Night had used its mental technique to forcibly remove the control mark the Ruthless Corpse General had on these departed spirits. 

After removing them, these departed spirits became masterless departed spirits. Thus, the creature they would prioritize the orders of wouldn’t be the Ruthless Corpse General, but instead Night with the departed spirit blood markings. 

The 3000 departed spirits began to berserkly surround the Ruthless Corpse General. The Ruthless Corpse General angrily brandished the corpse blade in its hand. However, there were too many departed spirits. Due to its size, it ultimately was still hit by various attacks. 

Big Leader Zhuo Qing had flown into a fit of rage. The was unable to understand the counter offensive from the departed spirits. The only thing he could do now was summon other high class dominator ranks to deal with these annoying corpses. 

Three high class dominator soul pets quickly appeared around Zhuo Qing. They jumped into the departed spirit group and began to wipe them out. 

Nonetheless, while Zhuo Qing was summoning his soul pets, Chu Mu’s Little Hidden Dragon and Devil Tree Battle Soldier had made their way over from the New Moon Navy. 

The pirates had already collapsed into disarray. What came next would only be chasing after them to kill. This didn’t require the participation of the Little Hidden Dragon and Devil Tree Battle Soldier. 

“Get rid of them.” said Chu Mu.

With the addition of the Little Hidden Dragon and the Devil Tree Battle Soldier, as well as those departed spirits controlled by Night, Zhuo Qing was still helpless after summoning those three high class dominator rank soul pets. 

Each one of Zhuo Qing’s soul pets were heavily wounded one after another. Even female pirate Chang Fei, who was hiding far away, saw that Zhuo Qing was inevitably going to lose; thus, she hastily summoned her soul pets and fled. 

“Little Hidden Dragon, capture her and her soul pets’ souls!” Chu Mu glanced at the fleeing female pirate leader and calmly spoke. 

A single pirate chieftain was worth several thousand xuan. How could Chu Mu so easily let them flee? Moreover, the Little Hidden Dragon could just swallow their souls, even human souls. 

After Chang Fei chose to flee, Big Leader Zhuo Qing was left groundless. 

Finally, he chanted an incantation and recalled the Ruthless Corpse General. He wanted to hop on the Calamity Spider Emperor to flee underground! 

Chu Mu had already expected this fellow would flee. He flicked his fingers and a soul flame ball came out that rapidly flew at the chanting Zhuo Qing. 

Zhuo Qing seemed to be on the brink of completing his incantation when he abruptly saw a silver devil flame shooting at him. Out of fright, he hastily dodged and his recall incantation was interrupted!

“Night. Kill the Ruthless Corpse General.” ordered Chu Mu.

As a demon, it naturally understood when it could deliver a fatal blow to its enemy.

The Ruthless Corpse General which had been left riddled with wounds by the large group of departed spirits and Devil Tree Battle Soldier looked brave and fierce. But in the eyes of a demon, this was the moment it was weakest because it was now full of openings now! 

Another unique demon figure appeared on Night’s body. This time, the demon figure attached itself to its white tail. 

“Sou!!”

Night instantly flew forth. Zhuo Qing was unable to clearly see Night’s movements.

"Pai!!!!!”

Demon Figure Tailwhip! 

A changing color lightning flashed by, fiercely smashing into the Ruthless Corpse General’s head! 

The Ruthless Corpse General hadn’t prepared any defenses at all. This technique instantly blew up its head! 

Brains and blood splattered as its head blew up. The area from the Ruthless Corpse General’s nose and up had all blown up. Its bloody appearance was horrifying. 

Corpse creatures didn’t have any vital parts, but if their head was blown to pieces, their strength would be greatly decreased. 

And departed spirit creatures could kill departed spirit creatures. The moment the Ruthless Corpse General collapsed, Night didn’t need to attack again. The hungry departed spirits began to eat the remaining bones of the Ruthless Corpse General!

“Eha!!!! Eha!!!!!!!!”

The hungry departed spirits obtained an opportunity to eat and they berserkly threw themselves onto the Ruthless Corpse General to eat!

Piece after piece of the Ruthless Corpse General was bitten off. In an instant, its ghastly white bones were exposed to air. 

Zhuo Qing who was standing on the Ruthless Corpse General’s shoulder had a white face out of fear. However, he was still decisive and chose to abandon his Ruthless Corpse General. He jumped onto the Calamity Spider Emperor and chose to flee. 

“Wu wu wu wu” 

A fox’s cry suddenly rang out. The sleeping and bored Mo Xie finally took action at this crucial moment. Its tail with extreme binding power had at some point extended up to near the Calamity Spider Emperor! 

Although the Calamity Spider Emperor’s body was as large as a flesh mountain, it didn’t have the advantage compared to Mo Xie’s enormous and long tails. 

The nine tails flew past like swimming dragons.The Calamity Spider Emperor wasn’t able to burrow itself underground before being locked up by Mo Xie’s Nine Tail Chain. 

When he saw the Nine Tail Chain, Big Leader Zhuo Qing felt despair. 

He never expected he would lose to people from New Moon Land and moreover lose so flawlessly. 

Chu Mu obviously wouldn’t give Zhuo Qing any chance of freeing himself. After having Mo Xie and Night kill all of Zhuo Qing’s soul pet, Zhuo Qing was like a puddle of mud; he didn’t even have the strength to stand up anymore. 

The feeling of having five souls wounded wasn’t easy to bear. 

After getting rid of Zhuo Qing, New Moon Navy was also nearly finished eradicating the pirates. 

Chu Mu walked towards New Moon Navy while lifting up Big Leader Zhuo Qing, leader of the Dark Ocean Pirates, with one hand. 

The entire eastern side of the island slowly descended into a quiet. Only the corpses on the ground gave evidence to the misery that had just occurred. 

Chu Mu swept his eyes over New Moon Navy and discovered that they hadn’t lost many people. He felt happy about that. 

Most of these people were from New Moon Land. Now, New Moon Land’s people had powerful strength. When he thought of how Zhuo Qing was contemptuously calling them an inferior species of humans, what did it matter if they were an inferior species? They would still ultimately become the most revered inferior species of humans in this world! 

When Chao Lengchuan and Sang Ying saw Chu Mu drag Pirate Leader Zhuo Qing over, their faces broke into smiles. 

“Zhuo Qing really is something. What can I say? Isn’t summoning a departed spirit creature in front of Yellow Springs of the Second Demonic Burial Mound the same as sending his head to us to retrieve the bounty?” joked Sang Ying. 

“Yup, we’ve got 30 thousand xuan on our hands now.” Chao Lengchuan nodded his head and glanced at Pang Yue whose expression wasn’t too good. He laughed: “You were too impulsive.” 

“How… how would I know Chu Mu would be so incredible.” Pang Yue said with embarrassment. However, her eyes revealed that her reverence towards Chu Mu had increased.

“Let’s have Xu Kuang clean up the mess here.” Chu Mu swept his eyes over the pirate corpses on the ground. Although every pirate had a bounty, the counting up of this messy pile of corpses couldn’t be left to them since they just finished a huge battle. 

A moment later, Yuan Sui brought back the demon team which specialized in reaping the lives of enemies.

“When we were chasing them, we discovered a small town there. That should be their base.” said Yuan Sui. 

Everyone’s eyes lit up. If there was a small town built here, the town probably had much ill-gotten wealth in it. 

    ……

The small town wasn’t very large. It could hold at most a few tens of thousands of people in it. 

Most of those who lived in the small town were pirates, but many of their family members lived there as well. 

When they arrived at the small town, the pirates who had been chased like degenerate dogs suddenly became determined to not let New Moon Navy step in. 

However, the pirates didn’t have any remaining fighting strength left and New Moon Navy easily entered the small town. They became occupiers and captured the remaining pirates. 

As for the old and young women and children that were family with these pirates, they were all instructed to stay inside their houses and to not come out or they would be treated as pirates. 

Killing these people didn’t really matter, but upon considering that a large portion of them had been kidnapped by the pirates and were innocent people, it would be better just to wait for Xu Kuang to come here and let Wupan Navy deal with them. 

Of course, before Wupan Navy arrived, Chu Mu was going to plunder the pirates’ treasure house clean. 

There were four pirate chieftains captured alive and forcing them to tell them where the treasure house was very easy. 

After occupying the island, capturing the pirates and setting up camp in the small town, Sang Ying and Yuan Sui headed for the pirates’ treasure house. 

Chu Mu actually wasn’t very interested in plundering the pirates’ objects. Indeed, his soul pets were already of the high class dominator rank and the rank of these pirates wasn’t very high. There probably wouldn’t be anything he wanted. 

“Chu Mu, I did a count. There’s a total of 50 thousand xuan worth of resources in the treasure house!” Sang Ying brought a military adviser to report the items in the treasure house.

“50 thousand. That’s not a small amount!” Chu Mu was also surprised. 

Ten or twenty thousand was already an incredible amount by Chu Mu’s estimates. Indeed, resources were not something hoarded. There were so many pirates and after allocating spoils, not much should have remained. 

But when those chieftains had told them where the treasure house was, Zhuo Qing had fainted because the resources they had plundered not long ago from that city still hadn’t been used. Who would have expected New Moon Navy would slaughter their way over and take it all for themselves!

“50 thousand xuan and the bounty from Crown Ocean City. This time we’ve made about 110 thousand xuan.” said Sang Ying with excitement. 

110 thousand xuan was a huge amount. Sang Ying had never seen this much money in his life before. 

10 thousand xuan was already capable of creating a high class dominator rank. 

So calculating it in high dominator rank terms, this amount could create 11 high class dominators! 

Sang Ying had struggled for tens of years, but only had two high class dominators.

It was no wonder he was excited. Anyone would be like this when they thought of this amount of money now in their purse.
