“If you only have these soul pets, you’ll lose very miserably.” Yu He sneered at Chu Mu as he finally left.

“These are enough.” Chu Mu responded indifferently.

Yu He didn’t say anything more as he dispelled the ice pillars that had sprung up on both sides of the road and walked towards Colorful Dome City with indifference.

After Yu He left, the city gate returned to its original state. Everyone who walked past Chu Mu gave him a look, and many of them stared at Chu Mu with strange eyes before whispering to their companions.

During Chu Mu’s battle with Yu He, it had become clear that Yu He’s three soul pets had an overall strength that was much stronger than Chu Mu’s.

Chu Mu’s challenge to him was a sure loss. Although these people’s strength might not reach Chu Mu’s level, the majority of them seemed to think that Chu Mu, with his weaker soul pet lineup, would lose.

“Young Master, are you leaving the city, heading to Li City?” Lord Tang dispersed the crowd of onlookers and asked.

“Yes, I’m going to Thousand Wood City.” Chu Mu nodded.

“For safety, I’ll have Zhao Yi escort you. Your ident.i.ty is n.o.ble, and you can’t afford any accidents.” Lord Tang said.

“Alright then.” Chu Mu did not refuse. Now that his ident.i.ty as a young master was revealed, if he happened to be targeted by hostile forces, Chu Mu would also be in trouble. Only by leaving this area and hiding his ident.i.ty and journey would he be safer.

“Young Master, should we send someone to kill him? If he stays alive, it will be extremely disadvantageous for you.” In the attic, a middle-aged man dressed in dark blue clothes stood behind Yu He and spoke coldly.

Yu He stood at the edge of the attic with his hands behind his back, gazing in the direction Chu Mu was leaving. After a long while, he shook his head and said, “This Chu Chen is either a false name of a Soul Hall Young Master or a capable subordinate of a Young Master. Killing him would be tantamount to announcing to everyone that I’m plotting to silence a witness. Besides, he’s not somebody who can be easily provoked. If we want to kill him, we must think of a foolproof plan. At least before the trial, we can’t move against him.”

Yu He had already learned that Chu Chen’s Soul Hall Order was not a fabrication, and his ident.i.ty was extremely mysterious.

Yu He could indeed use some hidden means to deal with Chu Mu secretly. However, Yu He could not afford to offend someone of the level of a young master. He could only vent his anger through an open challenge.

“The seven Palace Masters of the Soul Hall are not to be trifled with. The trial in two months, and with that youngster’s testimony, you’ll be in big trouble.” The middle-aged man in dark blue clothes said.

“Hmph, you think I want this?!” Yu He was also furious just thinking about it.

His plan had been perfect originally; even if Lord Yu suspected that it wasn’t an accident, he wouldn’t have any evidence and definitely wouldn’t be able to cause him any trouble.

But Yu He could never have expected a Soul Hall Young Master to suddenly appear out of nowhere, messing up his plan and making him the prime suspect. It would be extremely difficult to absolve himself.

Previously, Yu He had provoked Chu Mu while maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. In reality, Yu He had already been gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth with hatred for Chu Mu. Because of Chu Mu’s appearance, Yu He may face a severe punishment from the Soul Hall, which would also affect his position in Elemental Gate.

Yu He secretly cursed his bad luck; there were nine Soul Hall Young Masters, probably just four or five roaming outside for training. The world was so vast, yet he had accidentally encountered a Soul Hall Young Master with a higher position than him. As a result, he had to swallow the bitter pill of being slapped in the face, and now he had to face the extremely severe Soul Hall trial.

If he could safely get through the trial, that would be fine. But if not, Yu He would also face calamity. In the next two months, Yu He would truly have to rack his brains to free himself from this accusation.

Ordered to escort Chu Mu, the bearded Zhao Yi also set out east.

On this journey, Zhao Yi had been trying to figure out which Soul Hall Young Master Chu Mu was, and at the same time, intentionally or unintentionally, he hoped to gain the attention of Chu Mu in order to enter the Main Soul Hall.

Those who could enter the Main Soul Hall were the truly powerful and influential people of the Soul Hall. Zhao Yi was currently just a Soul Official of the Ninth-Level branch hall. To advance further and become a Tenth-Level Soul Official, he would need a referral from someone with a high status like Chu Mu.

However, Chu Mu was not going to give Zhao Yi a referral. After all, Chu Mu himself didn’t know the ranking system of Soul Hall, and besides his mother, he didn’t know anyone in Soul Hall.

Once they arrived in Thousand Wood City, Chu Mu quickly dismissed the unclean-bearded Zhao Yi, letting him go wherever he wanted to.

“Young Master, there are quite a few spirit items for Plant World soul pets in Thousand Wood City. You need Blood-sucking Wood, so maybe they’re sold here,” Fox Elder reminded Chu Mu.

Chu Mu had stored Crown Blood Fat in his s.p.a.ce Ring for quite a while. In the previous few cities he pa.s.sed through, he had specifically searched for Blood-sucking Wood. Unfortunately, none of those cities had it, and so Chu Mu hadn’t been able to fuse the Blood-sucking Wood and Crown Blood Fat to strengthen his Demon Tree Warrior.

Thousand Wood City was quite popular for plant-type soul pets, mainly because it was located in Yuan Forest, which was well-known for Plant World soul pets. This resulted in most soul pet masters in the area choosing the more common Plant World soul pets found in the Yuan Forest.

“That Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon, which has combat power not inferior to quasi-monarchs, is difficult to deal with. If you don’t summon the White Nightmare demon to fight, you’ll have to significantly improve your Demon Tree Warrior’s strength within these two months, so it can control the Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon. Otherwise, your little fox will be severely restricted,” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu realized this point as well. Attribute counters were very obvious, especially with the increase in stages. The abilities and skills of soul pets grew stronger, making the advantages of each type of soul pet more prominent.

Yu He’s Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon’s combat power was definitely below Mo Ye, but its multiple simultaneous skill releases and powerful Wood-type restrictions could counter Mo Ye. Without finding a solution, Chu Mu was doomed to lose against Yu He.

The Demon Tree Warrior was currently at the Sixth Rank, Stage 6. Over the next two months, Chu Mu needed to focus on strengthening the Demon Tree Warrior, striving to get it to Seventh Rank First-stage, then it would have a chance to fight the Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon.

Of course, Chu Mu was also aware that there was a considerable gap between the Demon Tree Warrior and the Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon.

It was evident that the Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon had strengthened its Wood-type ability to that of a low-grade Monarch-level existence, while the Demon Tree Warrior’s Wood attribute had only just reached the level of an intermediate Commander. There was a significant gap in rank and talent, and Chu Mu was unsure whether he could strengthen the Demon Tree Warrior enough to fight against the Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon in these two months.

“In any case, I’ll do my best to strengthen and improve,” Chu Mu also made up his mind.

Wood-type soul pets played a vital role in multi-pet battles. For example, when facing the eight hundred Guaiyan Guardians previously, if Chu Mu had improved the strength of the Demon Tree Warrior to match the Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon, the Demon Tree Warrior would have had no problem dealing with a hundred Guaiyan Guardians on its own. This was the immense advantage of Wood-type soul pets in group battles!

Thinking of the Guaiyan Guardians, Chu Mu thought of Yu He’s Solid Rock General, which also had combat power surpa.s.sing peak Commander level.

The Ghost Dome King was only at the Fifth Rank Eighth-Stage. It was unlikely that the Ghost Dome King could reach a level high enough to fight against the Solid Rock General in two months, but Chu Mu still planned to let the Ghost Dome King partic.i.p.ate.

The Ghost Dome King and the Solid Rock General were of the same race, but the Ghost Dome King was an entire level higher than the Solid Rock General.

Having never been strengthened before, the Ghost Dome King could reach the Sixth Rank with some money and spirit items. While it might not be able to defeat Yu He’s Solid Rock General, as long as it could hold off the Solid Rock General, that would be enough for Chu Mu!

Chu Mu searched the market and Trading Post for a while, but unfortunately, he didn’t find any Blood-sucking Wood. After all, items costing over a million weren’t easy to get in an Eighth-Level city.

Cities with Ninth Level and above would have Soul Hall branches, but even if Chu Mu wanted to use Soul Hall’s resources to purchase Blood-sucking Wood now, it would be impossible.

After some searching, Chu Mu finally found clues about Blood-sucking Wood in the Soul Pet Palace’s bounties.

What Chu Mu found wasn’t Blood-sucking Wood, but the habitat of Blood-sucking Wood Demons.

The bounty of the Soul Pet Palace mentioned that there were Commander-Level Blood-sucking Wood Demons often appearing 50 kilometers to the northeast of Thousand Wood City. In the bounty, a soul pet master offered 5 million gold coins to purchase high-quality Blood-sucking Wood Demons below Fifth Rank.

“What, are you interested in this bounty?” A handsome teenager approached Chu Mu as he was looking at the bounty.

“Yeah, are you going there too?” Chu Mu glanced at the teenager, who seemed to be around seventeen or eighteen.

Most soul pet masters started getting familiar with soul pets at the age of ten. After turning eighteen, they would begin to leave their elders, family and power behind and go out to gain experience. These experiences could last until they were twenty-five, and most soul pet masters would join various powers based on their strength during this age. Of course, those who didn’t like to be restricted by power could continue to gain experience…

The teenager in front of Chu Mu looked to be about sixteen or seventeen, and Chu Mu guessed he was one of those young soul pet masters who went out to gain experience early.

“I just need to pa.s.s through the territory of the Blood-sucking Wood Demons and keep going north. If you’re taking on this bounty, why not take me along? To help me pa.s.s through the Blood-sucking Wood Demon’s territory safely, I can pay you a commission,” said the handsome teenager.

“Taking someone along would be a burden and inconvenient,” Chu Mu glanced at the teenager and said indifferently.

“I am a Six-thought Spirit Teacher. I just want to travel with someone else for mutual support. As for who is whose burden, that’s debatable,” the teenager said with a smile.
