Supreme Tamer

Chapter 617: Chapter 488: Assassin? Not even considered a residue!

…

In the forest, the veiled Princess Jinrou walked somewhat bewilderedly through the woods, appearing exceptionally exhausted after surviving a life or death pursuit.

She had summoned her two main Soul Pets, the White Demon Princess floated in the air, half-suspended, and scanned their surroundings for any movement.

The Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon carried Princess Jinrou cautiously forward. In this forest, apart from the remaining assassins, there were many wild Soul Pets that could attack anyone who trespassed their territory at any time.

The time until the end of the realm challenge was nearing, and Princess Jinrou had to cross this forest and reach Chen Lake Waterfall as soon as possible; otherwise, she would be eliminated in this seventh realm.

“Princess, Princess!” Suddenly, a woman’s voice rang out.

Princess Jinrou and her Soul Pets immediately went into alert mode, their eyes closely watching a female Soul Pet Master running towards them at a fast pace.

Seeing the arrival of this female Soul Pet Master, Princess Jinrou’s pale face also showed a joyful smile.

This female Soul Pet Master was her female guard, who specialized in training in the wild. Now that she had joined forces with Princess Jinrou, they could safely leave the forest together.

“Princess, why did my Soul Pets fail to sense your aura after entering the Mysterious Realm? They only detected it now, and it is very weak.” The female guard supporting Princess Jinrou asked.

Mandarin Duck Grass was a special type of Spirit Item used to find companions. Each stalk of Mandarin Duck Grass had a different scent. If a Soul Pet with a keen sense of smell sniffed a part of the Mandarin Duck Grass, it would be able to find another person with Mandarin Duck Grass by following the scent.

“Someone set a trap for me here,” Princess Jinrou said.

“Traps? Was it that group of people from before?” The female guard asked in surprise.

Princess Jinrou nodded and said, “It shouldn’t be a mistake.”

“Their ultimate goal is…” the female guard murmured. As a princess of the Nightmare Demon Palace, Princess Jinrou held a high POSITION and was protected by the Nightmare Demon Palace. No faction, even with ill intentions, would dare to harm a Princess of the Nightmare Demon Palace.

However, these unknown enemies had targeted Princess Jinrou for the second time. Princess Jinrou had no deep hatred with anyone, and there was no reason for someone to carefully plan to control her.

“Let’s leave here first,” Princess Jinrou didn’t say much. She had to find out the truth about this incident, especially regarding the frightening Female Sovereign. Otherwise, she would always be in danger.

“Alright.” The female guard led the way, guiding Princess Jinrou.

…

A noticeable gap was located on a ridge of the giant mountain. This gap led directly to the inner part of the mountain and reached the abyss beneath the cavern.

At this moment, more than a dozen green-clothed killers had appeared around the vertical cave. They had summoned all of their Soul Pets, totaling nearly fifty. They hid in the shadows outside of the cave, waiting quietly for their prey to appear.

Next to the dozen or so killers, Ling He and Pan Zheng had both recalled their Winged Soul Pets and summoned their main Soul Pets, ready at any moment for Chu Mu and his Soul Pets to emerge.

The footprints of Crown Flame reached here, and Ling He’s Lightning King could sense Chu Mu below, about to climb up from the abyss into the ground.

As expected, shortly after, there were sounds of footsteps on the rocks beneath the cave.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!”

The Mo Ye Flames stepped into the air and dashed up the almost vertical rock wall. It quickly reached where the sunlight fell, leaped agilely, and jumped out of the vertical cave.

Chu Mu was wrapped up by Mo Ye’s tail. After Mo Ye jumped to the ground, it gently placed Chu Mu on the ground.

After a moment, the White Demon floated out of the cave, its body burning with Nine Nether Demon Flame. As it appeared, the temperature of the sunlight instantly dropped.

Chu Mu smiled as his gaze swept over the assassins hiding nearby, believing themselves well concealed.

Hiding to one side, Ling He quickly frowned, for Princess Jinrou was not with Chu Mu.

Seeing Chu Mu, the raging flames in Pan Zheng’s eyes ignited. Chu Mu’s Thirteen Hell Flames had instantly killed both his main pets and inflicted Dual Spirit injuries on him, creating a deep hatred!

“The princess isn’t with him…” Ling He was more concerned about whether their goal had been achieved or not. As for Chu Mu, Ling He didn’t really care about him.

The mysterious Female Sovereign had made it clear that she wanted all of Chu Mu’s Soul Pets to be killed but spared Chu Mu’s life. Ling He also knew Chu Mu was just an insignificant person, swept into their plan at an inappropriate time, and shouldn’t be dealt with directly.

However, Ling He couldn’t understand why the mysterious Female Sovereign didn’t issue a death sentence and kill Chu Mu directly, but instead left him a way to survive.

“Forget it, just take him down for now!” Ling He clearly had a deeper mind than Pan Zheng. In the face of Chu Mu, he didn’t show any anger despite his Tenth Rank Fiery Sun Rhinoceros being killed by Chu Mu’s Mo Ye. He calmly ordered the hidden assassins to completely encircle Chu Mu.

Ling He waved his hand, issuing orders to all the hidden assassins.

All the assassins immediately issued orders to their soul pets, and nearly fifty soul pets quickly appeared in front of Chu Mu, surrounding him.

Chu Mu stood there, scanning the fifty high-ranking Commanders at the ninth stage, his expression unchanged, as he fixed his gaze on Pan Zheng and Ling He who slowly emerged from behind the rocks.

Before this, Chu Mu would have been completely unable to handle fifty high-ranking ninth-stage Commanders. But now…

“Where are you going to run now!” Pan Zheng grinned and laughed.

“Why do you serve that woman?” Chu Mu directly ignored Pan Zheng and slowly asked.

“Tell me where Princess Jinrou is hiding, and perhaps you can keep one of your soul pets.” Ling He also didn’t answer Chu Mu’s question, using a threatening tone to speak to Chu Mu.

“She’s in Donglu Forest,” replied Chu Mu, whose gaze locked onto Ling He, as if saying that he had already answered his question.

Ling He smiled, as the situation was under control anyway, and telling him didn’t make much difference, “She eats the meat, and we drink the soup. For us, the soup is already very delicious.”

“She wants to win the ultimate glory of the second-tier competition? If she takes the meat, what’s left for you?” Chu Mu continued to ask.

Ling He and Pan Zheng looked at each other and then laughed loudly. From their expressions, Chu Mu could see their disdain for his question, as if mocking his ignorance.

“It doesn’t matter if I tell you, our goal is the first-tier competition, or even something you ignorant creatures have no idea about…” Ling He’s eyes became a bit playful.

Ling He was a calm person, and he would never reveal any information without absolute certainty, as doing so could bring about unnecessary trouble.

But under the current circumstances, telling Chu Mu had no effect. In his eyes, Chu Mu was already a useless person, and once he was in control, even if the female sovereign didn’t kill him, she would definitely release him only after the World Decree was over.

“He killed two of my soul pets, so I’ll deal with these two!” Pan Zheng put away his mocking smile, and his eyes became colder.

“Be quick and clean. Don’t let this well-known figure from Soul Hall suffer too much,” said Ling He.

As he spoke, Ling He deliberately had the assassins’ soul pets get closer, not giving Chu Mu any chance to struggle.

“A perfect Commander-level Nine-tailed Crown Flame Fox and the strongest intermediate Monarch White Nightmare Demon. Tsk, tsk, both are pretty good main pets. Do you want me to give you some time to say goodbye to these two soul pets?” Pan Zheng laughed, and the loss of his two soul pets had driven him crazy. Now that he finally had the opportunity to avenge his soul pets, he couldn’t help but want to kill Chu Mu as well if he could.

“Almost forgot, Pan Zheng, leave the Nine-tailed Crown Flame Fox alive; Zuo Xiao has made it clear that it cannot be killed,” Ling He suddenly remembered something and spoke to Pan Zheng.

“Can’t be killed? So, we can only deal with the White Nightmare Demon. Even though the Nine-tailed Flame Fox is rare, are you saying that with our current abilities, we can’t get better soul pets?” Pan Zheng said somewhat annoyedly.

Chu Mu listening to this conversation had the corner of his mouth slightly hook upwards. Indeed, Xia Guanghan and Zuo Xiao were in collusion; otherwise, Zuo Xiao would not have specifically told these people not to kill Mo Ye. Xia Guanghan must still be ambitious and want to get Mo Ye, who could continuously mutate.

“Just do it. If you can even handle Zuo Xiao. Apparently, Zuo Xiao wooed Soul Covenant’s Qin Ye to deal with this kid in the eighth realm but ended up promising Qin Ye a favor for nothing…” Ling He said.

“Hmph, killing a White Nightmare Demon is also good. Keep an eye on him and don’t let him withdraw his soul pets!” Pan Zheng snorted coldly and ordered his other two soul pets to kill the White Demon.

Pan Zheng’s other two soul pets were both intermediate Monarchs at the ninth stage. If they really competed with the White Demon, they might not be a match for it. Pan Zheng was naturally aware of this and had Ling He’s Lightning King specifically control the White Demon mentally, not giving the White Demon a chance to display its fearsome Nine Netherworld Demon Flame.

“Hiss~~~~~”

White Demon let the Lightning King mentally control it, completely ignoring the two fierce intermediate Monarchs at the ninth stage.

Similarly, facing this trapped situation, Mo Ye even exaggeratedly yawned and then lay on the ground, as if he was going to sleep…

Seeing Chu Mu’s two soul pets behave so lazily as if they had completely disregarded them, Pan Zheng was furious. Do these two things not fear death at all!

Of course, Mo Ye and White Demon knew that they were facing many enemies and that the enemies were formidable. However, compared to the hundreds or even thousands of Thousand-leg Centipedes in the abyss they had just faced a moment ago, these fifty ninth-stage high-level Commanders posed no threat to a certain individual who was currently in an extremely abnormal state.

“It’s time for you and your soul pets to say goodbye!!” Suddenly, Chu Mu stared at Ling He and Pan Zheng, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp!

“ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Just as Chu Mu’s voice fell, a roar resounded throughout the mountain ridge!!

This roar shook the mountain, causing countless rocks to roll down from the heights and even echoing throughout the entire sky!!

It was Zhan Ye’s roar, and also the roar of a Peak Monarch!!

Not long ago, it had annihilated a quarter of the abyss’s Thousand-leg Centipedes, and at this moment, those assassin’s soul pets were not even considered as scraps in its eyes!!
