The Charm of Soul Pets

Indeed, the Sect Master’s training grounds didn’t have a single guard.

Possibly no one could imagine that someone would run into a Sect Master’s territory.

Coming to the back mountain, the Imprint Valley didn’t have anyone in it to defend. This gave Chu Mu and Princess Jin Rou some convenience.

“Why are there no people guarding here?” Princess Jin Rou asked.

“If the space collapses, the turbulence will flow out of the tunnel and create mass destruction in this area. They don’t have anyone here possibly because of that.” Chu Mu said.

Without guards, Chu Mu and Princess Jin Rou walked straight up to the rock wall.

Princess Jin Rou knew the incantation. This incantation was gained from Heaven Boundary Monument’s sealed ancient texts. She even knew the incantations for all the other Sin Fox valley locations as well as their approximate distribution in the world.

“Someone is heading over, how much longer do you need?” Chu Mu asked.

Princess Jin Rou was still chanting an incantation. Her incantation was much longer than the one Xiao Xueang spoke. It was likely a generic incantation that was similar to a master key.

Princess Jin Rou didn’t reply and continued reading. The rock surface slowly revealed some glowing marks that became brilliant diagrams.

Chu Mu glanced around vigilantly. The people were getting nearer. In fact, he could hear them talking already.

“It’s rare that the mysterious elder Qin Guang would come to Divine Sect as a guest, why don’t we take things slow?” A middle aged man’s voice came.

“We don’t have much time.” The man named Qin Guang didn’t seem to like talking.

“Speaking of which, what is in this Imprint Valley that deserves the visit of elder Qin Guang….. Huh, who’s there!” The man roared as his eyes flashed!

Chu Mu was stunned. He didn’t expect to get caught by Divine Sect people red handed. With a closer look, Chu Mu’s face changed. He didn’t expect the person to be him of all people!

“New Moon Land King Chu Mu, heng, I think we have something we need to resolve!” Gate Master Han recognized Chu Mu and started laughing coldly.

Chu Mu cursed his bad luck. How was it that he met Gate Master Han. This person already knew that Han Erxing was killed by him. However, because of Sect Master Xiao’s restrictions, he didn’t dare to do anything. This time, getting caught gave him an excuse to act.

“Weng~~~~” At this moment, the spatial door completed, creating a brilliant tunnel that headed straight towards another dimension.

Chu Mu didn’t want to start a fight with Gate Master Han at this time and quickly pulled Princess Jin Rou through the spatial tunnel.

“Where do you think you’re going!” When enemies meet, they blaze with hatred. Gate Master Han couldn't just let Chu Mu run away like this.

An incantation sounded, and a massive tiger created by light beams appeared. Its size was the same as the rock wall and its aura wasn’t weaker than the Martial Cloud Dragon. It was at least a low class immortal rank organism!

“Houhou!!!!”

The light tiger roared and slammed its claw towards the spatial tunnel!

Immediately, the massive energy flowed through the spatial tunnel, its spiralling energy nearing the swiftly escaping Chu Mu and Princess Jin Rou.

Chu Mu turned around to look at the turbid energy. Making a fist with his right hand, he slammed a silver energy back behind him!

“Beng~~~~~”

The space erupted as the light tiger’s claw attack was scattered.

At the same time, the entire spatial tunnel was snapped into many pieces by the vibrations. Just when the Light Tiger wanted to chase after them, the spatial tunnel’s collapse meant it could no longer be accessed for a short while.

In reality, even if the Light Tiger decided to come in, Chu Mu wasn’t necessarily scared. In such a chaotic space, what organism could truly compete with an other type organism?

Passing through the spatial tunnel, Chu Mu and Princess Jin Rou safely arrived at the silent little valley.

Taking a breath, Bai Jinrou feigned anger, “Who was that, why did he look as if you killed his father the moment he met you?”

“He’s a Gate Master of Divine Sect, I killed his eldest son.” Chu Mu laughed bitterly.

“Ah?” Princess Jin Rou was just joking, but she didn't realize Chu Mu really had an irreconcilable act against him. Killing the eldest son was indeed not much different from killing the father.

“Let’s run away quickly. Once the spatial tunnel recovers, he’ll definitely send someone after us.” Chu Mu said.

“En.” Princess Jin Rou nodded.

……

Outside the rock wall, Gate Master Han’s face turned green and white.

“That young man, he’s pretty powerful, huh?” Qin Guang gazed deep into the chaotic spatial tunnel and said lightly.

Gate Master Han of course knew this as well. He knew his Light Tiger’s strength well. The opponent being able to easily dissipate his attack and even break the spatial tunnel in the process meant Chu Mu had a strength far beyond even what was revealed at the Outstanding Experts Competition!

Gate Master Han was even more certain that his son Han Erxing was killed by Chu Mu, despite not seeing what soul pet had resolved his Light Tiger’s attack.

“Elder Qin Guang, seeing as we’ve known each other for so long, can you help me with a small matter?” Gate Master Han said seriously.

“Gate Master Han currently holds heavy power within Divine Sect, what can you not accomplish?” Qin Guang said with interest.

“Since Elder wishes to enter Imprint Valley, then please help me kill that kid. If you bring back his head to me, I, Han Yan, will go all out on the matters you mentioned to me beforehand.” Gate Master Han said.

How could he not attempt to avenge his lost son?

In Zhengming Main City, Sect Master Xiao and Magistrate Xiao were both protecting him and his New Moon Land. Han Yan coudln’t find a chance.

But now that Chu Mu was running into imprint valley, if he were to die within it, who would even know?

“Since Gate Master Han asks for it, Qin Guang will naturally go all out as well.” Qin Guang smiled slightly. However, in his mind he was secretly questioning this as well. What kind of hatred was between that young man and Gate Master Han, able to convince Gate Master Han to agree to his extremely stringent demands beforehand?

Qin Guang didn’t ask about it. He wanted only for Gate Master Han to help him using his authority. If he could get that through killing one person, it was an easy decision.

“I have some subordinates who will enter Imprint Valley too, they can be commanded by you.” Gate Master Han said.

“En, I will bring his head to you.” Qin Guang nodded.

“Elder Qin’s strength is something I, Han Yan, can trust.” Gate Master Han said politely.

As he spoke, Gate Master Han glanced at the slowly recovering spatial tunnel. With an incantation, he reopened the spatial doors.

Gate Master Han called over three subordinates to enter the Imprint valley with Qin Guang. Only when the four people left did Gate Master Han’s face slightly recover. He revealed a cruel smile, “You had a path to stay alive, yet you foolishly chose this path of death instead. I will bring your head as a sacrifice to my child!”

“Get some people, guard this exit!!” Gate Master Han waved his hand and commanded the divine sect disciples outside the valley.

The moment he spoke, a team of Divine Sect experts flew over and formed a rank in front of the rock wall!

……

“The Imprint valley doors only open at a certain time. In a little longer, the Imprint Valley will close. The next time it opens will be in a year. In a year, the Imprint Valley will become complete chaos. We have to time it well so that even if we can’t find Light King, we have to leave at a certain time.” Princess Jin Rou warned Chu Mu seriously.

“En, I know.” Chu Mu nodded back, equally serious.

It was very close to his wedding day. Chu Mu already gave up one chance to wed Ye Qingzi. He didn't want it to happen a second time.

After the valley, when they entered the third layer of the sky, Chu Mu’s spatial senses alerted him that there were signs of spatial collapses already.

When space starts cracking and collapsing, the flow of air becomes strange.

The moment they stepped into the Imprint Valley, the spatial winds slammed into them. They had only left Imprint Valley recently, yet it seemed as if it were a whole different world now.

Chu Mu clearly remembered the route still. Chu Mu first brought Princess Jin Rou towards the cultivation diagrams.

“Jin Rou, help me detect two organisms.” Chu mu said to Princess Jin Rou.

Princess Jin Rou’s detection was probably the strongest on earth. Her devil spirit wasn’t low in rank anymore, giving her a detection far stronger than a Spirit Immortal like Chu Mu.

“Ok.” Princess Jin Rou closed her eyes and started sensing based on Chu Mu’s descriptions.

Chu Mu told Princess Jin Rou to look for the Martial Cloud Dragon and Martial Cloud Dragon baby.

Having spent a few months with them, even if it were mostly passed through uneventful cultivation and sleeping, Chu Mu still couldn’t bear to see the cute Martial Cloud Dragon disappear in Imprint Valley.

“Do you sense them?” Chu Mu asked.

“En, they’re in that direction.” Princess Jin Rou nodded and pointed towards the light valley.

“They’re there? Perfect, we don’t have to take a detour then.” Chu Mu smiled.

They didn’t have much time in Imprint Valley so Chu Mu was worried the Martial Cloud Dragon had run away to a distant place.

“But there seems to be more people there too.” Princess Jin Rou said.

“Let’s go see it first.” Chu Mu patted Night to tell it to speed up.

Night quickly accelerated, using the whistling winds to its advantage.

Chu Mu turned around to speak to Princess Jin Rou but found her arms around his waist, her face against his shoulder.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Mu asked.

“I found that I really enjoy this feeling of going on adventures with you. Let me tell you a secret. When you took me out of Jia City back then, I actually somewhat wished if you could fully abduct me…..” Princess Jin Rou smiled naively.

“I didn’t know I was that attractive.” Chu Mu nodded with thought.

“Shameless….” Princess Jin Rou rolled her eyes and continued, “At the time, my thought was that I would marry anyone who had the courage to take me away.”

“Alright.” Chu Mu laughed helplessly.

How could Chu Mu know that she was such a rebellious princess at the time?

Maybe, many people that seem unreachable but were restricted by many laws and customs actually have a heart of adventure.
