Chapter 387: Chapter 263: Searching for the Qingzhe Dragon

Translator: 549690339

Five people form a team, representing Soul Hall. In fact, Chu Mu only brought four people with him, which included Chu Mu himself, the Ye family siblings, and Dongqing who also wanted to kill Yu He.

Although there was still a vacancy, Chu Mu did not want the young experts of Soul Hall to participate. This was because his main mission this time was not to find the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, but to protect the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon and kill Yu He at the same time.

“Chu Chen, where do you think we should start searching? Li City is so big, and those major powers have sent out so many experts to search for so long, but they haven’t found it yet. I don’t know if we, the younger generation, can really find that Qingzhe Dragon,” Dongqing said.

“Let’s start looking in the West Street District. There’s a higher probability there,” Chu Mu replied.

Chu Mu speculated that the gluttonous insect monster might have accidentally stuck to the white silk of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon. Since it had been wandering in the West Street District, it meant that the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon was likely hidden somewhere in the West Street District.

The Azure Sky Hidden Dragon could change its body size. If it wanted to avoid attracting attention, it would likely have pupated more discreetly. Perhaps the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon was in a deeper part of the West Street District’s sewer system.

“That’s true, but do any of you have Rock Type soul pets? I remember that under the sewer is Li City’s oldest underground relic. In the past, some scholars went deep into it to find ancient soul pet fossils and create ancient soul pet illustrations. However, as time has passed for thousands of years, the underground relics have gradually been buried in sand and soil, and many underground passages have become blocked. Without a Rock Type soul pet to clear the way, it’s possible to get trapped and die inside,” Dongqing said.

In the past, the search targets of major powers were mainly focused on the sealed underground ancient relics in Li City. However, Li City was huge, and the structure of the ancient relics underground was complicated. It was still difficult to find the shape-shifting Qingzhe Dragon.

“So there’s an ancient relic under the City of Li. This is the first time I’ve heard of it. Maybe there’s something good inside, like ancient soul armor, ancient soul pet fossil eggs, lost mysterious soul techniques…” Ye Wansheng thought, his mind wandering to these possibilities.

“You’re thinking too much. The ancient relic is the old site of Li City, not some so-called ancient relic. It just has some underground passages remaining. Even fighting there could be somewhat difficult,” Dongqing explained.

Ye Wansheng immediately became dispirited.

“Chu Chen, how do you plan to deal with Yu He?” Ye Qingzi asked.

“Maybe he’s thinking about how to deal with us, especially since he likes to play with conspiracy and trickery…” Chu Mu replied.

After the gluttonous insect monsters were cleaned up, the residents of West Street gradually moved back in, and the number of city guards in West Street also increased, making the residents feel safer.

Chu Mu and the others entered the sewer of West Street District early in the morning. Since the sewer had been flushed with water, Chu Mu was afraid it would be difficult to find where the gluttonous insect monster had picked up Azure Sky Hidden Dragon’s white silk. The only option was to search thoroughly.

“No wonder we filled the sewer with water for so long without filling it up completely. It turns out that these gluttonous insect monsters have dug up the sewer,” the four of them discovered that there were many traces of the gluttonous insect monsters digging up the sewer after entering it. Clearly, those gluttonous insect monsters were indeed searching for the Qingzhe Dragon.

“Fortunately, the old site of Li City is almost completely sealed. If they had dug through some places, they might have escaped from there, and no matter how much water we poured in, it would be useless,” Dongqing continued.

“Let’s go to the old site, these sewers have probably been explored by the gluttonous insect monsters,” Chu Mu glanced at the deep pit filled with water at his feet in the sewer.

This deep pit was also dug up by the gluttonous insect monsters. There were still two corpses of gluttonous insect monsters floating on top of it. They must have been left behind because of the pit and couldn’t be flushed down the river.

“Moon, drain the water,” Ye Qingzi summoned Water Moon and asked it to drain the water from the pit.

Water Moon, which had a transparent body like a jellyfish, slowly extended a finger. As a faint blue light appeared, the deep pool of accumulated water was quickly sucked up by Water Moon and then discharged in the direction of the river following the sewer…

What surprised the four of them was that the dug-up pit was very deep. Water Moon cast its spell for nearly five minutes before all the water was drained…

“Sword Sting, go down and take a look,” Ye Wansheng summoned his Seventh Rank Third Stage Sword Sting and asked the insect-type soul pet to enter Li City’s old site through the damp pit.

Many insect-series soul pets could easily dig through the earth, and some even lived underground. Ye Wansheng’s Sword Sting was clearly skilled in moving underground, climbing down the vertical pit as if on the flat ground.

“There’s no danger, let’s go down,” Ye Wansheng said after a short while.

Chu Mu knew that a certain dug-up passage in the West Street District must be very close to the God’s Innards of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, so he didn’t blindly search with the others in the old site, but instead went back to the underground tunnel after searching one of the underground pit passages, and then continued to look for the next pit.

Although everyone didn’t understand why Chu Mu wanted to search the relics visited by the gluttonous insect monsters to find the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, the Ye family siblings didn’t say anything. They followed Chu Mu’s search however he wanted.

As for Dongqing, she admires Chu Mu now and believes Chu Mu’s approach must have some merit…

For the entire day, the four of them spent their time in the countless pits of West Street District. They didn’t discover any valuable information, except for a few corpses of Gluttonous Insect monsters floating in the pits. As night fell, they stopped searching and returned to their respective lodgings to rest.

On the second and third days, Chu Mu persisted with his plan, searching the sewers of West Street District. However, there were simply too many pits to search individually, and it would take a considerable amount of time.

“There’s nothing here either. We’ll call it a day and return. What do you say?” Chu Mu recalled Zhan Ye to his Soul Pet Space. He glanced through the darkness at the other three still searching in this damp, old site.

“Calling it a day so early? We won’t be able to compete with others with such laziness.” Ye Wansheng said.

“I’m tired too…” Ye Qingzi said.

“Chu Chen, I heard that Yu He has formed an alliance with the young expert of Soul Covenant, Lu Ying.” Dongqing spoke.

“Yeah, I got this information from Soul Hall. Seems like this Lu Ying is one of your people from Li City?” Chu Mu nodded.

Soul Covenant doesn’t have a base in Li City. They have come with eight people, with the strongest, Xiao Ren, as their leader. The other six are also top experts in the soul pet world. Since they only have one young expert, Lu Ying, and are not particularly interested in the city master’s rewards, they have directly let Lu Ying join the Elemental Gate team.

“Lu Ying is from Li City, and has been colluding with Yu He for many years. After he joined Soul Covenant, he appeared less often in Zhanli Realm. It is said that he is quite famous in other Earth Realms, but I don’t know how strong he is now.” Dongqing said.

Chu Mu roughly understood the situation of Lu Ying and discussed it with Dongqing. He returned to Soul Hall to rest before planning to continue searching tomorrow…

Late at night

As usual, Chu Mu fed his White Nightmare Demon before starting meditating.

About halfway through the night, Chu Mu faintly felt someone in the courtyard. He opened his eyes, walked to the window, and lifted the curtains.

The rain had stopped in the second half of the night. The flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard were wet from the rain. A beautiful woman was sitting quietly under a white pavilion, supporting her cheek with her hand. She seemed to be lost in thought…

Chu Mu looked at her through the gaps in the window, hesitated for a moment, and then gently pushed the door open, walking towards the small pavilion.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Mu looked at Ye Qingzi, who was wearing a coat, and asked.

Under the backdrop of night and flowers, Ye Qingzi’s coat couldn’t hide her graceful figure, making her look like a blooming water lily in the night, charming and beautiful…

“I was waiting for you…” Ye Qingzi’s beautiful eyes gazed at Chu Mu, reflecting a beautiful luster even in the night.

“Waiting for me?” Chu Mu was surprised. He looked at Ye Qingzi up and down, noticing that under Ye Qingzi’s coat was a thin nightgown. She seemed somewhat lazy from sleep, with a few buttons undone, revealing her crystal-white skin. Although there was no sensual exposure, it did provoke the imagination of something wonderful deep within.

“Stop having dirty thoughts…” Ye Qingzi tightened her coat and said with a coy pout.

Chu Mu couldn’t help it when Ye Qingzi revealed her rare coquettish side…

Ye Qingzi quickly calmed down and watched Chu Mu, saying, “I feel like you’ve been behaving lately.”

“Hehe, I feel like you can always see through me.” Chu Mu laughed.

“Don’t change the subject.” Ye Qingzi gave Chu Mu a charming glance, “I don’t want to dig too deep, but after all, it’s a Qingzhe Dragon, and I don’t want to follow you blindly searching for it, especially when you don’t say anything.”

Chu Mu forced a smile, it seemed there were few things that could escape Ye Qingzi’s eyes…

Seeing Chu Mu not speaking, Ye Qingzi hesitated for a while and asked tentatively, “I have a feeling you already know where that Qingzhe Dragon is…”

Chu Mu was speechless for a moment, secretly thinking that Ye Qingzi must have the ability to read his thoughts. How could she see through him so easily? Especially since he tended to be the kind of person who rarely expressed his emotions, no matter what he encountered. He wondered how this woman could figure it all out. (To be continued.
