The meeting was over, and the major forces probably started considering who exactly would partic.i.p.ate in these three matters, so they did not stay in the City Lord Mansion and left one after another.

“Why didn’t Young Master Chu come? Didn’t he say he would come before the meeting?” After leaving the conference hall, Lord Yu glanced at the Soul Hall members and asked somewhat puzzled.

“Well, this subordinate also doesn’t understand. The young master indeed said he would go looking for a friend and then come back, but later we don’t know where he went and never saw him.” The Deputy Palace Master answered.

Lord Yu’s gaze quickly fell upon Chu Mu because he remembered that the person who had exterminated so many of Duan Xinhe’s soul pets should be Chu Chen, the young master. Why had it inexplicably changed to this kid?

It was quite normal for Lord Yu to feel strange because Chu Mu had disguised himself when he met Lord Yu, and Lord Yu had never seen Chu Mu’s true appearance.

“Is Lord Yu looking for Young Master Chu, intending to have him partic.i.p.ate in the youth team searching for the Qingzhe Dragon?” The Deputy Palace Master inquired.

Lord Yu looked at the deputy palace master and said indifferently, “Do you think there is anyone in Li City Soul Hall more suitable for this task than the Young Master?”

“Well… there is indeed no one…” The Deputy Palace Master felt embarra.s.sed. He had initially wanted to recommend his eldest son to be the team leader for this youth roster, but considering that the Soul Hall’s young master was here, it was estimated that no matter how strong the other young generations were, they would have to step aside. The deputy palace master could only swallow his previous thoughts…

“Go find the young master, and also select a few young experts from the hall for him to find the Qingzhe Dragon. Also, find two strong ones who meet the conditions mentioned by the World Lord just now to kill Duan Xinhe.” Lord Yu spoke.

Since Lord Yu asked the deputy palace master to find two people, it meant that he would have his three people partic.i.p.ate in the team to kill Duan Xinhe, which was tantamount to setting three people in stone.

As for the older generation members, one of the positions would definitely be taken by Lord Yu himself, and the other should be given to the first expert of the Zhanli Realm’s Soul Hall, or it would be Li City Soul Hall Master himself going into battle.

Li City Soul Hall Master was already advanced in age, and Lord Yu had been fully in charge of all matters, including the meeting. The old city master did not even attend.

“When you find Young Master Chu, tell him the contents of today’s meeting and tell him that I have something to say to him.” Lord Yu said.

“This subordinate understands.” The deputy palace master nodded and quickly followed behind Lord Yu.

Since the old city master had made it clear that other forces within the meeting could not partic.i.p.ate, Chu Mu initially did not want to represent any force in searching for the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon. However, considering this issue, he had no choice but to take the Soul Hall youth quota.

After leaving the City Lord Mansion, Chu Mu went straight to the Soul Hall and found Lord Yu.

Lord Yu quickly recognized Chu Mu since his disguised and undisguised appearances were not very different.

“Young Master Chu probably doesn’t want to be an onlooker either, right?” Lord Yu asked.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded, coming to find Lord Yu was naturally for this matter.

“I have asked the deputy palace master to choose some young experts to join the young master’s team. If the young master is interested in the reward, he should make an effort to find the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon.” Lord Yu said.

“No need to find people. I have a few friends who can form a five-person team.” Chu Mu said.

“Oh, since the young master has his own team, that’s also good. It saves us the trouble of finding people.” Lord Yu nodded.

With Chu Mu’s words, the deputy palace master’s face turned a bit unsightly. 50 million was an absolutely considerable reward for the young generation, and it was obviously a contest among the young generations of the major forces. The deputy palace master still wanted the young contestants from Li City Soul Hall to show off, but what made him wryly smile was not only did the young master take the team leader’s position, but he also took all four other positions.

“Um… Young Master Chu, since you are taking all the positions, our hall’s young experts will also feel unbalanced. Please give them one or two positions…” The deputy palace master cautiously said.

“Deputy Palace Master, you just need to focus on killing Duan Xinhe.” Lord Yu did not give the deputy palace master any courtesy and waved his hand, indicating to do as Chu Mu said.

The deputy palace master made a bitter face, wanting to say something but was too scared to do so. He himself was helpless, as Lord Yu was two ranks higher than him, and his words could not be contested. Moreover, the other person was the Soul Hall Young Master, so how could he dare to claim that the young members of his own hall were stronger than the young master and his friends…

After sending off the deputy palace master, Lord Yu specifically brought Chu Mu aside to talk.

“I heard from the Colorful Dome City Palace Master that Young Master Chu witnessed the process when my son was killed?” Lord Yu’s voice turned a few shades heavier.

Mainly, Lord Yu came here for his son’s murder. In fact, he did not really care about the Qingzhe Dragon, but as the Great Palace Master, he had no choice but to put his personal matters aside for the time being.

“Yes.” Immediately Chu Mu briefly recounted his experiences in Colorful Dome City to Palace Master Yu.

Palace Master Yu’s face initially darkened, but when he learned that those men had thrown the corpses of his son and Feng Ya into the Soul Pet Group, his entire body released a cold aura, and the surrounding temperature dropped due to the frightening killing intent from the Palace Master!

“It’s a pity that there’s no direct evidence to prove that Yu He was the one who did it,” Chu Mu said.

Yu He was extremely cunning when he killed Yu Lang and Feng Ya, and had already erased all evidence, including the connection between him and Zhang Qin and Qing Li from several years ago. In a fair trial, as long as the Elemental Gate protected Yu He, Palace Master Yu would have to turn against the Elemental Gate.

“I must avenge my son’s death, even if it means causing conflict with the people of the Elemental Gate. However, I’m sure there must be a behind-the-scenes instigator if my guess is correct,” Palace Master Yu slowly suppressed his emotions.

Chu Mu nodded. He remembered that Master Li had said that the matter was not that simple, as after all, Yu He could not inexplicably kill such a sensitive figure as Yu Lang.

“Recently, there have been attempts to provoke a rift between us and the Elemental Gate, but I never thought my Yu Lang would become a p.a.w.n in this conspiracy…” Palace Master Yu gradually clenched his fists.

The invisible deadly blade of power struggles between factions had already made Palace Master Yu very cautious. Yet, his son Yu Lang, who had ventured out for training, still fell victim to this terrible strife, causing him great pain as a man of power…

“The hidden mastermind wants to break our relations.h.i.+p with the Elemental Gate. I can kill Yu He out of anger, but that would only serve their evil plan,” said Palace Master Yu.

Upon saying this, Palace Master Yu took a deep breath. His steel-like figure slowly knelt down, solemnly and coldly kneeling halfway in front of Chu Mu.

Palace Master Yu was giving Chu Mu a half-kneeling salute?

Chu Mu was stunned, never expecting Palace Master Yu to suddenly do such a thing, and for a moment didn’t know what to do…

As one of the Seven Halls’ Palace Masters, Palace Master Yu already held significant power and would not need to perform a half-kneeling salute even when meeting an Elder-level figure, let alone a young master. So, Palace Master Yu’s actions left Chu Mu feeling very perplexed.

“I have never bowed to my peers in my life, let alone to the younger generation. But today, I, Yu Shang, must ask Young Master Chu for a favor…” Palace Master Yu said with a deep voice.

“Palace Master Yu wants me to kill Yu He while I search for the Qingzhe Dragon?” Chu Mu was no fool, and understood that Palace Master Yu must have performed the half-kneeling gesture for his son.

Palace Master Yu nodded and said, “Yes, if Young Master Chu can avenge my son’s death, I, Yu Shang, will owe you a favor in this life. If there is ever a need for my help, I will never s.h.i.+rk away!”

“Yu He is someone I must kill, and both of my friends also want his life. Even if Palace Master Yu didn’t ask, I would kill him. So don’t worry about this,” Chu Mu said as he helped Palace Master Yu to his feet.

“As long as Young Master Chu kills him, I, Yu Shang, will be eternally grateful!” Palace Master Yu stood up, his square face taking on a touch of cold severity. No matter his emotions, he remained solemn, never laughing, and never showing a trace of grief…

Chu Mu’s main focus now was naturally to align with Soul Hall. To have a figure like Yu Shang owe him a favor could be greatly beneficial in the future, so Chu Mu would gladly accept this task even if it were a special request.

After leaving Soul Hall, Chu Mu felt a mix of emotions, especially when he thought of the scene of the proud and dignified Palace Master Yu kneeling halfway.

Without guessing, Chu Mu knew that Yu Shang must be an extremely dignified person who never bowed to others. His son had been murdered, and he was filled with countless pent-up anger but had to consider the bigger picture. As a powerful man, he had to rely on others to avenge his son’s death. Chu Mu could relate to this mixture of sadness and powerlessness.

The greater the power, the more one had to consider. Regardless, Chu Mu admired Yu Shang as a figure who, despite his high position, displayed the greatness and helplessness of a father.

The rain curtain still hung over the vast city, unceasingly pouring down. Chu Mu stood in the rain, and without realizing it, he thought of his father, Chu Tianmang. When Chu Mu disappeared, his father must have felt the same as Palace Master Yu…

“Main pet self-destruction…” Chu Mu shook his head, as the mere thought was enough to make his heart tremble, for that was an extraordinarily tragic event for a Soul Pet Master…

“Soul Covenant, hmph, this time you will not succeed!”

In the cold rain, Chu Mu tightly clenched his dual fists.
