Chapter 1353: Monument Tear Individual's Blood Bath vs Fake Monument Tear Individual

In a dark part of the garden, Lady Gao remained standing there in disbelief at the scene she was seeing within the garden!

The man who seemed so unremarkable was now sitting on Saintess Yu’s seat, yet she herself was sitting to the side!

Usually, Saintess Yu always sat on the seat and she stood aside. This symbolized the distance between their identities. Lady Gao knew clearly what Saintess Yu truly held in her hands, so she never dared even think to disrespect her.

After many years of contact, Lady Gao truly knew that this was a woman worth feeling terrified about. Her meticulous nature, grasp of the greater picture, ability to plot, and ability to create loyal followers- all these that make Lady Gao respect and fear her from the depths of her heart.

It was hard to imagine a woman could create such a massive network in Zhengming Main City. If this power were to surface, all leaders of other factions would probably be shaken!

Only Lady Gao knew of Lady Yu’s power. Lady Gao always thought of her as high above. No matter how many followers and admirers she had, no one could truly enter her view. They were at most a pawn she could move as she pleased.

Just as Lady Gao established this deep-rooted belief, the man that appeared caused Lady Gao to fall into confusion!

Even the high up Saintess Yu had a time of serving others. Especially that title of “master” that Saintess Yu said, Lady Gao no longer knew how she should look at the man sitting in Saintess Yu’s place.

“Could it be that the one that created the hidden faction, the one that extends into Divine Sect, Elemental Clan, Xuan Gate, Departed Spirit Palace, Demon Beast Palace, and even Darkness Sect- the creator isn’t Saintess Yu, but actually this man named Chu Mu?” Lady Gao felt as if her brain wasn’t enough to comprehend this news anymore!

......

“Oh? You’re pretty fast, how did all these factions let a random person like you interfere?” Chu Mu lifted an eyebrow.

At this moment, Chu Mu’s heart was still surprised. He never expected that Yu Suo already had an invisible empire of her own within Zhengming Continent, with members spanning all factions. None of these members knew each other, yet they were all connected and firmly grasped within Yu Suo’s hands.

With one command from her, these people would even betray their own factions and come risk their lives for her!

“If you didn’t ruin my plans, I would be sitting in a higher position speaking with the leaders of humanity. I wouldn’t be wasting time here with a bunch of young and energetic “experts”!” Yu Suo complained.

Yu Suo had laid a path of dominance in Zhengming Continent a long time ago. Many of her old subordinates had been waiting for Yu Suo to appear.

At the time, Yu Suo was still weak. She felt that stepping into the cesspool of Zhengming Continent was still too early, so she conspired to take New Moon Land into her hands first.

Yu Suo knew better than anyone that New Moon Land had immense potential.

Yet, she didn’t expect Chu Mu to appear in New Moon Land, which completely ruined her plans, and almost caused her to lose all contact with her people in Zhengming Continent.

Her faction was tightly connected with her as the central node. If she disappeared, this invisible empire would also collapse.

The few years of imprisonment with Chu Mu, Yu Suo was constantly worried that the seeds she planted would disappear. Originally, she thought she could escape Chu Mu’s imprisonment, yet Chu Mu’s strength increased too swiftly. She couldn’t get out no matter what.

Considering that her empire may likely collapse, she was forced to try to use Ye Qingzi as a hostage to force Chu Mu to release her. Yet, the little princess saw through her plans and caused it to fail.

At that moment, Yu Suo felt Chu Mu’s killing intent!

If Chu Mu wanted to kill her, she didn’t even have a chance to resist. She was truly scared at that moment. She didn’t want to die- she had so many things left to do.

Thankfully, Ye Qingzi begged for her forgiveness, causing Chu Mu to get rid of his killing intent. This was how she could recreate her invisible empire.

Of course, because she had wasted so much time, the invisible empire in her plans was still in its infancy, and was far from her desired magnitude.

As she had said, if Chu Mu hadn’t stopped her, she would already be sitting eye to eye with the leaders of humanity!

Chu Mu rubbed his chin. Though Yu Suo complained, Chu Mu felt no remorse.

“New Moon Land is also developing well. I control a good amount of people and resources. If we can, let’s connect New Moon Land with my faction to speed up its development.” Yu Suo said.

“I don’t care about these things.” Chu Mu said very irresponsibly.

Yu Suo’s eyes flashed with anger. Chu Mu truly had zero ambitions or aspirations!

Yu Suo took a few deep breaths and pushed down her negative emotions. Once she was calm, she said, “I need you to fight once for me.”

“Do I gain anything from it?” Chu Mu said.

“Yes, for you, for me, for my empire, and for your New Moon Land.” Yu Suo said.

“Let’s hear it.”

“In the conference held by Territory Institute this time, you must get the greatest piece of land from the northern territory. If you can get it, New Moon Land will rid itself of its second-rate territory nature and step into first-rate. Normal immortal rank experts will no longer dare to do anything to you. Second, I will have enough resources as bait to lure some false gentlemen in, and my empire will become even larger.” Yu Suo said emotionlessly.

It wasn’t that Yu Suo had no experts. However, this was something only Chu Mu could do. Yu Suo couldn't find any younger generation expert stronger than Tang Zhuo. Only if they could defeat Tang Zhuo in the final competition could New Moon Land get the largest territory from the north.

“The Outstanding Experts Competition is already in the final round, I don’t think I have the qualifications to join anymore, right?” Chu Mu said.

“I have a way, though it’ll expose some of my hidden forces.” Yu Suo said seriously.

Chu Mu raised an eyebrow. Just how large was Yu Suo’s invisible empire? How could she put someone into the final battle of the most authoritative competition of Zhengming continent?

“Tell me your method.” Chu Mu said.

“I’ll anger Tang Zhuo, and tell him true experts don’t care to join such a competition. I’ll point everything towards you and make him challenge you. Then, you will bet all of New Moon Land in return for the northern territory’s final control.” Yu Suo said.

“And that’s why you kept me behind in front of everyone? Speaking of which, aren’t you afraid I’ll lose?” Chu Mu said.

This woman truly dared to gamble, using New Moon Land as her bet, when the territory was truly worth its weight in gold currently.

“I can lend you the Evil Good Flower Queen.” Yu Suo said.

“Lend?” Chu Mu corrected Yu Suo, “It’s my soul pet, and you’re my slave.”

Yu Suo glared angrily. She always thought that there were many things she could get used to. However, Chu Mu’s annoyances were something she could never get accustomed to.

“Do you really gain that much pleasure from owning me? Do you have to reiterate it all the time?” Yu Suo said coldly.

“Yes.” Chu Mu nodded without hesitation, “You should know that this was my goal ever since you deserted me.”

Yu Suo didn’t want to stay on this topic, since it only increased her anger.

“Are you going to fight or not!” Yu Suo said.

“I was supposed to have a battle with Tang Zhuo anyways. Cloud Gate Elder and Tang Zhuo’s master have some grudge.” Chu Mu said.

“Great, if you defeat him and get the piece of land in the north, I can control at least two more immortal rank experts and use them to bring in more experts.” Seeing Chu Mu agree, Yu Suo’s mood finally loosened.

These two immortal rank experts are very important to Yu Suo. It wasn’t because of how powerful they were, but because they had strong connections. Using them, she could quickly control another group of factions. Beforehand, Yu Suo was stressed about this matter. With Chu Mu coming to Zhengming Continent, it seemed that only he could help her solve this issue.

“Just what happened in the north?” Chu Mu asked.

From what the two Border Lords said, the news was very vague, so Chu Mu was curious.

“You know about Monument Tear Individuals?” Yu Suo asked.

Chu Mu nodded. He learned this concept from Ning Maner not long ago.

Yu Suo was afraid that Chu Mu didn’t even know of the legends. That would waste a bunch of her breath to explain.

“The north end territory was a large scale fight between a Monument Tear Individual and Fake Monument Tear Individuals. A Monument Tear Individual gained a ten thousand year Tear Crystal and learned of the secret of one of the monuments, while also gaining immense power. When the news was leaked, all the Fake Monument Tear Individuals gained a glimpse of hope, and sent large amounts of experts on the hunt...”

“Yet the final result was that all the hunters were slaughtered by the Monument Tear Individual!”

“And from that fight, the Monument Tear Individual was taken over by an unknown power and became bloodthirsty. He also killed the entire soul pet dynasty to the north of that land, creating the news of the blood rain.”

Indeed, as Ning Maner said, only at a certain height could one see things more clearly.

If he didn’t know of the Monument Tear Individual legend and the Heaven Boundary Monuments, his understanding of the bloodbath in the northern territory would be about as vague as the two Border Lords.

“You’re also a Monument Tear Individual so be careful. It’s the cruelest and most merciless battle in this world that has lasted countless millennia.” Yu Suo said flatly.
