Chapter 1178: Chapter 1043: Life and Death Uncertain Chapter 1178: Chapter 1043: Life and Death Uncertain Changpo

The setting sun slowly withdrew its last ray of light, and dusk descended upon the continent.

The Nine-winged Dragon Serpent, supporting its body, proudly raised its head and gazed at the mountain ranges where the sun was setting.

Li Hong’s gaze was also fixed there. At this moment, he was seething with suppressed anger but could only stand still, watching Chao Lengchuan escape right before his eyes!

“Who exactly is it!” Li Hong’s gaze remained unflinchingly on that spot, staring distantly at the silhouette of the man who had taken Chao Lengchuan away.

After a long while, Li Hong gradually calmed his emotions and leaped back atop the Nine-winged Dragon Serpent, chasing in the direction where Ye Qingzi and the others had earlier fled.

…

Not long after Li Hong had left, a purple figure slowly emerged in the dim light.

The person controlling the Purple Soul Pet glanced at the bloodstains on the ground. His eyes showed some changes, and then he quickly ran in another direction.

This person controlling the Purple Soul Pet was Ye Wansheng.

Ye Qingzi and the others actually hadn’t gone far. When they left toward the west, they had circled around and hid in a forest a hundred kilometers north of where Chao Lengchuan and Li Hong had battled.

The Nine-winged Dragon Serpent flew very fast. If one were to flee in a certain direction, it wouldn’t take long to be caught up with. Choosing to go against its path was the only way to shake it off.

After the battle ended, Ye Wansheng went to Changpo to scout the situation.

However, when Ye Wansheng returned to the battlefield, he saw no sign of Wanzhao Beast or the Morning Crown Prince. Only bright red blood splattered everywhere.

Ye Wansheng, riding Ye Qingzi’s Purple Robe Dream Beast, floated over and landed in front of the forest where everyone was hiding.

“How is it?” Ye Qingzi asked.

Ye Wansheng said, “Li Hong should have already left.”

“How is Chao Lengchuan?” Shen Mo immediately stood up and asked.

Ye Wansheng shook his head and said, “I only saw bloodstains…”

Everyone fell silent. After all, the Morning Crown Prince had been fighting to buy them time, and now his fate was uncertain. No one could feel lucky for having escaped Li Hong’s pursuit.

“Let’s head east,” Ye Qingzi suggested at that moment.

“East? Our homelands are all in the west. Heading east would mean we’re putting ourselves at their mercy!” said Elder Kuang.

“Yes, the east is mostly cities of the Soul Covenant, and we even have to detour around Wanxiang City. This process is very dangerous,” the Holy Guard Leader said.

“We plan to meet with Chu Fangchen as soon as possible,” Ye Wansheng said.

“Chu Fangchen? What’s the use of finding him? Wanxiang City has already fallen. The pressing matter is to retreat to the west, regroup our forces, push into Wanxiang City, and rescue the Female Superior, the Elders, and the Elderly!” Elder Kuang said.

Master Li then spoke, “How about this, we split up. Elder Kuang, you head back to Xiangrong City now and inform Elder Teng who is in charge there of the situation. Let them come up with a strategy. The most important thing is to prevent panic. I believe the Soul Covenant will definitely cling to this leverage of hostages and deliberately drag out the time, causing those officials with family trapped in Wanxiang City to crumble from within. This way, a large part of our forces in the west would be defeated without a fight, leaving us in no position to contend with the enemy. What you need to do is to stabilize their emotions.”

After speaking, Master Li then turned to Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng and said, “You two quickly find Chu Fangchen, but don’t let him act rashly. Bring him to Xiangrong City to discuss strategies and find a breakthrough for the rescue.”

There were only a few in the Three Great Palaces who could truly hold their own. Initially, Xia Zhixian’s capture could have tipped the scales in favor of the Three Great Palaces, but Li Hong’s betrayal had completely changed the situation.

Now, the Female Superior was trapped in the Underground Holy Temple, and the Morning Crown Prince’s fate was uncertain. Currently, the only one who could confront a Dominator Level enemy was Chu Mu.

However, Master Li also felt helpless because the situation had completely lost its balance. Even if Chu Mu appeared, it seemed he couldn’t change anything. Was this war really heading inexplicably towards defeat?

…

East Madness Forest

The East Madness Forest was still in autumn. Yellow falling leaves slowly drifted down, making the wooden house nestled in the trees lose some of its freshness and gain a bit more of a desolate atmosphere.

The green forest had turned orange-yellow, and under the shadows of the trees, a man slowly walked in.

Long periods of training always unwittingly develop a fierce and murderous aura akin to that of a wild beast. When Chu Mu returned to the wooden house where the old couple lived in seclusion, Old Lady Wen and Old Man Han were startled by his bloodthirsty demeanor.

“Really, if you’re going to cultivate, you might as well turn into a monster. Who else but you would engage in continuous battles for a whole year?” Old Lady Wen reproached him as she purposefully brought Chu Mu a bowl of freshly made hot soup.

Chu Mu gave a silly smile. When he emerged from Prison Island, he had the desire to kill anyone he saw. Now, he had greatly improved and wasn’t as murderous.

Old Lady Wen kindly offered Chu Mu some usual advice, while Old Man Han inquired about his training experiences.

“Speaking of which, it seems something big has happened outside,” said Old Man Han.

“Something big happened? Has the Alliance Master appeared?” Chu Mu’s heart tightened.

Chu Mu had not been in contact with the outside world for a year and was therefore unaware of the current state of the battles. He was most concerned about the appearance of the Alliance Master, but he knew he must focus solely on urgently cultivating without any distractions, which was why he had never stepped half a step out of the East Madness Forest.

“We don’t know either. Usually, someone would send us some news through a Messenger Soul Pet, but it has been a while since we last received any news. It’s like a kind of code between us, meaning something big has happened,” explained Old Man Han.

“Then… I should leave now,” Chu Mu stood up, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

Old Lady Wen and Old Man Han did not try to detain him, knowing that Chu Mu had a great responsibility…

“Dream of Oblivion, let’s go,” Chu Mu said, glancing at Little Dream of Death, who was pecking at some pastries.

Little Dream of Death swallowed the pastries and, after fluttering its wings and flying out of the wooden house, its body quickly became surrounded by numerous Death Thunder Spirit Butterflies.

The Death Thunder Spirit Butterflies rapidly congregated together, transforming into the sixteen wings of Dream of Oblivion, whose body stretched out to ten meters.

Its body shimmered with Death Thunder, emitting a strong aura that caused strange diversions in the airflow, violently swaying the forest. The special power of thunder, at times, leapt out from the dark purple down feathers, turning into lightning snakes that swiftly passed through the dense forest, terrifying the creatures residing within.

After Chu Mu climbed onto Dream of Oblivion, the beast began to vigorously flap its eight pairs of wings. Its dark purple, sinister body transformed into lightning, shooting into the clear blue sky.

After a brief pause high up, Dream of Oblivion once again became a majestic purple rainbow, sweeping across the sky, splendid and dashing!

Chu Mu was no stranger to soaring through the sky, transforming into a half-demon himself as he tread effortlessly in the heavens. However, as a Soul Pet Master, being able to ride his cultivated Winged Soul Pet gave him a completely different experience.

Moreover, the flying speed of Dream of Oblivion was clearly much faster than Chu Mu himself. Taking advantage of its unique Winged System attribute, it could maintain this high-speed flight without expending much physical strength.

The dark purple lightning weaved through high altitudes, with the clouds and mists rapidly flowing backward below. From time to time, some towering mountain peaks standing high up in the air appeared suddenly in front.

At such times, Dream of Oblivion’s Dark Attribute lightning would perform a splendid turn, and in an instant, the towering mountain peaks would be left far behind, still bearing the stunning trajectory above…

“Let’s find Qingzi first,” Chu Mu took out a special ring from his Space Ring.

This ring was specially crafted by a Soul Hall’s forger at Chu Mu’s request, made from a piece of natural magnetic jade from the Nightmare Demon Forbidden Land.

Once the magnetic jade was split in two, there would always be a faint attraction between the halves. By infusing “Soul Power” into it, this faint force of attraction and repulsion could be felt even from a great distance.

Next, by determining the direction of the weak attraction, one could smoothly find the person who possessed the other half of the magnetic jade.

Magnetic jade is unique; after acquiring this special Crystal Stone, Chu Mu had it forged into rings, one for himself and one for Ye Qingzi. After separating, they could use these jade rings to find each other.

When Chu Mu put on the jade ring, he quickly sensed the direction where Ye Qingzi was. Through the ring’s faint increasing attraction effect, Chu Mu discovered that Ye Qingzi also seemed to be moving towards him.

“Has something really happened?” Chu Mu furrowed his brow.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Qingzi should be in Wanxiang City. There was no reason for her to travel east, especially in such an urgent manner to meet him.

Chu Mu felt increasingly uneasy. The Alliance Master’s spirit must have recovered by now. If he suddenly appeared in Wanxiang City and launched an attack on the people of the Three Great Palaces, coupled with the Four Heroes, even the Seven Diagram Holy King of the Three Great Palaces might not be able to withstand it.

Chu Mu patted Dream of Oblivion and said, “Fly even faster.”

Dream of Oblivion nodded its head after its body was imbued with the power of Death Thunder, increasing the speed of its lightning-fast movement. In the blue sky, only a blur of its figure could be seen speeding past, leaving no trace of its flight path, as if it was traveling through another space!

(The first chapter is served for today~~~~~~~)

(I do not understand why, but this afternoon’s chapter always seems destined for delay after delay~~~~~ I myself am unlikely to wake up early; my biological clock is set, and my routine is formed such that waking early leaves me without energy all day. To change that would probably require a long time~~~ Please be patient~~~~)
