Weapon seller in the world of magic
chapter-381

While Lin Xue's mind is a complete mess from what she heard from this mysterious old man, the two androids were alerted. They quickly went into battle stance and took out their respective weapons after scanning the enemy.

This fellow before them appeared to be an exalt realm expert (7-circle) at peak stage but his age was over 1500 despite the fact that he is a human.

The fact that he could see through them indicates two possibilities. Either this fellow who came back from the dead is once a supreme realm expert who had his cultivation dropped later on or he had special eyes that can see the souls.

Either way, they didn't take this man lightly and decided to kill him.

However, never in the world did either of them expect the doom scythe suddenly escapes Alina's grip on its own and flew toward the man.

As the enemy caught the scythe, a look of surprise appeared on his face. "Buddy? No... your old consciousness and memories were wiped away. You were bound to that puppet? Don't worry. I will free you…" He talked to the scythe while ignoring the other three for a while.

When he shifted his attention back to them, he saw Alina had the Protos daggers out and staring at him coldly.

The mysterious expert let out a grin, "I don't know how much time has passed away but I hope my generals are still around…"

Raising his free left arm above his head, he spoke out loud as the dark energy enveloped him, "My faithful servants, wherever you are, heed the call of your master."

A large glowing circle with mystical symbols appeared on the ground. Alina and the other two jumped away in reflex.

Soon, a large undead gorilla rose from the ground, making the summoner crestfallen a bit as it probably failed to meet his expectations, but Alina and Allen weren't in the mood to think about anything else. The Gorilla was a fuc*ing legendary-grade monster.

As the leader of the party, Alina gave the order, "Allen, take Lady Lin and escape from this place. I will catch up to you."

To which, the expert bursts out into laughter, "You really have a lot of human emotions, lady puppet. Interesting… Unfortunately, none of you will leave…"

The blade of the doom scythe glowed and the entire surroundings changed in an instant. They were in a cave a second ago but now, they were on an island with an endless lava sea around.

As the master of doom scythe, Alina recognized the skill at a single glance of the surroundings. "The illusionary realm…"

The mysterious expert gave the order to the undead gorilla, "kill her."

Meanwhile, at Mt. Ku of the Kunlun Mountains, Mark was writing something on a piece of scroll.

After he was done, he gave it to Lan Ju, "go to Mt. Wu and hand it to the Wuji sect's patriarch."

As the zheng took the letter, Mark further warned him in a serious tone, "I'm sure that he will be enraged after reading the demands and you might be ambushed. In such a case, don't try to retaliate and just focus on escaping. We cannot give them a reason to be afraid of us. The more confident they are, the more it will become easier for us."

"What if they don't attack?" Lan Ju asked in response to his master's instruction.

Mark shrugged his shoulders, "then, it is simple. You provoke him with a direct attack but don't kill him at all costs. I want you to force them to use the defensive formation and experience its effects in person."

"Understood, master." Lan Ju nodded as he rolled up the scroll and placed it in his right sleeve. Soon, he left the mountain to finish his mission.

Not long after Lan Ju's departure, Mark's heartbeat spiked up all of a sudden when he was about to lie on the bed.

He clutched his chest in pain, "what kind of ominous feeling is this? Will Lan Ju face difficulty or something? No, that's unlikely. Song Yue was also fine. I guess it might be just acidity. Let's not take a rest and go for a walk. Hmm… that will be good."

At the same time, Lan Ju has already neared his destination, Mt. Wu, which is located just about 16 kilometers away from Kunlun Sect.

As he went through flying, he was spotted by the disciples roaming on the peak of the mountain. It goes without saying that the patriarch and the elders were alerted.

By the time Lan Ju landed on the ground, he was greeted by the presence of the sect's Patriarch and two other grand elders.

"So, to what do we owe your visitation, Wu Weibao?" asked Lai Peng without a shred of respect in his tone.

Lan Ju didn't care about his manners and handed the scroll to the Wuji sect's Patriarch, "this is from my master."

Lai Peng opened it and read it. It didn't take long for his expression to turn dark.

Raising his head to look coldly at the zheng, Lai Peng said, "Your master needed my head, 2 million gold coins or the same worth of ether crystals, and half of our treasury in compensation for the mental damage our sect has indirectly given him? Or else, there will be a war?"

He tore the scroll into two pieces and further said, "Return and tell him that our sect isn't afraid of him or the Kunlun sect."

Seeing that the enemy isn't acting recklessly, Lan Ju went on with plan B.

"Alright then… You rejected the peace and chose the destruction of your sect. That's fine with us. But, before I return, I still need to do the mission given by my master." Lan Ju told them that only two people were killed in the tournament. The other two who participated in the ambush against Zi Ling and her group are still alive.

He boldly announced that he will be searching for them and take their heads with him in return whether someone likes it or not. Until then, he will kill any disciple he encounters.

And just like he expected it to go, Lai Peng was infuriated and he lost control of his anger and roared, "You crossed the line of being a messenger, Wu Weibao."

Lan Ju, who turned around and was walking away, halted his footsteps, glanced at him from the corner of his right eye, and spoke coldly, "So, what if I did? What can you do?"

"I will kill you…" Lai Peng charged at him with a clenched fist.

Lan Ju timely caught his hand and swung his arm over his shoulder, slamming down the boss of the enemy sect onto the ground and alerting the others.

"You cannot stop me," said Lan Ju and he started walking away toward the disciples who were watching them. Looking at his back in anger, Lai Peng shouted, "Grand mage Wang, activate the formation."

Lan Ju stopped in his tracks and turned around, feeling that he managed to complete his mission.

Meanwhile, back at the Bloodhill forest;

In the underground cave, Allen was unconscious, a heavily injured Lin Xue had the glowing ring and some sort of hexagonal-prism-looking thing in her trembling hands, and Alina's body was on the floor with a hole in her chest. And the mysterious expert's leg was on Alina's face.

He put his strength further and flattened her face into a metallic plate as he looked at the android, "Go and inform the Imperial family of Phoenix. Necromancer King has returned and he will be coming for the Emperor's head."
