Supreme Tamer

Chapter 1237: Chapter 1101: A Victory That Came One Era Too Late Chapter 1237: Chapter 1101: A Victory That Came One Era Too Late The tranquility and peace of Xiangrong City was an intoxicating pleasure.

It had gracefully fluttering Spirit Butterflies that delighted the eyes, romantically beautiful city gardens that seemed like fairylands, and seasons that were perpetually springlike, making one linger and forget to return.

In the orderly planned streets, elders with kind faces sat in courtyards, confident youth Soul Pet Trainers were sparring, and children chased and frolicked with the Spirit Butterflies, running up and down the alleys.

After the baptism of war, the tranquility of the city seemed even more profound, and everything in Wanxiang City appeared unrelated to this city…

…

In the ancient courtyard, Old Man Chen sat alone, listening intently to the sounds of the forest swaying with the wind.

On the elder’s shoulder, a black Spirit Butterfly perched, its eyes always conveying emotions that others could not understand, as lonely as the blind old man sitting in the courtyard listening to the wind.

Time seemed to pass slowly, yet also swiftly, which was exactly how the elder felt inside—restless and anxious, wishing everything would end quickly, yet also hoping it wouldn’t end so soon.

Unconsciously, the elder fell asleep in that unease. In his dream, he saw the young man in white resolutely walking out of Xiangrong City, heading towards a city filled with enemies,

he saw his white clothing soaked red, fought until it dried, then stained again with fresh blood, layer upon layer…

His bravery made the enemies retreat in dread, with countless corpses piled beneath his feet, impressively formidable.

But in the end, he fell.

The enemies were indeed too many, too strong—the Four Heroes, Li Hong, the Underground King, and the most terrifying Alliance Master Ling Chan. He had fought until darkness fell and made the entire Soul Covenant tremble with his roars, yet he ultimately fell, lying among the countless enemy corpses!

The sharp laughter of Ling Chan and other Soul Covenant strong ones rang out, watching the fallen young man in white, and Old Man Chen’s heart shattered as if he had witnessed the heart-wrenchingly painful youth from twenty or thirty years ago!

Old Man Chen’s body trembled violently and he abruptly woke from the dream. The black Spirit Butterfly on his shoulder also fluttered its wings and flew up, looking puzzlingly at the unsettled Old Man Chen.

The laughter of those from the Soul Covenant and a heart-rending voice that lingered in his own heart echoed in Old Man Chen’s ears, unforgettable for a lifetime.

“How… how could I let a child go to such a dangerous place, how could I let this happen a second time…” Old Man Chen stood up weakly, his bent body trembling incessantly.

In the last era, he had lost terribly, ruining a child’s brilliant future. This era, he could only sit in the courtyard, waiting hopelessly while another child fought bloodily, facing so many enemies.

Over the years, he had never minded growing old, instead gradually accepting and willing to end his days like this, but at this moment he desperately wished he could fight alongside his Soul Pets like before, never have despised his aged body like he did now.

Unable to calm his emotions, his chest heaving continuously, the elder’s emotional turmoil was extremely strong.

New buds grew, old falling leaves were blown off by the wind, landing on Old Man Chen’s body.

After a long while, Old Man Chen could only sit back down despondently, his entire being sinking into a death-like silence…

“Old Chen, Old Chen!!” Suddenly, a highly urgent voice came from outside the courtyard.

The elder’s body jolted as if electrocuted, and he stood up abruptly again.

He knew that the message had finally arrived, but at that moment, his nearly non-beating heart started thumping violently, filling him with immense unease.

Elder Duan hurriedly ran to Old Man Chen’s side, taking three steps at a time.

“What is it, quickly say…” Old Man Chen blurted out, but then, subconsciously feeling it might be bad news, he hastily wished to stop.

Seeing how flustered such a mighty person from the last era was, Elder Duan couldn’t help but laugh, finding this rare sight of Old Man Chen amusing.

After catching his breath, Elder Duan finally spoke, “Old Chen, don’t panic, let me explain slowly.”

“You first tell me how the kid is doing, dead or alive?” The nightmare just now still had Old Man Chen greatly distressed, so his most pressing concern was this question.

“Alive, of course he’s alive!!” Elder Duan declared.

Old Man Chen let out a long sigh of relief and said, “Alive… alive is good. He’s still young, as long as he’s alive, one day he’ll reach heights none of us can, will defeat those enemies, but those people executed…”

Old Man Chen knew, since Chu Mu had escaped, those who refused to surrender were probably all executed, and he couldn’t help feeling deeply sorrowful for them.

“Old Chen, what are you talking about, the people who were to be executed have all been rescued!” Elder Duan saw the old man muttering to himself and immediately spoke out loudly.

Old Man Chen’s expression froze, and then his face broke into a wide grin, wrinkles and all, “The people to be executed have been rescued? That… that’s great… oh, oh, how… how did he do it?”

“How did he do it?” Elder Duan was also stumped by the question, thought for a moment, and then said, “He defeated everyone from the Soul Covenant, then rescued all those to be executed, they are now…”

“Wait, wait. Did you just say he defeated everyone in the Soul Covenant?” Old Chen hurriedly interrupted Elder Duan, asking seriously.

“Yes, everyone!” Elder Duan emphasized as he spoke.

“Xiong Mo Moling, Xiong Zuo Training Extension, Traitor Li Hong, Underground Palace Yijun, Xiong Shou Yuan Sui, and the Alliance Master Ling Chan—were all these people also defeated by him?” asked Old Chen.

“Yes, all of them, including the Soul Alliance Master Ling Chan, and even the deeply hidden Empress—all were defeated!!” Elder Duan nodded emphatically.

Though Old Chen could not see Elder Duan’s nod, when he heard the certainty in his voice, Old Chen was completely stunned!

That the entire Dominator Level lineup of the Soul Covenant had been… completely defeated—had he really not heard wrong??

Old Chen was somewhat familiar with the strength of the others; they formed the very peak of the human pyramid and were nearly invincible.

Having personally fought against the Soul Alliance Master himself, Old Chen knew very well how strong he was!

Old Chen had originally thought that Chu Mu might have fled. With Dream of Oblivion and the ability to half-demonize, it wasn’t hard for Chu Mu to escape. Yet, Elder Duan told him that even the sentenced ones had been rescued.

To be able to rescue people and retreat was already surprising enough for Old Chen; to him, this was the best possible outcome. Old Chen couldn’t have hoped for more.

But who knew, Chu Mu far exceeded Old Chen’s expectations, defeating everyone including Alliance Master Ling Chan, achieving complete victory!!

“Little Duan, are… are you sure you’re not mistaken?” Old Chen’s voice trembled and was hoarse.

“Absolutely not a mistake. That kid, riding the Dream of Oblivion with everyone, is almost reaching Xiangrong City now. If you don’t believe me, you can go and see… oh, go and ask yourself!!” Elder Duan said.

After hearing this, Old Chen seemed to come back to life, asking Elder Duan to lead the way, hastily walking towards the city gate!

Elder Duan led the way, quickening his pace. Both men seemed to have forgotten to summon their Soul Pets, focused solely on running outside the city to see and hear their return.

…

At the East City Gate of Xiangrong City, the dark purple Dream of Oblivion flapped its wings, swiftly approaching Xiangrong City against the glow of the setting sun.

The Dream of Oblivion had transformed larger than its usual size because its back was carrying many people, including the captive Soul Covenant officials.

“Wuu wuu wuu~~~~~~”

Mutant Little Mo Xie, perched on Chu Mu’s shoulder, looked at the increasingly closer Xiangrong City and couldn’t help but emit a sound declaring their triumphant return.

Despite its feeble and endearing sound, it starkly contrasted with its intimidating roar that once petrified millions of creatures; instead, it sounded somewhat joyously cute.

Meditating and healing Chu Mu heard Little Mo Xie’s noise and slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Chu Mu awake, the mischievous Little Mo Xie playfully swept Chu Mu’s cheek with its tail, unrelentingly cheerful.

A knowing smile appeared on Chu Mu’s face as he caressed its soft fur.

If it weren’t for this little one’s mutation, perhaps he himself would never have returned to this city; Little Mo Xie never disappointed him.

Looking at the tranquil city bathed in the sunset, Chu Mu felt for the first time how precious peace was.

The Dream of Oblivion flew over the city walls, as countless Spirit Butterflies, like clouds encircling their king, gathered in vibrant floating masses just outside the city, as if celebrating everyone’s return.

“Huu~~~~~~~”

Without stopping, the Dream of Oblivion flew past the city walls and the Spirit Butterflies, streaking towards the City Lord Mansion with incredible speed, like lightning cutting across the city sky.

Chu Mu’s gaze hurriedly swept over, wanting to see the faces of the city’s soldiers celebrating their victory, but he instead saw an elderly man supporting another, even older person standing quietly on the main street.

The robust elder pointed excitedly at the swiftly passing Dream of Oblivion in the sky and said something.

Yet the elderly blind man merely tilted his ear to listen to the passing Dream of Oblivion, then shook with sobs, tears streaming down his face!

This scene flickered by, but the stoic old man with tears carved a deep impression in Chu Mu’s mind, stirring his emotions.

This was their era’s battle, but wasn’t it also the battle of the previous era’s people?

Nothing could make an elderly man weep with joy more than a victory that came an era too late…
