Chapter 1308: The wraiths are here!

“What kind of person is that a.s.sistant actually?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Person?” Xiao Die was obviously in a good mood, so she replied: “I’ll remind you again, both she and I are not humans, we’re merely taking human forms right now”

“Why do you have to do that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Xiao Die replied: “As you know, the human form is the most convenient for interspecies communication. Many monsters of the void take a humanoid form not only because the smaller human form is easier for them to disguise themselves compared to their original gigantic bodies, but also because it is easier for them to avoid the Apocalypses”

Thinking of something, she chuckled: “There was once a Worm Hole Revenant who took human form and was in a relations.h.i.+p with a female void fish for 5 years—— in truth, Revenants eat drifting void fishes as their main source of food——- but neither of them knew the other party’s real form until after 5 years”

Thinking of that situation, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “Then, did the Revenant end up eating the female void fish?”

Xiao Die replied: “No, he let her go, then she used her own experience as a basis to write an overbearing CEO novel, it was a best-seller”

Gu Qing Shan rubbed his temples.

That sounds like an entire mess and a half.

“Alright, never mind the rest, what race is that a.s.sistant then?” Gu Qing Shan took the topic back on track.

Xiao Die mysteriously replied: “Don’t ask about that, she’s very cautious. She doesn’t like others prying into her personal matters, and we don’t need to offend her over such a small matter”

As she talked, Xiao Die seemed to sense something and abruptly waved her hand.

The phonograph disappeared.

The music and talking voices also faded.

The sound of a barking dog could be heard.

Followed by a hearty voice:

“This humble one is You Tian Gui, a Wraith Might from the Wraith realm, hereby paying a visit following the Wraith Lord’s orders. May I ask if Lady Die is present?”

A human from the Wraith realm.

Xiao Die and Gu Qing Shan exchanged glances.

They sure came quickly.

This You Tian Gui doesn’t seem to be from the same side as Cang Wu Zhang, most likely a subordinate of another Wraith Lord.

Gu Qing Shan silently thought

“Come in” Xiao Die casually said.

The door slowly opened.

A man in full armor and yaksha mask entered.

He looked at Xiao Die, then at Gu Qing Shan.

“It was my impertinence to come here without being invited, hopefully, Lady Xie does not mind it” You Tian Gui said.

“I don’t seem to have any connections to your Wraith realm, what did you come here for?” Xiao Die asked.

At this point, two curt screams could be heard from outside.

Someone reported: “Sir You, we’ve investigated the memories of these two gardeners. When the matter occurred, that Hitman was with Lady Die, they did not leave”

You Tian Gui listened with an unchanged expression, keeping his gaze fixed on Gu Qing Shan.

He was a bit unconvinced.

Xiao Die slammed her table in anger, questioning: “What did you do to the gardeners outside? You dared touch my people at my place?”

You Tian Gui explained; “Those two gardeners were not people of the Ominous Demon Tower, nor were they Lady Die’s personal subordinates. They were simply artisans from the Deep Green Flower World, that’s why we used them for our investigation”

He then took a step forward, asking Gu Qing Shan: “This… Unsolvable rank Hitman, you seemed to be quite self-confident yesterday, weren’t you? Getting into a conflict with our Elder Du?”

Gu Qing Shan slowly stood up and casually replied: “If the people of the City Lord’s manor did not stop me, he would have already been dead”

A sword appeared in his hand.

Faint killing intent drifted from his body.

Hearing this, You Tian Gui was a bit shocked.

——does he not know that Elder Du is dead?

When being questioned, the culprit would not normally show how much he wishes to kill the target.

Furthermore…

A mere Unsolvable rank Hitman dare talk to me this way?

Gu Qing Shan coldly scoffed: “Are you thinking something like ‘a mere Unsolvable rank Hitman dares talk to you this way’?”

He took a step forward and continued: “But in reality, you’re nothing special”

You Tian Gui’s killing intent shot up and was about to draw his weapon when Xiao Die spoke up.

Xiao Die said: “He’s a relative of our Ominous Demon Tower, my family member”

Gu Qing Shan continued to grin “I’ve only just arrived at Void City, that’s why I’m just Unsolvable rank. If you aren’t afraid to die, how about we go outside and fight?”

Xiao Die narrowed her eyes: “If you want to do anything to members of our Ominous Demon Tower, you had better be prepared to have a little talk with our Tower Master; but you know that, don’t you?”

You Tian Gui paused slightly; a bit unable to keep up.

Gu Qing Shan walked out, kicked the door open, and stood on the empty field outside.

“Come on, fight me, then we’ll see who’s better!” he loudly shouted.

You Tian Gui did not move.

Normally, people who are this rampant would usually die very soon or are truly skilled.

However, isn’t that temper a bit too easy to ignite…

Then, he should be relying on the power of the Ominous Demon Tower.

——-no wonder he had the gall to turn on Elder Du right away.

Usually, he shouldn’t be the culprit.

However… I should still test his strength.

If there’s a difference in power, I can exclude him.

But if he truly is strong enough to kill Elder Du and his subordinates in just a few seconds, this matter would be a lot more complicated.

——even more importantly, this person is related to the Ominous Demon Tower.

In that case, I’d have to report to the Wraith Lord for him to make the final verdict on what to do.

Having decided, You Tian Gui drew a pike from behind his back and said: “Very well, then I will——-”

Before he even finished his words, Xiao Die had already taken out a glowing b.u.t.terfly speaking into it: “Tower Master, the Wraith realm humans charged into my home… Hm… yes… yes… they want to kill my family member”

You Tian Gui immediately put his pike away, shouting: “Wait! Lady Die, I’m only here to take a look and greet you, I have no intentions to bother you or your family member at all”

Xiao Die coldly looked at him and asked: “Truly?”

The person outside was still shouting for everyone to hear: “You d.a.m.n puppy, get out here and fight with your grandpa!”

You Tian Gui’s veins were almost popping on top of his head, took a deep breath, then slowly replied: “It is true, I’m only here for greetings”

—–I don’t have any proof.

While the other party had gotten angry, I absolutely cannot touch a family member of the Ominous Demon Tower.

The ominous demons have always been unreasonable, if all of those ominous demons are disturbed at once, even the Wraith Lord would feel a headache.

After all, their means of threatening are nothing but unprecedented.

The three Wraith Lords had not found a suitable way to counteract that yet.

Xiao Die scoffed: “Remember your words. If I see you bullying my family members, I won’t be regarding formalities”

“I understand, then his humble one shall bid farewell” You Tian Gui said.

He turned around and quickly left the room.

The person outside was still swinging his sword, shouting: “Do not run———”

“Goodbye”

You Tian Gui leapt into the air, about to leave.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the void of s.p.a.ce, lightly pus.h.i.+ng him back down.

You Tian Gui found himself once again standing on the ground.

As he looked back, both of his shoulders had been held down.

Several dozen robust men had surrounded him.

“Brat, was it you who bullied our people?”

A man wearing a T-s.h.i.+rt with a cartoon bear printed on it abruptly shouted.

You Tian Gui began sweating bullets.

“Tower Master sir, it’s like this, one of our Elders was killed, the culprit managed to do it in a few seconds…”

“But before that occurred, we found that this—– this—– erm, Lady Die’s man, seemed to have had a little skirmish with our Elder”

“…This was a misunderstanding. Since I found that Lady Die and her man had been staying home for the entirety of last night, it was definitely not her man who did it…”

“In summary, it was my misjudgment and recklessness, I hope that you gentlemen can understand”

“Hah, this was all done following our Wraith Lord’s orders, I’m merely a worker, please have mercy on us servants”

He quickly explained everything, as well as hurriedly listing his hards.h.i.+p, putting himself at the lowest possible status.

Dead silence.

Boundless killing intent drifted from these robust men’s bodies, appearing almost solid.

Such killing intent!

You Tian Gui trembled as he wiped his sweat, then tried sighing: “Everyone, this humble one truly did not mean to offend”

But the robust men all shook their heads.

One of them suddenly questioned in a loud hearty voice: 「 Just now, you said… Xiao Die and her man has been staying home all night? 」

All the ominous demons stared straight at You Tian Gui.

If not to ask for a confirmation, they would have already crushed this little wraith.

Standing in the middle of them all, You Tian Gui felt like he was about to die.

He clenched his teeth and pointed at Gu Qing Shan: “That’s right, his suspicions can already be cleared, his humble one bets that it wasn’t him who did it——– this humble one will not try to investigate him again, this humble one swears!”

A second later, all the ominous demons turned around, their gazes focused on Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan felt every strand of hair on his entire body standing up.

Why… do I feel like I’m about to die?

A voice suddenly spoke up from inside the house:

“Who said that he was my man?”

Xiao Die walked forward, scoffing at You Tian Gui: “You’re seriously investigating something with those discerning eyes? This is clearly my younger brother”

As soon as that was said.

Gu Qing Shan immediately felt himself becoming alive again.

He quickly understood, then immediately shouted out loud: “Of course, I’m her younger brother——- what is everyone staring at me for?”

The robust men have all smiled brightly towards Gu Qing Shan.

“Ah, what a handsome little one, would you like to become an ominous demon?”

The Tower Master asked, representing everyone.
