Supreme Tamer
Chapter 1253 - Chapter 1253 Chapter 1117 King Chu

Chapter 1253: Chapter 1117 King Chu! Chapter 1253: Chapter 1117 King Chu! Fox Elder had specifically come to the Lost Wilderness Garden to inform Chu Mu about this matter. After all, Chu Mu’s recent training journey had lasted a year and a half, causing everyone to worry. Additionally, the so-called takeover had left the Three Great Palaces uneasy, always fearing that a fierce tiger might leap in.

Having completed his cultivation, Chu Mu no longer needed to stay in the East Madness Forest and immediately returned riding the Dream of Oblivion.

It was rare for Old Man Han and Old Lady Wen to plan a trip outside, so they decided to go to Wanxiang City with Chu Mu.

…

The Dream of Oblivion flew very fast, and soon, Chu Mu had left the distant East Madness Forest and entered the territory of Wanxiang City.

The Dream of Oblivion had almost become Chu Mu’s signature. When the people from the Three Great Palaces saw a stunning dark purple lightning streak across the city sky, they knew that Chu Mu had returned. Everyone looked up, eager to catch a glimpse of what the strongest person in the entire human domain looked like.

Chu Mu did not like to make public appearances, though his name was known to everyone from three-year-old children to centenarians. However, only a few had actually seen Chu Mu–he was like a divine dragon, rarely showing his tail; mysterious and profoundly elusive.

Having undergone nearly two years of reconstruction, Wanxiang City had primarily regained its former splendor. As Chu Mu flew over the city, he could no longer feel the scars the war had left on this city.

Compared to Xiangrong City, Wanxiang City seemed larger and more majestic, resembling an ever-pulsating heart. The hustle and bustle intensified after the war.

High in the sky, Chu Mu overlooked this grand and majestic city, peering at the densely populated, crisscrossing streets below.

He remembered the imposing aura the city had given him when he first stepped into it, yet now he stood above it all…

Flying straight over the city, the patrolling soldiers in the sky, however strong their defense of Wanxiang City’s airspace, could only watch enviously as the unparalleled dark purple lightning faded into the distance.

After crossing the inner city, Chu Mu immediately noticed a series of palaces in silver, gold, and blue where Wanxiang Altar once stood.

The three colors represented the Three Great Palace Powers. However, after a massive crisis, these Three Great Palaces had now closely interconnected. The top level had adopted a system of Elders and Palace Masters, eliminating power barriers between palaces and instead adding many interconnected corridors and magnificent aerial bridges.

When Chu Mu left, this place was still a recently organized ruin. In the blink of an eye, it had become so splendid and magnificent, just as destruction comes swiftly, so does the rebuilding of civilization.

In the center of the Three Great Palaces stood the most imposing and majestic Great Hall, crafted from interwoven silver and gold and decorated with blue painted pillars and cornices. The Fox Elder explained that this was the supreme conference palace, usually only opened for matters concerning the existence of Wanxiang Realm. The construction of this single palace could have built several cities.

Seeing this array of gorgeous palaces, Chu Mu once again confirmed the significant wealth of the Three Great Palaces.

“Eh? Why is the Tri-Hall Palace open today? Could something big be happening?” Fox Elder commented as he glanced at the Tri-Hall Palace.

The doors of the Tri-Hall Palace were open, and a thousand guards stood on the over twelve hundred steps, a solemn carpet extending from the palace door down to the base of the stairs, signaling that a meeting was underway!

“Could it be that someone from outside Yunmen has already arrived?” Chu Mu muttered to himself.

Being timely is sometimes better than being early, and Chu Mu had good timing once again, now directly riding the Dream of Oblivion to the plaza outside the palace doors.

Chu Mu, Old Man Han, Old Lady Wen, and Fox Elder all dismounted from the Dream of Oblivion.

The Holy Guards who saw the suave, stunning, and wild descent of the Dream of Oblivion naturally knew who had returned and promptly knelt in unison, performing a half-kneel salute to Chu Mu who had just touched down.

The formally dressed Holy Guards saluted so suddenly that Chu Mu was caught off guard.

Standing outside, Holy Guard Leader Zhuo Nong saw that it was Chu Mu and immediately exclaimed with a smile, “King Chu, you have finally returned.”

“King Chu…” Chu Mu gave a wry smile. Who had given him such a lavish title? It seemed he couldn’t keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

Chu Mu waved his hand at Zhuo Nong and said, “Uncle Zhuo, let your men stand up. You startled me.”

“Ceremony is necessary,” Holy Guard Leader Zhuo Nong said seriously.

“What’s happening inside?” Chu Mu asked.

“It’s people from the Dark Sky Sea World,” Zhuo Nong said.

“Not from outside Yunmen?” Fox Elder was also startled and murmured in surprise.

Zhuo Nong naturally didn’t know what was meant by “outside Yunmen” and looked puzzled at Fox Elder.

“Never mind, let’s go inside,” Chu Mu said.

“Do you need to be announced?” Zhuo Nong immediately asked.

“Announce what? I’m not used to it,” Chu Mu shook his head and spoke as he walked along the lavishly laid carpet toward the grand and imposing hall.

Chu Mu and the Han couple had just entered the palace when the young Holy Guards beside Holy Guard Leader Zhuo Nong began to stir a little.

“Leader Zhuo, do you really know King Chu!” exclaimed one of the young Holy Guards excitedly.

“Didn’t you just hear King Chu call Leader Zhuo ‘Uncle Zhuo’!” added another.

Once someone spoke up, the other Holy Guards could no longer contain the excitement they felt when they saw the god-like figure and that strongest Winged System Phoenix creature, and they began to talk as well.

“Hmph, who allowed you to talk while on guard duty? As Holy Guards, you should fulfil your duty!” Zhuo Nong sternly rebuked the young Holy Guards without showing any leniency. Holy Guards on duty must not move or speak, always maintaining their Soul Sense coverage; these rules must be adhered to.

Everyone dared not speak any further, but still, a young Holy Guard noticed the corner of Holy Guard Leader Zhuo’s mouth curling into an almost imperceptible smile. It seemed the old man was also inwardly pleased, even though he appeared so composed.

…

Inside the great hall, there were three high seats, with the most central seat colored gold, radiantly and dominantly majestic, resembling a fierce tiger crouching there.

Silver and blue high seats flanked the golden main seat. The golden seat was unoccupied; Liu Binglan sat in the silver seat while the Morning Crown Prince occupied the blue seat.

The Morning Crown Prince had grown rapidly, shedding his scholarly demeanor. His brow, sharp as a sword, carried a weight of solemnity and authority.

One could say that he matured overnight, especially since his father’s death was undoubtedly a shock to him.

Behind the three main seats, there were several other high seats designated for Mu Qingyi, Bai Yu, and future Dominator-level powerhouses. However, today only Mu Qingyi occupied this seat.

Mu Qingyi was followed by the hierarchy of the Three Great Palaces: Demon Emperors, Elders, and Chief Elders in succession, including Jiang Demon Emperor, Elder Liu, Elder Shen, Elder Pang, Elder Xiao, Elder De, Elder Mei, Elder Kuang, and young generations like Ye Wansheng, Shen Mo, Pang Yue, Teng Lang, Qin Yutong, Xiao Hai, etc.

Some seats were vacant, but most were occupied by the appropriate officeholders, and of course, there were also quite a few new faces emerging. These new faces came from the Neutral Forces and some strong individuals who had secluded themselves due to the oppression by the Soul Covenant.

These individuals formed the top-level forces of the Three Great Palaces, numbering around thirty people.

Beyond these thirty individuals were elders, guest elders, great palace masters, palace masters, leaders of the Holy Guard, rulers of various Earth Realms, city masters, and vice city masters, among others.

This group amounted to over three hundred people. Each of them had a strength of at least Soul Emperor, and even some lower-ranked Soul Emperors were not qualified to sit here.

Of these three hundred people, Chu Mu knew only a limited few. Chu Mu had transformed into a demon while at the lower ranks of Soul Emperor and skipped over this stage after undergoing demonic cultivation, thus significantly increasing his strength, so he knew not many in this class.

Chu Mu skipped this rank, but that didn’t mean these people didn’t exist. From their sheer numbers alone, one could see that these individuals formed the core strength of the entire Wanxiang Realm and World Realm; without them, the two Earth Realms would plunge into chaos.

About four hundred people appeared in this great hall; having four hundred people in one hall was already quite a lot. Yet, when Chu Mu entered this great hall, it still felt somewhat spacious.

“Rest assured that we will take care of the people of Cloud Gate Realm. Although we really didn’t want to come here, now that we have been commanded, we will station ourselves here for five years until your territory is integrated into ours. Of course, we are not taking over; our master has ordered us not to interfere with any development here,” said a young man sitting in the guest area with a somewhat frivolous tone.

There were four people in the guest area. The speaker sat in the second place. This person was someone Liu Binglan had seen before–he was the arrogant youth, Ning Changqing, who had visited here once and taken away Ning Man’er.

“Chu Mu has returned!”

“It’s King Chu!”

As Ning Changqing spoke, all the people in the great hall noticed the three persons slowly walking in.

The eyes of Ning Changqing and his three companions also fell on the trio.

Chu Mu glanced at the four of them but said nothing, walking straight toward the high seats.

“King Chu?” At that moment, Ning Changqing took a sweeping look from Chu Mu’s side and finally turned to Old Man Han, speaking, “Are you the strongest man in New Moon Land, known as King Chu?”

Old Man Han was baffled but realized that all four people from the Dark Sky Sea World were staring at him, and he quickly understood.

“Ahem, you’ve made a mistake,” coughed Old Man Han.

Ning Changqing and the other three were stunned for a moment, looking confused, but then suddenly it dawned on them that the young man they had overlooked and almost ignored had walked right up to the empty golden main seat.

He sat comfortably in the most authoritative seat and then coldly and indifferently gazed down at the four of them.

All four faces showed astonishment: when the trio walked in, they subconsciously assumed that the older man, who seemed more experienced, was King Chu. Little did they expect that King Chu would be the youth they had initially swept their gaze over and almost chosen to ignore!
