Yi Xiaosu looked Chu Xun and his companions up and down.
In addition to Yi Xiaosu, there were more than a dozen Human Kings present, whose cultivations were all at the third or fourth grade.
“First, I’d like to welcome you guys to join our league, but I have to warn you guys that the evil dragon is very powerful, and if you’re not in the Human King Realm, you’ll get killed in the battle,” Yi Xiaosu said.
He said so because he couldn’t see through the cultivation of Chu Xun and Tang Rou, but he could feel strong fluctuations of Internal Breath from Yan Wushuang.
“Would you please show some of your skills so that we can have a better understanding of each other?” Yi Xiaosu asked.
“Let me give it a try.” A fourth-grade Human King came forward. He was more than two meters tall, his upper body naked and his muscles bulging high up.
Yan Wushuang frowned with disdain. He took two steps forward and said proudly, “Half a move.”
The people present were puzzled. “What does he mean by saying half a move?”
The Internal Breath of the strong man began to surge, and his aura soared.
Boom!
Terrifying Internal Breath swept out of Yan Wushuang’s body and directly threw the fourth-grade Human King away.
The crowd was shocked. Even Yi Xiaosu’s eyes were filled with shock when he looked at Yan Wushuang.
“Let me tell you the truth. I’m a seventh-grade Human King. There is no need to hide it,” Yan Wushuang said proudly.
“What about the two of them?” Yi Xiaosu looked at Chu Xun and Tang Rou.
“He is at the fourth grade,” Yan Wushuang said, pointing at Chu Xun. This was what they had agreed on before going there. He then pointed at Tang Rou and said, “She is at the second grade.”
“Welcome you guys to join the Dragon-slaying League.” Yi Xiaosu was surprised and didn’t expect a seventh-grade Human King to be willing to join them.
This was because among all those leagues, the Dragon-slaying League was the weakest one. Now that Yan Wushuang had joined them, they could stand up to other leagues as an equal.
“Let me introduce myself first. I’m Yi Xiaosu.”
Yan Wushuang said coolly, “I’m Yan Wushuang.”
“Liu Tianhe.” Chu Xun spoke calmly.
“Tang Rou.” Tang Rou’s sweet voice and the veil on her face made the warriors present curious.
“From now on, we are a family,” Yi Xiaosu said with a smile. Then, he took out 15 mid-grade spiritual herbs and added, “These are your rewards.”
Yan Wushuang didn’t show any signs of accepting them. He said haughtily, “I didn’t come here for these spiritual herbs. Forget about the reward.”
Yi Xiaosu was slightly surprised. It was the first time that he had seen a warrior who didn’t like spiritual herbs or spiritual elixirs.
Yan Wushuang added, “I don’t lack for such stuff. I came here just to slaughter the dragon. It would be even better if I could kill a few western invaders.”
At first, Yi Xiaosu thought that Yan Wushuang had some other intentions. On hearing his words, he couldn’t help but laugh.
It was normal for a seventh-grade Human King to look down on five spiritual herbs.
“From now on, Master Yan will be the deputy chief of our league.” Yi Xiaosu announced.
Everyone present had witnessed how powerful Yan Wushuang was, and they felt honored to have a deputy chief who was a seventh-grade Human King.
Everyone came up to greet Yan Wushuang.
However, Yan Wushuang didn’t remember a single name of those men.
“The three of you must be tired after such a long trip. We have three empty rooms over there. I hope you won’t mind staying there for the night,” Yi Xiaosu said embarrassedly.
This yard wasn’t very big, so some people had to share the room with one or two other people. These three empty rooms were reserved in case of need.
The houses in the yard were single story buildings, and every room only covered an area of about twenty square meters. The room was really too shabby for a seventh-grade Human King.
“It’s fine. Us warriors in the Jianghu often stay in the wild for the night. Isn’t it normal?” Yan Wushuang didn’t care about it at all.
Chu Xun winked at Yan Wushuang.
Yan Wushuang said, “Brother Yi, there’s something I don’t understand. Please enlighten me.”
Yi Xiaosu was slightly surprised before replying, “Go ahead.”
“Just now, I walked into the territories of some other leagues for I didn’t find this yard. I noticed that those leagues seemed to hate each other. We are gathering here to kill the dragon and benefit the people and the country. Why would they hate each other?”
On hearing this, Yi Xiaosu forced a smile and said, “Master Yan, you may not know that many leagues came here to recruit talents for the forces behind them in the name of killing the dragon.”
“Are you saying that they are here not to slaughter the dragon but for their own interests?”
Yi Xiaosu nodded.
Yan Wushuang looked at Yi Xiaosu and asked, “Brother Yi, which force do you belong?”
Yi Xiaosu was slightly stunned, and then he said seriously, “I don’t belong to any force or any sect. I’m just a wandering cultivator. I founded this league because thousands of soldiers had been killed and our enemy was so arrogant. I couldn’t suppress my anger.”
Yan Wushuang did not believe the words. He didn’t think there would be such a righteous person in the world.
Yi Xiaosu saw through what Yan Wushuang was thinking. “Master Yan, you can choose not to trust me, but I want to tell you that everyone present is merciful and of high morality. They didn’t take any reward. It’s natural that you turned up your nose at those five spiritual herbs, but the others needed it, yet they still didn’t take it. Why?”
Yan Wushuang looked at the crowd in surprise.

The well-built man, who was sent flying by Yan Wushuang, grinned and said, “Although I don’t have a high cultivation, I know I’m a Huaxia man. I’ll make those who killed my siblings pay with their blood.”
“Deputy Chief Yan, don’t think that all the warriors are profit-seekers. Yes, I need the spiritual herbs and spiritual elixirs very much, but I won’t take them against my conscience,” a third-grade Human King said.
“I just like to be free. I hate those arrogant people from the west, and I won’t join any other league or become their lackey.”
Chu Xun nodded to himself. It seemed to him that there were some loyal and affectionate men in the world.
Yan Wushuang was also shocked and was greatly moved by these words. Cupping his fist, he said, “From today on, we’re friends, guys. Let’s show those invaders from the west that those who invade Huaxia will be put down no matter how far away they are.”
“Good.” Yi Xiaosu took the lead to echo with a cheer.
Since they had the same goal, they quickly got closer to each other.
“Brother Yi, what are we doing here? Let’s go out and look for that black dragon,” Yan Wushuang said.
Yi Xiaosu said with a smile, “Master Yan, be more patient. That black dragon is very cunning and is hiding deep in the mountains of Country Y. It shows up occasionally, and all the people are waiting for an opportunity.”
“Country Y?” Yan Wushuang did not take the country seriously, and he said, “Then let’s go straight into the mountain, find it, and then kill it.”
Yi Xiaosu laughed and felt that Yan Wushuang was an admirable man. However, he still tried to persuade him. “We can’t do that. There are many experts guarding Country Y now, and some experts from Country M are also hiding there. We know little about Country Y, so it will be dangerous if we break in recklessly.”
“Country Y? Country M? I don’t care! If I meet them, I’ll kill them all,” Yan Wushuang said with disdain.
“Besides those experts, there are many advanced thermal weapons which could cause a damage to the warriors,” Yi Xiaosu said.
Yan Wushuang said disdainfully, “What kinds of thermal weapons could there be in a small and backward country like Country Y?”
“Country Y doesn’t have it, but Country M has it.”
Yan Wushuang flew into a rage and cursed. “A group of flunkies!”
“How I wish Chu Xun the Devil could be here and lead us breaking into Country Y,” said the stocky man in a muffled voice.
Yan Wushuang took a look at Chu Xun subconsciously.
“You’re right. Back when the Golden Wolf Mercenary hijacked one of our planes, Chu Xun the Devil rushed there directly and killed all of them. I heard that the border guards of Country Y were all killed. How comforting it is!” a Human King chimed in.
“I’m wondering if Chu Xun the Devil will come. If he comes, there will be a lot of fun. According to his temper, he will take down all those experts no matter where they are from, haha...”
“Chu Xun the Devil has always been mysterious. Perhaps he’ll really come.”
Yan Wushuang was displeased after seeing that so many people thought so highly of Chu Xun. He deliberately said in a mocking tone, “Chu Xun the Devil is a scourge, a rogue. He’s selfish, scheming, and insatiable. What’s so admirable about him?”
The corners of Chu Xun’s mouth twitched. He almost couldn’t stop himself from kicking Yan Wushuang away, and he understood that Yan Wushuang said those words deliberately in front of him.
Seeing that Yan Wushuang didn’t like Chu Xun the Devil, Yi Xiaosu asked curiously, “Do you have any grudge against Chu Xun the Devil, Master Yan?”
Yan Wushuang nodded and said, “That bastard stole the Soul-nourishing Lotus from my family, and he even took away all the Spirit Flux in the Spirit Basin. He also stole two Fire-Amber Bamboos.”
“Uh!”
The group of people were dumbstruck.
“You guys talk first. I want to have a rest,” Chu Xun said before he returned to his room, without giving Yan Wushuang any chance to mock him again.
Tang Rou said goodbye and went back to her room as well.
Yan Wushuang raised his voice as if he was afraid that Chu Xun couldn’t hear him. “Chu Xun the Devil is a thief, a robber!”
The group of people didn’t know what to say. If what Yan Wushuang said was true, then it wouldn’t be too much for him to hate Chu Xun to death, considering the value of these items stolen by Chu Xun.
At this moment, Chu Xun opened the door and stuck his head out while saying, “Brother Yan, be quiet. If Chu Xun the Devil hears it, your treasury will be in danger.”
Yan Wushuang was speechless and terrified. Based on his understanding of Chu Xun, he knew that Chu Xun wouldn’t be afraid of doing anything.
Yan Wushuang shut up as he was told. He was really afraid that Chu Xun would target his family’s treasury.
...
...
They had been staying here for two days, but the black dragon didn’t appear even once.
Yan Wushuang became a little impatient.
The black dragon didn’t appear, but a piece of new arrived. A group of western warriors appeared on the border between Huaxia and Country Y, and tried to provoke the Huaxia warriors.
“Let’s go and have a look too.” Yi Xiaosu suggested.
After a discussion, they all rushed to the border.
From a distance, they saw a large crowd, all of whom were Huaxia warriors.
There were many people on Country Y’s side as well, some of them were warriors from Country Y while most of them were warriors from Country M. These people looked very arrogant with disdain in their eyes.
“These Huaxia warriors are as small as monkeys, haha...” A well-built warrior from Country M let out an ear-piercing ridicule, holding a golden sword in his hand.
From the conversations of the surrounding warriors, Chu Xun learned that this man was named Hoffmann, a candidate of the Son of God for the Holy Temple of the Sun in the west. He also learned that Hoffmann could use the power of the sun and was very powerful.
The Huaxia warriors all glared at him with anger in their eyes, and were very indignant.
“Haha... warriors from Huaxia, is there anyone who dares to stand out and fight me, the Son of God?” Hoffmann stepped onto the border line with a provocative expression.
However, no one on Huaxia’s side answered.
This was human nature; people always wanted others to stand out to face the danger first. What was more, most of the leagues came there with selfish motives to recruit talents for the forces behind them. None of them wanted to be the first one to stand out.
Seeing this, Hoffmann behaved more arrogantly. He said with a sneer, “You’re a group of cowards. Do you only dare to brag arrogantly on the Internet?”
