Chapter 727: Chapter 597: Scheme within a Scheme, Sinister Sky Listener

As night fell, Chu Mu walked out of his room, bathed in the pale moonlight, which faintly revealed the coldness emanating from his body.

Chu Mu did not have much time, so as soon as he got the Earth Immortal Ice, he took it immediately and then slowly guided it into his soul with his Soul Sense, forcibly suppressing the high temperature within his soul.

Fortunately, the process wasn’t too lengthy. The effect of the Earth Immortal Ice was even more apparent. If it had taken longer, Chu Mu would have found it difficult to carry out his plan.

After absorbing half of the energy from the Earth Immortal Ice, the Ice-Feathered Spirit, which had a soul connection with Chu Mu, also reaped considerable benefits.

Although the Ice-Feathered Spirit only gained a hint of energy after Chu Mu had absorbed it, the Earth Immortal Ice was still an absolutely rare treasure used to strengthen Emperor-level Soul Pets. If an ordinary person took the Earth Immortal Ice directly, their soul would definitely be frozen to death.

After the effect of the Earth Immortal Ice, the Ice-Feathered Spirit fell into a deep sleep, needing a rather long time to absorb this spirit item with immense ice attribute energy.

Undoubtedly, after the Ice-Feathered Spirit had absorbed the Earth Immortal Ice’s cold power transmitted from Chu Mu’s soul, its combat power level would definitely increase.

…

Knowing that Chu Mu was planning something at the Netherworld Gate, Sky Listener acted cautiously and deliberately sent Nightmare Demon Palace Elder Ye Tao to Soul Hall to stall Elder Liu, so he would not have the opportunity to take action. Chu Mu was also specified to go alone.

No matter how cautious Sky Listener was, he could not guard against Chu Mu himself.

Chu Mu took advantage of Sky Listener’s mindset, deliberately drawing his attention to Elder Liu. As long as Sky Listener could control Elder Liu, he would have nothing to worry about for the exchange.

Sky Listener’s actions only further confirmed Chu Mu’s speculation that the secret was known only to Sky Listener himself.

Leaving the room, Chu Mu summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast and headed towards the Netherworld Gate.

Chu Mu chose the Netherworld Gate to create the illusion that the half-demons came from the mysterious space. This way, after he killed Sky Listener, it would be hard for the Soul Covenant investigators to trace it back to him.

After all, even if the Soul Covenant investigators were searching for the source of the half-demons, they would never suspect that a young contestant like Chu Mu could be a half-demon!

…

When Chu Mu approached the city gates, he deliberately paused for a while.

Not long after, Fox Elder hurriedly ran from a distance.

“Young Master, there are probably three Soul Emperors in the Sky Listener Manor, all of them are members of the Soul Covenant; City guard Ma Yilu, unaffiliated expert Li Teng, and Nightmare Demon Palace’s Jia Cunding. Although these people rank at the bottom of the Emperor Camp, they are great enemies to the Young Master,” the Fox Elder said.

“Elder, do you think they could know the secret?” Chu Mu asked.

“It’s safer to kill them. Even if they don’t know the secret, they know that you are here to exchange with Sky Listener,” said Fox Elder.

Chu Mu nodded, then patted Little Mo Xie on his shoulder.

In Chu Lian’s state, Little Mo Xie jumped off Chu Mu’s shoulder, under the moonlight, her fur looked more alluring and enchanting.

Chu Mu also knew that without him showing up, Sky Listener would not appear. Chu Mu, therefore, left Little Mo Xie at the city gate and went on a detour to reach the Netherworld Gate.

The Netherworld Gate, also known as the Mirror Sword Mountain, did not have a specific location provided by Chu Mu, but to deceive others, he went to the mountain peak and slowly waited for Sky Listener’s arrival.

On the eastern side of Mirror Sword Mountain, a group of strangely dressed people were quickly approaching the Netherworld Gate.

These people wore masks and black clothes, clearly not wanting others to see their identities.

The Soul Pets they commanded appeared quite ordinary, and they certainly didn’t seem like very top experts. However, they all knew how to conceal their breath under the moonlight and approached Mirror Sword Mountain without being detected.

The leader of this group was the Soul Emperor Chen Peng!

Chen Peng had originally planned to contact some special friends to assassinate Chu Mu later and take away the Qingzhe Dragon egg from Chu Mu’s body.

However, Sky Listener suddenly informed him that Chu Mu would appear at the Netherworld Gate tonight. Sky Listener asked him to bring a group and seriously wound Chu Mu’s Soul Pet, leave him half-dead, but to do it cleanly without leaving any traces.

Although Chen Peng was the leader, he didn’t intend to take action because as soon as he did, his Soul Pet would be exposed, and he would have a hard time if Soul Hall investigated.

“Cheng Qiang, don’t worry, our opponent has only an Emperor-level newbie, and the rest of his Soul Pets are all trash. You just need to cripple a few of his Souls. Do you need the Spirit? I will definitely offer it to you the next day,” Chen Peng said with a smile to Cheng Qiang.

“Hmph, isn’t he the kid who took two tiers of glory? What’s there to hem and haw about!” Cheng Qiang said with some dissatisfaction.

“Yes, yes. It seems the elder brother Cheng Qiang has also noticed. In that case, do you have more confidence?” asked Chen Peng.

“A little brat, what confidence? Just wait to collect the corpse,” Cheng Qiang said with a fierce look in his eyes, clearly ill-intentioned!

“Well…let’s not kill the man, just kill his Soul Pet.” Chen Peng whispered.

“Such a nuisance!” Cheng Qiang waved his hand impatiently.

Chen Peng quickly offered a placating smile.

Kill a person? Of course, Chen Peng didn’t dare, especially since Elder Liu was still in World City. Chu Mu was a member of Soul Hall. If he were killed, Elder Liu would certainly investigate the matter.

Chen Peng dared to kill Chu Mu, but at most, it would be by finding Chu Mu’s traces outside the city and then sending someone else to do the deed – Chen Peng only dared to do things that wouldn’t backfire on him.

Of course, if Chen Peng knew Chu Mu was the offspring of Madame Superior and the grandson of the Elder, he would definitely not carry out this mission today. Unfortunately for him, when it came to plotting schemes, Chen Peng was far inferior to Sky Listener, and once the matter was settled, Chen Peng would undoubtedly become the scapegoat.

“You guys, cause some chaos.” Cheng Qiang ordered his subordinates.

After receiving the command, more than a dozen subordinates quickly split into two groups. They approached the Netherworld Gate from different directions, moving in an extremely strange manner.

…

“Strange, why are there two groups of people fighting under the Netherworld Gate?” Chu Mu looked down from a high place, feeling puzzled inside.

Underneath the Netherworld Gate, there were about ten Soul Pets, with their strength around the Monarch Level.

As the two sides fought, sparks flew and various dazzling skills were displayed, quickly drawing the attention of the residents and city guards near the city gate.

Chu Mu couldn’t understand why this previously arranged meeting place would suddenly have two groups of unidentified people appearing out of nowhere.

“Hehe, kid, are you confused? Do you want big brother here to explain it for you?” Just as Chu Mu was puzzled, a sly voice suddenly came from below the mountain.

Soon, a man wearing a mask and black clothes appeared in front of Chu Mu.

Chu Mu frowned; it was clear that the visitor was up to no good, and Sky Listener had undoubtedly executed his conspiracy!

However, what Chu Mu found puzzling was, didn’t Sky Listener want to take back the “Forbidden Soul Pet Egg”? Why was he sending someone to kill him instead?

“Could it be… this Sky Listener really is a tricky one!” Chu Mu thought carefully and suddenly understood!

This Sky Listener was truly terrifying. Even if Chu Mu had agreed to hand over Little Mo Xie, Sky Listener still wouldn’t let him off easily!

“Kid, are you tired of living?!” Cheng Qiang saw that the young man was lost in thought, completely ignoring him, and angry, he shouted at him!

“Are the two groups of people fighting below your subordinates?” Chu Mu calmly asked.

The face under Cheng Qiang’s mask turned ugly.

Naturally, those people fighting below were arranged by him. Although Cheng Qiang was a villain, he didn’t want to provoke someone he shouldn’t.

His subordinates would stage fake fights and then dump the bodies of other powerhouses there…

What Cheng Qiang didn’t expect was for this young man to see through his plan so quickly. It was a plan he had always been proud of.

…

In the hidden place south of Netherworld Gate

Sky Listener stood alone on the dark earth under the black sky curtain, his gaze fixed on the Netherworld Gate from afar.

This time, Sky Listener had arranged a plan with some flaws but could solve the issue once and for all.

Sky Listener knew Chen Peng would definitely bring his “special friend” to kill Chu Mu’s Soul Pet. When his “special friend” had almost taught Chu Mu a lesson, he would then appear.

By then, Chu Mu’s Soul Pets would surely have been killed one after another, and Chen Peng would have taken Chu Mu’s Space Ring.

All Sky Listener had to do was show up in the guise of a righteous elder, kill the “special friend” and Chen Peng – who coveted the wealth of the first-tier champion, and take away Chen Peng’s Space Ring stolen from Chu Mu.

Sky Listener believed that there must be a “Forbidden Soul Pet Egg” inside the ring.

Even if it wasn’t there, Sky Listener wasn’t worried. He could continue to demand it; after all, it wasn’t him who started the trouble, and he might even become Chu Mu’s lifesaver!

The plan was great, but it had its flaws. These flaws, naturally, were resolved by the Alliance Master for Sky Listener.

“White Demonic Flame? Does that young man summon a White Nightmare Demon? How ridiculous – what use is a high-level Monarch Rank White Nightmare Demon?”

Sky Listener watched as a cluster of white demonic flame lit up on Mirror Sword Mountain and murmured to himself.
