Chapter 637: Western Kingdom VS Western Marsh
The Charm of Soul Pets
Luo Region Sect
âLuo Region, Gangluo Cityâs Chu Family⦠Iâve never heard of them.â Kingdom Lord Luo Hei shook his head as he spoke.
âSenior Qiu has arrived here, yet is concerned about a no name small family. Itâs probably best to deal with the disaster problem first. The disaster this time has come from Western Marsh. and is a true third rank tribe. Just the two of us have limited strength. We hope that Senior Qiu will help.â said Merchant Allianceâs Sun Qiming.
Presently, in a wide and luxurious hall were three people. On the Lordâs seat was Western Kingdom Lordâs Luo Hei. Next to him was Merchant Allianceâs spirit emperor, Sun Qiming. Finally, there was the mysterious middle aged man who had gone to Gangluo City to inquire about the Chu Family.
âHelp me find out information about this family first. Then weâll speak about the other matters.â said the middle aged man.
This man didnât seem to care too much about the disaster. Clearly, he hadnât been sent by a faction to alleviate the disaster.
Luo Hei and Sun Qiming were both spirit emperors, however, from the way they treated this man, this manâs status was above theirs.
Of course, Luo Hei and Sun Qiming were thinking of ways to have this powerful man in front of them help deal with Western Marsh. If they werenât able to eradicate Western Marsh, how would they be able to obtain the spirit source?
âGangluo City, Chu Family⦠Hmm. Iâll immediately have a subordinate go inquire. Donât worry, weâll have news very quickly.â Luo Hei saw that Senior Qiu was very firm in his stance and immediately agreed to do so.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although Kingdom Lord Luo Hei had dispatched people to Seven Color City to do things, he had never bothered caring about who governed this city. Therefore, he never thought of Seven Color Cityâs Chu Family.
However, as a Kingdom Lord, it wouldnât be too hard to find a family in an eighth rank city, unless they had hidden their identities.
Quickly, he had people find out information from the various regions before ultimately being able to find out Western Regionsâ Seven Color Cityâs emerging Chu Family.
Simultaneously, when inquiring about the information, Kingdom Lord Luo Hei summoned an inner female disciple. This female disciple had come from Gangluo Cityâs Qin Family and seemed to know about the Chu Family.
âQin Menger, right? Is Seven Color Cityâs Chu Family the same family from Gangluo City that moved there?â Luo Hei watched this kneeling female disciple and asked her a question.
This was the first time Qin Menger spoke with the Kingdom Lord, and she was a bit nervous. She slightly nodded her head and said softly: âYes.â
Qin Menger often saw Chu Xing and Chu Ning in Tianxia City. From the two of them, she heard that the Chu Family had migrated to Western Regionâs Seven Color City; moreover, she had returned to Western Kingdom earlier than Chu Xing and Chu Ning.
Chu Mu had guessed another possibility for why Luo Region Sect went to help the Chu Family: Qin Menger may have written a letter to inform Luo Region Sect that he, the winner of the first gradeâs ultimate honor, had come from this small Chu Family. However, the truth was that Qin Menger didnât know that Soul Palaceâs Chu Chen was Chu Mu. She only knew from Chu Xing and Chu Ning that Soul Palaceâs Chu Chen had some blood relation with their Chu Family.
âWhere is Seven Color City?â asked the man surnamed Qiu.
âThis⦠itâs in Western Region⦠itâs the area most severely affected by the disasterâ¦â Luo Hei reacted somewhat slowly.
After hearing this, the man surnamed Qiu immediately changed expressions, and his chest began to heave.
Qin Menger sensed this man emit a terrifying aura, and hastily retreated a few steps. As for the two spirit emperors, their expressions changed when they sensed his mood was off.
âLuo Hei, youâre a Kingdom Lord, yet youâve let your entire southern side succumb to a disaster. Who is more trash than you?â the man coldly stared at the Kingdom Lord and unexpectedly berated him!
Luo Heiâs face immediately turned dark, but in front of Senior Qiuâs aura, he didnât have any intentions of talking backâ¦
Sun Qiming sat to the side with his mouth gaping. He wanted to say something, but didnât dare to say anything.
Qin Menger stood next to them, but was so shocked that she couldnât close her mouth. She never expected that the Kingdom Lord, who was the highest status person in Western Kingdom, would be berated as trash. Who on earth was the middle aged man in front of her?!
âDispatch troops tomorrow to enter Western Region, and eradicate the Western Marsh for me.â coldly said Senior Qiu.
âThis⦠Senior, our Western Kingdomâs strength is meager, and the opponent is a third rank tribeâ¦â Luo Hei swallowed his anger as he spoke.
âHmph, when the disaster arrived, what were the two of you doing?â Senior Qiu fundamentally couldnât be bothered with the administration of Western Kingdom. Whether Kingdom Lord Luo Hei did a bad or good job had nothing to do with him. However, the Chu Family had migrated to Western Region, which was the area affected most severely by the disaster. This immediately angered Senior Qiu like he was hit by a clap of lightning, and he began to vent on the Kingdom Lord.
âWe⦠we will try our hardest.â softly said Sun Qiming.
âYour hardest? Stop screwing around here!â Senior Qiuâs anger shifted to Sun Qiming.
There were two spirit emperors in Western Kingdom, yet when the disaster appeared, the two of them seemed to not have realized, and let the southern side of the kingdom completely be devoured. Even if it was a third rank tribe, they would still have the ability to resist it. Clearly, these two bastards had neglected their jobs.
Senior Qiu was clear that if it wasnât because Luo Hei was Old Luo Region Sectâs sect master and had received the favor of New Luo Region Sect and Great Luo Region Sect, he would have definitely been punished for this neglection.
âWe were waiting for assistance from Luo Region Sect.â Luo Heiâs face turned increasingly unsightly, and he had already berated Senior Qiu tens of times in his heart.
âHow long will it take before your crappy Luo Region Sectâs people will arrive? I canât be bothered to bicker with you two trashes. Tomorrow first thing in the morning, dispatch troops to the southern side and eradicate Western Marshâs tribe!â Senior Qiu immediately gave an order.
Luo Heiâs face darkened. He knew that this Senior Qiu had come from Soul Pet Palace. and was a Palace Lord level figure. He was a much higher ranked person than him; however, he was the one who called the shots in Western Kingdom. Thus, when Senior Qiu berated and ordered him, how could he feel comfortable?
Of course, even if he was extremely unhappy inside, he couldnât show it on his face. He forcibly smiled and said: âThis matter must be considered at length, we canâtâ¦â
âI will head into Western Region myself tonight. Tomorrow morning, if I donât see your troops and the two of you leading them, I will slaughter the two of you first!â the man harrumphed before turning and leaving.
Luo Hei and Sun Qiming were shocked, but could only helplessly watch Senior Qiu leave.
A moment later, Luo Hei discovered this female disciple still standing there. He glared at her and roared: âWhat are you still standing there for? Leave!â
Qin Menger was so frightened her face paled. She hastily bowed and left.
After leaving the great hall, Qin Menger guessed that Senior Qiu should be extremely concerned with the Chu Familyâs survival. Promptly, she chased after him.
In the great hall, Luo Hei and Sun Qiming were gloomy for a while. Finally, Sun Qiming spoke in a low voice: âIf this fellow takes action, the matter will be a lot more stable. However, the Chu Family heâs looking for is in Seven Color City which is very close to the spirit source⦠If he discovers the spirit source, with his temper, Iâm afraid it wonât only be one of us that gets screwed, but heâll expose the two of us.â
âDonât worry. The small Chu Family he was talking about was probably already annihilated by the Western Marsh. Him going to Western Kingdom is merely to blow off steam. Weâll just use him to get rid of those rather tricky emperors from Western Marsh⦠However, just in case, Iâll send troops to fight Western Marsh tomorrow, and you will take the opportunity to go around Seven Color CIty and into Barbarian Mountain Range. You will pretend to eradicate the leopard tribe there. This way, it will prevent that fellow from slaughtering his way from Seven Color City to Barbarian Mountain Range in anger. If he did that, he would definitely discover the spirit source.â said Luo Hei.
âWhy donât you go?â said Sun Qiming, slightly unhappy.
Barbarian Mountain Region still had a panther leopard tribe residing there. Moreover, he would have to pass through Western Marshâs line of defense to enter Seven Color City. If he encountered an emperor rank soul pet, his life would be in danger.
âI need to accompany that man named Qiu to eradicate the southern sideâs disaster. Thereâs no need to haggle about this. If he were to discover us, the two of us will spend the rest of our lives in prison!â said Luo Hei.
âOk.â Sun Qiming helplessly shook his head.
âAlso, get rid of all those who know about this spirit source secretâ¦â said Luo Hei.
âI know.â Sun Qiming waved his hand.
â¦â¦
Barbarian Valley.
After the great battle, Chu Mu spent two days resting.
Among his soul pets, aside from Zhan Ye and the Night Thunder Dream Beast, his other soul pets were extremely exhausted. This included Mo Xie who spent her time inside Chu Muâs soul pet space deep asleep.
Chu Mu understood that if Western Marsh were to arrive at this moment, he would have to rely on the Great Chu Familyâs masters and the Chu Familyâs members to guard the valley. He needed five or six days to recover his fighting strength.
âBrother Chu Mu, Brother Chu Muâ¦â at daybreak, the lively Chu Yishui ran into Chu Muâs tent.
âWhatâs the matter?â Chu Mu was using water to wash his face.
âOur messenger soul pet trainerâs messenger soul pet has flown out and attempted to make communication with the outside world. The outside world managed to write back and apparently, starting yesterday, the Kingdom Lord dispatched troops to fight against the disaster. Presently heâs already approached Western City. If the situation is optimistic, they should be able to reach Seven Color City within a week.â excitedly said Chu Yishui.
âOk, thatâs very good. Everyone can be saved.â a smile rose on Chu Muâs face.
Presumably the various large factions had already dispatched troops to fight against Western Marsh. If this was the case, Western Marsh wouldnât dare stay too long in human territory and would retreat soon.
When Western Marsh retreated and passed through Barbarian Mountain Range, they would definitely discover in great anger that the resources from the spirit source had already disappeared. They would only be able to futilely retreat.
âThe messenger soul pet trainer has already informed the outside world that us 30,000 people are still alive. They said that this was truly a miracle. Indeed, of Western Region, Xiling Region and Helang Region, the deaths are innumerable. Yet, our Seven Color Cityâs people in the most severely affected area, still survivedâ¦â as Chu Yishui spoke, her voice grew softer and softer. It was due to this disaster that the people from the three kingdoms had nearly all died. Just the thought was terrifying.
âDonât be too hard on yourself. Things will get better.â Chu Mu saw that she was extremely upset and consoled her.
âMhm. Thank goodness for Brother Chu Mu. Otherwise, we would have ended up like the other regions and killed by Western Marsh. Brother Chu Mu truly is our hero!â as she spoke, Chu Yishui suddenly embraced Chu Muâs neck and she left a kiss on Chu Muâs cheek.
Chu Mu still hadnât reacted when Chu Yishui quickly ran away. This left Chu Mu there just embarrassedly rubbing his cheek.
