Chapter 313: Chapter 191: Escape, Crisis

Translator: 549690339

Yu Lang clenched his teeth full of fresh blood, his eyes almost spewing fire. As a famous high-level expert among the youths, he never expected he would be betrayed by people from the Elemental Gate, and now he could only watch his Soul Pet being besieged…

“Ahhhh!!!”

A scream resounded as Feng Ya, the female Soul Pet Trainer, couldn’t protect herself during the siege. Her abdomen was pierced by the Ziyuan Thunder Demon’s thunder claw, and her delicate body instantly collapsed into the pool of blood…

“Feng Ya!!!” Yu Lang’s face was covered with bulging veins as he watched his woman die tragically under the enemy’s Soul Pets. He was already going mad!

No matter how Yu Lang struggled, Feng Ya still couldn’t escape this calamity. After she fell into the blood puddle, the Evil Flame Demon’s evil flame fell onto her body and quickly turned her into ashes…

Yu Lang felt heartbroken as he saw it, and the anger bursting out from his bloodshot eyes!

“Pop!!!”

Suddenly, Yu Lang’s eyeballs burst open, and blood spurted from his eyes!

At the same time, a strange power enveloped his body. This power hit the Seventh-rank Winged Rank Tiger fiercely and knocked it flying away.

“Quick, attack him!” Qing Li didn’t expect Yu Lang to have such a self-destructive Soul Skill and shouted angrily at the other three.

“Hiss!!!” The Monarch Level golden Insect-type Soul Pet’s glow bloomed, broke through the encirclement and charged towards its master.

Yu Lang had lost his sight and couldn’t tell the direction, but he sensed the arrival of his Soul Pet, and immediately jumped onto the Bug Monarch’s body!

“Roar!!!!!” The Thunder Sword Wing Lion also knew its master was in danger. It used its body to block the combined attack of many Elemental Soul Pets!

The purple lion’s body leaped up high but was swallowed by different colored energies. After a loud boom, the Eighth-rank Thunder Sword Wing Lion’s flesh and blood flew…

Yu Lang’s face turned pale as he lay on the golden Bug Monarch, and the blood-filled eyes once again overflowed with bloody tears…

On the other side of the mountain peak, Chu Mu was resting not far from the cave entrance. Meditating, he quickly discerned shaking noises echoing from the depths of the cave.

“What happened?” Chu Mu gazed at the depths of the cave, showing a puzzled expression.

“Oh, they might have encountered some obstructing Soul Pets and fought. There are many branches in this cavern, and some haven’t been cleared yet,” Zeng Linshan immediately explained.

Chu Mu merely nodded slightly, clearly not believing Zeng Linshan’s words.

“You all sit here and rest, I’ll go in and take a look. Maybe they went the wrong way,” Zeng Linshan continued.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu still just nodded.

“Just wait here, don’t go anywhere, it’s not good to go the wrong way,” Zeng Linshan specially instructed before entering the cave.

Watching Zeng Linshan’s figure gradually disappear into the cavern, Chu Mu’s face began to change visibly.

“What’s the matter?” Ye Qingzi saw the chill in Chu Mu’s eyes and asked softly.

“The third possibility has occurred,” Chu Mu calmly said.

Ye Qingzi didn’t know what Chu Mu meant by the third possibility and could only use her puzzled eyes to watch Chu Mu, waiting for his explanation.

“These five people from the Elemental Gate have a conspiracy. According to the current situation, it’s very likely they want to target Soul Hall’s Yu Lang and Feng Ya!” Chu Mu said.

Ye Qingzi immediately showed a surprised expression, taking a special look at the deep cave. She had considered the first two possibilities, but she didn’t think these five people from the Elemental Gate would turn against Yu Lang and Feng Ya.

Yu Lang and Feng Ya were invited to come to Sky Crystal Peak, and surely the people of Soul Hall knew they were practicing with the Elemental Gate’s people. If something happened to them, Soul Hall would suspect the Elemental Gate first. It shouldn’t be possible for the Elemental Gate people to act so recklessly.

Unless, all of this was prearranged, or the people of the Elemental Gate had already designed a false image of accidental death for Yu Lang and Feng Ya. This way, Soul Hall’s people would have no trace to follow and would never suspect them!

“So what do we do now?” Under the current circumstances, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were also in great danger. Since Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were outsiders, if the Elemental Gate members intended to kill Yu Lang and Feng Ya, they would definitely kill them to prevent information leakage after dealing with the two of them!

“We’re halfway up the mountain now, and if we fly down directly, we’ll be pursued by a large group of Soul Pets. Zeng Linshan is here to try to separate us on purpose, to bring us here and prevent our escape…” Chu Mu’s worries still happened.

“No wonder Qing Li had a strange expression when he saw us. We disrupted their plan. What do we do now? Zhang Qin and Qing Li are too strong, and we may not be their opponents in a head-on confrontation.” Ye Qingzi asked.

“Although we can’t be 100% sure right now, it’s better to believe in the possibility than to ignore it. We can only move upward now and engage in a tug-of-war battle with them,” Chu Mu said.

Ye Qingzi also trusted Chu Mu’s judgment, so she didn’t hesitate too long before jumping on her Dream Beast and following Chu Mu up the steep and relatively safe mountain path, starting to climb upward.

“Zeng Linshan, well done! When we return, you’ll definitely receive a big reward!” Qing Li laughed heartily and patted Zeng Linshan on the shoulder.

Zeng Linshan also grinned from ear to ear, looking quite smug.

Zeng Linshan’s cloud gas had been quite useful. He had summoned his own soul pet shortly after leaving Chu Mu’s and Ye Qingzi’s field of view, as he had guessed there could be a battle ahead.

Not long after going deep, they immediately spotted a seriously injured Yu Lang and his Monarch Level Insect Species soul pet. Zeng Linshan and his three soul pets had blocked the way for the Insect Species Monarch.

Yu Lang originally had a chance to escape, but Zeng Linshan’s appearance made him lose all hope. By the time the other four pursuers arrived, Yu Lang’s Monarch Level Insect Species soul pet had been killed, and he eventually died under the Claw Blade of the Winged Rank Tiger.

“Haha, a Level-8 Insect Species Monarch Soul Crystal!” As Zhang Qin had his soul pet struggle to tear the corpse of Yu Lang’s insect species monarch soul pet apart, he quickly discovered the treasure!

The value of a Level-8 Insect Species Monarch Soul Crystal was around 30 million Gold Coins. The souls crystals that killed Yu Lang and Feng Ya’s soul pets were worth quite a sum.

Qing Li directly took the Space Ring from Yu Lang and started searching through Yu Lang’s Space Ring for any valuable treasures.

“Hmph, this guy… His ring only has some potions and stuff used for field battles, as well as some things that aren’t very valuable. It seems he truly stored anything of real value in Soul Hall,” Qing Li spat out, annoyed.

“He destroyed his own Soul Armor. This guy really deserves a couple more lashes from beyond the grave!” Zhang Qin kicked the blood-covered corpse of Yu Lang.

“There’s nothing else valuable here, stop searching, let’s handle the matters afterward,” Qing Li waved his hand, signaling for the others to stop searching the body for valuables.

“Zeng Linshan, where are those two?” Qing Li asked with a murderous look in his eyes.

Certainly, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi’s appearance had been unexpected for Qing Li. Fortunately, he managed to adapt and split the two of them up, or else he would’ve missed the opportunity to kill Yu Lang and Feng Ya.

Yu Lang was the son of the Seventh Palace Master of Soul Hall and had a very high position in Soul Hall. Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to even touch a hair on his head. If they didn’t handle the matters afterward correctly, their Elemental Gate would be in big trouble.

“They’re still foolishly waiting outside the cave entrance,” Zeng Linshan laughed. He had made a great contribution this time. As long as he dealt with those two people, he would receive a hefty reward.

“Good, that’s good,” Qing Li nodded in satisfaction.

“Qing Li, Chu Mu is a subordinate of Soul Hall’s Young Master. If we kill him, won’t we attract the attention of Soul Hall’s Young Master? Soul Hall’s Young Master is not someone we can afford to provoke,” Zhang Qin whispered softly.

“We’ve already reached this point, not killing him means we’ll die. We can’t care so much about that right now. Let’s proceed with the plan we had before, and deal with those two just like Feng Ya and Yu Lang,” Qing Li’s eyes flashed with a ruthless intent.

“Then that’s the only option we have,” Zhang Qin nodded, and suddenly seemed to think of something, a smile on his face: “That girl is the little sister of that guy. She’s the person that our Young Master wants. If we capture her alive, perhaps our Young Master will be even happier.”

“Right, right, capture her alive. That girl has a great figure. On the way here, I’ve been thinking that if we managed to get rid of Yu Lang and Feng Ya, maybe we could…” Zeng Linshan nodded vigorously and enthusiastically, his eyes filled with lust.

“SLAP!!!” Suddenly, a slap landed on Zeng Linshan’s face, jerking him back to reality.

“Useless trash! You even dare to covet the woman our Young Master wants!” Qing Li roared angrily.

“I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t dare…” Zeng Linshan immediately lowered his head, not daring to say anything else.

In fact, Qing Li and Zhang Qin were also quite interested in beautiful women, especially since they had already reached the point of killing. They had considered earlier whether to keep Feng Ya alive, toy with her for a while, and then kill her.

However, Qing Li and Zhang Qin were both ruthless people. They knew that these thoughts could lead to big mistakes, so they decided to kill Feng Ya decisively, not giving her a chance to summon her soul pet.

As for Ye Qingzi, Qing Li and Zhang Qin were determined to follow the Young Master’s orders, capturing her alive and taking her to Li City. Even if they had evil thoughts, they had to suppress them for now…

“Bastards, where are they?!” Qing Li slapped Zeng Linshan’s face hard.

Zeng Linshan looked at the empty cave entrance and covered his now bruised and bloody mouth, saying in fear, “I ordered them not to wander around randomly. They might just be moving around nearby.”

“Could they have noticed us?” Zhang Qin glanced at their surroundings, but couldn’t find any trace of Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.

“Hmph, they can only take this path. Whether it’s going down the mountain or other routes, there are soul pet groups living everywhere. All of you, chase after them!” Qing Li said coldly!
