Chapter 1605: Chapter 1465: Jiao People Awaken?

In the afternoon, the sun was bright, and Chu Mu, as usual, leaned back in the courtyard reading a book.

Mo Ye stared with round eyes; it seemed to also understand the text, keeping pace with Chu Mu as they read.

Zhan Ye lay beside him, squinting his eyes and basking in the sun.

Its armor had already turned black, no matter how much it basked, it flashed with a dark luster.

On Zhan Ye’s head was a chubby deep blue dragon, which looked very lovable.

This was Little Martial Cloud Dragon. After returning to New Moon Land, Chu Mu brought both Martial Cloud Dragon and Martial Cloud Dragon Baby back to New Moon Land.

Martial Cloud Dragon also quite liked Wanxiang City; Chu Mu built a Dragon Cave for the Martial Cloud Dragon at the highest point of Wanxiang Altar. It served both to let Martial Cloud Dragon help guard Wanxiang City and to watch over the Seal Tower.

The Seal Tower was now the source of Xuan Energy for the entire Wanxiang City, essentially supporting the city’s energy, so having the powerful Martial Cloud Dragon guard the Seal Tower was the safest arrangement.

Martial Cloud Dragon Baby very much liked Mo Ye because it could always beg for treats from Mo Ye.

And those Demon Foxes brought out from Yin Valley were released by Chu Mu into the woods outside Wanxiang City.

Although these Demon Foxes had a low Species Ranking, because they lived in the special environment of Yin Valley, their actual Combat Power was stronger than other creatures of the same Species Ranking. Thus, teenagers who went to the woods for training could gain an advantage among their peers if they encountered and signed a soul contract with these Demon Foxes.

“Chu Mu, Chu Mu!”

From outside the courtyard, someone was heard shouting.

There were Holy Guards outside the courtyard; entry wasn’t permitted without notification.

However, the visitor was clearly someone familiar, so the Holy Guard let him in without stopping him.

“Teng Lang, what’s wrong?” Chu Mu glanced at the flustered Teng Lang.

“How can you still be sitting here? Don’t you know something big has happened?” Teng Lang said anxiously.

“What big thing?” Chu Mu asked, puzzled.

“Snow City, a massive disturbance has occurred around Snow City; many cities were destroyed overnight!” Teng Lang said.

Teng Lang himself came from Snow City and had a special attachment to it. This major incident in Snow City had almost driven him to despair.

“Don’t panic, speak slowly, what exactly happened?” Chu Mu said.

“I…I don’t know either. That area has already been sealed off by my father’s army. Many, many people have died. It seems like a disaster, or as if some creature has awakened…” Teng Lang explained.

“Elder Teng couldn’t resolve it?” Chu Mu slightly furrowed his brows.

Disasters frequently occurred in New Moon Land, and most of them were resolved by the New Moon Palace’s personnel; such matters wouldn’t require Chu Mu’s intervention.

On the one hand, the strength of New Moon Land had gradually increased so those disasters could no longer pose a threat to New Moon Land; on the other hand, Chu Mu was just one person and couldn’t possibly manage every single disaster in New Moon Land, especially now when there were tens of thousands of cities above the Boundary City level.

“If they could handle it, they wouldn’t need to find you. Apparently, a very strong monster has escaped from the Qiankun Ice Gate. I don’t know what that creature is; it can control all the creatures in the land of ice and snow, even enhancing their strength. Our military presence in the region of Snow City isn’t strong; with over seventy cities in the icy lands, we simply can’t manage all, Mu Qingyi has already taken her subordinates and female disciples there, but Mu Qingyi alone might not be able to handle it,” Teng Lang explained.

“Qiankun Ice Gate…” Chu Mu vaguely felt something was not right.

“Let’s go and see,” Chu Mu said, somewhat worried.

Chu Mu had nothing else at the moment, and the journey to Snow City wouldn’t take too much time.

Immediately, Chu Mu recited the spell, withdrew Zhan Ye into the Soul Pet Space, and summoned Ye.

He mounted Ye’s back, called out to Ye Qingzi, and controlled Ye, transforming into a dark meteor that momentarily flew out of Wanxiang City toward the direction of Snow City.

…

Mountain ranges, forests, and rivers were quickly left behind by Chu Mu; Ye was now very close to the Low-grade Immortal Level, and going back and forth from New Moon Land didn’t even take half a day.

Leaving in the afternoon, Chu Mu arrived in Snow City before the sun had set.

The ground around Snow City was covered with thick white snow; many people hustled back and forth on the cleared pathways, including the New Moon Palace’s Army and some spontaneously organized groups, all moving hurriedly.

Chu Mu flew directly into the middle of Snow City and landed in Snow City Palace.

Entering the grand hall of Snow City Palace, Chu Mu walked in along the white carpet and saw a familiar beautiful figure.

The person standing in the palace hall was Mu Qingyi. Remembering the stolen kiss from Mu Qingyi on the wedding day, Chu Mu momentarily did not know how to respond.

Mu Qingyi also noticed Chu Mu. She appeared somewhat evasive and flustered as she spoke, “Why have you come?”

“Teng Lang said the situation here is quite severe,” explained Chu Mu.

Mu Qingyi had arrived before Chu Mu, and she had a deeper understanding of the situation here. She then told Chu Mu about the events that had occurred around Snow City.

“Starting from Ice City at the northernmost end, continuing down to Changqin City, 100 kilometers away from Snow City, every city has suffered some damage. Each city has witnessed tens of thousands of deaths, amounting to probably over a million people who have perished in this ice and snow turmoil.”

“Moreover, Ice City, originally a Level Eight Boundary City, has nearly a million people. Now, the entire city is surrounded by monsters. Our army cannot break through. If we delay for another two or three days, the whole city will be demolished,” said Mu Qingyi.

Chu Mu was shocked. Ice City was also a well-known city in the New Moon Land, possessing substantial army forces and a significant number of Soul Pet Masters, along with nearly a million civilians. Yet, such a city was also facing the crisis of being destroyed.

“Why has such a big issue not been reported to me?” Chu Mu asked.

Related to a Level Eight Boundary City, a crisis spanning an entire Earth Realm, Chu Mu couldn’t understand why it had taken so long for him to be informed. If he had received the news earlier, he could have dealt with it in a round trip, preventing over seventy cities from falling into such a crisis.

“They have been besieged; it’s very hard for the news to get out, and moreover, the uprising erupted so swiftly that our army didn’t even have time to react,” said Elder Teng.

“Chu Mu, let’s go to Ice City,” Mu Qingyi expressed her worries about the safety of the people in Ice City.

Mu Qingyi had a few Divine Sect Members under her command, who she had dispatched to other cities that were severely affected.

Her seven powerful female disciples from the Heavenly Maiden Palace were also responsible for those cities, but she clearly did not have enough manpower, requiring support from the New Moon Palace as well.

The army’s marching speed would definitely be slow, and while the mobility of the Immortal Level Powerhouses was strong, they also had their responsibilities and couldn’t immediately draw all the Immortal Level Powerhouses from New Moon Land.

“Okay,” Chu Mu nodded, then looked at Elder Teng and instructed, “Elder, arrange for some experts from World City and Spirit City to be dispatched here, ensuring that each city has 20 Dominator-level and 500 Emperor-level individuals stationed.”

“King Chu, isn’t this deployment a bit too large?” Elder Teng inquired.

The order meant dispatching over 1400 Dominator-level powerhouses and more than 35,000 Emperor-level powerhouses across over seventy cities!

This was a vast force. Although New Moon Land was small, it had never sent out such a large military force all at once.

“It’s better to be prepared, and besides, this matter might not be so simple,” Chu Mu said seriously.

“Yes,” Elder Teng also felt this foreboding, as everything had sprung up suddenly and fiercely.

Seeing Elder Teng about to give orders, Chu Mu felt it wasn’t enough and took out a token from his space ring and handed it to Elder Teng, “Have the New Moon Navy dispatch a team here.”

“The New Moon Navy?” Elder Teng was stunned.

The New Moon Navy was the strongest army in the entire New Moon Land other than the King’s Holy Guard, with average strength of the members reaching Intermediate Master level!

A force whose average strength was Intermediate Master level was something only the major powers in Struggle Land could muster!

Chu Mu had already deployed 1400 Dominators and 35,000 Emperors, and now even the New Moon Navy was to be mobilized?

“Yeah, their support speed will be much faster,” Chu Mu stated.

“This… The navy is stabilizing Henghai; wouldn’t deploying them cause any lapses there?” Elder Teng spoke.

“No, Henghai is essentially managed by the Wupan Navy,” Chu Mu replied.

Elder Teng had no further objections and adhered to Chu Mu’s command. With the intervention of the New Moon Navy, this turmoil could likely be quickly quelled.

Elder Teng, responsible for this region, wouldn’t want to witness the devastation of life.

After Elder Teng left, Mu Qingyi looked at Chu Mu and asked, “Have you sensed something?”

Chu Mu nodded and said, “Remember the Ice Palace beneath the Qiankun Ice Gate?”

“I remember,” Mu Qingyi recalled the passionate kiss with Chu Mu within the Qiankun Ice Gate and momentarily dared not meet Chu Mu’s eyes.

“The Wind Cave had two passages, one leading to the Ice Palace, and the other we haven’t entered, which leads to the Wind Palace, I’ve been there once,” said Chu Mu.

“Is it the place of that Ancient Jiao Person you mentioned?” Mu Qingyi asked.

“Yes, this Ice and Snow Land is very close to the Wind Palace; it’s possible that the Ancient Jiao Person is awakening,” Chu Mu said, frowning.

“Ancient Jiao Person… Can we deal with it?” Mu Qingyi asked worriedly.

Chu Mu shook his head; if it really was the Ancient Jiao Person awakening, he likely had no means to counter such an ancient being.

Being known as the Son of Henghai, their powers were boundless, and the entire New Moon Land would enter its darkest period.

For now, Chu Mu could only hope that this incident was not related to the awakening of the Ancient Jiao Person, otherwise their current strength was no match against such an ancient force. (.)
