Chapter 191
Fang Anwei looked around her, trying to acclimate herself with her new environment. Surprisingly, her body which had adapted to the Dreamworld was able to survive here in the Underworld without the use of any life-saving pills.
Fang Anwei sighed in relief realizing she will have no difficulty wandering the Underworld. She looked at Wang Hao as she was about to ask him on what they will do next. But before she could talk to him, she heard some whooshing sounds and she saw countless souls going at their place.
Fang Anwei tensed and was about to fight them when Roxy touched her shoulder while shaking her head. She was also smiling as if she was telling Fang Anwei that the newcomers are not enemies. Fang Anwei followed what Roxy implied, lowering her tension.
Seconds passed by and Fang Anwei was able to the appearances of the newcomers. They wore black armor on their bodies, and they also rode wyverns.
Fang Anwei realized that their appearance was similar to one of Wang Hao’s followers. She looked at Jin, who was exceptionally pleased upon seeing the black-armored men’s arrival.
He approached them with a hearty laugh, as he proudly said,
“Hahaha, look, I survived that damn place! That gives me a promotion right?”
Chuckles echoed among the armored men as they welcomed Jin back. It was obvious that they were happy upon seeing him alive. They hugged him, with some clapping him on his back while congratulating him for his safe arrival.
The largest of the armored men, who even towered over Jin, looked over Wang Hao and the others. His eyes swept over them trying to see all the survivors. His eyes stopped for a moment on Fang Anwei, before it swiveled back to Wang Hao.
From the positions of everyone who arrived, Wang Hao’s position was peculiar. He was at the front, with the others clumped behind him. This made him look like the temporary leader of the new arrivals.
After saying this, Garu shot Fang Anwei a look, as if he was trying to see whether she was an enemy or not. Wang Hao saw this, so he said to Garu,
“Don’t worry, she’s now our acquaintance. She’s with us, and I assure you with my name that she’s trustworthy.”
Garu nodded, accepting Wang Hao’s explanation. He gave one of the armored men a look, as if they were confirming something. They seemed to have a silent conversation, with Garu shooting them a look every once in a while.
Fang Anwei was already starting to get a little nervous when Garu broke off his conversation with his subordinate. He looked at Wang Hao while saying,
“My subordinate here has informed one of the officials about your arrival. Now, we just need to wait until they arrive.” And so everyone waited for the arrival of this so-called official.
Minutes passed by, and Fang Anwei saw a lone figure rushing from the distance. She immediately felt pressure at this new arrival.
Fang Anwei was able to see clearer details of him when the figure got near.
The figure wore black robes, with a black mask covering his face. More dark miasma travelled around his body as his left hand brandished the long scythe that it held.
She then heard Garu muttering,
“What is someone from the Royal Yama bloodline doing here? Things like this were not that important to warrant their presence! ”
From what she could see from everyone’s reactions, Fang Anwei realized that this dark scythe-wielding person was of a high and scary status. She could see everyone tensing at his arrival.
It did not take the scythe man a second before he started speaking.
“Where are the other survivors?”
Wang Hao took this as a chance to speak up. “Aside from us, nobody else survived.”
The scythe man replied, “Even the esteemed Siwang Wangzi?”
Upon hearing this, Fang Anwei saw Gabrielle shivering imperceptibly. Wang Hao just looked calm as he said,
“He also died, he was killed by the Dream Mist destroying him.”
“How about his treasures?” The scythe man looked calm even though he heard the news of Siwang Wangzi’s death. “If he really died, at least his treasures would have survived right?”
Wang Hao shook his head. “When he died, his treasures got swept along with his corpse. With that kind of dangerous mist, we could not retrieve his body and treasures.”
Fang Anwei suddenly felt the temperature dropping as a powerful pressure engulfed them. The scythe man spoke again, but this time his voice was laced with unmistakable fury.
“If what you said was true, then why was Siwang Wangzi’s Ghost Lamp in her hands?” The scythe man made a grasping motion with his hand, and Fang Anwei heard Roxy letting out a panicked yelp.
She saw a spooky-looking lamp coming out of Roxy’s eyesbrows. Roxy tried to pull it back, but it won’t budge as it floated in front of Roxy.
The scythe man sounded furious as he said,
“This is Siwang Wangzi’s Ghost Lamp! Why the hell is it with her huh? Wang Hao, it seems like you and this woman right here was lying to me! Is there any truth that you have been hiding from me?” The scythe man glided forward as he drawled,
“Maybe you killed Siwang Wangzi and took his treasures for yourselves.”
“C**p!” That was what Fang Anwei could think when she saw the situation turn from great to worse!
