Chapter 29: My King Returns
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Facing the relentless questioning of the five players, the fire within the Soul Liberating Envoy’s eyes
gradually flared up. Finally, with a swipe of his hands, a mass of black vapor appeared to surround the
five, locking them within before levitating them off the ground.
“Do you all know how the Ghost Supreme Commander who was stationed here died?” the Soul
Liberating Envoy tested the waters in hopes of getting an answer.
The head Berserker struggled for a while, but once he discovered that he was unable to escape, he
looked at his companions helplessly.
“Huh? The Mysterious Merchant wants to show off his capabilities before making a trade?”
“Cough… boss, I’ve never met him before either, so I don’t know how the process is supposed to go.”
“Then… should we praise him a bit to make him happy? So he’ll give us a discount?”
Hearing the players’ conversation, the Soul Liberating Envoy lost any hope whatsoever. With another
wave of his hand, the black vapor began to surge and fold, crushing the five people within to pieces.
Observing the souls and soul power disappear mysteriously once again, the Soul Liberating Envoy’s
expression looked thoughtful. In a flash, he had transformed into a dark shadow that streaked toward
the Mansion of the Dead with the speed of lightning.
……
Everything that had happened here had naturally been seen by Bei Li who was on a 24/7 watch and
she reported the situation swiftly to Lu Wu.
“Seems like Cha Na has sent people in for an investigation, but where exactly did this Soul Liberating
Envoy come from?”
Bei Li rested her chin on her hands as she sat before the computer table, munching on junk food.
“The Soul Liberating Envoy is the next highest position after the Ghost General under the Ghost King
and is in charge of collecting Yin souls to turn it over to them. Every Ghost King and Ghost General has
a Soul Liberating Envoy beneath them and their powers differ from one to another, but they’re skillful in
blood sacrifice spells.”
“Yin souls? What’s that?” Lu Wu asked curiously.
“It’s something like money in the real world, I guess. After all, normal people aren’t able to collect this
kind of soul power and Beiqi has a lot of districts that produce Yin souls. Yin souls are different from
default souls in the sense that it’s more like a kind of material used in cultivation, but it can also be
used to construct weaponry and equipment. It just has a lot of uses, that’s all you need to know.”
Lu Wu nodded his head, “So that means that Ghost Kings and Ghost Generals don’t occupy the area
around the Mansion of the Dead because this area doesn’t produce Yin souls?”
Bei Li shoved a handful of junk food into her mouth and answered with her mouth full, “Mm, that’s right.
Although the Mansion of the Dead is the capital of Beiqi, it’s the most lacking in resources.”
Even though he now knew the Soul Liberating Envoy’s origins and the motives of his visit, Lu Wu had
no idea how to deal with him. Hence, he looked toward Bei Li who was still stuffing her face.
“Don’t look at me, I don’t know either. Soul Liberating Envoys are able to blend into the shadows and
with the capabilities of the players, he’d be really hard to kill, eh.”
Seeing as Bei Li did not know how to handle this problem as well, Lu Wu fell into silence.
At this moment, Bei Li pointed a finger at the computer screen, “Wu, look at this. They’re discussing
this on the forum.”
Lu Wu took a step forward and immediately saw the post that the players had just put up.
MetalBull: “Who can tell me why an NPC would be so unreasonable. I thought I was in luck when I met
the Mysterious Merchant, but I ended up empty-handed and even got killed. Someone tell me why. I’m
currently in an existential crisis mode.”
A few screenshots were attached underneath the post from the player showing the Soul Liberating
Envoy.
Where_is_Mundo: “[Facepalm] Bro, are you retarded? Even if this guy looks like the Mysterious
Merchant, can you please tell me which part of him made you sure that he was actually him? Can’t you
see that he’s a skeleton?”
Soda_Water: “OMG, bro, you met this fellow, too. My group of three met him in Liuli District as well
when we were beast-taming. This isn’t the Mysterious Merchant at all, he’s a subordinate of Ghost
General Cha Na. You’ve got real big balls, man. You actually served yourself up to die, I salute that.”
My_CutieKing: “Where? Where’s Cha Na’s subordinate? This mage has reached Divine Skill Level 2
and is expected to be able to lead an army soon. Let me bring some Yin soldiers to slaughter him!”
ArrogantWolf replying to My_Cutie King: “Hey, the little mage above me, how are you so cocky? Do
you need me to take you out in single combat in the wild with my sword to teach you a lesson?”
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
My_CutieKing replying to ArrogantWolf: “Mages are peerless in single combat. We are the best, the
absolute coolest and we destroy brainless berserkers. You better pray that we don’t meet in the wild,
because I’ll show you what death by numbers mean.”
SwordSkill_Master replying to My_Cutie King: “Stop tooting your own horn. Mages are awesome now,
but don’t you know that there’s a different god in different versions of the game? Just you wait till we
switch characters, then only one of us will be needed to beat your mage asses!”
……
Seeing the comments and replies of the players, Lu Wu could only laugh. Mages’ skills had been
allowed to elevate lately so many mages who had been down in the dumps for the longest time had
gotten arrogant. After all, with the Yin Soldier Summoning Skill, mages in the wild were indeed
excellent in single combat.
Just as she wanted to continue scrolling through the comments on the forum, Bei Li’s facial expression
suddenly changed.
“He’s here, he’s at the Mansion of the Dead!”
Hearing this, Lu Wu’s mind entered his artifact and began observing through the connection between
the artifact and the Mansion of the Dead.
He saw a dark shadow floating nearby the Mansion of the Dead which darted into the Mansion.
……
Looking at the Mansion of the Dead in the midst of renovation, the Soul Liberating Envoy’s heart was
filled with terror.
Yet, he still could not believe it, he could not believe that that dead king was still alive. He had watched
him die with his own eyes and he could even remember the feeling of dissipation of the King of Beiqi’s
soul power clearly.
Thus, the Soul Liberating Envoy spent a long time hovering by the entrance before he grit his teeth and
went in anyway, deciding to take a look for himself.
After a walk around, the Soul Liberating Envoy fell into shock once again.
The damage he had once seen done to the outer structure of the Mansion of the Dead was now as
perfect as it had been before, even the little details and marks were there. If he did not know better, he
would have thought that the King of Beiqi had returned.
Yet, he could not understand why all the other buildings apart from the Sutra depository had
disappeared.
Of course, this was because Lu Wu only had enough soul coins to restore the Sutra depository. The
Soul Liberating Envoy could never have imagined that this was because Lu Wu did not have enough
soul coins to restore the buildings like the material storage room and the weaponry room.
As he watched the Soul Liberating Envoy float around the Mansion of the Dead, Lu Wu thought of
something. Subsequently, by controlling his artifact, a figure slowly formed within the Mansion of the
Dead.
“Who is it!” feeling the sudden condensation of Yin energy, the Soul Liberating Envoy turned sharply to
a spot within the Mansion of the Dead.
“Who do you think I am?” a dignified voice sounded from the figure.
At this moment, stormy clouds covered the sky and the large amount of Yin energy turned into a
tornado that blew across the Mansion of the Dead continuously. At the same time, the figure began
materializing more clearly.
“The King of Beiqi! No, that’s impossible!” the Soul Liberating Envoy was stunned and his body started
to tremble uncontrollably.
Raising his head to look at the Yin energy blowing and howling through the sky, the Soul Liberating
Envoy suddenly lowered his head and kneeled.
“Du Yan welcomes the return of my King!”
“Do you know what the punishment is for betrayal?” Lu Wu uttered in a low voice.
His voice reverberated in the Mansion of the Dead through transmission of Yin energy, causing the
terrified Soul Liberating Envoy to tremble even more.
“I am guilty and am willing to die for my sins. I hope my King will spare my soul from suffering in
consideration of my many years of servitude!” the Soul Liberating Envoy replied as he trembled in fear.
Hearing this, Lu Wu paused in astonishment. He had only just come up with this idea of playing a trick
on him, but he had not known that the Soul Liberating Envoy would be so easily scared to the point that
he would willingly commit suicide to atone for his sins.
