Chapter 1324 1188 Divine Sect Dark Sect the Struggle

Chapter 1324: Chapter 1188: Divine Sect, Dark Sect, the Struggle of Dominator Demon Spirit Chapter 1324: Chapter 1188: Divine Sect, Dark Sect, the Struggle of Dominator Demon Spirit “Chu Mu, are you alright? I just saw a flash of skills in that direction,” Mu Qingyi said to Chu Mu with some concern when she saw him returning.

“I’m fine, actually very well,” Chu Mu laughed, raising his eyebrows as he spoke to Mu Qingyi, “Didn’t you notice anything different about me?”

Chu Mu began to show off.

A while ago, Chu Mu was very anxious because he realized that others would soon reach the Soul Master Grade, while he would have a hard time. Fortunately, his breakthrough this time wasn’t too late.

“Did you get hurt?” Mu Qingyi looked carefully at Chu Mu.

Chu Mu shook his head, his mood very good at the moment, taking the opportunity to tease Mu Qingyi, “Why don’t you use your Soul Sense to see.”

“Oh.” Mu Qingyi used her Soul Sense and soon found that her Soul Sense met resistance and couldn’t completely view Chu Mu’s spirit.

Mu Qingyi stopped snooping, looking somewhat dazed at Chu Mu, “Your… your Soul Sense.”

Chu Mu grinned wide and laughed.

…

At the Mountain Courtyard, Uncle Bai Yu didn’t return until late at night; he must have been trying his best to figure out how to rescue that Home-seeking Demon Spirit.

Ye Wansheng and Morning Crown Prince also came back late at night. These two mysteriously disappeared, much to the disdain of Ye Qingzi and Ghost Princess, especially Ghost Jinrou who, possessing Mind Reading Technique, knew where they had been enjoying themselves as soon as they stepped in.

Ye Wansheng, thick-skinned, didn’t mind while Morning Crown Prince was extremely embarrassed.

Following these two, Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi also returned.

Ghost Jinrou, with the strongest sensing ability, stared at Chu Mu with those clear, beautiful eyes, appearing somewhat astonished.

The others were also looking at Chu Mu, not because they noticed anything specific, but because they felt that Chu Mu was very proud today.

“Chu Mu, have you entered the Soul Master Grade?” Ghost Jinrou was the first to speak up.

Chu Mu smiled and nodded, “Yeah.”

Ye Wansheng and Morning Crown Prince both widened their eyes, staring intently at Chu Mu.

“What a joke, you were accompanying Goddess Mu for the assessment, how did you manage to promote yourself? Did you two cultivate together or something!” Ye Wansheng shouted out.

Mu Qingyi cast a cold glance at Ye Wansheng, and Ye Wansheng promptly shut his mouth.

Seeing everyone so astonished, Chu Mu knew he had achieved the effect he wanted and proceeded to explain to everyone about Yu Suo’s strength enhancement and the situation during the second escape.

Chu Mu had been letting Yu Suo enhance her strength all along, simply because he wanted to use Yu Suo’s growth to boost his own Soul Sense since Yu Suo and the Good and Evil Flower King were both his Soul Pets, and a Soul Pet Master’s spiritual enhancement could only rely on Soul Sense.

Once the Good and Evil Queen’s strength increased a notch, Chu Mu immediately felt a surge rushing toward his spirit. Chu Mu used this force to start forcibly breaking through the barriers!

Most of Chu Mu’s Soul Pets were already at the Dominator level, and getting promoted without the aid of some Xuan objects was still very possible.

“Did they catch the Good and Evil Queen, that woman was about to flee…” the Morning Crown Prince said.

“She is reflecting on her mistakes amidst the flames,” Chu Mu said.

Chu Mu would not let Yu Suo escape. Even if she did, Chu Mu could catch her once, he could capture her again.

…

The next day, Xu Daofeng came to congratulate Mu Qingyi for passing the examination and officially becoming an apprentice of the Divine Sect.

“This examination only tests strength and is far from sufficient for our membership. Fortunately, Teacher Lu has a good impression of Miss Mu, coupled with Chu Mu’s help in eliminating several members of the Dark Sect, Teacher Lu directly accepted Miss Mu as an apprentice of the Divine Sect, just like me, directly following Teacher Lu. From now on, Miss Mu will be my junior sister, haha,” Xu Daofeng said excitedly.

Mu Qingyi nodded. In fact, Teacher Lu gave Mu Qingyi a very favorable impression, which could be seen from her attire.

From the respect Xu Daofeng commanded among those people, it was clear that the identity of Divine Sect’s Lu Yuqin was exceptionally high. If she were to directly take lessons from her, on one hand, her strength would increase rapidly, and her status would certainly differ from that of ordinary sect members.

“What Teacher Lu values most is character. As for strength, as long as the talent is not too poor, following Teacher Lu will definitely make one outstanding,” Xu Daofeng said.

“Then, ask your Teacher Lu if she is still taking apprentices, a beautiful teacher… tsk tsk,” Ye Wansheng interjected.

“Teacher Lu does not like those who lack propriety,” Xu Daofeng said.

Xu Daofeng looked around and not seeing Chu Mu, asked, “Where is Chu Mu? I haven’t seen him. Speaking of which, Chu Mu is really keeping a low profile. He even killed people from the Dark Sect, and he killed several by himself. I could handle at most two or three.”

“Chu Mu is a cultivation maniac. He and Uncle Bai Yu have already gone to Wen Mountain for training,” the Morning Crown Prince said.

The Morning Crown Prince realized he had also become somewhat indulgent and playfully planned to head to Wen Mountain for training in a few days.

Cloud City is located in the mountains, and amidst the great mountains, many Mysterious Realms are worth exploring. The Morning Crown Prince did not want to delay his own cultivation.

“I see. Then Miss Mu, come with me. The teacher mentioned she wants to meet you…” Xu Daofeng said.

Mu Qingyi nodded and followed Xu Daofeng to the Divine Sect Mansion.

…

The day of the Demon Spirit Auction was approaching. Previously, Uncle Bai Yu tried various methods to save the Home-seeking Demon Spirit. However, Wan Meng was unusually cautious this time, not giving anyone a chance to break in. Thus, left with no choice, Chu Mu and Bai Yu could only adopt the simplest method to claim the Home-Seeker.

The so-called simplest method was to buy directly. Six members of the Dark Sect each had a bounty price, which had endowed Chu Mu with 2000 Xuan, a windfall for sure.

Chu Mu estimated the price of the Demon Spirit would be raised to around 3000 Xuan, so Chu Mu and Bai Yu took on some highly-paid bounties nearby and entered the depths of Wen Mountain. On one hand, they endured rigorous training to boost their strength, and on the other hand, they gathered the remaining 1000 Xuan.

Xuan was not something found everywhere. Even if one was strong, without channels, ultimately no Xuan could be obtained, and information related to Xuan largely depended on one’s strength. Like Chu Mu and Bai Yu, despite spending a lot of energy traversing a large part of the Mysterious Realm, they ended up with only one or two Xuan-quality items. This was a fortune for a Soul Emperor but trivial to them.

Fortunately, the merchant Wan Meng, to intentionally prolong the effect, pushed the auction time further back, which gave the two of them enough time to collect Xuan.

…

The day of the auction finally arrived.

The auction this time was rather grand; after all, every Monarch Level Demon Spirit was equivalent to a First Level Xuan Object, capable of forging a Dominator. Furthermore, the value of an Emperor Level Demon Spirit was extremely close to that of an Intermediate Lord.

Throughout the Cloud Realm, there were not many who possessed an Intermediate Lord Level.

“Chief Officer Lu, you… you are here too, this truly adds luster to my auction, adds luster indeed.” Wan Meng was all smiles and visibly extra excited.

For a merchant like Wan Meng, normally meeting middle-tier officers of the Divine Sect was already a grand affair, let alone having a high-ranking official like Chief Officer Lu show up this time!

Lu Yuqin gave Wan Meng a lukewarm glance but was too indifferent to talk to the merchant.

Fearing to show any disrespect, Wan Meng personally led Lu Yuqin closer to the trading place.

Following that, Wan Meng also saw Xu Daofeng and Mu Qingyi, who were following close by Lu Yuqin.

Wan Meng naturally recognized Xu Daofeng, a famous young expert of the great realm whose strength surpassed both Li ZuoTeng and Mu Zheng. Most importantly, he was a direct disciple of Lu Yuqin, far more potent than ordinary members of the Divine Sect.

However, when Wan Meng saw Mu Qingyi, his smile suddenly froze, his face rich in expression.

“It’s… it’s Miss Mu.” Wan Meng gave a dry laugh, even as cold sweat slid down his back.

Mu Qingyi didn’t bother to look him either and walked into the auction place.

Wan Meng watched Mu Qingyi’s receding figure with a frozen smile while cold sweat reached his forehead.

Thinking of his attempt to harass Lu Yuqin’s disciple back in Wen City made Wan Meng want to slap himself. Fortunately, he had been shrewd enough to apologize at the time, otherwise, he would have met a terrible end.

“What if she speaks against me to Chief Officer Lu? Then my business will…” Knowing that Lu Yuqin detested unrighteous characters the most, Wan Meng bit the bullet.

Determined to retain his position, Wan Meng decided to quietly offer a significant gift to Mu Qingyi. Otherwise, one day he might suddenly find himself expelled from the Divine Sect.

“Do we have any Wing system Xuan Object in our storage?” Wan Meng summoned a subordinate, asking.

“No, but we have plenty of Xuan quality of the Winged System.”

“Xuan quality will do. Find an opportunity to give it to Miss Mu, understood?”

Recently, Mu Qingyi had been in search of Xuan quality, but due to lack of funds, she couldn’t afford it. She would never expect that this plump merchant would actually take the initiative to send it to her.

After instructing his subordinate, Wan Meng quickly followed into the lounge where Lu Yuqin had gone.

The entire auction was set up in a gyroscope shape, with bid seats near the auction stage, while the walls had square aristocratic booths. Separated by a door from the lounge, these booths facilitated direct bidding by some individuals of high status and position.

“Chief Officer Lu, having you here, that Dominator Level Demon Spirit surely won’t escape this time.” Wan Meng entered the lounge and respectfully performed a ritual greeting.

“The lives of the 27 hunters from Wen City will be noted in your list of transgressions, and I hope you manage to make up for it.” Lu Yuqin said coolly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyi’s heart tightened.

“Could it be that Lu Yuqin came for the Dominator Demon Spirit?” Mu Qingyi thought to herself.

Lu Yuqin’s strength was frightful, something Mu Qingyi firmly believed. If Lu Yuqin were to come commanding a Dominator Demon Spirit, she surely wouldn’t let the Home-seeking Demon Spirit fall into others’ hands easily, for this Home-seeker was the only leverage against a Dominator Demon Spirit.

“This is somewhat troublesome, I must inform the others as soon as possible.”

Mu Qingyi was a bit anxious; it seemed she couldn’t leave either.

“Do you have a way to make the Dominator Demon Spirit appear?” Lu Yuqin asked.

“This, I don’t know either, I only know that among that batch of Demon Spirits, there is one that is the Home-seeker, but I can’t be sure which one it is. Thus, I can only auction them off, let all those who captured Demon Spirits bring them out for auction, gather them all in my hands first, then when I store them, I set a soul imprint on each Demon Spirit. Once a Dominator with the ‘Light Web’ brand appears, the imprint on that Home-seeker will be transferred onto it, allowing us to easily track it.”

Lu Yuqin frowned slightly, seeming to think this method was somewhat improper.

But considering the Dominator Demon Spirit was critical for saving lives, she could only nod her head and tacitly approve of this method.

Mu Qingyi had heard everything and thought to herself, so this fat man still doesn’t know which one is the Home-seeker, and he only bought a part of the Demon Spirits; probably, a large part is still in others’ hands. This guy is just gambling, betting that the Demon Spirits being auctioned include the Home-seeker.

…

In the regular seats, Morning Crown Prince, Ye Qingzi, Ye Wansheng, Chu Mu, and Uncle Bai Yu were all waiting there.

Chu Mu and Uncle Bai Yu had just returned yesterday. They had tried their best to find Xuan, and also had Master Li, an expert in searching for Xuan, but in the end, they only brought back items worth 500 Xuan, far from enough.

Xuan truly wasn’t so easy to find; this time, Bai Yu and Chu Mu once again confirmed the rarity of Xuan, even the combination of their strengths was to no avail.

Now, they could only take it step by step, hoping that the price would be suppressed to 2500 Xuan.

“That guy looks a bit familiar,” Chu Mu glanced at a young man in the VIP loft and said.

“Isn’t that Li ZuoTeng?” Ye Wansheng said.

It seemed that there was no one in Cloud City who didn’t know Li ZuoTeng, one of the young experts from the Li Xu lineage. Ye Wansheng had encountered him once; at that time, many girls were screaming, and Ye Wansheng wondered how such an ugly fellow could fascinate young girls.

“Oh, I remember now.” Chu Mu felt vaguely familiar; at that moment, Little Mo Xie approached Chu Mu’s ear and murmured a few words.

Chu Mu nodded and said to himself, “So that’s the case, the person in the mask beside him could possibly be Sect leader Wan Zhong of the Dark Sect.”

In the VIP loft, Li ZuoTeng’s palms were sweaty, his eyes darting now and then towards Lu Yuqin seated not far away.

That night, Wan Zhong, Li ZuoTeng, and the others were almost caught up by Lu Yuqin. Fortunately, Sect leader Wan Zhong’s Dark Attribute creature provided a hidden space for everyone and sacrificed a member to distract Lu Yuqin, otherwise, they would have been in serious trouble.

Thinking of this woman’s fearsomeness, Li ZuoTeng still felt a shiver despite the current proximity.

“Sect leader, I heard that the Dominator Level Demon Spirits have been seized by a group of masked people,” Li ZuoTeng said.

“Demon Spirits are not bound by most powers; in this world, only the Divine Sect can trap a Demon Spirit. Thus, even if those masked people captured a temporarily weak Demon Spirit, it will be impossible to stop the Demon Spirit from leaving once it has fully recovered. I think Wan Meng, that fat pig, purposefully delayed the auction this long just to give the Dominator Level Demon Spirit ample time to recover and reach Cloud City again, so it could be trapped once more. The Home-seeker needs to exist for the Demon Spirits to survive. Even if the Dominator Level Demon Spirit does not appear, the entire Demon Spirit Clan will certainly do everything to get it back; thus, controlling the Home-seeker essentially means controlling all Demon Spirits,” Sect leader Wan Zhong said.
