Chapter 587: Chapter 458: High-Level Monarch, White Nightmare Demon (Part 2)
Chu Mu indeed did not expect Teacher De to be so straightforward. No matter how difficult the previous battles were, Chu Mu never summoned the White Nightmare Demon to fight. In fact, although the White Nightmare Demon was only at the Eighth Rank Ninth Stage – Intermediate Monarch, with its powerful attribute talent, it would definitely not be a problem for this white demon to fight with a Ninth Rank Lower Stage – Mid-Level Monarch.
If Soul Hall wouldn’t mind Chu Mu having the White Nightmare Demon, he could use the 1.5 billion to greatly improve the White Nightmare Demon’s strength, giving him greater reliance in the upcoming realm challenges.
“Thank you, Teacher De. Who is the senior you mentioned earlier…?” Chu Mu asked curiously. From Teacher De’s words, it seemed that someone was secretly backing Chu Mu.
“This old fellow has been paying attention to you since the day you arrived at Soul Hall. He is usually elusive, and very few people in Soul Hall can see him…. I’ve been protecting you, as he was low-key and hinted me to do so.” Teacher De didn’t specify who the senior was, but it was clear that he wouldn’t reveal their identity.
Chu Mu secretly asked Master Li, who claimed not to know, and could only guess that maybe they were a member of Soul Hall’s inner circle…
Soul Hall’s inner circle consisted of the most authoritative figures in Soul Hall, who held titles above the tenth level. The identities of the people within this inner circle were kept secret. Some daring young people had once joked that the appearance of the elders from the inner circle was like a “resurrected corpse”.
This joke referred to the fact that these old fellows usually did not appear in any public event and were just like lying in a coffin. The most important thing is that most people in Soul Hall do not know their true identities. Just like before, Chu Mu wouldn’t have thought that Teacher De, who was always messing around with various strange medicinal herbs, was actually a Soul Hall Elder.
There were many white-haired old men like Teacher De in Soul Hall, such as some palace masters of the Seven Great Halls, the Holy Guard Leaders of the Holy Domain, the heads of the outer hall, middle hall, and inner hall, numerous Soul Hall scholars who study hard, and even old men who leisurely drink tea and play with children in the courtyard. Those who haven’t truly been in contact with the inner circle wouldn’t know if any of these seniors were actually an elder or even a highly respected soul hall elder…
…
Chu Mu had no way of knowing which expert was keeping an eye on him. Since the Soul Hall Elders no longer cared whether Chu Mu had a White Nightmare Demon or not, Chu Mu had nothing to be afraid of. The next step was to find the most suitable spiritual object to strengthen the White Nightmare Demon!
