Chapter 687: Chapter 557: The Trap of the Sealed World

The space within the seal was dark and dayless, like an underground cave devoid of any light. All that could be seen was the endless darkness and cold chaos, with an extremely limited area for activity.

The pale Devil Flame from the White Demon and White Demon Princess barely illuminated the bizarre outline of the half-arc dome of this sealed space.

This whole space was a semi-circular inner world with a very small area. The area illuminated by the demonic flames was just as narrow.

The sealed space was very suffocating. Ye Qingzi, Ye Wansheng, Princess Jinrou, and everyone else’s soul pets were all immersed, making the entire space feel even more eerie and strange.

At this point, they all knew that Chu Mu and Mo Ye couldn’t possibly survive. What made their hearts tremble was not only Chu Mu’s sinking into the swamp of death, but also Mo Ye’s final desperate breakthrough of the barrier and entering the army of thousands all by himself.

A mid-stage ninth-rank Mo Ye, even with the continuous effect of Demon Moon Arrival, could only have the strength of just one low-grade Monarch-level Stone Guardian.

At most, it could contend with one Stone Guardian, yet it charged into an area with a thousand of these Stone Guardians!

This was an impossible power to contend with. Mo Ye, with its wisdom, knew that charging out like this had no meaning whatsoever. In fact, it might not even have a chance to reach Chu Mu’s side at all.

But still, it rushed out without any reason!

Princess Jinrou’s lips were almost bitten through. She was the only one who knew that Mo Ye was a continuously mutating Soul Pet.

Indeed, creatures like Mo Ye that could continuously mutate actually transcended humans in existence. Although it was currently Chu Mu’s soul pet, from a truly macro view of life, such a high-level lifeform being Chu Mu’s soul pet was just a fledgling reliance. A hundred years later, when Chu Mu, the Soul Pet Master, aged, it would still be alive and embark on a higher life journey.

Therefore, Princess Jinrou understood very well that, from the standpoint of the meaning of life, humans might be the masters of soul pets, but for many truly high level lifeforms, humans were just a stepping stone for them to grow rapidly. After all, some Emperor-level or even transcendent Emperor existences that had lived for thousands of years, becoming a human soul pet might just be the initial stage of life…

The relationship between humans and soul pets is not one of master and servant, and Princess Jinrou deeply understood this truth.

Without Chu Mu, Mo Ye, who defied the laws of life, could still continue to grow and become the highest level of existence. It would continuously mutate, mutating into an Emperor, mutating beyond the Emperor, and even mutating into the dominator of all life, an existence like a god…

The Nine-Tailed Crown Flame Fox, with a fully mature mind and an already understood position, should have known how to choose.

However, Mo Ye still made such a decision without any reason, which made people feel even more uncomfortable.

After the soul contract was severed, even soul pets closely connected with their soul pet masters would still continue to survive. However, Mo Ye’s behavior was like a noble lifeform voluntarily ending its life in burial, which was like following their master to the grave!

…

“There should be a final glorious Blood Beast sealed in here, why is there nothing?” Ye Wansheng’s voice finally broke the silence.

Ye Wansheng also knew that Chu Mu was truly doomed this time.

Ye Wansheng was a sensible person as well. Now, grieving for Chu Mu and Mo Ye had no great significance. Instead, they should consider how to properly grasp the chance Chu Mu had obtained for them to survive.

Ye Wansheng had already taken a look around, and he hadn’t seen the sealed Blood Beast, which was very strange.

Ye Qingzi was already covering her nose and beginning to sob lightly; she had no mood to care whether there was a Blood Beast in the seal or not. Her entire being was immersed in a kind of depression, and the expression on her face showed that she was trying her best to control herself. However, the more she tried to control herself, the more uncontrollable she seemed.

“It’s simple, we killed it.”

Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded in the empty sealed space.

The voice was very abrupt, instantly awakening the three of them. All three visibly hesitated before looking horrified at the corner of the sealed space.

At this point, two figures appeared in the corner of the seal. One was tall and skinny, appearing extremely pale under the white demonic flame light, like a frozen corpse.

The other man had an empty-eyed, unemotional expression, cold and indifferent, yet somehow giving off a sharp aura. Clearly, he was a dangerous person!

“That idiot Si Tian actually woke up all the Stone Guardians, simply leading himself to his death. Fortunately, you are not stupid enough to know to hide in the sealed space.” An indifferent voice came from the cold and solemn man.

When Ye Qingzi saw this man, she suddenly felt a chill throughout her body!

This person was none other than the powerful Soul Covenant member Qin Ye, who had meticulously planned to kill Chu Mu and himself back in the Eighth Realm!

Ye Qingzi would never have expected Qin Ye to appear here, and even felt that everything was like a conspiracy!

“Xia Guanghan!!”

Princess Jinrou furrowed her eyebrows, her eyes cold with a touch of anger.

In previous years, Xia Guanghan had appeared by Princess Jinrou’s side. Initially, she believed he was genuinely loyal to her, but later discovered that he had great ambitions, colluding with all major powers, and even lurking in her presence.

Xia Guanghan’s lurking caused Princess Jinrou to feel afraid. When she was in Jia City, she had informed Chu Mu that those guards were spying on her, and she didn’t know when Xia Guanghan had gained control over people around her.

Only in the past two years, when Princess Jinrou detected some of his bigger ambitions, did she finally get rid of him. Unexpectedly, he still appeared here!

“Princess, I gave you the blueprint of Immortal City, and you successfully brought them into this inescapable space. There’s no need to pretend anymore; they have become sitting ducks.” Xia Guanghan revealed a smile on his pale face.

Xia Guanghan’s words immediately changed the expressions of Ye Wansheng and Ye Qingzi. Their gazes fell on Princess Jinrou, revealing a hint of hostility.

The siblings never dreamed that this was a conspiracy plotted by Xia Guanghan and Princess Jinrou, luring them into this sealed space deliberately!

Xia Guanghan’s words left Princess Jinrou unable to remain calm, her eyes filled with intense anger.

Princess Jinrou hadn’t expected Xia Guanghan to be so cunning to this extent, purposefully letting others inform her about the Immortal City’s blueprint, then guessing she would contact Chu Mu, only to fall into his trap…

No wonder there were signs that the seal had been opened before, and no wonder Princess Jinrou didn’t need to use her Soul Sense for the seal to reverse – everything had a reason!

“Since you all look so puzzled and we have plenty of time, let me explain. By giving you the blueprint, I ensured that you would be the first to reach the Blood Beast Altar. I tinkered with the altar’s seal; regardless of who opened it, the one who reversed the seal would be sealed in. Once one of you fell into the sealed space, I guess none of the others would just stand by and watch. So, Princess deliberately told you that the seal was unstable and could be destroyed from within. That way, you wouldn’t hesitate to enter the sealed space and fall into the trap I, Xia Guanghan, had set up…”

Xia Guanghan laughed arrogantly, continuing, “Of course, you arrived later than we expected, and you ran into Si Tian, which led to such a commotion.”

“Either way, you all fell into the trap.” Xia Guanghan laughed heartily.

This plan had been devised by Xia Guanghan when the Female Sovereign informed him she would take him into Immortal City.

In this sealed space, Xia Guanghan could summon freely, and with Qin Ye’s assistance, it would be too easy to subdue them, leaving Chu Mu and Mo Ye with no chance of escape!

“Don’t look at me like that. He’s deliberately driving a wedge between us. If I were just a pawn trying to drag you into the trap, I wouldn’t have told Chu Mu about his father’s sealed Soul Pet or have ‘arrived late’.” Princess Jinrou tried to maintain her composure as she spoke, sensing the hostility from the Ye family siblings.

Hearing Princess Jinrou’s words, Xia Guanghan was stunned. He hadn’t expected his arrogant speech to let the others see through his attempts to sow discord, and couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

However, it didn’t matter. They were all trapped!

“Chu Mu, I, Xia Guanghan, said I would make you pay tenfold, and I won’t disappoint you. Now, do you regret opposing me, Xia Guanghan?” Xia Guanghan laughed loudly, his gaze sweeping over the three people and more than a dozen Soul Pets…

The sealed space was dark, and although Xia Guanghan couldn’t see Chu Mu, he subconsciously assumed that Chu Mu was blocked by one of the Soul Pets.

“Chu Mu, why are you shrinking back at this moment? Now, I can give you another chance to challenge me…” Xia Guanghan sneered and shouted.

Xia Guanghan would never forget the grudge of the past; if it weren’t for Chu Mu, he might have been on the verge of becoming a Palace Master with his new generation Soul Pet. Why would he be forced to hide like he was now!

Today, no matter what, Xia Guanghan would make Chu Mu suffer the pain of a thousand cuts!

“Chu Mu is not here.” Ye Qingzi replied coldly.

At this moment, Ye Qingzi was no longer shrouded in sorrow. Instead, she could see the deep anger buried deep within her eyes!

“Not here? Then… where’s the Nine-Tailed Crown Flame Fox?” Xia Guanghan asked with a bewildered expression on his face.
