Chapter 3551 An Empty City

The monkey chief was in fright, as if he'd just come close to a ghost.

At this point, the monkey had no other choice. No one had asked him to keep a secret anyway.

In order to survive, the monkey didn't hesitate for too long. "I can tell you. But you must let me go. Alive," he said.

"I promise you." Zen nodded in agreement.

"And how about... How about her?" the monkey asked, pointing at Elvinia.

Elvinia saw this and nodded her head in approval, then the monkey let out a sigh before continuing to speak. "A few days ago, there were two human women passing here," he said very carefully. "But they were escorted by the Coldness Monkey Guards."

"What is the Coldness Monkey Guard?" Zen questioned.

"They are the elites of our race and guard the Chief Flag Monkey," the monkey continued. "The Chief Flag Monkey is the commander in chief of the Royal Monkey race in Stage Fourteen. At first, I, too, was curious as to why they brought two human Souls of Light back..."

The monkey went on to tell Zen everything he knew. He even pointed out the location of the Coldness Monkey Guards after asking Zen to take out a map from his pocket.

"Mercer," Zen called out. He had everything he needed.

Mercer, who was riding on a Holy Beetle, gradually flew to Zen and cupped his hands towards him. "Kill him," Zen ordered, pointing at the monkey.

The monkey's eyes widened in shock. What just happened? "You...you promised me!" he screeched.

"Yes, I did." Zen smiled. "But he didn't promise you." After his last word, he jumped down from the pass with Elvinia following right behind him.

Mercer, on the other hand, was stunned to have been given such an order. But because he was loyal to Zen, he was going to do it either way.

The Royal Monkey had no escape. No matter how powerful he was, he was trapped by the light awls fixed on his limbs. Just like that, he was at the disposal of Mercer.

After thinking for a moment, Mercer reached into his pocket. From here, he took out several black bugs, which struck terror into the monkey immediately. He knew exactly what they were.

These bugs were known as the blood devouring bugs. Just as their name implied, they would drill themselves into the host's body, multiply instantly, and suck every drop of bloo

gh to go against anyone.

Apparently, after getting beaten up by the Royal Monkeys, it was hung upside down and left behind there.

"They didn't kill me though," the spirit pointed out. "I'm supposedly the bait that would lure you here."

Zen nodded, acknowledging this. After all, the needles were already an attempt to kill him. "But why are all the Royal Monkeys gone?"

"The monkeys mentioned that they could not defeat you because you have a purified being," the spirit explained. "They also said that if you two are looking for the human woman's Soul of Light, you'd find them there." It gestured out, pointing towards a corner in the building.

Across the wall was a poorly drawn map. The place they had to go to was clearly marked.

Analyzing the map, Zen let out a heavy sigh of relief. He then turned towards Elvinia and smiled. "A few days ago, your light had eroded an area of the Dark Region," he said. "I think you've frightened these monkeys! They retreated without us even doing anything!" Zen chuckled.

This was true. In fact, Elvinia could easily kill the entire Royal Monkey race in a rage. At least now, they had gone before she could do anything.

"So what? They can't hide forever," said Elvinia expressionlessly.

"True. But one creature from the Dark Region is not afraid of the Great Sanskrit Light," Zen added.

Just then, everything clicked in Elvinia's mind. Her face froze and her voice lowered. "Their goal is to lure us into facing the purified being of Stage Fourteen."
