The bar.
Amidst the loud music, Gu Qing Shan and Crow arrived in front of the bar and sat down.
"You broke through?" Crow asked.
He pushed a glass of liquor to Gu Qing Shan, swaying his body a bit, looking a bit seductive.
— — -this is acting. Seems like Crow has prepared quite well during this period of time.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
He received the glass and took a sip.
"That's right, it took quite a long time this time, about 10 days" Gu Qing Shan commented.
"It's an Apocalypse, becoming stronger is always a good thing — — right, did you return to the Guild yet?" Crow continued to ask.
"I did, received a lot of the Titled Hitman's items, as well as a big bag of money" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Crow smiled, saying: "They've managed to come into contact with the will of the Saint Spirit world, so your successful resistance against the Plague Apocalypse has been confirmed, so you'll naturally be rewarded generously"
"They did give quite a bit of money" Gu Qing Shan admitted.
He was also a bit pleased with this.
In short, I won't have to worry about my expenses for a long time to come.
"Please" Crow exclaimed, "At the time, the allied army thought that it was an Unlivable Apocalypse and was scared shitless, but who could've known that you'd bring a brand new and powerful world to the space vortex, such a generous reward wouldn't be too much"
"Why is everyone so happy?" Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.
Crow raised his glass and said: "Today's drinks are on you"
"Alright" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The two of them clinked glasses.
Crow then said: "Look, we only stayed in that world for a short while before we successfully broke through"
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He understood.
Sure enough, Crow continued: "Now that that world has completed its rebirth, becoming the fusion of three powerful worlds, it will only become stronger in the future"
"Such a powerful world is beneficial to everyone, as long as they cultivate there like us, they'll be able to advance one step further sooner or later"
"Once the fusion of the worlds is complete, we'll go there again" Gu Qing Shan said.
At this point, the door of the bar opened as a gentle-looking man wearing a pair of glasses walked in.
"You're early" Omaki said.
Crow offered him a glass: "You're late, perverted duck"
Omaki ignored him and turned to ask Gu Qing Shan: "Did you donate the bounty from the human traffickers to the Church?"
"That's right, Crow was the one who killed him" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"The Church has placed a bounty on him for a long time, but I didn't expect that you would be able to kill him.
Yu Juan gave the two rings to Crow and Gu Qing Shan, then explained how to use them.
Crow, Shan, Gu Qing Shan, "Crow" and "Shan" with ","
Crow placed the halo on top of his head, causing it to hover in place.
", Dragon" Qing "Shan," You Dragon, of it, I didn't. by. "King"
"It's not me, it's a woman who likes this color" Crow replied, then winked at Gu Qing Shan.
. "Gu Qing Shan knew he was talking about Fei Yue.
"This is the Church's reward for you two, you're now high-ranking believers" Omaki said.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit hesitant as she held the lightbulb.
At this point, Omaki continued: "By wearing this hovering lightbulb, as long as you don't provoke the City Lord's manor, you'll be able to do whatever you want in Void City"
"It's that impressive?" Gu Qing Shan was intrigued.
"That's right, the angels will only teleport to a place where there's a lightbulb and attack regardless of the cost — — - no one is willing to fight against the angels"
Crow confirmed: "That's true, the angels of the Church of Splendor have never tolerated the bullying of their believers, so they've waged several famous large-scale wars for this reason"
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
— — -do I really have to put this lightbulb on my head during a fight?
If there's something I need to do, the Church of Splendor wouldn't be able to protect me at all.
Omaki then handed her two lists and said:
"This is the Church's contribution list, if you donate enough money, you can even directly summon an angel"
Gu Qing Shan took the list and saw that his title was written on it.
Crow took out a coin and put it on his own list.
Immediately, a copper coin was added to his donation tally.
"Asking for money so openly, could it be that the Church is in need of money?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, but the Church has always been interested in wealth" Omaki shrugged.
At this point, the door of the bar was pushed open again.
A group of people wearing yaksha masks walked in.
The one in the lead was dressed in black armor with a halberd on his back, slowly walking to the center of the bar.
The other yaksha quickly went to talk to the customers who were drinking.
Through some unknown method, the customers all stood up and left the bar.
Very quickly, other than Gu Qing Shan, Crow, and Omaki, the only ones left in the bar were the yaksha.
It was now that the black-armored yaksha turned around and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
"Long time no see, Dragon King of Atrocity Jail"
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "I remember you, Wraith Might, You Tian Gui"
This Wraith Might was the one who was sent by the Wraith realm to investigate Elder Du's death.
Originally, he had already found Gu Qing Shan, but due to the sudden appearance of the ominous demons, he had no choice but to run away.
You Tian Gui walked in front of the bar, standing in front of Gu Qing Shan and said:
"Dragon King, I want to have a chat with you"
"Have a drink before we talk" Gu Qing Shan handed him a glass of liquor.
"Thank you" You Tian Gui received the glass in surprise, then went silent for a moment.
The glass of liquor in his hand was crimson red like fire, but being soaked in ice, it made one feel like taking a sip.
Gu Qing Shan raised her glass to him.
You Tian Gui had no choice but to raise his glass and take a sip.
"What a fine liquor" You Tian Gui praised.
The bartender cut in: "Everyone, this is the most expensive liquor in our bar, as well as the one the Dragon King ordered on the spot as soon as he saw you enter"
"I hope that everyone can bury the hatchet and remember not to cause trouble in the bar"
You Tian Gui glanced at the bartender, then said: "You guys sure are well-informed"
"The bar has always been well-informed" Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.
You Tian Gui turned to Gu Qing Shan and pondered.
From the moment I entered the bar, my presence had already been continuously accumulating, by the time everyone was chased away and I arrived in front of Gu Qing Shan, it had already reached its peak.
At this point, it was like an arrow on a bow, a sword in hand, ready to unleash a fatal strike at any moment.
— — -but the other party invited me to drink.
He didn't even accept my drink, nor did he say anything, so I really can't act.
And for some reason, I felt like an incantation had been cast on me, ready to fire.
Without a sound, the roles of offense and defense were switched.
This person …
Truly extraordinary.
You Tian Gui stayed silent for a few moments, then suddenly decided to use a different method to face this newly promoted Titled Hitman.
"Dragon King, what do you think about our Wraith realm?" he asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "You're too closed off, I don't understand your world — — but you're all humans, why do you insist on wearing the masks of wraiths?"
"The masks can give us power" You Tian Gui replied.
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "Why do all of your masks have different expressions, some are crying, some are smiling?"
You Tian Gui replied: "Because to achieve the effect of a certain technique, or to achieve a certain goal, the corresponding emotions must be used as a guide"
"But this is only the crying or smiling of the mask, not the real you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"It doesn't matter who we are, as long as the mask is expressing itself, we only care about the result" You Tian Gui replied.
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "How regretful"
"What's regretful?" You Tian Gui asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Crying and smiling are only the surface, if you treat them as tools, you would never understand how much pain is hidden behind the smile, nor the despair that comes from crying"
"And these are the true sources of a cultivator's power"
You Tian Gui paused, then suddenly chuckled and said: "You've studied us quite a bit, have you been studying our Wraith realm?"
"I haven't" Gu Qing Shan replied.
You Tian Gui continued: "You were the one who killed Elder Du, weren't you, Dragon King?"
Gu Qing Shan lowered his head to take a sip of liquor, then replied: "Everything you do in Void City requires evidence, if you're going to blindly — –"
You Tian Gui abruptly cut him off: "In truth, you were the one who killed Elder Du, I know that, and I've already made the necessary preparations"
The atmosphere of the bar suddenly became solemn.
The wraiths had all taken out their weapons, some of them even took out talismans.
Gu Qing Shan put his glass down and looked at him.
You Tian Gui shrugged, then muttered: "An ominous demon can't protect you at all times, Dragon King, I suggest that you surrender, that way, you might be able to keep your life"
Gu Qing Shan silently chuckled.
"Should we do it?" Crow silently sent his voice and asked.
"… No" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Now … isn't the time.
My goal is to enter the Wraith realm, search for the Delimitation sword, resolve the Tomb of Myriad Beasts' crisis, and find out the truth of everything.
Let's wait a bit longer.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan silently took out a ring of light, turned it to white, and placed it above his head.
Seeing him like that, Crow and Omaki also took out their rings of light and placed them above their heads.
Crow turned his ring of light pink, while Omaki turned it red.
The three of them turned their rings towards the wraiths.
Pink, white, and red lights illuminated the bar.
Omaki chanted an incantation:
"One, two, three, go ~"
Instantly, the three rings of light began to flicker in a certain rhythm like neon lights.
The solemn atmosphere was broken.
Music, lighting, and a suitable bar had turned a leisure bar into a high bar. If the Sacrificial Dance wasn't asleep, Gu Qing Shan suspected that she would have jumped up on the spot.
You Tian Gui looked at the ring of light above Gu Qing Shan's head, then at Gu Qing Shan.
This was an angelic halo.
Within Void City, if anyone dared to attack someone with an angelic halo, the Angels would immediately arrive.
Gu Qing Shan raised his glass to greet You Tian Gui.
"Sorry about that, but I'm protected 24/7"
He smiled and said.
