Chapter 577: Chapter 448: Devil’s Guardian, No One is Spared (1)
Turmoil roiled within Chu Mu’s heart, various questions swirling in his mind that refused to settle.
Even though Chu Mu had no idea why the defecting girl had painstakingly made her way to the human world, and he was still in the dark about her origins, he felt there must be more objectives that she wanted to achieve. It made no sense for her to purposely plunge herself into the disputes of different factions and manipulate everything from the shadows.
The power struggle amongst factions was often orchestrated by individuals wielding great authority. For the sake of gaining an even higher status or more power for themselves, they would rack their brains to acquire certain things, using all manner of underhanded tactics.
As for the defecting girl, she was a humanoid soul pet. She should not be involved in disputes between factions; however, according to Lord Yu’s words, she was the person instigating the conflict between the Elemental Gate and Soul Hall.
“What else has Hao Ting done?” Chu Mu immediately asked.
He wanted to know what actions this person, controlled by the defecting girl, had taken. Only by understanding his actions could he begin to discern the girl’s true intentions.
“During the World Decree years ago, Hao Ting did many shocking things behind the scenes to acquire what he wanted. It was only when I came to know these facts that I realized his nature had completely changed. Based on my observations over several years, his attention always seemed to be focused on the World Decree, even going so far as to spend hefty amounts to recruit strong personnel from major powers, hoping to truly grasp the direction of the World Decree,” said Lord Yu.
“The World Decree… we’re back to that again,” said Ye Qingzi in a soft voice.
“Then, Lord Yu, have you discovered anything else, like perhaps something about this World Decree and the previous one?” Chu Mu continued to question.
“Everything he did was very secretive, so there aren’t any clear leads for now. But one thing is for certain: he aims to obtain the final glory of the World Decree, whether it be from the second tier or the first one.” Lord Yu said.
