As soon as she entered the cathedral, a thick smell of blood and burnt flesh could be felt.
Gu Qing Shan scowled and looked around.
Only to see that there were evil creatures whose bodies had been sunk into the walls of the cathedral, still struggling to break free.
They couldn't die, they could only stay eternally soaked in the boiling lava.
With expressions of pain and despair, the evil creatures opened their mouths and tried to scream.
But they couldn't make any sound at all.
It was as if the cathedral had taken away their voices as well.
The terrifying scene of silence could be seen on every wall of the church.
The middle-aged man noticed Gu Qing Shan's gaze and smiled: "Those who like to play tricks always end up in a bad state, don't you think?"
"Every day that the evil creatures don't play tricks makes them feel uncomfortable" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"It's rare to find a guest as self-aware as you, sir Ruler"
While they were talking, an evil creature with scales all over its body stopped.
He looked at the wall in surprise and called out: "Old friend, why are you here?"
In front of him, an evil creature had been sunk into the wall, leaving only its limbs and head sticking out.
『Save me, old friend, get me out of here』 the evil creature loudly called out for help.
『This is the lava cathedral, I can't do anything』
『Help me beg the Lord of Total Distortion, as long as he's willing to help, I'm willing to offer my everything!』
『Your everything? Hm, your goods … that's a good idea …』
The evil creature with scales all over its body appeared greedy and quickly left the cathedral.
From the looks of it, he knew exactly where the other party's goods were kept.
There were a lot of evil creatures coming and going inside the cathedral, it could even be described as bustling with activity, but no one paid any attention to this.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and followed the middle-aged man through the main hall, down a long hallway, up a flight of stairs, and into a small room.
Although the room was small, it had all kinds of furniture, there was even a small fireplace.
『This is a private room specially made to serve the Ruler』
The middle-aged man clapped his hands.
A long table was immediately filled with steaming hot dishes, as well as a large ice bucket filled with 7-8 bottles of liquor.
The middle-aged man politely replied: 「 You came all the way from the Xie Qi Fiend Realm, please take a moment to rest, there is another Lord in front of you, once the Appraiser is done with him, he will come to see you 」
"Thank you." Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He walked to the table, picked a bottle of wine at random, opened it, and poured himself a glass.
The Chaos Demonic Sea's Appraiser was very famous, and he usually only worked for Demonic Lords. He was an incredible Mystic-type Master.
Since there was only one lord in front of him, he would just have to wait.
The middle-aged man smiled, closed the door, and left.
It didn't take long.
When Gu Qing Shan was drinking the fifth glass of wine, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Gu Qing Shan put down her glass and said.
The door opened.
A graceful old man walked in from the outside.
— — Once a devil reached a higher order, they would also like to disguise themselves as a human to hide their original race and identity.
Human form took up very little space, not to mention, from experience, using human form to communicate was very convenient.
Taking human form was also a common high-level skill that only a high-ranking devil or fiend could use.
「 Welcome, Xie Qi Fiend King, your battle prowess was very impressive, if I didn't see the power of Elemental Lightning, I would have mistaken you for a human 」 the old man smiled and said.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and said nothing.
— — I can't lie.
The old man asked again: 「 Then, why did you come to the Chaos Demonic Sea as soon as you obtained two evil realms? 」
「 Esteemed Appraiser, I came here to issue a quest 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
Hearing that, the old man seemed a bit disinterested: 「 Ah? A quest? That's very simple, I will have my subordinates do it for you 」
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'm afraid I'll need your help with this"
He took out a small bag and tossed it to the other party.
The old man received the bag, weighed it a bit, and smiled: 「 I can feel how heavy it is, it seems your quest isn't as simple as it seems, please tell me what kind of quest you want me to issue 」
「 Save the artifact spirit 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
Gu Qing Shan took out a long rectangular box and lightly placed it on the table.
He put his hand on the box and spoke in a low voice:
「 One of my weapons is inside, it's about to die, I want to ask if there are any fiends or fiends that can use a unique power to repair it 」
The old man suddenly became interested and spoke in a low voice:
「 So that's how it is, artifact spirits are rare in the first place, even I don't have much experience in saving them — — - such a quest is truly rare, it's worth it for me to act once 」
He chanted an incantation: 「 Mystical Search Catalog, manifest 」
Poof!
A large book appeared out of thin air and hovered in front of the two of them.
This was a famous Mystic-type ability that belonged solely to the Appraiser.
「 Put your hand on the book and state your request 」 the old man said.
Gu Qing Shan then put her hand on the surface of the large book and said: 「 I want to save my weapon 」
The large book didn't move at all, nor did it make any sound.
The old man regretfully spoke: 「 It seems no fiend or fiend in the entire Chaos Demonic Sea has the ability to save a weapon 」
「 I can settle for the next best thing and issue a slightly simpler quest 」 Gu Qing Shan said.
「 What is that? 」 the old man asked.
「 Ensure that the weapon doesn't die for now 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
The old man nodded and gestured for her to continue.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan was completely tense.
The Earth sword can only live for one more day.
If there's no way to delay its death, it'll be over.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath, put her hand on the thick book, and spoke in a low voice: 「 I want to delay the death of this weapon of mine so that it won't break for now 」
The thick book remained still.
A breath's worth of time passed.
The book began to shake intensely.
Bam!
It pulled away Gu Qing Shan's hand, flipped through the pages, and finally stopped at a certain page.
It was a blank page, but the old man smiled.
「 Seems like there are fiends and fiends who can do this 」 he said.
"Really?" Gu Qing Shan was overjoyed.
「 Indeed, I want to see who has this ability, please wait a moment 」
The old man took out a quill and placed it on the blank page.
As soon as the quill touched the page, it jumped up and began to write detailed information on it.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't understand what the quill was writing at all.
After the quill finished writing, the old man began to read the contents of the book: 「 Black Bone Witch King, Mystic-type Skill, Death Delay 」
"Where's the Black Bone Witch King?" Gu Qing Shan immediately asked.
The old man made a strange expression and replied: 「 I think you probably don't know, but he's the same as I am, a subordinate of our master 」
「 But he's not part of a business department like mine, he's part of a combat department, without the master's permission, he can't act 」
"What do you mean?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 You have to come with me to meet the master, if the master agrees, this deal will only be completed 」 the old man replied.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Meet the Lord of Total Distortion?
Even the Blood Demon Duke and the Holy Pure Priestess didn't want to have anything to do with this terrifying guy.
The old man continued: 「 In consideration of your generosity, I'll remind you to prepare enough compensation, otherwise, if the master doesn't like it, you might just become another decoration on the cathedral wall 」
Gu Qing Shan muses: "What kind of compensation would be considered enough?"
The old man replied: 「 I can only give you a reference. Last time, an evil creature used 12 ships full of Soul Blood Diamonds to ask the master to help him with a certain matter, but that evil creature is still hanging on the outer wall of the cathedral 」
"…" Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
Although he brought all the precious treasures of the two evil realms with him, he left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to bring a lot of things — — - after all, the two evil realms were too vast.
Then, how should I pay enough compensation?
He silently pondered.
Seeing that, the old man spoke: 「 Have you made up your mind? If you give up now, I won't report this to the master, you won't need to take any risks either, you only need to pay a small consultation fee and you can leave 」
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Please help me report this"
The old man nodded: 「 Very well, you can wait here 」
He opened the door and left.
A few moments later.
The sound of knocking came from outside again.
「 The Xie Qi Ruler? 」 someone asked.
"It's me" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The door opened.
Two beautiful female beasts in formal attire stood on both sides of the door.
They bowed to greet Gu Qing Shan and smiled:
「 The master has received your request, please follow me 」
Gu Qing Shan followed them out.
The scene outside the door had changed.
At some unknown point, the broken staircase and empty passage outside this room had disappeared.
Instead, a luxurious hall had appeared.
Luxurious carpets covered the ground.
Fragrant flowers filled the entire hall.
There were no walls on all sides, allowing her to see the entire ocean.
The howling wind and torrential rain howled in anger, but they couldn't enter this place.
Gu Qing Shan could even see two gigantic figures furiously fighting each other on the surface of the ocean.
They were two demonic sea creatures.
Ooo — — — —
The demonic sea creatures' cries were filled with brutal killing intent.
Gu Qing Shan finally understood.
So at some point, the room she was in had already reached the top of the cathedral.
This was the palace that belonged to the Lord of Total Distortion.
Gu Qing Shan followed the two beautiful female beasts all the way to the bottom of the long flight of stairs.
A powerful evil creature was already waiting here.
And on top of the stairs, the other evil Ruler was carefully making his way up.
— — -the end of the stairs was blocked by an invisible layer of darkness, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
「 Please wait a moment, there are two other Rulers in front of you who wish to see the master 」
The two female beasts smiled at Gu Qing Shan and retreated.
Gu Qing Shan and the other evil Ruler were waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
He glanced at the evil Ruler.
The other party's face was pale, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he was extremely nervous.
「 What did you come here to ask for? 」 the evil Ruler asked.
"Something related to weapons, what about you?" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 There's something wrong with my body 」 the evil Ruler replied.
The two of them nodded to each other and said nothing else.
They both realized what was going on.
— — -there was no room for lies here.
So it was best to stop talking.
