Chapter 707
Chapter 597: Plan within Plan, Sinister Tian Ting
When night fell, Chu Mu walked out of his own room. Under the clear moonlight, cold air faintly emanated from Chu Mu’s body.
Chu Mu didn’t have much time, so after he got the Ground Immortal Ice, he immediately consumed it, and used his soul remembrance to slowly draw it into his soul, pus.h.i.+ng down the temperature of his soul.
Thankfully, the process wasn’t very long, and the effects of Ground Immortal Ice were incredibly apparent. If it were stretched on for too long, Chu Mu wouldn’t be able to execute his plan either.
After absorbing half the energy in the Earth Immortal Ice, Ning, who was connected to Chu Mu, also benefited greatly.
Though Ning only gained a sliver of energy after Chu Mu absorbed most of it, the Earth Immortal Ice was still an absolute treasure used to strengthen emperor rank soul pets. If a normal person consumed it, they would definitely get instantly frozen to death.
After the Earth Immortal Ice’s effects, Ning directly fell into deep slumber, needing a rather long process to absorb the soul items full of ice type energy.
Presumably, Ning’s fighting strength would increase greatly after it finished absorbing the Earth Immortal Ice energy that leaked from Chu Mu’s soul.
……
Tian Ting was very careful. After learning that Chu Mu wanted to do the exchange at Departed World Gates, he guessed that Chu Mu had other intentions, so he specially called Nightmare Palace elder Ye Tao to soul palace to preoccupy the elder, not letting the old fellow have a chance to attack. He also made sure Chu Mu could only go alone.
No matter how careful Tian Ting was, he wouldn’t have too much precaution towards Chu Mu, though.
Chu Mu utilized this mentality of Tian Ting’s, intentionally directing Tian Ting’s attention to the elder. This way, as long as he thought he had the elder preoccupied, he wouldn’t worry about the exchange at all.
Tian Ting doing this also affirmed the a.s.sumption that Tian Ting was the only one that knew about the secret.
After walking out of the room, Chu Mu summoned Night and ran towards Departed World Gates.
The reason Chu Mu selected Departed World Gates was to create the illusion that the half devil originated from the strange s.p.a.ce. This way, after killing Tian Ting, soul alliance couldn’t find their way to him even if they sent people to investigate.
After all, half devil itself was a very dangerous creation. No matter how Soul Alliance searched, they wouldn’t be able to find the origin of the half devil, neither would they find out that Chu Mu, a young generation compet.i.tor, was actually the half devil!
……
Once Chu Mu reached near the city gate, he specially stayed for a while.
After not too long, Old Li hurriedly ran over from afar.
"Young master, Tian Ting Residence has three spirit emperors, all of which are soul alliance members. Tianxia City main official - Ma Yilu, freelance expert Li Teng, and Nightmare Palace’s Jia Cunding. They’re the bottom of the pack in spirit emperors, but they are great enemies nonetheless to young master." Old Li said.
"Old Li, you think these people may know the secret?" Chu Mu said.
"Getting rid of them is safer because even if they don’t know the secret, they will know that you’re making the exchange with Tian Ting here." Old Li said.
Chu Mu nodded and patted Mo Xie on his shoulder.
In pitiful appearance, Mo Xie leaped off of Chu Mu’s shoulder. Under the moonlight’s s.h.i.+ne, it caused Mo Xie’s fur to s.h.i.+ne even more enchantingly.
Chu Mu knew that if he didn’t show up, Tian Ting probably wouldn’t show as well. So, Chu Mu left little Mo Xie near the city gate while he took a detour to reach Departed World Gates.
Departed World Gates was also known as Mirror Sword Mountain. Chu Mu didn’t specify their meeting location, but to hide from others, Chu Mu still went to the top of the mountain and slowly waited for Tian Ting to arrive.
On Mirror Sword Mountain’s east side, a group of strangely dressed people were swiftly approaching the Departed World Gates.
They all wore masks and black clothes, clearly not wanting anyone to know their ident.i.ty.
They rode seemingly normal soul pets, and didn’t look like very top tier experts, yet they knew how to hide under the moon and approach the Mirror Sword Mountain stealthily.
This group of people had Cheng Peng leading them!
