Chapter 1089 954 The Provocation of Soul Covenant

Chapter 1089: Chapter 954: The Provocation of Soul Covenant Chapter 1089: Chapter 954: The Provocation of Soul Covenant The calamity came incredibly swiftly; in a very short span of time, the Soul Covenant unearthed a vast amount of resources that had been plundered through abuse of authority from within the Queen’s Palace and some clans affiliated with the Mu Clan. It was also revealed that there had been acts of life theft perpetrated on creatures within the Seal Tower.

At the same time, some of the maidens, led by Fang Wu, collectively confessed the disgraceful acts they had been forced to commit under the oppression of Mu Qingyi, all due to Mu Qingyi’s personal desires.

All these unfounded accusations and continuous spread of rumors, starting from many people’s disbelief to the phenomenon where repeated hearsay becomes accepted truth, gradually grew more widespread. Conversations about the Queen, who was about to inherit the throne of Wanxiang Realm, could be heard in every alley and street.

“Alas, I always thought she was like the Empress, a kind and empathetic Queen, but I never imagined she would do so many things,” the Old Man sighed.

“I used to admire her so much, seeing her once was worth shortening my life by ten years. Who would have thought she had such a malicious heart?” The emotions of the youth are easily influenced, especially those who had already devoted their hearts to the Empress.

“No wonder she advanced in strength so quickly, deemed a once-in-a-millennium genius. It turns out it was all built upon these filthy things. If I had them, I could reach that level too!” Some blind Soul Pet Masters exclaimed indignantly!

Mu Qingyi had actually amassed a considerable number of followers, but with the Soul Covenant’s incontrovertible evidence, they simply couldn’t speak up for the person they believed in and admired. Moreover, the person who stepped forward to expose Mu Qingyi’s true face was that noble fairy, making it truly difficult for anyone to believe that such a neutral fairy would frame Mu Qingyi.

In no time, the city was caught up in a storm of controversy; the various rumors about Mu Qingyi shattered her reputation in an extremely short period.

Unless it was those deeply rooted in support of the Mu Clan, it’s likely that wherever she went, she would be seen as a monarch criminal to be thrown into the Seal Tower.

…

“Weak and without support, and then maintaining neutrality, is this the consequence?” Mu Qingyi murmured bitterly to herself.

Mu Qingyi didn’t want anyone other than Chu Mu to know she was hiding here, precisely because she had maintained neutrality.

She was certain that the Three Great Palaces might not be willing to help her, because no matter what, they still grouped her with the Soul Covenant, as evident from the defenses at Snow City.

So, from the perspective of the Three Great Palaces, this calamity was merely an internal conflict of the Soul Covenant, and they would absolutely not meddle unnecessarily, and might even kick her while she’s down to truly gain the benefits of the Wanxiang Realm.

Mu Qingyi chose to trust Chu Mu, but she didn’t dare trust anyone from the Three Great Palaces.

As for why she trusted Chu Mu, Mu Qingyi could only say it was a gamble. Fortunately, this man did not betray her.

…

“Stop sulking in the room, come out to the courtyard and get some fresh air,” Chu Mu pushed open the room door and saw Mu Qingyi still sitting there, looking somewhat depressed.

Mu Qingyi hesitated for a moment, but still did not stand up.

Chu Mu walked over to her and placed a veil in front of her, saying, “Then wear the veil, it will give you a sense of mystery.”

But Mu Qingyi stood up, defiantly stating, “I won’t wear it.”

“All right, then go for a walk. There are some Spirit Grasses planted in the forest. The Spiritual Energy there is quite dense and will aid in your recovery. When my wife finishes her closed-door cultivation, I’ll have her heal your injured soul,” Chu Mu said.

Mu Qingyi had just taken a step out when she froze, asking, “Your wife?”

“Yeah, she’s a Spirit Master,” Chu Mu nodded.

“Can a Spirit Master heal a soul?” Mu Qingyi continued to ask.

As far as Mu Qingyi knew, no Spirit Masters in this World could heal a soul.

“Yes, she’s somewhat special,” Chu Mu didn’t elaborate further and led Mu Qingyi towards the forest where the Spirit Grasses were grown.

A gentle breeze caressed her cheeks, intermingled with the scent of herbs. Mu Qingyi instinctively took a breath and felt the fragrances penetrate deeply into her being, dispelling all the gloom within her body, and suddenly, her mood was much lighter.

During this time, she had been engulfed in pain and sorrow, and the constant spread of slanders further darkened her spirits. Yet for some reason, after smelling these aromas, she felt many things suddenly became clear.

“Perhaps, this also serves to unload my burden, allowing me to pursue the path of Soul Pets without any concerns,” Mu Qingyi murmured to herself.

She gently closed her eyes, breathing in the scents of the place with some enjoyment.

Chu Mu stood by her side, noticing that Mu Qingyi seemed to have adjusted and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, heading to the Demonic Realm in her previous state of mind would have been no different from seeking death.

“Whimper~~~~~~~” Little Mo Xie lay on Chu Mu’s shoulder, yawned with its small mouth, cutely sporting a drowsy look.

Little Mo Xie was eager to go to the Demonic Realm now and have an all-out battle with the creatures inside for three hundred rounds. Otherwise, staying inside the Soul Hall all day was just too boring.

Initially, when Mu Qingyi appeared, Little Mo Xie was itching to spar with Mu Qingyi’s Soul Pet, but unfortunately, Mu Qingyi was in no mood for that, so Little Mo Xie could only continue to boringly lie on Chu Mu’s shoulder, sleeping, its nine little tails occasionally swaying, and sometimes deliberately sweeping across Chu Mu’s face to show its boredom!

Little Mo Xie was a heartbreaker for females. After such coquetry, Mu Qingyi was also amused by its adorable appearance and wanted to reach out to touch it.

“`

“Let others touch you as a form of comfort,” Chu Mu told Little Mo Xie through Mental Sound, not allowing her to dodge away.

Little Mo Xie made a whining sound as if to protest.

Little did others know how many people yearned for such treatment, yet this little creature didn’t seem to take such a high-level beauty seriously at all.

“Has it always been with you?” Mu Qingyi asked softly as she gently stroked Little Mo Xie’s silver fur.

“Yeah, always,” Chu Mu nodded.

Looking at Chu Mu, Mu Qingyi realized how certain he was. And those simple words made her feel that this man treasured his Soul Pet almost as much as his own life, perhaps even more.

Unintentionally, Mu Qingyi’s spirits dampened as she quietly said, “My phoenix too, though I only signed the soul contract after reaching the Soul Emperor realm, I had been taking care of her before that.”

“Could it be that your Crowned Phoenix King also…” Chu Mu was stunned.

If Mu Qingyi’s Crowned Phoenix King had also perished, it would have been a fatal blow to her!

Mu Qingyi shook her head, “Every Phoenix Clan has their own escape technique. When my phoenix’s life was about to extinguish, she turned into a bundle of flame and hid inside my Soul Pet Space. If I can find a place for Nirvana resurrection within a year, she can be revived.”

“That’s good,” Mu Qingyi’s words reminded Chu Mu of a book about the Phoenix Clan he had read not long ago, which indeed recorded that they all have their unique lifesaving skills.

“It seems someone is coming,” Mu Qingyi whispered.

“Then you should go back to the room. I also heard some noisy commotions outside just now,” Chu Mu said and then led Mu Qingyi back to the room.

…

Moments later, a man entered Chu Mu’s courtyard, complaining as he walked.

“It’s too much. Are they trying to provoke trouble with us at Soul Hall on purpose? Those who rely on their numbers, if they continue being arrogant, we will beat them up thoroughly!”

Chu Mu watched from a distance as Teng Lang approached, and of course, his incessant chattering drifted over as well.

“Brother Chu, Brother Chu, did you hear about your goddess Mu Qingyi’s incident?” Teng Lang saw Chu Mu sitting in the courtyard and hurried over.

“Please drop the ‘your’,” Chu Mu said with a black face.

Mu Qingyi probably heard that.

“Sigh, it’s only a matter of time,” Teng Lang added quite insensitively.

“I’ve heard about it. What’s going on outside?” Chu Mu felt if he dwelled on this issue, Mu Qingyi would hear even more unfavorable content, so he quickly changed the subject.

“I was just about to tell you about this, the bunch of dogs from Soul Covenant, they actually accused us of harboring a criminal. They said someone pursued her all the way here, but ultimately Mu Qingyi’s traces were lost near our Soul Hall territory. The world is really full of all kinds, finding such ridiculous excuses to provoke our Soul Hall. In my opinion, even if we did harbor her, so what? Such a beautiful and powerful woman, if Soul Covenant doesn’t want her, we’ll take her!” Teng Lang declared confidently.

Chu Mu gave a wry smile. Couldn’t Teng Lang keep the latter part of his speech less impassioned, as if he was afraid Mu Qingyi couldn’t hear?

“Who has come knocking? What kinds of people are they?” Chu Mu inquired.

“Xiong Mo Moling led some random dogs, saying we either let them search or hand over the person. Otherwise, they would not hesitate to stir up trouble in Wanxiang City. Say, Brother Chu, can you tolerate this? Those from Soul Covenant hurt your woman and are causing trouble on our turf…” Teng Lang spoke without restraint.

“We should switch to communicating mentally,” Chu Mu’s face turned darker.

“How have they hurt me?”

Suddenly, a pleasant voice floated over.

Chu Mu turned around and saw the seductive Ye Qingzi standing there, looking at Teng Lang with confusion as he ranted.

Of course, Chu Mu had sensed Ye Qingzi’s arrival, but Teng Lang, that guy was shouting so loudly he definitely must have heard her.

“Uh, it’s nothing, I was just saying if they dare hurt my junior sister… hmm-hmm!” Teng Lang reacted swiftly, immediately adopting a serious tone without any hint of correcting his words!

Ye Qingzi glanced at the two bewildering men and secretly guessed that perhaps she was too tired and misheard due to needing rest. Hence, she paid them no mind and said, “I’m going to rest for a bit, you guys chat.”

Chu Mu was about to call Ye Qingzi back but then thought probably Mu Qingyi was already hidden well, and Ye Qingzi wouldn’t notice her for the time being, so he didn’t make an effort to keep her.

But things seemed to stray from what Chu Mu expected!

Before the room door could close, suddenly, a mass of dark flames swiftly ignited, and the aura of a Peak Emperor Grade Darkflame Sky Demon swept across in an instant!

At the same time, a harsh and cold aura burst forth, colliding with the energy of the Darkflame Sky Demon. Ice and fire instantly dissipated, turning into a tumultuous wave of energy that spread outwards. (to be continued.
