Chapter 593 - 464: Lone Army Entering Enemy Territory
Three assassins not being part of that group, unexpectedly called singled out, this statement is rather hard to accept, after all, the strength of these three assassins is not bad!
Chu Mu glanced at the green-eyed beast that Princess Jinrou had killed not far away and said:
“There is a large group of assassins within 5,000 meters ahead of us, about 20 of them. I am wondering how such a large group of assassins from a certain faction could appear in the seventh realm?”
As soon as Chu Mu finished speaking, Princess Jinrou was surprised and blinked her eyes, deliberately glancing at Liu Zhang.
After hearing Chu Mu’s words, Liu Zhang’s jaw dropped even more!
Liu Zhang never thought that this guy would understand the situation ahead so quickly, as that web set up ahead was almost impenetrable, and once it was touched, it would be found by the assassins!
Just now, he had said that it was almost impossible for anyone at the second level to infiltrate the assassins’ group and understand their situation, but while the echo of his words was still floating in the mountain forest, Chu Mu’s words made Liu Zhang feel like he was lifting a stone and smashing it on his own foot.
“Brother guard, did you really get a clear understanding of the situation ahead just now?” Liu Zhang came over and asked.
“Yeah, there are probably three leaders among the twenty people, and they all have impressive strength.” Chu Mu said.
“Even the leaders… the leaders have been figured out.” Liu Zhang was speechless.
There were well-placed sentry posts of assassins ahead, and experienced people would be able to notice that the spacing between these assassins was consistent, and although their positions were sparse, it was almost impossible for anyone to break through.
Liu Zhang, who is also an expert in field training, knew how difficult this was, so when he spoke to the princess earlier, he was sure that no one at the second level could do it.
Who could have thought that the guard by Princess Jinrou’s side was so terrifyingly powerful that Liu Zhang could hardly believe it.
Princess Jinrou fell into deep thought. With Princess Jinrou’s status and position, she only trained a few subordinates, and they had not yet encountered them in the Seventh Realm.
However, for some reason, so many assassins have appeared on the border of the Seventh Realm. If all of these people are contestants, how enormous is the force behind the scenes that can have such a huge number of subordinates after so many layers of screening in the first six realms?
“Do you have any clues?” Chu Mu noticed that Princess Jinrou had raised her head and asked her.
“I can’t think of anyone with such great ability. Even Si Tian of Soul Covenant should not be able to do this. It might be someone from outside the World Decree who has infiltrated.” Princess Jinrou analyzed.
Chu Mu’s heart sank, and the first thing he thought of when this kind of situation where the rules of the World Decree were being broken appeared was the defecting girl.
Because if the defecting girl has been secretly trying to get the final glory of the World Decree, she had definitely planned for a long time to help someone get the glory of the second tier through various channels.
“We can’t handle them with so many people on their side. I think we can try forming a team with more people. They probably won’t dare to attack us if they see that we have a lot of people.” Princess Jinrou suggested her own method.
“We don’t have that much time, and if we go that route, we might not get the glory. Besides, I think that if there are a lot of people, these assassins might not want to fight us. Their main purpose is to hinder everyone.” Chu Mu rejected Princess Jinrou’s idea.
Princess Jinrou’s choice was relatively safe, and with her status, she definitely had a lot of appeal.
However, Chu Mu felt that these assassins should all be subordinates of a strong person. If they waste too much time with these assassins, the glory of the Seventh Realm would definitely be taken by that person.
Chu Mu knew that he was not strong enough, and if he didn’t get the glory of the Seventh Realm, his Battle and the strength of Ghost Dome King would not be able to rise, which would be very disadvantageous for his next Eighth Realm. So Chu Mu had to get the huge glory reward of the Seventh Realm!
“I’m not very interested in glory, as long as I can successfully break through. It’s hard to resist such a powerful opponent…” Princess Jinrou tactfully expressed.
“I need to get the glory.” Chu Mu said.
Princess Jinrou lowered her head slightly and didn’t say anything further.
“In that case, let’s part ways here…” Chu Mu understood that Princess Jinrou didn’t want to take this risk.
Princess Jinrou was stunned and didn’t expect Chu Mu to be so direct.
“Alright, but you need to be careful by yourself. That person’s influence is not only extensive, but their strength is definitely very strong. It’s best to avoid clashing with them head on.” Princess Jinrou looked at Chu Mu with a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes.
Chu Mu nodded, his eyes on Princess Jinrou as well. In fact, he had always wanted to ask her a certain question. After hesitating for a moment, he brought it up: “Why do you always wear a veil?”
Princess Jinrou didn’t find it strange that Chu Mu would ask this, and she explained with a smile, “It’s just a custom. Until a certain condition is met, we wear a veil. The veil comes off when that condition is fulfilled.”
Chu Mu didn’t fully understand but nodded anyway. He then jumped on the Night Thunder Dream Beast and darted into the perilous forest.
Watching Chu Mu leave, Princess Jinrou felt somewhat less secure but didn’t regret it. Since their views differed, it was only natural for them to make different choices. Parting ways decisively was the right decision.
“Princess Jinrou, it turns out he’s not your guard? Who is he then?” Liu Zhang, perplexed, watched Chu Mu leaving with the Night Thunder Dream Beast and the Demon Tree Warrior.
Princess Jinrou answered nonchalantly, “You should know this person too, Soul Hall Chu Chen.”
“Chu Chen!” Liu Zhang’s face showed astonishment. He hadn’t expected that man to be the renowned Soul Hall Chu Chen, a freakish youth who challenged cross-tier and consecutively achieved the highest honors!!
“No wonder he’s so inhuman… I heard that he’s even hunted in places as dangerous as the Ninth Mysterious Realm!” Liu Zhang was horrified and enlightened at the same time, realizing why that man could so easily navigate through the traps set by those assassins!
…
Another reason Chu Mu chose to part ways with Princess Jinrou was that he wanted to investigate the origin of the assassins.
Chu Mu felt the appearance of these assassins was very abrupt and possibly related to what Lord Yu had mentioned earlier. If that was the case, the defector girl’s purpose might be revealed through them.
Moreover, Princess Jinrou wasn’t adept at wilderness training. If she accompanied him, Chu Mu’s traversal through the jungle would be significantly hindered. Since she only wanted to pass the realm conservatively, parting ways was the best choice.
There were a total of 20 assassins, and Chu Mu couldn’t possibly kill them one by one. Now he needed to find a way to capture one of the assassin leaders to gain the information he wanted.
Chu Mu had observed the assassins’ strength in secret. Each member had an average of three to four Ninth-Rank High Stage Commanders. In a direct confrontation, Chu Mu could handle at most three assassins simultaneously.
As for assassination, Chu Mu was confident that he could kill any lone assassin without anyone knowing.
The current problem was that the three assassin leaders were in the center of the jungle. If Chu Mu were to make a move, he might alert at least five assassins, which would be relatively too risky.
In the end, Chu Mu decided to hide among the assassins, waiting for the right opportunity to make a move. This way, he would have a better chance of successfully capturing their leader.
…
When Chu Mu fully concealed his aura, he was able to move freely even within the Di Sheng Domain. The assassins’ formation was tight, but they couldn’t stop a true jungle infiltrator.
As night fell, Chu Mu had already silently approached the campsite set up by the three leaders in the central basin. He lay quietly on a tree, like a hidden wild beast, observing everything within the camp through his dark eyes.
“Three people haven’t returned yet. They might have been killed by some real second-tier experts,” a man’s faint voice came from within a tent.
“Humph, didn’t we warn them to back off if they encountered someone with too much power?” another man’s voice sounded more sharp.
“Big Leader, our Lord should be far ahead of the other contestants by now. I still don’t understand, what does our Lord want to achieve? If he just wanted to obtain the highest honors, there’s no need to deploy us in the Seventh Realm!”
“Don’t ask too many questions, just do as you’re told.” The man called Big Leader didn’t say much.
Chu Mu furrowed his brows when he heard this. If the three continued to talk, maybe he could glean some important information.
“Seems like, to find out their real goal, I’ll have to start with this Big Leader,” Chu Mu said.
Waiting like this would only waste time, and the so-called Lord stopping everyone must be for something important.
Immediately, Chu Mu made a resolution to take a risk!
