Chapter 1754: Head-hunting deal

Chapter 1753 Head-hunting deal

The black cat continued to run.

While carrying Ye Ru Xi on his back, Gu Qing Shan closely chased after it.

There was still nothing in front of him as far as his eyes could see, completely barren land without a single noteworthy structure.

After running for a while, the black cat suddenly slowed down.

“What’s the matter?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The black cat fully stopped and pointed at the void of space in front of it, then called out to him:

Meow!

Gu Qing Shan appeared surprised.

He reached his hand out trying to search the void.

There was clearly nothing in front of him, but he still managed to get hold of a doorknob.

——-this was all thanks to the black cat, as nobody else would have ever been able to locate this place.

Gu Qing Shan continued to touch around the air and quickly found a cold metallic surface, which was most likely a door.

“I can’t open this?” he looked at the black cat.

The black cat meowed at him with some disdain in its voice.

Gu Qing Shan looked back down and tried to move the doorknob again.

—-although he couldn’t sense anything particularly powerful about it, he still couldn’t open the door.

“Hoh—– not possible, I can’t open it” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Meow meow?

The black cat narrowed its eyes and called out again, seemingly scoffing at him.

Gu Qing Shan also narrowed his eyes and tried examining the doorknob more carefully.

A very sturdy material.

With an intricate design.

There is some power emanating from it, but not too much.

Regardless of who they are, being able to come here and place a concealed door and doorknob is already quite a considerable feat. After all, everyone’s powers are still sealed.

СОГ.

Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and focused his mind.

—–[Heavenly Decree – Initiate Tribulation)!

Tribulation Lightning manifested in the void of space as bolts of lightning gradually condensed one after another.

The numerous bolts of different Tribulation Lightning eventually formed the shape of a sledgehammer, along which black crackling arcs of electricity slithered.

This was the combined power of all Tribulation Lightning, which had surpassed all known Heaven Tribulations!

Boom——–

The lightning sledgehammer was violently slammed towards the doorknob.

Gu Qing Shan then tried moving it again.

This time, the door finally opened, displaying what was hidden behind it.

——it was the warehouse of a fortress.

There were numerous sets of armor, weapons, rations, spirit stones, immortal jades, raw materials, talismans, formation plates, as well as various rare treasures, too many to count.

Gu Qing Shan took a short walk around the warehouse, spending an entire minute to list every unique thing it contained.

Under the current circumstances, these supplies and funds should be more than enough to start a war.

A jet-black badge was lying on the table in the center of the warehouse. The badge read in large and bright characters: (Human realm 27th]

Gu Qing Shan silently observed it, then gently placed Ye Ru Xi on one side before he began picking out supplies for himself.

He first chose the set of armor of the highest quality.

The set of armor could be separated into almost a hundred components each of which were made with relatively great intricacy, being both tough and flexible.

Most interestingly, this set of armor had various points where one could adjust as they wished, making it bigger or smaller.

After donning the armor, Gu Qing Shan began to check out the weapons.

——there was at least one copy of every kind of common weapon here.

Although they couldn’t be considered treasures per se, they were still miles better than any mortal weapon.

Under the current circumstances where all the Samsara Divine Artifacts had been taken away, they were practically the next best thing.

——perfect for a Chosen Saint whose abilties had been sealed to use.

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

What exactly were the people who left these supplies here planning?

While he was in thought, the black cat’s fur all started standing on their ends as it turned towards the ground just a bit away from where he was standing: Meeoow!

Gu Qing Shan immediately snapped out of his train of thought, grabbing a metal bow and a quiver full of arrows from the shelf, as well as a blade.

A few moments later.

The ground began turning loose.

Two hands emerged from underneath, followed by a head, a neck, then shoulders——

A cultivator had emerged from the ground, bringing in a lot of loose dirt with him.

As soon as he saw Gu Qing Shan, he was stunned for a brief moment before speaking cautiously:

“I was the only one——“

Gu Qing Shan shouted: “I’m the emergency mobilization officer, I’ve seen your picture before——- are you Human realm 27th?”

The man was stunned.

——-emergency mobilization?

While he was still, Gu Qing Shan had thrown the badge toward him.

The man caught the badge, examined it closely, and then carefully put it away.

He then clasped his fist: “This subordinate is indeed Human realm 27th, sir, you—- Gu Qing Shan began explaining with a solemn expression that forbade all questions: “The situation has changed, a powerful Apocalypse has suddenly emerged. I’m asking you right now, do you want to continue working as you have been, or participate in the sudden mission to fight against the Apocalypse?”

The Tomb of Myriad Beasts was being assimilated into the Samsara before it was reset, which was why the Samsara War General’s grave existed, as well as the amalgamation void monster.

Even they managed to survive, so of course the numerous terrifying Apocalypses from the past would also survive.

Aside from them, there was also the summoners of 99 Apocalypses—–

The Apocalyptic Envoys!

Meaning, it was absolutely normal for an Apocalypse to randomly emerge at this point in time.

——the issue is how powerful the Apocalypse would be.

The man was stunned for a brief moment before he took a closer look at Gu Qing Shan.

From Gu Qing Shan’s demeanor, he did indeed look like a seasoned commander.

Just as the man was about to talk, Gu Qing Shan suddenly continued: “This abrupt Apocalypse will be very difficult to deal with, it may affect the entire plan, so if you participate in the battle against it, you will be given appropriate rewards for your efforts”

The man’s train of thought was once again disrupted, so he couldn’t help but ask: “Sir, would that Apocalypse affect my original mission?”

——not asking about anything except his own business.

Seems like he’s quite the interesting person.

“From our assessments, we suspect that it will surely affect all of our original arrangements” Gu Qing Shan answered with a slightly worried tone.

This was, of course, complete bullshit, but it made sense in this context; after all, Gu Qing Shan had to personally arrive to mobilize manpower, so who wouldn’t think that it would affect them?

But his tone also affected the man.

The man asked nervously: “Sir, the Apocalypse wouldn’t affect this location here specifically, right?”

—–asking the same question again, it seems he’s a selfish person.

Furthermore, he prefers to not be adventurous.

Gu Qing Shan answered without changing his expression: “This location in particular won’t be affect, and that’s why I came to seek you out”

He moved out of the man’s vision and pointed at Ye Ru Xi who was lying on the floor: “Take a look, the location of another secret mission that she was a part of had been affected, that’s why I hurriedly came here to find someone to take her place after I finally managed to rescue her”

The man observed Ye Ru Xi.

Ye Ru Xi was lying unconscious on the ground, completely defenseless.

—–some more of the man’s doubts were cleared off.

Seems like the superiors are really short on manpower for them to find a replacement as soon as they manage to rescue someone.

No wonder an officer of emergency mobilization had appeared.

And most importantly——-

That Apocalypse must be extremely dangerous.

Even if there are rewards, there is no need for me to risk my life, is there?

While the man was thinking, Gu Qing Shan had already continued: “The rewards for battling against the Apocalypse are quite exceptional, but you can also choose to stick to your original mission——“

“I’ll give you a few minutes to make your decision, then explain the mission you’ve chosen in details”

The man thought to himself for a short while before clasping his fist towards Gu Qing Shan and answered apologetically: “Sir, I will now make my report—— I choose to continue replenishing my supplies and sneak back into the 27th node within the Elements Purgatory, silently looking for a chance to eliminate any Chosen Saints who had not pledged their allegiance to the Heavenly Palace”

Bullseye.

Now I know what these people have been

doing.

It makes sense as well, considering how far ahead the Heavenly Emperor is compared to everyone, the only person within the Samsara who could make such preparations was him.

While everyone has not been able to reclaim their powers——-

This is the perfect chance to eliminate any opposition.

Hearing his explanation, Gu Qing Shan’s expression did not change at all.

No.

If one took a closer look, a faint look of displeasure could be discerned from Gu Qing Shan’s expression.

The man had noticed that as well, but he chose to pretend to not notice it and kept his head down, maintaining this reporting posture.

“Are you absolutely sure you want to choose this mission?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Yes I am, sir” the man answered.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: “Very well, I won’t force you, then——-“.

In an instant, a change had occurred!

Millions of bronze daggers abruptly manifested around the man and started slashing him without any warning.

All the blood was scattered into a thick bloody mist that wafted into the air.

Gu Qing Shan covered his mouth and took a few steps back, asking in surprise: “You’re awake?”

A female voice answered him: “I am, I really have to thank you, I’ve finally escaped from those bastards”

Ye Ru Xi slowly stood up.

“How are you feeling?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I’m free now, I now wield the power of a Deity of (Chaos]… without being under the control of any Awaitings…” Ye Ru Xi replied.

Bronze arms of various different forms appeared from behind her back, all of which emanated the presence of (Chaos).

“You’re stronger than I am” Gu Qing Shan judged.

“Of course, your powers have been sealed, while I’m currently about as strong as the Soul Shrieker used to be” Ye Ru Xi smiled and replied.

Gu Qing Shan also smiled.

It’s such a joy to have someone like her as a supporter.

“I’ll help you kill anyone you want to kill” Ye Ru Xi said.

“I just need you to guard this place, after all, there is so much supplies here that it’ll be a shame if someone came to steal it” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Alright” Ye Ru Xi answered.

Gu Qing Shan went outside and stood in the middle of the barren wasteland again.

——[Initiate Tribulation)!

Wind began to blow.

The sky suddenly became gloomy, the void of space itself grew dim, dust and sand was blown all over the place.

Various scratching noises could be heard.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly shouted: “Stop probing already, I’m the one facing the Tribulation!”

All the scratching noises immediately stopped.

It’s old Gu

[ So it was old Gu]

[ Damn, why didn’t you tell us sooner

If old Gu is calling us, it must mean he has a deal for us

With hearty laughter, various evil creatures emerged from the void of space.

And then they all fell silent.

[ So many treasures! ]

One of the evil creatures exclaimed.

More and more evil creatures stared straight into the large warehouse behind Gu Qing Shan with eyes glowing red with greed.

At the moment, the Samsara had only just been reset, so all weapons and armors were valuable, not to mention these were of the highest quality.

Old Gu, you have so much good stuff by yourself? Jan evil creature asked.

Its eyes were unfocused, cautiously darting between the mountain of supplies in the warehouse and Gu Qing Shan.

A dangerous atmosphere was silently brewing.

Gu Qing Shan shrugged and turned around to give Ye Ru Xi a look.

Ye Ru Xi slightly raised her hand——-

A gigantic bronze arm that appeared to connect heaven and earth fell down from the sky, slamming the ground a few thousand meters away from the door of the warehouse.

Bam!

The thunderous noise reverberated from the distance, the terrifying presence emanating from it caused all the evil creatures to snap out of their trance.

Such power was more than enough to remove all unnecessary thoughts.

Once everyone had calmed down, Gu Qing Shan pointed at the warehouse behind him.

“Everyone, there is indeed a deal”

“Don’t say that this old Gu isn’t considerate of you all, now let’s begin. I want everyone to enter the Elements Purgatory and hunt for some heads in exchange for these supplies”

One of the evil creature commanders couldn’t contain himself and called out: Old Gu, whose heads do you want?]

Gu Qing Shan shrugged and answered with seeming indifference: “I’m not picky, as long as the head belongs to a heavenly being, I’ll take it”
