Void City.
All the bigshots of the city had gathered at the City Lordâs manor.
Gu Qing Shan, Crow, and Yu Juan were all standing in front of them.
âThen, youâre saying that this was the truth behind the Plague Apocalypse?â the Hitman Guild master asked.
âThat is indeed the truth without a doubt. When the three parallel worlds were destroyed, the plague world, extinct monster world, as well as Saint Spirit world had fused with one another to ultimately form a new worldâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
âAfter a short while, that world should complete its evolution, at which point you will see itâ Yu Juan added.
The bigshots listened, then turned to Crow.
Crow also spoke with a serious expression: âYou sealed off that area before as you were afraid that the Apocalypse would spread, but now that a new world is forming instead of an Apocalypse, there is no longer a need to quarantine itââ actually, you all can personally confirm the truth of this matter, thereâs no need to ask usâ
The Bounty Hunter Guild master sighed: âWe can certainly confirm it for ourselves, but this is such a big matter that we still need to properly question you about itâ
âWeâve already explained it five times, so can we leave now? I have a dateâ Crow couldnât help but ask.
âI- I also have a concert that I want to attendâ Yu Juan also said.
The bigshots exchanged glances.
A voice resounded from the depths of the City Lordâs manor:
âOne last question, were the wraiths truly trying to take over the bodies of the Saint Spirit worldâs living beings in that parallel world?â
âIndeed, that was certainly what happened in that parallel worldâ Gu Qing Shan confirmed.
The other two also nodded.
The bigshots immediately got busy discussing it among themselves.
ââ-if this was the truth, then this ability of the wraiths would cause massive unease.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.
The indigo pattern on his wrist had now turned into a chaotic mess, regardless of how he tried, he still couldnât get a response from it.
The newly-rejuvenated world had sealed itself off.
Most likely, Iâll have to wait until the worldâs evolution is complete before I can contact it again.
There are still plenty of things that I havenât done in that world.
The Saint Spirit world and the Deities of the Inner Plane are surely related somehow, so I need to confirm it properly.
Furthermore, the thing that my mother and father left me still remains in the Saint Spirit world, waiting for me to retrieve.
Just as he was pondering, the door was opened and a group of strong Combatants wearing different uniforms entered.
âReporting sirs, we have examined the location, there was indeed only a single world in a sealed state, no Apocalypse to be foundâ
The bigshots all turned their gazes towards Gu Qing Shan.
ââ-this Hitman managed to discover the wraithâs plan in a parallel world, then borrow the power of the wraiths to seal a legendary monster.
The [Chaos] Serpentes King, Ouroboros.
ă Dragon King of Atrocity Jail, can you explain in detail how you were about to achieve everything you did? ăasked a bigshot with a hidden face.
Gu Qing Shan bowed, then asked: âCould you still be doubting the truth of these matters?â
ă No, I have conducted several investigations, so I do not doubt them, Iâm simply curious about how you were about to complete this great feat ăthe bigshot replied.
âMy apologies, as this is related to my personal abilities, I cannot expose themâ Gu Qing Shan answered.
He took a step back, his figure became obscured by white fog, then gradually disappeared altogether.
ââ-he left.
ă Hmph, what a rude child ăthe hidden bigshot scoffed.
The Hitman Guild master praised him: âHeâs very capable and very smart, but more than anything else, heâs cautious. He was afraid that others would find out his measures and depthsâ
ă Iâm curious how those wraiths in our reality would react after they find out about this ăanother bigshot commented.
Everyone fell silent.
The wraithâs plan, the strength of the Saint Spirit world, or the [Chaos] Serpentes Kingâs existence were all shocking matters that couldnât be hidden.
Crow suddenly said: âWait, so we were already allowed to leave?â
His figure flashed and disappeared from the bigshotsâ gaze.
Seeing that, Yu Juan also wanted to flee but stopped after being glared at by the head librarian of the Void Library.
The Ominous Demon Towerâs master suddenly said: ă How long has it been since we last saw such a brilliant young one? ă
âWhat are you planning?â the Hitman Guild master appeared cautious.
The Ominous Demon towerâs master replied: ă The wraithsâ forces are considerable. Your little Hitman Guild wonât be able to protect him, so give him to our Ominous Demon Tower ă
âBullshit, just his contribution in resolving the Plague Apocalypse is more than enough for him to be promoted to Titled Hitman, Iâm going to deal with that matter immediately after I returnâ the Hitman Guild master said.
âWasnât that fiend an Unsolvable Hitman? Wouldnât it be too fast for him to be promoted straight to Titled rank?â another bigshot asked in surprise.
The Hitman Guild master coldly replied: âAfter today, do you think anyone would still not know of the name âDragon King of Atrocity Jailâ?â
That bigshot shook his head: âHeâs still too weak, despite his achievements, a lot of it could be considered coincidental or fortunateâ
Everyone nodded in agreement.
âNo, he wasnât simply fortunateâ
From deep inside the City Lordâs manor, a female voice resounded.
The bigshots all appeared shocked.
Someone tried asking: âDo you meanââ-â
âThis Fear Fiend underwent the examination when he first entered Void City, our equipment extracted a certain Title from him...â
âThis Dragon King of Atrocity Jail was the Heir of the Thousand Dragons Ancestorâ the female voice explained.
Everyoneâs expressions changed.
âSo he was the heir of the dragon race, furthermore, one chosen by the Dragon Ancestor himself, then there is nothing to talk aboutâ
ă Indeed, I had thought that the Wraith realm would definitely not let him go; but now, if the wraiths want to touch him, they will probably reconsider ă
âRight, those ones from the dragon race might be in slumber most of the time, but if someone dared to touch the heir chosen by their ancestor, they might all show up at once. Even if only for their reputation, they would still choose to actâ
Everyone fell into thought.
...
In a small brick house.
Gu Qing Shan appeared from inside a cloud of white fog.
Xiao Die was currently cooking, so she just told him without turning around: âCome and sit down, the food will be ready soonâ
âLet me cook todayâ
Saying that, Gu Qing Shan found an apron and put it on, then took the pan from Xiao Die.
Xiao Die decided to let him cook.
She stood to one side and said:
âI didnât think youâd tell the entire truthâ
âThereâs a very simple truth to thisââ the ones who committed the wrongdoing were the wraiths, I merely dealt with the Plague Apocalypse, so what do I have to be afraid of?â Gu Qing Shan replied.
âThe wraiths will definitely think of a way to save their reputation. After all, while those events did happen in the parallel world, itâs still only a possibility to our realityâ Xiao Die said.
Gu Qing Shan replied: âI understand, but once the seeds of doubt have been sown, the wraiths would definitely have to lay low for a bit, because there would be numerous Combatants who would keep their eyes on them, either purposely or coincidentallyâ
âBecause of that, they wouldnât have the courage to try and do anything to you at this point, because once something does happen, it would only prove that they truly harbor such thoughtsâ Xiao Die concluded.
âYup, thatâs exactly itâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
Xiao Die sighed and said: âYouâre much too slyâ
Gu Qing Shan smiled, then served the completed dishes onto the table before telling her: âI didnât have a choice before this, because of how weak I am, there are a lot of things that I could only keep hiddenâ
Xiao Die evaluated him, then pondered: âYour growth was certainly rapid... wait, the City Lordâs manor just announced your identity as a dragon, this way, the wraiths truly have to make a lot of considerations before they act against youâ
âThen the City Lordâs manor is helping me, but for what reason?â Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
Xiao Die displayed an indiscernible expression, then muttered: âI think youâll find out soon enoughâ
Just as Gu Qing Shan was about to ask about it, he sensed something.
