Chapter 9: If Only We Were as We Were at First Encounter

Standing alone in the courtyard, Chu Mu instantly fell into a meditative state, without even the slightest pause, as the spiritual energy within him surged like waves.

Of course it is ... ...

Regardless of the circumstances, the essence of strategic maneuvering lies in absolute strength. In the face of absolute power, all calculations are mere paper tigers, which at most can only intimidate but hold no real efficacy.

At this moment, Lin Zhenlei finally emerged from the pain of losing his own son. Simultaneously, his mental state had somewhat recovered, and he began to sense a subtle unease in the situation, yet he could not quite grasp what it was.

Seeing the expression of utter despair on Lin Zhenlei's face at this moment, Chu Mu and Chu Tian exchanged a glance, both revealing a hint of a smile. However, in front of Lin Zhenlei, they chose not to be overly ostentatious and opted for silence instead

The ultimate goal, of course, is to become an extraordinary powerhouse, thereby shattering the void and returning to the original star domain of Earth, to meet that woman who has captivated his soul, the one whose gentleness seems capable of melting the entire starry sky.

Previously, this fellow actually dared to take advantage of me. If I prepare my equipment well this time, I will definitely make him regret it. If he can't handle it, then it would be better for him to be directly beaten to death. How dare he take advantage of me.

Since Lord Lin has such deep affection for our Young Master Chu Yu of Tianlei City, my sworn brother, even expressing such emotion over his corpse, then perhaps it would be best for Lord Lin to take responsibility for his burial

I just want everyone to know that Chu Mu is not merely a dandy, but a true genius, and a unique, unparalleled talent who will undoubtedly reach the pinnacle in the future.

Looking up at the surrounding environment, Lin Wan'er finally returned to her residence, and at this moment, her mood gradually settled down.

Chu Muxin felt a sense of hesitation, yet he also understood that it was highly likely that the True Dragon Imperial Throne within him had discovered something of immense importance, thus bringing him here

Brat, I want to challenge you at the Cangfeng Arena in three days. Do you have the courage to come

I do not have the courage; I have been very busy lately and need to focus on my training. Therefore, regarding the challenges you proposed, I will address them when I have time in the future. Please do not rush me.

At this moment, an incredibly intense disturbance suddenly occurred within the True Dragon Imperial Throne of Chu Mu's sea of consciousness. Even at this moment, it was by no means a simple task for Chu Mu to suppress it.

Unknowingly, when Chu Mu opened his eyes again, he found that it was already night. The sky was extremely dim, devoid of any light, with only a solitary bright moon hanging in the emptiness.

This time, Chu Tian instantly understood Chu Mu's approach. Rather than waiting for Lin Zhenlei to deliberately bring it up, it was more straightforward to hand over all matters to the other party, thereby forcing out the undercover agent from the Lin family

Zhang Yang is the most perfect form of restraint, while composure is the proudest way of living. Engaging in battle with the countless prodigies of this world is what can truly unleash one's potential, thereby creating miracles. This is Chu Mu.

As he spoke, Chu Mu suddenly had a flicker in his brows and eyes, revealing a hint of unnatural expression. Then, he looked at Lin Wan'er's almost provocatively prominent bosom with a look of realization.

Chutian silently evaluated the actions of the Lin family in his heart. The scheme of the Lin family was indeed malicious, killing their own son so that their adopted son could kill them, thereby taking over the position of Tianlei City. This could be considered a treacherous plot.

Lin Wan'er instantly understood Chu Mu's subtle intentions and couldn't help but curse under her breath. She immediately turned around, lifted her delicate foot, and left the Chu family as if fleeing for her life, finally returning to the Lin family's residence in Tianfeng City

After all, he is the only and true legitimate heir of the Chu family, as well as the future lord of Tianlei City. Even though his cultivation level was relatively low at that time, his status was significant, and everyone would still pay some attention to it.

Therefore, I need to enhance my abilities as soon as possible, so that I can contribute more to the current situation of the Chu family. Only in this way can I achieve my ultimate goal

Rogue, just wait and see

At this moment, he decided to resign, while also wanting to thoroughly investigate who the bastard was that killed his son. If he were to capture this person, he would undoubtedly want to dismember him in a thousand ways and tear him apart with five horses.

Father, you can rest assured. I will reclaim everything that the Lin family and Duanmu Wuji, who previously wasted my cultivation, owe me.

In such circumstances, with his most precious son unexpectedly having died at the hands of his own people, Lin Zhenlei at this moment could be said to have lost his original profound scheming, though this was only for a brief moment

Fortunately, at this moment, his son is no longer the idle wastrel he once was, but has regained his former brilliance. He has every reason to believe that his son will undoubtedly stand out across the entire Tianluo Continent in the future

At this moment, Chu Tian slightly cupped his hands, watching the distant figure fade away. However, he felt a twinge of relief in his heart; if Chu Mu had not seen through the Lin family's scheme back then, it was likely that the person filled with despair at this moment would have been himself

Licking her lips, Lin Wan'er raised her proud chest and looked at the boy opposite her, Chu Mu, who appeared to be taller than herself, and asked with a tone of irritation.

Are you doing well now? In the days without me, I wonder if you have thought of me

It is evident that Chu Mu's previous Dragon Capture technique truly left the spoiled beauty of this family dumbfounded. She would never have imagined in her wildest dreams that this brat actually dared to take advantage of her.

This brat actually dares to take advantage of me and eat my tofu. I must punish this kid and teach him to know my strength

Even if his own son wishes to leave the Tianluo Continent, it may not be very difficult. Perhaps, the son could indeed bring his mother back, making the story somewhat complete to the point that Chu Tian feels like crying.

When Lin Zhenlei returned to the Lin family, he could naturally assess Chu Yu's injuries once again, thereby realizing that the Bihai Jingtao Palm was indeed different from that of his own Lin family

Suddenly, at this moment, Lin Wan'er, who had already departed, slowly walked back again. The flush on her face had not completely faded, and it seemed that a deep crimson still lingered at the depths of her ears

It is said that what just happened was quite good; he does not mind doing it again, but he fears that the other party may not be willing.

What surprised Chu Mu even more was that the girl's appearance was exactly the same as that of Su Mo'er in his memory

Lord Chu, since the genius Chu Yu is already dead, I can no longer shamelessly pursue a marriage alliance. I will take my leave now, and we can discuss the matter of the marriage alliance at a later time.

Meanwhile, Chu Mu also bid farewell to Chu Tian and returned alone to his residence. His dwelling could be considered one of the larger ones within the entire City Lord's Mansion, even surpassing the place where Chu Yu initially resided.

It seemed that he had anticipated the request that Lin Zhenlei was about to make, and Chu Mu immediately spoke up. At the same time, he cast a brief glance at his father, Chu Tian, revealing a hint of deep contemplation in his expression.

In her previous life, Chu Mu had no father or mother, only her teacher and Su Mo'er accompanying her. Therefore, the feelings in her father's heart at this moment were something he cherished deeply, and thus he silently vowed in his heart

Lord Lin, please take care as you depart

This is the first tactic employed by Chu Mu at this moment. At the same time, he is well aware that his performance is undoubtedly being observed by the Lin family and all the young masters from the Nine Cities at the border. However, maintaining a low profile has never been his true nature

At this moment, there is still a faint tingling sensation in her chest, as the memory of Chu Mu's previous touch is truly unforgettable for her, for until now, there has been no other man who has had such an opportunity.

Such abilities can already be compared to those of his former teacher, Su Ming. Speaking of Su Ming, Chu Mu couldn't help but think of that woman, Su Mo'er.

What is going on here

In the moment when Chu Mu still had the chance to think, his body had already soared into the air, like a kite released into the sky, completely beyond his control, rendered entirely passive in its movements

Bang

What on earth is going on

Chu Mu's body suddenly descended. He immediately focused his true essence, and in an instant, the surrounding cyclone enveloped him, allowing him to land steadily on the ground. However, when he truly touched the ground, he was once again greatly astonished.

Before him lay a stunningly beautiful young girl, reclining at an angle. She was dressed in a white garment, yet it was exceedingly tattered, even stained with blood. Under the dim moonlight, faint traces of spring could be discerned.

Hello!

Casually finding a stone bench, Chu Mu slowly approached it and sat down. In his mind, he began to gradually recall the events of the past few days and slowly assess the matters involved.

Such tactics from Xiaomu are indeed superior; he likely intends to use the corpse of Chu Yu to draw out the undercover agent buried within our Lin family. Truly, he is my son, and he is indeed remarkable.

Just before, at the Martial Arts Pavilion, Chu Mu personally experienced the overwhelming power of an absolute master. His current cultivation level was simply insufficient, and what was more astonishing was that the opponent could actually create an independent space

As he spoke, Lin Zhenlei had already turned to leave, instructing several attendants who had accompanied him to take Chu Yu's coffin back to the Lin family. After issuing the command, Lin Zhenlei seemed to age many times in an instant

One's own misdeeds are inescapable and cannot be lived through

After this, the Lin family will naturally mobilize their entire force and will truly engage in battle with the Chu family of Tianlei City. Rather than waiting for the opponent to remain in the shadows, aiming to deliver a fatal blow at a critical moment, it is better to strike first and shake the tiger from its mountain lair

The True Dragon Imperial Palace, this is the treasure that my mother left for me, undoubtedly a very precious item. However, according to what that cheap old man Chu Tian said earlier, my mother must have been an extraordinary being.
