Chapter 594: Chapter 465: Unknown Lord, Temporary Trap

The Assassin Leader sat in the tent, closing his eyes and meditating.

This Assassin Leader was also a member of the young generation and a member of the second-tier, being a Second Thought Soul Master.

Once reaching the Soul Lord level, enhancing one’s strength becomes exceptionally difficult. This Assassin Leader was currently striving to break through from the second to the third thought.

All these assassins were elites. The Assassin Array set up in this jungle made it virtually impossible for anyone in the second-tier to break through, let alone infiltrate the camp’s central position.

Therefore, the Assassin Leader didn’t stay on high alert during his meditation but instead focused on entering the meditative state.

Suddenly, the Assassin leader heard footsteps. He furrowed his brow and subconsciously snorted, “Didn’t I tell you not to bother me?”

The Assassin leader opened his eyes to see who had disturbed him. The moment he did, his expression changed drastically, and he urgently stood up, kneeling before the man who had entered, saying fearfully, “Sir, I was unaware it was you who came. Please forgive me, please forgive me.”

“How’s the situation?” The man coldly glanced at the Assassin Leader and asked.

“Three have died. There should be a hidden powerhouse among the second-tier members. There hasn’t been any report from Old Nine, but they should have succeeded,” replied the Assassin Leader.

“When I came, I saw that the three men had been killed by Chu Chen. Is Chu Chen considered a hidden powerhouse?” the man said.

“Chu Chen? This… I honestly didn’t expect that… I’ll send someone to assassinate him now.” The Assassin Leader slightly raised his head but didn’t dare to look at the man’s face.

“He was once the Prison Island King. His ability to survive in the wilderness is far superior to yours. Maybe he’s hiding nearby, ready to take your dog life!” The man’s gaze became icy.

“It was my negligence, it was my negligence.” The Assassin Leader hurriedly said, “Rest assured, as long as he appears again, we’ll definitely capture him. Lord Shen has already instructed us.”

“Has Lord Hao given you any other orders recently?” The man asked.

“Other orders?” The Assassin Leader thought carefully for a moment before saying, “No, we follow your command and report directly to Lord Shen.”

“Hasn’t your lord given you any special instructions?” the man continued to ask.

“I’ve never met the Lord. All I know is that they’re in the seventh realm. Sir, why are you here… isn’t your breakthrough mission…” The Assassin Leader’s tone changed slightly.

At these words, the man’s expression changed noticeably.

“Swoosh!”

Suddenly, a fierce cold light swept across, and a Claw Blade sliced through the Assassin Leader’s neck, cruelly ripping open his blood vessels.

In an instant, fresh blood gushed out, splashing on the tent!

The Assassin Leader’s eyes widened. By the time he had asked that question, he had already become wary.

But the Assassin Leader’s reaction was still too slow…

As his life rapidly slipped away, the Assassin Leader stared at the man, gradually noticing the man’s appearance and temperament slowly changing, transforming into someone else entirely.

…

Chu Mu released his Soul Sense, controlling the bloody smell to prevent it from spreading.

He calmly stood by the Assassin Leader’s corpse. The Assassin Leader’s full concentration on his meditation had provided Chu Mu with an opportunity to create a dreamland.

Once in the dreamland, the the Assassin Leader mistook Chu Mu for their lord. Chu Mu went along with it, trying to get as much information as possible.

Chu Mu knew that every assassin had undergone strict training, and their vigilance was extremely strong, so he was very cautious in his speech.

At the same time, Chu Mu noticed that the Assassin Leader had answered very cautiously, hardly revealing any valuable information until his final words “Our Lord is in the Seventh Realm.”

Chu Mu could now confirm that these assassins were directly under Shen Yicheng’s command. This meant that Shen Yicheng was definitely in this seventh realm and likely the murderer who had attacked the race members before heading to the end point beforehand.

From the Assassin Leader’s words, someone they called their “Lord” was crucially important and likely had a direct connection to the manipulating Defecting Girl.

Chu Mu could feel that he was coming into contact with the Defecting Girl’s forces, and he might be getting closer to the conspiracy she had set up for The World Decree, step by step.

Chu Mu couldn’t let the Defecting Girl do as she wished. No matter what she intended to do in this seventh realm, he must uncover the truth.

“Young Master, I think there’s someone quite suspicious.” At this time, the voice of Fox Elder came out.

“Who?” Chu Mu asked.

“That Liu Zhang,” Fox Elder replied.

“Why do you find him suspicious? At least we’re on the same side, and he hasn’t shown any signs that make me think he’s suspicious,” Chu Mu said.

Chu Mu rarely cooperated with others, and even if he did, he would always maintain the highest vigilance towards his teammates. So when Princess Jinrou proposed to gradually absorb other team members, Chu Mu firmly opposed it.

Chu Mu would rather face a large group of enemies than constantly be on guard against the so-called “companions” around him!

“It’s just a feeling; first, his ability to hide his aura is very strong. Even though he claims to train frequently in the wild, this could also be the skill of an assassin. Second, the expression on his face when he discovered that you were dragging the corpse back; it seemed like he shuddered first, and then showed an astonished look. Lastly, when you left… I was on the Night Thunder Dream Beast at that time and observed him carefully; his expression was a mix of complexity and delight…” Fox Elder explained.

“You think he has ulterior motives, or that he’s one of the assassins. I’ve seen these tricks before, but I don’t think his behavior makes sense,” Chu Mu said.

“Not necessarily, what if, I mean, what if they are after Princess Jinrou this time?” Fox Elder suggested.

“For her? There’s no reason… and besides, Princess Jinrou has heard of Liu Zhang before. Her guard once saved him… wait, it’s possible that they wanted to control Princess Jinrou earlier and sent a few people to lay the groundwork in advance,” Chu Mu quickly realized that something was wrong.

“To confirm this is actually simple. Liu Zhang must know that you’ve entered the assassins’ camp. If the assassins’ formation changes later, it’s almost certain that he informed them,” Fox Elder commented.

After Fox Elder finished speaking, Chu Mu’s face darkened.

This confirmation required betting his life! Because once the assassins’ formation changed, it meant that all their attacks would be aimed at him.

Now, he found himself in a very dangerous situation!

“Old bastard, why didn’t you mention this earlier!” Chu Mu scolded.

Chu Mu didn’t dare to stay here any longer, so he jumped out of the tent and wanted to leave the dangerous assassins’ camp as soon as possible.

“I can’t be all-knowing! I suddenly thought about it when the assassin leader mentioned someone called ‘Old Nine’,” Fox Elder replied.

Not wanting to waste time talking with Fox Elder, Chu Mu flew into the pitch-black forest on the back of the Night Thunder Dream Beast.

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

The sound of footsteps echoed in the forest around Chu Mu, as shadows interweaved and darted around!

Hidden spirits, demon beasts with astonishing speed and explosive power, dark eagles flying assault from overhead…

When Chu Mu rushed out of the assassins’ camp, countless soul pets appeared around him, completely locking onto him. It was evident that they had fully discovered the intruder, Chu Mu!

Chu Mu’s heart sank. He hadn’t disturbed any assassins when entering the leader’s tent and had cleaned up the aftermath exceptionally well. Even if the assassins noticed an intrusion, they shouldn’t have changed their formation so quickly, which could only mean that they had been prepared for the trap all along!

Now, it was proven that Liu Zhang was one of the assassins called “Old Nine”. Chu Mu was familiar with these tricks, but he still fell into their trap.

“If I’m here in a temporary trap, then the situation with Princess Jinrou is more premeditated… she doesn’t know anything about the jungle…” Chu Mu quickly realized this critical issue!

Princess Jinrou was extremely powerful, and it would be challenging for Liu Zhang to take her down. The problem was that Princess Jinrou was not familiar with the wild training, and even if she was cautious, she could still inadvertently fall into the traps set by Liu Zhang and the assassins!

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Three chilling claw marks swept past Chu Mu’s side. As Chu Mu sped past, a large number of trees on both sides fell. If he were just a bit slower, Chu Mu and the Night Thunder Dream Beast would be chopped in half!

Chu Mu’s expression became more solemn, and he found himself trapped in the midst of danger. He had to break free before he could attend to Princess Jinrou’s situation.

“Mo Ye!” Chu Mu couldn’t afford to save strength any longer and summoned Mo Ye to his side.

Moonlight streamed through the leaves, and Mo Ye, bathed in strands of glorious light, quickly transformed into the Nine-Tailed Crown Flame Fox. The Crown Flame claws tore a dazzling arc of fire in the dark night, shattering a green-eyed monster that was blocking Chu Mu’s path!
