Chapter 339: 216: Poisoned Ye Wansheng

The dead person was the son of one of the Seven Great Hall palace masters, and the one who plotted against him was Yu He, the eldest son of the Elemental Gate. The issue was already very serious; Lord Tang couldn’t believe that the situation was even more complex than this…

“Alright, alright. You handle it yourself, the young master is very busy and has no time to deal with this kind of proof-related matters,” Fox Elder said.

“This…” Lord Tang’s gaze quickly fell on Chu Mu, and the expression on his face became more respectful. He quietly said to Chu Mu,

“Young Master, I don’t have the authority to handle this matter. If the higher-ups ask why Yu He was believed to be the killer and you suddenly leave, it will be hard for me to deal with this as I can’t reveal your identity. After all, Lord Yu, Yu Lang’s father, is far away in World City, and it’s not possible to inform him in time…” Lord Tang said.

Chu Mu really couldn’t be bothered with the conflict between the Soul Hall and the Elemental Gate. Now that Ye Wansheng had been rescued, he didn’t want to waste any more time here.

Fox Elder quickly jumped in front of Chu Mu and said, “Young Master, this Yu He is very cunning. As soon as Qing Li returned to the Elemental Gate, he was killed by another subordinate sent by Yu He. That is to say, Yu He was already prepared to make this matter clean and not let anyone catch him in the act. Now you are the only witness.”

“Can’t the people of the Soul Hall handle this Yu He? Does he have that much power?” Chu Mu asked.

“Not really. It’s just that Yu Lang and Feng Ya were too careless this time and fell into a deadly trap, dragging you into this as well. As Yu He and Yu Lang are not ordinary people, it’s necessary for you to intervene in order to convict Yu He,” Fox Elder said.

“I don’t have the interest to waste time on this matter,” Chu Mu said.

“But if Yu He gets away unscathed, he will definitely cause trouble for you, and this will be an obstacle to your focused cultivation. I think you need to go to the Zhanli Realm’s Boundary City – Li City once. There, you can directly accuse Yu He of being the mastermind. The seven Great Hall palace masters are already furious, and no matter whether there is direct evidence or not, as long as you testify, no one will dare to protect Yu He,” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu frowned, “Are you saying that I have to accompany them all the way to Li City?”

“No need for that, you can go on your own way and continue your journey. Anyway, going to World City must pass through Li City. They are responsible for escorting Yu He to Li City. By the time you arrive in Li City, the Seven Great Hall palace masters should be there as well. Just reveal your identity a little and say a few words. Even if you make things up, with your identity as the Young Master, there won’t be many people who dare to contradict you. With that, the matter is settled and you can decide whether to continue your journey at a leisurely pace or join the Seven Great Hall palace masters to World City,” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu didn’t like to get involved in power struggles during his journey, but he also knew that as his strength increased, he would inevitably get involved in such matters. It was time to establish some connections with the people of the Soul Hall…

“Alright then, let’s set the next destination as Li City. Oh, Li City is a Boundary City, right?” Chu Mu asked.

“Yes, the prosperity of Boundary City is actually very suitable for you to visit. Walking around and, if you have enough money, you can buy a lot of things suitable for your Soul Pets. Moreover, there are many young experts there. If you want to establish your own reputation, you can challenge members of other powers. It will be quite helpful for you,” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu nodded, thinking that this method was feasible. In any case, improving his strength was the most important thing.

Seeing that Chu Mu agreed, Fox Elder immediately jumped to the side and started communicating with his Soul Sense to Lord Tang, “Old Man Tang, I have done you a great favor. Now all you have to do is escort Yu He to Li City and hand him over to the Soul Hall officials there. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”

Just as Lord Tang was about to speak, Fox Elder said, “I spent a lot of effort persuading the busy young master to go to Li City to handle this matter. Think about it, if the young master doesn’t care about anything and just goes away, this matter will give you a headache for quite some time, and your position as a Ninth-Level palace master might not even be guaranteed. So, shouldn’t you thank me for my generous words?”

“Of course, of course, Illusion Elder, I really appreciate your help this time,” Lord Tang said with a strange expression, but still forced a smile.

“Gratitude through words?” Fox Elder said meaningfully.

Lord Tang’s face turned black…

Chu Mu caused quite a commotion in the Soul Hall, but many people present seemed to know that he was either the Young Master of the Soul Hall, or a subordinate of the Young Master, so he was a person of considerable status. Nobody dared to stop Chu Mu from coming and going from the Soul Hall, and Lord Tang was extra cautious, specially having old Zhao Yi accompany Chu Mu to prevent any accidents.

With the matter resolved, Chu Mu went to see how Ye Wansheng was doing. Following Fox Elder’s instructions, Chu Mu walked through several streets and quickly found Ye Qingzi, who was busy concocting potions in a pharmacy.

“You’re here…” Ye Qingzi’s pale face showed a smile, looking a bit weak, as if her eyes were slightly red.

Spirit Masters needed to consume Soul Power to concoct potions. Ye Qingzi’s pale face was probably due to excessive consumption of Soul Power.

It seemed that Ye Qingzi had rented the entire pharmacy. Chu Mu went to the back room and saw a bed under the sunlight in the courtyard. A young man with a blackened face was lying on the bed.

“”Ye Wansheng?” Chu Mu looked at the young man, his face showing astonishment.

Ye Wansheng wasn’t bad-looking, occasionally even attracting the attention of some women. However, his entire face was now completely covered in blue-black blisters, making it difficult to discern his features. He looked downright disgusting…

Originally a carefree youth, he now resembled a rotting corpse. It was hard for Chu Mu to imagine what kind of torture he had undergone… No wonder the usually strong and calm Ye Qingzi’s eyes were red. Even Chu Mu felt a bit sad seeing this.

“Is… is… Chu Chen… Chu Chen, right?” Ye Wansheng was lying on his back, his eyes could only see the sky, and his somewhat rotten mouth was clearly struggling to speak.

“Yeah, are you okay?” Chu Mu nodded, then felt that his question was somewhat redundant.

He was already in such a state, how could he be okay? Chu Mu was certain that Ye Wansheng must have suffered inhuman mistreatment, and it was very likely that if this continues for a few more days, he would be completely corroded by these bugs and poison.

“Sigh… I’m already like this… these days… you’ve been with my sister, right…” Ye Wansheng spoke slowly.

“I think you’d better not talk, there’s something coming out of your mouth…” Chu Mu said.

“It’s… it’s fine, if I don’t say it now… later… later I might not have a chance…” Every time Ye Wansheng opened his mouth, disgusting black foam came out. Fortunately, Chu Mu had experienced all kinds of hardships and wouldn’t vomit because of this strangeness.

“My sister… my sister is… a good girl… after I’m gone… you… you must take good care of her… I’ll leave her to you…” Ye Wansheng’s voice grew weaker and weaker, and he finally closed his eyes…

Chu Mu was stunned, feeling a bit strange…

Ye Qingzi had already prepared the medicine and walked over gracefully. She obviously heard what was said just now and spoke angrily: “You’re still in the mood to joke around at this point!”

Ye Qingzi was angry, and Ye Wansheng’s eyes immediately opened again. His face, covered in blue-black blisters, seemed to be smiling, but it looked extremely sinister.

Ye Qingzi glanced at Chu Mu, regained her composure, and said, “He won’t die, but his body has been severely affected by the poisonous insects. He needs to be treated with a large amount of medicine, or else his body will continue to rot. I’ve already asked the pharmacist here to go to the business district to purchase some.”

“Oh, if he’s fine, that’s good.” Chu Mu was somewhat speechless about Ye Wansheng’s situation. He was like a rotting, black corpse, yet his thoughts were still so agile.

“Hehe… Chu Chen… just now… did I… make you happy for nothing?” Ye Wansheng stared at the sky, swallowed the disgusting foam back, and made a difficult sneer.

“Leave him out here in the sun, which will help control the toxicity. Don’t talk to him anymore, he never knows when to stop.” Ye Qingzi pulled Chu Mu away and went into a room nearby.

Chu Mu looked at Ye Qingzi’s slightly haggard and sad face and said solicitously, “Now that he’s okay, you can get some rest.”

Ye Qingzi shook her head and whispered to Chu Mu, “His poisoning is too deep, and he needs a large amount of medicine and spirit items. I’m worried that there won’t be enough of these medicinal herbs in Colorful Dome City. If we don’t control it properly, it will cause serious damage to his body…”

“Then let’s visit a few more cities to buy what we need.” Chu Mu said.

Ye Qingzi nodded, fell silent for a moment, then looked up at Chu Mu with her eyes that were slightly moist, and asked, “I seemed to have noticed some movement in the Soul Hall before I left, what happened?”

Chu Mu briefly explained what happened when he met Yu He and how he dealt with him before reporting it.

Hearing about Yu He, Ye Qingzi’s eyes grew colder, and she exuded an icy aura.

“He killed my brother’s Battle Court Black Beast and turned my brother into this state. We must not let him off easily!” Ye Qingzi said coldly.

“Yeah, I plan to go to Li City to meet with some high-ranking members of the Soul Hall and resolve the issue with Yu He.” Chu Mu explained his plan to go to Li City.

Ye Qingzi also knew that it would be difficult to kill Yu He directly, and it would also cause a lot of trouble for them. She agreed to go to Li City with Chu Mu.

As they talked, the pharmacist of the potion shop had returned and found Ye Qingzi.

“Miss Ye, this is all I could find. Even if you go to the Domain City, it would be difficult to find the 500 portions of these medicinal herbs that you need. In my opinion, the only way to gather that many herbs in a month is to go to the Yuan Forest…” The young Spirit Master glanced at Chu Mu before speaking to Ye Qingzi.
