Chapter 835: Chapter 702: Immortal Chaos, The Dragon in Sheep’s Clothing.
Immortal City
Chu Mu’s breathing became rapid. Such a massive threat from a sealed world caused even the strongest of hearts to struggle to maintain their calm and composure.
“Young Master, the method Her Highness the Venerate shared with you requires a sacrifice. It is an ancient secret technique of the Di Sheng Flower, involving the blood of the closest person to resurrect someone whose body, soul, and consciousness are all intact …” Fox Elder explained to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu nodded somberly, as he had guessed that there would be no true resurrection technique in this world. Even if there was, it would require a great sacrifice of life.
Chu Mu hoped to survive, as he still had an unattainable peak ideal.
However, he was even more reluctant to wake up and never see his mother again, despite her previous shortcomings as a mother…
...It could be said that when Liu Binglan made the difficult choice, she also handed Chu Mu a cruel option.
“Miss Shan, think carefully now. Is there really no other way out in Immortal City? Isn’t there another way to obtain Decay Energy besides being sealed?” Chu Mu asked Miss Shan sternly.
Miss Shan hesitated for a moment. Overwhelmed with despair, she was already trembling in fear, just waiting for the Oath Beasts and Sealed Creatures to arrive, and then die.
However, what Miss Shan couldn’t understand was how the man before her still hadn’t given up even now. Didn’t he know that in the chaotic Immortal City, they were like helpless lambs?
Chu Mu’s determined and cold eyes left Miss Shan a little dazed, and it also slightly lifted her from the shadow of despair.
Still, Miss Shan shook her head and slowly said, “There’s no other way out. There was something that could provide decay energy instantly, but now it’s gone.”
Now, there are two ways to survive. The first is to find another exit, and the second is to obtain the Prisoners’ Decay Energy and become one of them.
When Chu Mu heard that there was something that could increase Decay Energy, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, “What is it, and is it in Immortal City?”
The closer Miss Shan got to death, the more calm she became. This was a kind of extreme mental reaction.
She looked at Chu Mu, who seemed to have found a glimmer of hope, and shook her head helplessly: “Your will to survive is so much stronger than a normal person’s. You’ve crossed Immortal City before, and now that the city gate is closed, we’re just drifting leaves in the sea, yet you still don’t want to give up… But, I must tell you, we are very unlucky…”
“There was something in Immortal City that could give us Decay Energy. It was a treasure of your Soul Hall. If the senior who communicated with you earlier and has a Peak Emperor wanted you to survive, she could have guided you to obtain it. Then, we could have had Decay Energy on our bodies, hidden among the sealed creatures, and we would have had a chance to live.”
“However, this treasure was stolen. Just after the World Decree ended, it vanished without a trace. No one knows where it went, despite being so heavily guarded, even by high-level emperor creatures. To this day, no one has figured out how the thief stole it without alerting the guard creatures.”
After saying this, Miss Shan seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She sat on the ground, burying her head in her knees and turning her back to the approaching Oath Beasts, those countless fears in her eyes turns empty.
This is despair, the ultimate expression of desperation from a woman whose spirit has already collapsed.
Miss Shan didn’t even bother looking at Chu Mu’s expression, because she believed that after hearing her words, he would end up like her, regardless of how talented and promising he was, he would still die here in the end.
“I never thought that the person who would die with me would be you…” Miss Shan said with a bitter smile, her back to Chu Mu.
Miss Shan murmured to herself. She knew that Chu Mu’s unwillingness to face death was far greater than her own, considering he had four Emperor-level Soul Pets and one low-level Emperor at such a young age…
“Chu Chen?” Miss Shan said, questioning why Chu Mu hadn’t responded to her at all.
She subconsciously turned her head around.
“Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
At this moment, all the piled-up fears in Miss Shan’s heart were released as a sharp scream when she turned her head.
“You… what are you doing? Why… why did you suddenly summon a dragon?” Miss Shan’s heart was nowhere near as calm as it was when she was on the brink of death, and she easily showed her true colors when under slight intimidation.
“You mean the Eternal Spring Water is what grants Decay Energy, right?” Chu Mu asked.
“Yes.” Miss Shan nodded stiffly.
“We have hope to survive!” Chu Mu revealed a rare smile.
This smile completely swept away the shadow of death lingering in Chu Mu’s heart.
The Eternal Spring Water, stolen by the Puppet Girl Defector, had ultimately ended up in Chu Mu’s hands!
This meant that Little Hiding Dragon, who had drunk the Eternal Spring Water, now had Decay Energy of Immortal City. It wouldn’t be attacked by the Sealed Creatures. It might even be considered one of their kind!
“Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
After drinking the Eternal Spring Water, the little Hiding Dragon felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the Immortal City, as if it had returned to its hometown. It let out a resounding dragon chant towards the sky!
“Decaying aura… such a rich decaying aura…” Miss Shan stared blankly at the majestic and imposing creature of the unusual Dragon Race in front of her, seeming somewhat disbelieving.
The intensity of this decaying aura was sufficient to conceal the human scents of the two of them. What was tantamount to opening a protective umbrella for them in this raging world!
“Do we have a chance to survive? We have a chance to live!!” Waves of emotion surged in Miss Shan’s heart.
At the brink of ecstatic shock, once again, a drastic contrast to Phoenix Rest in her heart. This time, Miss Shan actually fainted from excitement, collapsing softly to the ground with tears of excitement still on her face…
“…” Chu Mu was speechless.
Luckily, most of Miss Shan’s fainting episodes were short-lived, or Chu Mu would have long abandoned this burden.
Of course, Chu Mu wouldn’t truly abandon this woman, as her knowledge of the Immortal City far surpassed his own. Although he fortunately possessed the Eternal Spring Water, which allowed him to hide among the sealed army, it did not mean that he was completely safe. Moving through the Immortal City still required Miss Shan’s guidance, providing him with various information to avoid heading down a dead end.
The little Hiding Dragon used its claws to hook onto Miss Shan’s collar and threw her onto its back without any politeness. Then it turned its head, revealing a-mouthful-of-dragon-teeth smile, like a child, at Chu Mu.
“Little Hiding Dragon, we’re in the most dangerous place in the world, and your elder brothers and sisters can’t come out to fight. Otherwise, they’ll encounter a group attack. From now on, everything depends on you!” Chu Mu said very seriously to the little Hiding Dragon.
The little Dragon revealed even more of its dragon teeth, looking even more excited!
“Your true combat strength is now close to that of a quasi-Emperor. The level of the Ghost Dragon is only at the Commander level. If we can raise the level of the Ghost Dragon, your true combat strength will reach that of a low-grade Emperor!” Chu Mu said to the little Hiding Dragon.
Chu Mu had restrained the growth of the Little Hiding Dragon, mainly because he was unable to gather 250,000 Spirits in a short period.
Now, the Little Hiding Dragon is at the ninth rank first stage, with an integrated strength at the level of a quasi-Emperor.
However, the level of the Ghost Dragon is still low, only at the peak Commander level.
This means that there’s still plenty of room for the Little Hiding Dragon’s strength to improve. As long as the level of the Ghost Dragon is raised, reaching the level of a low-grade Emperor will not be a problem!
The level of the Ghost Dragon can be completely upgraded by killing enemies and absorbing their souls. In the past, there were not that many powerful Emperor-level Soul Pets for Chu Mu to kill, preventing the Little Hiding Dragon from gathering strong souls and keeping the level of the Ghost Dragon low.
Moreover, even in the Forbidden Domain, each Emperor is accompanied by a large tribe, making it much more challenging to exterminate them. Additionally, being careless could cause the entire situation to spiral out of control, making it extremely dangerous.
However, now, in the thousands of years of history in the Immortal City, Emperor-level Soul Pets are no longer so rare and difficult to find. The worst are at the Monarch level, with the upper-middle power being at the Emperor level.
All of these are delectable soul feasts for the Little Hiding Dragon to enhance its strength!!
Perhaps, if they’re not careful, they might end up raising the Ghost Dragon to the Emperor level, making the Little Hiding Dragon’s combined strength surpass that of Mo Ye!
From the brink of dying to greatly increasing the strength of the Little Hiding Dragon, this is a drastic change. Not only is the Little Hiding Dragon excited because of the numerous delicacies laid before it, but even Chu Mu himself is somewhat excited.
With the power of the Eternal Spring Water, the Little Hiding Dragon can be said to have turned into a dragon in sheep’s clothing, mingling amongst the chaos of the Immortal City, and the released sealed Emperors into plump lambs!
“Maybe being trapped here isn’t that bad after all?” Chu Mu raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself.
Chu Mu’s gaze fell upon the countless guardians and sealed creatures that had chased them to the city gate. At this moment, those creatures in flocks had stopped their pursuit.
With bewildered faces, the Guardians and Sealed Creatures stood in the distance, staring at the Little Hiding Dragon with its rich decaying aura.
“Roar!”
With an air of authority, the Little Hiding Dragon let out a dragon chant to signal friendliness to the group of creatures!
Having lost the scent of Chu Mu and Miss Shan, the pursuing guardians and sealed creatures were all filled with confusion.
Without the trace of human scent, they had no reason to pursue. As for the dragon with the concentrated decaying aura, these guardians and sealed creatures would not actively attack such a powerful, long-sealed, and old prisoner without being provoked!
After greeting these creatures, the Little Hiding Dragon spread its sturdy flesh wings and soared into the sky, gracefully flying into the air of the Immortal City!
