Undead Mage from a Cell
Chapter 770 - 768: Gu Xi’s Identity Exposed
The situation with the Black and White Impermanence was guessed similarly by Ox Head and Horse Face.
Although they couldn’t figure out which big shot in the Underworld would do such a thing.
But the Netherworld Decree on the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe couldn’t be faked.
They came because of the decree.
And the Ghost Gate behind them couldn’t be faked either.
The Ghost Gate before them clearly exuded the aura of all ghosts from the Underworld.
Could you say that Gu Xi is nothing and could do such a thing?
C’mon, they are the elite Yin Soldiers of the Underworld.
What kind of old ghost have they not seen? They are quite clear about everything they’ve witnessed.
The big shot before them was deliberately hiding his power, toying with the world.
Disturbing the big shot’s plan now, making him return to the Underworld early—it’s like they’ve gotten tired of living in the Underworld.
So both Ox Head, Horse Face, and the Black and White Impermanence all kept silent, pretending not to see this troop of over sixty thousand White Impermanence.
Meanwhile, they quietly contacted their friends to come over for the spectacle and to reap the battle achievements.
How could they not let their friends take a look at such a spectacle?
Moreover, they could instantly tell this batch was killed by a bizarre domain, unable to leave their strange souls behind.
Now that these souls were sent to the Underworld, that became their achievement.
With such an opportunity, how could Ox Head, Horse Face, and Black and White Impermanence let it pass?
As a result, batch after batch of Yin Soldiers and Ghost Messengers rushed out from the Ghost Gate, wielding iron forks and rods, striking heavily at these strange entities.
Meanwhile, Black and White Impermanence kept tossing out iron chains, dragging those strange entities towards the back of the Ghost Gate.
The Yin Soldiers and Ghost Messengers that came out this time were incomparable to the Ghost Squad released by Gu Xi.
Gu Xi’s Ghost Squad was merely at Level 6, not even reaching Level 10; if it weren’t for the intimidating sight of tens of thousands of White Impermanence, it might not have held the scene.
The Yin Soldiers and Ghost Messengers that rushed out before their eyes were truly powerful troops in this world.
Plus, they were naturally born to handle these situations, and upon hearing about readily available achievements, all idle Yin Soldiers rushed over.
Fighting these strange entities was a suppression engraved in their very blood.
Especially knowing a big shot was watching, their morale increased significantly.
Under their coordinated attacks, all the strange entities were dragged into the Underworld.
Gu Xi had thought that this would happen after taking action, but never expected the response on this side to be so swift.
In just a few minutes, these strange entities were gone.
Looking at the once again desolate village of Deceit, Gu Xi pointed to the only sign of life discovered by the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe earlier.
The Ghost Squad quickly flew towards that location.
As the Ghost Squad flew across the sky, both the Li Family’s Daughter and Wang Datong, who had just arrived outside the village of Deceit, withdrew their heads.
They had thought Gu Xi’s identity was unusual, but never imagined it was this extraordinary.
Which big shot in the Underworld walks around with a retinue of over sixty thousand White Impermanence?
This was likely no ordinary big shot—could he be an ancient Level 45 being?
The Li Family’s Daughter suddenly had a thought, having heard before that Level 45 was the pinnacle standard of this world.
But even among those who reach Level 45, there is a distinction.
Some reach Level 45 because it’s their limit; others reach Level 45 because the world’s cap is Level 45.
Some big shots always envision breaking through this ceiling.
Thus, they devised many methods.
Such as converting their Level 45 into an elixir for others, allowing selected mortals to fill their positions.
Or sealing their powers, repeatedly reliving the process of growth.
No matter the method, those capable of such feats are the top tier of this world.
In the Underworld, there coincidentally was one said to be in slumber during this period.
The Li Family’s Daughter couldn’t help but wonder if Gu Xi was that elusive Lord of the Mansion.
If so, she would be greatly fortunate.
This could be a significant opportunity.
Should she give up on the Grass Returning Pill altogether and just follow Gu Xi?
Once Gu Xi regains his strength, accompanying him on his ’growth’ could allow the Li Family’s Daughter to ascend to great heights instantly.
These thoughts rapidly crossed the mind of the Li Family’s Daughter.
However, Gu Xi at this moment was unaware of all this; he had neither the desire to step out nor any advances, only observing the changes in the safe spot of Deceit Village from afar.
In Gu Xi’s view, that spot could be the most mysterious part of the entire Deceit Village.
Now that all the strange entities in Deceit Village were dealt with, the next thing was to see if anything came from that location and, if possible, entirely wipe out the village of Deceit.
This would be an even better research subject.
The visible village of Deceit could be a structure, but also a living entity.
If it perished, could there be a possibility of reviving it through Gu Xi’s Double Death in Yalidu City?
If possible, what might the village look like after undergoing Undead Transformation?
Would it be like Luna, or resemble the Bone-Devouring Swamp?
Or maybe it would just remain a structure?
This prospect sparked enormous interest in Gu Xi, and with the current situation under control, Gu Xi naturally released all his Ghost Squad.
One must admit, the Ghost Squad was quite intimidating before making a move.
Seeing so many White Impermanence floating in the sky, even a Ghost King would have to veer away.
Now, as these White Impermanence converged towards the safest spot in Deceit Village, it naturally provoked a reaction over there.
Before the White Impermanence could reach the spot, a voice emerged from underground.
"A Lord of the Mansion is indeed a Lord of the Mansion, seeing through my hiding place in one glance. But do you think a few minor soldiers can stop me? You’ve underestimated me.
This time, the Lord of the Mansion has won.
But next time, the Lord of the Mansion won’t have such good luck."
Upon saying this, the surrounding buildings quickly retracted underground, vanishing before Gu Xi’s eyes.
Seeing the barren mountains around him, Gu Xi felt the hairs on his body stand up.
He hadn’t expected merely an ordinary bizarre village could link to such grand issues.
Although uncertain about who the Lord of the Mansion mentioned by these strange entities was.
It was clear the other party perceived him as the Lord’s Reincarnation.
To converse so nonchalantly with someone dubbed as a Lord of the Mansion, what level could they possibly be? Gu Xi hesitated internally about whether he should escort the Li Family’s Daughter to the designated place and leave afterward.
At this moment, Ox Head, Horse Face, and the Black and White Impermanence all had different looks in their eyes toward Gu Xi.
With an endorsement from a great figure, they finally ’confirmed’ Gu Xi’s identity.
Though they still wished to keep Gu Xi’s identity under wraps in their hearts, their actions were rather honest, bowing their heads to Gu Xi, who possessed not even a fraction of their power.
