Shadow Hack
chapter-757

“This Priest Spirit Void, what exactly is his aim?” Li Yunmu asked again.

Minghui gulped his saliva and mumbled, “Priest Spirit Void said… that as long as he can obtain Excalibur, he will become unrivaled in this world. Even the gods would have to fear him. I am only a person running errands, so please release me! I beg you!”

“Then where did you take all those treasures from? Speak? Be truthful! If you don’t speak, I will kill you. Only if you have your life can you make money, but if you lose your life, you won’t be able to spend even what you’ve got now!”

“Spare my life! Young hero, spare my life! I did everything you told me, right? You must release me!”

Seeing Minghui being sincere, Li Yunmu relaxed somewhat and agreed to let him go.

“For many years now, Priest Spirit Void has been killing monsters and punishing devils. He swallows their internal dan and devil spirit to increase his cultivation. Although he stopped many monsters from causing harm to humans, he only killed them to obtain their internal dan to increase his cultivation. These treasures were given to me by Priest Spirit Void. I don’t know where he got so many of them from!

“He simply sent me to deal with the auction for him and gave me some treasures to exchange for chips. I truly don’t know about other things. If you don’t believe me, you can ask that great priest of the Ancient Lands yourself! It truly isn’t related to me!”

“This person should be speaking the truth,” Li Yunmu said in a calm voice. “It seems that this Priest Spirit Void isn’t a good person. Since he wants to obtain Excalibur, he must have some hidden goals.”

“Can you let me go now? Young hero, young miss!”

“Quickly get lost!”

After Minghui left the auction house, no one remained inside and everyone quickly left.

Excalibur in the crystal cabinet suddenly began to shine at that moment. It flickered a number of times before suddenly rushing out of the crystal cabinet and arriving in front of Li Yunmu.

He was slightly startled and immediately said to Yuan Biyao.

“This is… Excalibur is recognizing his master.”

“What?”

Before Li Yunmu could respond, his body seemed went out of his control, and he couldn’t move even a single step.

When the devil punishing sword arrived in front of Li Yunmu as well, it suddenly glowered brightly and chopped down as if wanting to punish a devil.

In the moment of imminent peril, Ling Youren lifted the god slaughtering sword and clashed against the devil punishing sword. Sparks flew out in all directions from the collision.

The instant the devil punishing sword and god slaughtering sword clashed against each other, the whole auction house shook and crumbled.

Li Yunmu regained his freedom of movement at that moment. He quickly left the area with Ling Youren and Yuan Biyao while all the treasures apart from the devil punishing sword were left in the ruins.

When the god slaughtering sword and devil punishing sword started to battle against each other in the sky, their sword spirits appeared.

“Lie Yang! You want to be my enemy?”

“Han Bing! You shouldn’t have taken this mortal as your master!”

“Ridiculous, I am being robbed here?”

“I saw that this mortal’s aptitude was pretty good, so I thought about taking him as my master. That’s why I wanted to conduct a test for him, so why are you getting excited?”

“Hmph, a thousand years have gone by, and you are still the same.”

The two sword spirit argued so much that Li Yunmu soon was unable to continue watching and said, “If you want to keep bantering, we will leave first and won’t be keeping you company here.”

When the swords heard that the person whom both of them wanted to take as their master was going to leave, they dropped down to block Li Yunmu’s path.

“Do you know who we are? We are ancient sword spirits! We have been in existence for tens of thousands of years! Since you mortal have been chosen by us two brothers, that is your luck!”

“You are brothers? Then why are you fighting?”

“This matter doesn’t concern you. You should know that if the devil punishing and god slaughtering sword recognize a master, that person will gain a substantial increase in strength! Many people yearn for it in their dreams, but you surprisingly aren’t the least bit excited?”

Li Yunmu found the two sword spirits amusing. He felt like laughing loudly at them, but he didn’t want to ruin the moment.

Right then, the system awakened and began to release a stream of messages.

[Ding! Congratulations host, you have obtained Excalibur!]

[Ding! Congratulations host, you have obtained Devil Sword!]

[Ding! System experience points +100 000!]

[Ding! Obtained space elements +100 000!]

[Ding! Dimensional stones obtained +100!]

[Ding! Skill comprehended: Harmonious swords!]

Before Li Yunmu could understand the application of the new skill, the system retreated into dormancy once more.

Can the system not be used in the Devil World?

“Alright, I don’t have time to hear your quarrel. We will immediately leave the Devil World.”

Hearing Li Yunmu’s words, Yuan Biyao and Ling Youren nodded. Afterwards, they discovered a spell formation like a mechanism in the legendary tree of Flowing Moon City.

Ling Youren smiled. “I know how to use this mechanism!”

She went to stand in front of the wall, then made some strokes above the spell formation, and it was quickly unleashed, which amazed Li Yunmu and Yuan Biyao.

When the spell opened, it looked like an exit. Li Yunmu then took a long look at the Devil World and asked Ling Youren, “You really want to leave with us? We’ll probably encounter even more trouble on the path, so aren’t you afraid?”

Ling Youren shook her head and said with a smile, “As long as I can be together with you, Li Ying, I won’t be afraid even if I have to go to the end of the world.”

Li Yunmu was moved by Ling Youren’s words. He then tightly gripped her hand and left through the exit.

The three people passed through the spell formation and turned into a ray of light that rushed out of the Devil God Well back into the Ancient Lands.

Yuan Biyao chose to speak up then. “The devil punishing sword has already recognized you as a master, but you can still return it to the Primordial God World. But if not, you cannot let it fall into the hands of other people; otherwise, the Primordial God World will be doomed.

“What do you think about explaining yourself to Fuxi and Nuwa? You’re not a devil anymore.”

Li Yunmu looked at Ling Youren and said, “Then what about her? She is a devil.”

Yuan Biyao smiled bitterly. “I really don’t want Fuxi and Nuwa to keep misunderstanding you!”
