Chapter 168: Chapter 49: The Overbearing Miss Chu from Chu Family
Translator: 549690339
“Why do I feel a sense of familiarity with the back of Henghai Yan?” Chu Ning slowly spoke.
When Chu Ning said this, all those who had contact with Chu Mu, including Chu Yishui and Chu Tianlin, had this feeling. However, they all believed it to be a delusion…
Amongst all those present, only Qin Meng’er knew that the man under the indifferent mask was Chu Mu. Watching this man now gave Qin Meng’er a different feeling, detached, ruthless, brash, and supercilious!
Chu Mu knew that his journey as Henghai Yan was known to most people. Thus, when wearing a mask, he wouldn’t care if others saw through his disguise. Besides, if it weren’t to shock the whole Gangluo City with his nomination at the end, there was no need for Chu Mu to conceal his ident.i.ty.
The level six soul armor originally belonged to Chu Mu. Chu Mu could buy it back for 6 million gold coins, paying only three percent of the cost to the auction house.
And now, Chu Mu even possessed nearly 10 million in immense a.s.sets!
With 10 million in funds, Chu Mu could consider going to some more advanced cities to buy soul equipment that would directly boost the combat power of his soul pets!
Departing from the auction house, Chu Mu immediately arranged all transactions from this trade meet, and put the crucial level six soul armor back on himself!
“You can rest for more than a month.” Chu Mu, seeing the situation at hand, decided to take what he could. After all, the Yang family did hold some power. If he let them raise their vigilance, it would be challenging to further plunder their a.s.sets.
“Sir Yan, not long ago we saw people from other factions of the Demon Palace nearby. It seems that the Luoyu Nightmare Youth, who wants to compete with you, will soon arrive.” He Lang spoke.
Of course, the Nightmare Demon Palace had various factions and the a.s.sa.s.sins under Chu Mu’s control were under Xia Guanghan’s jurisdiction. And the Luoyu Nightmare Youth was colluding with the Lord of the Blue Nightmare Demon Palace, their people were also scattered across the major cities of the Luo region…
“There’s no need to conflict with them. Just do your own thing.” Chu Mu said.
“Yes!!” He Lang nodded and left with the group of a.s.sa.s.sins.
Yang Family Manor
After the news of Yang Mantian’s father and son’s death, and the robbery of their entire 5 million a.s.sets spread, the old city lord Yang Kuo finally couldn’t suppress his anger and vomited blood, spattering it on the ground!!
“Who!! Who on earth!! Who was so brutal to kill my Yang Kuo’s descendants!!” Yang Kuo’s face was incredibly distorted!
In this short period, their Yang Family had IOS of million worth of a.s.sets destroyed, and moreover, 5 million in a.s.sets were robbed on a free road. What the old city lord couldn’t tolerate the most was that his son, Yang Mantian, was killed in the forest, along with Yang Shang who had also turned into a charred corpse!!
All people in the Yang Family didn’t dare to say a single word, trembling on their knees, while Yang Kuo roared in rage.
For over a decade, the Yang Family had been developing steadily in Gangluo City, but they never thought they’d face such a b.l.o.o.d.y disaster. Anyone could see that this time, it was targetted completely at the Yang family! !
“Go, immediately send someone for me to bring the late Luoyu Nightmare
Youth – Yang Luosen here, let him employ the power of the Nightmare Demon Palace, to thoroughly investigate who is behind this! !” Yang Kuo pointed at Yang Luobin and furiously said!
Yang Luobin immediately nodded in agreement. Yang Luobin has some blood ties with Luoyu Nightmare Youth Yang Luosen. Yang Luosen should have arrived in Gangluo City by now, but he seemed to be delayed for some reason and hadn’t arrived yet. If he were here, such an event could be probably avoided, after all, the power of the Nightmare Demon Palace is distributed very widely and can easily gather all kinds of information.
“Father… Do you still remember Xia Guanghan from the Nightmare Demon Palace?” Yang Mancan said with a stern face.
Upon mentioning Xia Guanghan, Yang Kuo immediately frowned.
Initially, the Yang Family had the Nightmare Demon Palace a.s.sa.s.sin act on behalf of them to try and a.s.sa.s.sinate Chu Mu while bypa.s.sing Chu Tiancheng. This a.s.sa.s.sin was Xia Guanghan from the Nightmare Demon Palace. At that time, the Yang Family only considered Xia Guanghan as a relatively powerful a.s.sa.s.sin from the Nightmare Demon Palace, and didn’t pay much attention to him. Since they had a slight connection with Luoyu Nightmare Youth Yang Luosen, they brushed off Xia Guanghan’s requests. But Xia Guanghan was a ruthless character and after killing many experts of the Yang Family, he even took the Yang Family’s only complete Soul Skill “Blood Pupil Frenzy”.
“If it’s really him, then only by bringing Yang Luosen can this matter be solved.” Yang Mancan whispered.
But Yang Kuo didn’t speak, his face looked even grimmer.
News can’t be concealed forever. The news of the heaviest strike the Yang
Family has ever received in over a decade quickly spread throughout Gangluo City. People began to guess who was behind such a daring act, some even speculated that the one who managed to stealthily plunder the a.s.sets of the Yang Family and rob a significant amount of funds was very likely a major power unintentionally offended by the Yang Family!
Soon enough, some astute individuals a.s.sociated the incident of the Yang Family’s Level-6 territory being seized by the Demon Ant Emperor with the potential revenge of a major power. Rumors that the Yang Family was about to experience a calamitous disaster began to spread widely…
However, in the subsequent period, no further tragedies befell the Yang Family. Some people believed that the supposed offense against a major power was just a groundless rumor, while others suspected that this major power was brewing an even more furious retaliation.
No matter how much the Yang Family incident stirred up public sentiment, causing the Yang Family members to live in constant fear, the recommendation period was drawing closer. Gangluo City, including all the cities under its jurisdiction, had already started to prepare for this grand event that took place once every five years!
With the recommendation approaching, the flow of people in Gangluo City increased. Meanwhile, many wandering individuals began to take refuge in the numerous major powers within Gangluo City before the recommendation period arrived.
The Chu Family was currently in a decline, with few strong individuals willing to pledge allegiance to it. However, due to the spread of the incident where the Yang Family provoked a major power, the number of individuals seeking refuge with the Yang Family declined ma.s.sively. This, to some extent, revived the popularity of the Chu Family, preventing further decline and even gradually exhibiting signs of recovery.
With only a month left before the recommendation, the Family Head Chu
Ming, Secondary Family Head Chu Nan, and the second-generation members
all began to busy themselves with the addition of new members, the expansion of their influence, and planning of their industries.
The third-generation members naturally began to train diligently, making final preparations for the upcoming recommendation.
In the final month, Chu Mu finally began training with his other brothers from the Chu Family.
Recommendations were conducted in team battles, categorized by the power factions, rather than free-for-alls. Therefore, a thorough understanding of each team member’s strength and adjusting the order of appearance accordingly was necessary, as it could be crucial to the outcome of the battle.
Since Chu Mu had made up his mind to further astonish everyone during the recommendation, he naturally would not reveal all his strength during training. Instead, he focused most of his energy on rapidly enhancing Ye’s power.
Many of Chu Mu’s opponents in the recommendation were not on the same level as him. Unless necessary, Chu Mu had no need to get MO Ye to partic.i.p.ate. He planned to give Ye an opportunity to demonstrate his capabilities!
“Hmph, you refuse to accept the MO Ye Grandpa gave you, but you’re training such a weak Fourth Rank MO Ye. Do you plan to fight with this skinny MO Ye?” Chu Ying showed an expression of dissatisfaction and her remarks were extremely harsh on Chu Mu.
“Little sister, Chu Mu has his own ways of training Soul Pets, you don’t need to interfere.” The older brother Chu Xing looked at Chu Ying, who was acting like a lady of high status, and spoke gently.
Ignoring the advice from her elder brother Chu Xing, Chu Ying was even more indignant when she saw that Chu Mu was completely ignoring her presence. She furiously said to Chu Mu, “Summon your Night Thunder Dream Beast, let’s spar! ”
As Chu Ying spoke, she had already summoned her Level Six Rank Eight Vermilion Bird with great vigor.
The Vermilion Bird was a low-level War General. Having reached the 6th level 8th stage, it should be able to handle many Commander-level Soul Pets above the 5th rank. It was no wonder Chu Ying revealed such a haughty demeanor, considering she had such power on hand with just a random summon.
“Little sister, stop causing trouble!” The elder brother Chu Xing immediately knitted his brows.
“Big brother, why are you and grandpa always showing favouritism for that guy? He can only summon two Soul Pets and will surely suffer during the battles. If he doesn’t train those other Soul Pets that have some fighting power, won’t he be dragging us down!” Chu Ying’s sharp words left no consideration for Chu Mu’s feelings. Her overly a.s.sertive att.i.tude as a Miss made it really hard for Chu Mu to have a favorable impression of her regardless of her beauty.
Chu Mu lifted his eyelids to take a glance at this Missy, Chu Ying, who used to make things difficult for him at every turn, still maintaining his detached and indifferent att.i.tude…
“You… Big brother, look, he doesn’t take me seriously at all! I must teach him a lesson!” Chu Ying, feeling aggrieved, directly used Soul Sense to command her Vermilion Bird to attack Chu Mu’s incredibly weak MO Ye.
Suddenly, a much sharper cry rang out. As the Vermilion Bird dived downwards, everyone could clearly feel a Soul Pet with its feathers ablaze with a raging flame appear out of nowhere. It charged at Chu Ying’s Vermilion Bird at an astonishing speed, directly knocking her Vermilion bird away!
“A Commander-level Flame Bird!!” The Chu brothers were instantly stunned, their gaze fixed on this sudden Level Six Flame Bird.
Then, all their gazes shifted towards the side, onto the girl with a soft beauty and charming demeanor. Their eyes sparkled with a certain light, revealing their admiration for her.
“Qin Meng’er…” Chu Ying instantly knitted her brows, staring discontentedly at Qin Meng’er, Miss Qin, who suddenly appeared. Qin Meng’er was no stranger to the Chu Family, she had been visiting frequently recently. Almost every time she visited, she was there to see Chu Mu.
Chu Ying was among the top in younger generation of female Soul Pet Trainers in Gangluo City, and there were few who could match her. However, compared to Qin Meng’er, she still fell several levels short. Hence, every time Qin Meng’er appeared, Chu Ying had to suppress her arrogant and domineering att.i.tude, wearing an expression of envy and disgust…
“Sorry for the delay, this chapter is only updated now… There is a long and winding story behind this, which I’ll keep brief… I heard there would be a meteor shower tonight, so being silly me, I ran to the rooftop at around nine, and somehow, ended up sleeping on the rooftop, wrapped in a coat… I woke up startled in the middle of the night from the freezing cold… When I woke up, I scared myself… I hastily returned to my den, took a bath, finished this chapter feeling very depressed… Wasn’t it a mix of being a literary youth and a silly youth…)”
