Chapter 1090: Chapter 955: Iâll Handle It Chapter 1090: Chapter 955: Iâll Handle It The palace where Chu Mu resided had already been very sturdily built, such that even Emperor-level creatures might not be able to shake it in the slightest.
However, the energy released from the collision of dark fire and cold ice was clearly at the Peak Emperor Grade, and in an instant, it turned Chu Muâs spacious and luxurious room into a pile of ruins, which pained Chu Mu deeply.
âWho is so bold to dare to stealâŠâ Teng Lang was furious and was about to summon his Soul Pet to capture the assassin hidden in Chu Muâs room when he was stunned to find two women already standing atop the ruins. One of them was Ye Qingzi, accompanied by a Darkflame Sky Demon, and the other left Teng Langâs eyes wide open in shock!
Teng Lang dumbfoundedly looked at Mu Qingyi, who was accompanied by a White Tiger, then stiffly turned his head towards Chu Mu, his heart filled with astonishmentâŠ
This Chu Fangchen had actually dared to hide Mu Qingyi, who was wanted by the Soul Covenant, in his own roomâthe audacity!
âUhâŠIâŠI didnât see anythingâŠâ After a while, Teng Lang finally came to his senses, hurriedly speaking to Chu Mu with a confused expression on his face.
Chu Mu had thought that Mu Qingyi could be well hidden, but he clearly underestimated Ye Qingziâs perceptiveness. Fortunately, everyone present was trustworthy, so a simple explanation sufficed.
Ye Qingzi was very sharp-witted and smart. Seeing that Chu Mu had no intention of attacking, she roughly guessed that this woman hidden in her own room was not an assassin.
Thereupon, she slowly walked up to Chu Muâs side, tilting her eyes at him with a look of feigned anger as if to say, explain well or youâre in for it.
âShe is the Heavenly Consort Mu Qingyi, who recently faced some mishaps and is momentarily recuperating with us,â Chu Mu first clarified her identity before proceeding.
âOh?â Ye Qingzi was somewhat surprised, and then she carefully looked at Mu Qingyi.
Mu Qingyi, after all, represented one of the strongest Female Soul Pet Trainers in the human domain, and many women aspired to be like her. And for Ye Qingzi, who was meeting such a figure for the first time, curiosity naturally stirred within her.
However, as a Spirit Master, Ye Qingzi quickly deduced that this formidable woman, who should have had few rivals in the human domain, appeared somewhat weak, her soul clearly having suffered some trauma.
Chu Mu had set up a spatial barrier far outside his palace, ensuring that despite the great disturbance here, it would not reach the outside.
The room and hall had both turned into ruins, so Chu Mu had no choice but to have the three of them sit in the relatively intact courtyard while he briefly explained what had happened.
âWhy is it always her?â Ye Qingzi murmured upon learning that Mu Qingyi had been framed by the Empress.
This woman truly seemed to wield her power unquestionably, even managing to reduce Mu Qingyi, the soon-to-be queen of Wanxiang Realm, to such a state.
âQingzi, you go and rest first, adjust yourself, and then help her with her injuries,â Chu Mu told Ye Qingzi.
âAlright,â Ye Qingzi nodded, intending to head to her room but realizing it was just ruins, she turned back and rolled her eyes at Chu Mu, saying, âThe beautiful hall and bedrooms are destroyed just like that, and there were many things inside that Manâer and I had bought.â
âLetâs go shopping together when we have the time. But your soul sense has grown stronger,â Chu Mu said.
âYes, I broke through a few days ago,â Ye Qingzi nodded, said goodbye to Mu Qingyi and Teng Lang, and then walked out of the courtyard to rest somewhere else.
Soul Hall had plenty of such spacious palaces, and Ye Qingzi could pick any. With no Nightmare Demon Palace around, it was expected that Jiang Demon Emperor and the Elders would be very eager to please her.
After Ye Qingzi left, Teng Lang suddenly thought of something and, with an embarrassed expression, asked using a mental sound, âShe didnât hear what I said earlier, did she?â
âNonsense,â Chu Mu responded, not in the best of moods.
âHehe, Brother Chu, you really impress me totally with your audacity. Push a bit harder to win over another goddess, and your merit will be complete. I must say, that calmness, it makes me wonder if you used to do this kind of thing often, hiding your concubine in the golden house, to the point where sheâs gotten used to it,â Teng Lang teased.
ââŠâ Chu Mu really didnât feel like jibing with Teng Lang.
Since Ye Qingzi naturally had such a calm temperament, Chu Mu sometimes liked to tease her intentionally, watching her blush, which also brought out a slight wicked pleasure in him.
âYour Highness, I, Teng Lang, believe you must have been framed. Rest assured here; I wonât disturb you further and will take my leave now,â Teng Lang said as he stood up to leave.
âTeng Lang, she doesnât want others to know sheâs here; donât tell anyone,â Chu Mu instructed Teng Lang.
âYeah,â Teng Lang nodded.
After Teng Lang left, Mu Qingyi fell into deep thought for a long time before saying to Chu Mu, âSince they have already found this place, I think itâs best if I leave Wanxiang City as soon as possible.â
âLetâs discuss it when your injury is healed,â Chu Mu said.
âBut, theyâve already challenged your Soul Hall, and thereâs indeed a possibility that they discovered my whereabouts when I escaped hereâŠâ Mu Qingyi expressed her fear of implicating Chu Mu.
âJust focus on healing, Iâll handle the rest,â Chu Mu said calmly.
Mu Qingyi hadnât recovered from her injuries, so how could she travel to the Demonic Realm? As for Xiong Mo Moling wanting to come to the Soul Hall to cause trouble, this was exactly what Chu Mu wanted. After all, itâs not easy to enhance the White Demonâs strength and not test it on someone. How else would Chu Mu know just how strong the White Demon now is?
âActually, you donât need to hide like this; the more you evade, the more likely it is that the rumors turn true,â Chu Mu said.
Chu Mu could tell that Mu Qingyi was inherently upright, just like her rage in Snow City when the Dominator Level Silver Demon appeared, which was a threat to human safety. Since Mu Qingyi chose to trust him to evade capture, Chu Mu planned to get involved!
âMy power is limited, now that the Crowned Phoenix King has turned to ashâŠâ Mu Qingyi said, having no other alternatives.
âŠ

The matter of Mu Qingyi was no trivial issue, and with the Soul Covenant convinced that she was hiding in the Soul Hall, the atmosphere among the Three Great Palaces and the Soul Covenant became particularly tense. In the eyes of the Soul Hall, it was apparent that the Soul Covenant was deliberately looking for an excuse to stir up trouble!
Soon, a meeting was held within the Soul Hall to discuss the next steps.
At the meeting, Tu Zun sat with a worried expression, occasionally rubbing his temples. It truly was a troublesome autumn; this time, the Soul Covenant seemed intent on taking a bite out of the Soul Hall.
âThe Soul Covenant is really going too far,â Grand Elder Chao said irritably. âThey give us three days as if they want a battle. Havenât we fought them enough?â
âThe Soul Covenant probably doesnât really want to start a war. After all, this is Wanxiang City. Whoever starts the war first will lose most of the peopleâs heart and will also incur the displeasure of many hermits who disregard worldly affairs,â Elder Teng said.
âNo rush, weâll just wait until the third day to see what kind of people they send.â
After the discussion, everyone still felt it was best to wait and see. Of course, the Soul Hall also needed to be ready for battle.
âChu Fangchen, how is your White Nightmare Demonic now?â Tu Zun looked at Chu Mu, who rarely spoke at meetings, and asked.
Chu Mu hesitated for a moment, feeling that since the Soul Covenant was planning to take a bite out of the Soul Hall, it might be better to disclose the issue, at least to clarify some things about Mu Qingyiâs situation.
âHeavenly Consort Mu Qingyi is indeed in our Soul Hall,â Chu Mu finally said.
Tu Zun, who had initially just casually asked about the status of the White Nightmare Demonic, was clearly taken aback by Chu Muâs revelation.
âChu Fangchen, donât talk nonsense like that, isnât this giving the Soul Covenant a handle against us?â a black-bearded elder coughed and said.
Elder Liu Xinji meanwhile looked at Chu Mu, knowing him well enough to understand that Chu Mu wouldnât say such an inexplicable thing without reason, and inquired immediately, âIs she really hiding in our Soul Hall?â
âYes, sheâs recuperating in my palace,â Chu Mu nodded.
Chu Muâs statement immediately caused an uproar during the meeting, sparking a flurry of discussion.
âChu Fangchen, why are you doing this? Donât you know that she has already angered many forces?â Tu Zun still managed to ask with a calm and measured tone.
âActually, youâve also seen it, whether the falsely accused Heavenly Consort is hiding in our Soul Hall or not, the Soul Covenant plans to take a bite out of us. Rather than that, we might as well admit it and seek justice for her. You all understand the saying âthe enemy of our enemy is our friend,'â Chu Mu said.
âThatâs true, but she is indeed a sensitive topic now, sheâs not one of our Three Great Palaces, getting involved for her might be more loss than gain,â Elder Teng said.
In fact, many forces were clear that Mu Qingyi could have been framed by someone else, but who dared to intervene in this matter?
Wanxiang City was essentially dominated by the Soul Covenant, and the Three Great Palacesâ advantage lay in their massive membership base and thousands of years of accumulated prestige. This time Mu Qingyi had clearly lost public support; forcefully speaking up for her would definitely damage themselves, and most importantly, speaking up for a neutral person was really unnecessary.
âThis ally is very necessary,â Chu Mu said.
As long as Mu Qingyiâs Crowned Phoenix King could be revived, the Soul Covenant would inevitably be extremely wary of Mu Qingyi. The most important thing was that when she regained her strength, the Three Great Palaces would have the security of a Dominator-level powerhouse.
Moreover, the Three Great Palaces had clearly underestimated Mu Qingyiâs power; her White Tiger had broken through during that night of escape, meaning even if the Crowned Phoenix King couldnât be revived, it wouldnât be long before the White Tiger became a new Dominator.
Most importantly, if the Crowned Phoenix King revived, coupled with a White Tiger that had already broken through the heavens, Mu Qingyiâs power would be incredibly formidable!
So, this favor was something Chu Mu had to give!
âHumph, Chu Fangchen you better not meddle too much,â said a somewhat obese Elder Xiao, discontentedly. âWhat if after three days, the people from the Soul Covenant come attacking and Xiong Mo Moling appears as well? Who will deal with it then?â
Chu Mu looked calmly at the elder and said astonishingly, âI will handle it.â
