Supreme Tamer

Chapter 1622: Chapter 1482: Absolute Say

Struggle Capital

Entering the Struggle Capital once again, New Moon Palace had already carved out a position for itself within the Struggle Capital.

Shen Mo managed the palace here with impeccable order, much to the satisfaction of Honorable Lady Liu Binglan.

During her time in Wanxiang City, Shen Mo gradually took over the roles of his father, the Elder, and Jiang Demon Emperor, taking charge of Nightmare Demon Palace. Then, as New Moon Land expanded its reach to other Boundaries, opening up palaces of its own, Liu Binglan felt that Shen Mo would perform well, so she entrusted him with the management of the New Moon Palace that needed to be rebuilt in Struggle Capital.

As it turned out, Shen Mo was indeed an exceptional manager. When Liu Binglan last visited Struggle Capital, not many people within Struggle City knew about New Moon Land. But this time, she found that quite a few people had a certain understanding of New Moon Palace, and even many Experts had been recruited to serve New Moon Palace.

“Just go ahead and do it in your own way,” said Liu Binglan with a smile, looking at Shen Mo who was reporting the general situation to her.

Shen Mo had many expansion plans to propose, which naturally involved the use of some of New Moon Land’s resources. Here, he still needed to seek Liu Binglan’s approval.

Shen Mo was absolutely loyal, and Liu Binglan was fortunate to delegate full authority, allowing him to fully demonstrate his capabilities. After all, the New Moon Land would ultimately belong to these people, and there had to be a successor when Liu Binglan stepped down.

Having traveled from New Moon Land to various Boundaries within the Struggle Capital, even making a trip to the newly emerging Northern Territory, Liu Binglan met with many city masters, Boundary Masters, and Kings along the way.

For some reason, those alliances that were normally friendly towards New Moon Land had been acting strangely recently, which made Liu Binglan feel somewhat uneasy.

Moreover, Lord Li, who had the friendliest relationship with them, seemed to have whispered some rumors to Liu Binglan, suggesting that certain forces were targeting New Moon Land.

Liu Binglan had also noticed this lately. Originally, the development of New Moon Land was very smooth, but in recent half a year, it encountered continuous hindrance in many Boundaries. Gradually, some ill-intentioned people had joined New Moon Land, deliberately sabotaging the unity within.

It can be said that New Moon Land has now encountered a bottleneck.

This bottleneck did not stem from within New Moon Land itself, but rather because of the obvious crowding out, rejection, and suppression by other forces.

In over a hundred Boundaries, New Moon Land owned palaces in only thirty-odd Frontier Cities, including a symbolic palace in the current Struggle Capital. Yet, over seventy other Boundaries simply did not allow New Moon Land to have any influence.

Most of the external members of New Moon Land were wandering Soul Pet Masters. When they traveled to other Boundaries, they found no influence belonging to New Moon Land, which led to a lack of sense of belonging and consequently to the loss of personnel.

Shen Mo had anticipated this situation before. At first, he thought it was because New Moon Land did not have a Sect Leader Level Powerhouse, but gradually he found that, even with a Sect Leader Level Powerhouse, the growth of New Moon Land was still restricted.

Across the entire Struggle Land, Immortal Level Powerhouses were still limited in number. If they couldn’t expand their influence and gather support from other territories, it was nearly impossible to win over more Immortal Level Powerhouses because most had their own affiliations already.

Liu Binglan also had a headache over this issue but indeed didn’t have a better solution.

…

During the night, Liu Binglan sat in the Courtyard, replaying the people she met and events that occurred on this trip in her Brain, trying to deduce something from these people’s reactions.

In the midst of her reflections, a scent of unique and enchanting fragrance wafted through the air, relieving much of the travel fatigue upon a single sniff.

Some people always seem to send their intoxicating fragrance before their arrival, Liu Binglan knew who the person that appeared in the courtyard was.

“Have a seat,” said Liu Binglan, gesturing to the spot beside her, speaking to the stunningly ethereal woman.

It couldn’t be denied, this woman possessed a beauty that was beyond this world.

Purple hair reaching down to her hips, cascading softly. Her smooth forehead was as delicate as jade, her eyebrows faint without the need for deliberate embellishments, yet they sketched out a woman’s charming demeanor. Below the eyebrows, her bright eyes sparkled with mystery and wisdom, holding a unique magical power that deeply ensnared anyone with a glance, revealing her teasing and enchanting smile.

In the past, Liu Binglan never really took the time to observe her closely. Today, sitting so close, Liu Binglan grew curious about how there could be such flawless beauty in this world, so beautiful that even a peerless beauty like herself felt a hint of envy.

In the past, they might have been in opposition, or even held hatred toward each other, but those times have long since passed, and naturally, such feelings had faded. Moreover, even without Empress Yu Suo, the Soul Covenant, with its absolute advantage, would inevitably have engulfed the Three Great Palaces.

“Are you curious why we have a pair of identical eyes?” Yu Suo noticed Liu Binglan was observing her and started the conversation.

Yu Suo’s comment caught Liu Binglan by surprise, and only then did she realize and pay attention to the fact that Yu Suo’s eyes also shimmered with a hint of purple luster.

Liu Binglan indeed had not paid attention to this detail before. Now that Yu Suo had pointed it out, Liu Binglan grew even more puzzled, wondering if there was some sort of relationship between her and Yu Suo?

“What do these eyes represent?” Liu Binglan asked.

“It signifies that our bloodline is superior to all humans you currently see,” Yu Suo said with an air of pride.

Liu Binglan had never felt any sense of superiority; if there was anything special about her, it was that her Soul Sense grew much faster than that of others, and her method of cultivation was indeed different. She possessed a unique cultivation space, something that others did not have.

This uniqueness always ensured that her strength was maintained at a comparatively high level.

In New Moon Land, many knew of the strength of Chu Mu, Mu Qingyi, Ye Qingzi, Chao Lengchuan, Ye Wansheng, Bai Yu and others, but they were unaware that Honorable Lady Liu Binglan, who always held an absolute pivotal position in New Moon Land, was also very strong.

Even many Boundary Masters and city masters outside had always thought of Liu Binglan as a defenseless woman, because the information they had indicated that she rarely went out to gain experiences and the one battle she did fight was just a long-ago battle for New Moon Land’s independence.

“So, when you first targeted me in the Di Sheng Flower Holy Land and signed a soul contract with Chu Mu, it wasn’t a coincidence?” Liu Binglan quickly recalled this matter.

“It was a coincidence. At that time, I had nowhere to turn and had to choose a host. Choosing you would not work; your guard is too strong, and your strength would certainly grow quickly if not suppressed, possibly surpassing mine. So I could only choose Chu Mu… It’s just that I didn’t expect…” Yu Suo’s voice was tinged with bitterness.

“You didn’t expect that his growth rate would be far faster than mine,” Liu Binglan suddenly found this to be an interesting turn.

“Let’s leave it at that; it’s already done.” Yu Suo knew that by giving her heart-like Flower Pistil to Chu Mu, there was no chance for her to turn things around in this lifetime. No matter how strong she became in the future, she was Chu Mu’s Soul Pet and could never escape, unless Chu Mu was willing to return the Flower Pistil to her.

“What about the eyes, what is my relationship with you?” Liu Binglan redirected the conversation back to the original subject.

“If your hair was also purple, perhaps we might have some blood relation. But your hair is black,” Yu Suo stated.

Liu Binglan still did not quite understand Yu Suo’s words, but it was now almost certain that before transforming into an Abnormal Human, Yu Suo must have been a human of an extremely high bloodline, possibly even a member of the Imperial Clan mentioned in the invitation letter.

“Why do you harbor such great resentment in your heart? I feel that the former you shouldn’t have been like this,” Liu Binglan inquired.

“I resent who I was before: too weak, too naive, and too ridiculous,” Yu Suo glanced into the distance, her lips curling into a faint smile, “You should know that in this world kindness and sacrifice are futile. That girl from the World Monarch Tree will either die in torment or become another me.”

Liu Binglan had heard about Ning Man’er from Chu Mu, and upon hearing Yu Suo’s words, she couldn’t help but theorize about Yu Suo’s past.

Yu Suo possessed a special aura of innate holiness that easily attracted the affections of living beings, similar to Ning Man’er’s kind and pure heart.

The Good and Evil Queen perhaps had goodness not as a disguise, but as her nature. And evil too was her nature; she was an entity of contradictions.

“What is your relationship with Ning Man’er?” Liu Binglan questioned.

Yu Suo shook her head and said, “No relation. She is her, I am me; our experiences are just somewhat similar. But she is luckier than me; she had someone to protect her when needed.”

“Don’t you have someone now?” Liu Binglan pointed out.

“Are you referring to Chu Mu?”

Liu Binglan nodded.

“He would love to kill me, and he is sick in the head, enjoying torturing others,” Yu Suo declared haughtily.

“…” Liu Binglan was somewhat speechless; it was rare to have someone so unabashedly speak ill of her son right to her face. If it were anyone else, Liu Binglan would have dealt with her by now.

However, it must be said that during that time, Chu Mu indeed tortured Yu Suo quite harshly, something no normal person could endure—the scorching of Demon Flame.

Fortunately, Ye Qingzi was kind-hearted and secretly helped relieve some of Yu Suo’s agony caused by Demon Flame.

Chu Mu harbored great resentment towards Yu Suo, while Ye Qingzi viewed the matter from an objective standpoint, wishing not to let their conflict and hatred escalate. Her actions were truly wise, because as it stood now, everything Yu Suo did could be said to protect New Moon Land.

“I will also be attending the Liangkun Mountain Conference. You should be cautious during this meeting; many will likely target you,” Yu Suo warned Liu Binglan.

“I’ve felt it,” Liu Binglan nodded in agreement.

Before attending the conference, Liu Binglan had already sensed that something was amiss.

“A very powerful force is trying to take down New Moon Land; you need to prepare thoroughly. I still shouldn’t openly display my power, but if you can get through this time on your own, from the Liangkun Mountain Conference onward, and across the entire Struggle Land, we will have the ultimate say,” Yu Suo stated.
