“So, who is this Young Master Chu…” Old Teng inquired subconsciously.
“Young Master is…” Ting Yu was about to reveal Chu Mu’s t.i.tle of Nightmare Demon Palace to show the ignorant people around them how foolish it was to underestimate Chu Mu.
“Ting Yu, don’t say anything else. Let’s get going,” Chu Mu interrupted Ting Yu before she could reveal his ident.i.ty.
Ting Yu opened her mouth but wisely stopped speaking.
Nightmare Demon City wasn’t too far from Luo region, and the influence of the Nightmare Demon Palace was also present in the Luo region. Tian Ji, a young expert of the Nightmare Demon Palace, was also well-known in the Luo region. The reputation of the Prison Island King, who defeated Tian Ji, had already spread far and wide in just one month.
Perhaps people here may not know the name Chu Mu, but the t.i.tles of Prison Island King and Henghai Nightmare Demon Young Master were definitely known to many powerful people.
Miss Qin blinked her eyes, looking at the hesitant Ting Yu and Chu Mu, and felt that the young man in front of her seemed quite mysterious.
Old Teng, the Qin family’s servant, felt that Chu Mu was not simple either.
After all, many people with true ident.i.ties would not reveal their status easily.
The Wind Demon Steed was in front of the carriage, and the Qin family’s servants could clearly feel the surprise. At least, even when galloping at top speed in the city, the city’s guards didn’t dare to stop them.
Manying City was only about a day’s journey away. Chu Mu’s caravan was entering Manying City from another direction, so all Chu Mu had to do was arrive early, follow his own clan’s caravan, and take action when the Yang family tried to make their move.
“Li Nan is very strong; he is a Four Thoughts Soul Master. He possesses a Sixth
Rank Stage 4 Blood Beast and a Fifth Rank Stage 7 Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast. It is said that he also has another Commander-level Soul Pet, but no one has seen him summon it,” the Qin family’s servant Old Teng informed Chu Mu about Yang family’s Li Nan, so Chu Mu could be prepared.
Chu Mu nodded, taking note of the information about Li Nan’s two main pets.
He then learned more about the Chu family’s situation over the past few years.
In the span of four years, the Chu family had experienced a rapid decline under the pressure of the two major families, from covering thirty cities at its peak to now covering only ten cities, with only one Seventh Level City remaining.
Without city territories, their commercial funds would be severely hindered, especially under the suppression of the Yang and Zhou families. The Chu family’s business path is more decadent than before, and often they had to hire other people’s caravans to help transport goods.
Regarding territory, the Chu family used to own a Seventh Level Territory, where they could occasionally capture Commander-level Soul Pets. Now, the highest level territory the Chu family has left is a Sixth Level Territory, which is even less likely to have Commander-level Soul Pets inhabiting it.
For a clan, the most important Soul Pet resource is limited, making development even more difficult.
When Chu Mu and the others entered Manying City, it was getting close to dusk. Soon after the carriage stopped in Manying City, a man riding a Horror Wolf hurriedly appeared in front of Qin Meng’er’s carriage.
“Miss Qin, the Chu family’s caravan plans to travel at night, and they left the city not long ago. I saw Yang Jie and several other Yang family members in Manying City recently. In addition to Li Nan of the Yang family,” the man riding the Horror Wolf immediately reported the information he had learned. “Yang Jie! How did he end up here!” Old Teng’s face changed at the mention of the name Yang Jie.
“Uncle Teng, who is this Yang Jie?” Qin Meng’er asked curiously.
“Yang Jie is a powerful expert dispatched by the Yang family. His strength is much stronger than Li Nan’s. He seems to have a Sixth Rank Commander-level Soul Pet. If he is involved in this matter too, we must give up because even if we join them, we are no match for him!” the servant Old Teng said.
“Where are they now?” Chu Mu did not respond to Old Teng’s advice but directly turned to the man riding the Horror Wolf and asked.
“East of Manying City, follow the main road all the way. The Chu family’s people probably left about two hours ago. It’s getting dark now, so the Yang family will most likely take action when night falls.” The man answered, and after speaking, his gaze deliberately examined Chu Mu’s mount, the Wind Demon Steed, revealing a hint of envy.
“Let’s go.” Chu Mu, without any hesitation, turned his horse and headed straight for the east of Manying City.
Old Teng hesitated for a moment and watched Chu Mu, who rode the Wind Demon Chariot at swift wind and lightning speed, pa.s.s through the streets. He did not expect such boldness from the young man, even after knowing the strength of his opponent, he still decided to move forward.
Seeing Chu Mu and Qin Meng’er hurriedly leave, Qin Meng’er seemed lost in thought for a moment, but then quickly began chanting a summoning spell.
Red light twined around Qin Meng’er’s arm, as she waved her hand, a deep red flaming pattern immediately appeared at her feet. In an instant, sparks flickered, and a wave of heat rushed towards them!
In the red pattern, a winged soul pet whose feathers resembled flames slowly emerged. When its wings opened, streaks of fire spread out, startling the low-level soul pets pulling the carriages into a state of panic.
“Miss, what is this?” Old Teng was taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise as he looked at the Flame Bird Qin Meng’er had summoned.
“You all wait here, I’ll go check.” Qin Meng’er said without further ado. She nimbly jumped onto the huge Flame Bird’s back, riding the low-level commander-level soul pet as it soared upwards, following Chu Mu towards the east of the city.
Old Teng was responsible for protecting Miss Qin completely. As such, he couldn’t let her go alone. He hastily chanted a spell, summoning a Star-swallowing Wolf nearly four meters in size to follow Qin Meng’er closely, fearing even the slightest mishap for her.
The other servants watched as Miss Qin rode away on the Flame Bird, looking at each other helplessly. They reluctantly followed on their slow-moving carriages, but as soon as they turned the street corner, they already lost sight of Qin Meng’er and Old Teng.
On ordinary days, Chu Mu would maintain a certain speed when riding the Wind Demon Horse, so that the steed could conserve its strength for continuous travel. But now, Chu Mu directly commanded the Wind Demon Horse to deploy its full speed. The wind-attribute Wind Demon Horse was no easy adversary. Upon receiving Chu Mu’s permission, it completely unleashed its wild nature. As it galloped down the streets of Manying City, it was like a terrifying hurricane that split pedestrians and soul pets into scattered waves!
“This Wind Demon Horse is so terrifyingly fast.” Qin Meng’er, flying in Manying City’s sky on her Flame Bird, watched the hurricane sweeping towards the city’s outskirts in astonishment.
“Miss, Miss… please come down. If anything happens to you, I can’t bear the responsibility.” Old Teng shouted at Qin Meng’er, who was flying in the sky.
“I’ll just take a look and won’t interfere.” Qin Meng’er replied.
“Miss, you’d better not get involved in this matter. Li Nan is already very difficult to deal with, and Yang Jie is even more ruthless. Young Master Chu can’t possibly be their opponent. We’d better leave here as soon as possible.” Old Teng shouted.
Ignoring Old Teng’s advice, Qin Meng’er continued to follow Chu Mu’s trail, flying her Flame Bird towards the eastern forest of Manying City.
“Young Master, it seems that the caravan is ahead.” Ting Yu pointed to the end of the dark road ahead and said to Chu Mu.
“Yeah, you take care of the Wind Demon Horse.” Chu Mu slowly stood up from the Wind Demon Horse’s back and directly combatted the howling wind while chanting a spell on top of the steed’s back!
Interwoven black and purple arcs of lightning suddenly appeared between Chu Mu’s hands. Merging his hands, he released a purple and black summoning pattern that didn’t imprint on the ground but floated in the sky!
As the pattern inverted, cl.u.s.ters of rampant purple lightning burst forth like a chaotic dance of snakes, magnificently setting off a Dream Beast’s sleek and slender body, so elegant and fascinating!
However, the summoning pattern didn’t remain still. Instead, it moved with the Wind Demon Horse’s progress, and the Night Thunder Dream Beast appeared, as if galloping from the other end of the dark night into this world! With a leap, Chu Mu landed accurately on the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s back, elegantly completing the transfer. He directly steered the Night Thunder Dream Beast towards the caravan, where flames were already surging!
Flying in the sky, Qin Meng’er had been able to barely follow Chu Mu’s Wind Demon Horse, but when Chu Mu summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast, it shot away like a black flash of lightning over the forest roads, its speed so terrifying that there were no words to describe it!
“Miss… Miss…” Old Teng finally caught up, leaving his old Horror Wolf panting for breath.
But just as Old Teng was about to speak, he was shocked to see the sinister Night Thunder Dream Beast in front of him, tearing away at twice the speed of the Wind Demon Horse. Staring in utter shock at the mysterious young man, he couldn’t even form words.
Night Thunder Dream Beast!
Dream Beasts were already rare among commander-level soul pets, but one possessing both lightning and dark attributes was considered a top-tier gem. And yet, such a soul pet was under the control of a young man who appeared to be under twenty years old!
“Which major power’s young master is this youth?” The sight of the Wind Demon Horse had already left Old Teng in awe. And to think the steed was merely a mount, not even a true soul pet!
Turns out, it wasn’t even worth a second glance to this youth. Such contempt left Old Teng, an Old Soul Pet Master who only had two mediocre commander-level soul pets, at a loss for words!
