thought of people from three regions dying in droves due to a disaster was simply too terrifying.

“Don’t be sad anymore; things will get better.” Chu Mu comforted her upon seeing her upset.

“Yeah, thankfully we have Brother Chu Mu. Otherwise, we would have been killed by West Marsh like people from other regions. Brother Chu Mu, you are our great hero!” Chu Yishui exclaimed. Suddenly, she passionately threw her arms around Chu Mu’s neck, leaving a wet kiss on Chu Mu’s cheek.

Before Chu Mu could react, Chu Yishui had fled hurriedly, leaving Chu Mu awkwardly touching his cheek. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit to leave a recommendation vote, a monthly vote. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
