Chapter 3550 The Splendid Jade Pass

To the west of the Dark Region was the Splendid Jade Mountain, and within it was a mountain pass.

Behind the pass was the Royal Monkey race's territory.

It was naturally impossible for the Insect Masters to get through this smoothly.

Ten miles away from the pass, Mercer ordered the Holy Beetles to land in a forest. He turned to the others with a serious expression on his face.

"There should be Royal Monkeys stationed at the pass. I'll send a spy bug to check it out," he said, opening his pocket where a bug flew out.

This bug was the same size as a mosquito and was as light as dust, making it incredibly difficult to spot with the naked eye.

Mercer and Miller were no good at fighting. This was the only way they could help Zen. Just as the bug was about to fly away though, Zen shook his head.

"There's no need." Mercer frowned. "Why not?"

His question went unanswered as Zen turned his attention to Elvinia. "Follow me," he told her.

The Shape-shifting Spirit had gone far. They both felt it, which meant that the Royal Monkeys' destination was far away from the pass.

They had to be extremely careful around these black monkeys. Yan was still in their hands after all.

Unfortunately, they had to kill the group of black monkeys they encountered earlier, and it was only going to be a matter of time before the other monkeys found out. It was currently a race against time.

'So many Royal Monkeys...' Mercer thought to himself.

Then again he remembered how Elvinia had killed those Ghost Wing Birds before, so maybe a few monkeys weren't going to be a problem.

The pass was currently being guarded by patrolling Royal Monkeys.

This was the only entrance to their race's territory, and thus, the security here was top notch and extremely strict. What was more, there had been a rise in the number of Royal Monkeys sent here.

It was already well-guarded but the number of additional patrolmen somehow made the leader of the pass a bit uneasy.

There was no way more Royal Monkeys were sent here to guard the pass for no reason. He wasn't dumb. Trouble was surely afoot for their race!

Could it be the one-eyed creatures from before?

A couple of years ago, these one-eyed creatures descended upon their

reason but there was none.

Terrified by what he had just witnessed, the monkey chief stood up and poised to run away.

Unfortunately, Zen wasn't going to let him go so easily. The only reason he was kept alive was to provide valuable information.

Just as the monkey chief was about to run away, Zen pulled out the javelin he had been sitting on and flew towards his prey. The stick at the end of the javelin hit the chief, hard.

"I want to know something," Zen muttered dangerously as he pinned the chief on the wall.

"As far as I know, you kidnapped the Soul of Light of a human girl."

The monkey chief's eyes flashed knowingly. It was as he had thought. The human was here because of the two girls.

"I-I just..." the monkey chief stuttered, still in a bit of a shock from the entire ordeal. Just as he spoke, dozens of thin light awls descended from above and nailed themselves on his feet, legs, shoulders, wrists, and chest.

On the other side of the city wall was a human woman's figure, the source of these thin light awls.

"The light of the purified being came from this woman," the chief muttered. He was completely restrained by the awls and the slightest movements could end up with him getting cut into pieces.

"You want to live? Then tell me what I want to know, or else you'll end up like them," Zen threatened, nodding his head at the void.

If the chief didn't comply, he'd end up being obliterated by the Great Sanskrit Light, just like the rest of his race.
