Chapter 158: Chapter 40: The Night is Dark, the Wind is High, A Night for Murder

Translator: 549690339

The night was dark and the wind high, a perfect night for murder.

Anticipating that the Yang Family would dispatch an expert to clear the Demon

Ant Emperor from their territory, Chu Mu, too, exercised his rights as the Henghai Young Master Yan. He summoned ten Nightmare Demon Palace killers from his residency in the Gangluo City Nightmare Demon Palace. These killers stealthily hid in Yang Family’s territory, awaiting the arrival of their prey.

The Yang Family’s manor within this territory was situated in a shallow valley. Steep mountains encompassed either side of the valley. Chu Mu, clad in black, stealthily approached their manor, astride on his Night Thunder Dream Beast, which nimbly leapt against the mountain cliffs under the cover of darkness.

Behind Chu Mu, ten Nightmare Demon Palace killers, all wearing night clothing, each tamed a different Soul Pet. They chased suavely along the perilous mountain ranges without making a single noise.

“You, go check if the person sent by the Yang Family has arrived. The rest, follow me inside to kill. Remember, spare no one!” Chu Mu commanded coldly.

“Yes! !” The ten Nightmare Demon Palace killers nodded immediately, commencing their operation at once.

Chu Mu’s killing spree wasn’t merely about taking out a few personnel dispatched by Yang Family. He simply decided to slaughter all of Yang Family’s servants inside the manor — without leaving a single survivor!

One after another, the shocking splatters of crimson unfurled ominously in the deep night. The howls of men and shrieking of Soul Pets chimed into a grim chorus, echoing ominously in this otherwise silent valley. Fresh blood trickled from the small mountain brooks, slowly seeping into more distant places…

The killers of Nightmare Demon Palace were all ruthless villains. They were all trained through various rigorous measures at Nightmare Demon Palace, then assigned to different corners of the world to serve various clients — in return for bounties.

These ten killers were led by a Slayer named He Lang, who held the Sixth Level Title. His strength could be argued to be among the top ten in Gangluo City. Notorious for his ruthlessness and wanton bloodlust, he obliged to the orders of Henghai Young Master Yan, intending to follow Xia Guanghan’s mandate and fully assist Henghai Young Master Yan in the pursuit of revenge against the Yang Family.

The name of Henghai Young Master Yan was already well-known to He Lang. Initially, he didn’t have much regard for a man barely in his twenties, adhering to the order purely out of obedience. But witnessing Chu Mu’s composure and indifference while murdering and outperforming him in kill counts, He Lang could not but be astounded. This young man’s artful ability to murder surpassed his professional killer skills. The title of Prison Island King was indeed well-deserved; Chu Mu was the sole survivor among three thousand prisoners!

“Young Master Yan, they’re here,” reported the Nightmare Demon Palace killer stationed outside the valley. He was flying on his Storm Hawk, appearing in front of Chu Mu.

Upon landing, the Nightmare Demon Palace killer took a sweeping glance at the manor littered with corpses. He was amazed. With such a short time, it was hard to believe that the thirty-strong population of Yang Family’s manor was butchered clean, with the carcasses of the Soul Pets almost piling all the way out to the walls!

“Yeah, move ahead. Don’t let them smell the scent of blood and become vigilant.” Chu Mu nodded, jumping onto his Night Thunder Dream Beast. He let MO Ye follow him closely, his body painted in red blood.

The ten killers did not hesitate and immediately jumped onto their respective Soul Pets. Those with winged Soul Pets advanced in the front. Soaked in blood, they moved to intercept the experts dispatched by the Yang Family to eradicate the Demon Ant King!

At noontime, the warm luminescence showered upon Luo Ye Ridge. Green, low-lying hillside, luxuriant vegetation, thriving creatures everywhere, it was a scene of peace and tranquillity .

“Brother, that Demonic Cloud in the distance seems to be growing larger. Will it spread over here?” While gazing at the Yang Family’s territory in the distance, Chu Yishui voiced out her concerns in a hushed tone.

“It won’t. That is a high -ranking Commander-level Demon Ant Emperor. It’s reached the Seventh-rank, its strength is formidable, but the range it can control is less than two kilometers in diameter. It can only destroy Yang Family’s territory at most. It won’t affect us here,” reassured Chu Mu.

“Big brother knows a lot,” Chu Yishui immediately gave a bright smile, her face filled with admiration.

Chu Mu grinned in response.

During the day, Chu Mu was the patient and caring big brother who accompanied his little cousin in her demanding quest for a new Soul Pet. But when night fell, Chu Mu would transform into a brutal killing fiend, his hands stained with blood!

A full month had passed, Chu Mu with great patience, was accompanying his little cousin Yishui in her meticulous search for a new Soul pet.

In reality, during this month, Chu Mu was able to capture top-level Warrior Level Soul pets almost every night. However, he didn’t directly give them to Chu Yishui.

It wasn’t that Chu Mu grudged parting with his money, but rather, he knew that for an authentically powerful Soul Pet Master, one shouldn’t always rely on having good-quality Soul Pets gifted by others. Instead, one should choose the Soul Pet most suitable for oneself.

If one were to liken soul pets to battle weapons, someone like Chu Yishui would definitely not choose enormously heavy weapons like long axes or large swords, but rather the light and clever short sword, in order to bring out Chu Yishui’s greatest advantage in battle.

In this one month, Chu Yishui learned a lot from Chu Mu, such as how to judge various soul pets, how to control battles, how to manage her own soul pets, and how to use various skills. All of these boosted Chu Yishui’s strength quite a bit.

Finally, with Chu Mu’s approval, Chu Yishui formed a soul contract with the level-four, fourth-stage Demon Spirit Butterfly.

Chu Mu had believed from the beginning that a smart girl like Chu Yishui should be best suited to controlling a Demon Spirit Butterfly, a soul pet known for its agility, speed, and wind manipulation. After a month of selection, Chu Mu chose a Demon Spirit Butterfly of the highest quality for Chu Yishui.

The Demon Spirit Butterfly Chu Mu chose for Chu Yishui was very strong in all aspects, especially its most important wind attribute, which was already close to the ice powers of Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit.

“A fifth-level Demon Spirit type, wind attribute soul crystal?” On the way back to the clan, Chu Yishui looked surprised at the small gift Chu Mu gave her. She put her hand over her mouth in disbelief and stared at Chu Mu.

“Your Demon Spirit Butterfly has a small flaw – it’s not resilient enough. You need to slightly strengthen its Demon Spirit attribute. Of course, the most important part is to strengthen its wind attribute. This soul crystal can somewhat make lin for the Demon Spirit Butterfly defect and then Strengthen

its wind attribute,” Chu Mu said.

Chu Yishui naively stared at the fifth-level soul crystal in her hand for a long time without regaining her senses. She’s not stupid. She knew that with Chu Mu’s help, she had captured a Demon Spirit Butterfly that could be worth close to fifty-thousand gold coins. A war general-level soul pet is considered to be extremely valuable at fifty-thousand coins already. After all, a normal low-level Commander soul pet would only be worth a hundred thousand gold coins!

Now, she was given another double attribute fifth-level soul crystal worth at least fifty-thousand gold coins. If it is to strengthen the Demon Spirit Butterfly, the value of this Demon Spirit Butterfly would reach one hundred thousand – equal to a low-level Commander Soul Pet!

Perhaps, after strengthening, the Demon Spirit Butterfly would not be a match for a low-level Commander in the same rank. However, because the Demon Spirit Butterfly is a War General-level soul pet, it can fight in battles at the rank of a Soul Warrior, which gives it an enormous advantage against its peers.

“Brother, is this really for me?” Chu Yishui blinked her eyes.

“Yes, but keep it secret and don’t tell anyone,” Chu Mu said.

“Wow, big brother is so good to Yishui!” Chu Yishui almost burst into tears of joy. She enthusiastically hugged Chu Mu’s neck, and while pressing her soft chest against his, gave him a wet kiss on his cheek.

Chu Mu didn’t expect his little cousin to suddenly kiss him and coughed awkwardly. Although Chu Mu has always treated the little girl as a younger sister, Chu Yishui was already fifteen years old. Her petite and shapely figure always gave a hint of immature temptation under her dress.

Chu Mu knew that he was not related by blood to the people of the Chu Family. If Chu Yishui continued to press her body against him without any restraint, he would inevitably start to have improper thoughts.

During this one month, Chu Mu couldn’t possibly spend all his time helping Chu Yishui choose a soul pet. During this time, Zhan Ye had quickly advanced from third level, fifth stage to third level, eighth stage. Chu Mu planned to use a sixth-level soul crystal to train him when he returned to Gangluo City.

Using a sixth-level soul crystal to train a third-level soul pet could be said to be quite dangerous, as the energy in a sixth-level soul crystal is too immense. On one hand, the soul pet may not be able to fully absorb it. On the other hand, it could easily harm the soul pet. Generally, a third-level soul pet could at best use a fourth-level soul crystal for training.

However, Zhan Ye had the blood of the insect species. The greatest characteristic of the insect species is their great vitality. A third -level soul pet could barely withstand a fifth-level soul crystal without a problem.

And then, there was Zhan Ye, an abnormality among the insect species. Its ability to self-heal was six times that of other soul pets, so naturally, its vitality was also six times that of other insect species. Chu Mu believed that using a sixth-level soul crystal for training wouldn’t be a big problem.

A sixth-level soul crystal training for Zhan Ye would undoubtedly waste quite a bit of energy. But to make up for Zhan Ye’s deficiency, Chu Mu had to spend money ruthlessly on it!

“Little brother, I guess you’ve heard about what happened in Luo Ye Ridge, ha-ha! It was so satisfying. Those guys in the Yang Family inexplicably provoked the Ant King. As a result, the Ant King settled there and took over their entire territory, killing all of their family servants. After cleaning up for more than twenty days and losing quite a few soul pets, they finally cleared the Ant King. However, their whole territory was destroyed, and now it can only be considered a second-rank territory, ha-ha!” Chu Ning burst into laughter when he saw Chu Mu return.

“Indeed, it’s really satisfying,” Chu Mu laughed.

That night, after Chu Mu killed all the servants of the Yang Family, he led the ant swarms of the Ant King to the Yang Family house. The ants nibbled the bodies of the Yang Family until they were completely gone, without leaving a trace. The Yang Family felt that it was bizarre, but in the end, they could only attribute this tragedy to the attack by the Ant King…

Of course, for Chu Mu, this was just an underwhelming retribution. The real revenge was just beginning now!
