"It was me" the man in front of her calmly replied.
Gu Qing Shan observed him and said: "I remember that when you reincarnated, you made a promise with the world spirit"
"It's done" Magic Dragon replied.
"Infiltrating the Wraith realm must have been very difficult" Gu Qing Shan commented.
"Indeed, obtaining a clean identity is very difficult, but I understand the Wraith realm. I remember telling you that we'll meet again someday" Magic Dragon replied.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "You have so many years of cultivation memories, you could have just ignored everything here, why did you insist on returning? Did you forget how you died? "
Magic Dragon went silent.
He seemed to be thinking about something, then slowly spoke up after a while: "I have never forgotten how I died, I want to kill those three Wraith Lords with my own hands"
Gu Qing Shan sighed and shook her head.
She was originally the most talented Wraith realm cultivator, but ended up being sent as a spy and turned into the Bygone Era humanity's War Soul Artifact, Magic Dragon.
Being trapped inside Magic Dragon's body for countless years, then easily betrayed and killed, her entire life was filled with grievances.
No matter who it was, they would want to take revenge.
Gu Qing Shan sheathed her sword and asked: "What's your current identity?"
"I am the strongest Wraith Might under the Wraith Lords, called Corpse Ghost Blood Dragon" Magic Dragon replied.
"That's why you've been observing the situation before, found out that I might have appeared, so you set up a trap and came to see me" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Indeed, that's exactly what happened" Magic Dragon replied.
"What's the current situation in the Wraith realm?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Reneedol is holed up deep inside the Wraith Temple, the remaining angels and wraiths are all guarding that place" Magic Dragon replied.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
The Delimitation sword only had a fragment left, which was transported here by the Wraith realm, but it was unknown where it was hidden.
"Gu Qing Shan, what is your goal in coming to the Wraith realm this time?" Magic Dragon asked.
"I'll do the same as you, kill three Wraith Lords. Once they're dead, the entire Wraith realm will fall into chaos, then I'll think of a way to deal with Reneedol" Gu Qing Shan said.
Magic Dragon nodded: "The power of the three Wraith Lords cannot be underestimated. Moreover, they are by the Grand Empress' side. I've waited for a long time, but I still couldn't find a chance to kill them"
"Oh? That shouldn't be the case. You're in the dark while they're out in the open. There should still be a chance to assassinate you, "Gu Qing Shan said.
Magic Dragon said, "Because they each have the Soul Incense of the other two Wraith Lords. Once one of them dies, the other two Wraith Lords will immediately activate their Immortal Arts to revive him."
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a few moments, then said, "So to kill them, we must kill them all at the same time?"
"Yes, that's right" Magic Dragon said.
"It's very difficult" Gu Qing Shan commented.
"That's why I haven't been able to find a chance. Now that you're part of this, I want to hear your opinion" Magic Dragon said.
Ignoring everything else, Gu Qing Shan's mind was quite sharp, and Magic Dragon had a deep impression of this.
Gu Qing Shan paced back and forth in the mine, then said after a while: "I need to get in contact with them, to see how strong they are"
"A Wraith Lord usually doesn't have any strangers by their side" Magic Dragon shook his head.
"I'll say one person, if you help me capture him, I'll have a way to obtain his identity and help you kill a Wraith Lord" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Who?"
"Cang Wu Zhang"
"… That Wraith Lord's son?"
"Yes"
Magic Dragon pondered for a bit, then asked: "Are you sure?"
"70% sure" Gu Qing Shan didn't give him a definite answer and continued: "The Wraith realm's defenses are too tight, this is the only way for me to infiltrate the higher-ups of the Wraith realm"
Magic Dragon thought for a bit.
70% sure.
That's quite a lot.
He then asked: "Do you want him dead or alive?"
"Either is fine, but don't let anyone notice" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Alright, leave this to me, wait for my news" Magic Dragon said.
A flash of warp appeared on his body.
A second later, Magic Dragon was warped away.
Silence returned to the tunnel once again.
Gu Qing Shan waited for a bit, then released her inner sight to scan through the entire mine as well as the mine outside.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
Only then did he sigh, took out a bottle of drink, and slowly drank it.
Boss's voice suddenly came: "You didn't tell him our goal"
"When we see someone we're particularly familiar with, if we're still wearing a mask, our first reaction would be to take off the mask and recognize them, do you agree with this?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Boss thought briefly, then replied: "I agree"
"But he hasn't, he's always been wearing a mask" Gu Qing Shan said.
"What about that?" Boss asked.
"He's very cautious, subconsciously cautious and wants to hide himself" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Because of this, you don't trust him?" Boss asked.
"Not really trust, after all, we were enemies in the past life, and it's been too long since we've met in this life, I don't know what he's been through, what he's thinking, or what he's currently doing. I only know that he hates the Wraith realm and has always wanted to take revenge, I don't know anything else" Gu Qing Shan sincerely replied.
"You're also a very cautious person" Boss commented.
"It can't be helped, one wrong step and I'll be doomed forever, so I have to be careful" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Then what do we do now?" Boss asked.
"Let's wait and see, we still need to show him a bit of our strength, otherwise, he'll feel like we're not treating him as one of our own. If he truly becomes our ally, I'll naturally welcome him" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"What about the Delimitation sword?" Boss asked again.
"We'll take it one step at a time, we still have Lin, she's definitely trustworthy, perhaps she knows where the Delimitation sword is" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The two of them silently waited in the dark mine.
Time slowly passed.
A few hours passed in a flash.
All of a sudden, a flash of light appeared in the mine.
Magic Dragon appeared again, holding an unconscious man in his hand.
Gu Qing Shan stepped forward and took off the man's mask.
It was Cang Wu Zhang!
"You're quite impressive, I had to expend a lot of effort to kill him back then, but he still managed to revive me" Gu Qing Shan praised.
"I've been hanging out with him every day, we've been brothers for several dozen years now" Magic Dragon coldly replied.
A sword appeared in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
"We can't kill him! As soon as he dies, the three Wraith Lords will immediately notice "Magic Dragon hurriedly said.
"Ah? That sounds quite troublesome, do you have a way to keep him unconscious? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I can, what do you want to do?" Magic Dragon asked.
Gu Qing Shan reached her hand out and plucked a strand of hair from Cang Wu Zhang's head.
A split second later.
Gu Qing Shan's appearance slowly changed and soon turned into Cang Wu Zhang's appearance.
Magic Dragon looked at the unconscious Cang Wu Zhang, then at Gu Qing Shan.
"That's possible, but there's a huge problem"
"What is it?"
"Cang Wu Zhang's mask is the best in the entire Wraith realm, it's fused with his inner sight, making it impossible for anyone to take it away. If you want to disguise as him, you'll have to do it without the mask"
Before Magic Dragon could finish his sentence, he abruptly stopped.
The black and green wraith hex and wraith avatar on Gu Qing Shan's mask quickly disappeared, returning to a pure white.
A second later, countless vibrant colors filled the entire mask, forming a solemn and dignified appearance.
This mask was exactly the same as the one in Cang Wu Zhang's hand!
Crack.
A faint sound.
A few cracks appeared on Cang Wu Zhang's wraith mask.
Magic Dragon muttered: "You've always had countless trump cards"
"No, it's just that you haven't seen me for so long that you don't understand my current situation" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Back on the Divine Mountain of Sumeru, when Cang Wu Zhang fought against both me and Shifu by himself, his Guise Hex was truly powerful.
I wonder what kind of power it would gain after being upgraded by the Samsara Wraith Mask?
Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell onto the void of space.
Lines of glowing text appeared to display the mask's information.
[Sky Demon Mask]
[This mask contains the Guise Hex technique: Fu Capital's Seven Wraiths]
[This hex will automatically be used in battle. As soon as an enemy attacks, seven afterimages will appear to counterattack with equal force]
[Attention: This is the most powerful yaksha mask]
[If you activate the Samsara Wraith Mask's Divine Skill: 'Jade Tree Deep Shadow', this Guise Hex technique will be upgraded by one level and attached to the Samsara Wraith Mask]
[You've chosen to activate 'Jade Tree Deep Shadow']
All the glowing text disappeared, and a new notification appeared in the void:
[You've activated 'Jade Tree Deep Shadow']
[The Sky Demon Mask has been upgraded by one level]
[This mask contains the Guise Hex technique: Nine Serenities Yin Ghost]
[This hex will automatically be used in battle. As soon as an enemy attacks, nine afterimages will appear to counterattack with equal force]
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but freeze.
This is …
This is too powerful!
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "Such a powerful Guise Hex, why didn't the three Wraith Lords use it?"
Magic Dragon scoffed mockingly and replied: "That brat Cang Wu Zhang was able to gain the favor of the Grand Empress. The Grand Empress felt that the Wraith Mask was too ugly and didn't want to wear it, so she bestowed it to him"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, just how powerful are the Fu Capital's Seven Wraiths? Yet they ended up in his hands, and it was the Empress' will, so no one dared to steal them"
Magic Dragon stared closely at Gu Qing Shan and muttered: "I didn't think you'd be able to take the Fu Capital's Seven Wraiths and put them on your own mask"
Gu Qing Shan lowered her head and said nothing.
All of a sudden, a flame manifested next to him.
Another voice resounded from within the flame:
"Wait a minute, you said he could gain Reneedol's favor?"
