Chapter 462: Chapter 337 Invisible Black Hand, Xia Guanghan
“Keep a watchful eye?” Chu Mu looked at the Palace Master in confusion, not understanding what he meant by keeping a watchful eye.
“My deputy reported to me that someone has recently been collecting a large number of spirit items related to the Demon Fox Clan and selling them in various places. However, during the transaction, they would deliberately cancel the transaction and put it into World City. A while ago, the deputy’s eldest son bought Demonic Fox Blood refined by a pharmacist within the Soul Hall, and the transaction process seemed a bit strange…” Lord Yu said.
“Could it be that someone put the Heart of the Demon Fox on the list to deceive others into putting their money, but in fact, there is no such thing?” Chu Mu asked.
“That’s not the case. Our Soul Hall’s transactions wouldn’t have such scams. It’s precisely because the other party possesses the genuine spirit items and completed the transaction, although the transaction process was a bit strange, we couldn’t intervene. As the deputy mentioned it, I intentionally checked the transaction situation of the Demon Fox spirit items and noticed that you wanted to purchase the Nine-tailed Flame Fox’s Heart worth 100 million. So, I thought I’d remind you, after all, 100 million is a huge amount for young members.” Lord Yu said.
As Lord Yu said this, Chu Mu immediately fell into deep thought.
“Young Master, you plan to partic.i.p.ate in The World Decree, right?” Lord Yu didn’t continue the topic, but turned to the topic of The World Decree.
“Yes.” Chu Mu nodded.
“Then will the young master represent Soul Hall, or partic.i.p.ate as an individual?” asked Lord Yu.
“Is there any difference?” Chu Mu asked.
“If you represent Soul Hall, I can nominate you for the candidacy now. As long as you can prove your strength in front of the Ten Palace Masters three months before The World Decree, we’ll arrange you in a team. You can also exercise your privileges as a young master and select your own team members. Many young experts would still be willing to serve you. Other young masters do the same… Of course, it would be better if someone is loyal to you after Her Highness the Venerate returns and publicizes your ident.i.ty…” Lord Yu said.
“Don’t all the other young masters work together to compete for the Soul Hall’s young generation? Isn’t it a combination of the strongest young members of the Soul Hall to fight for it?” Chu Mu asked in surprise.
“It depends on their relations.h.i.+p. All the young masters are disobedient. Among them, the Fifth Young Master partic.i.p.ated alone and didn’t need any members. The Third Young Master has been training with his team members to partic.i.p.ate five years ago. If the young master wants to partic.i.p.ate alone, there is no problem, as long as the young master can make it to the end…” said Lord Yu.
“I don’t know much about The World Decree. I’ll consider this issue after I have a deeper understanding.” Chu Mu said.
“That’s fine… If there’s something you want to avoid, I suggest you either work alone or on your own, so it’s more convenient.” Lord Yu said with a meaningful look.
Chu Mu’s expression changed slightly, looking at the calm Lord Yu, he quickly understood the meaning of Lord Yu’s words.
Of course, Chu Mu couldn’t admit it, and he pretended to be naive.
Lord Yu didn’t pursue the matter further, as he couldn’t be sure if this young master was the half-demon he suspected.
“Young Master Chu is at the Sixth Level t.i.tle, right?” Lord Yu owed Chu Mu a favor, so naturally, he would not delve further.
“Yes, Lord Yu, do you have a way to help me quickly improve my t.i.tle?” Chu Mu asked.
“Well… According to the rules within the hall, no one in any position can give special privileges to the young members. If the young master wants to achieve a higher t.i.tle, you have to rely on your own efforts, which will be the most helpful for your growth.” Lord Yu knew that Chu Mu had just joined Soul Hall, so he explained the situation specially.
In fact, Soul Hall’s approach seemed to be somewhat unsympathetic, but it was also correct. If a Soul Pet Master were to obtain their Soul Pets and spirit items through the power behind them, then even if they possess top-notch Soul Pets, they would be nothing more than a third-rate Soul Pet Master, and they would not know how to maximize their strength.
“Alright, I’ll figure it out on my own.” Chu Mu said.
“Young Master Chu’s strength should not be only what it appears to be. What I can do is to help you find a way to gain the value of a Level 7 t.i.tle. You should be familiar with outdoor practice, right? If you feel you have the strength, I can help you choose a Level 7 bounty within the hall. After completing the bounty, you will be able to obtain the Level 7 t.i.tle value. As long as the young master pays the corresponding contribution amount and completes the transaction of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox’s Heart, you can get the Level 7 t.i.tle.” Lord Yu said.
“A seventh-level bounty, how much is the reward?” Chu Mu asked.
“A regular seventh-level bounty reward.” Lord Yu said.
Chu Mu hesitated. If he took the seventh-level bounty now, it would not be worth it for him to rush 30 million long distances. Chu Mu also asked, “Are there any eighth-level bounty within the hall?”
Lord Yu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but immediately closed it decisively, his expression appearing somewhat strange…
In fact, the bounty Lord Yu mentioned was issued by him. Lord Yu’s Mingxian Hall needed a hundred Eighth Stage Chaos Thunder Feather Demon’s Internal Organ Crystals from the Seventh-level Mist Realm as one of the medicine lead for the newly born Misty Immortal Bird to survive.
The difficulty of this bounty was not too great, as after all, the Chaos Thunder Feather Demon was only a low-level Commander-level Soul Pet, but completing it would yield the Seventh Level t.i.tle value given by Mingxian Hall.
This bounty was quite difficult for the younger generation. If Chu Mu had no connection with the half-demon, Lord Yu would naturally worry about whether Young Master Chu could complete it.
Just as Lord Yu was considering whether to give Chu Mu some covert a.s.sistance, so that Young Master Chu could smoothly obtain the Seventh Level t.i.tle value, the young Chu Mu calmly asked, “Are there any Eighth Level inner hall bounties?” Lord Yu decisively suppressed what he was about to say next…
“Young Master Chu, are you talking about Eighth Level inner hall bounties?” Lord Yu felt that he might have heard wrong and decided to confirm again.
“Yes, I know my strength isn’t enough, but I want to try it out…” Chu Mu said.
“There are Eighth Level inner hall bounties, but the danger level is very high. And, t.i.tles of Eighth Level cannot be obtained through inner hall bounties since it may be solved by external forces… Of course, obtaining Seventh Level t.i.tle value is not a problem, and the reward is also the reward for the Eighth Level inner hall bounties.” Lord Yu responded after a moment of stupor.
“Then Lord Yu…” Chu Mu obviously wanted to skip levels through Lord Yu’s connections!
Chu Mu also knew that obtaining an Eighth Level t.i.tle wouldn’t be easy, but first, taking on an Eighth Level bounty and addressing the issue of 400 million funds was his priority.
“Since Young Master Chu requests it, I will order my subordinates to show you. But the team members you choose must have superb abilities so as not to put yourself in any danger.” Lord Yu said.
“You can rest a.s.sured, Lord Yu, I won’t do anything reckless.” Chu Mu immediately nodded.
Lord Yu helplessly shook his head, as he hadn’t expected Young Master Chu to be so ambitious. Among the entire Soul Hall, he could count the number of young members who could independently complete Eighth Level inner hall bounties on one hand…
“Young Master, you need to find reliable teammates. It would be best to see if the Beauty Legs Girl is already in World City. With her there, your safety is guaranteed. At least when facing creatures like the Ninth-Stage Horror Wolf, it won’t be so tragic…” Fox Elder said.
“It’s not easy to find her. I can only hope that she comes to Soul Hall to find me.” Chu Mu had already ordered one of the hall members to leave a message for him. If Ye Qingzi came to look for him in Soul Hall, this member would pa.s.s the message.
“Do you plan on completing the Eighth Level bounty alone, Young Master?” Fox Elder asked.
“Yes.” Chu Mu nodded.
Fox Elder was speechless.
Lord Yu must have subconsciously thought that Chu Mu was going to form a team to complete the Eighth Level inner hall bounty. If he knew that Chu Mu intended to complete it alone, his facial expression would have been the same as Fox Elder’s…
“Let’s not talk about that for now. Fox Elder, do you think there’s anything odd about that Demon Fox Spirit Item trade that Lord Yu mentioned earlier?” Chu Mu’s expression became a bit more serious.
“It might just be a crafty merchant using the market as a means to manipulate something, it’s not a big deal. As Lord Yu said, the transaction is done within the Soul Hall and there’s no chance of foul play.” Fox Elder stroked his steel-wire-like beard as he spoke.
At first, Chu Mu thought the same, but upon further reflection, he felt that something was amiss.
Lord Yu had mentioned before that someone had intentionally bought all the high-level Demon Fox Spirit Items and then, through their own hands, sold them to various factions. When the other party confirmed the purchase, they would intentionally delay the process…
This made Chu Mu feel like someone was deliberately throwing out bait, luring people who specifically needed Demon Fox Spirit Items to take the bait…
“Could it be Xia Guanghan?” Chu Mu murmured to himself.
Now, only Princess Jinrou and Xia Guanghan knew that Mo Ye could undergo consecutive mutations. Princess Jinrou was just a member of the younger generation, and although she had a high status within the Nightmare Demon Palace, the power she wielded was probably less than Xia Guanghan’s. In addition, due to Liu Binglan’s a.s.sociation, unless she reported the matter to someone at a higher-level, she definitely wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
On the other hand, Xia Guanghan had schemed and plotted behind Princess Jinrou’s back, tightly guarding the secret to selfishly monopolize the immense benefits. He must have guessed that Chu Mu would come to World City to partic.i.p.ate in The World Decree, so he started to cast a wide net, hoping to lure Chu Mu…
If it wasn’t for Lord Yu’s admonition, Chu Mu would have indeed fallen into the trap without any precaution. Though Chu Mu wouldn’t be foolish enough to trade outside the Soul Hall, his ident.i.ty would definitely be exposed through such means!
“Xia Guanghan, it seems that we’ll have to settle this in World City!” Chu Mu knew that he had to keep an eye out, as the cold-faced executioner was already sharpening his knife! (To be continued.
