Chapter 622: Chapter 493: 1 Billion Compensation, Cunning Chu Mu
On the sixteenth day, the game organizers sent guards to escort all the contestants back to World City.
Of course, Chu Mu would not easily let the Female Sovereign go. After returning to World City, Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou separately reported to the top management of Soul Hall and Nightmare Demon Palace about the large number of assassins that infiltrated the World Decree.
As several guards of the World’s Contest Organizers had previously gone missing, they already sensed something wrong. However, to ensure the competition continues, this matter was not made public during the realm-breaking process, and only began to investigate one by one after the end of the Seventh Realm’s breaking.
“Indeed, it is a big conspiracy. Chu Mu, tell me the whole process of what happened in detail.” Palace Master Yu said with a serious expression.
Yu Palace Master had been targeting Hao Ting of the Business Association before, looking for various evidence of his crimes. Finally, during the Seventh Realm, their presence began to surface.
Chu Mu roughly described the encounter with the assassins and their plot to abduct Princess Jinrou, as well as revealing the frightening Emperor-level power of the Female Sovereign.
“You mean the Female Sovereign was manipulating the Di Sheng Flower?” Palace Master Yu asked with some surprise.
“She possesses the ability of the Di Sheng Flower.” Chu Mu emphasized.
Yu Palace Master was stunned and then quickly understood Chu Mu’s meaning. His eyes became very complex.
About the Female Sovereign possessing the ability of the Di Sheng Flower, Palace Master Yu didn’t ask too much. Chu Mu even felt that Palace Master Yu seemed to have heard about the Female Sovereign before.
“Does Palace Master Yu know about this woman’s existence from Teacher De?” Chu Mu asked.
“I know, but it’s just a rumor, and it might be related to something that happened more than a dozen years ago. At that time, I had just stepped out of the young generation, and I didn’t know much about this matter. I need to consult the elders.” Palace Master Yu said.
Since going to consult the elders, Chu Mu quickly found Teacher De.
However, this time Teacher De refused to mention it, clearly wanting to keep the sealed news of Soul Hall’s internal affairs secret.
“This matter has nothing to do with you. Just complete the realm breaking, and we will deal with it.” Teacher De said forcefully.
Chu Mu hesitated for a moment, wanting to tell Teacher De about signing the soul contract with the defecting girl…
“Young Master, only your father knows that you signed the soul contract with the defecting girl from Female Venerate Hall. Even the palace members do not know her identity. I think you should keep this matter secret for now. Moreover, even if you tell them, it is not certain that they will disclose the matter to you.” Fox Elder said.
Chu Mu had no choice but to abandon this idea.
…
As the unannounced young master of Soul Hall, Chu Mu naturally attracted the attention of Soul Hall during the realm-breaking process. Soon, elder-level figures from Soul Hall began putting pressure on the World’s Contest Organizers, insisting on dealing with the matter within the shortest possible time.
Similarly, Princess Jinrou’s status in Nightmare Demon Palace was extremely high, causing the upper management of Nightmare Demon Palace to angrily accuse the personnel of the World’s Contest Organizers.
Since the assassins infiltrated, it must have been due to the members of World’s Contest Organizers failing to maintain complete confidentiality. Otherwise, the assassins would not have ambushed in the unknown Mysterious Realm in advance. All the responsibilities naturally fell on the World’s Contest Organizers.
Under pressure from both major powers, the World’s Contest Organizers quickly investigated the matter, looking for the culprit. At the same time, the World’s Contest Organizers also compensated those players who were persecuted by the assassins.
Due to the strong attitude of the Nightmare Demon Palace, Princess Jinrou, whose soul was damaged, received a medium-grade monarch young pet and a large sum of compensation. Of course, such compensation would not be made public.
As for the World’s Contest Organizers’ dignity and authority, they would not make this matter public. After all, if it was, it might have a very serious impact on the entire World Decree competition. Compensation was given to the persecuted people as a form of reparation and to prevent them from spreading the matter.
Soon after, the results of the assassin incident were revealed.
However, the result caused Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou to frown as the blame for killing the competition guard was placed on Shen Yicheng. After a more detailed investigation and tracking, all the evidence that the World’s Contest Organizers had found on leaking secrets, mobilizing assassins, and colluding with forces, pointed to Shen Yicheng!
When all the blame was placed on Shen Yicheng, Chu Mu realized why the Female Sovereign had been retaining Shen Yicheng, who was clearly a scapegoat that was enough to protect her!
“Chu Chen, the World’s Contest Organizers cannot end the World Decree competition. In the upcoming realm breaking, there will be no assassins mingling in. For now, we have sent people to pay attention to the woman you mentioned. As long as she dares to use her power, we can find her.” Teacher De said to Chu Mu.
Although the Female Sovereign is powerful, Chu Mu previously considered the problem of continuing the realm breaking as long as she was around. Fortunately, some of the elders in Soul Hall had targeted her. As long as her ability of Di Sheng Flower was exposed, she would be attacked by the strong ones of Soul Hall in a short time.
Of course, Chu Mu can also be sure that she will not give up on the World Decree so easily. In the upcoming Eighth Realm, the Female Sovereign will surely complete the realm breaking through the contestants loyal to her.
“Furthermore, this is the compensation from the World’s Contest Organizers to you. The Healing Soul Bud is not available whenever you want, so for losing a soul, the World’s Contest Organizers can only compensate you with 1 billion.” Teacher De said.
“1 billion, isn’t that a bit too little?” Chu Mu felt that the compensation was somewhat small, as the Level Eight Healing Soul Bud was worth nearly 5 billion and was priceless.
“Do you think the World’s Contest Organizers are so easy to talk to? Be content with the 1 billion. You’ve lost one soul, so use this 1 billion wisely to strengthen your other soul pets, and don’t suffer any casualties in the upcoming challenges. That would have a huge impact on someone your age.” Teacher De said.
Chu Mu nodded and accepted the 1 billion in compensation.
After Teacher De finished speaking, he left directly.
Meanwhile, the expression on Ye Wansheng’s face, who stood by the side, was extremely strange. It was only after Teacher De left that, having held his breath for a long time, he pointed at Chu Mu and exclaimed loudly:
“Shameless! Such a shameless person!! Your soul pet clearly defected and lost one soul, yet you claim it was injured during the seventh realm, extorting 1 billion from the World’s Contest Organizers like that!!”
Chu Mu gave a dry laugh. Since the appearance of the Female Sovereign prevented him from obtaining the highest honor and lucrative rewards this time, he wouldn’t be able to strengthen his soul pets. So, when Chu Mu heard that the World’s Contest Organizers would compensate him for his loss, he immediately told the race members that he lost a soul.
Chu Mu did indeed lose a soul, and the World’s Contest Organizers’ members even specifically checked to find that Chu Mu’s first soul had no soul connection at all. Therefore, they gave Chu Mu the same amount of compensation as Princess Jinrou – 1 billion.
Since the first realm of The World Decree, Chu Mu had been struggling for hundreds of millions of rewards. Now, he easily got billions, which also proved that Chu Mu’s strength had changed significantly from before the competition.
1 billion could do a lot of things. Chu Mu first used it to increase the ability of the Demon Tree Warrior.
Chu Mu’s three main pets all possessed strong offensive capabilities, but the enemies they might face next could have extremely powerful Demon Spirits, Plants, Elements and even Undead creatures. If faced with psychic Demon Spirit soul pets, Zhan Ye would be completely useless. When confronting soul pets from the Plant World, Mo Ye would also be heavily restricted. That’s why Chu Mu had to develop comprehensively.
The Demon Tree Warrior and the Ice-Feathered Spirit had been continuously strengthened through spirit items recently. In fact, they now needed more battles to upgrade their stages. However, if they wanted to upgrade through spirit items, the amount of money they would have to spend on purchasing spirit items would be huge.
What Chu Mu needed now was to enhance the strength of his soul pets and didn’t mind spending a bit more money.
5 billion was given to the Ghost Dome King, and the remaining 5 billion was spent on purchasing Ice Element spirit items to strengthen the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
The enhancement process went smoothly. The Ghost Dome King successfully broke through the eighth Rank bottleneck and reached the Ninth Rank Second Stage in terms of strength.
The Ice-Feathered Spirit, already on the verge of metamorphosis and having consumed the 5 billion worth of pricey spirit items, advanced dramatically in power, reaching the Ninth Rank Third Stage and increasing its strength by nearly two levels.
Now, Chu Mu’s soul pets had all reached the Ninth Rank Lower Stage and Ninth Rank Intermediate Level in terms of strength.
Chu Mu’s High-Level Monarch White Demon served as his trump card in the three-against-four soul battles. In the upcoming Eighth Realm, Chu Mu would be able to contend against even those hidden powerhouses.
…
Due to the incidents in the Seventh Realm, the start of the Eighth Realm was delayed for some time.
After a series of adjustments, the organizers finally announced the challenge for the Eighth Realm.
“Tian Shou Mountain?”
Chu Mu was very surprised as there was no clear task to complete the Eighth Realm challenge, and only a location was marked!
Just giving a location, so how could they be considered successful in the challenge?
“We’re together.” Ye Qingzi, seeing Chu Mu’s name along with her own on Tian Shou Mountain, had a smile on her face.
Chu Mu nodded but didn’t feel thrilled about it.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Qingzi noticed the change in Chu Mu’s expression.
“I’m worried about my other major enemy. He set a trap for me in the Eighth Realm, and I don’t know what the trap is…” Chu Mu was worried that Ye Qingzi would be dragged into this matter.
During this time, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi’s relationship had developed to a certain extent, and Chu Mu didn’t want her to be hurt in any way…
“Two people are always better than one facing it alone. We agreed that we would help you with the challenges, and you would help me get my teacher’s last will.” A faint and elegant smile spread across Ye Qingzi’s face.
