Chapter 740: Chapter 610: The Luoyu Gate with Ulterior Motives
Sitting in the hall, the first to arrive was Grandpa Chu Ming. When Chu Mu saw his grandfather, he was relieved but also felt a bit bitter. After all, the old man was growing weaker and weaker, and it was unknown how many more years he could hold on to. If another disaster were to disturb him, a careless moment might send him to the other side.
The lifespan of humans could only be increased through their own cultivation. Generally, it was only possible to increase one’s lifespan once they reached the Soul Emperor level. Therefore, Chu Mu was powerless to do anything about Chu Ming’s growing decrepitness.
The old man was weak and overly excited, so after just a few words, he grew tired, and Chu Mu had someone help Chu Ming go to rest.
“My body is getting worse and worse… During the banquet… You talk to your uncles first… Recently, the family has been in a troubled time…” Chu Ming coughed a few times, leaving with some reluctance.
Chu Mu nodded, then helped the old man walk a bit before returning to the hall.
When Chu Mu returned to the hall, Chu Tianheng and Chu Tianlin had already appeared and were even more excited when they saw Chu Mu.
Chu Mu exchanged polite greetings, and the two uncles asked many questions. Chu Mu answered them one by one without concealing anything.
“So it seems that your strength has greatly increased. It looks like we can alleviate some of the burden during this disaster tide.” Chu Tianheng said.
Back then, Chu Mu’s strength was already very close to Chu Tianheng’s level. Now, with so many years gone by and given Chu Mu’s abilities, he was undoubtedly the strongest person in the entire family. As long as the Great Chu Noble Family and Luoyu Gate both had experts to support them, they might be able to fend off this disaster tide.
“I will root out this disaster. Don’t worry, First Uncle and Second Uncle.” Chu Mu said seriously.
“To root it out, it’s easier said than done…” Chu Tianheng shook his head helplessly.
Root it out? Chu Tianheng had been here for so many years and had long understood how frightening the source of the disaster tide was. Unless the Western Realm Master led the experts from all the major territories in the West, there was no way to eradicate this disaster tide.
As for the Western Realm Master and the other territory masters, their own territories were quite safe, so how could they possibly mobilize just for the one Seven Color City?
Chu Tianheng and Chu Tianlin both believed that Chu Mu’s strength was definitely very strong now, possibly to the extent they could not predict. However, facing a disaster tide that required the entire Earth Realm’s experts to only stand a chance of eliminating, how could they believe that Chu Mu could do it by himself?
Just as Chu Mu was about to speak, a unique scent of rosemary wafted toward them, and before Chu Mu could savor it, there was a energetic, alluring woman standing right in front of him.
“Haha, you really came back. I thought you had long forgotten this little family.” Chu Ying slapped Chu Mu on the shoulder and spoke casually.
Chu Mu recognized Chu Ying and understood her personality. He just nodded gently without saying anything.
“Why does it feel like you’re even more elegant than before? Back then, you were cold as ice, like an assassin.” Chu Ying immediately asked.
Elegance?
That word was somewhat far-fetched when applied to Chu Mu. Chu Mu was simply more restrained, no longer as expressionless as he used to be.
“No manners, not like a girl at all! Sit down and don’t speak unless spoken to!” Chu Tianheng glared at Chu Ying.
Chu Ying looked unwilling but dared not defy Chu Tianheng. She obediently sat down, staring at Chu Mu with her bright eyes. Even if she didn’t say anything, Chu Mu knew she wanted to ask about the current strength of his Soul Pets.
Chu Tianheng knew that it wasn’t appropriate to start talking about the disaster tide right away after Chu Mu had rushed back such a long distance, so he asked the housekeeper to take Chu Mu to a clean room and let him rest first. They would continue their discussions during the banquet.
Chu Mu didn’t need much rest. After arriving at his room, he released the mischievous Little Thunder Dragon.
Two months had passed, during which one month was spent in battle. Now, the Little Thunder Dragon had grown to the Second Rank Fourth Stage, and its strength was somewhat close to that of a low-grade War General.
Taking advantage of the free time, Chu Mu took the Little Thunder Dragon to the courtyard to practice some boxing moves.
“Sha sha sha~~~~~~~~”
The Little Thunder Dragon also liked to exercise. Upon seeing a large rock in the courtyard, the green figure suddenly flashed, and its claws condensed with a green light!
The green light represented the Dragon Power. The strength it could unleash was much greater than its own!
“Bang!!!!!!!”
The human-sized rock was directly smashed into pieces by the Little Thunder Dragon, scattering all around.
“With the Dragon Power effect, its strength has reached the level of a low-grade War General. Once it gains the Emperor Power, its strength should increase again.”Seeing the Little Thunder Dragon already this powerful at the Second Rank, Chu Mu was impressed and estimated that it wouldn’t take too long for the Little Thunder Dragon to be ready to fight in the Western Region.
“Ly~~~Ly~~~~~~”
As Chu Mu was training the Little Thunder Dragon, the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s melodious bell-like voice echoed in Chu Mu’s mind.
Ning woke up!
Chu Mu was overjoyed and hurriedly recited the spell, summoning the Ice-Feathered Spirit in front of him.
The Ice-Feathered Spirit’s strength could only be described as skyrocketing. When Chu Mu summoned it, the entire courtyard was almost frozen. If Chu Mu hadn’t promptly stopped the Ice-Feathered Spirit from releasing its breath, the entire Chu Family Mansion would have been frozen.
“Ninth Rank High Stage Peak Monarch!” Chu Mu was ecstatic. It seemed that the Earth Immortal Ice had indeed brought great benefits to the Ice-Feathered Spirit. Not only had it advanced to the Peak Monarch Level, but it had also grown and metamorphosed to the Ninth Rank High Stage. The increase in strength was more than just a few levels!
A Ninth Rank High Stage Peak Monarch’s strength was equivalent to that of a Tenth Rank High-Level Monarch. And advancing from the Ninth Rank High Stage to the Tenth Rank was not a difficult task.
“The scale of this disaster tide should be quite large. In a few days, it will be up to you to show your skills.” Chu Mu gently stroked the Ice-Feathered Spirit and said with a smile.
Chu Mu’s Wind-binding Spirit specialized in elemental group attacks, but the damage power of wind-type is ultimately incomparable to that of ice-type. The Ice-Feathered Spirit would undoubtedly play the main role.
“Chirr~~~~~~” The Ice-Feathered Spirit laughed innocently, eagerly showing Chu Mu its new strength.
…
At the banquet, Xiao Yun and Sun Yuan also appeared. As for the other people, Chu Mu knew most of them. They were all his own people.
Chu Tianheng first said some words to welcome Chu Mu, then everyone else followed suit, knowing Chu Mu’s position in the Chu Family.
As for Miss Xiaoyun and Sun Yuan, they both found it strange why the Chu Family would treat a member of the younger generation so cautiously. Even they, as distinguished guests, didn’t receive such treatment.
Although it was a dinner party, the imminent disaster tide was the main topic of conversation.
“What level is this disaster tide? Is there any accurate information?” Chu Mu knew the top priority was to deal with this matter and asked.
“It’s estimated to be a ninth-level disaster tide. In about three days, an army of Servant-Level Soul Pet Groups will be driven here by those powerful soul pets. As time goes on, even stronger soul pets will appear.” Chu Tianheng said.
Upon hearing that it was a ninth-level disaster tide, Miss Xiaoyun’s expression changed, and she said, “A ninth-level disaster tide means the destruction of a ninth-level city. Wasn’t it said to be only eighth-level a while ago?”
Chu Tianheng smiled bitterly and said, “The ninth level is probably a conservative estimate, Miss Xiao Yun. Your timing is really not right.”
“Around the tenth day, the real disaster tide will appear.”
“Since we’ve decided to stay, we need to defend the east, west, and south. The south will be the most ferocious attack, and our own clan members will be responsible for it. Experts from the Luo region will arrive, supposedly all at the Soul Lord level, and they should arrive tomorrow to help us guard the west. The east will be the responsibility of the soul pet masters we hired and the help from the Great Chu Noble Family…” Chu Tianlin began allocating tasks.
How to defend the city had been arranged before, but with the increase in disaster levels and the addition of personnel, the situation naturally needed to change.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After finishing, Chu Tianlin specifically glanced at Chu Mu and asked, “Chu Mu, do you have any thoughts?”
“Why are people from Luoyu Gate willing to help?” Chu Mu asked curiously.
“About that, your Fifth Uncle is acquainted with some people from Luoyu Gate. However, it’s quite strange this time. The people your Fifth Uncle knows actually don’t have high positions in Luoyu Gate, but this time, a few famous experts have come to help. If it weren’t for that, we wouldn’t dare stay in Seven Color City,” Chu Tianlin said.
“So… it’s good to have help…” Chu Mu said with hidden meaning.
“Do you have any thoughts, or should we proceed with this method to defend against the disaster tide?” Chu Tianheng asked.
Now, the Chu Family members all acknowledged Chu Mu as the strongest, so they naturally wanted to hear Chu Mu’s opinion.
Chu Mu shook his head, not having any opinions to express.
Servant-Level Regiments? Just right, Chu Mu’s Little Thunder Dragon needed training, so he would kill as many as he could.
As for the later War General-Level Regiments and Commander-Level Regiments, the Ice-Feathered Spirit, Demon Tree Warrior, and Wind-binding Spirit would take care of them. Chu Mu didn’t feel particularly worried about it.
On the contrary, the appearance of Luoyu Gate made Chu Mu feel uneasy and suspicious.
Logically speaking, the Luoyu Gate’s influence was above the West Region, and they should have many Soul Emperors. The people gathered by Luoyu Gate were mostly those with strong strength or high potential. Chu Mu didn’t understand why the people from Luoyu Gate would be so eager to help the Chu Family.
“Young Master, there’s no need to guess. Either Qin Meng’er sent a message to Luoyu Gate, stating that you, the master of The World Decree, belong to the Chu Family, and Luoyu Gate deliberately extended a friendly olive branch. Or they came for the Spiritual Origin I mentioned. In fact, they come every once in a while to probe and see if there’s a chance to get their hands on it. This time they came to Seven Color City to relieve the siege but also to probe for information and find a breakthrough for the Spiritual Origin. I think the latter possibility is greater.” Master Li said.
