Chapter 389: 265: Conspiracy Showdown

Translator: 549690339

Chu Mu’s premonition hadn’t been wrong. When he and his team quietly hidden themselves near the Old Site Hall, Yu He, Lu Ying, and three others appeared as he had anticipated. From their stance, it was clear that they were intending to tear this Old Site Hall apart.

“They pinpointed this place, probably because someone from the Elemental Gate might have found something here beforehand.” Young lady Ye Qingzi quietly spoke to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu nodded, whispering to Ye Qingzi, “Lu Ying’s strength should be on par with Yu He. You will have to hold him back.”

“Yeah, even if I can’t win, I can wear him down.” Ye Qingzi replied.

The soul pets in Ye Qingzi’s possession were mostly supportive types, possessing the likes of a powerful healing Soul Pet like Water Moon. They could infinitely stretch out the duration of a battle…

“So should we and Dongqing take care of one each, and for the rest, we’ll play it by the ear.” Ye Wansheng suggested.

After quickly distributing tasks amongst them, they began waiting for the optimal moment to strike.

“We’ve searched the vicinity more than ten times, Yu He. Why does it feel like you’re leading us in circles?” one member of the Elemental Gate grumbled.

“The Qingzhe Dragon is near. Trust me, I can’t be wrong.” Yu He confidently smiled.

“Let’s head down. I sense that the space below is vast, we could find something.” Lu Ying showed no doubt towards Yu He and pointed to the huge pit dug up by Gluttonous Insect monsters beneath their feet.

The group was rather careful and tactful, only dropping down into the Old Site Hall after making their Insect-type and Rock-type soul pets scout ahead.

“I loathe damp places.” a female Soul Pet Trainer complained with a frown.

“Nothing to worry about, let’s go down.”

Without overthinking, the group jumped one by one into the pitch-black Old Site Hall.

There was stagnant water all around the Old Site Hall. The moment they jumped in, the damp atmosphere, that itched their whole body, rushed upon them. The female Soul Pet Trainer, who had been extremely dissatisfied earlier, grew even more reluctant.

“Fang Tong, if you are uncomfortable, you can go back.” Yu He glanced at the female Soul Pet Trainer and said.

“I despise water the most, especially when it’s dirty and foul like this. I think I will wait for you guys on the surface.” Having barely walked a few steps, Fang Tong, the female Soul Pet Trainer, began to display a temper and was determined to leave riding her Insect-type soul pet.

“Yeah, remember to take a right when you reach the underground tunnel. You will see a ‘T’ shaped passage, take a left and you will see a well. You can wait for us over there.” Yu He reminded Fang Tong.

Fang Tong nodded and quickly went back into the underground tunnel. As she complained, she thought that had she known earlier that this task would be so hard and thankless, she wouldn’t have participated. The constant to and fro from the Underground Ruins these past few days did not let her sleep well.

“Now that Fang Tong has left, we’re short-staffed. If we run into other factions, we will be at a disadvantage.” The young man who hadn’t spoken till now finally opened his mouth.

“Don’t worry, they won’t possibly find this place.” Yu He said with certainty.

“Doesn’t matter, Fang Tong is only half useful. Her presence or lack thereof doesn’t make a difference.” said Lu Ying with a tone of mockery.

The other three members of Elemental Gate did not appreciate Lu Ying’s words. For them, debasing Fang Tong meant debasing the Elemental Gate.

However, none of them dared to confront Lu Ying because he was from the Soul Covenant. His strength was also apparent to everyone.

Watching the female Soul Pet Trainer emerge, Chu Mu and his team hidden in the Underground Tunnel shared a glacial glare.

“Should we kill or not?” Ye Wansheng asked Chu Mu.

“Let her go. We better not alarm the guys below.” Chu Mu replied.

The woman Soul Pet Trainer leaving the group had eased the pressure on Chu Mu and his team. They were quite hopeful about eliminating the four including Yu He, who were left behind.

The woman named Fang Tong was still complaining and grumbling, blissfully unaware that she just narrowly escaped death.

When she entered the sewer, she had already switched her Soul Pets, riding her Demon Spirit and searching for the well entrance according to Yu He’s directions.

“Reached the T-shaped Passage and went left, it should be over here,” Fang Tong paused at the fork in the road and after confirming her direction, she did not linger and continued to move forward.

“It’s strange. Why can’t I see the well entrance yet, didn’t Yu He say I should be able to see it very quickly?” After moving forward for about a few minutes, Fang Tong had still not seen any light, and her brow was also furrowed.

She walked a little further and felt that this road didn’t seem to lead to a well entrance, so she instructed her soul pets to stop.

“That damned Yu He, did he give this young lady the wrong directions? If he didn’t know, he shouldn’t have pointed out randomly and wasted this young lady’s time,” Fang Tong grumbled irritably.

The empty underground passage was straight, dark and damp; Fang Tong’s muttering quickly turned into strange echoes that made their way back to her ears.

“Little girl, of course this path is correct.”

Suddenly, a spine-chilling voice echoed through the pitch-dark tunnel!

Fang Tong shuddered all over and quickly started to cast a spell, summoning her other two Soul Pets to her side.

“Who? Who is it, come out!” Fang Tong called out, lacking a bit of confidence.

“I’m right beside you…”

An eerie event occurred. As Fang Tong was looking for the voice’s owner, she suddenly found that the voice was right next to her ear! She could even feel the repugnant stench of cold air hit her face as the person spoke!

In the Old Site Hall, Chu Mu rode the Night Thunder Dream Beast, hidden atop a broken column, completely shrouded in darkness.

His eyes were sharp and indifferent, allowing him to overlook the four people in the Old Site Hall.

When Chu Mu noticed that the four of them had began to scatter, a cold smirk surfaced on his face as he informed Ye Qingzi and Dongqing through his Soul Sense, saying: “Release!”

Ye Qingzi and Dongqing had already summoned Water Moon Wizard and Mad Qi Water Beast. After Chu Mu gave the command, the two water-system Soul Pets began to prepare their skills!!

“Whosh  whosh  whosh”

Suddenly, there was a violent tremor above the Old Site Hall, followed by the sound of intense water impact!

“What’s happening!”

The Old Site Hall started to sway, and panic appeared on the faces of Yu He’s group of four.

“Could it be that the Qingzhe Dragon has broken out of its cocoon?”

Lu Ying said in astonishment. According to the news leaked by Yu He, the Qingzhe Dragon was very likely to be nearby, and the only thing that could make such a big noise was definitely the Qingzhe Dragon.

“Drip drip  drip”

Suddenly, the ceiling of the Old Site Hall started to drip liquid. The frequency of the dripping increased until it was like a downpour.

Yu He looked up and his face turned a shade paler. He shouted, “Summon Water System Soul Pets!”

Almost as soon as Yu He’s words fell, a torrential waterfall gushed from the hole in the ceiling of the Old Site Hall, pouring into the hall like a raging river!

“Rumble rumble rumble”

The waterfall caused the entire Old Site Hall to shake violently, and the water even tried to spread throughout the hall!

“Damn it, they deliberately drained the water, then hoarded it, waiting for us to get in here!” Yu He grumbled angrily.
