Chapter 1103: Chapter 968: Someday, You Must Learn to Stand on Your Own Chapter 1103: Chapter 968: Someday, You Must Learn to Stand on Your Own The strength of the Fox King of Seven Sins was stronger than even Mu Qingyi in her complete victorious state. Mu Qingyi, with her ability to control five elements, wasnāt the match of the Fox while leading the battle with the Crowned Phoenix King and being surrounded by other Invincible Emperors. This revealed just how terrifying the strength of this Fox of Absolving Sin, the guardian of the Demonic Realm, truly was.
Therefore, entering the Demonic Realm, Chu Mu and others would certainly not choose to enter from a location guarded by the Fox King of Seven Sins; instead, they opted for another ancient path with special prohibitions to sneak in.
This ancient path was also extremely dangerous, and Mu Qingyi didnāt dare to guarantee that they could pass through it safely, so she was in favor of forming a team to go there. This team must include the presence of soul pets of various attributes; otherwise, once a group of guardians with opposing attributes appeared, it would be very difficult for them to cope.
Among the six of them, Pang Yue was a Support Soul Pet Master. Although she wasnāt as professional as Ye Qingzi, she should be able to perform all the basic battle support functions. She was one of the strongest among the younger generation of support soul pet masters. Since Ye Qingzi couldnāt go, it was natural for her to take on the role of support soul pet master.
Teng Lang relied on the Peak Emperor Grade Ice Mountain Lion, and Mu Qingyi said that Ice Element soul pets were indispensable in that ancient path. And instead of letting some Elders go, it was better to include Teng Lang with greater potential in the team; at least for him, it was a good opportunity to gain experience, and if he got hold of some fortune, it would be greatly beneficial for him.
Crown Prince Chao Lengcuan was rather mysterious, and had not appeared yet. However, from what Chu Mu learned from Tu Zun Ke Yin, this Crown Prince had already successfully acquired the Inheritance of Zuo Zun and was definitely capable of standing on his own. If he went with them, there would be a great assurance of safety, and since Chao Lengcuan was a soul pet master who wholeheartedly sought the path of cultivation, venturing into the unknown demonic realm would likely be a rare opportunity for self-cultivation.
Shen Mo was a man with a very low profile and excelled in hiding his strength; no one among the Three Great Palaces was his match in this art. According to Chu Muās estimation, this guyās strength definitely did not lose to the characters holding the Soul Allianceās Top Position.
Among the six, perhaps only Pang Yue and Teng Lang would be weaker. Pang Yue was a Support Soul Pet Master, so being weaker didnāt matter much. As for Teng Lang, it was estimated that he would have to rely on an Ice Mountain Lion to hold his ground. Fortunately, this time the ancient path required more of flexible actions, where great strength might be also limited.
On the evening before their departure, the six gathered in Chu Muās courtyard, where Mu Qingyi wanted to discuss some detailed issues with everyone.
Teng Lang indicated that Chao Lengcuan would appear tonight, so when the five of them were already seated in the pavilion, they all waited with great interest for the appearance of the elusive Crown Prince of Soul Hall.
Chu Mu had heard of the Crown Prince of Soul Hall back in World Cityāa truly legendary figure whom Chu Mu was indeed eager to befriend.
However, after a lengthy wait, Chao Lengcuan still had not shown up. Instead, a very shy man appeared, seemingly one of the disciples from Soul Hall who greatly admired Chu Mu and had come to see him in particular.
āSorry, we have matters to discuss tonight, you should head back first,ā Chu Mu instinctively waved his hand, telling the somewhat awkward admirer to leave.
Such people came to see him almost every day; Chu Mu did not have the time to provide signatures or encouragement to all of them.
āErā¦ Brother Chu, he is the Crown Princeā¦ā It was then that Teng Lang awkwardly whispered in Chu Muās ear.
This statement made everyone there, including Mu Qingyi, widen their eyes in disbelief, looking at the shy man in front of them!!
Out of the five people present, only Teng Lang had really seen the Crown Prince. Until now, everyone had heard that the Crown Prince was a handsome and spirited man with a dignified presence. Who would have imagined that this guy looked just like a fledgling scholar, lacking any trace of the confidence or composure of a high-ranking person, not to mention the overbearing aura that was rumored to surround the young soul of the Three Great Palaces!
āEveryone, my apologies, Iām sorry. With the travels tomorrow, my mother had endless concerns after dinnerā¦ So Iām lateā¦ā This Crown Prince, who should have been carefree, was actually a bit embarrassed providing such a reason.
āTeng Lang, are you sure this undeveloped kid is the Crown Prince?ā Shen Mo asked with a slanted glance, whispering.
āThatā¦ everyone who sees the Crown Prince reacts just like you guys. Actually, this guy isnāt as impressive as the rumors suggest, not lightning in his eyes or a storm in his presence, but rather just a fanatic who has been immersed in cultivation since young. He rarely interacts with others, especially femalesā¦ā Teng Lang spoke telepathically.
āThis must be Lady Tianji. Iāve long admired you.ā Chao Lengcuan, looking slightly downward, greeted Mu Qingyi with some polite words.
Next to him, Shen Mo looked even more odd, finding it strange that this mythical Crown Prince blushed at the sight of Mu Qingyi and Pang Yue, two great beauties!!!!
My heavens, the thought that this youthful figure in front of him was that mysterious and powerful youth who had ranked above him for so many years made Shen Mo feel an urge to bash his head in!
Couldnāt he have a bit more of the demeanor fitting of a super strong one and the charisma befitting the Crown Prince who attracts countless followers?
āOkay, Iāll be the one to speak. I thought that when Chu Fangchen met Chao Lengcuan, there would surely be sparks flying, and theyād have to compete as to who is the number one person for Soul Hall. But I really thought too much,ā Shen Mo was clearly struck, cutting off the shy scholar who was politely greeting everyone.
Caught off guard, the scholar hurriedly said modestly, āChu Fangchen genuinely defeated Xiong Mo Moling. I, Chao Lengcuan, have no achievements to speak of; itās all just empty talk. I should be the one to step down and yield the positionā¦ā
Chu Mu watched the excessively polite person in front of him with a wry smile, at a loss for words for a moment. From the Crown Princeās eyes, it was evident that this guy wasnāt pretending to be polite, but was genuinely very ācourteous.ā
Shen Mo felt his chest getting stuffy, indicating he didnāt want to speak anymore. The Nightmare Demon Palace Crown Prince had his heart completely broken today.
āCrown Prince Chao, Iāve long admired your name. Having met you today, I never expected you to be so shy and adorableā¦ā Pang Yue laughed softly, finding the mysterious Crown Prince of Soul Hall to be quite interesting.
āHehe, I guess some things never change. The elders really donāt like me attending public events, afraid Iāll ruin the image theyāve built for me,ā Chao Lengchuan said with an awkward smile, scratching his head and actually unable to meet Pang Yueās seductive eyes.
Everyone laughed after hearing this, it seemed that the Crown Princeās mysterious reputation was indeed not unfoundedā¦
Chu Mu now understood why Teng Lang had always told them to be mentally prepared. Speaking of which, Chao Lengchuanās personality was truly astonishing, not at all what one would expect from an expert.
In fact, if a person immersed themselves in cultivation from a young age, lived a life isolated from the world, and harbored a fanaticism and utter obsession with cultivation, it was quite normal to display such behavior.
Presumably, after the Crown Princeās strength became outstanding, the Soul Hall realized with a headache that the prince was too inexperienced socially. No wonder Tu Zun Ke Yin specifically told Chu Mu that day to take special care of the Crown Prince. Initially, Chu Mu thought it meant they should look after each other, but now it appeared that Tu Zun Ke Yinās words had a different surface meaning.
āI myself have never truly ventured into the demonic realm, so you all had better bring everything you can think of for emergencies. As for its level of danger, thereās no need for me to elaborate further. Since itās guarded by the Fox Lei Jun, the Absolver of the Dominator level, that place is a real forbidden zone for humans,ā Mu Qingyi said earnestly to everyone.
Mu Qingyi could see that the Three Great Palaces intended for her to lead these younger members, to grant them more opportunities. Since the Three Great Palaces had given her a great favor, Mu Qingyi naturally wouldnāt decline, besides, she also felt that it would indeed be safer for the six of them to venture into the demonic realm together.
After Mu Qingyi mentioned some details and others provided additional information, everyone dispersed to prepare for tomorrowās early departure to the demonic realm.
ā¦
After returning to his room, Chu Mu began meditating, as usual.
Having recently stepped into the realm of Eight Thoughts, his Soul Sense was still somewhat unstable and in need of consolidation.
It was around midnight when Chu Mu, who was meditating, suddenly felt the window being pushed open.
Through his perception, Chu Mu noticed a petite dark shadow crawl in through the window, carefully shutting the door, and then quickly burrowing into Chu Muās bed, curling up next to him.
Chu Mu opened his eyes to see the girl who had snuggled up to him like a frightened kittenā¦
āHad another nightmare?ā Chu Mu still sat there, looking at Ning Manāer who had wrapped herself up tightly, and asked softly.
āNo,ā the little maid asserted defiantly.
āNo? Then why arenāt you sleeping in your own room?ā Chu Mu asked.
āItās cold sleeping alone,ā Ning Manāer said from within the covers.
Chu Mu smiled wryly, āYou need to overcome this kind of mindset. Iāll be leaving tomorrow, and it might be for a very long time.ā
āThen no one will take care of me,ā Ning Manāerās voice grew softer.
Chu Mu knew the little maid was still being stubborn.
āYou have to understand, I canāt always be by your side. In the future, you might find yourself in a strange place, without me, without your Sister Yeā¦ā Chu Mu said slowly.
As he spoke, Chu Mu heard sobbing from beneath the blanket and her murmured response, āMean brother, donāt say anymoreā¦ā
Chu Mu sighed, hearing her crying, he didnāt dare to continue, and could only say, āOne day, youāll have to learn to be independent.ā
After what seemed like a long time, Ning Manāer finally showed her tear-stained little face and said softly, āBrother, I will learn to be independent.ā
Chu Mu smiled faintly and wiped her face with his sleeve.
Chu Mu didnāt know the hardships the little maid had faced in the dark side of the Revival World, but he could feel that her fragile shoulders bore a weight far too heavy for her age, a burden she was unable to shoulderā¦
