Cang Wu Zhang left without looking back.
Inside the conference hall, the Wraith Generals all lowered their heads, not daring to say a single word.
One was a former Wraith Might, the other was a current Wraith Might.
These two were never on good terms to begin with, and now that their conflict had been exposed in front of everyone, who knows what would happen next?
Facing such a situation, how could the Wraith Generals dare to say anything?
On the main seat, the black-robed woman put down the scroll in her hand.
"Go outside and wait."
She casually ordered.
"Understood" the Wraith Generals stood up, bowed, and left.
The black-robed woman sat there and thought for a while longer.
She remained still like a statue for a long time, then stood up and walked towards the back of the hall.
The back of the hall was actually larger and more spacious than the front, with a wraith statue being worshipped inside.
The black-robed woman raised a stick of incense with both hands, inserted it into the incense burner, then knelt down on one knee towards the statue.
A few moments later.
The stick of incense gave off a spark, causing smoke to fill the air.
The entire wraith statue seemed to have become a lot more spirited. It looked down at the black-robed woman.
Seeing that the incense had been lit, the black-robed woman bowed to the statue and said: "This subordinate greets the Wraith Lord"
A cold and distant voice resounded from the statue:
"What is it?"
The black-robed woman replied: "I failed"
The voice became a bit stricter and spat out a single word: "Speak"
The black-robed woman replied: "I used the Thousand Demon Eroding Insect Hex, but it was broken by the Huang Quan Devil King"
The statue asked: "That hex was quite decent, how did you fail? Did the Huang Quan Devil King not fall for it? "
"When I used it on Magic Dragon, the Huang Quan Devil King fell for it, but didn't die" the black-robed woman replied.
The wraith statue paused briefly, then said: "Even Magic Dragon's life was used, but he still wasn't killed …"
The black-robed woman bowed and said nothing.
The wraith statue slowly continued: "According to your plan, not only did you kill Magic Dragon, you also retrieved his and the Huang Quan Devil King's power and turned it into a new hex, you even completed the mission I gave you, allowing Cang Wu Zhang to carefully train under you for a while … your strategy of killing three birds with one stone was well executed, the only regretful thing was that the Huang Quan Devil King's capabilities far exceeded your expectations"
The black-robed woman said, "This subordinate is guilty, please punish me, Ghost Lord."
The statue replied: 「 It's not your fault, in truth, that Huang Quan Devil King's capabilities also exceeded my expectations 」
For a moment, the black-robed woman's face flashed with surprise.
The three Wraith Lords were the rulers of the Wraith realm, they had always been the rulers of the Wraith realm, but now they were admitting their mistakes right in front of him.
It hardly ever happened.
The voice carried an exceedingly rare emotion as it continued: 「 Between the infinite worlds, countless heroes and heroes have thrown themselves into this grand war, vying for the right to survive the Apocalypse, so it is normal for us to encounter some obstacles on our way forward 」
"I don't care about the Huang Quan Devil King, because his only fate is death"
The Malevolent Spirit Statue paused for a moment, then continued, "Go, Yu. Help me look after Wu Zhang. You have to ensure his safety. For this, you can mobilize as many people as you want."
The black-robed woman said hesitantly, "Yes, my lord, but our mission here …"
The Wraith statue replied: 「 It's fine, the three of us are about to arrive at the frontlines 」
The black-robed woman trembled and muttered in a low voice: "Will the Wraith Lord personally participate in the war?"
The Wraith statue replied in a low voice: 「 Indeed, the Eternal Abyss is about to fall 」
The black-robed woman joyfully commented: "So the Eternal Abyss is about to fall"
「 Indeed 」 the Wraith statue slowly replied, 「 I originally wanted Wu Zhang to be tempered in your hands for a while, but now that the Eternal Abyss is about to be conquered by us, it would be best to quickly return him to the title of Wraith Might 」
"Understood" the black-robed woman replied.
The Wraith statue continued: 「 Go yourself, bring enough people with you to cripple that Huang Quan Devil King, leave his life for Wu Zhang to kill 」
"Understood" the black-robed woman replied.
「 Bring the twin swords Heaven and Earth back, this contribution will be yours 」
The Wraith statue's voice stopped at this point.
The black-robed woman waited for a while longer, then stood up and left.
The black robe she was wearing suddenly fell to the ground, revealing her snow-white skin.
A tight-fitting black armor appeared on her body.
Following that was a full set of black armor that exuded a deep sense of killing intent.
She pushed open the door of the conference hall and ordered the generals waiting outside: "Relay my orders"
The generals all knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Yes, sir!"
The black-robed woman's expression was expressionless as she casually ordered: "The entire army is to move out to the 900 million World Layers with me"
One of the generals doubtfully asked: "Madam, what are we going to do?"
The black-robed woman glanced at him and replied: "The war is about to end, but the Eternal Abyss still has a supreme Divine Armament that is still wandering outside. We are going to retrieve it and offer it to the Wraith Lord"
"Understood!"
…
At a certain point in the past.
An unfamiliar world.
The orange cat was sitting on the roof of a red brick house.
Lines of glowing text appeared in front of his eyes:
[The Thousand Demon Eroding Insect Gu has been fully absorbed]
[Following this, you will begin to absorb Magic Dragon's power]
[Attention! Attention!]
[Magic Dragon's soul is still contained within his power and has yet to leave. Would you like to consume his soul and convert it into your own Soul Points?]
The orange cat's eyes flickered.
After a bit of thought, he lightly shook his head.
In truth, even without the War God UI's reminder, he had already sensed the other party's soul.
Strange …
I've already let his soul go, so why hasn't his soul left?
The orange cat closed his eyes and entered his Thought Sea.
A muscular man with a pair of horns on his head was standing at the edge of his Thought Sea, neither moving forward nor retreating.
He simply stood there with his hands clasped behind his back, as if waiting for something.
Magic Dragon.
Gu Qing Shan appeared and stood in front of him.
"Why aren't you leaving? Are you still reluctant to part with your power? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Demon Dragon said, "As a ghost, only in your sea of knowledge can I say a few words to you at the last moment."
"Ah? What do you want to say to me? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
Magic Dragon replied: "Before I die, I actually still have a lot of means to fight against you, or at least wound you, but I've noticed the existence of that gu insect"
His gaze fell into the void of space and lost focus.
"That Gu worm couldn't wait to control my body. It's like playing with a chess piece or manipulating a puppet."
"I immediately understood everything"
Gu Qing Shan raised her eyebrows and continued: "Being attacked from behind by one's own people is truly depressing"
Magic Dragon couldn't help but ask: "I have a question — — your Thaumaturgy can completely destroy me, so why didn't you consume my soul?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Souls aren't my ingredients"
Magic Dragon pursued further: "Aren't you afraid that I'll return in the future?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "If I can kill you once today, I'll be able to kill you countless times in the future"
Magic Dragon suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "So that's how it is. How ironic, the one behind me wishes for everything I have to be consumed, but my enemy chose to spare my soul"
Gu Qing Shan casually replied: "You don't need to feel grateful for that, because I've killed countless souls. As for you, I only felt that you had painstakingly accumulated your strength, and you were also very capable, worthy of respect. So I took away your power just like that, at the very least, I should give you some compensation, this is my principle when it comes to making deals"
"But you're already dead, and I have nothing else to give you, so I'll give your soul a chance to reincarnate"
Magic Dragon silently listened to her for a while.
"Gu Qing Shan, I've been imprisoned in Magic Dragon's body, walking in the darkness for my entire life, I've already forgotten what it feels like to be a human"
"For over 10,000 years, no one has ever treated me as a human"
"I've given up everything, only to end up like this"
"That's why after some thought, before I leave, I've decided to ask a favor of you"
Gu Qing Shan smiled and raised her hand: "Wait a minute, no matter what you want to ask, I can't agree to it right away"
"Why not?" Magic Dragon narrowed his eyes and asked.
"As you know, I've been very busy lately. The fate of the 900 million World Layers is about to be decided, [Order] also needs to evolve a bit faster, and I also need to think about how to deal with [Chaos]. Furthermore, I'm also an ally of the Abyss, it's now my turn to help it fight. I've also promised Lin to take her to the Reality Gate, in short, there's a lot of things I need to do" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Magic Dragon silently listened and nodded: "You really are busy"
Gu Qing Shan muses: "How about this, you can tell me what you need to do first. After everything has calmed down, I'll have the time to travel to many worlds, see many things I've never seen before, meet many people I've never met before. At that time, if your request won't harm anyone else, I'll help you complete it"
"Consider this a bit of respect I have for you as an opponent"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then added: "I hope that after I've fulfilled your request, you'll be able to live a good life in your next life and not go back to being a spy, it's too tiring and the pay is too poor"
"Ah, right, don't come looking for me for revenge either, I don't really like killing people"
Magic Dragon looked at Gu Qing Shan for a long while before asking: "You want to retire? That's a good idea, unfortunately … "
"Unfortunately what?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The Eternal Abyss is going to be destroyed today"
