The chain was tossed forward, coiling around the wraith leader.
At this point, [Starflame War God]'s title Skill [Conquer] had already ended. The old man had also recovered.
He looked at the metal chain flying towards him, and his expression changed.
"Don't do anything!"
He shouted at his subordinates.
Eight iron chains bound him tightly.
The old man turned to the caster in the sky and smiled bitterly: "This old man was impolite this time, please bring me to the City Lord, I want to apologize to him in person"
The rest of the Wraith realm cultivators exchanged glances.
How did the situation take such a sudden turn for the worse?
Only to see the old man signaling them with his eyes, telling them to stay calm.
Everyone could only stay still.
In the sky, the leading caster sighed and shook his head: "Elder Du, hah, let's go to the City Lord and await his judgment"
With a wave of his hand, his eight subordinates pulled the chain and brought the old man away.
Before the old man disappeared, he stared deeply at Gu Qing Shan.
"Fiend, I'll find you"
He sent his voice.
Gu Qing Shan remained expressionless and didn't respond.
At this point, the leading caster descended and stood in front of Gu Qing Shan and Crow.
"You may leave, the responsibility for this matter does not lie with you" he said.
Crow turned to the Wraith realm cultivators and smirked: "Very well, next time, if any scum dares to mess with us, they'll have to write their wills first"
The Wraith realm cultivators glared at him.
"If this wasn't Void City, you would have already been refined into ghosts" one of them couldn't help but say.
Crow coldly laughed, then said: "I'll wait for you, come to the Hitman Guild at any time"
With two maids leading the way, Crow and Gu Qing Shan left the City Lord's manor.
As soon as they left the City Lord's manor, Crow called a black bird, whispered a few words to it, then let it fly away.
"I'm going to tell the old man about this so that he won't be confused when the wraiths come knocking on his door in the future" Crow explained to Gu Qing Shan.
Under the shroud of night, the surroundings were shrouded in darkness.
Although there weren't many people on the streets, every bar, casino, nightclub, and restaurant were filled with people.
The nightlife had just begun.
Crow's expression was solemn and contemplative, no longer in the mood to play around.
Gu Qing Shan analyzed: "This time, we just happened to run into them, they only came up with this idea on the spur of the moment, wanting to use us to show off their strength"
Crow nodded in agreement: "I agree, but if others want to step on us, we can't just willingly become their stepping stones"
Crow suddenly patted his shoulder and said: "You need to be careful, your sword is able to counter them, so they might come looking for trouble later on"
Gu Qing Shan remained silent.
Not very likely, but definitely.
The person known as "Elder Du" would definitely come looking for him.
— — -for the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
Gu Qing Shan's mind turned a bit, then purposefully appeared doubtful and asked: "I heard that among the Samsara worlds, the Tomb of Myriad Beasts had fused with more world fragments, so they should be stronger than the Wraith realm. But why do so few people from the Tomb of Myriad Beasts come out, while the Wraith realm people are always roaming around Void City?"
Crow explained: "The Tomb of Myriad Beasts had fused with a great Samsara tomb, so Apocalypses would frequently descend from the great tomb into their world, so they can't even take care of themselves"
"As for the Wraith realm — –"
Crow shook his head, then muttered: "Normally, I can't tell you, but since you've offended them for the sake of the Guild's reputation, I don't mind telling you"
"The Wraith realm's strongest are Life Talismans, yaksha masks' Guise Hexes, and artifacts' Causality Law"
"Among them, Life Talismans are the most malicious, using the lives of living beings as the basis to perform unimaginable feats; as for the yaksha masks, they all have the power to hit without fail, while their artifacts contain Causality Law — –"
"These three powers have already surpassed many worlds, even among first-rate worlds, they could be ranked among the top few, but they somehow managed to obtain some Immortal Crafts"
Speaking of Immortal Crafts, Crow appeared doubtful: "I don't really understand Immortal Crafts, but they seem to be the strongest spells of the Samsara"
"That means the Wraith realm is very strong, very, very strong"
"You have to be careful"
Gu Qing Shan nodded in agreement.
Back in the Yama Heavenly realm, when she ran into Cang Wu Zhang's servant, he had a pair of golden chopsticks that indeed contained Causality Law, allowing him to block three attacks at once.
Cang Wu Zhang had also used Life Talismans before, if he hadn't used them and had his subordinates die in his place, I would have already killed him.
How strange.
Why is the Wraith realm so strong?
Gu Qing Shan muttered in her mind as she followed Crow back to the Hitman Guild.
Although it was already quite late, several staff members were already waiting in the Hitman Guild's lobby.
Crow was called away by one of the staff members, saying that the Guild Master had summoned him.
Qin was also waiting for Gu Qing Shan.
She brought Gu Qing Shan to a secret room deep inside the Guild.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, the Guild Master has already agreed to your advancement, but there are a few procedures that need to be done" Qin said.
Gu Qing Shan sat down across from her, rubbing her hands:
"Why do I feel like there are more procedures after becoming Unsolvable rank?"
"Of course" Qin smiled, "Unsolvable rank is only the beginning — — here, we need to sign an agreement first"
Qin handed her a contract.
Gu Qing Shan received it, only to see the words written on it:
"I hereby swear that, unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not affect any world in battle, nor will I destroy any world."
Below that was the signature area.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "This is — –"
Qin smiled: "Everyone who officially joins Void City must sign this"
"Why?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Because everyone is very strong, it's too easy for them to destroy a few worlds with a wave of their hand. This is to restrain everyone from doing such a thing"
Qin further explained: "The Apocalypse had already destroyed enough worlds, if we were to destroy worlds as well, then the worlds within the space vortex would gradually go extinct, the World Origin and the Laws of the worlds would also gradually weaken, affecting everyone in the process"
Gu Qing Shan gladly said: "Alright, I'll sign this — — can I sign a code name?"
"A code name is also bound by the contract, that's fine" Qin replied.
Gu Qing Shan received the pen from Qin and signed the code name [Dragon King of Atrocity Jail].
Qin looked at the code name in shock.
"I forgot to mention, I just changed my code name" Gu Qing Shan explained.
It was now that Qin realized and said: "Then all of your previous files will need to be changed, wait a moment, I'll handle it"
With a wave of her hand, several dozen files appeared in front of her.
After quickly dealing with this, she drew a line in the void of space and took out a large cardboard box.
[After becoming an Unsolvable Hitman, the Guild had combined your fighting style and strength to make a comprehensive evaluation of you, then prepared a few things for you]
Qin took out an ancient book, a set of black leather armor, a ring, and a card from the box.
She introduced them one by one:
[This is a manual that records the movement technique [Flowing Shadow Steps], it can increase your agility]
[You can no longer use your Dragon Rider armor, you can now change into this Darkness Concealment armor, it's lighter and provides better defense]
"How much stronger?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"About three times stronger than the Dragon Rider armor" Qin replied.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but click her tongue.
Qin then gave the ring to Gu Qing Shan and said:
"This ring can be used as a storage device, it can also be used to communicate with the Guild and request reinforcements in times of emergency"
She then took the card from the box and said: "This is your identity card, you can use it to read the Guild's information, use the Guild's exchange panel, and enter certain special training worlds of the Guild"
As Gu Qing Shan looked through the exquisite items, he silently confirmed that it was exactly as Buttercup had said, only by becoming an Unsolvable Hitman would one be accepted by the Guild.
He put the items away, put on the leather armor, and picked up the [Flowing Shadow Steps] manual.
"This is a body technique manual, if I don't want it, can I exchange it for another one?" he asked.
On the War God UI, the [War God Skills] icon lit up.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the [War God Skills] icon:
[Discovered Secret Art: [Flowing Shadow Steps]]
[This is an Hitman's assassination movement technique, capable of manifesting 7-8 flowing shadows that make it impossible to distinguish the real body]
[Would you like to pay 100,000 Soul Points to learn this movement technique?]
Gu Qing Shan immediately replied: "Yes"
A warm flow emerged from the Secret Art, flowed up his arm, and converged in his Thought Sea.
[Ting]!
[You've learned [Shadow Steps]]
Hearing him say that, Qin nodded: "We've also considered that possibility. If you don't want to learn this Secret Art, the Guild also has a spare Secret Art for you to choose from"
She received the [Flowing Shadow Steps] manual from Gu Qing Shan's hand, then took out another Secret Art.
[You're a sword-wielding Hitman, after analyzing your fighting style, we chose this Cultivation-type Secret Art from the Guild's treasury]
"It's the highest-grade Secret Art in the treasury, it should be able to increase your fighting strength — — I hope that you'll accept it, after all, Secret Arts are very hard to obtain, and this is the only one suitable for you in the entire treasury" Qin patiently explained.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "If I choose [Flowing Shadow Steps], I won't be able to obtain this Secret Art?"
Qin replied: "No, you can use your points to exchange for it"
Gu Qing Shan received the Secret Art.
[War God Skills] once again flashed on the War God UI.
Lines of glowing text appeared:
[Discovered Sword Art Secret Art: Desolation]
[This is a Secret Art. You must pay 800,000 Soul Points to learn this Secret Art]
[If you don't want to spend Soul Points, with your current level of swordsmanship, you'll only need 10 days of hard work to learn this Secret Art]
Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
It's not that I don't want to put in the effort, it's actually quite interesting to slowly learn swordsmanship.
Unfortunately, what I lack the most right now is time, Soul Points is secondary.
— — after all, I killed the Judge of Living Beings' Fate and obtained 300 million Soul Points.
"I'll pay"
Gu Qing Shan replied.
A warm flow flowed from the Secret Art into his Thought Sea.
New lines of glowing text appeared:
[You've learned Secret Art: Desolation]
[Secret Art: Desolation, when you parry an enemy's attack, you can immediately activate this sword to send them flying]
[Description: When the enemy is sent flying, the power of your next three consecutive strikes will be doubled from the previous strike]
What a good swordsmanship!
Gu Qing Shan was overjoyed.
Who would've thought I'd get such an excellent Secret Art by joining the Hitman Guild!
Qin clapped her hands and casually said: "Alright, I've told you everything I need to, do you want to accept an assassination mission?"
"No, I'm going to visit a few friends first" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Very well, contact me if you need anything" Qin smiled and left the secret room.
Gu Qing Shan sat still for a while, then suddenly muttered:
"Tch — – daring to covet my sword, I don't want you to live for even a minute longer"
Behind him, four swords appeared from the void of space, giving off a faint 'wu wu' noise.
