Chapter 1678: Chapter 1536: A City, A Man (Part 1)
“`
“Let’s go.” Yu Suo suppressed the anger in her heart and said to Chu Mu.
“Since he’s your nemesis, is he also from the Heavenly Palace?” Chu Mu asked.
“I’ll tell you slowly later.” Yu Suo seemed very reluctant to talk.
Chu Mu glanced back at the figure standing on the black cloud and memorized the person’s appearance.
What concerned Chu Mu was that if this alliance crusade was orchestrated by that person, it meant that New Moon Land would face a Soul Pet Master whose strength could rival that of Dark King Shang.
In that case, Chu Mu could only keep Dark King Shang by his side at all times, otherwise Chu Mu truly didn’t know what power he could use to stop such a world-shaking powerhouse from spying on New Moon Land.
“Don’t worry, he wouldn’t dare to appear so brazenly.” Seeing Chu Mu’s worries, Yu Suo spoke up.
“Why?” Chu Mu asked.
“The rules of the Heavenly Palace.” Yu Suo said.
Chu Mu felt even more confused. What kind of rules did the Heavenly Palace have, and in what form did it actually exist in this world?
…
After leaving the chaotic barracks, Chu Mu and Yu Suo discarded their medals and stood far away on the highland, overlooking the basin.
The barracks were still noisy, especially the Dominator-level camps, which were still full of creatures running amok.
However, the oppressive dark cyclone at the center of the camp didn’t last too long before it gradually dissipated!
The terrible dark energy appeared very abruptly and vanished just as suddenly. All traces of darkness scattered with the gale blowing across the basin, like wisps of black smoke, losing any lethal power.
Once all the darkness was gone, everything quickly returned to peace.
In the center of the camp, black powder was scattered everywhere. This powder was once wooden houses, trees, rocks, but also the corpses of Soul Pet Masters and their Soul Pets!
Now, one couldn’t even describe the center of the camp as being in disarray, because everything there had turned to black gravel.
The people in the camp didn’t dare to confirm whether Dark King Shang had truly left. They could only watch from a distance, with lingering fear in their eyes, at the ground zero that had been ground into powder.
And further away, at the camps, many people didn’t even know what had happened. They stood there with blank expressions, all looking in the same direction.
These confused people didn’t notice that a black Dark Fox was quickly darting beneath their feet, inconspicuous and seemingly harmless…
The little Dark Fox kept running until it reached the outskirts of the basin. It leapt onto the high ground and then directly burrowed into Yu Suo’s soft embrace, lying there calmly and coolly, half-squinting its eyes, looking indifferent as if asleep.
“You run at the sight of powerful people!” Yu Suo said somewhat dissatisfied.
Deep down, Yu Suo still hoped that Dark King Shang could fight against that person, if not killing him, then at least to cause him some pain.
But Dark King Shang was too cunning. It didn’t fight battles that would consume its own energy, instead, it fled straight away.
This made Chu Mu also feel a bit of regret because if a battle of Dark King Shang’s level had erupted over the enemy’s camp, how many from the Alliance Crusade Corps would have died!
Such a pity.
“One of Mu Tian’s Intermediate Undying-level Soul Pets died, and Fire Lady lost a Low-grade Undying-level Soul Pet. Both their spirits have suffered injuries, which can lessen some of the pressure of Undying-level battles. There should be about 1000 Dominator-level powerhouses crushed to death in the darkness storm, and around ten Undying-level ones, I guess.” Yu Suo said calmly.
“That’s not too bad.” Chu Mu nodded.
The more the enemy’s strength could be weakened, the better. Being able to resolve 1000 Dominators and a dozen or so Undying-level Soul Pets without losing an inch on their own side meant that the gap between New Moon Land and the Alliance Crusade Legion was continuously shrinking.
“The Flower Demon Army led by Xia Zhixian will rule for me,” Yu Suo declared.
Actually, Yu Suo had not expected that there was still room for maneuver in this war. As much as Chu Mu may be despised, he was truly reliable when it mattered most, even capable of reversing tremendous tides.
“If we win, accompany me to a place.” Yu Suo’s eyes gazed at the starry night sky, speaking as if to the air.
Chu Mu turned his head to glance at her, this woman naturally had the air of a queen about her. Unwittingly, how had he become her subordinate?
“I’m busy,” Chu Mu declined calmly.
“You will go,” she stated.
Chu Mu ignored her.
The night sky, after the dispersal of the dark aura, appeared exceptionally clean, with stars adorning the black canvas as if within reach.
On the elevated highland of the basin, the seductively graceful figure of Yu Suo stood under the faint starlight, facing the fierce wind blowing up from the basin below, her short skirt and long hair fluttering and dancing.
To the side, Chu Mu stood tall and straight at the very edge of the slope, his black eyes, striking amidst the darkness of the night, were fixed unblinkingly ahead.
In the basin at his feet, countless lights flickered like stars, with innumerable Soul Pet Masters and Soul Pets moving about on the Black Earth…
Chu Mu remembered that when he first acquired Mo Ye, his first enemy was merely a Servant-Level Thorn Demon, but now, everyone within his field of vision was his enemy!
“`
Another war has begun, this time on an unprecedented scale!!
…
…
After winter, the accumulated snow started to melt, and spring was about to arrive.
Unfortunately, this spring is no longer about the revival of all things, no longer about vibrant life, because war has also come in this season.
No war is bereft of blood and sacrifice; war signifies death. As the war continues, the specter of hatred will shroud every heart, increasingly magnifying this malice. Following this, even more brutal, relentless slaughter ensues.
Humans have always portrayed themselves as civilized beings, but which era has ever seen humanity completely cease its own barbaric infighting?
War has no right or wrong, only victory or defeat.
Chu Mu, as a Soul Pet Master, has always adhered to his path of cultivation, unwilling to rest, unwilling to give up.
He dislikes war, yet he has gradually developed a habit of killing that is even more merciless than the machinery of warfare.
From his initial struggle for survival on the small Nightmare Demon Island, dodging between powerful creatures fighting for life and death, to now when a mere glance can annihilate enemies, holding the power of life and death over billions of people in New Moon Land…
Standing atop the fortress’s city tower, the oncoming wind carries the dense scent of battle. It’s mingled with the smell of sweat from wild beasts running amok, the essence exuded by Elemental Soul Pets, and the agitated breaths bellowed from countless creatures’ mouths. These collectively form a wind that passes through the vast East Madness Forest and hits the New Moon Land’s East Madness Forest Fortress.
Although the enemy is a whole day’s march from the city walls, this scent has already assaulted their senses ahead of time, so intense that Chu Mu can smell it very clearly.
Behind him lies the territory of New Moon Land.
Chu Mu doesn’t necessarily have special feelings for this land, as he has always considered himself a selfish person.
But on this land are people he must protect at all costs. Family, friends, and lovers.
Everyone standing on the city walls to guard New Moon Land probably shares the same reason as Chu Mu. Yet what Chu Mu has to protect is far more than all of theirs combined.
Because he is also the king of this territory!!
Many responsibilities often land unsuspectingly and unprepared upon oneself. Chu Mu’s life trajectory was always that of a Free Soul Pet Trainer, free to travel everywhere, to hear more tales of Soul Pets, to constantly battle to make himself and his Soul Pets stronger. Chu Mu himself doesn’t know when the heavy responsibility of New Moon Land began to rest on his shoulders, perhaps starting with the turmoil in World City.
However, when the enemy suddenly becomes the factional alliance of the eight most powerful Major Powers in the Human Domain, and when Chu Mu truly stands as a Guardian, that heavy pressure hits him just like that battle wind.
Indeed, thanks to friendships with other races, this battle has become less one-sided. And with the opportunistic schemes of the Dark King, some enemies have been wiped out. Yet New Moon Land is still at a disadvantage.
If defeated, so much will be lost.
The Ning’s Dynasty is undoubtedly here for Ning Man’er.
The Elemental Sect desires to plunder the Soul Hall’s Holy Land, tantamount to taking away Liu Binglan’s soul.
Princess Jinrou’s Demon Spirit Clan, the nightmare demons’ Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm, Chao Lengchuan’s Soul Hall, Bai Yu’s Nightmare Demon Palace, Pang Yue’s Soul Pet Palace, Mu Qingyi’s Wanxiang Realm, the jointly established New Moon Palace, and the cities where everyone depends on for survival—Wanxiang City, Xiangrong City, Snow City, World City…
Many Soul Pet Trainers who have just joined New Moon Land have finally ended their wandering lives and have a true belonging. But they may once again become homeless due to the defeat in this war.
Many unfulfilled people have gained pride and glory from the rapid growth of New Moon Land, only to once again lose everything due to war.
More lovers of freedom have found paths to achieve their goals in New Moon Land, continuously striving, yet their efforts could be cut short by defeat in war.
They were not originally from New Moon Land, but they willingly stayed to defend it.
Turning around, Chu Mu could see many unfamiliar but determined and resolute faces.
At this moment, Master Li’s words once spoken resonated in his mind again:
Everyone has something worth defending with their lives.
A long time ago, Chu Mu only wanted life, as if having life and survival meant having everything.
But now, Chu Mu realizes there are many things he is willing to defend with his life, more than just one thing, more than just one person.
This is a man’s responsibility.
If facing a single formidable enemy alone requires courage.
Then does facing the enemies of the whole world alone require merely courage?
Only responsibility can make a man stand fearlessly before the sea of enemies surging towards him…
Not taking a single step back!
