Chapter 1383: Advice
The Wraith realm.
On top of a jagged rocky mountain.
Innumerable wraiths surrounded this entire area from the foot of the mountain all the way to the top.
There wasn’t anything at the very top except a formation that was full of inscribed runes made of obsidian.
The wraiths stood around the formation, ready to catch their enemies.
No one said a single word.
The entire mountain was in absolute silence and solemnity.
Suddenly, a figure descended from above, standing in front of the formation and asked: “The Wraith Lord sent me, what’s the progress so far?”
Another wraith stepped forward, kneeling on one knee: “Sir You Tian Gui had begun his pursuit, most likely he had found the Dragon King of Atrocity Jail”
The figure asked: “Is the Soul Vessel Imprisonment Formation ready?”
“As Dragon King of Atrocity Jail is a t.i.tled Hitman, we didn’t only prepare a Soul Vessel Imprisonment Formation, but also several restraining formations—– the triggering talismans have been handed to sir You Tian Gui’s subordinates”
The figure nodded satisfactorily: “That’s good. The Laws of Soul Eradication Mountain were established by sir Wraith Saint himself, there are very rarely any mistakes. They will surely be transported here briefly, and Dragon King of Atrocity Jail will be executed”
The wraith answered: “We’ve eliminated countless powerful Combatants from numerous worlds while posted here at Soul Eradication Mountain, don’t worry sir”
“Ahaha, very well, I shall wait here for a bit here then. Once you’ve taken Dragon King of Atrocity Jail’s head, I will also be able to report it”
“Yes sir, then please wait for a moment”
“Hm”
After that, both the figure and the wraith stood waiting without uttering a single sound.
One minute pa.s.sed.
…
Two minutes pa.s.sed.
The figure couldn’t help but ask: “Why is You Tian Gui so slow?”
Someone replied: “You might not know sir, but Dragon King of Atrocity Jail has close relations.h.i.+ps with the Ominous Demon Tower. Perhaps he’s staying in the Tower as a guest, so You Tian Gui can’t really act just yet, having to wait until he leaves the Ominous Demon Tower”
The figure thought for a bit then nodded.
The other organizations of Void City were no issue, only the Ominous Demon Tower was especially tough to deal with.
—–they had a particularly disgusting way of threatening people.
That method was truly something they had to look out for.
The figure sighed, then continued: “Very well, I shall wait for a bit longer, but I want all of you to remain completely cautious. Dragon King of Atrocity Jail is known for having many numerous means, I want you all to kill him as soon as he appears”
The wraiths all responded: “Sir, yes sir!”
Time slowly pa.s.sed…
The sun had set and the moon had risen.
An entire day went by.
The figure suddenly shouted: “We’ve waited for an entire day—– why did we wait here for one whole day? This isn’t right!”
The wraiths seemed like they’ve just snapped out of a dream as well.
“Sir, we’re contacting Wraith Might You Tian Gui”
“Oh no, sir, we can’t reach him!”
“We can’t reach any of his subordinates either!”
“Quickly report to the Wraith Lord!”
The wraiths immediately went into a panic.
…
Let’s rewind time a bit.
In reality, You Tian Gui had already found Gu Qing Shan when the figure arrived at Soul Eradication Mountain.
Their teleportation was interfered by Crow and Gu Qing Shan’s joint effort, all of them were transported to a foreign world.
The dragons appeared and began to insult one another.
Right after that, Gu Qing Shan, Crow, and Yu Juan all returned to the bar.
“You said that the dragons were deceiving the wraiths?” Crow asked, still confused.
“Yeah, that’s what I suspect” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Yu Juan was disappointed: “How regretful, not even our library had records of the dragon’s combat method, it’s quite mysterious”
Crow followed up: “That’s right, I also want to see how the dragons fight—– I can see how intense it must be just by thinking about it”
Gu Qing Shan’s mouth twitched a bit and said: “Let’s not, I guarantee that you don’t want to”
At this point, the only other people left in the bar were the three bartenders.
They looked at Gu Qing Shan’s group with a strange expression.
These people manage to escape from the wraiths’ coercion.
—-what shocking news.
As they thought that, the door of the bar suddenly opened.
A man wearing a black baseball cap, a pair of sungla.s.ses, a disposable mask, and a black business suit entered the bar.
Dressing like this, no one was able to see how he actually looked.
“Welcome” one of the bartenders said.
The man walked up to the bar counter, pulled out a piece of paper and muttered: “Tudor, Dian Kong, Gold Card”
The three bartenders all appeared surprised.
“Yes”
“Yes”
“Your excellency? What do you need us for?”
They spoke up in unison.
The man created a flame on his hand and burnt the piece of paper.
“It’s nothing. It took quite a bit of effort to find your names”
He suddenly clapped his hands after saying that.
The three bartenders instantly became as stiff as statues.
The man declared: “Swear by your names, you shall forget the memories I choose”
The three bartenders then became limp and collapsed to the ground.
At this point, the man nodded towards Gu Qing Shan and said: “You don’t need to care about those two dozen wraiths anymore”
His voice suddenly became a female voice.
——it was truly impossible to discern whether this individual was male or female.
This type of disguise and demeanor displayed just how cautious they were.
Gu Qing Shan instantly understood.
—–dragon.
This individual is a dragon.
Gu Qing Shan curiously asked: “How did you deal with them?”
The man answered: “All wraiths are laced with various kinds of tracking techniques, even after they die they can be summoned back, killing them would be the same as releasing them, so we restrained all the magic on their bodies, turned them into a dozen grains of sand and tossed them randomly into various different points in the s.p.a.ce vortex.
Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
These dragons were truly the definition of caution.
The s.p.a.ce vortex was boundlessly vast, capable of housing the infinite worlds, so trying to find a few dozen grains of sand would be infinitely more difficult than finding a needle at the bottom of the ocean.
The man continued: “We then used the remnant fluctuations of their talisman array to unleash an Unintelligent Hex. Anyone affected by this hex would become dumb, and every wraith on the other side of that teleportation array would have been affected”
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist: “Please pa.s.s on my grat.i.tude to your companions as well, thank you very much for your help”
“No need to be so formal, our ident.i.ties are hidden, so the wraiths wouldn’t be able to find us either way. But you, on the other hand, you need to be extra cautious from now on, try not to get involved with those wraiths” the man said.
Saying so, he turned around and prepared to leave.
At this point, Crow couldn’t help but ask: “You are a dragon? You’ve turned all those wraiths into sand?”
The man paused.
He glanced at Crow and was stunned by Crow’s appearance.
“How handsome”
The man spoke in a female voice.
He—- she took off her sungla.s.ses to reveal a pair of beautiful silver eyes and looked at Crow: “What is it? Do you have any objections?”
“Not really objections, I’m just curious to know how you managed to restrain those wraiths” Crow sincerely replied.
Yu Juan also appeared to really want to know, standing next to them.
The woman looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked with a surprised voice: “You didn’t tell them?”
Gu Qing Shan shrugged and replied: “I thought this was a secret of our dragon race”
The woman appeared pleased, then patted his shoulder: “That’s right, we manipulate behind the scenes, trip people up, hit below the belt, shout insults and abuse before killing people—— but everything we do, we do for justice, don’t we?”
Gu Qing Shan quickly nodded in agreement and replied: “That’s exactly it”
The woman put her sungla.s.ses on again and spoke: “I’ll advise you again. Stay as far away as you can from the wraiths, they seemed to have been afflicted with some kind of madness, we of the dragon race had always taken a stance to avoid them”
“Got it” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The woman nodded to him, then turned around and left the bar.
After she left, the three bartenders quickly regained their senses and staggered to stand back up from the ground.
“What happened?”
“I’m not sure, I only remember sleeping very soundly”
“Ah? Why is the bar so empty today?”
The bartenders all felt confused.
As far as they can see, the only customers in the bar were Gu Qing Shan, Yu Juan, and Crow.
