Chapter 336: Chapter 213: Unbridled in the Soul Hall Main Hall
Translator: 549690339
Although Chu Mu couldn’t mobilize the people of the Soul Hall, the Soul Hall Order would be very helpful if he got himself into trouble.
Lord Tang didn’t dare to take action himself, but if Chu Mu were to take action, he wouldn’t dare to stop him either. He could only urgently send a few people to follow Chu Mu.
Chu Mu had not spent any time on meditating these days, so his Soul Power had not recovered much. He couldn’t use his Soul Skills casually. After jumping down from the attic, he ran straight towards the Soul Hall Main Hall.
The Soul Hall Main Hall was very spacious, with well-dressed Soul Hall members coming and going. Most of the members of the Soul Hall have a certain reputation in their respective fields, it can also be said that the Soul Hall is a gathering place for experts. Often, when Soul Pet Masters mention their affiliation with the Soul Hall, it adds a sense of superiority to their name.
After entering the Soul Hall Main Hall, Chu Mu plowed ahead recklessly, not caring who was in his way. After Chu Mu, who had better physical strength than ordinary Soul Pet Masters, passed by like a whirlwind, he immediately attracted a lot of curses and many proud Soul Pet Masters stared at him angrily.
Finally, Chu Mu saw Yu He in the Soul Hall Main Hall, who was only about ten meters away from the main entrance.
Yu He did not notice the imposing Chu Mu following him from behind, and still maintained his self-proclaimed graceful smile and nodded to some of the experts in the Soul Hall with a well-educated demeanor.
“Ning, Ice Wall!”
As the spell was chanted, Chu Mu summoned the Ice-Feathered Spirit without any hesitation and had it use its Ice Element skills directly within the Soul Hall Main Hall!
Frost formed, and the white ice pattern gradually appeared in the hall. The Ice-Feathered Spirit, covered in blue and white ice crystals, slowly emerged from the ice pattern.
“Squeak”
Ning’s spell was completed almost instantly, and a countless amount of frost condensed, quickly forming the Cold Ice Wall. In a very short period of time, it froze the entire Soul Hall Main Hall and added several more layers on top of it, increasing its strength!
“What’s going on? What’s going on?!” A Soul Pet Master who was about to step out of the Soul Hall Main Hall was stunned, and with an astonished expression on his face, he turned back to look at Chu Mu.
“Who is that? How dare you be so presumptuous, summoning a soul pet in the Soul Hall Main Hall and freezing the main entrance?!” The guards inside the hall immediately scolded them, staring intently at Chu Mu and Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit. If this soul pet made any move, they would definitely summon their soul pet at the first opportunity.
The main entrance of the Soul Hall Main Hall was twenty meters high, and it was obviously very impressive. Having such a magnificent entrance covered in a thick layer of ice, both the passers-by outside the main street and the members of the Soul Hall inside the hall showed surprise and panic.
The Soul Hall has always been known for its strict discipline, and no faction, including the members of the Soul Hall, is allowed to act recklessly in public places.
Soul pets are not allowed to be summoned inside the Soul Hall Main Hall. Chu Mu’s summons clearly violate the rules of the Soul Hall. As for the Ice Sealing of the main entrance, it was even more a direct challenge to the dignity of the Soul Hall.
Yu He also showed surprise, staring at the frozen ice wall for a long time, and turned back in confusion, wanting to see who was so bold as to violate the rules of the Soul Hall.
Glancing over, Yu He quickly saw Chu Mu and the Ice-Feathered Spirit, and felt Chu Mu’s cold gaze. Yu He immediately furrowed his brows, as he felt that this indifferent youth seemed to be targeting him specifically.
“This young master, please put away your Soul Pet and immediately unfreeze the entrance, or don’t blame us for being impolite!” said the guards as they quickly surrounded Chu Mu.
Have them stand aside!” Chu Mu glanced at the three anxious guards who were following him and said indifferently.
These three guards knew Chu Mu’s identity, but they were just Soul Hall guards from a Ninth-level City and had never encountered such a situation. They didn’t know what to do and could only look at each other blankly.
“Uh… Brothers, mind your own business, don’t interfere,” the three guards whispered to the ten guards.
“Don’t interfere?” The guard captain frowned, looking puzzled. The youth had clearly been acting presumptuously in the Soul Hall Main Hall – how could they turn a blind eye?
Yu He had been watching Chu Mu, feeling the sharpness of his gaze while trying to maintain a friendly smile. “My friend, if I have offended Yu He in any way, please tell me slowly. Why fight in such a grand hall?”
Yu He’s words tried to put reason first, and he acted like a gentleman. After all, this was the Soul Hall, and not just anyone could fight here recklessly. He didn’t believe that this guy’s brazen move of freezing the Soul Hall Main entrance wouldn’t attract the dissatisfaction of some Soul Hall experts.
As expected, Yu He’s words made the expressions of several Soul Hall experts more serious. These Soul Pet Masters had some status within the Soul Hall, and even they didn’t dare to freeze the main hall. But this unknown guy came in so arrogantly, disregarding the rules of the Soul Hall.
“Hmph, young man, you should think before you act. With your rash behavior, you won’t make it far. If you don’t want to upset us elders who are in a hurry, you better unfreeze the door quickly. If we have to intervene, you’ll regret it.” A middle-aged man with a stubble said coldly, clearly discontented with Chu Mu’s arrogant behavior.
The other Soul Hall experts beside the man nodded. Although it wouldn’t be too difficult for them to break the ice wall, they didn’t feel the need to waste their Soul Power on it. Also, forcefully breaking the ice wall would cause quite a commotion, which they didn’t want for the usually strict Soul Hall.
Yu He glanced at the Soul Hall experts and saw their displeasure. He then smiled and said, “My friend, let’s sit down and talk. Don’t waste the time of our elders.”
Despite Yu He’s seemingly polite words, his meaning was clear. He was trying to build a friendly image of himself among the others while making the mysterious man appear unreasonable.
If Yu He were dealing with an ordinary young expert, the person would most likely back down after being stared down by the Soul Hall experts, obediently undoing the ice.
However, Chu Mu wasn’t afraid. Since his young master identity was confirmed by Lord Tang, he believed he couldn’t go too far, especially since Old Man Tang didn’t take action himself, so Chu Mu had to act on his own.
“Ning, Ice Seal.” Chu Mu was too lazy to argue with Yu He any further and wanted to take him down first. Otherwise, after Yu He communicates with Qing Li, they would definitely hold on to Ye Wansheng tightly, making it difficult to rescue him secretly, and forcing the dispute to escalate between the Soul Hall and Elemental Gate.
With Chu Mu’s command, Ning didn’t hesitate. She recited the spell, quickly completing the Ice Seal!
The ice-cold aura suddenly filled the Soul Hall Main Hall, and countless ice crystals turned into a strong gust, directly sweeping towards Yu He. The ground and columns were instantly covered with a white ice layer!
Seeing the Ice Seal approaching, Yu He’s eyes widened, and he thought to himself: Is this guy out of his mind? He’s actually attacking in the Soul Hall Main Hall!
Yu He had always thought that the mysterious young man wouldn’t dare to make a move in the Soul Hall Main Hall, but he didn’t expect him to command his Soul Pet to use a skill, and a powerful one at that – the Ice Seal!
Fear appeared in Yu He’s eyes. His Seventh-level Soul Armor materialized to defend against the ice enveloping his body. Meanwhile, he recited a spell to cover himself with Solid Rock Armor, blocking all the ice layers outside his rock armor.
Rock Type defenses are the highest among all attributes, and to a certain extent, they could counter the Ice Element. Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit’s Ice Seal was definitely an Eighth-level power. After invoking his Seventh-level Soul Armor, Yu He’s Solid Rock Armor managed to block most of the Ice Seal…
However, the cold atmosphere still penetrated his skin. Wrapped in rock, Yu He could feel the freezing power outside his defenses, causing him to break out in cold sweat.
Completing a skill with Eighth-level power in a second, and even more advanced Ice Crystals, Yu He could never have imagined that a Seventh-rank Ice-Feathered Spirit could display such a terrifying Ice Attribute ability. If he hadn’t reacted in time, he might have been instantly frozen by the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
The Ice-Feathered Spirit’s Ice Seal instantly quieted the entire hall. The young Soul Pet Masters stared in disbelief. The Soul Hall experts, including the stubbled man, were all dumbfounded. Perhaps it was the first time they had seen anyone train a Seventh-rank Ice-Feathered Spirit to such a realm!
“Palace Master, this…this young man is incredibly talented!” The guard who had blocked Chu Mu before looked at him in amazement and said to Palace Master Tang who was beside him.
Palace Master Tang had actually been in the hall for quite some time, but he had been hiding in the shadows. He dared not intervene in this “rich second generation” fight before figuring out the truth about Yu Lang and Feng Ya’s deaths.
Of course, Palace Master Tang didn’t expect Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit to be so powerful, with Ice Attribute abilities surpassing Peak Command and nearing that of an Inferior Monarch!
“Go and secretly tell those people not to interfere carelessly. This matter is complicated and might be beyond our small hall’s ability to handle.” It took quite a while for Palace Master Tang to recover from surprise, before speaking in a low voice to the guard beside him.
“Very complicated?” The guard asked softly.
Palace Master Tang nodded. Yu Lang and Feng Ya were both from the Seven Great Halls of the Soul Hall, and Yu Lang was even the son of one of the hall masters. His death, accidental or not, would require Tang to take responsibility. Now, an even higher-ranking Young Master had appeared, claiming that Yu Lang and Feng Ya were framed and murdered, with Yu He as the culprit.
Yu He also held a high position in the Elemental Gate, and Palace Master Tang was not a fool. He knew that the matter was likely deep and didn’t want to jump into it. Thus, he preferred to stand by and watch. In any case, the older generation couldn’t interfere in the fights among the younger generation. Palace Master Tang only had to stop any accidents from happening and subtly side with the Soul Hall Young Master.
