Chapter 1313: How could it be you, sir?

As he pulled on its comb, the colorful rooster came to life.

It spread both wings and stretched its back, then turned towards Gu Qing Shan.

“What is it, I was in the middle of my beauty sleep, can’t you youngster give a chicken some peace and quiet?” the rooster complained.

Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: “It’s nothing, I was just thinking about giving you a bit of Soul Points, but it sounds like you don’t need it after all”

Saying so, he acted like he wanted to put the colorful rooster away.

The colorful rooster hurriedly flapped its wings, trying to smooth things out: “My! My young grandpa! If you have something you need, just call, there’s no need to give me Soul Points, you’re too kind”

Gu Qing Shan glanced at his Soul Points value.

——-he didn’t only obtain 300 million Soul Points from killing the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate.

At that time, to fight against the elemental giant within that Apocalypse illusion, he had also taken the Orange Sovereign form and ate a lot of dried salted fish.

Each of those dried salted fish contained a piece of the giant’s essence of power, which was all converted into pure Soul Points by the [Orange Sovereign Transformation] ability.

Even though I’ve used a bit, I still have a bit over 300 million in total.

Having money always feels good.

Gu Qing Shan directly infused the rooster with 100,000 Soul Points.

Having been refreshed by Soul Points, the rooster became considerably more spirited.

It delightfully said: “Brother, I knew you were a fine person. From now on, your matter is this chicken’s matter”

Gu Qing Shan asked: “I want to know information about this world”

The rooster was troubled: “I can only tell you information related to yourself”

“That’s fine as well, please” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The rooster spoke: “Your life will soon be in a lot of danger. Not only is the Apocalypse slowly approaching closer to you, but a hidden enemy will also arrive at the Gloom Galaxy in 10 seconds, he will do everything to kill you”

“You must be careful, that wraith has an official ident.i.ty, a hidden p.a.w.n of the Wraith realm in Void City. Same as the Apocalypse, he wishes to take your life”

After stating that, the rooster turned back into a statue and became stationary.

Gu Qing Shan slowly put the statue away.

“Arriving in 10 seconds… then, someone from the Wraith realm will also arrive?” he muttered.

Suddenly, an asteroid descended from above.

It was heading straight towards Gu Qing Shan’s direction.

Boom——-

The asteroid made a huge crater right in front of where Gu Qing Shan was standing.

An incubus-like pretty man climbed out from the crater.

A rapier hung right at his hip, scorning the experience: “Can’t this warp gate be improved at least a little?”

——Curt Death Silver Crow.

Another man swiftly climbed out after him, saying: “Give it up, this kind of teleportation had been this way for several hundred years without changing”

This was a man with a faint smile on his face, currently wearing a baggy white robe and a white fan in his hand.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the two of them.

Arrived after 10 seconds.

Wraith.

An official ident.i.ty

The rooster said ‘that wraith’, meaning only one of these two was the actual wraith.

—–so are they Curt Death Silver Crow, or the unknown man?

While pondering, Gu Qing Shan acted surprised and asked:

“Crow, why are you here?”

Crow lazily replied: “It’s been a long time since I accepted a large-scaled interworld mission, so I came to stretch my legs a bit”

Gu Qing Shan looked to the man next to him, asking: “So that’s why, and this person next to you——”

Crow replied: “A guy from the Bounty Hunter Guild, also a t.i.tled rank Combatant. He set off at the same time I did”

The man then clasped his fist towards Gu Qing Shan and said: “h.e.l.lo, I’m White Eagle – Gong Wu of the Bounty Hunter Guild, who might you be?”

Gu Qing Shan didn’t care about him and instead asked Crow: “What’s your mission?”

Crow took out his ID card and replied: “Head to the nearest location to provide aid—— there’s supposedly a human gathering point Northward of where we are, called Gloom Flame Town”

“Alright, then let’s go” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Ah, sure”

Crow and Gu Qing Shan both turned in the same direction and started heading out.

Neither of them paid any further attention to the Hunter.

White Eagle – Gong Wu stood completely frozen.

He hesitated for a moment, then abruptly shouted in anger: “b.a.s.t.a.r.d, a low-level Hitman dares look down on me like that, I’ll make you pay!”

——-if this Dragon King of Atrocity Jail is weak, then I’ll just kill him off!

On the contrary, if he’s strong enough to hold me off, he might be the culprit who killed Elder Du.

In that case, I’ll report to the Wraith Lord right away.

White Eagle – Gong Wu waved the white fan in his hand and prepared to unleash a spell.

At the same time, Crow and Gu Qing Shan both stopped.

“Is this Hunter dumb or something, being so petty with an Unsolvable Hitman from our Guild”

Crow mumbled in annoyance, drew his rapier, then headed back to face him.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t say a word.

He silently watched as Crow took on the t.i.tled Hunter.

A t.i.tled Hitman and a t.i.tled Hunter, which one of them is a wraith?

Seeing Crow heading for him, White Eagle – Gong Wu’s killing intent stopped.

This isn’t my target.

And he isn’t weak either.

It would be disadvantageous if I fought him and became wounded here.

White Eagle – Gong Wu waved his long fan without meaning to fight, clashed against Crow a few times, then retreated.

“Crow, I’m not going to fight you; but remember well, you can protect him now, but you can’t protect him for his entire life!” White Eagle – Gong Wu threatened.

His gaze fell on Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression was unchanged.

I’ve already gone for a drink with Crow and chatted for a bit, so we’re relatively well-acquainted.

If Crow was a wraith, why did he have put up that act at the City Lord’s manor?

On the other hand, if the Wraith realm wanted to put up a fake act at the City Lord’s manor, wouldn’t that mean I ruined their plan?

Crow has seen me fight; he knows my sword counters their Causality Laws.

In that case, if he was truly a wraith, he would have reasons to want to kill me.

But when White Eagle – Gong Wu wanted to fight me earlier, he took up the fight on his own accords.

…is he purposely acting to gain my trust, or truly trying to help me prevent trouble?

After some thought, Gu Qing Shan still couldn’t make up his mind.

Naturally, the t.i.tled rank Combatant from the Bounty Hunter Guild could also be a wraith.

This is troublesome…

Suddenly, all of their ID cards rang out at once.

The same lines of notification popped out in the air:

[Emergency: Gloom Flame Town is about to fall, please immediately provide reinforcement!]

As he read that, Crow put his ID card away and told Gu Qing Shan: “They’re waiting for our help, seems like we need to hurry up”

Gu Qing Shan’s mind quickly turned.

We’re in the middle of an Unsolvable Apocalypse, and one that could even grow, how could I be wasting time here discerning which is the real wraith?

I need to immediately confirm the truth and get rid of him once and for all!

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze scanned through Crow, then fell on White Eagle – Gong Wu.

I’ll take a gamble.

Gambling that I didn’t judge Crow wrongly as a person.

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan secretly took out a puff of hair from his Inventory Bag and kept it in his hand.

He said: “Crow, you go ahead. I have something I need to talk with this White Eagle – Gong Wu”

White Eagle – Gong Wu was surprised.

Crow doubtfully glanced at him and asked: “Do you know him?”

“There’s something I need to personally tell him. Once I’m done, I’ll chase after you” Gu Qing Shan gave him a rea.s.suring gaze”

Crow hesitated a bit, then replied: “Alright, then I’ll be going ahead, if there’s anything, use your ID card to contact me”

“Hm” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Crow glanced at him again, then leapt into the air and flew away.

Only Gu Qing Shan and White Eagle – Gong Wu remained here.

White Eagle – Gong Wu had a complicated expression on his face, but his killing intent slowly mounted.

“What does an insignificant Unsolvable rank Hitman have to tell me?”

He waved his white fan and muttered.

Gu Qing Shan’s presence abruptly changed, speaking in a low tone: “White Eagle – Gong Wu, I know you’re one of our men. You have your mission, and I have mine, who exactly was it that messed it up so badly that you’re interfering with my work?”

White Eagle – Gong Wu froze.

“What are you talking about? Since when did I become a man of your Hitman Guild?” he couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Qing Shan appeared irritated, his expression slowly changing.

“Something must have gone horribly wrong” he acted prideful and scoffed at White Eagle – Gong Wu: “What kind of garbage work are you doing that you’re messing with me?”

Looking at him, White Eagle – Gong Wu was completely stunned.

“Who exactly are you? I don’t know you!” White Eagle – Gong Wu pretended like he didn’t know anything.

Appearance alone wasn’t enough for him to trust.

He immediately formed a hand seal, then carefully observed the other party’s aura.

There were no issues.

In fact, the seal in his hand was indeed a Wraith Might identification seal.

White Eagle – Gong Wu was flabbergasted.

Cang Wu Zhang is the son of a Wraith Lord.

That Wraith Lord was responsible for the war against the Eternal Abyss, and so was Cang Wu Zhang.

But I’m the subordinate of another Wraith Lord!

Since both Wraith Lords had their own secret arrangements, there certainly was a chance for one side to not know about the other’s work.

——-could it really have been a misunderstanding?

As sharp as Gu Qing Shan was, he merely needed to observe the other party’s expression for a bit to confirm the truth, so he waited for his killing intent to fade almost completely.

Acting like Cang Wu Zhang, he angrily shouted: “My personal farm——- someone stole a large amount of resources from the Yama Heavenly realm and fled to Void City, that’s why I personally came here, taking the chance to establish relations with the Ominous Demon Tower to make my name known around Void City”

Silently listening to him, White Eagle – Gong Wu swallowed a tough bit of saliva.

Indeed, the Yama Heavenly realm was Might Cang’s personal farm.

With how secretive everything regarding the Samsara was, only we from the Wraith realm would know that.

He can’t be fake!

While he was thinking, he noticed that Cang Wu Zhang was staring straight at him, sternly questioning: “Don’t act dumb. Elder Du’s matter is unrelated to me, how can I kill someone from the same side, you idiots? d.a.m.n it, what exactly are you bunch of subordinates doing!?”

It’s quite obvious now.

He knows everything.

“Cang Wu… no, Might Cang sir, hah, how could it be you, sir?”

White Eagle – Gong Wu practically chewed every word before kneeling down on one knee.
