Chapter 785: Chapter 653: Death is Not a Pity, The Black-hearted World Lord
After the death of the Destructive Wind Emperor, World Lord Luo Black’s soul was severely wounded on all five levels.
At this moment, his life was at its most fragile, and any attack from the White Demon would kill him!
However, the White Demon clearly remembered what Chu Mu had said. It stared at the trembling World Lord Luo Black with a cruel grin, slowly reaching out its hand and grabbing Luo Black’s skull!
The Grudge Flame slowly formed a demonic mark outline, enveloping Luo Black’s body, which also appeared to be burning…
The White Demon slowly lifted its claws, and at this moment, a wisp of soul could be clearly seen being drawn from Luo Black’s body – this was Luo Black’s own soul!
With Luo Black’s soul in its left hand and Luo Black’s carcass in its right, the White Demon once again let out a horrifying laugh, then transformed into a ghostly figure and flew towards Chu Mu’s location.
The soul of a Soul Emperor had a certain level of self-awareness. When Luo Black, now transformed into a soul, saw his own body being held beside him, his soul trembled in panic, and an unprecedented horror struck him!
The White Demon’s speed was extremely fast, and in no time it traversed half of the Western Region City, landing right in front of Chu Mu.
At this time, Mo Ye had also dealt with all the threatening enemies around and slowly walked over to Chu Mu’s side.
“Go to the barracks,” Chu Mu said to the White Demon and Mo Ye.
Chu Mu jumped onto Mo Ye’s back, allowing the White Demon to take World Lord Luo Black directly to the location of the barracks.
Due to the battle between the Emperor-Levels, all the members of the barracks had taken refuge on the other side of the city, watching from a distance.
Now that the battle had finally ended, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even though they did not know what had happened at the end.
Chu Mu marched straight into the barracks. The Soul Pet Masters there did not dare to hinder him and respectfully cleared a path for him.
“Who is the commander?” Chu Mu surveyed the legion of tens of thousands of Soul Pet Masters and asked coldly.
The commanders of the three legions were all from other forces or realms. They stood not far from Chu Mu, and hearing this strong man calling their names, their hearts trembled for fear that the young and powerful man would kill them all in one go.
“I… I am the commander of the Soul Lord Legion… My name is Li Zuofeng. Sir, what… what are your orders?” Li Zuofeng, the commander of the Soul Lord Legion, saluted first before speaking.
Strong ones should be revered. Although their legions were not under the jurisdiction of the young man, he dared to pursue the World Lord, and they could not disobey him.
The other two commanders also staggered forward, offering a terrified and respectful salute.
“How… how can this young man be so young?”
“Yeah, I thought he was middle-aged.”
“He’s so young and he’s fighting against two Soul Emperors. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes…”
Although the free Soul Pet Trainers surrounding them were worried, they couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise when they saw Chu Mu’s appearance!
“White Demon, come here,” Chu Mu called the White Demon to his side.
At Chu Mu’s words, all the legion members on the main street paled in fear, moving away involuntarily. The summoned Soul Pets let out faint cries, their roars suppressed by the White Demon’s intimidating presence.
The White Demon, engulfed in demon flames, floated over to Chu Mu’s side.
At this moment, it still held World Lord Luo Black’s body and soul in its hands.
Luo Black’s soul was completely in despair, hanging his head low, lifeless and still, only the slight trembling indicating that it was not a dead soul.
“This is…”
The three commanders were stunned!!
Many of the more advanced Soul Pet Masters had seen the World Lord before, and when they saw his corpse and soul being held like that, their screams grew louder!
They never would have thought that the young man before them had actually killed the World Lord!!
Moreover, he even extracted the World Lord’s soul!!
Ghost Race Soul Pets were always rare, and most of the Soul Pet Masters present had never seen a real body-free soul. Seeing a high-ranking World Lord reduced to a wisp of a despairing captive soul, a huge wave of emotion surged through their hearts!
“Luo Black, confess everything you’ve done in Barbarian Valley, and tell everything about this disaster!” Chu Mu stared coldly at World Lord Luo Black’s soul and yelled.
Luo Black’s soul trembled and raised his head to see countless eyes staring at him!
“If you want my White Demon to slowly torture you, just take those despicable things you’ve done into the underworld yourself,” Chu Mu said indifferently.
Upon hearing the words “soul torture,” Luo Hei’s soul revealed even more fear.
With his soul being extracted, Luo Hei had no chance of survival. For someone who is bound to die, it is either filled with hatred for the person who killed them or fear of the torture that comes with death.
Luo Hei was well aware that the White Nightmare Demon truly possessed the ability to torment people’s souls. Full of resentment towards Chu Mu, he was even more afraid of being tormented day and night now. The pain of the soul was much stronger than that of the body; to be tormented for a day and a night was unbearable!
“I… I…” Luo Hei’s soul spoke with a weak voice.
Chu Mu looked indifferent as he forced Lord Luo Hei’s soul to confess the whole story of the disaster in the West Region and the attempted genocidal annihilation of the Barbarian Valley.
Although Luo Hei had turned into a soul, when discussing the outbreak of the disaster, he did not mention his own greed for spiritual energy, but that he had unintentionally channeled the spiritual origin…
“I… after the outbreak of the disaster… I called for reinforcements immediately… and sent troops right away. Regarding the Barbarian Valley, I… I just couldn’t find the right opportunity to save people…”
Luo Hei’s words were half true and half false, trying to turn his own greed, ambition, and cruelty into unintentional mistakes and helplessness.
Chu Mu stood by, sneering, but didn’t bother to expose the truth behind this guy’s words. He just wanted everyone to understand how the disaster had erupted and let everyone know the situation in the Barbarian Valley.
However, even as Luo Hei claimed his actions were unintentional mistakes, when the news of Luo Hei causing the disaster spread throughout the entire army, tens of thousands of Soul Pet Masters cursed him loudly!!
Among these tens of thousands of Soul Pet Masters, a large portion were those who had ventured outside to gain experience. Their families were all trapped in the three fallen regions, and many of their comrades were friends they had met while trying to resolve the disaster.
These Soul Pet Masters who had lost their loved ones were driven by grief, transforming it into bloodlust aimed at the West Marsh. They had not expected that this great disaster was caused by Lord Luo Hei.
Because of him, a third of the Western Realm’s territory was lost, and millions were killed. It was almost impossible for anyone with feelings and judgment to control the anger in their hearts!
“Deserves to die!! Deserves to die!!!”
“Deserves death!! Deserves death!!!”
After the truth was revealed, tens of thousands of soldiers in the legion cried out in unison!!
The sound of their voices rolled like waves, and the humble soul of Luo Hei began to curl up.
Never did he expect that when he tried to devour the entire spiritual source in his greed, he would end up in this situation, spat upon and cursed by tens of thousands of Soul Pet Masters!!!
In Chu Mu’s view, a World Lord with such a dark heart must have done more evil deeds than just this one. Thinking about how his grandfather Chu Ming had also been affected by Luo Hei’s unleashing of the plague and departed early, Chu Mu’s anger grew even more.
“Your death is insignificant!” Chu Mu commanded the White Demon.
Suddenly, a black wind hole appeared in the palm of the White Demon, directly sucking in the soul of Lord Luo Hei!
Wind Cave was the White Demon’s Demon Flame Field, and the souls that were sucked in wouldn’t die so easily. Instead, they would be slowly burned by the Demon Flame controlled by the White Demon, until their souls were exhausted and they died in agony!!
Bodies enduring great pain might pass out, but exposed souls, no matter how much pain they bore, could only fully bear it. If Luo Hei’s soul could persevere for longer, Chu Mu wouldn’t suggest torturing him for years!
The painful screams of Luo Hei being sucked into the Wind Cave still echoed in his ears, while his body was casually thrown to the ground by Chu Mu, to be dealt with by the very Soul Pet Masters whose loved ones had been taken from them by Luo Hei.
It’s safe to assume that those grieving and angry Soul Pet Masters would not treat Luo Hei’s body kindly.
“Sir… how many survivors are there in Barbarian Valley?” Li Zuofeng asked softly.
Li Zuofeng was a smart man. He knew that just now, Lord Luo Hei’s soul had been in Chu Mu’s hands. What Luo Hei said could have only been a possibility, but there was no evidence for any of it. If there were indeed survivors in Barbarian Valley, only these people could confirm who was telling the truth.
“There are over 20,000 people left in Barbarian Valley. Tomorrow morning, send some people to bring them out,” Chu Mu said. He wasn’t revealing the truth just to be a righteous hero. He wanted the Western Realm’s army to rescue the people of Barbarian Valley.
Chu Mu was powerful now, but he couldn’t protect all 20,000 weak people. Encountering the remaining forces of the West Marsh, some people would still be killed.
Chu Mu had promised Grandfather Chu Ming to rescue all the living people of Seven Color City without any loss. He would do it no matter what. Moreover, it was more appropriate for the army to protect the 20,000 people. The army had food and medicine, and there were people to take care of the elderly and children.
“Don’t worry, sir. Even if there’s only a handful of survivors, we’ll do everything we can to save them, let alone 20,000 people!” Li Zuofeng said earnestly!
Chu Mu nodded but suddenly remembered something and asked, “I heard that a powerful person invaded the West Marsh Tribe’s territory and made them retreat?”
“Yes, that person is Lord Qiu Di from the Autumn Region. It is said that it was Lord Qiu Di who forced Lord Luo Hei to send troops. Otherwise, that despicable World Lord would still be in power,” Li Zuofeng said.
