Chapter 995: Chapter 861: I Will Also Wear a Mask

Upon Elder Shen Qiu’s order, suddenly a group of uniformly dressed people appeared in the streets and courtyards throughout the central city of Spirit City!

These people quickly gathered together, forming a massive army, moving towards the shattered plaza at an extremely fast pace!

“What is that!!” Lu Yun’s face turned pale instantly, looking in horror at the figures gathering from afar!!

The other two Trace Rank powerhouses swept their gazes around, shockingly discovering that they had been surrounded by three different types of demon flames without realizing it!!

Green Demon Flame, Blue Demon Flame, White Demon Flame—these demon flames were advancing towards the central plaza like tidal waves!!

“The army, it’s the Nightmare Demon Palace’s Demon Legion!!!”

“Where did this army come from!! There can’t possibly still be an army from the Nightmare Demon Palace!!” Yang Que looked in absolute astonishment at the Nightmare Demon Legion that had emerged from nowhere!

As the city master, Yang Que was very aware of the military forces of the Nightmare Demon Palace stationed within Spirit City, yet he had completely failed to notice the massive Nightmare Demon Legions that were now converging from all directions!!

When did this force sneak into his Spirit City!

“Elder Zhu Chao… we… we’re surrounded!” Tang Shang said, trembling all over.

The power of Spirit City’s Soul Alliance was centered around Zhu Chao, and all the members of the Soul Alliance were panic-stricken upon seeing the army of the Nightmare Demon Palace rolling in!

Zhu Chao’s entire face was twisting!

No wonder the Three Great Palaces had always been indifferent. Shen Qiu had also been able to keep his composure. It turned out that the Three Great Palaces had premeditated plans to launch a grand attack on their Soul Alliance forces after the Spirit Art competition!

In Spirit City, Zhu Chao’s strength alone was enough to deal with Shen Qiu, and there was also Zhu Haoting, a Peak Emperor Level under him. Moreover, city master Yang Que was intentionally biased towards their side, so Zhu Chao had never worried about the Three Great Palaces acting rashly.

But Zhu Chao never expected that he would be restrained by a youth and forced to reveal one of his trump cards. What made Zhu Chao even more infuriated was the large army of the Nightmare Demon Palace had broken into Spirit City, and they had no idea!!

“Elder Zhu Chao, what should we do!!”

“Elder Zhu Chao, please issue an order quickly, or we’ll really be unable to extricate ourselves!”

Chu Mu alone had killed a High Emperor Level Elder and fifteen High Emperors. It could be said that the Three Great Palaces now had an absolute advantage on the side of High Emperor Level.

Zhu Chao himself had expended three Peak Emperors, and furthermore, Zhu Chao didn’t have complete confidence that he could suppress that extremely powerful White Nightmare Demon.

He had been too careless this time; Zhu Chao had really been too careless!

If Yang Que wanted to maintain his position as the Lord of Spirit City, he would have to muster up the strength to protect his own city, it would be impossible for him to take action to help the Soul Alliance anymore.

Without Yang Que restraining Shen Qiu and the elders of the Three Great Palaces, Zhu Chao’s forces would no longer be able to contend with the Three Great Palaces.

The tide had turned! Originally, they thought that after the Spirit Art competition, the Three Great Palaces would no longer have a foothold in Spirit City, but the result was completely opposite; it was they who could no longer gain a foothold!

“Kill!!”

The voice of Elder Shen Qiu, charged with Soul Sense, bellowed out, the killing cry was massive and resonating!!

As the great battle was about to break out, those restless Soul Emperors from the Three Great Palaces, upon Elder Shen Qiu’s order, summoned their Soul Pets one after another.

For a moment, the entire plaza was overrun by the rampant Soul Pets of the Three Great Palaces!

The members of the Soul Alliance were clearly overwhelmed by the massive army and the Three Great Palaces’ joint forces that had suddenly initiated the great battle; their pace of summoning Soul Pets was visibly slower.

And that delay led to countless skulls rolling in a spray of fresh blood, belonging to both humans and Soul Pets!

Zhu Chao’s face flushed with rage as he looked around at the chaotic plaza rampant with unbridled energy, looking somewhat defeated!

“Retreat, everyone retreat!!” Zhu Chao shouted through Soul Sense!

Zhu Chao ordered all members of the Soul Alliance to gather around him and began to break through towards the east.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!”

The power of the Army and Emperor Power, both are truly destructive forces. The vast plaza turned into ruins in an instant, and the entire Central City was continually destroyed due to the spread of war flames!!

The most brutal wars are those that erupt in cities.

Neither side could stop fighting just because they were worried about the city, and the neutral forces led by Yang Que could not add fuel to the fire in this situation. They could only quickly withdraw from the dispute between the two major powers, forming layers of protection with Plant Spirit Beasts to defend Central City.

Many of the buildings in Central City were constructed from extremely hard materials, which would prevent the entire city from becoming unrecognizable with proper protection.

The colors of chaos whirled, three colors of Demon Flame ignited in the very center of the city and spread unstoppably, streets and ground shattered endlessly due to the clash of Soul Pet energies, and various types of powers tumbled in the air, throwing even the vast skies above Spirit City into chaos!

Continuous thunderous roars rang by the ears, amidst billowing smoke, Chu Mu, in white clothes, quietly stood on the Honor platform only supported by ruins.

Next, Chu Mu no longer needed to participate in the battle. The grand army of Nightmare Demon Palace, led by Shen Mo and Shen Qiu, would lead the alliance of the Three Great Palaces to sweep through Spirit City thoroughly. All Soul Alliance forces would be uprooted, and from today on, this Spirit City would become an important base for the Three Great Palaces!!

What Chu Mu needed to do now was to take the Spiritual Load back from Zhu Chao and then let the White Nightmare Emperor, White Four, and the White Demon Kings indulge in the blood of their enemies with the Nightmare Demon Palace Army!!

Chu Mu had learned of the plans of the Three Great Palaces more than a month ago.

The infiltration of the Nightmare Demon Palace’s grand army actually began shortly after the Nightmare Demon Palace Crown Prince Shen Mo entered Spirit City, and it was Shen Mo who quietly distributed this force in the heart of Central City, waiting for today’s deadly purge!

When Nightmare Demon Palace acted, they were even more ruthless. They did not care about the severe consequences that the bloody battle would bring about. They had only one goal, which was to annihilate the Soul Alliance without leaving a single piece of armor.

As Zhu Chao led a group of Soul Alliance masters to flee in disarray, the chaos at the Central Plaza gradually shifted towards the Outer City and beyond.

Ye Wansheng stared blankly at the billowing smoke that spread from Central City to the Outside City and the entire city turned into one vast ruin. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

“Chu… Chu Mu, could you let me know in advance if you have any plans next time!!” Ye Wansheng was in shock.

Because this was the first time Ye Wansheng had witnessed such a shocking battle of Soul Pet Masters, and all Soul Emperors were involved in this battle!!

“I only knew that the Nightmare Demon Palace had a trump card and that they planned to strike at the Soul Alliance forces today. I had no idea that the father and son duo of Shen Qiu and Shen Mo from the Nightmare Demon Palace had such tricks up their sleeve,” Chu Mu replied.

“I’m going to kill a few of those bastards under Zhu Chao too!” Ye Wansheng swept a glance at Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi, then turned and flew towards the ongoing war that was spreading eastward.

“Young Master Chu, please follow me back to Soul Hall quickly. City Lord Yang Que must also be aware that the situation has completely changed, and he may take drastic actions against you,” Princess Wan Ning, accompanied by the two Elders, approached Chu Mu.

“I’ll be fine, you take Man’er and head back to Soul Hall first, be careful on the way,” Chu Mu nodded.

Although everything was settled, it was difficult to predict City Lord Yang Que’s actions. Chu Mu wasn’t worried about Yang Que himself, but Yang Que was very likely to take advantage of the war between the Three Great Palaces and the Soul Alliance to eradicate the palaces of the Three Great Palaces as well, so Yang Que had to be guarded against.

“Then… then, Young Master Chu, please be very careful,” Princess Wan Ning didn’t linger in the chaos any longer, taking Ning Man’er, the two Elders, and some holy guards of the Soul Hall, and hurried back to Soul Hall.

…

The plaza was in ruins, flames were everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of burning and the stench of blood.

In the daytime, this Central Square was teeming with people.

As nightfall descended, the square was beyond recognition, shattered by the clash of two great powers, with most of the bodies of people and Soul Pets buried among the rubble.

The robe fluttered in the howling wind, wrapping Ye Qingzi’s slender and graceful figure as she stood silently in this blood-drenched battlefield, exuding a sense of tragic beauty and desolation.

A mask covered her face, and because she had put it on in a hurry, Ye Qingzi’s hair was a bit disheveled.

She stood there, staring at the familiar yet strange man’s silhouette.

For some reason, as everything receded into silence, she didn’t dare to take a single step towards him.

Chu Mu’s back was turned to Ye Qingzi, his gaze fixed on the huge Thunder Snake in the distance.

Suddenly, a smile spread across Chu Mu’s face. Slowly, he opened his palm and grasped at the void!

In the space, a ripple appeared, followed by an ancient vessel that slowly materialized in the palm of his hand.

Only then did Chu Mu turn around and take a few steps towards Ye Qingzi.

“A little over a month ago, Ye Wansheng already told me about the Spiritual Load. I didn’t want to affect your competition, so I waited until now to come see you…”

Chu Mu walked up to Ye Qingzi and placed the Spiritual Load in her hands.

Through the mask, Chu Mu gazed into Ye Qingzi’s eyes, his cold eyes gradually revealing a hint of tenderness:

“Qingzi… I’m sorry for making you wait for me for so long.”

For some reason, Ye Qingzi’s tears just wouldn’t stop flowing today. Even with the mask on, she couldn’t hide them.

Her hand touched the Spiritual Load, and also Chu Mu’s warm palm…

This moment, Ye Qingzi’s heart was trembling.

The trembling wasn’t because the Spiritual Load was back in her hands, but because she felt the true warmth from Chu Mu’s palm.

For her, he had erupted in anger; for her, he had turned the honor platform into an execution platform; for her, he had confronted the Medicine Desolate Zhu Chao… and all just to retrieve the Spiritual Load for her…

He always appeared when she was most helpless, helping to soothe her bruised heart.

She longed to throw herself into this man’s arms and let his body heat completely melt her.

But, thinking of the horrible face beneath her mask, Ye Qingzi simply lost her courage.

This time, the bodily backlash was far more severe than before. If her appearance were to be completely destroyed like this…

“Qingzi, what’s wrong?” Chu Mu reached out his hand; he didn’t want their reunion after nearly four years to be separated by such a mask.

So, he tried to take off Ye Qingzi’s mask.

“Don’t!” Suddenly, Ye Qingzi trembled all over and somewhat frantically pushed Chu Mu’s hand away.

If Chu Mu saw her looking like that again, Ye Qingzi would rather let Zhu Chao kill her.

Ye Qingzi still remembered the horrified and frightened expressions of everyone when she had removed her mask before. If such an expression were to appear on the face of the person she liked, it would instantly shatter her spirit.

“Chu… Chu Mu, can you not come any closer to me for now?” Ye Qingzi pleaded with him.

Chu Mu longed to hold Ye Qingzi tightly but seeing her react so violently, he understood that she was self-conscious about her face; she didn’t want to reveal her ugly side to him…

“Qingzi, it’s okay. It won’t take long for you to be restored to your former self,” Chu Mu consoled her.

Ye Qingzi looked at Chu Mu, hesitated for a long time, and then spoke to Chu Mu with difficulty: “Chu Mu… what if I can’t recover, and I have to wear this cold mask forever?”

Not recover?

Chu Mu was stunned!

For a moment, Chu Mu couldn’t respond, merely staring blankly at Ye Qingzi.

“Chu Mu…” Seeing Chu Mu silent, Ye Qingzi felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Suddenly, she recalled a teasing remark Ye Wansheng had once made: “If you permanently turn into this ghostly figure, who would dare to want you…”

In that instant, Ye Qingzi felt as if struck by lightning, afraid to think further, and began to chant a spell in a daze…

…

Chu Mu stood there, staring blankly as Ye Qingzi, controlling the Purple Gown Dream Beast, seemed to flee towards the outskirts of the city at a mad sprint, gradually disappearing from his view.

In his ears was the rumbling sound from outside the eastern part of the city, but his mind echoed with Ye Qingzi’s last words, “If I cannot recover!” Alone in his white clothes, Chu Mu stood on the ruins of the city, questioning his heart…

…

…

Ye Qingzi sprinted all the way, Chu Mu hadn’t even responded, which made her dare not face him anymore.

The farther Ye Qingzi went, the more her mind filled with her frightful appearance.

The city was gradually left behind by Ye Qingzi. The Purple Gown Dream Beast, running at high speed, was also as weary as its master, and it slowly carried Ye Qingzi, stopping by the creek that flowed out from the distant ravine.

Ye Qingzi jumped off the Purple Gown Dream Beast, took off her mask, and walked slowly to the side of the flowing creek.

The creek water was crystal clear, reflecting that face which made Ye Qingzi want to tear it to pieces with her own hands!

“I must recover no matter what! I must recover no matter what!!!” Ye Qingzi couldn’t let go of Chu Mu.

She would try everything to get her appearance back, no matter how long it took, no matter how difficult it was. She had to regain her appearance; she didn’t want to wear this mask of hatred!

“Whooo~~~~~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, the Purple Gown Dream Beast let out a cry.

Ye Qingzi’s body shivered slightly; in a panic, she quickly put her mask back on.

It was Chu Mu. Even without looking back, Ye Qingzi knew it was Chu Mu who had followed her.

“Qingzi, you know I would not lie to you,” Chu Mu’s voice came from behind Ye Qingzi.

Ye Qingzi didn’t dare turn around, only watching intensely in the creek at her own reflection with the mask on.

“A long time ago, there was a face as beautiful as a heavenly immortal, which caused my heart great pain, unforgettable for a lifetime. Therefore, a face that could overturn nations and cities has always been a nameless fear to me…” Chu Mu with the mask walked slowly to the back of Ye Qingzi,

“Qingzi, I really like you. But I dare not say that I truly don’t mind what you look like…” Chu Mu said very seriously.

Hearing these words, Ye Qingzi’s frail body trembled slightly, already somewhat afraid to continue listening.

However, in the next moment, Ye Qingzi was stunned.

Because in the reflection of the water, another mask suddenly appeared!

Ye Qingzi abruptly turned around, staring in shock at Chu Mu, who was also wearing a mask, and she was utterly dumbfounded.

“If you cannot recover, then wear the mask. I will too keep wearing a mask…”

After saying those words, Chu Mu suddenly embraced Ye Qingzi, not giving her a chance to struggle, holding her tightly in an embrace that was difficult to separate.

Chu Mu lowered his head, letting the two cold masks touch each other, and through the cold material, he kissed her deeply.

Ye Qingzi couldn’t feel Chu Mu’s lips at all…

But Chu Mu’s words completely melted Ye Qingzi’s heart, turning it into countless tear crystals, gushing from the windows of her soul, sliding down her face tainted with poison, drop by drop falling from beneath the mask…

(To say I don’t care would be a lie… Little Fish writes cliched scripts but gives a not-so-clichéd answer, I guess.)

(The scene of “I will also wear a mask” is one I’ve thought about for a long time… But I always feel I haven’t written it to the taste I want, not sure what exactly is wrong… Maybe I haven’t written romance for so long, it feels rusty… I’m really sorry for delaying so long in posting this chapter… because I spent all day thinking about how to write this chapter properly… but it kept turning out less than ideal… oh well, forget it.)

(After writing this chapter, I’m also very tired… It’s the last day of the 30th, I hope everyone can give Little Fish some monthly tickets at the end, if you’re still somewhat satisfied with Chu Mu’s response…)
