Absolute Death Game

Xiao Buli’s eyes immediately flashed with a prompt, "Triggered Quest: Surveillance of the Eldest Senior Brother. Accept? Yes/No."

"Huacha, is this even possible?" Xiao Buli was somewhat bewildered as he stared at the sentence before his eyes. If he didn’t accept, he would definitely fall under suspicion, but if he did, wouldn’t he become a double agent? After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Buli had no choice but reluctantly to click "Yes."

Xuanxu Zi waved his hand, "If there’s nothing else, you may leave."

Xiao Buli left the grand hall, strolled around Qingfeng Mingyue, visited the Beast Pen to see Maoqiu, and then proceeded to the dwelling of the Eldest Senior Brother.

"How is the fusion of the soul progressing?" Xiao Buli asked curtainly as soon as he entered.

"I need to first fuse the Soul Shards, then create a suitable body for him. Because these Soul Shards were killed by the enemy, some which should have automatically returned have now lost that ability, so they need external help. It’ll probably take a day or two," Gu Yuexuan replied truthfully.

"Then you’d better hurry. If I’m not wrong, our master might have already started to suspect you," Xiao Buli reminded him.

"What?" Gu Yuexuan was shocked upon hearing this, causing his teacup to tremble. "What did he say?"

"Nothing much, but he asked if you or I did anything unusual on Wangliang Mountain and whether you acted strangely when I saw Xuan Zhenzi."

"You didn’t give anything away, did you?" Gu Yuexuan seemed to have a considerable fear of Xuanxu Zi.

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother. I know how to deal with him."

However, Gu Yuexuan didn’t seem quite reassured, his head bowed in deep thought for a long time before he suddenly looked up and said, "Junior Brother, don’t leave Mystic Hollow Palace these next few days. Help me watch over Master’s every move and stall him if necessary. I can’t let the plan I’ve worked on for so many years fail at the last moment."

As soon as his words fell, a prompt popped up before Xiao Buli, System Notification: Second Phase Triggered, "Delaying Time," this mission is a plot mission, and if it is not accepted, mission will automatically fail.

Damn it, I’ve become a triple agent in the blink of an eye. But then again, the more missions, the better, Xiao Buli hurriedly chose to accept.

"Eldest Senior Brother, don’t worry. I’ve got this under control," he said.

"Then I’ll rely on you. Have a seat here; I’m going to refine Xuan Zhenzi’s Soul Shards right now," Gu Yuexuan said, forgoing any formalities as he turned and went into the inner room.

Having accepted the mission, Xiao Buli was pleased. With the master absent, he naturally lost the interest to stay seated, especially since he had a head in his backpack that was still unclaimed for the reward. After finishing his cup of fragrant tea, he left.

After a few turns, he arrived outside the grand hall, straightened his clothes, and then stepped inside.

"Hmm?" Xuanxu Zi found it odd to see Xiao Buli return after leaving. "Disciple, is there something on your mind?"

"Master," Xiao Buli gave a deep bow, an excess of politeness never frowned upon, especially for someone of Xuanxu Zi’s stature, and Xiao Buli was always very respectful. "I almost forgot to mention something. After we killed Xuan Zhenzi, we entered the Taiyin Sect’s altar and found that the Elder of the sect was another Xuan Zhenzi. The battle was fierce at the time, and later I gradually forgot about this matter. It was only when I was organizing my backpack just now that I remembered I had also beheaded this person, and I forgot to hand him over to you just now." Though his explanation was far-fetched, Xuanxu Zi, being highly intelligent, naturally knew that Xiao Buli was likely concocting a scheme to garner Contribution Value.

Xuanxu Zi had something in mind to use Xiao Buli for and he was frustrated inside, but his expression remained dignified as he nodded, "To think this traitor had degenerated to the point of joining an Evil Cult. You did the right thing," he said, taking the head that Xiao Buli handed over.

It was another fake, of course, but 500 Contribution Value truly and firmly landed in Xiao Buli’s pouch. It seemed that his plan was indeed effective, and in a blink of an eye, he has already earned two thousand Contribution Value. Find your next adventure on NovelBin.Côm

After accepting another mission to pursue the traitor, Xiao Buli then opened up the skill-learning interface.

Excitement swelled in Xiao Buli’s heart. With so much Contribution Value, he wanted to make good use of it and exchange for some useful Spells.

Opening the list of spells, Xiao Buli scanned through them again and again. Having lost the Soul Slayer’s Blade, he was no longer able to harm ghosts. Therefore, a spell specialized in dealing with the Undead was essential.

He quickly locked onto the spell he wanted – "Sunfire Spellball."

Sunfire Spellball: Inflicts ’Yang’ ’Fire’ dual Attributes damage to a target, with damage values each equal to twice the spiritual power.

This spell wasn’t very strong against living creatures since the Yang Attribute damage was extremely low against biological types. This made its effectiveness against half the enemies far inferior to the Nether Fire Orb. However, at the very least, it was an AOE spell, not to mention its exceptionally great effect on Undead enemies. If he ever had to farm at the Gathering Yin Pool again, this spell would definitely be powerful.

This spell was also incredibly expensive, costing a hefty 500 Contribution Value, making it the most expensive among third-tier spells.

Then, Xiao Buli began to ponder whether to learn a protective spell or one that could allow him to escape from the base. Absorbed in his search, Xuanxu Zi became somewhat impatient, "Disciple, make your selection quickly. Once you’ve finished learning the spell, accompany me to see your Eldest Senior Brother. He’s been with you this time, and it’s been a few days since he checked in with me. I seldom communicate with him normally, and it’s time to see how he’s doing." (To be continued.
