Chapter 1693: Chapter 1550: Retaliate Against Them!!
When Ye Qingzi entered the side hall, she saw Mu Qingyi covered in blood, her armor was beyond recognition, flesh was blurred, and even bones could be seen.
Seeing this scene made Ye Qingzi gasp and she quickly had Lingyin Qie treat Mu Qingyi.
Mu Qingyi was still in a semi-conscious state, faintly feeling someone healing her.
In fact, when Chu Mu was fighting his way out of the Mu Tian Lineage’s army with Mu Qingyi, she was already in this comatose state, her consciousness extremely blurry.
Mu Qingyi, in a daze, felt she was still on the battlefield, sensed many enemies around her, the roars of monsters in her ears, but Chu Mu, who originally came to save her, was nowhere to be found, which made her feel very scared and weakly called out Chu Mu’s name.
Ye Qingzi leaned closer to listen to her, but when she bent down, Mu Qingyi suddenly embraced her, clung tightly like a child without any sense of security, and refused to let go.
Ye Qingzi’s clothes quickly became stained with Mu Qingyi’s blood, she didn’t struggle, just quietly let her cling on, listening to Mu Qingyi’s murmurs, half-clear and half-unintelligible.
After who knows how long, Mu Qingyi fell asleep from exhaustion, and Ye Qingzi arranged her hands properly, silently treating all her injuries.
…
“How is she?” Chao Lengchuan stood outside the screen, asking Ye Qingzi.
“Her wounds have been treated, but she has three soul pets with soul damage and will need a long time to rest. Her White Tiger and Crowned Phoenix King are also heavily injured; they can’t fight for a month,” Ye Qingzi said.
“Three souls… Did three of her soul pets die??” Chao Lengchuan was stunned.
“Mhm.”
Chao Lengchuan didn’t know what to say for a while.
Soul damage is a tremendous blow. Chao Lengchuan had also experienced it during his own cultivation. Now that Mu Qingyi’s triple spirit has suffered trauma, how will she face this pain once she wakes up?
“Where’s Chu Mu?” Ye Qingzi asked.
“He’s gone to Cloud Gate. Cloud Gate has fallen,” Chao Lengchuan answered.
“His injuries… He went there alone?”
“A few of his stronger Nightmare Demon subordinates followed him.”
Since Chu Mu’s return from the Sea Race, Ye Qingzi had no chance to be with him. He had been rushing around non-stop for months, the same during the outbreak of the war.
“Take good care of Qingyi. Our injuries are nothing serious,” Chao Lengchuan said and then left.
Ye Qingzi nodded.
As she turned around, Mu Qingyi let out a low moan, a mouthful of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, staining her pale lips.
“Awake?” Ye Qingzi smiled, brought over a cup of tea for her to rinse her mouth.
“How come I’m here??” Mu Qingyi was somewhat bewildered, for she felt like she was on the battlefield all along.
“The expeditionary force has retreated,” Ye Qingzi said.
“Just now…” Mu Qingyi looked at Ye Qingzi somewhat lost.
She remembered, just before her consciousness faded, thinking she was about to die, hence embracing Chu Mu and saying some words…
But after regaining consciousness, she felt something was off, because the person she embraced felt soft and slender, not like Chu Mu’s shoulders and chest.
Could it be…
Mu Qingyi looked at Ye Qingzi, trying to discern something from her expression, but she couldn’t make anything out, Ye Qingzi was too composed.
“Qingzi, did I say something I shouldn’t have?” Mu Qingyi lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look into her eyes.
“Do you want me to pass the message, or would you rather tell the right person again yourself?” Ye Qingzi said.
“I couldn’t possibly say it again, and don’t pass the message either,” Mu Qingyi said earnestly.
“Concentrate on healing for now.”
“Okay.”
…
In the Heavenly Mountains, the snow was vast, the wind piercing, and the white silence looked like a huge painting spread across the continent, everything was still, without any sound.
Over the continuous Snow Mountain range, black and white demonic flames danced in the fierce wind, Chu Mu flying at the forefront, anxiously heading towards Cloud Gate.
Behind him, there were a total of ten Silver Nightmare Demons. Chu Mu left the Nightmare Demon Ruler stationed in East Madness Forest. If war broke out there, Bai Yu would replace Chu Mu to command the Nightmare Demon Army.
The ten Silver Nightmare Demons he brought were leader-level from the Nightmare Demon Army, outstanding in strength and quick enough to keep up with Chu Mu to provide support.

The fall of Cloud Gate means that a door to New Moon Land has been breached.
The attacking forces of the alliance expeditionary force this time were the Emperor Army and the Dominator Army, but there are far too many greedy powers on the Struggle Land during this chaotic period of war. Like a flock of vultures, numerous smaller forces loiter around the battlefield, looking for their opportunity to feed on the flesh.
Once the door of Cloud Gate is breached, not only will the Divine Sect Punishment Hall invade the heartland of New Moon Land, but these groups will also swarm in.
They dare not occupy heavily guarded cities like Wanxiang City and Xiangrong City but will wreak devastating blows on the smaller cities within Wanxiang Realm!
Most of Wanxiang Realm’s military forces are currently concentrated in several battle zones, leaving those cities with hardly any defensive power, completely at the mercy of slaughter.
…
Heavenly Mountain Cloud Gate is drawing closer, but the very thing Chu Mu worried about has happened.
On the mountains, he can faintly see small squads of forces moving along the Sky Mountain, heading towards the land of New Moon Land. These squads are not strong and Chu Mu could easily crush them.
But he has no time to deal with them right now. With Cloud Gate fallen, figures like Old Man of Cloud Gate, Ye Wansheng, and Teng Lang are now besieged at the peak of Sky Mountain. Chu Mu must rescue them first. If they were to die, New Moon Land would suffer an even heavier blow.
After passing through the long glacier gorge, a building stands at the end of the Ice Gorge like a castle made of ice.
At this moment, this ice castle has already been half destroyed, and from Chu Mu’s position, he can see a group of New Moon Legion soldiers in silver armor being besieged at the edge of the castle.
Bodies are everywhere within the ice castle, most of which belong to the fighters of New Moon Land, with fresh blood staining their silver armor. New Moon’s banners lie in blood puddles, faces that refused to accept their deaths…
The Battle of East Madness Forest did indeed end in victory, but because it pulled too much strength away, Cloud Gate Fortress suffered a catastrophic blow, which chills Chu Mu’s heart as he looks on.
…
“Kill them all, hmph, ignorant fools!!” ordered Divine Sect Chief Officer Xie Lian.
The fortification of the ice castle by New Moon Land’s legion was down to just a few hundred men. Wiping out these men and capturing the few defending generals would make the battle, like so many of Divine Sect’s battles, an unquestionable victory.
The Punishment Hall’s reputation for ruthlessness is well-known throughout the Divine Sect; their hearts are not swayed by the Sect’s pure righteousness. Instead, they carry the aura of executioners. The Punishment Hall of the Divine Sect has numerous examples of slaughtering defectors, and this is probably related to who the leader is.
The leader of the Punishment Hall is Sect Leader Du Xian, a man whose heart twisted with madness from what was once upright and just. Under his leadership, the Punishment Hall has gradually developed a bloodthirsty and brutal nature over the years, following orders without kindness or morality.
The majority of the bodies in the entire fortress city belong to the army of New Moon. They step on these bodies, creating even more death, not sparing even the last of the defenders.
What’s most infuriating is that the Punishment Hall turns a blind eye to the influx of small forces that are clearly a bunch of bandits, which means they have tacitly allowed these small forces to wreak havoc and plunder in New Moon Land!
“Attack!!”
The command given, a dense barrage of skills falls like a torrential rain onto a corner of the castle.
Over three hundred members of the New Moon Palace Army and the Free Army stand there, helplessly receiving this baptism of death.
“Boom boom boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Energy erupts amidst the three hundred-plus members of New Moon, instantly dismembering everyone!!!
Flesh and blood fly about, bones and limbs are blasted into the sky, landing far away.
In an instant, over three hundred people have been turned into a pile of unrecognizable corpses!
“Huh~~~”
Black and silver Demonic Flames alternate, as a Magic Shadow eerily stands amidst the raining bodies…
Seeing the protectors of New Moon Land being reduced to pieces falling around him, seeing their blood rain down like a shower, Chu Mu, who arrived a step too late, felt as if his heart had been viciously stabbed, pain contorting his flame-engulfed face.
He missed by just a little bit, just a little bit, and he could have been there when the Punishment Hall attacked, in front of those three hundred-plus members guarding New Moon, to shield them from this attack, to save their lives…
But he was just a little bit too late, flesh and blood were scattered, and bodies were destroyed.
“Drip-drip-drip~~~~~~~~~~~~” The burst flesh and blood plasma splatter on Chu Mu.
Chu Mu instantly became a figure of bloody hue, with his hair, face, arms, and body all stained red, and on his shoulder hung half an arm of a soldier, as if he were carrying an old friend.
Chu Mu did not move away, letting the blasted flesh and blood fall on him.
“There’s one still alive, continue the attack!!” Divine Sect Chief Officer Xie Lian roared.
As Xie Lian gave the order, that figure, standing in the rain of flesh and blood, slowly lifted his head, his black and white Heterochromatic Eyes terrifyingly fixated on the members of the Punishment Hall.
“Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo~~~~~~~~”
Death is the root of all evil, and how many restless souls within this castle are wailing!
These spirits filled with resentment and unwillingness seem to have received a call, swirling around a Magic Shadow, willing to transform into his power, seeking only revenge!
