Chapter 50: Cao Yi’s Conspiracy

Translator: 549690339

At the arrival of dawn, Executors Zeng Ze and Gu Lei arrived early in the courtyard and gathered all ten Actors together.

“Now I will take you into the Demon Palace, follow me and don’t speak a word,” Zeng Ze said to the ten people.

The ten Actors followed Executors Gu Lei and Zeng Ze up the gentle slope toward the Demon Palace.

“Chu Mu, come here.” Gu Lei was leading the way, and Executor Zeng Ze suddenly called Chu Mu to his side.

Chu Mu was somewhat puzzled but still walked over to Zeng Ze’s side and asked, “What can I do for you, Executor Sir?”

Zeng Ze slowed down slightly, and after the others had walked ahead, he whispered to Chu Mu with a very strange attitude, “You need to be careful.’

“I don’t understand what Executor Sir means?” Chu Mu looked puzzled at Zeng Ze, who had suddenly changed his attitude a bit.

“Cao Yi wants you dead, but he doesn’t dare to openly defy Lord Xia’s orders. I think he will try to tamper with this battle,” Zeng Ze said.

Chu Mu furrowed his brow. On the one hand, he didn’t quite understand why Zeng Ze would tell him this. On the other hand, he hadn’t expected the guy to mess with this group battle.

“He won’t kill you directly, but he might plant a very strong person in the group battle with the purpose of killing your only soul pet,” said Zeng Ze.

MO Ye was now Chu Mu’s only soul pet. If MO Ye died, Chu Mu could seek new soul pets, but his Soul Power would grow extremely slowly, and it was inevitable that his soul would be devoured by the White Nightmare Demon!

“Why are you telling me this?” asked Chu Mu.

Zeng Ze smiled and said, “I don’t want to stay on this broken island forever, and the only one who can promote me is Lord Xia.”

Chu Mu looked at Zeng Ze and thought to himself: Zeng Ze’s brain is much more useful than the impulsive Cao Yi. If Cao Yi doesn’t notice Zeng Ze’s ambition, he’ll be replaced by Zeng Ze sooner or later.

But that’s okay. Both of them have their own goals. Once Cao Yi is dealt with, Chu Mu can be more at ease.

“If you need anything in the future, you can tell me. I’ll help you as much as I can,” Zeng Ze said.

Chu Mu nodded, happy to make this simple and purely interest-based deal with Zeng Ze. Of course, Chu Mu also knew that everything was based on strength. If he didn’t show the power to kill five people, Zeng Ze would never protect him like this. It was the same with the Old Vendor – he valued Chu Mu’s strength as well!

“There are many variables in a group battle. You can only rely on yourself to get through this ordeal,” said Zeng Ze, and then he quickened his pace to catch up with Gu Lei in front.

Chu Mu nodded and quickly followed the team into the Green Nightmare Demon Palace’s territory.

Zeng Ze and Gu Lei led the others into a grand colosseum-like building with the words “Battle Demon Palace” inscribed on it. The interior of the building was very spacious, with a huge battlefield in the middle, filled with various broken stones and rubble.

When they entered the Battle Demon Palace, many members of the Nightmare Demon Palace were already seated in high positions, dressed in magnificent clothes and looking down at the chosen actors from various islands with an arrogant gaze.

Chu Mu was unsure if it was the fact that each person in the Nightmare Demon Palace had signed a soul contract with a nightmare demon or if it was just the people themselves who looked strange. As he looked around, he noticed that their faces were all slightly gloomy, and when they were sitting still, they gave the impression of being shrouded by a dark ghost.

“Don’t look up casually. You are actors. Those on the high platform are the higher-ups of this island. If you show any disrespect in your eyes, you may bring disaster upon yourselves!” Gu Lei coldly snorted, reminding those who were looking around.

Realizing that the nobly dressed people on the high platform were the true masters of the Green Nightmare Demon Palace, the others became apprehensive and dared not say anything more.

On the high platform

“Cao Yi, I heard that the batch of actors you brought this year are just a bunch of good-for-nothings?” The Island Owner slowly opened his mouth and said.

The Island Owner was a middle-aged man leaning towards old age, dressed in an extravagant robe, looking somewhat bloated and carrying an imposing figure. His eyes, in particular, seemed indifferent but contained a hint of sharpness that was unsettling.

Cao Yi was seated below, also an Island Owner but in charge of a sub-island in the Green Nightmare Demon Island. There were twelve such sub-island owners in total, and the island Cao Yi was in charge of was not considered an important sub-island.

“There were some minor accidents, and a few strong ones died. Island Master, I don’t have high hopes this time…” Cao Yi laughed dryly.

“Others have reported some quite powerful people, like Zi Shen, Chang Xing, Hong Ji, Wang Keluo… either possessing a second-rank soul pet or a third soul pet. Your island reported a Wind Valley, carrying a Ninth Stage Rock Demon, and a Chu Mu, carrying a Ninth Stage Moonlight Fox…” The Island Owner slowly started speaking.

Being publicly criticized by the Island Owner, Cao Yi’s expression was also not very pleasant, but he could only keep his head bowed and dare not look at the Island Owner directly.

“Cao Yi, I didn’t know you were so interesting. A Rock Demon is one thing, at least it has some combat power. But what’s with that Moonlight Fox? Many places even classify them as low-level servant class. Even if it reaches the ninth stage, what could it accomplish? To have such a person as a chosen elite actor, Cao Yi, you are really going downhill!” Guo Meng, an equal sub-island owner sitting next to Cao Yi, laughed out loud.

Cao Yi’s face had turned red with anger, but in such a situation, he dared not vent his anger casually!

Cao Yi took a deep breath and swallowed his anger back into his stomach. His real goal this time was to get rid of Chu Mu. As for whether the actors he brought can achieve good rankings, he no longer cared. After all, even if Zhou Shengmo and others were still alive, they would not be a match for the actors from other islands.

“Liu Zhen, is your actor confident in dealing with that kid?” Cao Yi ignored Guo Meng’s sarcasm and quietly asked the thin and frail man beside him.

The sub-island owner called Liu Zhen smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Wang Keluo’s strength is definitely among the top among these actors. It will be easy for him to deal with the kid with the Ninth Stage Moonlight Fox. But Cao Yi, it seems that your actors will probably be at the bottom again.”

Cao Yi’s gaze shifted, and in fact, a few days ago, he had received good news: with the help of his uncle, he might leave Green Nightmare Demon Island and be transferred to the mainland. He no longer cared about the petty gains of this broken island, and his top priority was to eliminate Chu Mu, who posed a hidden danger – after all, Lord Xia’s status was too high.
