CHAPTER 2508  GATHERING ALLIES

"Daoist Mu Lin, you don't think you can leave without telling us, can you?" Lin Mu heard a voice. "Or should we now call you, Lord Imperator Lin Mu." A person laughed.

"Lu Xu and you guys…" Lin Mu recognized several familiar faces that were stranding along with the army experts. "You can't leave without us." A white haired woman spoke in an airy voice. It was none other than Mei Nienzhen. She stood along with Lu Xu, Chong Fa and several more experts that had joined them in the expedition as well as some from the Tournament.

"You all want to come too? It's going to be very dangerous." Lin Mu warned them.

"I slapped that bitch before, I think its only right I join in. It's not like she's going to let me be free if all this fails." Lu Xu laughed. "At least I can witness it all myself as she's defeated again."

"He's right." Lin Mu heard another voice. "I've been wanting to fight her for a long time too. She owes me a debt." It was a person he hadn't expected at all.

"Childe Wildfire? You've recovered?" Lin Mu saw one of the top performers of the Tournament.

 The man had faced defeat at the hands of Third Prince Feng Baxing, but that had only been because of the Peak Grade Immortal Tool, the Shearing Hurricane Fan and its weapon spirit. If not for that, it would be hard to tell who might have come out on top as both men were equally matched.

In the fight, Childe Wildfire had gotten greatly injured and his meridians were damaged as well. After that, Lin Mu hadn't really seen or heard of the man but it seemed like he was now back.

"Of course, it's been almost three decades." Childe Wildfire replied. "If I still didn't recover, I should've just died back then." The man scoffed.

"Well, if you've recovered you're welcome to join." Lin Mu couldn't deny the man who was certainly quite strong.

"I wish to join as well." Chong Fa stated. "I've gained quite a lot from the expedition and grown since then. It all happened due to your help, as such I now wish to replay you." The man with the very tall hat said seriously.

~SHUA~

He even released a bit of his immortal Qi, showing Lin Mu his cultivation base.

"Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm?" Lin Mu sensed.

"I'm not lagging behind either." Mei Nienzhen said, in a rare tone of competition. A cold aura spread from her, as Lin Mu could feel a great power from her. "Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm?" Lin Mu raised his brows, not having expected this. "I've been training." Mei Nienzhen replied. "Let me come… I'll give you this." She said while extending her hand.

Lin Mu looked at it and found a bunch of berries in it. "Rimed Pearl berries." Lin Mu recognized them. "Haha… Very well you all can come on too." He reckoned if they wanted to do this so much he shouldn't deny them.

Yao Changing was a threat to everyone in the Rust Sky World, thus it was normal for them to fight against it.

"It's good that we have so many volunteers. We can leave some of the army expert behind." Monk Hushu stated seeing them. "Yes." Lin Mu knew that it was important for them to protect the cities in the empire as well.

If they took too many of them with us, the cities would only be left with weaker soldiers that might not be enough to stand against the Chimeric Beasts and Yao Changying's minions.

Soon, the arrangements were completed and the people boarded the Flying Ship.

There was Lin Mu, Crown Prince Feng Shun, Crown Princess Shang, Monk Hushu, Daoist Chu, Ziran, Lady Kang, Elder Hu, Min Ju, Mei Nienzhen, Lu Xu, Chong Fa, and Childe Wildfire along with thirty eight more expedition and tournament members. The remaining spots were filled by the army experts of the Dao Wind Empire bringing the total number to one hundred.

Of course, Lin Mu's tamed beasts were also present as he wouldn't go anywhere without them.

The Saintess would also be accompanying them in her own manner as well. With such an entourage, they were feeling quite confident as they finally took off.

~WHOOSH~

The Flying Ship soared out from the Capital City's center and automatically followed the set coordinates. "Here we go." Daoist Chu said as he finished fixing the route. "It should now follow the path on its own." He added.

"That's good, at least we won't have to spend more time in manually correcting the course." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "As long as there isn't any great danger in our way at least." He added.

"Yeah, the only other danger we face along the way is the Ocean beasts." Lu Xu agreed.

"That won't be a problem." Lin Mu chimed in. "They won't come near us." He said as he held a small scale in his hand. This belongs to .

"What's that?" Lady Kang looked at the scale.

"A treasure that'll grant us safe passage through the ocean." Lin Mu answered. "A gift from my allies." He added.

"That's interesting." Ziran said taking a closer look at the scale. "A Fish scale of some sort?" It made everyone curious about just what kind of allies Lin Mu had. The man didn't explain further and simply held the scale, sending a message to his allies living far in the depths of the ocean. 'The Haima Tribe needs to know about their old foe.' Lin Mu had figured out by now that the conflict between their tribe's guardian and the demons had been nothing but a machination of the Withered Spirit Daoist.

As such, they were owed this information. Lin Mu reckoned they would certainly want to take revenge, and they had already asked Lin Mu to not hesitate in requesting their help before.

Plus, now that they were heading to a location that was in the ocean, it would become a favorable terrain for them.
