The Charm of Soul Pets (WN)
chapter-1565

Not long ago, the entire New Moon Palace was still frowning over how they could defend against the alliance from eight major factions. Everyone was also worried about the survival of New Moon Land.

At this moment, everyone was still frowning during New Moon Palace’s conference hall.

This time, it was not the final discussion related to New Moon Land’s survival, but the action taken by their King Chu completely taking them by surprise.

Human leader, Wupan Navy’s vice chief Tie Jun......

It was already a feat for defeating Wupan Navy, he even captured such a leader alive. When this news was reported, New Moon Land’s leaders and elders could not believe their ears.

However, when Chu Mu dragged a high class Immortal rank Giant Tortoise Bixi and a furious man back to Wanxiang City, this unbelievable news became the truth.

Then, what everyone should be considering was the place that would produce the best deterrence effect when executing Wupan Navy’s vice chief Tie Jun.

Some also tried to persuade him that they should not kill a human leader. This might bring about the subjugation from the two royalties.

Unfortunately, Chu Mu was already determined to kill!

On one hand, Chu Mu did not forget the heart-tearing pain and rage Wupan Navy’s chief gave him at Imprint Valley. On the other hand, New Moon Land had no need to lower themselves towards any faction after attaining victory at both battlefields. Executing leader rank Tie Jun was to make a declaration to all factions. This is to prevent any random faction daring to come to New Moon Land to reap a profit!

New Moon Land’s king was Chu Mu. The person who turned the situation of the war around was also Chu Mu. Although Chu Mu rarely showed up and performed his duty as the king, the entire New Moon Land regarded him as the highest faith. If he ordered to kill, the entire New Moon Land would cheer for him, not a single person would object!

......

The war continued, the flames of war burned in every part of New Moon Land’s border.

There were also many factions which invaded New Moon Land spreading the flame into New Moon Land’s cities......

Every day, different scales of confrontation occurred in different regions. The eight major factions did not give up on New Moon Land despite suffering defeat in the two crucial wars.

Unfortunately, apart from venting their anger in some New Moon Land’s cities, they did not gain any achievements afterwards. Their fighting force was constantly depleting instead.

Time passed by unknowingly. Three months had gone by, the season changed from new spring to summer. The flames of war gradually extinguished.

......

“Chu Mu, Chu Mu, they are asking for negotiation!”

Chao Lengchuan hurried to Chu Mu’s yard and informed Chu Mu of this news.

Chu Mu rarely attended meetings. Most news was directly passed to him from Liu Binglan.

This time, Chao Lengchuan probably could not hold back his excitement and run out of the meeting to tell Chu Mu of this news first.

“Oh? Do they want a ceasefire or what?” asked Chu Mu as he calmly stroked Zhan Ye’s cold armor.

“It’s definitely a ceasefire. What resources do they have to continue fighting? Over half of the 400,000 at Eastern Wild Forest Stronghold were finished off by us. The 200,000 reinforcement added later on only left 50,000 now. Their fighting force probably only has one quarter left.”

“After Wupan Navy lost over 90,000, with their vice chief in our hands, they at most gathered 30,000 at Crown Ocean to make a bluff. They never truly tried to sail into Dark Sky Ocean. Those small factions which invaded our New Moon Land originally possessed some threat, but they retreated one by one later on for some reason......” listed Chao Lengchuan quickly.

“I made Yu Suo destroy the cities of those subordinate factions which barged into our New Moon Land,” said Chu Mu.

“Destroyed??” Chao Lengchuan was startled.

That explained why those small factions escaped out of New Moon Land like losers. Yu Suo actually uprooted their foundations.

If considering cruelty, Chao Lengchuan personally experienced Evil Good Queen’s methods. He could imagine those small factions regretting their lives after seeing the rubbles and corpses after returning.

“Is this the reason they are asking for a negotiation?” asked Chao Lengchuan.

“More or less. Yu Suo’s Invisible Kingdom is beginning to surface. This faction destroyed the base of those small factions which invaded New Moon Land. Then, they began infiltrating into the sections of those eight major factions using the chance they mobilized their fighting forces to our New Moon Land. There are probably several tens of thousands of fighting forces left for the subjugation alliance. However, they do not dare to continue fighting now and ask for a negotiation. It’s probably because their backyard is on fire,” said Chu Mu.

“I see. No wonder these factions actually chose such a humiliating method,” Chao Lengchuan realized the truth.

This war was directed by the royalties and participated by the various sects within the eight factions. However, the end result seemed to be controlled by these two people.

Chu Mu repelled the Gate Master level people from various factions with his strength and even defeated a leader.

Nightmare army, Flower Demon army and Ocean Species army, these three factions which did not belong to the human faction nailed in the foundation stone of protection for the entire New Moon Land. They caused the eight factions unable to progress after such a long time.

While the enemies were invested in this war, Yu Suo’s Invisible Kingdom was rapidly expanding. It changed from originally scattering the seeds in different factions to directly snatching the authority of these defeated sects within the eight factions......

This commotion in their backyard forced the eight major factions to stop their war earlier. If they continued, not only would they not obtain the resources they wanted, they might even lose everything they owned!

Hence, when Chao Lengchuan excitedly ran over to Chu Mu’s place to tell him this news, he was not surprised at all.

Actually, when Ocean Species protected the entire ocean region of New Moon Land, when Nightmare army joined the war, when Flower Demon Kingdom spread throughout the various cities in New Moon Land, the eight faction subjugation alliance should have realized that they were not facing a single New Moon Land. They were facing the alliance of East Ocean Ocean Species, Nightmare Dynasty, Flower Demon Kingdom and New Moon Palace!

“Then, should we agree to negotiate with them?” Chao Lengchuan looked at Chu Mu, feeling that Chu Mu was becoming more and more like a king.

Perhaps this was how it would be like when one’s strength reached a certain level. After all, there were only those few who reached leader rank in the entire human territory.

“Agree,” said Chu Mu.

......

Negotiation only existed between two factions of similar strength. If the two factions were different in strength, it could not be called negotiation, but a single-sided declaration.

When the subjugation alliance and King Chu Mu started the negotiation, the entire Zhengming Continent and Wupan Continent were shocked by this news.

Nobody had expected a tiny independent territory to survive until now after getting attacked by eight major factions repeatedly. This tiny independent territory even possessed enough strength to negotiate with the subjugation alliance after fighting so long.

If someone said this before the war, everyone would treat that person as a lunatic.

However, this had become a fact. No matter how the subjugation alliance tried to seal the news, it would still leak out.

The war negotiation was arranged to be held at a temporary stronghold below Cloud Gate. This stronghold was built by Cloud Realm. Some people joked that this stronghold was built to prevent New Moon Land from counterattacking Cloud Realm.

If some joked, some would believe...... The two sides already entered the negotiation stage. Who could guarantee that the furious New Moon Land would not counterattack??

Since it was a negotiation, the fighting forces from both sides would naturally follow. However, a certain distance was also kept.

There were not many people participating in the negotiation, just Chu Mu, Chao Lengchuan and Liu Binglan.

It was unknown how many people the other side would send yet.

Chu Mu’s current strength was very strong. Even if the other side sent a leader rank person, Chu Mu could escape without problem. So he was not worried that the other side would play a trick.

......

Heavenly Mountain remained chilling even in summer.

The raging wind blew past the high plains, flowing past Chu Mu, Chao Lengchuan and Liu Binglan.

The three of them waited at the designated area for a while. Four people came out from Cloud Realm’s stronghold.

Chu Mu recognized those four. Divine Sect’s Gate Master Han Yan, Wupan Navy’s tactician Ning An, Fire Sect’s Madam Huo and Divine Sect’s Sect Master Xiao.

Divine Sect’s Sect Master Xiao showed up probably to appease both sides. After all, Sect Master Xiao already stopped interfering worldly matters. Be it wars, conflicts or benefits, they were unrelated to him. Unless Divine Sect faced destruction, he would not interfere in any matter.

Divine Sect’s Discipline Palace was just a sect of Divine Sect. Even if this sect was annihilated, it was none of Sect Master Xiao’s concern.

The other three were probably representatives chosen by eight factions to negotiate, as well as the chief commanders of the subjugation alliance.

Chu Mu watched the three and sneered. Black flame sparked off on his palm.

The black flame danced in Chu Mu’s palm. It seemed as if it would fly out any moment, causing Han Yan, Ning An and Madam Huo to turn pale in fear!

“Chu Mu, what are you doing? You agreed to negotiate, are you going to kill us??” said Han Yan in panic.

The other two immediately turned towards Sect Master Xiao.

Now, everyone knew that New Moon Land’s King Chu was a Half Human. His fighting strength reached high class Immortal rank during the war. Furthermore, he also gained an Undying Legend —— Yellow Spring which defeated Tie Jun at Dark Sky Ocean.

Chu Mu was completely on the blacklist of dangerous individual ranking. Madam Huo and Han Yan even trembled when seeing Chu Mu.

“Chu Mu, please calm down and listen to what they want to say first,” said Old Sect Master Xiao peacefully.

“Those three cannot even take on one attack from me, what qualification do they have to negotiate with me?” Chu Mu played with the black flame on his palm, as if he would throw it out any moment.

Old Sect Master Xiao took a glance at the three trembling people and nodded seriously, “That’s true.”

Madam Huo, Ning An and Han Yan wanted to cry after hearing Old Sect Master Xiao’s words. Those words were too humiliating when spoken right in front of them!

Gate Master rank?

Would Chu Mu still need to be concerned about Gate Master rank now?

Chu Mu’s intention was clear. Let those few hypocritical leaders come to negotiate!
