Chapter 573: Chapter 444: The Dragon Race Without a Soul

“Don’t bother.” A voice unexpectedly emanated from the back ridge of Qingzhe Dragon.

During Chu Mu’s internal shock, he suddenly realized that there was a man standing on the back of Qingzhe Dragon.

This man hopped down from the elevated back of Qingzhe Dragon to the ground. His words were not directed towards Chu Mu, but towards Qingzhe Dragon itself!

From this man’s expression and tone, Chu Mu could sense that the man who was riding the Qingzhe Dragon didn’t consider him at all, but instead simply made the Qingzhe Dragon full of malicious intent feel he was not a threat.

The Qingzhe Dragon turned its skull, its cyan eyes full of resentment and fierceness stared at Chu Mu, then it slowly turned its skull back.

The body of this Qingzhe Dragon was only ten meters long, but the aura of the dragon race was still extremely intimidating. When the gates of the Holy Territory opened, the holy guards showed a touch of horror at the sight of the Qingzhe Dragon!

The man didn’t pay much attention to Chu Mu. As he recited a spell, he took Qingzhe Dragon, which had an intimidating presence, into his Soul Pet Space. He then headed toward the Holy Territory Gate with a sharp vigor.

Chu Mu remained standing in place, watching the man step by step towards the golden Di Sheng Holy Domain Hall.

The man had an inherent arrogance and indifference; even those highly positioned Soul Hall Holy Guards were merely ordinary guards in his eyes.

He impatiently handed his Soul Capture Ring and Space Ring over for inspection by the Soul Hall Holy Guards. Then, maintaining a high-status demeanor, he moved up the stairs. He didn’t show any courtesy towards the senior Soul Hall Holy Guards along his path, nor did he even bother to look directly at them!

“Young Master, that is a ninth rank high order Qingzhe Dragon. The Qingzhe Dragon’s race is classified as a High-Level Monarch, but in reality, their combat power level has reached that of a Peak Monarch. So, even when they restrain their aura, their Monarch’s aura is still incredibly dominant.” The slow voice of the Fox Elder began to resonate.

Chu Mu remained still. Despite the Fox Elder not making it explicitly clear, he understood that the Qingzhe Dragon likely emerged from one of the split dragon eggs of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon!

The Soul Alliance had controlled the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon for a long time. During this period, every time the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon went into hibernation, it would split out a worm egg. The Soul Alliance also very dominantly claimed these eggs from the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, making them their own Soul Pets!

Undoubtedly, the man who had just passed by Chu Mu was definitely a member of the Soul Alliance and held a high status within their ranks; otherwise, the Soul Alliance would never gift such a rare Qingzhe Dragon to him!

A Soul Pet Trainer of the Soul Alliance who has a Qingzhe Dragon!

…

When Chu Mu initially encountered the Little Green Worm, a minature incarnation of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon facing a crisis, the little creature was easily pleased as long as it was given food.

It only spat silk threads, had no aggression, and held no memories; it merely depended on Chu Mu. Chu Mu initially thought this was due to the critical weakening of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon causing it to lose its memory.

But knowing now that Memory Liquid exists, Chu Mu realized that when the Little Green Worm first returned to its most primitive state, it wasn’t because its skills caused it to seal its own memory. It was entirely due to the Memory Liquid’s poison, rendering its memory a complete blank!

The Soul Alliance could not truly control the mind of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon. Therefore, during the decades of enslavement, the Soul Alliance constantly fed the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon Memory Liquid, erasing its memory.

The escape of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon from the control of the Soul Alliance was likely because some deep-seated memories suddenly surfaced one day. It broke out from the encirclement of the Soul Alliance, fled to the remote West Region, and escaped to the most peripheral territories of the Nightmare Demon Palace on Nightmare Demon Island. Eventually, due to severe injuries and memory loss, it hid from its enemies in its most primal form.

The acts of the Soul Alliance, using Memory Liquid to continuously brainwash and erase the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon’s memory, was a tremendous trampling on the life, soul, and dignity of the Dragon Race. It was a serious corruption against humanity!

Chu Mu is a Soul Pet Trainer who persists in his own principles. It is because of his principles that he was able to truly feel the emotions of Soul Pets. To Chu Mu, the actions of the Soul Alliance were simply infuriating!

Thus, Chu Mu held a deep grudge against the Soul Alliance from the beginning to the end, whether it was his father’s tragedy or the hardships of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon!

Now, a Soul Alliance man who controls the offspring of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon appeared in front of Chu Mu. After Chu Mu went through the baptism of the Holy Spring Green Blood, it could be said that he received the heritage of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon. When he looked into the eyes of the Qingzhe Dragon, apart from killing and obedience, Chu Mu felt no other emotions from the dragon!!

If it was a Soul Pet that had been carefully raised since childhood, that had grown up together with the Soul Pet Trainer and willingly signed the Soul Pact with the Soul Pet Trainer, the pupils of the Qingzhe Dragon would not only have these two things. They should have the instincts and dignity of being a high-level creature. Even If they signed the soul contract with the Soul Pet Trainer, they should also have their own soul.

But for this Qingzhe Dragon, Chu Mu saw no spirit in it. What he saw was just a mindless, emotionless shell with destructive power, wandering around as if it was dead!

The only explanation for this situation is that the man used the Memory Liquid to forcibly bind a soul pact with the Qingzhe Dragon, reducing it to his slave!

The soul pact between humans and soul pets inherently involves domination and the subjugation of the weak by the strong, with humans always exerting control. However, any soul pact signed between a Soul Pet Master and a Soul Pet requires the Soul Pet’s consent.

Some Soul Pet Masters who are keen for quick results use Memory Liquid on Soul Pets. Chu Mu may turn a blind eye to this, considering that different people have different ways to strengthen and acquire Soul Pets. For them, it’s normal to crush the spirit and memories of Soul Pets. This is their Soul Pet Master philosophy, which Chu Mu simply scoffs at.

Still, witnessing a proud Qingzhe Dragon succumb to the role of a slave for a man who seemed above everything and looking into the numb and painful eyes of the ferocious beast, Chu Mu felt rage burning within him!

It felt as though he was watching one of his own kind subjected to the abuse of a malevolent individual!

Chu Mu was certain that if the Qingzhe Dragon’s strength increased just a little bit, its soul, currently hidden under its brutal numbness, would wake up and flatly refuse to be controlled by that man!

“It should be the eldest brother of the dragon egg in our young master’s space ring. From what I remember, there are four other people who possess Qingzhe Dragons. Each one of them is a frighteningly powerful Soul Pet Master from the Soul Alliance. The man we just saw must be someone close to the level of a crown prince in the Soul Alliance; otherwise, he couldn’t possess a Qingzhe Dragon,” Fox Elder’s voice slowly reached him.

Chu Mu nodded, taking a moment to cool down.

No matter how intense the fury in Chu Mu’s heart, he remained rational. He probably couldn’t even handle that Peak Monarch Level Qingzhe Dragon right now.

So Chu Mu suppressed his feelings, waiting for the time to be right. Whether it was to kill this soulless Qingzhe Dragon or to save it, Chu Mu could not bear to let people from the Soul Alliance continue torturing Qingzhe Dragons like this. At least Chu Mu believed that the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon would have acted the same way had it seen this scene.

…

Chu Mu took a step forward, his footsteps laden with heavy determination, heading towards the Holy Territory Gate.

Upon stepping out of the Holy Territory Gate, Chu Mu quickly noticed the dissatisfaction on the faces of the Holy Guards. Clearly, the man controlling the Qingzhe Dragon had left these guards feeling disrespected and slighted.

The Holy Guards held one of the most sacred positions in the Soul Hall. They took their tasks seriously and professionally, with little room for personal emotions. But now, they seemed annoyed by that man from the Soul Alliance, which suggested just how repellent that person was.

However, when the Holy Guards noticed another young man walking out of the Holy Territory Gate and recognized his face, surprise washed over their faces.

They remembered that about nine days ago, a man in his twenties had stepped into the Di Sheng Domain. Quite a few members of the Soul Hall, including the old Spirit Masters and Palace Master Yu, had even showed up to “see him off.”

The Holy Guards didn’t say it outright, but they knew that Chu Mu’s chances of survival in this journey were close to zero. What shocked them was the fact that he had actually walked out alive nine days later.

Riddled with wounds and visibly exhausted, he still had a light in his eyes. Most importantly, he had lived to walk out again!

“You didn’t really go into the Di Sheng Domain, did you? The Di Sheng Domain is straight in line with the Holy Territory Gate…” The Holy Guards didn’t doubt Chu Mu from the perspective of looking down upon him. In fact, it seemed impossible for someone his age to venture into the Di Sheng Domain and live to tell the tale.

“I wandered around the thirty kilometers edge, here’s my space ring and Soul Capture Ring, containing a Twisted Spirit Root and a Ghost Spider Flower Demon Juvenile Pet,” Chu Mu handed over his space ring to the Holy Guards while he spoke.

Before the guard could even finish his sentence, his face reflected an even greater astonishment.

Not only did this young man actually step into the Di Sheng Domain, he managed to capture a Soul Pet and even dug up an expensive Spirit Item to bring back!!

“Who was that man just now? Do you know him?” While Chu Mu handed over his space ring and Soul Capture Ring to the guards for examination, he casually asked.

The guards were stunned for a long while. It wasn’t until Chu Mu asked the question a second time that they returned to their senses and replied, “If I’m not mistaken, that should be Li Huang of the Soul Alliance, the ultimate winner of the third-tier last session. He’s currently the most powerful youth of the first-tier, and also a strong contender for the ultimate honor of the first-tier.”

“Li Huang of the Soul Alliance…” Chu Mu muttered to himself, carefully memorizing the name.

“Well then, I’ll go notify Elder De. He has been inquiring if you had come out these past few days.” The guard put away his surprised face and quickly walked down the high staircase.
