Supreme Tamer

Chapter 834: Chapter 701: Mother of Soul Hall, the Cruel Decision

Mirror Sword Mountain

Restless gales relentlessly whirl above the Netherworld Gate, these usually fierce currents intensified, as if they were stirred to follow the momentum of the chaos.

Dawn Palm Princess gathered light and transformed it into four dazzling Sun Swords hovering in front of an elder with white hair as if ready to fire like a bow in the tension-filled air. The sharpness made the Mirror Sword Elder involuntarily break into a cold sweat!

The Mirror Sword Elder had always hidden in World City, a genuine and highly respected hermit. He was responsible for opening and closing the Netherworld Gate. Even the Four Chiefs respectfully addressed him as an Old Master.

However, this highly respected elder was now being held at bay by four Sun Swords, motionless.

Two high-level Emperor-level soul pets stood at his side, not daring to make any movements. Because as soon as they made any move, the tip of Dawn Palm Princess’s Sun Swords would pierce through the old man’s body.

“Who allowed you to close the gates of Immortal City?!” cried an icy, angry woman’s voice. An invisible superior majesty imposed downward pressures, causing the Mirror Sword Elder to hold his breath.

“Your Highness the Venerate, I was fulfilling my duty; if it’s not closed now, I fear it will be difficult to close it again!” Said the Mirror Sword Elder respectfully.

Liu Binglan’s chest heaved with rage, almost unable to suppress it. Her entire body radiated coldness, her beautiful eyes turning into sharp swords piercing through the elder’s heart!

Liu Binglan could not control her emotions, because Chu Mu, an inspector, was still in Immortal City!

“Open the gate!” Liu Binglan didn’t say more, directly ordering the Dawn Palm Princess to bring the Sun Swords even closer to the Mirror Sword Elder!

The Mirror Sword Elder felt the oppression coming from Her Highness the Venerate and stepped back a few steps.

“Your Highness the Venerate, this gate must not be opened! Don’t you know the consequences of opening it? The disaster it would bring to millions of people in World City-” the elder trembled as he spoke.

“You are the Mother of Soul Hall, bearing the mission of protecting humanity. How can you abandon the world for your own selfish reasons? That is the life of millions of people, even involving the lives of billions of people in the World Realm!” The words of the Mirror Sword Elder struck Liu Binglan like thunder, and she stood there, dumbstruck.

Liu Binglan had been raised on Soul Hall’s teachings since she was a child, and in protecting Soul Hall, she was also protecting human civilization and survival.

Her Highness the Venerate should not have any personal feelings, but by some strange twist of fate, she became a mother.

She had tried to forget her identity as a mother and treated her own child with complete indifference.

However, she gradually discovered that a place in her heart was still occupied. And when she learned that Chu Mu was missing and likely dead, she realized just how important her only child was to her!

Liu Binglan would not let the pain of losing a child happen to her again…

Yet a single invisible gate forced her to choose between the lives of millions of people and her own child’s life!

At this moment, all-powerful Liu Binglan suddenly realized how cruel this choice was!

…

…

Outside Immortal City, in the chaotic area with no spatial fluctuations, Miss Shan sat on the ground, exhausted. She had already given in to despair.

Perhaps Miss Shan had never thought that death would come so suddenly.

“Is there any other way to open the gate?” Chu Mu, standing to the side, asked solemnly.

Whether it’s an Oath Beast or a Sealed Creature, they will actively attack foreign creatures. At this moment, the entire Immortal City had erupted into chaos, with all sorts of powerful soul pets causing havoc everywhere. As long as they stayed in this space, they were on a path to certain-death!

“The Mirror Sword Elder sealed the gate, and it cannot be opened. If it were forced open, spatial rifts would occur, which would open a new gateway for the monsters of the entire city to enter World City.” Miss Shan said stiffly.

“How much strength is needed to tear open the spatial rift?” Chu Mu asked.

“Only power beyond the emperor level is possible,” replied Miss Shan.

Chu Mu’s heart sank. He originally wanted to try half-demonization to forcibly tear open the spatial gate with the might of a Peak Emperor; however, what he didn’t expect was that the Netherworld Gate would be so impregnable that only a force beyond the emperor level could escape.

“Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!”

“Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao!”

“Awu! Awu! Awu!”

From the Immortal City filled with the scent of death, anxious cries kept emanating like a turbulent storm, battering down from the city!

It seemed the entire Immortal City had turned into a giant devil. Even Chu Mu, who was outside the city, felt the devil’s breath pressuring him, giving him an unprecedented sense of unease!

Chu Mu could half-demonize and possess the power of a Peak Emperor.

But even with half-demonization, Chu Mu couldn’t guarantee that he could kill all the unsealed prisoners and Oath Beasts.

Once half-demonization ended, Chu Mu, who had made a countless number of enemies, might instead attract more terrifying group attacks.

“What if we seal ourselves within a seal, then wait for some creature to break our seal, and after being released, can’t we evade their vengeance?” Chu Mu immediately thought of the method he used at the Blood Beast Altar.

Miss Shan shook her head and said, “Unless we are sealed for more than a year and take in too much of the decayed air of Immortal City to have the immortal smell of the city and be seen as the same kind. But given the speed at which these seals are being destroyed, can we be sure to stay intact in one for a year.”

“There must be other exits in Immortal City. Hao Ting and the others must have entered through the Netherworld Gate brazenly. Besides, given their speed, they might not have left Immortal City earlier than we did!” Chu Mu said.

“They have decay on them. I smelled it earlier,” Miss Shan said.

This made Chu Mu frown. In that case, Hao Ting and the others had already sealed themselves in Immortal City for a year! The defector girl’s plot was so perfect!

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

A deafening sound echoed from within the city.

Chu Mu glanced at Immortal City, noticing that a cloud of smoke was rolling toward him, its momentum was overwhelming, and it was filled with murderous intent!

“It’s… It’s those Oath Beasts you awakened!” Miss Shan’s face turned pale as she exclaimed in horror.

The number of Oath Beasts was enormous, and the ones Chu Mu had trampled on were also very powerful. Even with his many Emperors, he would be overwhelmed…

At this moment, an unprecedented pressure made Chu Mu’s heart start to race.

In the past, Chu Mu could always calmly analyze and then survive in desperate situations.

But this time, Chu Mu truly felt somewhat powerless, because the enemies he was facing were too vast and numerous!

…

“Buzz~~~~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, a special fluctuation emanated from the chaos behind Chu Mu!

This fluctuation was a collision with space, very distinct!

“Someone… someone wants to break the seal!” Miss Shan looked in terror at the increasingly distorted chaos!

At least a High Emperor would be needed to truly cause a collision between two separate spaces. Only a Peak Emperor could barely cause some shock to space, and only those who surpassed Emperors could truly tear space apart!

At this moment, space was shaking, which meant that a Peak Emperor-level Soul Pet was colliding with the Netherworld Gate on the other side of space!

Miss Shan was completely stunned; she couldn’t figure out who could have a Peak Emperor-level Soul Pet!

“Mu’er…”

A faint voice came from the slightly shaken space!

Chu Mu was taken aback and thought he had misheard, but the next time the space shook, he heard that anxious voice again.

“Young Master, when space shakes, Soul Sense can be transmitted. Quickly communicate with Her Highness the Female Venerate, she is outside the Netherworld Gate.” Fox Elder reminded Chu Mu urgently.

“Mom, I’m here!” Chu Mu hurriedly responded.

“Great… That’s good…” Liu Binglan’s voice was almost choked with tears.

“I’m trapped here, how can I get out?” Chu Mu asked urgently.

“Listen carefully, don’t miss a word!” Liu Binglan hurriedly said.

“Yes.” Chu Mu took a deep breath.

When it came to life and death, Chu Mu’s heart seemed to beat with every sound transmitted through the space’s shaking!

“The Netherworld Gate cannot be opened. In Immortal City, find a sealed place and use your Soul Sense to self-destruct. This way, the Oath Beasts and Sealed Creatures won’t detect your scent and won’t attack you.”

Self-destruct?

Death would indeed make one undetectable by the Oath Beasts and Sealed Creatures. Is suicide the only way to go?

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you die. Those who self-destruct using Soul Sense will have their bodies and souls preserved intact. Also, communicate with your Soul Pets beforehand and tell them to continue waiting in the Soul Pet Space, so the soul contract won’t be broken… ”

“Once this storm passes, I’ll come to Immortal City to find you as soon as possible, and then use a secret technique to revive you. At that time, you will still be the same as before, without any harm!”

“Yes.” Chu Mu replied without question, taking Liu Binglan’s words seriously.

…

On top of Mirror Sword Mountain

The Mirror Sword Elder heard Liu Binglan’s words transmitted through the spatial vibration very clearly, but his face was extremely grim.

“Your Highness, this absolutely must not be done! Self-destructing with Soul Sense is indeed sub-death, but it’s still death. To revive him, you must sacrifice the life of a blood relative. If Chu Tianmang can’t be found, you can only offer your life to resurrect him.” The Mirror Sword Elder said with a horrified expression on his face.

“I know.” Liu Binglan replied indifferently.

After saying that, Liu Binglan resolutely turned around and flew toward World City.

…

The wild wind howled, with Liu Binglan’s long hair fluttering chaotically, her proud and graceful figure gradually disappeared in the afterglow of the setting sun…
