“All of you come out. It was such a bloody scene, yet you were able to stand still watching it!” Xu Kuang pointed at Chu Mu and the other and spoke with a calm tone.

When the reorganized navy members looked at where he was pointing, there were a few of the navy members whose faces instantly turned frightened when they saw these five people.

“It’s… it’s them… it’s them!”

“It’s them who killed Ocean Commander Zhao De… it… it’s them!!” a navy soldier hastily ran up to Xu Kuang and frantically spoke up.

The navy members were instantly restless and they stared at the five people hiding in the distance.

If they were able to annihilate the Zhao De’s 3000 members, these five people were strong. This was despite the fact that Zhao De’s 3000 members was weaker than their own legion.

“All of you shut up!” Xu Kuang’s single sentence shut up all the navy members.

Xu Kuang walked forwards towards Chu Mu and the others.

The two leaders, the military adviser, and the three lower status ocean commanders immediately followed behind him while the navy members resting on the Yellow Springs Path retreated to the sides.

“What have you come here for?” Big Leader Xu Kuang swept his gaze over the five people and spoke.

“I’ve come to find one of my soul pets that failed its challenge here.” Chu Mu didn’t hide his intentions.

“Oh, that’s good. Our interests don’t conflict. You will be our external help.” Big Leader Xu Kuang nodded his head.

“You want to work with us? Your navy members recognize us.” Chu Mu could understand the intention behind Big Leader Xu Kuang’s words.

Xu Kuang was very strong, and Chu Mu wasn’t entirely confident he could beat him. Moreover, the people behind Xu Kuang were also very strong. If they truly fought, there would certainly be losses.

When an adjacent low status ocean commander heard Chu Mu’s words, his face instantly turned angry and he said: “Ridiculous, you killed so many of our navy members and have already become a wanted criminal by our 3rd Navy Legion. Just wait for your death!”

“You, shut up!” Xu Kuang coldly swept his gaze over the lower status ocean commander.

The lower status ocean commander shivered, and didn’t dare say anything more.

"Everyone knows that I’ve been planning on killing Zhao De, that vermin, for a while. I don’t care about Zhao De’s death. However, you killed many of our navy members so I will have to receive compensation for that.” said Xu Kuang.

The navy members instantly began to discuss amongst each other when they heard the big leader’s words.

Xu Kuang swept his eyes around him, and the navy members all lowered their heads, shutting up.

“I’ve received orders from the navy to obtain the demon crown on Yellow Springs Path. You also witnessed the fight just now. Paramita’s strength was astonishingly powerful. Next up there is still Three Roads, Forgotten Creek, and the strongest Yellow Springs. I think that we need to cooperate. Otherwise, we will all be destroyed before we even reach Yellow Springs.” said Big Leader Xu Kuang.

Xu Kuang stared at Chu Mu, as he knew he was the leader of the five people.

“Chu Mu, don’t trust him. There’s a high chance he could be tricking us and using this excuse to surround us to prevent us from escaping.” said Prince Chao.

Chu Mu looked at Princess Jinrou.

Princess Jinrou understood Chu Mu’s intentions, and she closed her eyes.

“This big leader isn’t lying. However, it’s difficult to say if he will change his decision later on.” Princess Jinrou used a mental voice to say to Chu Mu.

“This is the token of authority from the ninth division’s lord. As long as it’s a Wupan Navy Member he or she cannot attack the holder of the token.” an ocean colored token appeared in Xu Kuang’s hands.

When they saw this token, the surrounding navy members all stared with wide eyes. Even the two leaders and the military adviser were stunned.

They never expected Xu Kuang to bring take out the token directly given to him by the ocean lord.

“Take it. You can return it to me once you defeat Yellow Springs.” Xu Kuang casually tossed the ocean colored token to Chu Mu.

As the ocean colored token flew through the air, several thousand pairs of eyes all followed it because any Wupan Navy member understood how important the token was. Yet, their big leader had just given it to five strangers who were even wanted criminals by the navy!

Chu Mu accepted the token while the adjacent Sang Ying immediately came over, and looked with excitement at the token.

“Chu Mu, this is the genuine Ocean Lord Token. Those that possess the token have authority a rank lower than an ocean lord. Not only will the navy members not dare attack you, but you can even order the navy members with it. This token doesn’t rely on status; all that matters is who holds it!” Sang Ying’s face was full of shock.

Chu Mu himself was very astonished. Wasn’t this big leader too assured? He had just casually given away such a precious item!

“If you take the token right now and turn around to leave, nobody here, including me, will dare to stop me. However, my big brother’s temper is very violent and hates people without any honor the most. It doesn’t matter if you flee to the ends of the earth, he will still find you to interrogate you and then take back the token.” said Xu Kuang.

Chu Mu’s eyes fell on Princess Jinrou who faintly nodded her head, indicating that Xu Kuang was speaking the truth.

“Big leader… isn’t this too…” the adjacent Military Adviser Huang Mang wanted to cry.

Was there a big leader in this world more eccentric than Xu Kuang? Even if he gave them the token, what need was there to tell them that if they turned around and left right now, nobody would stop them!

On the other hand, leaders Hai Qie and Tie Bing didn’t feel anything was strange. Their Boss Xu had always done these types of strange things.

The navy members were all speechless, especially those that were initially Zhao De’s subordinates…

“Ok, let’s have a pleasant cooperation.” Chu Mu flipped over his hand and put the ocean lord rank token into his soul pet ring.

Xu Kuang nodded his head and continued: “Let’s talk about this first. In this cooperation, you will take your things and I will take my things. This doesn’t mean that your criminal charge has been expunged. Once you leave the island, you will still be wanted by my Wupan Navy!”

“That’s fine.” Chu Mu nodded his head.

All of the navy members wore strange expressions. They were about to cooperate with a group of people who committed a serious crime of killing a ocean commander and over 2000 navy members.

On Chu Mu’s side, Prince Chao, Xia Zhixian and Sang Ying were all very bewildered. What difference was there between working with an enemy and walking into a tiger’s den?

However, thinking about it again, the navy had a very eccentric big leader while Chu Mu himself wasn’t someone who did things according to convention. There would always be shared topics between an abnormal person and another abnormal person.

Once Big Leader Xu Kuang recruited Chu Mu and the others into the navy, Xi Zhixian was very good at adjusting. She firstly summoned her soul pets and healed the wounded navy members.

Xi Zhixian’s healing eased the atmosphere and Xu Kuang nodded his head, saying: “High ranking support soul pet trainers are nearly extinct. It’s rare that you have one. We will have a better chance in the subsequent fights…”

The navy legion didn’t even have a single dominator rank support soul pet trainer. Xia Zhixian’s appearance meant that wounded dominator rank soul pets would be able to recover fighting strength in a short period of time, including the heavily wounded Slaughter Devil Tiger.

“We have to take action ourselves for the next ‘Three Roads’. If we continue having the subordinates deal with it, we’ll probably only be left with one boat full of people to take us back.” said Ocean Commander Hai Qie.

“Brat, I heard from my underlings that it was you who killed Zhao De?” Xu Kuang didn’t avoid the topic and questioned Chao Lengchuan.

Chao Lengchuan nodded his head. Since the opponent was so direct, didn’t it make it embarrassing for him to admit it?

“Ocean Commander Yue and Ocean Commander Jiang, you will each lead ten ocean generals with Chao Lengchuan to be the vanguard. Leader Tie, watch the situation and if they are defeated too quickly, you will take action. Military Adviser, command the elemental team and once Leader Tie takes action, begin your attack.” said Xu Kuang.

Having witnessed Paramita’s strength, Xu Kuang didn’t dare lower his guard. He planned on using dominator rank soul pets to probe out the enemy before adjusting the legion’s strength.

Prince Chao didn’t have any objections, and the other two lower status ocean commanders nodded their heads in acknowledgement.

With a support type trainer like Xi Zhixian around them, the navy members were able to recover much faster. Xu Kuang had the military adviser do a count before leading the navy legion onwards down the Yellow Springs Path.

After a long while, an enormous black shadow gradually appeared in the dusk ahead.

“It’s the Three Roads Monument!” said the military adviser.

Xu Kuang looked at the black mass of people behind him and said: “Focus up. If any of your eyes move to Leader Hai Qie’s butt, you might die in the next instant!”

Xu Kuang was clearly teasing with his words and if it were in normal circumstances, the navy members would feel the mood relax and break out into a laugh.

However, in such a terrifying place, there wasn’t a single navy member who laughed.

Leader Hai Qie pursed her lips, inwardly berating Xu Kuang, this bastard, for not using another example.

Once past Three Roads Monument, Yellow Springs Path instantly darkened. Even the illumination from light type soul pets was unable to illuminate the path ahead.

Stepping past the monument meant they had entered the second guardian’s territory. Princess Jinrou closed her eyes, afraid that everyone would be hit by a sneak attack from Three Roads.

Princess Jinrou quickly sensed a powerful life force. However, what surprised her was that this creature wasn’t hiding. Instead, it was just standing right ahead of everyone on the Yellow Springs Path!

Its yellow eyes pierced the darkness and before anyone had discovered it, it was already watching for a long while this grand group of people had stepped onto the Yellow Springs Path.

Xu Kuang who was walking at the very front came to a sudden halt. His eyes stared like swords at the soul pet standing on the Yellow Springs Path. He was silently shocked that this demon’s courage wasn’t small!

Demons were innately creatures that mainly caught enemies off guard, launched sneak attacks and hid themselves. If a demon dared expose itself like this, it meant that the demon had enormous confidence in its strength!

“Three Roads!” Military Adviser Huang Mang stared at the second guardian.

The navy members all stared with eyes wide open, relying on the weak flames to see the creature.

However, the creature was enshrouded by a layer of shadow, preventing people from clearly seeing its full appearance.

A ghastly demonic aura swept forth, striking their faces, causing them to feel a sliver of cold!

This was Yellow Springs Path’s second guardian - Three Roads!
