The Charm of Soul Pets (WN)

The surrounding space slowly became illusory. These memory fragments would intermittently appear and intermittently blur out.

After her rebirth, her destiny intersected with Chu Mu.

Her soul became linked with Chu Mu. Perhaps the soul pact was supposed to give her a companion so she wouldn’t be lonely. However, she had turned her back on him and made an enemy.

For a long time after, Chu Mu fell into a state where it was difficult for his soul remembrance to rise. On the other hand, the Evil Good Queen embarked upon a long and arduous path of revenge.

Anyone from Chu Mu’s perspective would view Yu Suo as a madwoman when they saw what she did. They would also think she had a serious delusional disorder.

However, when he finally saw everything from a different perspective, Chu Mu couldn’t help but forgive her defection.

In the subsequent memories, Chu Mu saw the place where she laid the formation. It was just as he guessed. Yu Suo had been implementing this plan for a long, long time...

The memories were all fragments. Some were unforgettable and some were like wisps of smoke that floated past.

Suddenly, Chu Mu clenched onto the Monument Tear, and withdrew his consciousness from the tear’s memories.

Chu Mu left at the right time. It was the period of Yu Suo’s memories when she took them to Heaven Palace.

The Monument Tear had been formed at that moment. It had probably been an unforgettable moment, but Chu Mu didn’t want to watch it. And he was even more unwilling to let Princess Jinrou watch it.

There were many things that Chu Mu would be candid about. But there were other things where he need not be so candid. He didn’t want to and she didn’t want to either.

“Chu Mu?” Princess Jinrou really wanted to know what had happened between Chu Mu and Yu Suo in Heaven Palace. Why had their soul pact split?

After the soul pact rupture, Princess Jinrou could feel that Chu Mu and Yu Suo had both suffered heavy wounds on their souls.

“Chu Mu, those Guardian Palace Divine Generals have already landed in our world. Are you still unwilling to help her?” said Princess Jinrou.

“Why don’t you return to Northern Territory first,” Chu Mu said to Princess Jinrou.

“What is it?” Princess Jinrou asked, confused.

“That place isn’t safe,” said Chu Mu.

Princess Jinrou said: “You know where Yu Suo’s stealing formation is?”

“Ya.” Chu Mu nodded his head and looked eastward.

The sky was completely dark. Nothing could be seen.

The solar eclipse was accompanied by fear. Nobody knew what would haunt this pitch-black world, nor did they know what creature was roaming around.

“Then… then you be careful.” Princess Jinrou didn’t inquire further.

She stood on her tiptoes and kissed the corner of Chu Mu’s lips. Her body transformed into a spectral blue light that flew to the Northern Territory.

After Princess Jinrou left, Chu Mu glanced at where the Second Heaven Boundary Monument was.

There were still no signs of movement from the Ancient Flood Dragon person. Chu Mu jumped onto the Dead Dream and flew towards Zhengming Main City.

……

It would require some time to reach Zhengming Main City. Chu Mu also didn’t know if he would arrive there before the Guardian Divine Generals.

However, Yu Suo probably had ample preparations.

En route to Zhengming Main City, Chu Mu saw countless nocturnal creatures appearing on the land.

These were creatures that shouldn’t have appeared. They normally walked in the darkness. They were plague soul pets, dark type soul pets, phantoms, corpses and specters…

The advent of the solar eclipse had filled the world with an evil energy and thrown the world into fear.

Every city tried to light as many lights as they could to no avail. The places where light could shine were extremely limited. In fact, some people were even able to see strange creatures roaming the darkness on certain ancient streets.

Zhengming Continent had become abnormal. And behind this abnormalness was inevitably hidden some terrifying thing.

Just as Old Li had guessed, a few hidden dangers created in the last ten or so years had immediately erupted during that instance of the solar eclipse. Life forms mysteriously died, plagues began to rapidly pervade areas and everywhere one went, it was possible to see corpses littering the ground…

It was obvious that no war had broken out; there was no smoke from war. However, it looked more chaotic and miserable than the aftermath of a war.

Chu Mu glanced at the distant horizon. He saw divine lights rapidly falling from the stars like meteor shower.

From their flying trajectory, they were probably the Divine Generals coming from Heaven Palace’s Guardian Palace.

……

Zhengming City had become empty during the solar eclipse.

The city of people had dispersed to surrounding cities and this order had been given about a month ago.

In this one month, people left Zhengming Main City one after the other. And when the solar eclipse arrived, the rest of the city migrated, just like the one that happened in Wanxiang City. The city became empty.

There were no lights in the city. It was impossible to see one’s fingers if one were to stretch his or her hand out.

At the very center of the city, enormous Evil Good Flower Demons swayed in place while large flower petals, that resembled the treetops of big heavenly trees, bloomed.

Torrential amounts of evil energy and thick holy energy simultaneously drifted around Zhengming Main City’s enormous beast statues, springs, flowerbeds, inscribed steles and sculptures.

There were countless shattered crystals lying on the ground like grains of sand. Even in the darkness, they still illuminated a resplendent light!

There was a huge number of these crystals and they were all high ranking crystals. Even if the eight great factions emptied out their treasuries, they may not even be able to produce tens of thousands of energy crystals at once.

Each energy crystal was enough to make a diligently training soul pe trainer pay a huge price to obtain one. There were monarch, emperor, dominator and immortal rank crystals of different attributes and a variety of colors…

If there were any soul pet trainers remaining in the city, they would immediately go crazy once they saw the sea of crystals lying on the ground.

Unfortunately, there was no one in the city.

Zhengming Main City was in one person’s control. When she told everyone that Zhengming Main City was about to face a solar eclipse crisis, nobody questioned her. Whether it was the residents or the factions that had deep roots in Zhengming Main City, they brought their belongings and temporarily fled to surrounding cities.

Even if there was someone who didn’t believe, she had the means of forcibly expelling these disbelievers.

But the fact of the matter was that the crisis had truly arrived.

The people that had temporarily left Zhengming Main City clearly saw scorching flames falling from the sky…

Within these flames were enormous figures. They covered the sky and were dropping to Zhengming Main City.

“Hong hong hong!!!!!!”

Loud echoes rang out when the meteors smashed into the city. A piercing light prevented the people in the surrounding cities from opening their eyes.

The world was pitch-black and they couldn’t see anything. And even when the destructive light and scorching flames shone, they were still unable to see anything. All they knew was that Zhengming Main City had been struck by a large group of meteorites.

……

A number of wild dragons with large wings haughtily stood in the craters smashed in the city. On the backs of these dragons were mighty Guardian Palace members wearing white armor and with a cold and arrogant look in their eyes.

“How courageous. There’s someone who set up a stealing formation in Zhengming Main City!” on an azure empyrean dragon’s back, a man wearing a commander’s armor coldly sneered.

Heaven Palace Empyrean Dragon, Heaven Palace Star Dragon, Heaven Palace Dark Dragon. These three large dragons were symbols of Heaven Palace’s three guardian commanders.

The Empyrean Dragon was the symbol of Guardian Palace’s Guardian Commander Tao Gu. The Star Dragon represented Totem Palace’s Guardian Commander Qin Ji. The Dark Dragon belonged to Wheel Palace’s Guardian Commander Rong Fen.

All three of these famous Guardian Commanders had appeared. The Empyrean Dragon, the Star Dragon and the Dark Dragon that they were riding on respectively appeared in a triangle formation around the city center. They left enormous craters in their wake when they stepped through the city.

Behind each of the three Guardian Commanders were a thousand guardian army members from Totem Palace!

In the mortal world, the dragon species were relatively rare creatures. It was not often that one could see a pack of them appear.

The lowest ranked subspecies of the Dragon species was the monarch rank. Many soul pet trainers saw dragons as their most yearned for soul pet.

And right now, behind the three Guardian Commanders were over at thousand dragons!

Dragons had enormous bodies. Each one of them was comparable to the largest buildings in a city. When three thousand large dragons landed on or floated right above the city center, it formed a stunning scene.

Some dragons were several hundred meters large. This was essentially a living mountain smashing into the city. When these streaks of flames through the night sky and it was possible to see their fierce and enormous figures, it was frightening.

“What happened? Why is there not a single person?” Qin Ji stood on the Star Dragon and swept his gaze over the city.

The pack of dragons rapidly surrounded Zhengming Main City’s center. However, in the plaza that was filled with energy crystals, they didn't’ see anyone.

Suddenly, a strange laughter rang out from the darkness.

At the very center of the crystal formation appeared a woman wearing a thin black veil and thin black muslin dress.

Yet, despite facing countless dragons from Heaven Palace, the woman laughed without restraint. She seemed to have expected them to come and was standing there to greet them.

“Evil woman. This stealing solar eclipse formation is a crime that can throw you into hell for tens of millions of years.” Qin Ji angrily pointed at the wantonly laughing woman.

The pack of dragons pressed forwards. Heaven Palace’s Solar Eclipse Formation’s energy was rapidly slipping away right now. However, strangely, even the Totem Maidens in the group were unable to break through the stealing formation set up by this evil woman.

It was hard to imagine who would have such a formation ability that surpassed the strongest Totem Maidens. If they didn’t stop this woman and seize her in time, the effects would be even more terrifying.

……

The moment the dragon pack appeared in Zhengming Main City, Chu Mu also happened to arrive.

He saw you Suo standing on the dragon back, covered in black muslin, and laughing. The Chu Mu of the past would have been unable to understand her insanity, but upon remembering Yu Qie’s mummy of a corpse, Chu Mu suddenly felt that the laughter was infinitely dismal.

She had waited a long time for this day.
