Supreme Tamer
Chapter 1288 - Chapter 1288 Chapter 1152 Didnt Encounter the Demon Man You

Chapter 1288: Chapter 1152: Didn’t Encounter the Demon Man? You Guys Are Really Lucky! Chapter 1288: Chapter 1152: Didn’t Encounter the Demon Man? You Guys Are Really Lucky! The agony of the soul bond breaking made Yong Chong realize he was indeed inferior to her now. Yong Chong’s features were somewhat distorted. Facing this woman’s cold and proud gaze, he also dared not speak another word.

Yong Chong’s Beast-System Sovereign did not run fast. Had the Silver Demon earnestly decided to kill him without Xiao Tan’s Cloud Bird, he would have undoubtedly died. Hence, he had to swallow his pride no matter what.

Yong Chong’s other subordinates dared not linger in battle anymore, they closely followed behind Xiao Tan’s Cloud Bird and fled in disarray.

As these people fled quickly, the fresh blood of Chu Mu’s Feathered Demons had already slipped cleanly through his fingers, leaving this vast area devoid of any people.

Chu Mu did not pursue them but instead flew towards where Bai Yu was located.

After receiving the enhancement of three types of recoveries, Bai Yu’s condition had also improved. He slowly opened his eyes, observed the foes that had dispersed around him, and looked at Chu Mu, who was gradually approaching.

“Are you all right?” The Demon Flame on Chu Mu gradually receded as he looked at the wounded Bai Yu and asked.

Bai Yu nodded and said, “You came here too… but, it’s truly meaningless for you now.”

In Bai Yu’s eyes, even though there was a vast territory beyond this Cloud Realm, this young man before him could still soar like an eagle, his eyes calm and indifferent, yet always gleaming with the light to fight higher in the skies.

A person’s achievement is not measured by his vision, but whether he still has a burning heart. Bai Yu felt this fiery heart within this young man, which could be described as ambition.

“I have an Emperor-level Demon Spirit here, take it and see if you can wake it up,” Chu Mu opened the Space Ring intending to give the Little Demon to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu shook his head and said, “One is enough.”

While speaking, Bai Yu’s gaze looked towards a white figure rapidly flying toward his location in the distance.

The Ice Pupil Kirin stepped through the air and swiftly approached where Bai Yu was. When it landed in front of Bai Yu, it was like a tearful child returning to their father’s embrace, rubbing its horned head against Bai Yu’s cheek with tear crystals shimmering in its eyes.

The moment Bai Yu received the Demon Spirit, he used the power of space to place the ring on the Ice Pupil Kirin, allowing it to bring the ring to its daughter. The Ice Pupil Kirin knew this meant the breaking of their soul contract, so it did not venture far but hid outside the mountains until it felt that Bai Yu was no longer in mortal danger, then it excitedly flew back.

During Bai Yu’s prolonged slumber, other Soul Pets perished due to the harsh cold, only the Ice-attribute Ice Pupil Kirin survived. It can be said that after the man and his pet awoke, they were all that was left in this world; how could the Ice Pupil Kirin bear to see its master die.

Bai Yu stroked the meaty cheeks of the Ice Pupil Kirin, a smile appearing on his face– truthfully, letting the Ice Pupil Kirin go alone was also something he was extremely reluctant to do.

“Since you’re alive, then live well,” Bai Yu had prepared himself to face death, but he survived nonetheless and even obtained the Demon Spirit, which should be the best scenario.

Shortly after Chu Mu had a conversation with Bai Yu, Ye Qingzi and the others had already arrived.

Ye Wansheng and the Crown Prince scanned the multitude of corpses around them with stunned expressions.

“We just saw the mountains and earth splitting here, saying there are many Dominator level powerhouses here is no exaggeration. If it were in our Wanxiang City, who knows what chaos it would cause,” said the Crown Prince.

Ye Wansheng nodded heavily and said, “It’s truly tragic; we thought being a Dominator was impressive, but here it seems it’s only enough to be counted among the strong ones.”

Both of these individuals were only at the Quasi-Lord Level, and judging by the numerous corpses around, they were still considered minor figures in this context, which was a severe blow to their ego.

Of course, what surprised them the most was the appearance of Uncle Bai Yu.

After resolving the issue with Alliance Master Ling Chan last time, Uncle Bai Yu had rested for a while in Wanxiang City before leaving without a word, and no one knew where he had gone.

Unexpectedly, they encountered him in the Guangtong Lost Realm within the Cloud Realm, it seemed that Uncle Bai Yu had known about the world outside Yunmen beforehand.

Ye Qingzi saw that both Bai Yu and Chu Mu were severely injured, and summoned their Soul Pets to heal Bai Yu and Chu Mu respectively.

As for the young Liao Yu, he stared at the chaotic battlefield with wide eyes.

He could hardly believe that so many strong ones had been slain by just these two, considering that just the group from Boundary Commander Wu Zhen in Wen City was among the top in terms of strength, not to mention the City Lord’s numerous subordinates. The total number of Dominator-level powerhouses was unknown, but such a lineup ended up being utterly defeated and fled in disarray, what immense strength that required!

Soon, Liao Yu’s view of Chu Mu shifted to one of admiration. Knowing that such young powerhouses in the entire Cloud Realm were nearly untouchable, meeting one was an extremely rare honor, and Liao Yu had never expected to encounter someone here in the wild Lost Realm with strength unquestionably on par with Li ZuoTeng and Mu Zheng.

Liao Yu secretly wondered why he had never heard of such an exceptional person before.

“Big Brother Chu, are you from Frontier City? Uncle Peng told me that there are even more experts there, including some who can easily defeat Li ZuoTeng and Mu Zheng, although I never believed it. Big Brother Chu, do you say it’s true that there are such strong people in Frontier City?” Liao Yu spoke like an excited, curious little child, trembling with excitement.

At the ages of fifteen or sixteen, it was easiest to fall into adoration of the strong, especially for those young powerhouses who won the admiration, respect, and reverence of countless people.

“Who are Li ZuoTeng and Mu Zheng?” Chu Mu asked.

“Huh? You don’t even know them?” Liao Yu was stunned.

Logically, strong ones should all know each other, and with Chu Mu’s current strength, he definitely qualified to know them.

“These two are the most outstanding individuals in the Li and Mu families. Their strength far surpasses their peers, and at such a young age, they are already highly prominent figures wielding significant authority in the Cloud Realm,” Bai Yu explained, which made Chu Mu a bit surprised that Uncle Bai Yu was keeping up with such matters.

“Yes, yes, one time when Mu Zheng came to our Cloud Realm, all my friends saw him; I just happened not to be in Cloud City and missed him, what a pity,” Liao Yu nodded vigorously, seeming eager to express how powerful and remarkable those two were but not quite knowing how to articulate it.

“Kid, what’s there to regret? When you reach their age, you might trample them as easily as stepping on ants. Don’t worship blindly; if you’re going to worship, worship yourself!” Ye Wansheng said with a grin.

Liao Yu immediately gave Ye Wansheng a disdainful look and responded, “How could that be? Even though I’m considered strong among my peers, reaching their level at that age is almost impossible. Don’t make such claims or you’ll be a laughingstock among my friends. I have a friend I grew up with who is now a disciple of Li ZuoTeng; his strength wasn’t much different from mine initially, but as his disciple, he has far surpassed me, already becoming a Soul Emperor, while I’m still a Soul Lord.”

As he spoke, Liao Yu was both envious and frustrated. In fact, he had even made a bet with his friend to have a duel when they turned eighteen.

Liao Yu wasn’t afraid of losing to him; rather, he was watching helplessly as his friend’s strength soared while his own remained stagnant. He feared that by the age of eighteen, all his Main pets combined wouldn’t match up to even one of his friend’s Sub Pets.

It’s tough, especially for someone like Liao Yu, who had a deep desire within, to agree to strive together to become strong ones, but only to watch as others climbed higher and higher.

Suddenly, Liao Yu thought of something, his eyes shimmering as he looked at Chu Mu.

Chu Mu, puzzled, looked at the kid, wondering why his expression was changing so quickly.

“Big brother Chu, why don’t you take me as your apprentice?!” Liao Yu asked with a timid yet hopeful look.

Chu Mu gave a bitter smile, still in a stage of cultivation himself, he had no intention of taking any disciples.

In Chu Mu’s view, apprentices should only be taken when one’s ambition is satisfied and no longer aims to climb higher.

“Kid, don’t kid yourself. Chu Mu only takes female disciples,” Ye Wansheng interjected.

“Ah?” Liao Yu’s face filled with disappointment.

Chu Mu bitter-smiled, what a mess this was.

“Focus on your own cultivation. I never had a master myself; all was through my own trials. I think with your daring act of venturing into Guangtong Lost Realm to save a sick person, you should be able to surpass those two people you mentioned,” said Chu Mu.

Ye Qingzi gave Chu Mu a coquettish roll of her eyes. What a way to encourage someone.

Having secured the Demon Spirit, it was naturally time for everyone to head home.

Originally, Bai Jinrou’s situation was urgent, so they planned to go directly to Wen City with Bai Yu. Bai Yu placed Bai Jinrou in an old friend’s ice chamber within an ice room, to postpone her life.

However, both Chu Mu and Bai Yu were injured. As they needed to pass through Wang City on the way to Wen City, everyone decided to rest briefly in Wang City before heading straight to Wen City to see if the Demon Spirit could awaken Bai Jinrou.

Wang City

Wang City Lord’s Mansion

Lord Li sat alone in the very center of the hall, his eyebrows tightly knit and clouded with concern.

The messenger had just left. He learned that during this battle over the Demon Spirit, they encountered two formidable Demon Men. These Demon Men had decimated the Dominator-level powerhouses, leading to heavy losses.

Lord Li didn’t know whether to feel relieved or to sigh.

He felt relief because he hadn’t sent many people to compete. This undoubtedly reduced his losses significantly. After all, the report just now mentioned that nearly half of the Dominator-level powerhouses from Wen City were lost, a disaster for a Sixth-level Territory City.

He sighed because the few he had sent hadn’t returned, and he had no idea whether they were alive or dead.

Even though their interaction was brief, those people were, after all, sent by him to capture the Demon Spirit, and he felt a responsibility, especially since among them was a niece of Vice City Lord Mu, the sole heir of one lineage. If they perished there, Lord Li really didn’t know how he would explain it to the Vice City Lord.

“Old Li, Old Li!!”

Suddenly, a thunderous voice exploded outside the hall!

In the whole of Wang City, probably only Vice City Lord Mu dared to address the city lord so informally.

Vice City Lord Mu strode in like lightning, his face full of fury, almost shaking the hall to pieces.

Lord Li massaged his temples. He had intended to delay telling this short-tempered man, to wait and see, perhaps they would return in a few days. Who knew which person had loose lips and let the news slip to him.

“Calm down, calm down,” said Lord Li, attempting a smile, signaling the Vice City Lord to speak calmly.

“Calm down? Take a look for yourself! Count how many died. Just look!” Vice City Lord Mu exploded in a barrage of curses, his face fired up in rage.

“I already know. I just saw the letter. Most of those who died were from Wen City,” said Lord Li.

“If I had listened to you, sent people to snatch that damned Demon Spirit, maybe all of them would be dead. I knew that thing wasn’t easy to get, and I didn’t send people. Look, you still tricked my niece and her friend into going. Couldn’t your greed kill you, old man?” Vice City Lord Mu shouted, casting blame thick and fast.

Lord Li’s mouth twitched, unsure what to say, realizing he had indeed been reckless.

However, he harbored no malice; he too hadn’t expected such fearsome Demon Men to appear and kill so many.

“If something happens to my niece, how am I supposed to explain it to my father?” said Mu Ruanen.

That was exactly what Lord Li feared most. If people were actually dead, the responsibility would indeed be grave.

“City Lord, a man claiming to be Chu Mu asks for an audience,” said the guard, half-kneeling as he spoke.

Lord Li’s eyes lit up, quickly instructing the guards to receive them.

At this moment, Vice City Lord Mu also suppressed his temper, taking his seat.

A moment later, Chu Mu and the others stepped into the city lord’s mansion hall. On seeing everyone present and even with two extra members, Lord Li felt a weight lift from his shoulders.

“Seeing you all safe and sound, the stone in my heart has finally fallen,” said City Lord.

“City Lord worried we wouldn’t return?” asked Chu Mu.

“Indeed. Some time ago, news came that two Demon Men appeared at the Demon Spirit site, killing half of the Dominator-level powerhouses. It is said that those two Demon Men are both fearsome and vicious,” said City Lord.

Chu Mu, unflinchingly, said, “We didn’t encounter any Demon Men.”

“You didn’t encounter any Demon Men? How lucky you are,” remarked the city lord.

Ye Qingzi and Mu Qingyi barely held back their laughter, thinking to themselves how splendid it would be if this elderly city lord knew that the two Demon Men were actually standing right in front of him.
