The Wraith realm.
On top of a jagged rocky mountain.
Innumerable wraiths surrounded this entire area from the foot of the mountain all the way to the top.
There wasnât anything at the very top except a formation that was full of inscribed runes made of obsidian.
The wraiths stood around the formation, ready to catch their enemies.
No one said a single word.
The entire mountain was in absolute silence and solemnity.
Suddenly, a figure descended from above, standing in front of the formation and asked: âThe Wraith Lord sent me, whatâs the progress so far?â
Another wraith stepped forward, kneeling on one knee: âSir You Tian Gui had begun his pursuit, most likely he had found the Dragon King of Atrocity Jailâ
The figure asked: âIs the Soul Vessel Imprisonment Formation ready?â
âAs Dragon King of Atrocity Jail is a Titled Hitman, we didnât only prepare a Soul Vessel Imprisonment Formation, but also several restraining formationsââ the triggering talismans have been handed to sir You Tian Guiâs subordinatesâ
The figure nodded satisfactorily: âThatâs good. The Laws of Soul Eradication Mountain were established by sir Wraith Saint himself, there are very rarely any mistakes. They will surely be transported here briefly, and Dragon King of Atrocity Jail will be executedâ
The wraith answered: âWeâve eliminated countless powerful Combatants from numerous worlds while posted here at Soul Eradication Mountain, donât worry sirâ
âAhaha, very well, I shall wait here for a bit here then. Once youâve taken Dragon King of Atrocity Jailâs head, I will also be able to report itâ
âYes sir, then please wait for a momentâ
âHmâ
After that, both the figure and the wraith stood waiting without uttering a single sound.
One minute passed.
...
Two minutes passed.
The figure couldnât help but ask: âWhy is You Tian Gui so slow?â
Someone replied: âYou might not know sir, but Dragon King of Atrocity Jail has close relationships with the Ominous Demon Tower. Perhaps heâs staying in the Tower as a guest, so You Tian Gui canât really act just yet, having to wait until he leaves the Ominous Demon Towerâ
The figure thought for a bit then nodded.
The other organizations of Void City were no issue, only the Ominous Demon Tower was especially tough to deal with.
ââthey had a particularly disgusting way of threatening people.
That method was truly something they had to look out for.
The figure sighed, then continued: âVery well, I shall wait for a bit longer, but I want all of you to remain completely cautious. Dragon King of Atrocity Jail is known for having many numerous means, I want you all to kill him as soon as he appearsâ
The wraiths all responded: âSir, yes sir!â
Time slowly passed...
The sun had set and the moon had risen.
An entire day went by.
The figure suddenly shouted: âWeâve waited for an entire dayââ why did we wait here for one whole day? This isnât right!â
The wraiths seemed like theyâve just snapped out of a dream as well.
âSir, weâre contacting Wraith Might You Tian Guiâ
âOh no, sir, we canât reach him!â
âWe canât reach any of his subordinates either!â
âQuickly report to the Wraith Lord!â
The wraiths immediately went into a panic.
...
Letâs rewind time a bit.
In reality, You Tian Gui had already found Gu Qing Shan when the figure arrived at Soul Eradication Mountain.
Their teleportation was interfered by Crow and Gu Qing Shanâs joint effort, all of them were transported to a foreign world.
The dragons appeared and began to insult one another.
Right after that, Gu Qing Shan, Crow, and Yu Juan all returned to the bar.
âYou said that the dragons were deceiving the wraiths?â Crow asked, still confused.
âYeah, thatâs what I suspectâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
Yu Juan was disappointed: âHow regretful, not even our library had records of the dragonâs combat method, itâs quite mysteriousâ
Crow followed up: âThatâs right, I also want to see how the dragons fightââ I can see how intense it must be just by thinking about itâ
Gu Qing Shanâs mouth twitched a bit and said: âLetâs not, I guarantee that you donât want toâ
At this point, the only other people left in the bar were the three bartenders.
They looked at Gu Qing Shanâs group with a strange expression.
These people manage to escape from the wraithsâ coercion.
â-what shocking news.
As they thought that, the door of the bar suddenly opened.
A man wearing a black baseball cap, a pair of sunglasses, a disposable mask, and a black business suit entered the bar.
Dressing like this, no one was able to see how he actually looked.
âWelcomeâ one of the bartenders said.
The man walked up to the bar counter, pulled out a piece of paper and muttered: âTudor, Dian Kong, Gold Cardâ
The three bartenders all appeared surprised.
âYesâ
âYesâ
âYour excellency? What do you need us for?â
They spoke up in unison.
The man created a flame on his hand and burnt the piece of paper.
âItâs nothing. It took quite a bit of effort to find your namesâ
He suddenly clapped his hands after saying that.
The three bartenders instantly became as stiff as statues.
The man declared: âSwear by your names, you shall forget the memories I chooseâ
The three bartenders then became limp and collapsed to the ground.
At this point, the man nodded towards Gu Qing Shan and said: âYou donât need to care about those two dozen wraiths anymoreâ
His voice suddenly became a female voice.
ââit was truly impossible to discern whether this individual was male or female.
This type of disguise and demeanor displayed just how cautious they were.
Gu Qing Shan instantly understood.
ââdragon.
This individual is a dragon.
Gu Qing Shan curiously asked: âHow did you deal with them?â
The man answered: âAll wraiths are laced with various kinds of tracking techniques, even after they die they can be summoned back, killing them would be the same as releasing them, so we restrained all the magic on their bodies, turned them into a dozen grains of sand and tossed them randomly into various different points in the space vortex.
Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
These dragons were truly the definition of caution.
The space vortex was boundlessly vast, capable of housing the infinite worlds, so trying to find a few dozen grains of sand would be infinitely more difficult than finding a needle at the bottom of the ocean.
The man continued: âWe then used the remnant fluctuations of their talisman array to unleash an Unintelligent Hex. Anyone affected by this hex would become dumb, and every wraith on the other side of that teleportation array would have been affectedâ
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist: âPlease pass on my gratitude to your companions as well, thank you very much for your helpâ
âNo need to be so formal, our identities are hidden, so the wraiths wouldnât be able to find us either way. But you, on the other hand, you need to be extra cautious from now on, try not to get involved with those wraithsâ the man said.
Saying so, he turned around and prepared to leave.
At this point, Crow couldnât help but ask: âYou are a dragon? Youâve turned all those wraiths into sand?â
The man paused.
He glanced at Crow and was stunned by Crowâs appearance.
âHow handsomeâ
The man spoke in a female voice.
Heâ- she took off her sunglasses to reveal a pair of beautiful silver eyes and looked at Crow: âWhat is it? Do you have any objections?â
âNot really objections, Iâm just curious to know how you managed to restrain those wraithsâ Crow sincerely replied.
Yu Juan also appeared to really want to know, standing next to them.
The woman looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked with a surprised voice: âYou didnât tell them?â
Gu Qing Shan shrugged and replied: âI thought this was a secret of our dragon raceâ
The woman appeared pleased, then patted his shoulder: âThatâs right, we manipulate behind the scenes, trip people up, hit below the belt, shout insults and abuse before killing peopleââ but everything we do, we do for justice, donât we?â
Gu Qing Shan quickly nodded in agreement and replied: âThatâs exactly itâ
The woman put her sunglasses on again and spoke: âIâll advise you again. Stay as far away as you can from the wraiths, they seemed to have been afflicted with some kind of madness, we of the dragon race had always taken a stance to avoid themâ
âGot itâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
The woman nodded to him, then turned around and left the bar.
After she left, the three bartenders quickly regained their senses and staggered to stand back up from the ground.
âWhat happened?â
âIâm not sure, I only remember sleeping very soundlyâ
âAh? Why is the bar so empty today?â
The bartenders all felt confused.
As far as they can see, the only customers in the bar were Gu Qing Shan, Yu Juan, and Crow.
