Free Web NovelChapter 149: Chapter 112: Wandering Souls’ Yard Time (Part 2)
The three of them had dinner together. Afterward, Li Ziyu went out for a walk on his own, while Zhang Peng and Liu Xingxing returned to their own fortresses.
For Li Ziyu, nightfall was the beginning of a new day. For everyone else, it was the end of theirs.
After walking around a bit to aid his digestion, Li Ziyu climbed to the top of the Castle Main Tower. He leaned against the crenellations, gazing out at the Wraith Mountain Range under the night sky. Points of light twinkled within the mountains—they were the Undead, active on the slopes, gathering resources.
The night breeze was cool. Looking up at the night sky, a captivating band of purple and green light stretched across the heavens, surrounded by twinkling stars.
’How relaxing.’
In his past life, he’d never seen such a beautiful sight, nor had he breathed such fresh, crisp air. After transmigrating, not only was he well-established, but he also had a legion of subordinates. He ate well and slept soundly. Now *this* was the life.
A smile appeared on Li Ziyu’s face as he stretched languidly.
The Alliance Army that had come to attack him had been completely annihilated, and everything had returned to a state of peace. Li Ziyu descended from the roof and walked into the main hall.
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!
’Hm?’
’What was that sound?’
A dull thumping sound echoed again. Li Ziyu’s heart skipped a beat. He looked around the empty hall but found nothing.
’Holy shit, a ghost!’
’Uh, wait a minute. Am I afraid of ghosts?’
Li Ziyu suddenly realized—why should he be afraid of ghosts? His own subordinates were Undead. Even if he ran into something like the Grudge or Sadako, he wouldn’t be scared in the slightest!
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!
The dull thumping sound came again. Li Ziyu followed the noise with his eyes, and his brow twitched. It was coming from the Soul Coffin.
He walked over and tapped lightly on the Soul Coffin. It immediately responded in kind. ’So it really is the Wandering Souls.’
Li Ziyu thought for a moment before opening the lid of the Soul Coffin. A green figure floated out.
"King Borhan?" Li Ziyu asked with a smile when he saw the figure.
"Master of the Undead," the King of the Wraith greeted Li Ziyu.
"Were you the ones knocking on the Soul Coffin? Is something wrong?" Li Ziyu asked, confused. The Wandering Souls had been quiet ever since they entered the Soul Coffin. Why were they suddenly trying to get his attention today?
"We wanted to ask if you would let us out to see the new world," King Borhan said, a little hesitantly.
Back then, Li Ziyu had promised them that he would let them see the outside world if he had the chance.
The Wandering Souls could feel that they had left the Wraith Mountain Range. They didn’t want to be trapped in a box again and were desperate to see the new world. But after several days, no one had paid them any mind, and the Wandering Souls were getting anxious.
Li Ziyu blinked, then slapped his forehead.
After collecting the Wandering Souls, he had tossed the Soul Coffin to one side. The thing was too cold, which made him reluctant to get near it, so the matter of letting the Wandering Souls out had completely slipped his mind.
Realizing this, he quickly apologized to King Borhan. "My apologies, my apologies. Someone was trying to attack me recently. In my haste, I completely forgot. It’s my fault."
Hearing that someone wanted to attack the Master of the Undead, King Borhan’s expression immediately turned serious. "Master of the Undead, you led us away from the Wraith Mountain Range, and for that, we are grateful. Please, tell us who wants to attack you. We are willing to become your Power and repel the invaders for you."
"Ahahaha, no need, no need." Li Ziyu laughed and scratched his head. "It’s already over. I’ve already eliminated the enemy. But thank you very much for your kind offer."
"Please do not treat us as outsiders. If you are ever in need, you must tell us," King Borhan said solemnly. From the moment he entered the Soul Coffin, he had sensed that his Soul Body had become bound to it. And as the master of the Soul Coffin, Li Ziyu naturally held their lives in his hands.
"Of course, of course. I’m sorry for keeping you in the Soul Coffin for so long. You can come out now. Go and see the world." As Li Ziyu spoke, he stepped aside and threw the lid of the Soul Coffin wide open.
King Borhan was so excited his Soul Body trembled. He let out a long cry as his form shot into the sky, passing through the Bone Wall of the Castle Main Tower as if it weren’t there. A green light flashed from within the Soul Coffin, and just a moment later, like a geyser erupting, countless Wandering Souls surged out, their excited howls echoing one after another.
"We’re free!"
"We’re out!"
"The world! Let me see this world!"
The Wandering Souls cheered and rejoiced, leaving the Soul Coffin that had been their shelter. They passed through the Bone Wall and flew outside, hovering in the night sky and looking down upon the land below.
The millions of Wandering Souls radiated an extremely terrifying pressure. The very air grew cold. The Minotaurs, who had been eating dinner around a campfire, instantly felt the blood freeze in their veins. Trembling, they raised their heads to look up, their ox-like eyes widening like lightbulbs.
"Wan-Wandering Souls! The Wandering Souls are attacking!"
As these words were spoken, the Tabu Tribe camp immediately descended into chaos. Children were shoved into thatched huts while the adults grabbed their Totem Poles, staring intently at the Wandering Souls in the sky.
The Undead would protect them, but who knew if they could win against the Wandering Souls? Just how many were there? A dense, packed mass, they practically blotted out the sky!
It wasn’t just the Minotaurs. Liu Xingxing also charged out with 200 Catmen, while Zhang Peng had his fortress burrow underground, taking up a defensive position with his Gophers.
Everyone felt as if a nightmare had descended.
"Hey! Don’t scare people!"
Just as a hush fell over the area, a shout suddenly came from the direction of the Castle Main Tower. The people below immediately recognized it as the voice of the Master of the Undead, Li Ziyu.
