“A Commander Level Mother of a Hundred would generally create offspring one level and stage lower than itself, suggesting that this Mother of a Hundred could be a Ninth Stage Commander. Additionally, the strength of the creatures it creates is not uniform. As you mentioned earlier, some can self-strengthen while others cannot,” said the old scholar.

If it was a Ninth Stage Commander, the Central City Official should be able to find some experts to deal with it. Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi also believed that they could try to exterminate this monster.

“Of course, this is the most conservative estimate… The Mother of a Hundred’s Servant Beasts has some subdivisions, such as the ones you may have encountered being foraging Servant Beasts with lower combat power. Within the nest of the Mother of a Hundred, there are combat Servant Beasts with terrifying fighting capabilities. The combat Servant Beasts are definitely not on the same level as the foraging ones. Although I estimate it to be a Ninth Stage Mother of a Hundred, its strength is likely even greater than expected,” the old scholar continued.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, both Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi revealed troubled expressions.

Chu Mu enjoyed challenging the limits of his strength and taking on more powerful Soul Pets, but he wouldn’t be foolish enough to fight an overwhelmingly powerful opponent.

After bidding farewell to the old scholar, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi quickly returned to the city official, and told City officer Li Gu about the situation honestly…

After hearing this news, Li Gu’s face became increasingly clouded with worry, and he remained deep in thought for a long time.

Li Gu was a Soul Lord himself with several Eighth and Ninth Stage Commanders in his possession. His strength barely reached the minimum level suggested by the old scholar for that particular Mother of a Hundred. But even so, he might not be a match for the monster.

“Is there no solution at all?” asked Li Gu, his voice calm, staring at the team leaders present.

The team leaders all lowered their heads, realizing that they could only request support from above in such a situation. Unfortunately, now was a very critical time…

“Dongqing, what exactly is happening that makes it so difficult to dispatch any experts to deal with the problem in such a vast city like Li City?” Chu Mu inquired.

Li City was supposed to be a city of great strength, full of experts. What baffled Chu Mu was the fact that such a crucial matter could not be resolved by experts from Li City, but instead had to be handled by these young city officials. It was truly bewildering.

Dongqing’s face showed hesitation, and he didn’t seem to want to speak directly about it for quite some time.

Ye Qingzi shared Chu Mu’s confusion, or rather, all the city guards, except for Li Gu, were puzzled as to why Li City didn’t take such a gruesome event more seriously.

Instead of speaking directly, Dongqing left the room.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi followed, as Dongqing had already informed Chu Mu through Soul Sense that this matter could not be spread indiscriminately.

“This happened two months ago…” Dongqing began slowly.

“Two months ago, we discovered the footprints of a powerful Soul Pet in Li City. This Soul Pet should have been the Overlord of some place, and for some reason, it killed its way into our city. At that time, it fought fiercely with some of our city’s experts before being injured and hiding underground in Li City.”

“This incident drew the attention of all the strong ones in Li City, and almost all of them focused their efforts on the Soul Pet hidden underground in the city, waiting for its appearance.”

Chu Mu’s eyes were filled with confusion, feeling that the situation was somewhat inexplicable. He wondered why a powerful wild soul pet would cause trouble in a human city.

The stronger a Soul Pet, the higher its intelligence. Rarely would powerful creatures from the Mysterious Realm enter human habitats, as there were many powerful beings among humans. If they were to invade recklessly, they would be met with a joint attack and ultimately be brutally killed.

“What kind of creature is it, powerful enough to cause a sensation throughout Li City?” Ye Qingzi immediately asked.

“That… well, many people already know about it,” Dongqing said with a solemn expression. “If there is no mistake, it should be a very powerful mature Qingzhe Dragon.”

“Qingzhe Dragon!” The moment Chu Mu heard that term, his heart began to race!

Could it be the Azure Sky Qingzhe Dragon, that had appeared in Li City!

“Chu Chen?” Dongqing and Ye Qingzi’s gazes fell on Chu Mu because his reaction was very strong and somewhat strange.

Chu Mu naturally knew that the matter of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon had to be kept absolutely secret. He quickly concealed his emotions and explained: “I’m just very surprised. I didn’t expect a powerful dragon soul pet to appear in Li City.”.

“My father didn’t expect this to happen either. In fact, this Qingzhe Dragon came to our Li City with a purpose.” Dongqing said.

“Purpose? What purpose?” Chu Mu immediately asked.

“I’m not sure about that. I just heard it from my father.” Dongqing helplessly said.

“So you mean that everyone’s attention is now on the hidden Qingzhe Dragon underground, and they don’t have time to deal with the matter of West Street?” Ye Qingzi asked.

“More or less. The Qingzhe Dragon has a huge body, but it has a strong ability to hide. We have been looking for it for nearly two months without finding it. Later, we don’t know who leaked the news, but people from the Soul Covenant found out, and lately, some Soul Covenant masters have entered our Li City.” Dongqing said.

Chu Mu had gone silent. He now wanted to know why the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, which had already escaped, had suddenly killed its way back to the human city. Could it be that Li City had something important that the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon had to obtain.

“You think about it, a Qingzhe Dragon, even if it is very difficult to tame, what expert wouldn’t want to witness it and join in the excitement? Who would pay attention to the strange things happening on West Street? Also, since this Qingzhe Dragon might appear at any time, its combat power is extremely terrifying, and it can easily cause frightening destructive power, so the Li City patrol personnel have to guard their posts all the time while looking for clues to the Qingzhe Dragon. Therefore, it’s hard to assign manpower…” Dongqing said.

“Why are you so sure that the Qingzhe Dragon is still in the city, instead of having already escaped to other places, after all, that happened two months ago.” Ye Qingzi asked.

“I’m not quite clear, but my father is very sure that it’s still in the city, and as soon as we let our guard down, it will burst out. That’s how it is. The Qingzhe Dragon is the main focus, and we have to deal with the matter of West Street ourselves.” Dongqing said.

Initially, the matter of the Qingzhe Dragon was also supposed to be kept highly confidential. However, Dongqing trusted Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi enough to tell them about the situation. After finishing, Dongqing’s eyes fell on Chu Mu and found that Chu Mu seemed to have been silent for a long time.

“Chu Chen, you seem a bit weird?” Dongqing asked.

Chu Mu came to his senses, smiled apologetically, and said, “It’s nothing, I just suddenly thought of a possibility.”

“What possibility?”

“You said the Qingzhe Dragon is hidden underground. Now we’ve encountered this Mother of a Hundred which resides in the sewers and has a large number. You also mentioned that there is a soul pet master manipulating these evil creatures in Li City. So I thought, maybe instead, the malicious soul pet master is also intending to find the Qingzhe Dragon. By using the special ability of the Mother of a Hundred, he can let these underground servant beasts search the area. Or, in other words, they are looking for clues of the Qingzhe Dragon during the day and hunting in the city at night.” Chu Mu said.

Chu Mu’s words made Dongqing’s eyes widen, and he slapped his thigh, suddenly realizing: “Now that you say that, it’s really possible!”

“You’re very sharp-minded.” Ye Qingzi praised.

Chu Mu just smiled. He’d been thinking about the problem of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon appearing here. Later on, when Dongqing mentioned that everyone in the city was searching for it and that strange things were happening on West Street, it seemed like two separate issues, but when linked together, it made sense. Indeed, for the sake of their interest, some malicious soul pet masters would do some utterly conscienceless things.

“We can’t let this person continue to cause trouble in my territory!” Dongqing gritted his teeth.

“Actually, I do have a method. However, it may not really eliminate the Mother of a Hundred and that soul pet master. At most, it can only wipe out some of the servant beasts and weaken the strength of the Mother of a Hundred.” Ye Qingzi said.

“What’s the method!” Dongqing looked at Ye Qingzi somewhat excitedly. Dongqing was clearly a prodigal son, but he was very conscientious about his own position.

Ye Qingzi raised her head, pointed at the drizzling rain, and slowly said: “These creatures can stay underwater, but they obviously can’t breathe for a long time. If they are gathering in large numbers in the sewers, we can find the underground structure map of the city, block all the main water passages of West Street, and then have all the soul pet masters manipulate their water-type soul pets to pour water frantically into the underground tunnels of West Street, filling the whole underground area of West Street with liquid. Even if they build a safe secret room by themselves, there are so many servant beasts. If it’s sustained for a day, the oxygen in the secret room they created will definitely be insufficient. This way, these creatures will suffocate to death…”

As Ye Qingzi spoke, Dongqing’s eyes lit up!

“This method is great! Why didn’t I think of it! Miss Ye, you are really talented and beautiful!” Dongqing immediately praised her.

Not able to confront them directly, they would outwit them instead. Chu Mu felt that Ye Qingzi’s approach was very viable.
