Chapter 183 He saw his own death.
Jiang Shaoxu was still very happy to see Liu Qi, but when she heard Liu Qi ask to find Su Ming, she subconsciously felt that it was not a good thing.
After all, how could a mid-level mage get involved in that kind of thing?
Even Wu, a super-level mage, would be afraid.
"So we just keep waiting?"
"There's no other way, it's too dangerous here. It's better to wait than to run around," Jiang Shaoxu said.
Liu Qi thought for a moment and said, "I know a place, would you like to go together?"
"To be honest, it's not a good idea to entrust your life to someone else. We need to investigate. When I came here before, I found a cave outside the city. I went inside to investigate, but there was a wall blocking it. I reckon it would take a high-level mage to break through it. We can go and take a look," Liu Qi suggested.
"What does Mr. Wu think?" They didn't answer, but looked at Mr. Wu instead.
They were indeed very frustrated at this time, but there was nothing they could do.
Jiang Shaotian appears to have disappeared, and they need to make some preparations.
"We can give it a try," said Mr. Wu.
He then pulled Mu Bai aside and whispered, "Is this person really alright?"
Mu Bai hesitated for a moment, then said, "It should be fine. He and Su Ming have a good relationship, and he also knows Jiang Shaoxu, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"It's best if there are no problems, but the main issue is that this place isn't very safe."
"You mean—" Mu Bai didn't say it aloud, but both of them understood what he was about to say.
The Black Vatican is not a peaceful place, and President Wu is also worried that Liu Qi and the Black Vatican are involved.
They were one team, and there was another team, but we can't contact them now, and we don't know where they went. We can't contact them using the methods we established before.
"Let's investigate the cave Liu Qi mentioned first, since we might have to rely on ourselves to get out," Mu Bai said.
After Jiang Shaotian disappeared, we can't count on him anymore, Su Ming—
Nine-Headed Serpent —
And there are others who are completely confused and have no idea what happened.
"Alright, let's go." Liu Qi led the group out of the city, while Zu Chuan was carried on Mu Bai's back.
After the tolling bell rang twice, some unknown creatures began to emerge from the seemingly peaceful city.
The two sounds opened a door beneath the ancient tomb, and some creatures rushed into the tomb through the crack.
"Disgusting things." Su Ming waved his hand, instantly killing several dark creatures. Their blood was black, and their bodies were pitch black, making it impossible to discern anything unusual.
These are the lowest-ranking creatures in the Dark Dimension, and cannon fodder. Most of them are only servants, but their numbers are overwhelming. Some powerful individuals are even at the level of generals or commanders, and some can even reach the level of monarchs.
However, I haven't encountered it yet.
"We can't delay any longer. After the bell tolls twice, this place will soon be overrun by dark creatures. There are too many of them, so we have to find a way to close the door."
To close the door, you need to find Lord Wu'an, who guards that door and the location of the treasures in the ancient tomb.
He wasn't very interested in the treasure or Men Xiaoqing; what he cared about was Su Ming's health.
Just as they had suspected, everything here was fake, except for a few special people and two prison guards.
Take Su Ming for example. His body is locked in a certain place, while his true form is just a consciousness. Although it is a consciousness, it is the same as his real body. Once he dies, he is truly dead.
The main body is in a dormant state; if the dark creatures were to enter, none of them would survive.
Su Ming burned through the space in front of the Red Prison Palace with a flame, revealing a void entrance. After Su Ming walked in, the entrance disappeared.
He also met Lord Wu'an.
Lord Wu'an is alone here, but judging from the remaining aura, the white-robed corpse general was also here before, along with two other humans.
One of them should be the Nine-Headed Serpent of the Black Vatican, and the other one is unclear, but he doesn't seem to have a good feeling about either.
He's probably a troublesome person; if he were to encounter him, he would choose to suppress him.
"Welcome." Lord Wu'an smiled upon seeing Su Ming's arrival, though it was obscured by his hat.
"What should I call you? Su Ming—or Lord Garuda?"
"Whatever, I just came here to ask you to move aside," Su Ming said.
"I'd like to give up my seat, but unfortunately, I can't. Since Your Majesty has entrusted me with this task, I must carry it out firmly," said Lord Wu'an calmly.
He knew what Su Ming's purpose was in coming here. From a holistic perspective, everything Su Ming did was a good thing, whether viewed from the perspective of the undead or from the perspective of humans.
Although it's a good thing, he won't give way, as this conflicts with his mission.
"You will die," Su Ming said calmly.
"Of course," Lord Wu'an understood as well.
"Lord Garuda's strength is unparalleled throughout history. Even a king at his peak could only manage a draw against Lord Garuda. My meager strength is naturally no match for Lord Garuda."
"However, no matter what I say, I still can't give in."
"Oh, then I'll go in." Wu Anjun said, otherwise Su Ming would have to close the door himself to prevent any danger from appearing around Su Ming's main body.
"Oh, by the way, I have something to tell Lord Garuda."
Su Ming stopped upon hearing this. "What is it?"
"Hmm, I wonder if Lord Garuda knows that the Nine-Headed Serpent has a significant connection with the owner of this body, and that he is preparing to kill this person named Su Ming."
"The other one seems to be called Salang. Her purpose is rather simple, so there's no need to worry about her. And the other one is called Xu Sheng. He's the one who rang the bell for the second time."
Su Ming frowned.
"Impossible. When the bell tolled, that Xu Sheng had already been suppressed by me. He didn't have time to ring the bell, and besides—that..."
The opposite.
"Who can say for sure about qualifications? Does that person named Salang have the qualifications? I don't think so, but she was able to ring the bell. Qualifications are a very difficult thing to define."
"Furthermore, don't you know what the situation is here?"
Wu Anjun's words made Su Ming realize something.
He did indeed suppress Xu Sheng, and Lord Wu'an had no reason to lie, meaning it was indeed possible that Xu Sheng had struck the bell in the underworld.
The unique characteristic here is that Xu Sheng's original body has awakened, but he has not disappeared here.
Xu Sheng was split into two souls.
"It seems that you already know, sir. I don't seem to have any other important matters to attend to. If you wish to take action, do so as soon as possible. However, please forgive me, sir, as I will be forced to retaliate." Lord Wu'an was quite open-minded.
He seemed to have already foreseen his own death.
