Chapter 1391 1254 Road of Huangquan Guardian The

Chapter 1391: Chapter 1254: Road of Huangquan: Guardian, The Other Side Chapter 1391: Chapter 1254: Road of Huangquan: Guardian, The Other Side Within the pitch-black interior of the cliff, a group clad in white armor methodically ascended the rising terrain.

Their numbers were around five thousand, and each person’s expression was somber, their eyes constantly vigilant, scanning the surroundings.

“Great Leader,” the Grand Strategist spoke in a low voice, “regarding Zhao De’s affair…”

“Hmph, I’ve been wanting to clear that guy out of my army for a long time. Don’t think I don’t know about the things he’s been doing behind my back,” Great Leader Xu Kuang snorted coldly, glancing back at the few surviving soldiers who had escaped from Zhao De’s Marine Corps.

Following the Great Leader were two leaders, one of whom was a woman. Her attire was somewhat revealing, her upper body barely covered by a leather armor that wrapped around her full bust, exposing her wheat-colored slender arms and abdomen.

Her lower body was sheathed in tight black leather pants that hugged her hips and thighs without a single wrinkle, perfectly outlining her tempting figure.

The female leader, hearing the conversation between Military Advisor Huang Meng and Great Leader Xu Kuang, coquettishly smiled and said, “As for Zhao De’s eyes, I’ve long wanted to gouge them out and attach them to my body, so he could get his fill of looking.”

Seeing both the Great Leader and the leader indifferent towards Zhao De’s death, Advisor Huang Meng also felt quite helpless.

He knew Xu Kuang and Hai Que both had serious doubts about Zhao De’s character. Though Zhao De was just a junior Hai Tong, his death might not matter as much, but the slaughter of his three thousand elite troops down to just five or six hundred was a severe provocation to the dignity of the Third Navy Corps. After all, on the Wupan Continent, killing any member of the Wupan Navy was a grave crime!

“The Navy is indeed strong, but there are countless strong ones roaming the world. Did Zhao De fill his brain with women’s breasts? Better for such a person to die, so he doesn’t plague my Third Corps,” Great Leader Xu Kuang said with a trace of malice in his tone. He paused, calming his inner fury before continuing, “But those other sailors are all my subordinates in the Third Navy Corps, and I will seek justice for their lives!”

“But we don’t even know who they are,” the female leader Hai Que said.

“They must have also come for this second Demon Tomb. If we follow this terrain, we are bound to encounter them,” Military Advisor Huang Meng stated.

“How can you be so sure?” Female Leader Hai Que asked puzzledly.

“The Demon Tomb cliff is vast, mostly composed of solid rock. The path we are traversing is an upward and forward trend, and at other cliff locations, there are many similar paths, all heading upwards too. It’s as if countless streams will eventually converge into one river,” Advisor Huang Meng explained.

Huang Meng had received some information about the Demon Tomb from an old Venerable before coming, hence his familiarity with the cliff’s interior.

“The path we’re on is just a small branch? But the guardians we’ve encountered along the way are already quite strong,” another leader, Tie Bing, couldn’t help but interject.

“These are just the lesser guardians. After we pass another grave mound, we’ll enter the Yellow Springs’ Path of the second Demon Tomb. The guardians on the Yellow Springs’ Path are few in number, but they do not care about the number of intruders,” Advisor Huang Meng said.

“Yellow Springs’ Path? Is that related to the ‘Huangquan’ from the legend of the Undying?” Female Leader Hai Que said in surprise.

“That, I’m not too clear about. If indeed a Huangquan is guarding the Yellow Springs’ Path, let’s just hope it hasn’t reached Tenth Rank,” Advisor Huang Meng spoke.

The five great legends of the Undying, which one is not extremely powerful? Reaching Tenth Rank, within the Dominator level, there would be very few who could match them!

“Advisor, how many guardians are on the Yellow Springs’ Path and what are their strengths?” the female leader, Hai Que, inquired.

“There are four. They are known as ‘The Other Side,’ ‘San Tu,’ ‘Wangchuan,’ and ‘Huangquan,'” Military Advisor Huang Meng stated.

“According to the records on each stone tablet, the oldest guardian of this path is the one known as ‘The Other Side’—the Other Side Flower Maiden—followed by ‘San Tu,’ the Water Demon, ‘Wangchuan,’ the Water Beast, and a true ‘Huangquan.'”

Leader Tie Bing bitterly smiled and said, “A true…Huangquan…this is really our Road of Huangquan.”

“What I mentioned are the oldest guardians. Now, it’s not those four creatures guarding it anymore. However, our discreet texts about the four Huangquans based on the beast of Huangquan did originate from there,” the Grand Strategist adjusted his medium length beard.

“So, what’s guarding it now?” Hai Que asked, her curiosity piqued.

“Who knows? Whenever the guardians are defeated or killed, new ones immediately take their places. That’s the rule set by the Demon Tomb Inner Island, but their strength should not exceed the Dominator level,” Military Advisor Huang Meng said.

“Enough with the mystic mumbo-jumbo; regardless of what’s guarding it, we have to seize the Demon Crown!” Great Leader Xu Kuang spoke unconcernedly, “Everyone behind me, move faster, you’re too slow. I’ve been too lenient on you normally. If you don’t pick up the pace, we’ll double the training intensity when we get back!”

With the Great Leader’s shout, the long trailing queue indeed sped up considerably.

Seeing the effect, Great Leader Xu Kuang couldn’t help but curse, “This lazy bunch just needs to be whipped!”

…

The purple flames illuminated the path ahead, yet they revealed only rugged, icy rocks.

Gradually, the path widened, and an even, flat road lay before Chu Mu and his companions.

The space on both sides opened up, with underground waterfalls and rivers gushing alongside the vast road. Countless flames clung to the walls; there must have been hundreds, but still not enough to light up everything in this place.

Chu Mu swept his gaze around, noticing that in addition to their current path, there were many side roads joining this wide and dim stone road.

This spacious underground road gently rose, and although it was illuminated by flames in the distance, visibility only extended a couple of kilometers; the rest was engulfed in darkness.

The five people marched along this straight, wide road, and faintly, in the road’s very center, a massive shadow loomed!

“`

A dark silhouette loomed, a hundred meters tall, cold and solitary!

As everyone slowly approached, they realized this shadow wasn’t any creature but a stone stele towering on the path!

“Huangquan Road!”

Princess Jinrou exclaimed upon seeing the words on the stone tablet.

“Previously we were walking with death, and now it’s Huangquan Road. Could this path lead to the Netherworld Palace? Are we already lost souls and wild ghosts?” Morning Crown Prince said.

“Chu Mu, your Soul Pet really has a knack for getting around, huh? We’ve even made it to a place like this?” Sang Ying said with a tremor in her voice.

“We’re close…” Chu Mu muttered to himself.

Having spoken, Chu Mu had already stepped forward, passing directly through the awe-inspiring stone stele and onto Huangquan Road that truly gave one the feeling of walking alongside death.

Princess Jinrou, clutching her Little Ice Fox, quickly caught up with Chu Mu, her bright eyes fixed ahead.

Being a ghost herself, she could see further into the distance. Everything here seemed so bizarre, and she had to be on high alert.

“There are energy fluctuations ahead,” Princess Jinrou said.

Chu Mu’s pace did not stop, but his speed did slow down.

Continuing forward for an extensive distance, Chu Mu gradually heard collisions, and at times the cave would shake violently.

“It must be some Demon Spirit making its way through Huangquan Road,” Chu Mu guessed.

The sounds of battle drew closer, but just as they approached the battlefield, another stone tablet stood in their way.

“The Other Side!” Princess Jinrou read the inscription aloud.

Morning Crown Prince, Xia Zhixian, and Sang Ying all had strange expressions on their faces. This layout could only evoke thoughts of death…

“It’s not just one Demon Spirit ahead; it’s a large group of people,” Chu Mu said in a calm voice.

Princess Jinrou walked past the stone tablet to look ahead and immediately noticed a large group of uniformly dressed and familiar people.

“It’s the Wupan Navy!” Princess Jinrou said in surprise.

Chu Mu frowned and said, “That must be the group I encountered in the first Demon Tomb. These people are even stronger.”

“What should we do now?” Sang Ying asked.

“Let’s just watch first,” Chu Mu said.

The five of them made sure to stay hidden as they quietly approached the area guarded by The Other Side.

Through the darkness, the road of Huangquan was already dominated by numerous Soul Pets. They had formed multiple teams: Elemental, Winged System, Beast type, Plant Fortress, Water Beast.

Five thousand elite sailors of the navy were continuously unleashing skills, frantically attacking a creature of incredible speed!

That creature was so fast that it would disappear each time the Emperor Level teams launched an attack.

“Swish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

A dark gleam flashed, accompanied by a splash of dazzling fresh blood!

In the Mad Beasts team, the bodies of more than three hundred Beast Soul Pets were cleaved in two, their corpses falling in perfect unison!

Blood swirled down the slope of Huangquan Road, which instantly turned into a river of Huangquan flowing with blood.

“What a strong Demon Spirit!!” Chu Mu and the others watching from a distance were all deeply moved by this sight.

Chu Mu would have to utilize his strongest Evil Tomb Skills to instantly kill two or three hundred Emperors, yet that Demon Spirit, while dodging a dense barrage of skills, casually made a swipe, turning three hundred Beast Emperors into corpses!!

This strength had definitely surpassed the scope of a High-level Master!

“That is the guardian of this stretch of Huangquan Road, which can be called ‘The Other Side’. One must defeat it to continue onward,” Princess Jinrou said.

“The Other Side!” Chu Mu repeated the title, his gaze unflinchingly fixed on the figure weaving through the chaos of battle, his heart stirring with upheaval!
