The airship flew through the drifting clouds and headed North.
Inside the cabin of the airship, Xue Nu and Gu Qing Shan sat across from each other, a few exquisite dishes were placed on top of the table. Xue Nu had even personally poured a cup of wine for Gu Qing Shan.
Xue Nu smiled: "Chen Fifth, your mining skills are quite impressive. Once we return to the estate, the first thing you'll do is not use the 'Fifth' character anymore. You'll be the same as me, given the 'Nu' character by the estate's steward, from now on, you'll be treated as a peer"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "It's just a rough job like mining, how could I, this Chen, obtain the 'Nu' character?"
Xue Nu pointed at him and grinned: "You definitely can!"
"Why?"
"I won't lie to you, the situation outside has basically stabilized, then the Eternal Abyss — — -"
At this point, Xue Nu instinctively paused, then corrected himself:
"All in all, the situation is looking good, the estate is in need of a talent like you, your good days are about to come" he said.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
It wasn't easy for me to hear something so important, how could I just let it go like this?
"Big brother Xue, what did you say about the Eternal Abyss just now?" Gu Qing Shan asked with interest.
"That's a matter of war, you don't need to worry about it" Xue Nu replied.
"Ah"
Gu Qing Shan nodded, but his mind was turning a bit.
He sent his voice: "Zhao Xiao Seng"
"I'm here" Zhao Xiao Seng replied.
"Can you turn me and Xue Nu back to before?"
"I can't, without a large-scale support formation, I can only turn back the time of a single individual"
"Then turn Xue Nu back a few breaths' worth of time" Gu Qing Shan said.
Zhao Xiao Seng replied: "With my abilities, I can turn him back three breaths' worth of time, and I won't be able to use any temporal techniques for the next day, make sure you take this chance"
"Got it, let's begin" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Got it"
A second later.
All of Xue Nu's actions were reversed, returning to three breaths' worth of time.
It was like rewinding a movie.
Xue Nu acted as if he did not notice it, he looked at Gu Qing Shan with a smile and said again: "Chen Wu, your mining skills are amazing, when you return to the estate, the first thing you will do is not to use the 'Wu' as your title anymore, you will be like me, given the 'Nu' character by the estate's butler, and from now on, we will talk as peers."
Gu Qing Shan picked up the bottle and poured Xue Nu a full cup, then sincerely said: "If it weren't for big brother Xue, this Chen would have nothing, this Chen will never forget big brother Xue's support"
Seeing his attitude, Xue Nu was pleased and laughed: "Come, let us two brothers drink a toast."
The two of them raised their cups and drained them in one gulp.
Gu Qing Shan filled her cup again and raised it: "Brother Xue, I won't hide it from you, but we mining cultivators have limited knowledge. We've been working in the mines for our entire lives, so we don't know anything about the outside world. I hope Brother Xue can teach me more, I, Chen Wu, will be eternally grateful."
"Come! Let me drink first as a sign of respect! "
Gu Qing Shan drank the wine.
Xue Nu laughed heartily and also drank the wine in his cup.
Gu Qing Shan filled his cup again.
"Brother Xue, if there's anything you need from now on, just tell me. If this Chen even frowns, then I'm not a man"
— — -these three sentences directly expressed her attitude towards Xue Nu, causing him to feel extremely comfortable.
Xue Nu voluntarily raised his cup and clinked it with Gu Qing Shan's.
Gu Qing Shan also drank it all in one gulp.
Shannu whispered in Gu Qing Shan's Thought Sea: "Gongzi, the wine is too strong, don't drink too much"
"It's fine" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Luo Bingli sighed and muttered: "Who would've thought that a sword cultivator like Gu Qing Shan would actually drink and chat with a slave"
"Gongzi is doing this to gather information" Shannu replied.
Luo Bingli scoffed: "I'm not saying that your gongzi is wrong, I just feel that as a man, his actions are a bit unfair to himself"
Gu Qing Shan abruptly cut in: "There are too many unexplainable things in this world, this isn't really unfair at all — — - keep an eye on your surroundings, I'm feeling a bit uneasy"
Hearing him say that, the four swords regained their focus.
Gu Qing Shan put his cup down and told Xue Nu: "Let's drink first as a sign of respect"
Seeing him drinking like that, Xue Nu nodded: "Very well, brother Chen, I'll definitely protect you from now on, don't worry"
Gu Qing Shan appeared a bit hesitant and asked: "Brother Xue, it's only a rough job like mining, how could I, this Chen, be able to obtain the 'slave' title as soon as I entered the manor?"
Hearing his question, Xue Nu replied: "You definitely can!"
"Why?"
"I won't hide it from you, the situation outside has basically stabilized, the Eternal Abyss — — - forget it, you only need to know that we're about to achieve victory"
At this point, Xue Nu instinctively changed the topic and said: "Chen Fifth, it was truly your fortune that I brought you into the manor. You should know that we're only slaves working directly for the Wraith Lord"
Gu Qing Shan smirked and asked: "Brother Xue, what did you say about the Eternal Abyss just now?"
As Xue Nu was about to shake his head, Gu Qing Shan continued: "Big brother Xue, don't hide any information from this little brother, this little brother will still need to follow you from now on. If I act like a country bumpkin and don't know anything after arriving at the manor, wouldn't that be a loss of face for you?"
Xue Nu had just downed a few cups of liquor and patted his chest in agreement, so it wasn't convenient for him to wipe his face right away.
Not to mention, from now on, the other party was also considered to be on his side.
"Very well, I'll tell you, but you can't spread it around" Xue Nu said with a stern expression.
"Don't worry, big brother, I only know you, I won't tell anyone else" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Xue Nu then continued: "The enemy of our world, the Eternal Abyss, is about to be destroyed"
"What exactly is the Eternal Abyss?"
"A very powerful monster — — before it was destroyed, the three rulers of our world naturally worked together, but now that the Eternal Abyss has been defeated and will soon be defeated, the three rulers will begin to compete for the position of the Wraith realm's Lord of War"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Is there only one such position?"
Xue Nu replied: "That's right, we are the slaves of Wraith Lord Fate Obstruction — — all of the slaves in the manor must fight for the Wraith Lord's favor. Once the Wraith Lord becomes the master of the entire Wraith realm, all of us would naturally rise as well"
Gu Qing Shan silently understood.
— — I really made the right choice this time.
Being able to directly enter Wraith Lord Fate Obstruction's manor means that I'll be standing at a very high point, from now on, whether it's to climb up, gather information, or even get in touch with Fei Yue's group of envoys, there will be plenty of opportunities.
Even Zhao Xiao Seng excitedly sent his voice: "Amitabha, this is great, we've directly infiltrated the Wraith Lord's manor!"
— — how difficult of a task was this!
Life Talisman technique, Jade Tree mask, All Beings Equal, the Fate Ability [Longing], as well as the ghostly teleportation, as well as the chaos in the mines, all of these factors combined to make this infiltration possible.
Gu Qing Shan maintained her calm and asked: "Big brother Xue, why was this little brother given the word 'slave' as soon as I entered the manor?"
Xue Nu chuckled, then pointed at Gu Qing Shan: "Weapons, treasure tools, talismans, Guise Hexes, which of them doesn't require precious ores? Your arrival will increase the efficiency of the manor's collection of precious ores, although this isn't particularly crucial to the overall situation, it is still extremely important "
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "This little brother understands"
He once again refilled Xue Nu's cup and prepared to ask a few more questions.
All of a sudden, a subordinate entered the cabin and reported: "Sir Xue, the new manager of the mines has been appointed, he wishes to see you"
"I'm currently drinking with little brother Chen, how could I possibly have the time to see him" Xue Nu impatiently replied.
The subordinate replied: "Do you have any orders, sir? This little brother will convey them "
Xue Nu replied: "Tell him that there is still a team leader left, I didn't manage to kill him in time, let him kill him"
"Understood"
"Also, kill all the injured mining cultivators as a warning, I'd like to see if they still dare to cause trouble from now on"
"Understood"
The subordinate received his order and left.
Xue Nu turned around and smiled at Gu Qing Shan: "Little brother Chen, come, let us continue drinking"
As soon as the two of them raised their cups, Gu Qing Shan suddenly froze.
A black thread silently manifested, one end of which was tied to his arm, while the other end flew through the cabin towards an unknown direction.
This is …
Gu Qing Shan sensed it and immediately sensed a certain connection from the thread.
This connection was as if someone you haven't seen for a long time had suddenly appeared nearby.
As if an old acquaintance had arrived …
Who could it be?
Gu Qing Shan's heart became tense.
This was the Wraith realm, no matter who it was that appeared here, once they were discovered, their fate would be dire.
The airship abruptly shook violently.
Intense fluctuations of power could be felt from afar, followed by an intense gust of wind.
Xue Nu abruptly stood up and shouted: "What's going on? Report the situation immediately! "
A subordinate quickly appeared and quickly reported: "Sir, a spy sent by the Eternal Abyss has been discovered 500 miles ahead!"
"Spy? Who's fighting the enemy? "Xue Nu asked.
"That Abyssal form is very powerful, all the wraiths nearby have gone to surround and intercept it — — sir, what should we do now?" the subordinate asked.
Xue Nu hesitated, then waved his hand: "Leave, I'll think about it first"
"Understood"
The subordinate left.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes flickered, her mind quickly turning.
An Abyssal form!
An Abyssal form has arrived at the Wraith realm!
— — -on the night after defeating the Soul Shrieker, I had a secret conversation with Bali, Boss, Ye Ru Xi, Anna, and Lady Black Sea.
Regarding the spy from the Eternal Abyss …
Boss seemed to have told me a few things.
What did he say?
Gu Qing Shan quickly recalled.
"That's why the Eternal Abyss had also researched a few countermeasures, unfortunately, they weren't put to use in time"
Boss explained at the time.
"Countermeasures? Did you prepare them? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"We used the power of the Eternal Abyss to create a new batch of Abyssal forms, these Abyssal forms have all the characteristics of the wraiths" Boss replied.
"You're trying to infiltrate the enemy's camp?" Bali asked.
Boss nodded: "We chose a group of the most outstanding personnel to carry these Abyssal forms, then used all of our power to send them into the Wraith realm, in order to break the Wraith realm from within"
…
Indeed.
Before the Eternal Abyss awakened, it had already sent its most outstanding personnel to the Wraith realm.
But now that I've entered the Wraith Lord's manor, I'm in a very advantageous position, so there's no need for me to take any risks and do anything else.
I only need to stay hidden and look for a suitable opportunity to accomplish my own objective.
Success or failure is no longer in the hands of the Eternal Abyss.
It's in my hands.
Gu Qing Shan shook his hand, then saw the black thread again.
Wait a minute.
Could it be …
While he was thinking, Xue Nu suddenly asked: "Brother Chen, do you think we should join in on the fun?"
Gu Qing Shan hesitantly said: "Big brother Xue, those who could enter our world must be very powerful ones"
"Indeed" Xue Nu confirmed it.
Gu Qing Shan tried to guess the normal reaction of a mining cultivator, then appeared fearful: "Let's not join in on the fun, let's quickly leave"
Xue Nu smiled: "Ahahaha, very well, let's return to the manor"
While they were talking, a cold female voice resounded across heaven and earth:
"You dare to stop me with just the two of you?"
Boom — — — -
Heaven and earth collapsed, shockwaves spread everywhere.
Gu Qing Shan's body froze in place.
This is …
Lin.
So she had already arrived at the Wraith realm at this point in time!
Gu Qing Shan lowered his head and fell silent.
Intense shockwaves from the battle could be felt from afar, causing the entire airship to shake violently.
The battle was becoming more and more intense.
More and more wraiths were flying towards them from every direction.
They were all heading towards the location of the battle.
"Encircle — — -" someone loudly shouted.
Sensing the battle outside, Xue Nu pridefully said: "The encirclement is complete, that guy won't be able to escape even if he grows wings"
"So quickly?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Xue Nu shook his head: "These Abyssal monsters don't know that we've already noticed their movements and made ample preparations. We've already killed a few waves before — — - this time is no exception"
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
A few moments later.
He slowly stood up.
"Brother Chen, what's the matter?" Xue Nu asked in confusion.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze flickered and fell onto Xue Nu.
He sighed and said: "Fellow Dao seeker Xue, I originally wanted to stay with you for a while longer, becoming a gang of scoundrels until I kill your Wraith Lord — — but now, it seems I'll have to give up on that plan"
"Fellow Dao seeker Xue, let me borrow your head"
A cold gust of wind brushed past Xue Nu's neck.
